some distance from - the Ivey Cotton
Mill, in West Hickory. She was cross

DISEASED EYE REMOVED.
Mr. D. H. Anderson Successfully Oper
ated on Yesterday.
Mr. D. H. Anderson was operated on
at Dr. A. M. Whisnant's hospital yes
terday afternoon. He passed through
the trying ordeal splendidly and was
reported as being in good shape to
day. For some months past Mr. Ander
son's left eye had been giving him a
great deal of trouble. The right eye,
through sympathy, became diseased
and it was thought best to take out
the left, in order to save the right
eye. This was successfully done yes
terday, and the patient is rapidly re
covering. The many friends of Mr. Anderson
in Charlotte and elsewhere, will learn
with sorrow of his trouble, but will be
happy to know that he is gettiuc

RUTHERFORD COLLEGE.
School Has 233 Pupils Very Success
ful Year Program.
Special to The News.
Rutherford Colege, April 9. If you
will give me a short space in your pa
per, I will say a few words for Ruther
ford College.
You all know where the college is
situated, so I will not give any infor
mation. We have a good school and
it is said to be doing better work this
Spring than has ever been done under
the management of the church. Prof.
D. L. Thompson is our president, and
with his three assistants have shown
themselves to be men of talent. ' By
their management they have made this
secondary school one of the leading
secondary schools of the State. Boys of
Mecklenburg this is the place for you
to prepare yourself for ihgher colleges
and the ilace to obtain an education
that will help you to battl ewith the
obstacles of life.
There is being a great deal of work
done on the campus this Spring, such
as making new walks, setting out more
shade trees and the planting of flowers.
We are going to have our campus
shining like a star by commencement,
that is when all the flowers get in
bloom. We have a real pretty campus
and I can say if it was worked more
we would have one of the prettiest in
the State.
Another thing about our college is
that it is one of the best in the State.
It is one of the healthiest places in our
State, and we have waters cf all kinds
up here ; water that is sent to different
parts of the State to those that are dis
eased because of the minerals that are
in it. Now, boys, of you want to edu
cate your mind and get fleshy, come to
Rutherford College.
The annual debates of. the Newton
ian, Platonis and Victorian Literary
Socities were held the first three Fri
day nights in March. They were quite
a success. They are held annually tc
show the public what they are doing
in literary work. They were interesting
to the most learned, and were enjoyed
by all who were present. All who heard
these debates have to acknowledge
that our North Carolina boys are com
ing to the front in education and lit
erary work.
We have two society halls here, and
I heard a man say not long ago that
they were as good as some halls of
our leading colleges of the State. We
have them well furnished and very at
tractive. "
The commencement program will be
very interesting this year. I will give
it to you, and if you want to see what
we are doing just attend commence
ment on May 22.
At 11 a. m.. the annual sermon by
Rev. G .T.Itowe. S. T..D., of Ashe-
vilie, N. C. ... ,,
In the afternoon at 3 o clock, the
declaration contest by J. O. Erwin W.
B West, C. C. Beam, H. C. Smith, S.
C. Nixon and R- S. Beam.
At 8 p. m.. the debaters contest,
by. C. B. West, O. K. Bennett, A. P.
Rfltledee and C. L., Eaker.
On the 23rd. at li a. m.. wil be the
anSuara'ddress by John G -9
M. A., of Wofford College, Spartan
blAt'sSC'rn.. the annual recital given
by the girls.
the shifting engine. The engineer
blew his whistle, slowed down and
thought the poor woman had had time
enough to clear the track. But her
dress had become entangled with the
wheels and she was struck on the
head, which vas nearly severed
through the upper part. Death was
instantaneous. She leaves a husband
and several children.
Ccming as a great shock to her
friends, the death of Mrs. Fannie
Brims was the passing of one who be
longed to the old era in Hickory. The
late 'Squire J. H. Bruns was a leading
citizen in the Hickory of twenty years
ago. and the writer well remembers
his jovial, kindly face. He was one of
the kindest of men, and he and his
wife, so suddenly removed from those
who loved her were ever ready to aid
those in affliction and trouble.
The Water Works Company will ex
tend their lines along several lines
this spring from which petitions have
come before the Board of Aldermen.
Link and Worth streets are to have
the water privileges among others . A
great deal cf building is being done.
Activity along all lines of 'business is
very marked. The late spring has
thrown all work behind somewhat, and
spring goods are being less displayed
than usual.
The ladies of the German Reformed
Church are to have an entertainment
shortly for the benefit of the new
building they propose to erect.
The committee on the free library
are looking out for a proper site for
the library and reading room. It is
hoped to have these in operation in
the course of a month.
The -Teachers' Training Schcol at
Claremont is now in operation. Mrs.
D. W. Read will go to Richmond in
June to give lessons in art teaching to
the teachers of the schools there gath
ered, some 400 in number.
