Last Friday Deputy Collector
J. F. Miller, with C. F. Blalock
and H. W. Jones, made an un
expected call on "Lum" Keller at
Alexander, and seized 18 gallons
of fine peach brandy which it
was charged has been illicitly dis
tilled. On Sunday Keller was
given a hearing before United
States Commissioner Tuttle of
Lenoir and was held under SSOO
bonds to appear before the next
term of she Federal court at
Statesville. Not being able to
furnish bonds he was committed
to jail. The brandy was shipped
to Collector Brown at States
ville for safe keeping.
Henry Ford and His 999.
Is there any sentiment in busi
ness? Say, rather, is there any
business in which there is no
sentiment. Take, for instance,
the automobile industry. Almost
every manufacturer points with
pride toward some prominent
pai t of his show room or factory
as housing "the first car I built"
and every month or so, a first car
picture blooms out in the papers
just to prove this point. Henry
Ford has his first car —his son
still drives the original SSOO run
about that created such a sensa
tion four years ago.
But sentiment is not confirmed
to pride in first cars. A decade
ago Mr. Ford designed a racing
car »nd drove it himself to re
peated victoriees. That car was
No. 999—the fastest thing on
wheels up to that time, and its'
record still remains unbroken.
. his is the car that made a mile
on the ice on Lake St. Clair in
39 2-5 seconds back in 1903. Since
then Mr. Ford has been too busy
building and selling cars to de
vote much time to racing, but he
has always reserved a warm spot
in his heart for that old 999. It
reposes under canvas at the fac
tory today, and not only the ori
ginal 999 but runabout 999 is
I there, and Model "T" touring
car 999 was added to this list re
! cently. And if he ever designs
a new Model car 999 of that
model will never have to work
for a living.
A Card of Thanks.
Mrs. Carpenter and I desire to
thank the kind friends and neigh
bors for their kindness towards
us during Mrs. Carpenter's sick
ness in your midst. lam certa n
it will not go without its reward.
Mrs. Carpenter has gone to the
hospital at Lincolnton for special
treatment. A, B. CARPENTER.
State News.
Last week's New York market
report says: North Carolina cab
bage was generally small sized
and undesirable. The average
I range was from $1.75 to $2.25.
Asparagus from North Carolina f
sold at $2 to $3 for prime and
lower grades of stock than this
brought $1.25 to $1.75. Straw
berries brought from 10c to 14c
a quart.
North Carolina will have ten
supervisors of the next census,
work on which will begin next
April, one for each congressional
district at a yearly salary of
$1,500, with $1 Der thousand
population in addition. These
will appoint 1,500 enumerators
who will get from 2to 4 cents a
head for persons listed. The
President appoints the supervis
ors and the Senate comfirms
them. It is generally understood
that North Carolina will have
seven Democratic and three Re
publican supervisors.
From advance sheets of the an
nual report of State Labor Com
missioner Shipman it is learned
chat during last year the news
papers in North Carolina increas
ed eleven in number, their total
circulation being 934,214, against
891,750 for the year 1907. One
morning daily suspended, the
Messengei at Wilmington, and
the circulation of morning papers
fell off 2,974. There are 21
afternoon dailies, an increase of
one, with a total circulation of
37,946, which is a decrease of
2,134. There are 185 weeklies,
an increase of seven in number
and 7,129 in circulation. The
semi-weeklies fell of from 25 to
22, but monthly papers increased]
from 39 to 46.
Owners of timber land, as well
as the big lumber companies, are
very much concerned about what
the Senate will do in regard to
retaining the tariff on lumber.
As lumbermen own 40 per cent
of the standing timber and
private individuals, mainly far
mers, own 60 per cent, it will
readily be seen how much inter
ested the latter are in the reten
tion of this tariff tax. In fact,
it is said that if its lumber is put
on the free list most of the saw
mills will be shut down.
Plumbing, Roofing and Glittering
Done by expert workmen. All kinds
of tin work on short notice. A full
line of bath tubs, bowles and sinks,
with hot and cold water fixtures. We
will do your work right.

A False Report.
I understand that someone has
put out a false report in regard
to the fire department's new
wagon. This wagon was bought
and paid for by the fire company
and not one cent of money taken
out of the city treasurey to pay
on it, nor was the board asked to
contribute anything towards it.
[ The fire boys raised part of this
money by private subscription,
shows, ice cream suppers and the
balance they paid out of their
own pockets.
I would also like to inform the
citizens of Hickory that the Fire
Company has paid out of its own
Treasury over $1,000.00 for fire
fighting equipments since its
organization; this money being
raised for this purpose by their
own efforts.
