FOB AUDITOR
Yv'ilkesboro, N. C, March 10.
Dear Sir: At a meeting of the
democratic members of the bar of
Wilkes county, convened on Wed
nesday, Feb. LSth, 190S, the qua'.i.'i
cations of our fellow countryman,
Hon. Frank D. Hackett, for the office
of State Auditor, were considered
and reviewed, whereupon it was
unanimously resolved:
1. That we present the name of
Hon. Frank D. Hackett of Wilkes
county to the approaching democratic
state convention for nomination for
the office of state auditor of North
Carolina, and that we put forth every
effort to secure the favorable r jcog
nition of our worthy friend and fe!
low countryman.
2. That Mr. Hackett's long experi
ence as an accountant and book
keeper, his ability as a lawyer of lb
years experience and practice, and
his experience for eight years as
clerk and principal clerk of the houe
of representatives in our state legis
lature, and his wide acquaintance
with men and public affairs eminent
ly qualify him for the office named,
and we unhesitatingly declare ih:.t
his nomination and election as state
auditor, will insure to the state a
servant worthy in all respects of the
trusts involved in this high office.
3. That Mr. Hackett's services at.
worker ami wise counsellor in ihe
democratic party, amply jusr'.i'y
the claims of his friends, that h? i?
entitled to recognition at this time.
We take this action as his friends
and well-wishers of Wilkes county,
in order that the attention of the
democrats of the entire state may be
favorably directed to Mr. Hackett, to
the end that his candidacy may be
received throughout the state with
that confidence which it deserves.

ARTIFICIAL LEG FOR DOG
TWO PAIR, NOT THREE.
Error in an Advertisement Pl3ys
Havoc.
Like the serpent creeping into
Eden to lay the foundation for future
troubles, a typographical error insinu
ated its detested presence into the
handsome full page advertisement of
Efird's Department Store in Satur
day's News and from the moment of
its appearance the serene happiness
of the advertising department has
been marred by lottd voices, accusa
tions, denials, gnashing of teeth and
much mental anguish. Now it is
well known to the unhappy person
whose duty it is to fix the responsi
bilitv for an error upon the trembling
offender, and then an dthere soil the
palatial furnishings of his sanctum
with his fresh warm blood, that the
origin of a typographical error is al
ways shrouded in deep, dark, mys
tery, the unravelling of which is
more difficult than establishing the
ancestry of a parriah dog. The copy
writer claims that it lies between the
proof-reader and the compositor.
These gentlemen with an air of in
jured innocence claim that some one
else lies, and lest the blame inadver
tantly fall upon an innocent one, and
a career that might some day change
the destiny of a nation be blotted out
on the very threshold of life, the
guilty one is permitted to go forth
punished only by his guilty con
science. The error refered to above is as
follows: In advertising a special in
50 cent real lisle thread gauze hose
at 23 cents a pair or two pairs for
45 cents, the advertisement was made
to read 3 pair 4Gc." which was an
error almost too palpable to need
explanation. Following is a corrected
version of the advertisement: i
5Cc Real Lisle Thread Gauze Hose,
23c.
Police Mascot Will Have New Leather
Stump.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
A dog with a leatner leg may seem
like a "story from the Never, Never
Land. Cut that is just what Veteri
nary Roberts proposes to rig up on
"Hash," the mascot of the police sta
tion. The veterinary is an expert in treat
ing dogs, and he says that he will
make a false leg and put in on "Hash,"
so that the dog will be able to fool
his closest canine friends.
"Hash" was run down and his leg
so badly crushed that it was necessary
to amputate it: Dr. Roberts perform
ed the operation without administering
an esthetic. "Hash," with the fortitude
of a stoic, lay perfectly quiet while the
bones were sawed off.
After the operation was completed
the leg was bandaged and a solution
prepared which Policeman Peffer
pours on the leg every few hours.
Abut 11 o'clock last night "Hash" was
worried because there was no one to
give him the medicine and the officer
was surprised to have his pet tugging
at his trouser's leg. The animal had
hobbled on three legs several blocks
from Ihe station, where he hunted up
the policeman on his beat.
For hours the dumb animal lies with
his head between his fore legs half
asleep enduring the agony of the am
putated leg. When those who know
him best speak kindly he does manage
to wag his tail feebly in recognition of
the friendship.
Veterinary Roberts proposes, as soon
as the injury will permit, to attach a
leather leg to the stiTb, so that his pa
tient will be able to run and scamper
about with his dog chums as though
he had all four of his "pins." Every
body at the station is looking forward
to the time when the mascot will be
out of his misery.
