We note that the News men tions Mr. Elliott's name in con nection with the State legis a ture. We agree with the News as to all the good qualities as cribed to Mr. Elliott. He is a man of the right calibre, has done his town and county splen did service. He is not identified with any faction or fend and has nothing but good'will for all Catawba Democrats. Now according to custom it will be Catawba's time to name the State Senator next year and we submit that no better man for this place than Mr. Elliott could be found. We do not know that Mr. Elliott desires either place or thac he would accept but we do believe that he is the right man for State Senator and we propose his name for that po sition. Statue of Rate Question. In the case of agent Green of Raleigh & Southern Ry. the state has scored a dicided vic tory. Mr. Green paid a small fine and resigned his position. The Southern was fined $30,000 and appealed; but not to Judge Pritchard. In the Asheville case the men convicted in a state court for violating a state law and sentenced by a state judge, have been taken from the cus tody of the state officer under whom they were serving their sentence and released on habeas corpus by Judge Pritchard, a federal official. In the force of a statute de claring no injunction shall issue to arrest the operation of the state law, a judge of the United States has enjoined the opera tion of state law. That these men who have been taken from the lawful authori ties will be promptly seized and and returned to the proper offi cers may well be believed. The Southern Railway in its insolence and contempt for the public should be taught a lesson that they will never forget. Carrie. National is expected to visit Hickory ane day this week. Carrie does not herald her ap proach, hut comes as a thief in ki the night and with hatchet and tongue makes things. lively and soon advertises herself. Why do cigarette smokers smell S3 bad? is the question en gaging *the attention of the Statesville Landmark and the Charlotte Observer. The Land mark is at a lose to know just why, but the Observer says that is plain; the foul stuff which lodges in the stem of the pipe and in the stub of the cigar lodges in the smoker him self when he smokes the ciga rette hence the odor which re sembles that of eggs unfit for use. Yes, the cigarette smoker smell bad and that may be the reason. • 1 While the electric and wind storm accompanied by a heavy rain was passing over the city Wednesday lightning struck the telephone wire in frontof Mr. W. H. Shirer's on College St., splitting one of the arms on one of the poles, knocking off sever al insulators and tilling the street - with wire. Trees or Weeds It makes the heart sad to thirk that in our fair Southland, where { birds and trees still flourish as in ] 'no othef section of the country, ( there prevails the most ruthless , spirit of destruction. Song birds and trees are types of nature's ( i kindest provision far man's comr , fart and enjoyment Man, es- , pecially organized communities ♦, of men should provide the strict- , est protection for both. The ( writer notes the street force of our enterprising little city re moving some fine trees in the wide space adjoining Mr. Rid dle's home. No town or city in the South can afford to dtspurse with its shade trees. Let the city authorities and owners of property go slow On tree cutting and get a little more >usy in the more laudable task if ridding our residence streets and gardens of noxious, germ breeding weeds, and some of the lideous music bv night of mer ry-go-rounds. John $, Moody. Claremont College. At a meeting of the trustees of Jlaremont College held Monday if this week Rev. Dr, Puttera jf Salisbury and Rev. Prof. Kel ler, of Mt. Pleasant, were elect ed as President and Dean of this school and wi!J open the school jn Sept. 17, 1907. The trustees will do much work on the buildings and are now making the needechmprove •nents. The building will be painted, the sewerage connected »vith the main of the town, a new kitchen will be built, the heating of the building improv ed, the rooms of the budding ff be retouched, new furniture and instruments placed in the wilding, and in short everything will be placed in readiness to re ceive students. But as the success of a schoo nust in the end depend upon the faculty an effort will be made to have a faculty in every respect competent to fill the positions to which they are called and Hick ory will now have a school which will meet the demands of the town. Claremont has always held a warm place in the hearts of the Hickory people and it will be a pleasure to know that it is now to be placed upon a permanent basis. It deserves a good large patronage from the town and we believe that it will get it One of our most delightful oc casions of the year was the meet ing with the Editors at the Pres> Association at Morehead City last week. A large attendance of newspaper men and ladies were there, and the entire meeting was enjoyed immensely. The business features of the meeting were of a high order and instruc tive. Considering the grand op portunity offered by that noted place the pleasure of the meet ing was never surpassed. We nay-have more to say about this in next issue.

( Hickory has recently enjoyed some exciting games of base ball played between the Hickory and I other visiting teams. Our peo are enthusiastic over these games, but some things have oc curred which mar to the pleas ureof these games ana it is to 1 this feature of the games that we t wish to call attention to. If the > games are to be maintained up on the high plane set by those , who inaugurated them then cer taia thing must be eliminated i from them. It is said by some that betting is not uncommon among the crowds attending these games; that unfair advan tages are often taken. These things ought not so to be.
