Items From Franite Falls. Correspondence to The Democrat. Editor Democrat: The Old Fiddlers Convention came off last Saturday night and it was a success, all those who did not attend, missed the time of their lives. There were P some good "fiddlers" and banjo pickers and among them all a lady "fiddler." Messrs. Sraggs Hartley of near Lenoir and John Teague of Rhodhiss did some good dancing that brought down the house which was filled to overflowing, with a yell. The first prize of $5.00 was awarded to the lady fiddler, Mrs. Willard West, 2nd, $2.50 to Lynn Tolbert, 3rd, $l.OO to Wm. Porch, John Teague was presented by the Judges with one cent each for his dancing. Mr. Taylor of Rhodhiss, one of the Judges, presented the prizes with a few very appropriate remarks. Editor Moose, of Lenoir Topic was here attending the Fiddlers Convention. Rev. Bolick, of near Lexing ton is in town visiting friends and relatives. The Old Maid's Convention will be held in the Graded School auditorium on next Saturday night a week. The Granite Falls Cornet Band rendered some good music Saturday night at the fiddler's convention, and the band boys are to be congratulated upon their success both as to a good time and their bank account. Hustler. Sewerage Contract Let. The board of Aldermen let the contract for the Lincolnton sew erage system last Thursday to the firm of Guild & Co., of Chatta nooga.

' A Booze Again, t- Friday evening the attention ofi r the police was attracted by the suspicious action of two negroes who had driven up on Union Square in a buggy. It was no ticed that the buggy was being visited quite frequently by other negroes. Investigation proved that the two men had brought a load of whiskey to town, had un loaded it at the Sixth St. crossing and were soliciting orders. Po licemen Yoder and Shell,' were sent after the men who had driv en away toward Sixth St. The policemenjplanned to go by differ ent streets, and meet at the place where the booze had been unload ed. Shell, however, arrived a little before Yoder, and the booze artists, seeing him coming, began a rapid and artistic "skidoo" to ward the tall and uncut. Shell managed to grab one line but ' ; Maud" was going at such a rate that he could not bring her to a stop. Several shots were fired, which only served to increase the speed. The policemen say that they have the names of the men, and that arrests will foliow. The Debate. The respective followers of both Craig and Kitchin are cheering over their favorite's ' victory in the Joint debate at 1 Charlotte. The truth seems to be that the result was about a tie with Kitchin possibly a shade the belter. We suspect that very few votes were either gained or i lost by the exhibition. Votes are not usually changed by oratory nor do voters attend joint de- . bates in order to be convinced. More often it is to have a good . time. i Probably Home is the only man that gained by the debates and his gain is due to the fact that he took no part in it. Mr. P. A. Setzer, of Hickory, is talked of in Catawba county as the possible Republican candi date for sheriff. —Lincoln County News, You mean the impossi ble, Ed. ] At the Hotels.

All western l^orsi 9 is beginning to sit up ancP 1 take notice; presently they wSI be moving towards Hickory. Although the celebration will continue but a few hours, the ef fect will endure for a long time. For this reason we should strive to show the visitors the best side of ourselves. A good time for even a day may result in many of the visitors settling here permanently. A careful emphasizing of Hic kory's best features will do much towards bringing capital and in vestment to town. Take down your dictionary and friend out the difference between exploiting and "entertaining" Let us reserve the former to our )wn resources and treat our visi tors to the latter. The M. E.
