Mr. Byron Conley, of McDo.7- cil, to-day introduced, by in quest, a bill in the House for the drainage of Muddy Creek and South Muddy Creek in McDo ,; eil and Burke counties, repealing a former drainage act for theie treams when the provisions of this bill were carried out. Bat the committee this afternoon voted to report the bill unfavor ably and it seems the drainage work will continue under the act now in force. After much discussion pro and con a bill to allow the Gov ernor to appoint women notaries public passed final reading in the House to-day and was sent ':o the Senate for the concur rence of that body. It is pretty hard to tell just now how that body will look at the proposition. Morganton- was pretty well represented in Raleigh yester day and to-day, her citizens here looking after legislation being being Messrs. A. C. Avery, R. L. Huffman, J. F. Spainhour, I. T. Avery .and W. C. Ervin. T. G. C. Raleigh, Jan. 26th, 1915. Morganton Corporate- Extension Question. The Under the Dome columr of the News and Observer of Tuesday contained the follow ing: When things get dull in a lsg lative way Morganton can ai way's be depended upon to far nish copy. They 'have started the ball roiling a little earlier this session than usual. Thi time it is to extend the corpo rate limits of the town which al ready stretches over a gooc; sized portion of Burke county But there is a cotton mill, a lum ber plant, a well grown supurb an village and a country resi dence of a well known barrister which would help the tax ac count considerably and for thai reason they have reached out tit " i 1 -i . ana naa a um lnuouuceu m mt Senate to take all the above out fit inside. Of course the cotton mill, lumber factory and others don't want to come in and wil. fight the proposition to a finish. The bill has been favorably re ported in the Senate but before it reaches the House the Burke citizens both for and against the proposition will be flocking to Raleigh, ail of which will help to enrich the coffers of the rail raads and hotels., The Farmers' Union is try ing to push four measures through the Legislature rural credit system, land segregation, or permitting white communi ties to limit their land sales to .vhite people, repeal of the crop 'ien and a measure for the gov ernment of co-operative enter prises. They would have re peal of the lien law effective 12 -.nonths after the lav is passed. The friends of" Mrs. J. J. Hut chison will regret to learn that he has been confined to her home on West Hill street for the past two weeks with an at tack of rheumatism j Charlotte Observer, 23rd. Last Saturday was no doubt the beginning of the time when Burke shall see wonderful road improvement. People are awak ing to the fact of the economy, in fact the necessity, of good roads. . You may not be able to judge a man by the clothes he wears, but a fairly good test of the advancement and stand ing of a community is to be had from the condition of the roads of that comunity. Burke will not be left behind in that par ticular as the citizenship of the county is showing belief in good roads and will make efforts to have them. Wisdom was shown in the selection of the committee which will draft the proposed bill to be sent to the Legislature. Each is a man of high stand ing in his township and there's not a one on the committee who does not have the best interests of his community and county at heart. We may be sure. that the proposed road bill will em body the things it should with these men to formulate it. Let us work together to bring about the time w-hen we shall have really good roads in Burke. Hickory Holds Big Mass-Meeting to Aid in Prohibition Fight. Hickory Correspondence, 26th, Char lotte Observer. Resolutions praying the Gen eral Assembly of North Caro lina now in session in Raleigh to enact such laws as will make the Webb liquor bill effective in North Carolina, requesting Sen ator C. A. Jones and Represen tative J. Yates Killian to sup port such a bil, and pledging themselves to use every honest effort to make the law effective both by refusing- to order liquor tor their personal consumption for beverages purposes and to endeavor to brinsr to iustice those who violate the law, were drawn up and passed by a ris ing vote at a mass-meeting of about 500 Hickory citizens in Corinth Reformed church last night. The meeting was called by order of the Ministerial As sociation of Hickory and the purpose was to devise some means of strengthening the Webb-Kenyon bill in order to make it more effective. A Great Surgeon. Statesville Landmark. Mr. W. A. Erwin of Durham brought his daughter to the Sanatorium last week for an op eration for appendicitis. The young lady was operated on and promises an early recovery. Speaking to a Statesville friend of the purpose of his visit here, Mr. Erwin, who had patronized the Sanatorium be fore said to Dr. H. F. Long: "You've got a wonderful man here. If a member of my fam ily got sick in New York I'd bring them straight to Dr. Long in Statesville." That's a high compliment and all of it deserved. Dr. Long's great ability as a surgeon is rec ognized wherever he is known. Some of his professional. breth ren who know his work regard him as near the first, if not the first, in the State, and as rank ing among the best in the coun try; and he has won his reputa tion by his work. And Under the Dome column Wednesday morning containing the following: "I don't think your Under the Dome item on Morganton and the movement to extend the cor porate limits wras entirely fair to all, said Mr. A. C. Avery, Jr.. of Morganton yesterday. "You. sav 'the corporate limits of Morganton already stretches over a good-sized portion of Burke county. On the contrary the corporate territory extends only a half mile in one direction and only a mile m any direc tion. That does not look exces sive. "You say, too, that when things get. dull Morganton can be depended on to furnish copy.' This is the first time a vigorous fight has been made for the ex tension of the corporate limits and if there has been any pre vious agitation from Morgan ton it must have been concern ing some Other matter. v "Our proposition to extend the corporate limits provides for the holding of an election and those who are outside the limits, and whom it is proposed to take in the limits, will have the opportunity to vote along with all others concerned. Some of those on the outside want to come in though of course there are some, 'as is always the case under such circumstances, who do not want to come in. It is proposed to extend the limits so that they will be a mile from the court house m all directions. State School for Blind May Be Moved to Salisbury. The removal of the State School for the Blind from Ral eigh to Salisbury is recommend ed by the Special Legislative Commission of the 1913 Assem bly which filed its report Tues day with Governor Craig for the present Legislature, former Senator E. B. Jones being chair man of the committee and E. A Austin of Stanley secretary The removal would involve not only the school for the white blind children. but the school for colored deaf, dumb and blind also, the present com bined schools having nearly 400 enrollment and plants worth over $150,000 in Raleiffh. The committee would have the State sell the two school plants here as inadequate and impos sible ot bringing up the neces sary requirements and accept the offer of Salisbury to donate the Salisbury Military School building along with 40 acres of land and an option on as much as 200 acres of additional ad jacent lands at $100 and aerp The building offered is 26x91 ieet and is three stories hicrh The Governor will transmit the report to the Asesmbly soon. a Ambitions in Blue Print. At the recent hanmipt. rvf large Sunday school class of young men in Washington City, the Secretary of the Navy Dan iels gave the following fine coun sel: "The first duty of a vnnnc man is to learn what he is in the world for, and then lay out plan to work by. The great trouble with the world to-day is not skepticism and fidelity, but drifting. A young man at the beginning of his career should make a blueprint of his am bitions, then, build his life with turrets and spires. The idea is not to make a living, but to make a life."

As proof of this, out of 200 creamery men exhibiting whole milk creamery butter at the 1913 National Dairy Show at Chicago, 187 were using De Laval Cream Separators in their creameries. ALMOST ALL WHOLE MILK Creameries use the DeLaval exclu sively because they have found that they can't afford to use any other machine, no . matter what the price. Their loss with any other cream sep arator would 'more than eat up the . cost of a De Laval in a very short time. . " ASIDE PROM THIS, the superior--ity of the De Laval has been com pletely demonstrated thousands of times in the hardest kind of compet itive tests, and by their 1,750,000 us ers the world over. THE DE LAVAL COMPANY guar antees that its machine will skim cleaner, that it runs easier.that it is easier to wash, and will last long er than any other separator on the market, and always stands ready to demonstrate the superioxity of the RUFUS LONCj, Local Representative De Laval in every particular to the satisfaction of any intending purchas er in a fair test. ANY CLAIM OF ANY ONE that any other separator will do as good as the DeLaval is nothing but pre tense. If it were possible for you to. be aswell posted on cream separat ors as the creamerymen, "would be" De Laval competitors would not dare to make some of the claims for their machines which you so frequently hear. FOR INSTANCE, it is claimed that one machine now being offered for sale in this territory is just like the old style De Laval. This machine never was and never will be as good a machine as the old style De Laval, but even if it were the fact remains that the old style De Laval which it imitates was not as close a skimmer or as good a machine as the present "split-wing" style; and one good evi dence 6f this is the fact that twice as many De Lavals are now sold ev ery year as when the present "split wing" ' style De Laval machine was first put on the market. WE UNDERSTAND that another machine is being offered in this ter- 1. i CANNER CO. ritory which is said to be the "twin sister of the De Laval"; but every time this machine has gone into a skimming test with a De Laval it has made -such a poor showing that it is plainly evident the "relationship" is much more distant. ANOTHER ARGUMENT put forth for the purchase of these "just as good" machines is that the first is little less than the De Laval. Why is it less? Simply because such mach ines are imitations. They cost less to make than the De Laval, but they are worth a great deal less to use. Why buy ah imitation cream separa tor when you get the machine im itated? IF THERE IS STILL ANY doubt in your mind as to the best machine for you to buy the only thing to do in order to settle the question once and for all is to make an actual trial of a De Laval side by side with any other cream separator on your own farm, and see for yourself which machine is best constructed and does the best work. Before you buy any cream separ ator ask the De Laval agent to let you try out a De Laval. You can try any other machine you like along side of it and then judge for yourself which is the best for you to buy. HICKORY, IN. C.
