Mr. Voter, have you registered for the school tax election? Unless you register this week, you cannot vote in the election Monday May 31. The Raleigh News and Obser ver observedjits eighty eighth birthday last week. One of the old stand bys of journalism, this paper has always stood for the best of Democracy and for the people. We join with all its readers in wishing it long life and abundance of prosperity. Do you want the schools of Hickory to be • as good as the schools of Lenoir, Morgar.t on, Statesville, and other neigh boring towns? If you do, you must register and vote Tor the additional school tax. The question on which the peo ple of Hickory will vote next Monday, May 31, is a clear-cut one: Shall the present school tax of twenty cents on the hundred dollars property valuation and sixty cents on the poll be in creased to thirty cents on the one hundred dollars and ninety cents on the poll. This increase of ten cents on the hundred dollars and thirty cents on the pell will add about $l4OO to the school fund and will enable the school Board to provide the additional teachers needed in the school. The law requires a new registration foi this election, and the registration books will be closed Saturday May 29. Have you registered? Don't you think this additional tax is very much needed? W. L. Clinard has the registration books in his office. Do you think that Hickory is as live and progressive as any other town in this section of the state? Ifycu believe this, then you will want to provide for the needs of the school in order that they may rank as erual with the schools of other towns. Thomas L. Hisgen of Mass achusets, who was the presi dential candidate of the Independ League in 1908, announces his intention of contesting the seat of Henry Cabot Lodge in tht United States Senate in 1910, as a Democratic candidate. He says that the Independancf League has ceased to exist, or account of the withdrawal of William Randolph Hearst's fi nancial support. The defeat of Mr. Ladge would be a benefit, not only to the country at large, but to the Republican party in Massachusetts. He has nevei represented the people of that state, but has stood for a smali clique of wealthy men, whom he has assisted in despoiling the people in every way which could redound to their advantage. He obtained his seat in the senate b> methods which were the reverse of creditable, if the stories cur rent at the time are to be believtd, and the whole story of his politi cal career is one of which no high minded man could be proud. It is almost too much to hope, however, that his grip on his state can be broken, no matter how good a man may oppose him. Do you think that you will have any right to complain about the crowded condition of the school, or to criticise the work of the teachers if you do not vote for the additional funds neces sary to run the schools? How can you expect a teacher to do good work when she has eighty or ninety pupils in her room? Do you want to see the schools continue to grow and to do the kind of work they should do? If 30, can you afford to neglect to register and to vote for the additional school tax? Do you want more teachers in the school so tlat your children may have a chance to get a through practical education? If you do, then it is your duty to register and vote for better school facilities. Lenoir Commencement.

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: 4 '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 And 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.

Nothing seemed to restore my strength, At last I tried Vinol with the very oest results. It built me up and made me feel like a different man, and I am now better and stronger than I have been for years." John Kin ney, Indianapolis, Ind.
