County Farm Dermnstratior
agent, R. W. Graeber, of Meck
lenburg ana a number of the
leading farmers are coming tc
Catawba county and to Hickory
on August 10, This trip will be
made by automobile with the
view of insDecting the Hickory
Creamery and the stock farms of
Catawba county. We hope the
business men of Hickory and the
farmers oi the county will give
their attention to these gentle
men and make their stay in
Hickory as pleasant as possible.
This is something Catawba coun
ty and Hickory chouid appreciate,
as it is a known faet that Cataw
ba stands first of any county in
the State in diversified farming
and dairying.
After these gentlemen have
looked over the creamery we
want them to go to the Home
Ganner Company and see the
canners that are being made in
Htckory. In our opinion every
farmer should have one of these
canners, as it is one of the big
gest savers on the farm today.
You can sell your vegetables in
the early spring for a good price
but when the market is glutted
you have to sell for a mere song.
By using one of these canners
you can save all the vegetables
on the farm and sell in the win
ter for a good price and not allow
it to go to waste. We gladly
welcome these gentlemen to Ca
tawba and Hickory and do hop?
everybody will help to entertain
these gentlemen and let them
know what a hospitble people we
have Hickory and Catawba coun
ty. Don't forget the dav, Au
gust 10.
MUTT AND JEFF COMING.
The Hickory Democrat say?
one of the best citiz3ns of Hick
ory ha 3 requested it to locate
Mutt and Jeff, the great funny
characters produced by Bud Fish
er. Mutt ana Jeff have dropped
out of the dailies for a good many
weeks, possibly because Fisher
had saved a neat roll for a vaca
tion or a little dissipation. Bui
Mutt and Jeff are coming back
right away and this will be grat
ifving news to all readers of th(
dailies whether old men, young
men, serious ones or humorous
ones. In an advertisement in the
Editor and Publisher, The Wheel
er Syndicate of New York an
nounces that it has purchasec
Mr. Fisher's exclusive newspaper
services which will begin August
9. Fisher is to receive thre(
times as large a salary as thai
paid to any other artist—a legi
timate result of the universal de
mand for his unapproachable anc
inimitable brand of humor.—

me prompt relief, removing the pain in
my back and making me feel better,"

A STATEMENT.
In regard to Mayor Stanley's statement
in The Democrat of July 3rd, and var
ious articles in the newspapers of late
date, it may appear from the tone of
these articles to the public that the fac
tion that opposed Mr. Stanley in the re
cent election are the crooks, cut-throats
and outlaws, as in one article that ap
peared in a paper of recent date. It
stated a certain element were the roughs
and then this article of last week states
"if it had not been for the hatred on the
part of a few people incurred by me in
winning the recent election this case
would not have been hcai;d of outside of
Highland." If Mr. Stanley means any
reflection on me or any one that made
the race with me, I know he is far
wrong, as there has transpired in the
last thirty days things that are deplor
able to any lawabiding citizen. As for
hatred and vengeance God forbid that
we should seek such. Vengeance is
mine sayetli the Lord. I will repay. I
am willing to answer to the One who
knows all things for all the vengeance
I have wreaked on Mr. Stanley.
The articles also contain signers as
the citizens of Highland. We are all
citizens of Highland so long as we are
law abiding. One certain man even
>aid to me so long as you uphold law
lessness it will reign. Am I a law abid
ing citizen? Do I uphold lawlessness?
I will not be the judge. I will give you
a few tames of voters of Highland that
voted for me and then the public can
judge for themselves in the matter.

TEN-YEAR-OLD CARTER
IIANBURY SHOT IN HAND
Carter Hanbury, ten year old son of
Mr. and Mrsr C. F. Hanbury who live
on Morgan strees, has a bird shot
wound in his back and one in his hand,
recieved yesterday afternoon about five
o'clock while playing in the rear yard
of the Raleigh High School. The gun
which inflicted the wound was fired by
Miss. Rosalind Williamson, the daugh
ter of Captain B. P. Williamson, who
lives in the adjoining lot.
Miss Williamson explained that she
fired at the ground and when she pull
ed the trigger did not see anv ot the
boys. Her reason for firing was to scare
a number of youngsters of the neigh
borhood, who, she says, are continually
making raids on fruit trees which hang
heavily laden limbs over the fence.
She had no intention, she claims, of
shooting any of the boys and as a mat
ter of fact appears generally grieved at
the incident.
Young Hanbury. according to the
story told his mother, had just come to
the yard from the Y. Ml C. A. and was
playing there with a number of his com
panions when the shot was fired. He
denies that they were after the peach
es.
Directly after the shot several offi
cers appeared and took charge of the
gun, no further action was taken, yes

Some one advised me to take Lydia E.

taken so much medicine and my doctor
said he could do me no good so I told my
husband he might get me a bottle and I
would try it. By the time I had taken
it I felt better. I continued its use, and
now I am well and strong.

Becker had been waiting for some
news and when Deputy Warden John

many years since you were reDriman

The old soldier, with irony on ac
count of the repeated asse-tions of his
age, replied: "For not cleaning, me
bow an' arrow, sir.''

The- fo'.owing~interview was given by Mr. Ford to one of the §
aggressive Ford agents, who returned to his home and gave it to his §
territory in the following newspaper adveitisement:
I On a personal visit to Mr. Henry Ford I broached the subject of a
a possible August Ist Rebate.
(The Ford Company announced last year—as you well remem- *
ber—that if their total sales reached 300,000 cars between August 1, 5
1914 and August 1, 1915, each purchaser during that period wot Id re- jj
ceive a refund of $40.00 to $60.00.)
"Mr. Ford," I suggested, "Is there "anything I can say io our |
people with regard to the Ford Motor Company's 300,000 car rebate f
plan?" |l
"We shall the 300,000,"was the quiet reply—"and in li raanths, >
a full month ahead of August 1st!"
"Then a refund is practically assured?" ?
I "Yes—barring the totally unexpected. We are 50,000 to 75,-tOO jf
cars behind orders today. Factories and branches are sending cut jj
cars 1,800 daily."
I then said to Mr. Ford: "If I could make a definite refund statt -
ment we would increase our local sales 500 cars."
ou may say," was Mr. Ford's deliberate and significant j*eply
I to this \ou may say that we shall pay back to each purchase ;r of
a Ford Car between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, barring
unforeseen, the sum of SSO. \ou may say that I authorized you to
make this statement."
hat can I add to the above? $15,000,000 cash coming back 2o j
Ford owners! And to prospective Ford owners up to August: J,
1915, it actually means—Ford Touring Cars for s49o—less the
rebate! Ford Runabouts for s44o—less the SSO rebate! Wh li ft «
there left for me to say? g
