The work of closing up the east end of the main street goes merrily on and thei'e seems t be no prospect that it will b* shopped. If the work of obstructinp Hickory continues much longer, we shall go over to the idea tha' it should be made as ugly as un becoming and as inconvenient a? possible. Suppose we buik houses over the streets an d con duct traffic via. the medium of underground tunnels. "In the midst of life we are ir death" and with automobiles constantly traversing some of the narrow spaces of our streets the coffin trade will look up and there will be a popular demand Tor undertakers. Of course we have no need in Hickory fo' such things as broad streets anc convenient high ways. Forty years from now this far sighted policy will be commended. A Suggestion. The greatest m : stake of thf city of Hickory will have baer commited when the buildinf now in progress of erection ad joining the Express office is al lowed to be completed. There is no shadow of an excuse for thf people to allow it to be erected It is not right that the owner? of this property should sacrifise aH of the lot for the benefit of the town and this should not be re quired, but the town authorities and the citizens should take somr action at once to pay for thf lot and open the street at this point. The citizens should pa> half the cost and the town pay the other half. It would also be a help to the town to throw the park into the street and make the street wider at all points. There is but little chance for the town to grow so long as tl;f streets are so narrow. We believe the citizens of thf town would be willing to pay half the expense of haveing thf street made wider. The busi ness men, of course, are ma r ' interested and should pay th greater amount of the cost, am' we believe they will gladlv d this. We are hoping some act ion will be taken at once. CHARLOTTE INVITES GOVERNORS Chief Executive of Thirteer Original States to Participate in Celebration. Special to the Democrat Charlotte, April, 7. The Cen tral Committee which is direct ing the programe of exercises t be held here on the twentieth o J May in celebration of the 134tl anniversary of the signing o the Mecklenburg Declaration Independance, has invited th Governors of the Thirteen Origi nal States to come to Charlotte for the three days' festivities GovenorEben S Daper has ac cepted. The people of Charlotte art preparing to give Mr. Taft the greatest reception ever accorei a President of the United States in a Southern City. Local offici als of both the Southern anc Seaboard Railroads have giver the assurance that ample trair accommodations Will be provided and that reduced rates will be offered. Special trains will be operated into the city on the 20th "Taft day"- (from all direc tions.) Our Stockings in Danger. While Representative Bur nett's declaration in the house Thursday to the effect that the proposed tariff on hosiery and articles of women's wear was an insult to American women may be regarded as somewhat face tious, it is nevertheless true that the framers of the Payne meas ure appear to have gone out ol their way to send the prices ol feminine apparel soaring sky ward. It is worthy of note that the Payne document 1; ys a lighi hand on beers and wines, but hosiery, underwear, corsets and linens seem to have been singled out lor merciless handling. And we want to know why. As stated in these columns Thursday the cost of the articles mentioned to the consumer will be more than doubled if the pro" oosed sections are allowed to stand. The blow will naturallj fall hardest on the poor and mid- Jle classes. We notice that the merchant's associations of the larger cities have already lodged vigorous protest with their senators and we have come to the conclusion that here is an opportunity for our local merchants to put them selves on record as championing the cause of their patrons. We have a Republican representa tive in congress, our old friend Mr. Grant, and he ought to be "seen" at the earliest opportun ity. It may be taken for granted that our Democratic senators will stand by the party's policies but if our own representative from this district can be induced to take up th J clubs for the peo ple we will have secured mater ial assistance. Our hosiery must be saved from the manipulations jf a designing enemy. When you attack the domestic purse you endanger the life of a com munity. And the women, too, invincible in memorable conflicts, can do much by bombarding the senate and house with vigorous femin ine protests.—Asheville Citizen. Hunting Conditions in Africa Will Please Roosevelt. New York, March 28.—1n the opinion of Dana Estes, a Boston publisher, who arrived here to day on the St. Louis, after a 25,000 mile journey in Europe, Asia, and Africa,, former Pres ident Roosevelt will find hunting big game in East Africa "like shooting cows in a back yard." "The anteloupe and animals of :hat kind are so tame," he said, "that they graze along the rail road track ar.d scarcely look up \s the train goes by." Butler Found Guilty of Crim inal Libel. \sheville Citizen. Winston-Salem, N. C. f April 6. -Former United State Senator Marion Butler and his brother' Lester Butler, were convicted in Guilford Superior court today of criminally libeling Republican State Chairman S. B. Adams, >y the publication in the Cau 3asian, a weekly newspaper own ed and operated by the Butlers, )f serious allegations against .\dams' integrity and honesty. Adams' acts as chief instice if the Indian court of Oklahoma in 1805, were severely condemn -3d by the paper in its fisrht a ?ainst Adams' reelection as chair nan of the republican state ex ecutive committee, The tritl lasted six days, was hard fought and created wide-spread intrest. Judge Long imposed a fine of jSOO upon Marion Butler and $250 ipon Lester Butler. A motion for a new trial was over-ruled and notice of appeal to the Su preme court was given the defen dants being released on bond in the sum of $l,OOO each. OASTOniA.

After current-events, Mrs. Green gave an interesting criticism of her book, "The Shepherd of the Stars." the rea son for the little however being an enigma to all until solved by Miss Wheeler who offered the solution that the hero was given that little because he was such a faithful guardian of the two girls —the "stars," the dining room revealed a bower of bloom, banks of violets and narcissus, violet shaded candles, placecards with hand painted bunches of violets and quotations about violets, violet bon-bon baskets, all proclaimed the color scheme. Among the many good things, it is too hard to particularize, but green peas and creamed chicken in patties and bananna ice-crcam may be mentioned. The next meeting will be April 21 with Mrs H.

Quite a number of the boys and girls of Hickory went over to Lenoir Friday to hear the de bate between the Hickory graded school and the Lenoir graded school. The debaters from the two schools acquitted themselves very well indeed, and their speeches would have done credit to almost any college in the State. Honors were evenly divi ded; the judges' decision was si yen to Lenoir, but it was uiv animously conceded that Hickory had the best individual debater. The representatives of the Hick ory school were Arthur Huffman and Haroid Shuford; of the Le noir school, Edward Cloyd and Hunt Gwyn. The judges were Messrs, A. L. Moser, J. W. Whis nant, and Prof. W. W. Peele. The query was: Resolved that the United States should own and operate the railroads. Among those who went to Lenoir was Mr. Chas.

SICK ALL WINTER Suffered From Bad Stomach and Severe Cough —Doctor ed Without Benefit— v er rnont Maa Was Finally. RESTORED TN HEALTH BY VINOL "About a year ago I began to run down in Health, lost appetite ?nd flesh and suffered from indigestion. All the winter I had a severe cough. I doc tared without any benefit and finally my druggist suggested that Ltry Vin 01. I did so and soon began to feel better. My stomach grew stronger, my food no longer distressed me, my. cough disappeared, I began to gain in flesh and soon felt like a new man. I did not believe that any_ remedy coul i make such a change in a person." Ei R. Wooster, Rutland, Vt. Vinot contains tonic iron and all of the medical body building elements of cod liver oil and is everywhere recog nized as the greatest body-builder and strength creator known for feeble old people, delicate children, weak, run down persons after sickneas and for chronic coids, hacking coughs and bronchitis.

GRIPPE VtCTiM Restored to Health & Streng L by Vinol Atter all Other Means Had Failed. PROFESSOR lIICKS STORY. *'l suffered from a severe attack o: the grippe which left me in a weak ened condition with bronchitis, a soreness in ray chest and a hacking cough. I tried different physicians and took neariy every kind of cough syrup sold on the market without getting any permanent relief. I saw your cod liver and iron preparation —Vinol — advertised, and decided to try it, and it completely cured my bronchial trouble and restored my strength. I cannot say too much for Vinol, as I received inexpressible benefit from its use and I ennsider it orfe of the greatest blessings ever offered to the public.'' R. E. R- Hicks, Maplesville, Ala, The grippe invariably leaves in its wake a weakened, run-down condition of the system. Vinol is guaranteed to restore the sufferer to health and strength, and to build up and create strength for old. people, delicate children and weak, debilitated peo ple. So sure are we of this that we unhesitatingly say give Vinol a trial. If yo* think it does you no good we will refund your money, but it will Menzies Drug Co. Doctors say take Cod Liver Oil— they undoubtedly mean Scoti's Emulsion. It would be just as sensible for them to prescribe Quinine in its crude form as to pre scribe Cod Liver Oil in its natural state. In Scott's Emulsion the oil is emulsified and made easy to take— easy to digest and easy to be absorbed in to the body— and is the most natural and useful fatty food to feed and nourish the .wasted body that is known in medicine today. Nothing can be found to take its place. If you are run-down you should take it.
