Huffman, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Burke county, has called a meeting of the committee for Saturday, April 6th, in Mor ganton, to transact important business. Mrs. Jeannett Jewell Kellogg, of Buffalo, N. Y., said to be one of the most gifted platform readers of the present day, may be heard at the Auditorium next Thursday evening. The reading will be for the benefit of the United Charities. The Morganton "Lions" junior nine are proud of their record at Glen Alpine Saturday afternoon, The played ball with the Glen Alpine boys with the following result: Runs, Mor ganton 3, Glen Alpine 0; hits, Morganton 5, Glen Alpine 3; errors, Morganton 2, Glen Alpine 5. But the Morganton boys had better watch out the Glen Alpine boys say they will beat 'em next time. The Morganton Concert Band went serenading to the State Hospital last night and it goes without saying that the people "over on the hill" were very much pleased. We are all proud of our band and anything they need should meet with generous help from our citizens. We are pleased with the announcement that they are arraging to give weekly open air concerts during the summer months. The millinery openings! Oh! the many pretty things that were cn display last Thursday and Friday at the millinery depart ments of B. F. Davis & Son and Lazarus Bros. and the host of pretty women who thronged both places, presented a scene that is simply beyond descripton, that's all. The new spring hats, the flowers, the dress goods, laces, etc. well, from expressions on the visitors' faces they must have been highly pleased. Postmaster C. F. McKesson went to Charlotte Monday, re turning yesterday with his little grand daughter Elizabeth Mc- Neel, who will visit here for awh.le. The Charlotte News of Monday afternoon said: "Hon Charles F. McKesson, of Mor ganton, is a prominent visitor in the city today. Mr. McKesson is postmaster at Burke's county seat. Few men in the state are as gifted with pen and in speech as Mr. McKesson. Verily he hath the silver tongue. Mr. McKes son has a host of friends in this city.' Kickin Old Booze Aroun :o:r - r 0 Ac Jit a pounds, '.vekdrlng over P,-.v to:::' are Mr, r, ;. Everett, of Maxton, and Mo-s. of Concord, after .:!: several weeks here with parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. L. ail!, have returned to their Attacked by a Vicious Dog. Rev. Albert Sherrill, pastor of Table Rock circuit, while at tending the district conference at Old Fort last week, was at tacked by a vicious dog and both of his hands and arms were badly lacerated by the bites of the dog. Mr. Sherrill returned to Morganton immediately and his wounds were dressed by Dr. C. E. Koss. Much anxiety was felt for Mr. Sherrill, as it was reported that the dog which at tacked him had been bitten by a dog supposed to have the rabies. But the good news came yester day from the Pasteur institute at Raleigh, where the head of the dog attacking Mr. Sherrill was sent, that there was no evi dence of rabies. Mr. Sherrill was in town yesterday and his wounds are fast healing. For the past several weeks "old booze" has been "catching it in the neck" in Morganton. At the last term of court there were numerous bills of indict ment for liquor selling sent up by the grand jury. As reports in The News-Herald have shown, there were several con victions and road sentences, and other cases are on the docket for trial at the next term of the court. The Law and Order League, recently organized here, has worked up the evidence in most of the cases. PUT THE LID ON. And to put the lid on tight members of the league appeared before the Board of Town Com missioners Monday night with a petition signed by about sixty citizens asking that the druggists not be allowed to sell whiskey on prescription. Solicitor Hall Johnston had notified the drug gists that on and after April 1st a town license would be required of them to fill prescriptions for liquor. The commissioners voted to refuse license that might be asked for by druggists, and now if you want a little liquor even in a "case of sickness" or to make a little "camphire" it looks like you will have to go to our neighbor on the north, Virginia. To Stop the Use of Liquor in Elections. To the Editor of The News-Herald. The pledge printed below was brought up and unanimously adopted by the Law and Order League and signed by every member present, and copies will be circulated throughout the county and it is hoped that every good citizen of both political parties will sign this pledge and use his influence to stop the use of liquor in elections. The pledge has the endorse ment of the chairmen of both po litical parties and is signed by a large number of Burke county's leading citizens, and we feel sure every citizen will do all he can to away with liquor at elections. THE PLEDGE. "Whereas, in the opinion of the undersigned, the use of liquor and money in elections and pri maries in Burke county by mem bers of both political parties to buy, debauch and inriuence voters is a crime and shame and dis grace and should be stopped. We, the undersigned, hereby agree ana pledge ourselves not to use liquor or money in elec tions or primaries, directly or in directly, or to vote for any man or candidate who uses, or has others to use for him, any liquor in any election or primary or who uses any money in any elec tion or primary to buy and in fluence voters or has others to use it for him, other than for necessary ligitimate purposes and who will not sign this pledge." L. E. Webb, Sec. To Build New Jail A Long Needed Improvement Now a Certainty County Commissioners Make the Order for Modern Jail New Steel Bridge Over Upper Creek. The regular session of the County Commissioners for April lasted two days Monday and Tuesday. All five of the mem bers were present The most of Monday's session was devoted to routine work payment of claims, &c. An order was made lor a new steel bridge over Upper creek on the Wilkesboro road near Smyrna church. This bridge will cost about six hun dred dollars. At Tuesday's session the com missioners negotiated with Mr. C. A. Webb, of Asheville, for a loan of $30,000 with which to build a new jail and pay the out standing debts of the county amounting to $12,000 or $15,000, The loan from Mr. Webb is to be paid in instalments of $1,500 per year. The rate of interest is 5 per cent The new jail will be located on the south corner of Court Square and will be up to date in every respect, -in fact it will be an or nament to the town. The cost will be in the neighborhood of $17,000. Every grand jury for the past fifteen or twenty years has rec ommended a new jail almost demanded it and at the last court Judge Justice talked like there would be "something do ing" at next court if by that time work had not been commenced on a new jail. So the commis sioners are amply justified in this appropriation. Plans for the new jail will be submitted for bids within a few days. District Conference. The Morganton District Con ference (M. E. Church) held at Old Fort March 28th to 31st was largely attended, in fact, every pastor in the district was present and fifty or sixty laymen were in attendance and the reports from the various churches were very gratifying. Those from Burke who attended were Rev. H. H. Jordan, of the Morganton church; Rev. Albert Sherrill, of the Table Rock circuit; Rev. J. P. Hornbuckle, of the Morganton circuit; Rev. E. J. Poe of the Connelly Springs circuit, and Laymen A. A. Connelly and J. L. Nelson. Presiding Elder R. M. Hoyle presided over the conference, and resolutions very complimentary to him and his four years service in the district were passed. The next conference will be held at Cliff side, Rutherford county.

This Western Section Relative to the Removal of Rutherford College. Correspondence of The News-Herald. It seems to me that any sug gestion to move any of our schools from this western country ought to immediately force upon us the fact that we have no school facilities to spare. It is likely that Rutherford College is about where it ought to be. Instead of being moved it ought to be en larged and made capable of ac commodating the hundreds of young people who live within its bounds. It is not altogether a community affair. It ought to deeply concern all the people of this section of the North Caro lina Conference. While there may be no millionaires among us, wehave people and money enough to raise funds sufficient to en courage the building of a reason ablv well equipped institution in our midst. To the end that funds may be raised, let all the friends of the movement do all they can, and get others to do likewise. Let no one wait for another. Let us hear from you. It does not seem that this territory can afford to let this school go, losing the aid that the church is providing for the place where it is finally sit uated. I shall be glad to make a date with any community to meet and talk this matter in person. Address your communications to M. T. Hinshaw, Rutherford College, N. C. 0 ii p. it ii FOR SIXTEEN YEARS Pr.
