One Year Ca3h In Advance $ i.oo Si* Months, " " 5© Three Months " " 2 5 Special rates given to long term ad vertising. THURSDAY OCT. 17. 1907. % If Hickory can't get up a fair, how about a Teddy Bear show ? ASHEVILLE has gone dry, bu + the breezy, bracing climate there still retains its intovicating quali ties. IT IS hoped meddlesome per sons will not ask Mr. Taft what he had to drink at the banquet tendered him in Japan. Advice to the South A noted recently a certain prominent (?) financier of Balti more was writing to a business man in Charlotte assuring him that the action of North Carolina and other Southern States in re ducing passenger rates "disin clined" that distinguished finan cier to "invest any more money in the South" just now. The same letter is accompanied by various patronizing suggestions from the same eminent source as to how the South should conduct its business affairs. And what has Mr. Gill ever done for the South except to feather his own nest by wrecking the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad? Isn't Mr. Gill "just too cute for anything?" The South must submit to all the extortion the railroads choose to put on it; otherwise Mr. Gill will invest no more money here! Terrible thought! The prosperity of the South is threatened. Mr. Gill is about to dam-up the golden flood „ which he has been pouring into the South all these years. Mr. Gill is "disinclined to invest." Words can but faintly describe the terror that the news of the "disinclining" of Mr. Gill has inspired. From the broad wat ers of the Gulf of Mexico to the blue ripples of the Potomac comes a wail and the sound of a million teeth chattering together in ter ror is liice the noise of a rising gale. Call the legislature to gether in extra, and the Supreme court in extra ordinary, session. Let the Baptist State Conven tion convene, the Methodist con ference confer and the Presby terian Assembly assemble. Let us repeat the obnoxious laws that have "disinclined" Mr. Gill, to the end that he may knock out the bung-head of his barrell again and inundate us with prosperity once more. Let us exercise the constitutional right of petition and in the exer cise of the right of a free press, beseech the railroads to go on robbing us, if only Mr. Gill will get himself undisinclined. Sher man has marched to the sea, Sheridan raided the Shenandoah Valley and the Republican party controlled various Southern States in this blessed union. Cotton has gone down to four cents a pound, the boll weevil has bowled and the grass-hopped hopped on the grass. A flood flooded Galveston,an earth-quake made Charleston quake and a hurricane hurried Louisville. But none af these calamities are worthy to be compared with the disinclining of Mr. Gill. In bid ding the eminent financier hail and farewell, it is worthy of note that while most gills are made to operate in water, the native ele ment of this particular Gill is hot air.

All of this is iue the schoois, principally New ton Graded School and the local tax districts. The amounts due the townships are as folbws: Hickory $ 310.75 Bandys - " - 6-09 Newton - • 1,668.49 Catawba - 193.32 Clines - ,35.45 Caldwell's - 18.63 Jacob's Fork Township omrvd the school fund $7.24 which,with :417.83 in the treasury on abov" date, leaves a balance, as stated. It is the intention of the pres ant Board to pay all these obli gations, if close economy with out crippling the schools will ac complish it. We are compel ied ca run the schooh four months, and, personally, I wish to say chat at all times I shall stand for better schools, better school houses, and better pay for good teachers. As to who : s response for this condition of the school fund, I shall not express an opinior. Tha books and papers are open to the inspection of sny citizen of the county. This is a true statement of the as far as I have been able to obtain them. / Respectfully, A. C. LinK. Boone Items The County High School was established by the Board of Edu cation at Cove Creek Academy. The parties interested in bor ing for oil have begun operation on Cove Creek. The railroad subscription for the Lenoir and Blowing Rjck railroad steadily grows. About SIOO,OOO is in sight. Moses H. Cone, of Blowing Rock lectured in the Auditorium of the A. T. S. Wednesday even ing. The subject was: His trav els around the world. The lec ture was an intellectual feast. The teachers of A. T. S. gave an outing last Friday. The stu dents and teachers went on How ard's Knob. The trip was high ly appreciated by all. Granite Falls. Granite Falls, Oct. 14.—Con siderable excitement prevailed Sunday morning when it was learned that the stores of Sharp & Starnes and W. E. Starnes in which the post office is kept was visited by robbers. The safes were blown open and robbed of their contents which was from W. E. Starnes about $25 in cash and a like quantity of stamps; from Sharp & Starnes S6OO or more was taken. The broke into the blacksmith shop and secured a sledge hammer, chisels and a monkey wrench which was left in Sharp & Starnes store. They had a high explosive like nitro glycerine. Some people living near report like a blast about 2 oV.ock Sunday morning. As yet there is no clue as to who they a.e, or where they went, or came fium. Show a Bad Example. A grocer who was noted for hi a carefulness had an advertisement inserted in a local newspaper for a message boy, and a young fel low who understood the kind of a gentleman who was advertising came to apply for the situation, and while the grocer was telling him how careful he must be a fly settled on a bag of sugar, and the grocer caught it and threw it away. The boy then said: '"lf you want nle to be careful 1 you are showing me a bad exam ple." "Why?" replied the former. "Because," said the boy, "you! have thrown that fly away with-1, out brushing the sugar off its feet."—London Mail. If you have goods to sell it'vil , ( pay you to advertise them and let the people know what you have. The Weekly Papers's Problem In discussing the increasingly sflQoys problems which now con front newsppper publishers all over the country, the Fourth Estate, whose name sufficiently indicates its nature as a publica tion, expresses the opinion that the worst sufferers will be those weeklies and semi-weeklies which several years ago reduced ; subscriptions from $2 and Sl.s°, to sl. "This unfortunate cut in price," says our contemporary, ' occured when the country was m the clutches of hard times,and the people were not able to pay ri*eir bills. Now every subscrip tion taken at that price is well mgn a financial loss. It will L-e at a loss when the new price of paper goes into effect. There is but one thing for small publish ers to do, and that is to increase the price of their papers. They should not ejyDect to make the advance less than fifty cents on $1 subscriptions, and the same amount on $1.50 rates. No subscriber ought to expect to get a paoemowadays for such a sum as sl. The print paper a •one will be worth nearly that." Aiiat's the way it looks to us, is looking to mora and »nore week ly and semi-weekly publishers, and should shortly look to all the subscribers concerned.
