THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
HICKORY. N. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1909.
The Hickory fair.
The Hickory Pair pulled off
with out Occident cr tragedy.
Everybody entertained, and the
crowd of spectators seemed loathe
to leave. The sun was almost
down before they started home.
Quite a numberof the exhibi
tors were disappointed because
there was only one first prize of
fered on all the departments; es
pecially the ladies who exhibited
their babies. We think some
times that baby shows ought not
to be, for what fond mother from
the bottom of her heart could
confess that any woman's baby
was half as sweet, pretty and
bright as her own. Cut out the
baby show./ It is simply cruelty
to animals.
Allow us to mention a few in
cidents that came under our ob
servation; That of Major Kil
lian posing as a nurse. Well the
hand never forgets its cunning,
but somehow it was a misfit. It
looked to us like it was hard on
the baby. Another incident
kinder shook us up. The nice
young man who had been tagged
by the civic leaguers. We met
him supported right and left by
the cops, going to the lock up.
We thought verily he's gone back
to beggarly elements and the
calaboose to boot. Prohibition
do prohibit, but not altogether.
There were others more or less
hilarious. The chicken show was
fine. The birds all looked fresh
from the laundry. Everybody
loves red apples. It seems like
chicken fanciers prefer white
chickens, judging by today's ex
hibit. We didn't get enough
looking at the pheasant coops.
Oh! such beautiful plumage! Such
fiery red combs and wallets! Is
it because they are untamable,
and have retained all the orna
mentation given them by the
Creator? The Bible teaches that
everything was made perfect but
that man has sought out many
inventions. Reasoning along
this line, if mother Eve was so
much prettier than the ladies
that were gathered in the exhi
bition hall, don't think we could
have withstood the ordeal. Pos
sibly we would have done like
old Jacob when he kissed Rachel.
Just lifted up our voice and cried
out loud and long. It was all we
could do to keep from grinning
all the time. While the display
of live stock were limited in
n jmbers they were certainly fine.
What a pity there had not been
two or three days, then we
would have had a fair right. The
cereals and vegetables were bet
ter as a whole than any former
fairs that we have attended. One
word about the Hickory Brass
Band. It is a good one, except
their selection of music. If they
would just give us Dixie, Annie
Laurie, Lone Rock by the Sea,
Black Joe, Sunbeam Polka, all
those good old tunes, instead of
these vile coon songs and Japan
ese productions that grate on
ones nerves. How we would like
to hear Captain Barb exploit
those old kind, and the other
boys with solo on baritone and
trombone. All they lack is the
right kind of music.
The parade of the Graded
school, we thought, was the most
entertaining. Professor Staley
and his core of teachers seem to
have the five hundred or more
of children under good discipline.
It was certainly inspiring to
watch them marching. We
dreamed of the future as they
passed by, and what all was rep
resented in that host of children.
They are our successors. In
them we hope to perpetuate all
that we have accomplised in our
generation and possibly more.
There is no good reason why
they should not excel us on many
lines. Let us hope they will
avoid many of our mistakes. May
all their lives be lives of pleas
antness, and all their paths be
. • . - r- -v-r ■

paths of peace.
The boys in knickerbockers,
The girlies in their curls,
The crowd that did the marching, -
Were mostly boys and girls.
The teachers kept the step,
To the music and the drum,
And the first grade shows signs,
That they were learning some.
The maize of smiling faces,
All did the truth attest
That they had been taught the graces,
And their training was the best.
There was no kind of rudeness
In any of the grades,
There is nothing like the success
That Professor Staley has made.
Let us all stick to our graded schools,
For it may be perhaps
The teachers, for not minding rules,
Might whip some of our chaps.
Don't let we patrons ev£r forget,
Or kinder play the fool
And have our children stop or quit,
If they get whipped at school.
Politics in Burke County.
In things political, Burke is
interested at the present time
only in the approaching fight for
the nomination of Judge of the
14th Judicial district, between
Solicitor J. F. Spainhour and
Judge Justice. Both know how
to take care of themselves, have
hosts of friends and admirers in
every county in the district, and
it is predicted that this will be
cne of the warmest and prettiest
fights ever pulled off before a
convention. There seems to be
a candidate for solicitor in every
county in the district except
Burke. A. Hall Johnstan, of Mc-
Dowell county, who is said to be
a candidate, was erroneously at
tributed by the Charlotte Obser
ver to Burke county.
Another battle royal is said to
be in store for those who have a
right in Judge Council entering
the lists for the nomination for
Congress against Yates Webb.
It is stated that Judge Council is
not a candidate for his present
positionr and there are already a
number of ambitious lawyers of
his district, who feel like the Ju
dicial toga would fit them, the
most prominently mentioned be
ing Hon. E. B. Cline, of Hickory.
This all gives foundation for the
rumor that Judge Council will
oppose Yates Webb. They are
both good mixers and have strong
supportes, but the odds in this
county are strongly in favor of
the Cleveland county man.—Oct.
17th Charlotte Observer.

Hickory Royal Archs Banquet
State Regent.
Mr. H. E. Bonitz, of Wilming
ton, State regent of the Royal
Arcanum, was given a banquet
at Hotel Huffry Friday night by
the officers and members of the
Catawba council. There were
about sixty invited guests pres
ent. Mr. A. A. Whitener acted
as toastmaster and informal
speeches were made by several
of the members. Mr. gonitz
then made a short address on the
"Progress of the Royal Arcanum
in North Carolina and Its Pur
pose." The local council is ac
tive in building up its already
large membership, by means of
such social features, which will
he continued from time to time.
Conover.
Oct. 3. It is too cold for com
fort in writing without fire. But
one can under such circumstan
ces try to imagine how Dr. Cook,
Captain Peary and their friends
in the arctic regions felt when
their ambition to reach the Pole
led them on and on toward that
point of the globe. Miss Emily
Koiner has spent a few days of
a short vacation" with her father,
sister and friends in Catawba
county. She likes Asheville
whilst they all prefer Catawba.
The Huffry is a fine house in
which to sojourn, judging it by
appearance. The name of course
is a good one, fittingly represent
ing the namef of the very enter
prising brothers, Dr. Fry and
Mr. Wm. Huffman. But a fine
name for the hotel could be made
by taking the name Fry as the
first part, and the other as part
second, then translating both.
Fry is German and means free,
frank. Huff is German Hof and
means a countryhouse, a court
or palace of a prince, Freecourt
would be both handy arid beauti
ful, as a name for the pride of
Hickory.
The local pastorial conference
of the Missouri met at Conover
Oct. 8. Rev. E. T. Coyner from
Asheville was among the number
present.
After much leisure about it,
Mr. James F. Bolick seems about
to take a partner for his joys
and sorrows. He has a good
dwelling nearly completed, and
we wish him and his bride more
joy than sorrow. She is the
daughter of old and much es
teemed friends, and James is one
of our best young men.
The people about Plateau are
among the best in the county,
and besides they prosper by a
variety of work and of crops.
They raise but little cotton. Mr.
T. H. Phillips has a most useful
industry in his woollen mill. He
makes yarn,, and works mostly
wool that is grown in the west
ern part of the state.
Mr. Preston Allen's story of
the Battle at King's Mountain,
as it appears in the Charlotte
Observer is a good one to read.
It gives one a correct view of
the times in which our fathers
fought for true principle and
won.

Miss Neljie Shephard is suc
ceeding nicely with her art class.
The Appalachian Training
School had its outing on school
teachers and students tramping
five niles to Bridal Veil Falls on
Howai > creek.
Miss Miphael will give a mu
sical next week.
Judge Council has sold his
mountain home to Dr. McD Little
A. J. Moretz has sold his house
and lot.
Ex Sheriff Hodgen and Newton
Harrison traded a house and lot
to Tyre El cod. All this property
went at good prices.
