"We have heard much about an auditorium in Raleigh, but Raleigh needs a hotel worse than it needs an auditorium. More leave Raleigh on the midnight train in order to get to a hotel.' —Catawba Countv News. Hickory knows how to sympr thize with Raleigh. The travel ing public consider themselves fortunate to catch a midnight train from Hickory, some even leave in hacks. Graded School Opens. The graded school opened Mon day morning with a large num ber of children present. Out of the 440 not a few were thinking of what a good time thev have had this summer and now they have to study, study nothing but study. More than one, no doubt, had begun to plan how they might skip school the following day in order to go fishing or play a game of ball. Many a sly glance was cast at the new su perintendent to size up his whip ping arm. The school faculty is composed of the following teachers: First Gredt-Miss Ada Schenck Hickory, N. C. Second Grade Miss Annie Duke, Newton, N. C. Third Grade —Miss Edna Hill, Asheboro, N. C. Fourth Grade—Miss Margaret McAllister, Mount Pleasant, N. C. Firth Grade Miss Jennie Howard, Mooresville, N. C. Sixth Grade—Miss Lela Milier, Hickory, N. C. Seventh Grade—Mr. A. P. Whisenhunt, Hickory, N. C. Eighth Grade—Miss Flora Harding, Mocksville, N. C. Ninth Grade—Mr- Charles M. Staley. A Delightful Evening Few more delightful occasions have been observed in Hickory than the one given by the United Helpers of the Presbyterian church at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Abernethy on Shuford Avenue on the night of Sept. 2nd. The occasion was a reception giuen by the church to Mr. Squires, the young man who has been supplying the pul pit of that church during the summer months. The large lawn of Mr. Abernethy's was lighted by Japanese lanterns ar tistically arranged the effect of Which was most pleasing. The guests were received by Mrs. Ab ernethy assisted bv Mrs. Belle Ramsay. Refreshments were served at different places on the lawn and a musical programme was rendered within the house. Mr, Squires returns to the Seminary where he will complete his course the coming year. While he has been in our town he has greatly endeared himself to our people and especially the congre gation of the Presbyterian church. He is a young man of mueh promise and leaves with the best wishes and the prayers of a devoted people. The thought of giving him a reception before he leaves was a happy one and the plan was most successfully executed by the ladies of the church. FMmKIMrtYCORB Makts Kldoayc and BiaMtr Right To the Queen of the Moun tains There will be an excursion from Yorkvilie, S. C., to the beautiful mountain city of Edge mcnt, N. C., on the 14th of this month. H. B. Lingle & Co. will have charge of the train, and their name alone is a sufficient guaranttee of perfect order and no lady or child need fear taking this trio from fear of a borster ous crowd. Special agents will be on the tram and they will have instructions to prevent any drinking. There will be a jp freshment car attached to the train. *The fair from Hickorv is only $1.25 and every indication points to a large number who will take opportunity of this ex tremely low rate and visit this mountain city. Lenoir College has the Best Opening in Its History. So many students were here for the opening exercises of Le loir College that the chapel was unable to seat the audience and the auditorium had to be used. Never before has the college had so many students, and more are arriving on every train. The new dormitory was not built any too soon, as every room in the entire college will be used in or der to accommodate the stcdents. "Holy! Holy! Holy!" was sung by the student body. After the reading of the one hundred and twentv-first Psalm bv Rev. Mil ler, Rev. W. A. Deaton led n prayer. Then came the address of wel come. Prof. R. L. Fritz wel comed the students in behalf of the college; W. A. Deaton in the behalf of Hickory, and Rev. Mil ler in the behalf of Highland. Mr. Propst followed with some good advice. He urged the young men and women to aim high in life and to constantly put forth every effort to reach that goal. The following changes have been made in the faculty":" Prof. Randolf, Misses Sawyer and Woode will take the chairs va cated by the resignations of Prof. Little, Misses Little and Bray. The primary department will be in the charge of Mr. Hard man, of Ohio. The student body was pained to learn that the pop ular art teacher, Miss Hennant, was unable to be present on ac count of serious illness in htr home. Messrs. Robt. Glenn and Pearl Rhyne who were members of last year's graduating class were present for the opening exer cises. A Modified Military System. In a high gride boy's school, the finest system of discipline is one which combines the neat ness, order, punctuality, obedi ence, square shoulders, active gait, and expaned chest of the military system and discards un due formality, cruel penalties and the spirit of fight, in place of which evils, personal intimacy, affection, peace and christian love are substituted. * This is the "Modified Military System" which has has been a doptedat the B ; ngham School, near Mebane, N. C., for the ses sion of 1907-08. An attractive feature of the system at Bing ham is the beautiful tailor-made uniform of best quality, like thst used at West Point. Because it is the handsomest and most en during, it is the cheapest cloth ing made. The beautifully illustrated cat alogue telling all about this fa mous school, can be had without ccst by a postal card request, ad dressed to Preston Lewis Gray, B. L., Principal,Bingham School, Mebane, N. C. The hour for the evening ser vices Is 7:80 during the months of September and October.

What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedv, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water end scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up manv times during the night. The mild and • the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root jis soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis !tr essing cases. If you need a medicine ' you should have the best. Sold by drug , gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. I You may have a sample bottle and a I book that tells all j it, both sent free I lr/ mail.
