Mr. McCorkle's Pension. The latest Republican argu ment advanced against the can " didacy of Mr. C. M. McCorkl for clerk of the court is that Mr. McCorkle draws a pension for rheumatism contracted during the Spanish-American war. We don't know whether or not Mr. McCorkle really does draw a pension. 'lf it was important to know, we certainly should want better authority than any hither to advanced to support this very j grave (?) charge (?) But sup pose he does draw a pension? That proves that when this coun try was at war with Spain Mr. McCorkle said to his country: "Here is my life. Take it and if necessary, let it be sacrificed for our own land and human freedom." If his opponent had volunteered to defeat his coun try against a foreign foe and to deliver stricken Cuba from Span ish cruelty and oppression would that be set down to his discredit. Mr. McCorkle's opponent, like many of the rest of us, did not, as we are informed, go to the war. It is nothing against him that he did not. But to make Mr. McCorkle's military service a source of disadvantage is man ifesting a partisan spirit too rapid to deserve respect. If his opponent did not offer his ser vice to the government in the hour of its need add that fact is not to his predjudice, then the fact that Mr. McCorkle did offer his service is not to be taken to his predjudice. Again if Mr. McCorkle receives a pension, it proves that during his service, he bore himself like a soldier and a gentleman; that he holds an honorable discharge from the government. We sub mit that this is a record of which Catawba county need not be ashamed any more than Dav idson county would have had cause to feel ashamed of Mr. Mc- Corkle's opponent if the former gentleman held an honorable dis charge for service rendered the country in time of war. We presume that the pension, there is one, eventually finds its way into the pockets of Catawba county people instead of being sent up North never to return, like million of dollars that the South pays every year for other federal pensions. And if Mr. McCorkle contrated disease while undergoing the hardships of the fervice, nobody but a partisan run around for decent arguments would see anything improper in h's accepting the pension which the law fgrants. Those whc made the law, had too much in telligence to require that a mar should be bed-ridden and penni less before becoming entitled t a pension. The pension is giver him because he had the courag* to take up arms for the govern ment and sustained physicrl in jury in the service. For thir teen dollars a month and clothes and rations he consents to be come a mark for the enemies bullets, if that is required. The United States' Govern ment holds that when he re turns home, though he may l» able to earn a living, yet if h« has been wounded or become di seased, he is entitled to a pen sion. There is of course provisioi made for total disability. Mr. McCorkle is fortunate in having such an attack made on him. It brings to the front more forcibly than ever his courage and pa triotism. No matter whether lie draws a pension or not, he wili be helped* not hurt in his can didacy by criticisms from those Who took good care not to don their country's uniform or place themselves where, by any possi bility, they might hear the roar of Spanish cannon. "Mr. H. 'Adams' Ilarious." The chairman of the Republi can State Executive Committee seems to follow the advice of Bickens' famous character: "Be 'ilarious." Mr. Adams has recently given out an interview in which he claims the eighth and the tenth congressional districts "for sure" and opines that there is a fight ing chance in the fifth and the ninth. As to the eighth, we can imag ine with what joy the chairman whom Blackburn caused to v .be defeated-4n Adams* own county, township, city, ward and pre cinct wo*ld hail a second victory won by the "Drummer Boy" at I the polls. In the tenth the tip is Crawford by two thousand majority. The tenth, with the exception of Mitchell, Madison, Yancy, is made of the counties that formerly constituted the >ld ninth district. In 1895 Mitchell was added to the ninth to help out Richmoad Pearson who had escaped defeat by a narrow majority of less than 200. When the tenth dis trict was formed in 1901, both Mitchell, Madison and Yancy be came a part-of it. Bearing these facts in mind, the Congression al vote in the old ninth and the tenth since 1890 has been as fol lows: 1890 Crawford (Dem.) 1892 1894 Pearson (Rep.) 1896 1898 Crawford (Dem.) 1900 MoojJy (Rep.) 1902 Gudger (Dem.) 1904 Thus it appears that in eight last congressional elections the district has gone Democratic five times and Cepublican three times In 1894, the great fusion year, Pearson's majority was less than three hundred. In 1896, Mitchell had been added to the district and Pearson defeated Adams by, approximately, 1000 majority. The next contest resulted in a victory for Crawford, who over came Mitchell's heavy Republi can vote and won out by a ma jority approaching three hun dred. Crawford, however, was unseated—an act of such glar ing injustice that the Republi cans dared not re-nominate Pear son who was pensioned off and sent to Persia. Moody won over Crawford by a majority ap proaching 2,000, this being the amendment year and the Demo crats having spent their effortf at the August election. The congressional reapportionment took place in 1900. North Caro lina gained one congressman and Mitchell, Madison and Yancy ' were made part of the ninth dis trict. In 1902, though there was a bitter factional fight among the Democrats and many doubt ed whether Gudger had been legally nominated, the latter de feated Moody who was backtd by the whole national aiming tration's influence. In 1904 the district again went Democratic, having about 1000 majority over vi rt. These figures afford scant en couragement to the Republicans. The fifth elected W. W. Kitchin. Democrat, in 1896, the year oi the fusion land-slide and ha gone Democratic ever since b\ majorities varving from 5000 t« 10,000. The new ninth has bee: , I Democratic overwhelmingly eve; since its creation. Possibly Rob erts who is said to be popular in the mountain counties may re duce the majority but that is the utmost that can happen. Ordi narily, the eight would seem to hold out promise to the Republi cans.' In eight congressional elections it has gone Republi can five times, Biackbum having won twice; and Linney, during fusion days, was elected in 1894- 96-98 But the teriffic was made on Blackburn by his own party renders his defeat quite probable. That Mr. Adams can gather consolation from such a situation marks him as a man of "great expectations." Mr. "H 'Adams is 'ilarious." First Services in New Church. For the first time since the building was finished, regular services were held in the new Presbyterian church Sunday morning, Rev. C. W. Trawick having returned from his vacation Thursday night preceding. There were no ser vices in the Reformed church, and that congregation worshiyped with the Pres byterians, filling the church until many seats had to be brought in from the Sunday school room. Some who re member old days in Hickory thought of the times when Presbyterians and Reformed people worshipped together, both before the former had any church building and when the latter lost their church. It was a happy day for those who have worked so faithfully during the past months to build a house unto the Lord. Rev. Mr Trawick's selec tion of the first verse of the 22nd Psalm was a most happy one, and he stated that he selected it because he thought that it expressed the feelings of every one of the congregation. David said, "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." This is the language of every true be liever, of every man whose heart is right with the Lord. We rejoice to hold sweet communion with those whom we love; but we loathe the thought of conversing and dwelling to gether with those whose minds are al ien from us, whose desires and thoughts are not as ours are. The man who loves the Lord and follows after him in true obedience, will ever look to the services of his house as his sweetest joy. Happy is that man. In collu ding an able sermon, the pastor took occasion to speak of the labors, surifi ces and efforts put forth by the congre nation, congratulated them upon the happy result, and earnestly thanked them for their kindness to him and his, and particularly for'the vacation recent ly eqtended. The new churqji is one of which the congregation may well be proud, built of the native granite, constructed with every advantage of up-tu-date meth- well iit, above all, well ventilated, the furnishings, finishings, etc., in per fect harmony and excellent taste, the committees in charge of the different branches of work deserve the hearty thanks of the congregation for their work. The Ladies' parlor is especially neat, and will be found invaluable 1 to the different societies of church work. The Sunday school room is commodi ous and finely planned. We humbly trust thfit the blessings of Him who dwelleth not in temples made with hands,but who knows even the smallest sacrifice His people have made to build a place where they gather together in His name, nwv be with them. Mrs. Shuford Abernethy died at her home at Bridgewater Tuesday and the body was brought here Wednesday for burial. Pianos, Organs.
