The work of closing up the east end of the main street goe? merrily on and thei'e seems t' be no prospect that it will b* stopped. If the work of obstructing Hickory continues much longer, we shall go over to the idea tha' it should be made as ugly as un becoming and as inconvenient as possible. Suppose we buile houses over the streets an d con duct traffic via. the medium of underground tunnels. ''ln the midst of life we are in 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 ano convenient high ways. Forty years from now this far sighteJ policy will be commended. A Suggestion. The greatest mistake of the city of Hickory will have baer commited when the building 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 owners of this property should sacrifise aH of the lot for the benefit of thf town and this should not be re quired, but the town authorities and the citizens should take som 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 tic streets are so narrow. We believe the citizens of the town would be willing to pay half the expense of haveing th street made wider. The busi nessmen, of course, are mft r interested and should pay th greater amount of the cost, an' 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' May in celebration of the 134tJ anniversary of the signing o' the Mecklenburg Declaration o' Independance, has invited th* Governors of the Thirteen Origi nal States to come to Charlotte for the three days' festivities Govenor Eben S Daper has ac cepted. The people of Charlotte art preparing to give Mr. Taft the greatest reception ever accore a President of the United States in a Southern City. Local offici als of both the Southern and 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 Stocking 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 ar 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 oJ their way to send the prices oi feminine apparel soaring sky ward. It is worthy of note thai the Payne document 1; ys a light 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 tc stand. The blow will naturallj fall hardest on the poor and mid dle 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 marchants 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~ Dle 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. —In the opinion of Dana Estes, a Boston publisher, who arrived here to day on the St. Louis, after a 25.000 mile journev 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 and scarcely look up xs the train goes by." Butler Found Guilty of Crim inal Libel.

Falls agent for the Falls heirs, effected the sale and the con sideration was $lB,OOO. Mr. Montague announces that he will at once begin the work of remodeling and renovating the hotel and will give Gastonia in the near future what the town has long needed, a first-class hostelry. Lenoir Hotel Gutted. Lenoir, April 4.-The Hotel Archer, F. V. Archer, owner and proprietor, was nearly de stroyed byiire here this morn ing. Flames presumably broke out in the pantry about 3 o'clock consumed the cooking and din ing rooms, spreading to the main building and burned out the woodwork throughout the attic. The fire company and citizens using the flne water system just installed by two hour's heroic ef fort extinguished the flames and saved the wall and rooms of the building intact, but as a result of the fire and water together the remains are almost worthless. The building was originally con structed for a sanitarium at a cost of $20,000'. Rooms were fi nished in in the finest woods pro curable. The loss cannot be esti mated, insurance $lO,OOO. The Hon. R Z Linney, of Taylors ville, must .be rapidly improving, if not entirely well, as the Hickery Democrat; of last week announced that it had been reported that he was soon to wed a dashing widow of Hickory. Of course if this be tru&the learn ed gentleman is siulely on the road to recovery, and must be in the best of spirfts.-^—%oncord Times. TH* CHILDREN LIKE IT KENNEDY'S LAXATIVE COUGH SYRUP
