Hickory's New Enterprise. i We wish to call the attention of the people of this city, to the organizing of the Hickory Cham ber of Commerce. All good citi zens of Hickory should get into the movement and help build up the city. "Boost on Bust" are words which looks alike but are exact opposite. A man must either "boost" or "bust" on rare occa sions he may do both but it is not in his power to do neither. Things are so constituted in this world that a man who strength ens his neighbors, builds up him self. Then be a "booster" a man is known by the company he keeps; a town is known by the business men it keeps. FIGHT FOR GOVERNOR. With the primaries of last Saturday, Craig's lead in the fight for Governor ended and Kitchin forged ahead with a lead of nearly thirty six. This is a discouraging and disconcert ing check for the friends of Mr. Craig who had confidently ex pected that he would enter the convention ahead of all rivals. Home has not only met the ex pectation of his friends, but has already received a vote larger than they expected him to get on the first ballot out of all the counties in the State. Those who looked upon Home's can didacy as a joke, found out some time ago that it was a very serious proposition and Home's figure now looms large on the horizon of State politics. Unless Craig can retain his lost lead, which seems hardly possible, the contest so far as he is concerned will be practicalty over before the convention meets. If with his extensive ac quaintance in the State and the powerful influences that are backing his candidacy he enters the convention behind his Per son County rival, he will be eliminated as a factor in the contest. Kitchin is now more fermib *ble than he has been at any time, while Home occupies a position that gives him a dis tinct advantage. INVITED BY BRYAN. Gov. Glenn to Second the Com moner's Nomination. Governor Glenn stated yester d ay that he was anxious to attend the Democratic National Conven tion at Denver, provided the State convention would send him a delegate. He said that he had never asked the convention to let him go as a delegate and had never gone as a delegate, but that now. as he is retiring to pri vate life, he would like to attend. If the Governor does not go he will second the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for the Presidency, as Bryan has writ ten him requesting that the Gov. make this speech. The Gov. stated that since his Washington trip he is not only satisfied that Bryan will be the nominee of the Democratic party, but also that Bryan is the most available man the Democratic party has for the place. In 1904 it reouired fiye ballots to nominate a Governor at Greensboro. How many will it take at Charlotte? Think About It. Rock Hill, S. C., a town of J 8000 population, has ten miles of paved streets. This was effect ed by a loan to property owners by the National Union Bank of that city of SIO,OOO payable in ten years, with interest of 6 per cent. Hickory has the population— How'about the Bank? Why can't we have a public park? There are several desira ble locations, and witsh our Metri politan airs, autos, the postmans whistle, and proposed street cars, surelj the next thing in order is a iarge public park, one not so cen trally located. farmers who believe in the old atiage "There's nothing new un iderthesun," might find some thing new in the mode of cultiva- j tion, of the Test farms over the county, being cultivated, under the direction of the State experi mental Station, Raleigh. One of these farms, a field of fine corn, can be seen back of St. Paul's Seminary on the farm of Mr. J. F. Abernethy. . Can't something be done to enlarge the seating capacity in and around Union Square for the Fourth? Anything upon which the frail and aged may rest while taking in the grand street par ade. Who will see about it? The strenght of Mr Home has devloped in many counties, is very encouraging to him and his supporters. He is making a fine race, and will go into the State convention in Charlotte on the 24th, holding the balance of pow er. His friends are in earnest and will fight fortheir favorite to the end. V|3noß S/EMIV 9AEH nox pui» ***** •VIHOJiBVO Hickory's Great Day. Prepaiations for the Fourth of July celebration are going merrily on. An enthusiastic meeting of the Hickory Club was held Wednesday evening and the subject thoroughly dis cussed. Committees previously appointed brought in their re ports showed most encour aging progress. No detail, even the slightest is being overlooked and the day is certain to be a success if careful planning and execution can make it so. Var ious amusements have been se cured for the day, among others a balloon ascension, wire walker, high diver, baseball games, great display of fireworks the night of the fourth, three or four bands and a continuous show. A feature of the day will be the floats of the different Hickory enterprises and the mammoth parade in which the children of the Graded schools will take part. It has been ar ranged, also, to have the city decorated in bunting. The Transportation Committee has arranged to have extra trains run from* neighboring points | during the day to accomodate i the people. Democratic Primaries arid County Convention. The Democratic primaries will be held at their respective places in the townships on June the 20th., to express preferences for county officers and members of Legislature etc., on the follow ing Monday, June 22nd, the County Convention will be held. The following candidates are to be nominated: member of State Senate, member of the House of Representatives, Sheriff; Regis ter of Deeds, Treasurer, Coroner, Surveyor, and five county com mission delegates will be appoint, ed to State Convention. Wheat harvest, like the elec tion, it is full headway. It is re ported that the crop is inferior both in quality and quantity. We are expecting some one to say that prohibition did it. fOimmWET^IAR itor chiutrmmt rafm, mar*. No oj tfatma ' Subscribe for the Democrat. The Right Foot Foremost. The meeting called last ever - ing to organize a Chamber of Commerce for Hickory was well attended by the leading merch ants, editors and professional men of the town. The meeting was called to order with E. L. Shuford in the chair. After some discussion of the purpose, etc., of the meeting, organizing was begun by the "election of officers. E. L. Shuford was chosen President, J. L. Riddle Vice-President and Dr. K. A. Price Secretary and Treasurer. The following were elected Di rectors: E. L. Shuford. J. L. Riddle, K. A. Price, C. C. Bost, J. C. Martin, K, C. Menzies, A. A. Shuford, M. H. Groves, J. D. Elliott, J. W. Blackwelder and C. H. Geitner, G. N. Hutton. The most noticeable feature of the meeting was the spirit of harmony and common purpose that prevailed. The note mast often struck was "building upj Hickory." It was the general feeling among the members that the organization of a Chamer of Commerce meant much for the advancement of Hickory and in short concise speeches the de termination was expressed to make the movement a success. The feeling of harmony and the "boosting" determination of its citizens augurs well for the city. Some sixty-five names were presented as charter members and committees are actively at work soliciting new names. The new organization is to he called the Hickory Chamber of Com merce. A meeting of the Di rectors is to be called soon for the purpose of appointing com mittees and beginning active work. Mrs. SL. Bowen of Wayne W. Va, wrires: "I was a sufferer from kidney disease so that at times I could not get out of- ded snd when i did I could not stand straight. I took Fofey's Kidney Remedy. One dollar bottle and part of the s econd cured mo entirely." Fofey's Kidney Remedy works wonders where others are a total failure. W. S. Martin & Co. The Glorious Fourth. If there be anywhere in the country round a man, woman, child, cat, dog or any other that doth still hunger and thirst af ter excitement let him come to Hickory July 4th and be filled. The secretary of the celebra tion committee has received let ters from over 50.000 people who are coming and we are working night and day to complete pre paration for their entertainment. The Democrat plant is being en larged to meet the anticipated increase in its circulation and a new police station is being erect ed tg accomodate the,crowd. Premiums will be given by the merchants to those making purchases on that day, the drug stores will give away a horse and buggy with each five-cents worth of ice cream and the pic ture shows will give life insur ance policy away with every ticket In addition the editors of the Democrat and the Mercury will present a diamond - ring to the ugliest man in the State—editors excepted. There will be high divers, greased pigs, good music, tamed sea serpents, genuine Kentucky politician 3 short speeches and the best weather we can find. Life is too short to name all the good things. Come out and bring your friends. P. S.- Bring some cash. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE WINS.
