New York clergyman, makes ar earnest protest against the wear ing of large hats in church b\ women. In the interests of suf fering humanity it is to be hoper that his protest will avail. Thos who attend church to hear th Gospel preached do not desire tc have their attention distracted and their view obstructed by the monstrosities in the way of head gear with which the women nov. delight to adorn (?) themselves, and a due interest in the welfare of their fellow beings should in duce the fair wearers to shec them, temporarily, at least. Asheville citizens threatenec to lynch the murderer of a cal driver the other night. For the good name of the State it is to be hoped that better counsels wili prevail, and that the law will be allowed to take its course. Tht officers seem alive to the situa tion and have taken proper pre cautions against such an occur rence. To try and mend o"if crirfie by committing another would prove poor policy, and should be prevented. The world of letters has suf fered a severe loss in the deaths ef Charles Algernon Swinburne, the great English poet, and Fran cis Marion Crawford, the nov elist. Mr. Swinburne was un doubtedly the greatest poet,next to Tennyson, of his generation. He had a wonderful vocabulary and a keen sense of r> chm. He would have undoubtedly been made poet laureate, but that the keen moral sense of Queen Victoria took offense at some of his ear lier poems, which she could never forget, and so the wishy-washy Alfred Austin received the ap pointment, Mr. Crawford, al though an American, had lived so long in Italy and become so thoroughly acquainted with the Italian character, that he wrote of them as no other foreigner ever did, and so enshrined him self in their affections that his death was looked upon as a Na tional loss. The Kenilworth Inn at Bilt more was burned to the grouw Wednesday morning, with a lost of $310,000, and insurance of $75,000. Senator Guzzam, the owner, was injured, it is feare- fatally, by jumping from th fourth floor. Mrs. Terrell, { guest, is missing, and several others were seriously injured. Upbuilding the Town. The newspapers build up your town. Why not help build up the newspapers? There is no better advertisement in the world fore town than a good newspaper. A newspaper is the barometer of the town's industry. Show us a good newspaper, full of advertis ing. and we will show you a good town, full of live merchants. Billboards are an eyesore; hand bills area nuisance; theatre pro grams are worthless; hotel reg isters, from an advertising stand point, are ridiculous. Newspapers are town builders town advertisers, fortune makers newsjdisseminators, sermon de liverers, prosperity forecasters. Without them we would retro grade to the mediaeval days. Don't patronize them from a charitable standpoint. -Patronize them because they deliver the goods —that is, if they are the right kind. , , , Cut out the foolishness and work for the upbuilding of your town and State by upbuilding /our newspapers. Vlr. L. R. Whitener for Mayor. Mr. L. R. Whitener is bein*> •.poken of by a number of hi* 'riends as a desireable candidate ;V>r mayor of Greater Hickory Whether or not Mr. Whitenei vould accept the nomination is iot known, any-way there is i lesire on the part of his friend? :hat he be persuaded to enter the •ontest .Mr. Whitener bas madt he welfare of this town a stud\ J or years, and knows just where ;o take hold for its up-building, his quality is the one which it >eing emphasized by citizens ir. ;upport of his candidacy. Buick Cars Won. The recently organized Buick racing team, headid by Lewis Strang and Bobby Burman, has >een winning more than its share )f victories during the past six weeks. Following closely Burman's 100-mile championship title, won n 102 minutes, on the New Orleans circular track with a stock car, Strang captured two 3vents at Daytona Beach, each a distance of 100 miles. In one of the races Strang covered the distance in 90 minutes with a $1750 stock Buick. George Dewitt, the Jackson ville amateur, driving his SIOOO Buick, also won two 100-mile races at Daytona. finishing with the little Buick in 99 minutes. Roth DeWitt's ana Strang's time is several minutes under the previous world's records for stock cars. In the Atlanta, Ga., hill climb, Strang won the event for cars selling S3OOO and under with his $1750 Buick, doing the mile 2limb of a steep grade in 58 3-5 seconds and breaking the course record for equipped stock cars. Strang also won the SSOOO and under class with the same car in 59 seconds. Two Little Buicks ran first and second in the SIOOO class event Bobby Burman won the event for SSOOO and under touring cars with his $1750 Buick. Burman will defend the Buick colors in the Fort George hill climb, and the other Carnival week event in New York, the last week of April, while Strang and Louis Chevrolet will take in the big Lookout Mountain Climb and track meet in Chattanooga. Tenn., the same week. Morrison Bros. Co. Lenoir Defeats D. & D. The Lenoir College base ball team won a victory over the D. & D. school of Morganton on Monday by a score of 5 to 3, with an inning at bat to spare. The day was not favorable for base ball, being somewhat chilly and very windy. The game was without man> points of special interest. Williams, the south paw pitcher for Lenoir, struck out 12 men. A missed fly by the D. & D. center fielder in the third inning let in a run for their opponents. There were many fumbles by fielders on both sides, and some clean hits. In the sev enth inning the Lenoirs got into their batting clothes and made three two-base hits in succession* A good sized crowd witnessed the game, but it would add much to the general interest if the spectators conld be forced to keep in their proper places. There was a row of them almost on the base line from home to first base, which not only ob structed seriously the view of thosejin the rear, but interfered with the players. The D. &D. first baseman was prevented from catching a fly foul by a col lision with one of these .out-of place people. In future it ttould be well if the officials at the grounds would see that these people are kept in their proper place. Society News. «CCC«C€C€€CCCCC«««CCCCC( • Mrs. Geo.

Don't mistake the cause of backache. To be cured you must know the cause. It is wrong to imagine relief is cure. Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. A Hickory resident tells you how. H. C. Sigmon, living at 820 N ith Ave., Hickory N. C., says: "Sime time ago 1 procured Doan's Ki lney Pills when suffering from a lame back and a dssordered condition of my kid neys. These troubles had caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering for a long time, and 1 decided to find a reliable kidney remedy. I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, which I pro cured at Moser & Lutz Drug Co.. and they proved of far greater benefit than any remedy I had previously used. I heartily recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to other sufferers." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
