As the East end of the town? main throughfare is being closec up why not put a wall round th entire town and note the effect If its good for one part of th town it ought to be good for all Every citizen should be sm e and cast a vote at the municipr. election next Monday. Both th candidates are good men an whichever is elected we may b« sure of having an official who wil' do his best for the interest of the city. It is said that if the plan fo? giving an increased appropria tion for the schools is voter down, those in favor of it will, out of revenge, defeat the bond issue for improving the streets. It is to be hoped that no such scheme'will be successful. Be cause one good thing fails is nc reason for killing another. It is earnestly desired by all those having the welfare of th town at heart, which, of course includes all our residents, that the proposed new train betweei this town and Ashville may be come an accomplished fact. Th present train service on the Sou thern is so inadequate that any improvement will be warmb welcomed. But there is a gen eral feeling that Hickory can ex pect few favors from the South ern. In fact it is reported thai the superintendent of the Ashe ville division has said that ht would see Hickory in Hell before he would give it a new station, which probably means that hf would be equally slow in giving it any other needed improvement. Perhaps Hickory is not entirely without blame for this feeling of hostility, but it seems as if it was time to t'orget old disagree ments, and show Hickory the con sideration to which, as an im portant shipping point, she is en titled. •Judge James E. Boyd, of the United States district court, made a statement in court at Greensboro recently which wil have a decided effect, on futur liquor He anounc ed from th* banchi that in future he should hold as a matter of law that where a witness testified that he had purchased liquor from defendant, that witnes was indictable as an aider and abettor in the commission of a violation of the law; that, the violation of the law agafnst retailing without a license was a misdemeanor, and since in a mis demeanors, aiders and abettors were guilty as principal?, he should hold that purchasers of liquor were equally guilty with the seller. This is as it should be. It has too often happened that a man who has bought liquor from anothrr has later, for some fanci ed injury or a desire to obtain the witness fees, denounced the seller and obtained his conviction in court, Such actions tend to bring the law into disrepute airi should be discountenanced. The judges statement is. of course, sound law, and this is one of the cases where law and justice go hand in hand. Children especially like Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tast nearly as good as maple sugar. It not only heals and allays inflammation, there by stopping the cough, but it also moves the bowls gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no opiates. Sold by C. M. Shuford & w. S. Martin. Iv ' • J'*****'***'*'* ■"■'S | Society News. %€€C€€C€€C€€€€lC«€€€€€ d Tuesday, April 20th, the Hick ory Book Club gave a reception to their friends at Mrs. 0. M. Boyster's residence. More than one hundred and twenty-five quests were present and as the night was as balmy as in Ju.ie, piazzas, as well as spacious par lors, were pleasantly filled. After the president, Mrs. H. D. Aber lethy, received the greetings, lelicious fruit punch was offered. Then brains were puzzled over a rame called "The History of a °air of Lovers on an Ocean Steamer." Posted around were twenty-five pictures of author? ind below each a question to be inswered with the name of a jvell known book by this author. These answers were woven into a story or romance, and four were t ; ound to have all the answers cor rect, Mrs. J. H. Shuford, Mrs. Alfred Moretz, Mrs. C. C. Bost ir.d Mr. Arthur Moser. Mrs. C. G. Bost drew the prize, a hand some copy of Myrtle Reed's book, "Flower of the Dusk." A salad course was served later in the avening and snapping mottoes added a great deal of fun. The members of the club which has the distinction of being the oldest Book Club in the city, are Masdames H. D. Abernethy, E Chad wick, H.Geitner, T. J. Green. H. C. Menzies, J. A Martin, 0. M. Royster. A. A. Shuford, Jr., E. L. Shuford, J. A. Ramsey, Misses A. Schenck, Mary Geitner md E. Wheeler. On all sides were heard expres sions cf hearty enjoyment. The buoyant quality in the air on a spring day is not more apparent than the exhileration which is felt in the social atmosphere when friend meets friend and mutual pleasure ensues. Wednesday, April 21, the last literary meeting of the Hickory Book Club took place at the hom? of the president, Mrs H. D. Aber nethy. All members were pres ent and Mrs Geo. Hall was the guest of the Club. Landon's "Under the Sun" and Geo. Ho. ton's "In Angolis" were the most popular books, not novels, while the novel found most interesting was "Crewe's Career"though "Diana Mallony" ran a close second. The choice of books to keep was decided by lot. Beautiful sachets, hand painted with forget-me-nots en closing the title of a book, were passed to each one on a salver by Miss Clarissa Abernethy. Mrs. Abernethy's account of her books "The Post Girl" and "The Old Room" was very interesting. After current events a novel surprise awaited every one on adjournment to the dining room. With each card at the table were placed mysterious packages with explanatory notes. These were found to contain articles suited to the individuality of each; a body and a form given to the airy puns which floated in the clever brain of the hostess. For instance, to one was given "the swellest thing from Paris" —a sponge; to another shoe blacking, "Col. Whitmore's latest, for you know he is bound to shine even in a lowly position;" another had scissors, "we part to meet again;" another cigarettes, as "best laid plans go up in smoke;" one had a pitcher in allusion to her hus band's baseball reputation; one had 4 'tablets to be taken before each meal"—paper pads; another rolls, to "choose her role in the new play." The fondness of one for old laces brought her shoe laces; one who loves works of art had five marbles —playing 1 mar bles; ©ne whose good conduct made her deserve' 'a rise" had a yeast cake; another who can spin "a yarn" deftly received some skeins of wool; another whose common sense is notable had a few cents; a plodding secretary received "an absorbing subject" suggestive of literary criticisms, a .beautiful large hand painted blotter. All relished the delight ful nonsense as set forth by the f outward and visible signs of witty pens. Then spring flowers, the colum bine and narcissus, and the spring bird, the broiler and tomatoes and strawberries added their share, so that it was an evening of rare pleasure. For next year Mrs. J. A. Mar tin was elected president, Mrs. Royster vice-president and Miss Geitner secretary. Adjournment to meet Sept. 15 for business and Oct. 5 for the beginning of the new year. The last meeting of the Travel lers Club for the year 1908—1909 was held with Mrs. Chadwlck Tuesday afternoon April 13. Quotations answering roll-call were upon Heroes, prominence being given to Theseus, who re presented the Athenian ideal of humanity. Mrs. K. C. Menzies gave the topic carried over from last meeting, "Greek War of Independence. 1821 —1838", fol lowed by Miss Geitners account of the recent "War of 1896". Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Chadwick, Mrs. W. L. Abernethy and Mrs. J. L. Cilley sang a fine chorus from "Oedipus inColonus;" Sop hocles —Mendelssohn. The literary exercises were clos ed by a conversation upon "Ath ens and the Greece of today," in which all the members partici pated in a very animated and in teresting way, thus exchanging much valuable information. Mrs. J. L. Murphy sang in fare well "Maid of Athens," suggest ing in a way the spirit of beauty for which Athens and Greece stand- As the business meet ing was rather long, current events were omitted. Two course refreshments were served among which were creamed chicken pattys and tomato jelly. All felt a genuine regret at parting for the last meeting of the year, a year so full of enjoy ment and profit. The Young People's Aid Society met at the home of Miss Delia Bost Tuesday night. A large crowd was present with several visitors, among them Miss Ger trude Deal and Miss Wilson. The program of the evening was of Japan. Miss Ora Huffman, the president, read several sketches about the Japanese and all the members present told something of Japan, how the people lived, the population and how many out of that number were christians. Pictures were also shown illus trating the life of the Japanese, with different articles that the Japanese use, all of which were very much enjoyed by all present. A motion was made for the soci ety to contribute a certain amount towards the pipe organ. After the business was transacted, re freshments were served and catch games played. The next meeting will be at the home of Miss Nora Cline. The Thursday Study Club held the last meeting of the year April 22nd at Claremont College with Miss Sourbeer. Quotations which were very appropriate were on ' 'Spring." The hostess gave the topic for the afternoon; "The Northern Provinces of Sweden," and "The Ancient City of Bisby." Much current news was discussed before adjournment. Elegant refreshments in three courses were served. This last meeting of the series was one of the most delightful of a very en joyable year.

ALL WRONG The Mistake Is Made by Many Hickory Citizen. 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 Ninth Ave., Hickory N. C., says: "Some time ago I procured Doan's Kidney 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 I decided to. find a reliable kidney remedy. X 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.
