Gbe Dtckors Democrat Published Every Thursday by W. K. HOLBROOK, EDITOE AND PROP Entered at the Post Office at Hickory as second class matter. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year Cash In Advance fi.oc Six Months, " " s? Three Months " " 2 5 Special rates given to long term ad vertising. THURSDAY SEPT. 12. 1907. ——— mmmmmmmmmm —— The Rate Question Again. The claim is put forth for the present rate law that it has ac complished numerous reforms ir the matter of handling or rathei of mishandling freight. Whatever the results may be in general it is certain that North Carolina has derived little or no benefit from the law. The towns in this State continue to be dis criminated against grossly in favor of competitive points ir Virginia and elsewhere. Nota bly in the case of Hickory this discrimination is rank and with out shadow of justification. That the railroads will never change the rate to our advan tage voluntarily is as certain a? anything can be. Nothing short of persistent and united effort will accomplish the needed change. Freight rates shape and govern the industrial life of a town. Again we call attention to this all important issue. Are our business men content to be rob bed under the name of freight charges? Will they allow Hickory's fu ture to be sacrificed? Meeting of the County Com missioners. On Sept. 2nd, the county com missioners met with the follow ing members present: I. A. Yount, J. M. Shuford, Q. M. Smith, G. S. Wilfong and Sam uel xuiner. Messrs. I. A. Yount and G. S. Wilfong were appointed a com mittee to investigate the matter of building a bridge near Maiden. Mr. W. B. Ramsay and others presented a petition asking per mission to operate a toll bridge across Catawba river on the lands of Dr. Ramsay and Mr. Joe Cornelius. Action on the peti tion was postponed until the Oc tober meeting and publication of the petition was ordered. The overseers to cut the new road from the Plateau roller mill to A. M. Propst, and from John Fry's to Dolph Yount's made their reports and discharg ed. The petition presented by citi zens of Hickory township asking for new road is granted if no damage is claimed. The sheriff was requested to summon W. C. Yount, W. H. Propst and Mark Barger to compose jury to lay off same. Petitions for new road in Jacob Fork township and a new road and bridge at Sherrill's Ford were presented. Sheriff D. M. Boyd filed his tax bonds for the sum of thirty two thousand dollars. The fol lowing gentlemen signed his bond: Messrs. R. B. Freeze, R. B. Knox, G. A. Warlick, John P. Yount, Geo. McCorkle, A. M. Wilson, J. E. Fry, J. W. Killian, S. L. Rhyne, W. F. Reader, J. F.

The pro ceeds of the supper were added to a fund that is being raised for * racing wagon. The boys are letermined to bring at least one of the prizes back from the next mnual convention of the State iremen and to do this it is nec essary to t>uy a light racing wagon for which they are rapid ly raising funds. The cream and cake for the supper were furnished by the friends of the firemen. A large number of young people and not a few grandpas and grandmas were present and the neat little sum of forty eight dollars was taken in. Death of Mrs. Anderson Mrs. Anderson, of Atlanta, daughter of the late Dr. R. B. Baker, died in that city Saturday night and was buried in Hickory Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Anderson had numerous friends and acquaintances in ■ Hickory who were pained to hear of her death. Her father for a long number of years was a suc cessful physician of this place and practiced his profession up to a few days of his death. Mrs. Baker, whTfor a number of years made her home with her daughter, and Mr. Anderson ire the only living members of her immediate family. The aged mother and the grief stricken husband have the sympathy of the entire town. St. Matthews Meeting A large number of Hickory people attended the annual meet ing at St Matthews camp ground near Maiden on last Sunday.This is the annual gathering of the Reformed people in this and Lin cpln counties and the attendance this ysar was large, the crowd being estimated at three thous and. The place is noted for the good order and the spirit of de votion which prevades the place. There were four services Sun day, the eleven o'clock service being communion. The sermon on this occasion was preached by Rev. Dr. Murphy of Hickory and he has never failed to attend for the last twenty-two years. The New Freight Depot. The new freight depot is near ng completion and it certainly if a great improvement upon the shack that the business men of Hickory were formerly compell ed to put up with. The depot proper is about one hundred and fifty feet long and has & width of about forty feet. The shed is over four hundred fee' long and twelve cars or more can be plrced on each side, tnus mak ing in all over twenty-four cars that can be unloaded or trans ferred at the same time. The office room is large, so the agent can stretch his legs without be ing in fear of kicking some clerk's corns on the other side of the room. The depot is suffi ciently large to handle the busi ness of Hickory for a number of years, and the citizens have no kick to make concerning tha freight accommodations. It is rumored that a force of hands will be here soon and move the passenger depot back about eight feet some time next week.

Fry Hickory, N. C. Dear Sir: What will it cost to sow ten acres half wheat and half daisy mixed? and what'll the crop be worth? We don't know what daisy seed costs, nor how bulky it is; we suspect half wheat and half daisy would make a big crop of daisies, and last a long time; the wheat might be'short. The parable throws some light on the cost of a paint half white wash. Whitewash, mixed half and-half with paint, is all-paint in look and feel; indeed nine tenths of the "paint" in the stores is part whitewash; some half, some more, some less. . Paint has to be spread with the brush, the surface prepared, the laddders scaffolds pulleys and ropes arranged and moved, there's a great deal of labsr in putting paint on; .it costs $2 to $4 a gallon to do it. > What does it cost to paint whitewash? Just the same. Half whitewash? Just the same. It doesn't seem worth while, for the whitewash does harm, not good. Will the paint hold the white wash fast? or_ the whitewash loosen th#» paint? Becter paint pure paint, the least-gallons paint, the least money paint, Devoe. Yours truly 30 F W DIEVOE & Co P. S. F. B. Ingold sells our paint Mr. and Mrs. E. V.

What To So. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, 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 and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following nse of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of boing compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
