ROBERTS SICK.
There was no congressional
joint discussion here on Wednes
day as the Republican candidate,
Dr. Frank Roberts, telegraphec
was sicl
with tonsilitis Congressmen
Webb promptly put in his ap
pearance and met the folks wit!
his usual friendly greeting. Foi
a part of the time he was the
guest of the Hickory Club where
a number of the local Democrat
ic leaders called on him. Mr.
Webb looks and is «in fim
spirits over the profepects for the
coming election. Of course,
there is not the slightest possi
ble doubt about his success thi
situation in this district is ah
that could be desired and there
is no doubt that the Ninth will
roll up the usual big majority.
The sickness of Dr. Roberts
necessitated a postponement oi
the joint canvass, and Mr. Webb
left for Shelby on the 4 o'clock
train of the C. & N-W. The ap
pointments for Hickory and
Newton will be filled after the
remaining list. -of regular ap
pointments is completed.
A Comparison of War Records

eel as a reason why he should be
elected to the Senate over Mr.
Reinhardt. Let us see whether
the experience of Mr. Williams
who' we are told has seen;
"men falling all around him"has
superior claims to his opponent.
Mr. Williams is the Republi-.
can candidate but can hope for
success only by Populist votes.
| The war for which he volunteer
e 1 was the war against the Fili
pinos. In 1900 the Populist, na
tional plat-form declared that it
was cruel and unjust to prose
cute such a contest against a
people who weae struggling to
be free. The Populist Party
took its stand on the ground that
one nation could not buy and an
other nation sell thejright to rule
a third nation. What were the
men whom Mr. Williams saw
"falling all about him" fighting
for? According to tne Populist
contention if they were Filipinos
they were fighting for freedom. |
If they were our own troops, ao- 1
cording to Populist teaching they
were prosecuting a war of for
eign conquest in which our gov
ernment ought not to have en
?Bged.
On the other hand Mr. Rein
lardt when only a sixteen year
)ld boy put on the Confederate
ind fought gallantly through
four years of a teriffic struggle
in comparison with which the
Philippine war was a mere skir
mish.
So even accepting Populist
Standards of comparison Mr.
Reinhardt has nothing to lose on
the war record.
THE candidate who is elected
Clerk of the Superior court
should not engage in any profes
sion or calling that is likely to
require his repeated absence
from his office. The people of
Catawba county want the official
WIWIU WIVJ V -T J_l
for which he is elected.
BUTLER will not fill his ap
pointment in Hickory, it seems.
That is a matter which the Dem
ocrats need to regret. The man
who while a Senator from North
Carolina and sworn to protect
her every interest, entered into
a secret agreement to prosecute
the South Dokota bond suit
against her would be likely to
help any cause that he opposed,
and hurt any cause that he fav
ored. v

Hickory Lutneran Church.
Gentlemen:
We want to donate some L. & Ml
Paint to your church whenever they
punt. •
The largest Methodist church in
Georgia expected to use 100 gallons of
the usual kind of paint, they onlv used
32 gallons L. & M. mixed with 24
gallons Linseed Oil.
It costs less to paint a house with
L. &M. than with other paint, be
cause painter mixes Linseeu Oil fresh
from the barrell at 60 cents a gallon
*ith L. & M., and doesn't pay $1.50
per gallon for Linseed Oil as done if
ready-for-use paint is used. Also be
cause the L. & M. Zinc hardens the
L. & M. White Lead and makes the
paint wear like iron.
Actual cost L. &M. about $1.20
per gallon.
