It ought to be some consola tion to the Sultan of Turkey that he now has only eleven spring bonnets to buy. The G, 0. P. is to reduce the duty of chloroform. Doubtless it figures that it will be necess ary to put a good many people to sleep just before the next Con gressional election. As it is evident we mast en dure the obstruction of Union Square by the building now going up, we might at least be granted the slight improvement of having the stone walk in front removed. There seems no rea son why the walk there should not lie directly on the ground and thus obviate the necessity of ' having to climb those steps every ; time one goes to the station. We ■ hope the city authorities will . take the necessary action for this ( without delay. ( The annual financial report of ! the-town of Newton for the past fiscal year has just been publish- 1 ed, and occupies nearly a full ; double column of the Catawba J County News. It gives all the ( receipts and expenditures in de- 1 tail so that the people of that ] town can tell just what their J money was used for, and whether ' or not it was wisely expended. This is in marked contrast to the ' recently published financial re port of Hickory, which occupied 1 less than half a column of THE ! DEMOCRAT and merely summar ized the , receipts and expendi tures, giving very little informa tion as to how or why the money ( was used. In fact, it was very . much like the young wife's cash account, in which she put down "deceived from "Charlie, SSO, spent it all, $50." Really the town ought to have more definate knowledge as to how the money : which it is taxed to supply is expended. School Notes. The following teachers have been elected for the coming year in the Hickory School; First grade, Miss Ada Schenck; second grade, Misses Ava Harris and Mabel Hight; third grade, Misses Annie Duke and Mamie Sue John son; fourth grade, Miss Helen Chadwick; fifth grade, Miss Cora Yount; sixth grade, Miss Sadie Jarman; seventh grade Miss Lela Miller; high school depart ment: Miss Beatrice Cobb, Lat in and history; A. P. Whisen hunt, mathematics; and Chas. M. Staley, English and physics. It is the decision of the school board to divide the rear of the school auditorium into class rooms for the present. Later another school building of four or five rooms will be built at some suitable place on the south side of town. It is the purpose of the board to use the utmost economy in the matter of school expenses, and to set aside ev ery year a certain part of the school fund to be used for build ing purposes. By such means the board hopes to provide ad ditional buildings as they are needed without any bond issue. Prof. C. M. Staley of the grad ed scnool is in Morehead City this week, attendng the annual con vention of teachers of the State. It is expected that from 1,000 to 1,550 will be present. SIO,OO Ten dollars per cord will be paid for all the first class hickory logs 3 1-2 feet long de livered to us before July 10th, After that date the price will b« as before. lvy & Hice. LIGHT AND POWER. Contract by Which Both W ill be Furnished in the City. On account of much pressure the Thornton Light & Power Co. has signed a contract with the Southern Power Co. for its cur rant for power and lightning, to commence the last of next Sep tember and continue for two years, with the privilege of five to ten years. The city is arranging a con tract with the Thornton Light & Power Co. for lighting or for pumping water for one or more years. It seems that the city wants it for a series of years to avoid having to make a contract each and every year as hereto fore. It is to be hoped, and believed, that the contract by the Thorn ton Light and Power Co. will not seriously interfere with the hy dro-electric development which Col. Thornton has so very near a fruition. He intimates that he thinks he can manage to have the development made regardless of the coming of the Southern Pow er Co ,as it is proposed to build | within the easy reach of his pow er plant the largest cotton mill in the world, which will require some five or six thousand em ployes and about that many thousand horse power. Col. Thornton proposes to furnish the power at a less or more economi cal rate than the Southern Power Co. source for all purposes what soever in Hickory and all you have to do now is to get your motors and take the current. Everv industrial enterprise in Hickory will take it except two or three woodworking establish ments. But all of them together would not pay without the lights Nor will the lights pay without them. So much power is required to be taken whether it is used or not, and for that reason the Thornton Light and Power Co. must needs have all the power and all the lights in towu or they will not make any money, but lose. The sub-station of the South ern Power Co. is to be located just south of the city limit, on the top of the hill on the road to the iron bridge and Brookford and the current taken from the Thornton Light & Power Co. and transmitted to its power house and from there distributed over the city and to the factories and other enterprises. Their wiring system is already arranged for this and it will cut out their steam plant entirely. But it will also enable them to have the business systematized and running when ! the development is made on the Catawba river at Hickory. Police Record. Those who do not think our police force have enough to do to pay for keeping them should be better informed. Be sides the actual work which falls to their lot, the moral effect of an efficient police in keeping from crime those who would otherwise be law breakers is not easy to estimate. As a result of their work several cases have come be fore the recorder during the past week. Clarence Seabach, for disorder ly conduct, was fined $4.50. Amalee Johnson and Amelia Roseman, both colored, in a fight over a man, nearly tore each others clothes off and this ilittle disagreement cost them $4 each. Lettie Shuford thought that Tishie Patterson, both colored, was getting too much attention from her husband and assaulted her with a rock. In return Tis hie cut Lettie pretty badly. Tishie were let off on payment of costs, but it cost Lettie sls. Ray Cooper, Sam Heman, Tom Ennis, Clyae Hinkler and Clyde Price, boys from 12 to 15 years I old was cajght gambling near | the oil tank on Sunday, and their fun cost them $5 apiece. i one Lewis paid $4 for drunk enness. The Year's Fires The following record of fire* in Hickory from June fiwt 1908 to May 31st, 1909, has been compiled by C, A. Moser. Chief of the fire depart ment.

Mr. Jim Parmer found that all his wheat had dis appeared. While it is worth $1.60 a bushel he has none. The rain has caused plenty of grass to be growing in Cleveland and no discontinuance sign has been placed withf the farmers yet, but they have not given up hope. T. F.

Gardens about here are all look ing well, and those who have them are enjoying the fruits of the season. Of Interest to Farmers and Mechanics. Farmers and merchanics frequently meet with slight accidents and injuries which cause them much annoyance and loss of time. A cut or bruise may be cured in about one third the time usually required by applying Chamberlain's Liniment as soon as the injury is received; The Liniment is also valuable for spmins, soreness of the muscle and rheumatic pains. There is no danger of blood poison ing resulting from an injury when Chamberlain's Liniment is applied be . fore the parts become inflamed and swollen. For sale by W. S. Martin & I Co. To the Public.
