No doubt President Finley ob tained an injunction against the new rate law to prove his sincer ity in advocating a better under standing between the rail roads and the people. Senator Beverage of Indiana is speculating about what issue the Rupublican party should use to carry the country. If they fol low their usual costom, they will use an issue of two dollar bills, j Marion Butler is quoted as say ing that the last legislature was entirely too radical. As a matter of fact there is every reason to believe that he objects to the last legislature chiefly because it Was not a radical legislation. The President has officially denied that in referring to the flow of the Exposition oratory he said "Cut it out or cut it short" which proves that whatever his faults, he is too honest to claim credit for neutorious deeds which he he never performed. An exchange remarks that there is no telling how many of fice seekers tnere are in Ohio. While in its literal sense, still there should be comparatively little difficulty in ascertaining the the size of the Republican vote in Ohio at the last election. The principal witness of the Mayor Haywood trial is named Orchard. He confesses to having committed eighteen murders, several burglaries and incidently admits that he stole a sheep. In view of those facts the testimony of Orchard may be properly cal led a peach That was a handsome tribute which Justice Brewer paid North Carolina in his address before the Lake Mohonk conference when in carefully selected words he commended the state for the prompt manner in which she set tled the South Dakota Bond case. The credit of the state as well as the credit of the individual should be guarded with jealous care. In the selection of Mr. Henry B. Varner of the. Davidson Dis patch as President of the Na tional Editorial Association, the state of North Carolina and the Press have been honored. Mr. Varner is an example of what pluck and energy can do. Raised on [the farm his opportunities were not different from those with which the ordinary farm boy is confronted. Began life as a fruit tree agent, made a little money, bought the Dispatch and by his energy has succeeded in making it one of the best week lies in the state. Governor Hughes of New York has voted the Two-Cent Fare Bill. The legislature of that state had fixed the maxi mum rate on roads operating more than one hundred and fifty miles of track a maximumrate of two cents a mile. This may mean that the tide in railroad regulation is changing. A few years ago the question was be tween regulation, or no regula tion, but the question is changed and it is not a iquestion now of regulation, but one of just regu lation. The rate has been fixed, in many states and among them our own state, and the legality of this bill is soon to be tested. Let justice be done to all. Every body come to Hickory the 4th. The North Carolina Press As sociation will hold its annual meeting- at Morehead City July 17 and 18. A most enjoyable programme has been prepared and the drivers of the quill nev er fail to have a good time. Next Monday the new Board of Education will be inducted in to office and among the duties devolving upon that board will be the selecting of a county su perintendent of public instruc tion. This is a most important office and the Board is charged with no light duty in making that selection. If different sec tions of the county were to be considered, Hickory could have just claims which should be con sidered. She does much for the county and receives little recog nition in the way of being per mitted to partake of the fodder which should go to the horse that pulls the plow. Of course a Democrat will be selected, but we are not certain that even pol itics, religion or location should have one thing to do with it. The very foundation of our gov ernment rests upon the intelli gent citizenship and this educa tion must be received in the pub lic schools of the land. Section al strife, religious affiliation or political association should not be made a factor in the educational system of our county. A man who is competent should be se lected, he should be a man who loves teaching and is enthusias ti« in his work, he should be able to inspire teachers to take an in terest in teaching, he should be some one who would give his en tire time to the duties of the of fice and not run it as a side issue to some other business. Will the board be able to find the man? We hope so. It might be worthy of note that the Seaboard railroad in ad vertising points of interest to which that road will sell tickets good for spending Sunday makes Hickory one of the prominent points. It is well it is so for there are few places where the tired business man can come and spend Sunday more restful than in our city. Here he can find a cool atmosphere that will enable him to sleep comfortable during the night. If he would attend worship we have numerous churches manned by strong imfen and choirs of good tingers. There is only one thing lacking from making Hickory a most desirable place for the business man to come and spend Sunday. It is the lack of hotel accommodations. The hotels which we have are good and are conducted by most excellent people, but they are not sufficient to accommodate the people and just now Hickory is suffering greatly because we have no hotel. This is a matter for the citizens of Hickory to consider. If terms cannot be made for the site of the old Hick ory Inn, perhaps a location might be found elsewhere. Since the changes are being made on the railroad it is a question if that would be the best site. Good lo cations can be secured and there are many persons who believe that a hotel located some where on the North of the railroad,say, on Shufurd Avenue, will be much more desirable than one located on the South of the railroad. The principal business houses are North of the rosd, our churches are North of the road, our grad ed school and two of our colleges are on this side of the road, the largest number of handsome res idences are here and why not lo cate the hotel in tnis part of the town. We lay this matter be fore the town council and th« Board of Trade and all citizens interested in the development of our town. Let us have a hotel commensurate with the dignity of the town in which we live. What say you? Chairman Adams has gotten an appointment for our towns man Mr. C. F. Blalock as special agent in the internal revenue service. GRAND CELEBRATION * At Hickory July • 4th. Hickory Invites All Who Will Help Her Celebrate the Glori ous Fourth.

The lastest among the trusts i 3 said to be one formed at Mar seilles at the opening of the month of June when the unfor tunates of all classes formed a syndicate for the common feood. The blind, lame, deaf and dumb others joined hands and will wage a common warfare for the benefit of their class. The meet ing is said to have opened with a brilliant speech by a deaf mute who stood on a bench to be seen. The customary resolutions were offered and the neccessary steps taken. An effort will be made to prevent foreign tramps entering their territory. Lastly the hope is held out for an international union of beggers. Begging is their business and why should thev not organize? Great is the trust. HONir TO LOAN ON REAL ESTATE IN ANY AMOUNT FROM FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS LP.
