Our people were sorry to heai of that serious nre in Newton. The newest thing out is that impure causes the new disease, called Pellagra. What next. Hickory can boast of two mei. who can do big things, viz: J. A Martin and E. L. Shuford. A typesetting machine is need ed badly in Hickory. One ma chine could dp about all the work. The race for the Democratic nominatioa for Judge in this dis trict, bids fair to be an interest j ing one. We are glad they have at last begun to grade oyt that sub-way under the railroad. It has been an eye-sore too long already. Since the price of cotton has gone UD, it is hoped that yarns wilfalso go up, so that all the mills can run on full time. The census takers will not make a fortune out of it. It is thought that the one or ones whe take Hickory township, the lar est township in the county, will only get about S2OO. The base and football games seem to start out very numerous, since the schools and colleges opened again. But it is sad to see the boys come home limping and with broad dry grins on. It is said, that the work of « ditching out Clark's creek, will make no stop for bridges or any thing else. The question is, have they a right to ditch out a public necessity for an individuals good? Corn Raising. It is published in the papers that Dr. Long, of Statesville, raised this year one hundred and • six bushels of corn on one meas ured acre. This proves that farming on the intensive plan pays. First, improve the land. Second, pre-1 pare and plant it properly. Third, cultivate it timely and well, and then, with ordinary seasons, the laborer will reap a paying crop. Beginning With Stock. The man who begins the breeding of live stock should have a definite purpose or object in view, and then select a breed having special qualities in the line desired. This is an age of specialization, and the animal bred, fed and trained to do a cer tain definite line of work will us ually do it most profitably. We can, for the present, advantage ously allow others more skilled in the business to grow the pure bred animals for breeding pur poses, except in certain limited special cases. The average far mer will find it more profitable to grow animals for the product ion of foods for man. What is needed just at present, and to start with, i 3 a few more horses and mules; a few more hogs, and a few more sheep grown on every farm. These should always be from pure bred sires, and should be fed from the products of the farm. Claremont Entertainment. If the first of the Monday Ev ening Entertainments for this season given at Claremont col lege last Monday night is an ear nest of what is to follow, then tii kory has something good in for the winter. The pro gram opened with a piano sol( by Miss Fleta Moore. Miss Moon is a young pupil, but her perform ance showed the effect of the c ireful training she is receiving jnder Signor D'Anna. Miss Margaret Bost, always a favorite A'ith a Hickory audience, recited vith good effect, "A Georgia bedding" "Murmuring Zeph yrs,'' a piano solo by Miss Essie Robinson was greatly enjoyed, hi technique and execution Mis? Robinson gives great promise. '"A Telephone Romance" was rendered by Miss Hazel Elliott. This was one of the most pleas ing numbers on the programme and Miss Elliotc shows markeo t ilent as an elocutionist. Mifs Eiliott was followed by Miss Grace Patrick who gave a piano solo, "Gay Butterfly." Those who have heard Miss Patrick be f jre were expecting something good, and were not disappointed. Miss Mary Heller in "Sallie Ann's Experience" proved her self to be a good impersonator and told the story with marked effect. Mrs. Murphy sang "Ask thou wilt.'* "Her first call on the butcher" was recited by Miss Link. She was at her best. The audience thoroughly enjoyed it. "Vlase-Scherzo" a piano so lo by Mrs. Dr. White c'osed the evening entertainment. Many were anxious to hear Mrs. White and they were not disappointed. Signor D'Anna has great ability as an instructor and his power to drill students is much in evi dence when his pupils appear be fore the public. The next entertainment will be November 29. Western North Carolina Fair The recent fair held in this city was a grand success. Every body was interested in it. Our people of all classes are progress ive and work harmoniously to gether for the upbuilding of our common country. Our farmers are, as a whole, the most pro gressive and prosperous of any in the State. In fact, Western North Carolina is getting to be one of the garden spots of the South. And its possibilities are unlimited. All it needs is a chance to show what it is and what it can be. There is no bet ter way to show this than in one general fair, where they can bring together its stock and its people, so that the world even. Can behold it at one glance, you might say. The State Fair, held at Raleigh, is more specially for the benefit of the middle and eastern parts of the State; for their people are close enough to patronize it. It is not so with our Western section. v Our peo ple live too far from Raleigh to derive the benefus they deserve in every way. The time has come when jus tice to our part of the State de mands more of the State's pub lic benefits. Hence, it has been suggested that all that section West of Statesville come togeth er and organize what is known as the Western North Carolina Fair. As our people have begun it, and as we have the ideal loca tion for it, having the necessary railroad facilities, as well as lights, water, sewerage and pow er advantages—for cheapness— are unsurpassed anywhere. We ask the people of this, city and immediate section to consid er a Western Fair for Hickory, and for the Western part of the State. All that will be needed is the grounds, and improvements necessary to begin with. After then, with proper management, it will be more than self-support ing. Besides, it would be a great financial benefit to pur part of the State. We need it, merit it, ■and it is due the outside sections that we have it. Let us have a Western North Carolina Fair Association,.and begin right now. A Serious Lawsuit. There was a serious lawsuit !iere Saturday before Recorder Russell. The parties indicted ived in Hignland, or most, of them do. Ed Benfield, Frank Propst and Albert Cline were in licted, charged with gambling. VI. H. Yount and E.. B. Cline represented the State, and A. A. Whitener the defendants. The facts are as follows: On Jie Saturday before, in Cline's store in Highland, about 4 o'clock they began tossing up coin and the one whose coin stopped nea a crack in the floor, got the '.oins, and two like coins placed >n the counter. First one and then the other would win. At iirst. they tossed silver quarters, later they tossed silver dollors. mayor, Mr. Hefner, happen ed there about 9 o'clock and told them they were violating the law. They said they -were in fun. Anyway they played the game on all night and until about 5 o'clock Sunday morning. Ten or a dozen other men were in and out all the time from the first to the ending. Propst lived 4 miles out in the country and has a wife and three children. Cline a wife and 5 children. At the time his wife was quite sick. As to Benfield, no one swore that they saw him win or get any money during the all night play ing "for fun." Therefore, he came clear. Cline and Propst were fined each $50.00 and the cost. They said they would take an appeal, but no one thought they could afford to. Mr. Hef ner, the mayor of Highland, be ing the main prosecuting witness he could not try the case. Hence, the Recorder had them to try. Mr. Levi Keller was also tried, cearged with being t'runk. This was on the same occasion. Some believe they were all drinking which seems to be a common thing in that part of the town. He was found guilty and fined $5 and cost in the case. If Mayor Hefner could get policemen with his grit and watchfulness, they would break up much of the gambling and drinking in that little new town. Our City. Our city is growing as fast as any town. But it is not growing 1 as fast as it should, or could be ft * j made to do. Our own country [ people —many of them—are tired of country life, and are moving to the towns. The people East and North are seeking homes in or near Southern towns, especi ally in this Piedmont section. The thing for Hickory to do is to open wide her gates and invite them in. We should invite and induce manufacturers to come and build manufacturing plants, all sorts and lots of them. They will bring laborers, who will have to eat and be clothed. Then our farmer neighbor who want to go to town, buy property and settle down, should be induced to come to Hickory. There are many ways by which this can be done. But the best way is to show them that thev can live as righ'eously, pleasant ly, cheaply and as profitably here as any where. After asking about our railroad, school and church facilities, they ask about health and taxes. We could im prove the last two. We should have better sanitary supervision, and lower taxes. In other words we should show more benefits from our taxes for the general and public good. How He Supported the Editor.
