There is & little city in the mountains of Western North Carolina—Henderson ville by name —that has in a few short years grown from a small insign ificant little hamlet to a hustling compact little city. A few years ago the citizens of this town could boast of noth ing more than a depot, a post office and a few business houses. I But almost within a day these conditions have changed until Hendersonville can boast of ma cadam streets, cement sidewalks a number of first-class hotels, and everything that goes to make a thriving city. At pres ent they have prospects for building operations agregating almost half a million, one con tracter alone having ordered re cently ninety-five solid car-loads of building material. And the work i> but just begun. Every thing points to redoubled activi ty along this line. Now, we are not writing this for the purpose of advertising some other town, but for the purpose of showing what can be done when the people of a town set to work. Why can't Hick ory do the same thing? We have many advantages over Hendersonville. We have a lower tax rate than Hendersonville. Capital is some times driven away from there because of the taxes they are compelled to pay. Here it if not so because we have as low a tax rate perhaps as any town or county in the State. Our climatic advantages are superior in some respects to those of Hendersonville. Np place on earth can "boast of a more healthful climate than Hickory. And our climate is not only healthful but is delightful. And these are only a few of the many advantages of which Hickory can boast. Hendersonville's first step was the organization of a Board of Trade. This board entered at once upon a strenous advertising crmpaign. They advertised her many ad vantages (and they were legend) far and wide, and as a result their town it known today as one of the most popular summer , re sorts in the entire country. * It is saTH that as many as ten thousand summer visitors have been registered at her hotels and boarding houses at one time. And this number increases with each year. Hickory has all the advantages requisite to an ideal summer re sort. Our weather in summer is all that could be wished for by the pleasure seekers. Hendersonville now has a Chantaugua and Lyceum Course each year which adds much to the life of the town. Capital is becoming interested and aside from the manufactur ies already established in and around the city, plans are on foot for the erection of three large cotton mills the coming summer. Two huge lakes and two large hotels we learn are now in pro cess of construction. -These are only a few of the many things that could be men tioned, all of which ge to snow that the citizens of a town must themselves make an effort be ffcse progress is possible. Are to learn the lesson? ratus stop and ponder these questions for a few minutes. Are we perfectly satisfied with Hickory as it 13? Do we believe that Hickory is just as good as she can be made? If we answer these questions affirmatively, we are excusable if we sit down and exclaim: "A little more sleep, a little more slumber." But if we answer negatively, —which all broad minded men will do, we should then cast about us for a method for improv ing present conditions. Don't claim that great moun tains of opposition ri«e up before us. "Say unto them go forward" was the commandment given to Moses when he fell on his faae before the Lord at the shore of the Dead Sea. When they press ed forward the waters divided and they passed over drj-shod. Let us write the words, "Go forward" in letters of gold upon the tablets of our minds and in obeying that command the seas of difficulty will divide and we will pass over dry-shod to our place as a town that flows with milk and honey. Night Walkers. Some of the people on King's Creek, near the Wilkes line, hare been receiving letters lately, mailed at .Hickory, notify ing them that if Geneva Laws and Levi Dyson did not leave tie settlement by a certain time, there would be trouble. They did not leave and trouble came last week, when four men took Geneva and Levi out and gave them a sound thrashing with a brush, giving them notice that the performance would be repeat ed soon, if they did not leave. They left for parts unknown. Geneva is a grass widow with several children of uncertain color. Dyson is a young man, deaf and dumb. —Lenoir News. Will Prosicute Papers. At a meeting of the trustees of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League held in Atlanta recently, it was decided to prosicute all news papers carrj ing whiskey adver tisements on tjif , grounds that these papers lure hired agents and solicitors for whiskey houses The Georgia prohibition law ex pressly forbids the soliciting of orders for whiskey in any way. We have received many words of praise and commendation from the representative business men of Hickory, concerning the Booster for all of which we feel very grateful. The Booster is only two weeks old and has labored under great difficulties from the start. We are conceit ed enough to believe that we can make this paper better with each issue and shall labor un ceasingly with this one purpose in view. Revolts at Cold Steel. "Youronly hope," said three doc tors to Mrs. M. E. Fisher, Detroit, Mich., suffering from severe rectal trouble, lies in an operation,"—"then I used Dr. King's New Life Pills," she writes, "till wholly cured." They prevent Appendicitis, enre Constipa tion, Headache. 25c. at C. M. Shu ford's, W. S. Martin's, Moser & Lut*. Tne Cold Wave. From all parts of the country comes the report that the exceed ingly cold weather experienced Saturday and Sunday, was the coldest, perhaps in many years. Even as far south as Atlanta, the themometer fell fifteen de grees above zero, while in New Orleans the temperature was so low that a negro was frozen to death. The north and north-west re port the thermometer as low as 24 degrees below zero. Owing to the high winds prevailing in many places, thousands of dol lars worth of property was de stroyed by fire. The loss from sleet and wind cannot be esti mated. The loss of life is insig nificent. Social functions of winter, midnight lunches, loss of sleep tell on the health. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea clears the blood, aids digestion, relieves fa tigue; makes and retains your health. Greatest tonic. Tea or Tablets, 35 centa. Moser & Lutz.

Whereas the general Assembly of One Thousand, Nine Hun dred and seven passed an act creating a Fireman's Relief Fund and applying thereto one half of one per cent of all prem iums collected by foreign insur ance companies in towns and c\ : es within the State of North Carolina toward the assistance and support of Fire Companies properly organized and having the equipment specified in said act and, Whereas the experience of two years has shown the beneficent results o2 said act but at the same time its weakness in that the appropriation is so small as to be totally out of proportion to the advantages resulting both to the insurance companies and the peblic at large in the way of salvage in case of fire, and, Whereas all the cities and towns in the State are increas ing their fire equipment and im proving the efficiency of said companies, their machinery and equipment greater from year to year, and, Whereas a practical test of the present measure has demonstra ted that it should be both in creased in amount and extended to all insurance companies alike, Therefore, Beit resolved by the Hickory Volunteer Fire Compi ny in a meeting assembled that the act of 1907 creating said Fireman's Relief Fund should be amended so as to ap propriate ene per cent, upon all premiums collected upon Fire Insurance Policies in each town and city where the acts applies. 2nd. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Hons. J. D. Elliott member of Senate from this Senatorial Dis trict, and J. Y. Killian, member of the House of Representatives, urging them to use their best efforts in behalf of such amend ment and a copy to Hon. James D. McNeil, President of State Firemen's Association. This 19th day of January, 1909 The Hickory Volunteer Fire Company unanimously adopted the foregoing resolutions and m order that all citizens may know what this Relief fund is for, the Company calls attention to the following^provisions of the Act refered to. _ That the funds so provided shall be expended only for these purposes. Ist, To Firemen who are in jured at fires, or rendered unable to do their work by sickness caused by duty at fires. 2nd. To provide a reasonable support for those actually de pendant upon services of any fireman who may lose his life in the fire service of his town, city or state. 3rd. To safeguard any Fire man who has honorably served ten years of his life in the Fire service of his city, from ever be coming an inmate of any alms house, or actually dependant up on charity. Tell me not in mournful num bers that the town is full of gloom, for the man's a crank who slumbers in these bustling days of boom. Life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal; every dollar that thou turn est helps to make the old town roll. But enjoyment and not sorrow is our destined end or way; if you have no money bor row —buy a corner lot each dav! Lives of great men all remind us we can win immortal fame. Let us leave the chumps be hind us and we'll get there just the same. In this world,a bread battle, in the bivouac of life,let us make the dry bones rattle —buy a corner for your wife. Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achiev ing still pursueing, booming early booming late. * Subscribe for the Democrat..

In every town or community there are those who are too worthless to earn the salt for their bread. They are found in crowds about the street corners conversing inteligently (?) upon all subjects. They are well versed in all matters of science, art, music, etc, and can give good advise about any matter that may come up for considera tion. They see only death and dam nation in everything that is pro posed to build up the town and can suggest a better plan for the accomplishment of every purpose under the sun. They talk of the laziness of of their neighbors who are striving day in and day out to support their families, when they themselves are absorbing the hard earned dollars of their wife and children. Such people are a curse to the earth and any town can call itself blessed whose bounds contain no , such inhabitants.
