Tou need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it. teisa you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak. You must eat in order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a suffic ient amount of food regularly. But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol di gest the food. Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that. Sold by W S. Martin A Co* Druggists I Suffering Ladies 1 Hare urged to follow the example of thousands of W jB their sisters and take Oardui. Cardui is a non- K H mineral, non-intoxicating medicine for women. It y His for sick, weak ladies, with sick female organs. I It Will Help You g ggg i BE % It is a genuine, curative medicine, that builds J !| up the female system and relieves female pain. - S 1 Mrs. M. A. St. Clair, of Eskdale, W. Ya., writes: £ ■ "Before taking Cardui, I had given tip all hope of H I M getting well. I had sufT Bred for 3 years with my g a left side and was confined to my bed, so I took Cardui, I 3 and now Cardui has about cured my female trouble." | AT ALL DRUG STORES I THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT Edt What - Our Guarantee Go to your druggist today, and. purchase a dollar bottle, and If you can honestly say, that you did not receive any benefits from it, after using the entire bottle, the drug gist will refund your money to you without question or delay. We will pay the druggist the price of the bottle purchased by you. This offer applies to the large bottle only and to but one in a family. We could not' afford to make such an offer, unless we positively knew what Kodol will do for you. It would bankrupt us. The dollar bottle contains 25£ times as much as the fifty cent bottle. Kodol is made at the laboratories of E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago. I HICKORY, N.C., THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1909. V|H 9 . ' jK PMwpiiy Senator Elliattand His Record Among those who achieved reputation in the last legislature few or none went before Senator J. D. Elliott who deserves praise and commendation not only from his constituents but from the citizens of the community gen erally. He was identified with some of the most useful and im portant measures that required the attention of the best legisla ture,. Upbuilding The Town. If a member of your family died, would you print the resolu tions on a billboard? If your wife entertained, tfould you send an account of it to the theatre program man? If you were going to enlarge j our business, would you advetiSe it in a hotel register? If you were going to have a redding in your family, would you get out a handbill? You would send such items to i newspaper wouldn't you? Then why don't you put your edvertisements in a newspaper? Every man who uses a billboard is adding to nature faking. Everv dollar spent in theatre program, in a register, in a di rectory or in a handbill, \i a leg itimate dollar taken away from the newspapers of your town, Trolly Cars to the Cliffs. There is a movement on foot, we understand to operate a trol ley car from Hickory to the Cliff this summer. The movement is backed by Col. .Thornton and Capt. Nichols which, we believe assures the success of the under taking, The C. &N. W. railway crack is to be used. Sec. Gilbert of the Hickory Chamber of Com merce, has secuded an option on the grounds at the Cliffs, with the of erecting club houses beautifying the grounds establishing parks and making any other improvements he mav desire. We are hoping this move will succeed and trust that the people of Hickory will lend their hearty support. Those interested will consult with W. L, Gilbert. Two Important Rulings by President Taft. 4 • .In cnasiderinfe the condidates for the Eastern District Judge ship, President Taft has laid iown two rtiles that will be quite interesting to North Carolina Republicans: One is that the recommendation of Judges will not be given any consideration in the appointment of Federal offi cers, and the other that Republi cans who were once Populists need not apply to him for office. Under the second ruling he bar red out rSeawell, Skinner and Hicks, each of whom wished to sjcceed Judge Purnell. 7 The first of these rules will cu' dft J. C. Pritchard, who is tcrhave had a good dea ~ fd-sa)F a&riit North Carolina ay lointments since he has been, on ihe bench. The second will cut >ut ex-Senator Butler, who had a considerable pull with President Roosevelt. - These rulings will please the old-line Republicans in North Carolina, who have Stood no show in recent years in county, dis trict and State conyentions or at the Federal pie counter. The new issue Republicans who came in byway of the Populist road may say they like Mr. Taft for giving them this lesson in mod esty and good manners, but what their private opinion really is on the subject is a different thing.. What Do You Think About It? Do you think the children of Hickory should have as good school facilities and jss good tea chers as the children of other towns have? Do you think Hickory, with a school tax. of twenty cents, can have as good schools as other towns which have a levy of forty cents or fifty cents for school purposes? Do you think that Hickory can get as good teachers for $35 a month as other towns can get for $45 a month? Do you think that Hickory is as good a town as Lenoir? But Lenoir has voted sixty cents for schools, and Hickory has only twentv cents. Lenoir, with fewer children, has three more teachers in its school than Hickory, and pays salaries 25 per cent, largei than Hickory pays. Do you think Hickory is as good a town as Newton? But Newton has voted a tax of thirty cents to support its schools. Do you think a teacher can do the best work in the schoolroom when she has more than 80 pu pils? Do you think it good business policy to try to run the schools without teachers enough to do the work as it rhould be done? Do you think there is any oth er thing of atmufh importance £ft>thebest interests of Hickory as good schools? Do you tnink it good policy to neglect the schools because other expenses of the town are heavy? Do you think that you can af ford not to work and vote for an increased levy for the schools of Hickory? m mm mm Water Power for Lenoir. Col. M. E. Thornton, manager of the Hickory Flectric Plant, was in Lenoir last week to meet a number of Lenoir citizens with a view to furnishing an electric current to Lenoir from the 6500 horse power plant which the Water Power Electric Co., of Hickory, expect to construct within the present year. He says work on the power plant will be gin early in Mav and will be complete within seven months. CoL Thornton, has recently been North where he has intresteb a number of capitalists in th® measure and with the financial aid of sone of Hickory's leading business men the enterprise looks- encouraging. _ The plant will furnish electric power to Hickory, Morganton, Lenoir and all intermediate points, and if developed according to Col. Thornton's plans, will be of in calculable value in the progress and development of our country. —Lenoir Topic. Graded Schools Close. • The graded schools of Hickory vill close on April 23. The fol lowing programme for the clos ing exercises has been arranged. Thursday afternoon, April 22, at 2:30 o'clock, there will be exer cises by the"different grades;Fri lay morning, April 23, at 10:30 yclock, essays by the Tenth rrade will be read and diplomas awarded to those who finish the iourse of study; and on Friday night, April 23, at 8 o'clock, there will be a play given by two of, the grades. A small admis sion will be charged to the play Friday night, and the number of tickets will be limited to the seat ina capacitv of the school audito rium. The proceeds of this piaj will be used to purchase books or the school library. The year's work in the schools has been very successful; al though the scarlet fever situa tion last fall interfered to some extent with the attendance. The total enrollment for the year hap been 825; in the white school, 615; and in the colored school 210. This is an increase of more than 50 over the enrollment of last year, The Boys. So you are twenty-one? And yon stand up clear eyed, clear minded, to look all the world squarely in the eye. • You are a man! Did vou ever think, my son, how much it has cost to make a man out of you? Some one has figured up the cost in m~nev of rearing a child. He says to bring up a young to legal Bge care for him co ts $25,- 000 which is a lot of money to put into flesh and blood.* But that isn't all. You have cost your father many hard knocks and short din ners and worry and gray streaks in his hair. And your mother— ah, boy, you will never know! You have cost her days and nights of anxiety and wrinkles in her dear face and heart-aches and sacrifice. It has been expensive to grow you. But — If you are what we think you are, you are worth all you cost— and much,*much more. Be sure of this: while father doesn't say much but "Hello, son," way down deep in his true staunch heart, he thinks you are the finest ever t And as for the little mother, she simply cannot keep her love and pride for you out of her eyes. You are a man now. And some time you must step into your fathers shoes. He wouldn't like you to call him old but just the same he isn't as young as he used to be. You see young man, he has been work ing hard for more than twenty years to help you up! And al ready your mother is beginning to lean on you. Does'nt thst sober you? Twenty-one! Your father has done fairly well, but you can do better. You may not think so, but he does. He has give.* ou a better chance than he had. In many ways you can begin where he left off. He expects a good deal from you. and that is whv he has tried to make a man of you. Don't Jlinch, boy. - The world will try you out. It will put to test every fiber in you. But vou are made of good stuff. Once the load is fairly strapped on your young shoul ders, you will carry it and scarcely feel it—if there be the willing and cheerful mind. All hail, you, on the threshold! It's high time you were begin ning to pay the freight. And your back debts to father and mother. You will pay them, won't you, boy? How shall you pay them? By being always and every where a man. —R. J. Burdette WORDS TO FREEZE THE SOUL "Your son has Consumption. His case is hopeless." These - appalling words were spoken to Geo. E. Blevens a leading meachant of Springfield, N C. bjtwo expert doctors—ome a lung specialist. Then was shpwn . the wonderful power of Dr. King's New Discovery.
