MR. YODER'S SOUND AD VICE "A paper that ought to be 2 welcome visitor in every family." This is what "Amicus", writ ing in another column, says of the Democrat. We are giving away no secret when we say thai Amicus is the venerable G. M. Yoder, of this county, the patri arch of the Yoder family, and one of the most cultured men of Catawba County. Let every family take Mr. Yo der's good advice, and take the Democrat. CHARLOTTE NEWS COM ING ON The Chariotte News has equipped itself with the full as sociated Press service of 17,000 words a day, and with »Mis, J. P. Caldwell as society editor which means 17,000 more words of chat ty snappy local news a day. It is a magnificent double barreled gain, which makes the News the newsiest afternoon paper in the two Carolinas. Hickory people, who learned to like Mr. Lee B. Weathers so much while he was in charge of the Democrat, will 1 be pleased to know that he be comes city editor of the News. A CONCEALED DEFECT IN THE RAIL The Corporation Commission has found the Southern Railway wreck at Brown Summit, where 12-persons were killed, to be due to a defect in the rail for which the railroad was in no way re sponsible. Of this we are glad. The Southern is as careful of hu man life as any of the great rail roads of the country. Fearful ac cidents will happen as long as human beings are fallible and imperfect. But this time the er ror is due to a rail manufactory, not the railroad. The great Pres ident of the Southern, Samuel Spencer, was a victim of human error on his own road, and we may well believe that this fact alone would tend to make the road as cautious as it is possible to be in protecting the life and limb of its patrons and employes. The following is the gist of the finding of the Commission: "The Commission is of opinion that tlie latent defect, known as the 'pipe' in the rail, was the cause of this de railment. This defect was in the man ufacture of the rail and could not have been discovered by the railroad company. "The Commission is of opinion that the rail broke first at the point 195 feet ncrth from the trestle about 16 1-2 inches from the joint and immediately over a small weather beaten but sound oak tie. From an inspection of this tie and the pieces of broken rail, we are of the opinion that the defect in the rail was the cause to which the wreck is attributed." GENERAL LEE A braying ass by the name of Heyburn, who has strayed into the United States from the north western prairies somewhere, has been attacking the memory of Robert E. Lee. There are few of his stripe left in the country. The South is back in the Union, and she will not be asked to take a seat below the salt, as "Savoy ard" would say. The people of the North recognize the beauty of Lee's character, and the fact that the Christian greatness, gentlemanliness and tenderness of the two outstanding great leaders of the South in the civil war have been interwoven into the character-fabric of the Sou therner ever since the war. We are saying this to call at tention to an excellent sketch of Lee by Mrs. H. C. Menzies ap pearing] »in the Democrat this week. We are glad the writer brought out the fact that Lee was gentle and magnanimous. The illustration she gives of this quality of the man is a well chosen one. It was Lee who ' picked up a bird's Yiest during a battle and replaced it, with its feathered babies, in the cradling limb from which it had been shot. It was he who wrote a general order forbidding his soldiers to use fence rails for firewood. It was he who as a *boy carried a faithful, sick, old colored slave from Virginia to Georgia to die in his old home and who nursed him until he passed away. In the mad modern rush for money/ let not the boys of the South forget that the highest pinnacle of greatness can never be achieved apart from the ten der heart and the forgiving spirit. In the valuable paper of Mrs. Williams, of Newton, published in the Democrat last week, it was shown that Catawba, in the 60s, sent ten full companies to follow Lee, one of them made up of 17 year old bovs. There is *till a thinning remnant of this thin gray line living in Catawba. By them and their children thi* brief story of Lee's life will not pass unread. 2 CENT AND 1-CENT PA PERS The Philadelphia Record, on the staff of which the editor of the Democrat was privileged once to serve, is the pioneer pen ny newspaper in America. While it had a circulation up towards or above 100,000 it redu ed its price to a penny.. The Charlotte Observer has now reduced its price (except Sunday) to 2 cents and the Charlotte Chronicle to 1 cent. The editor of the Demo crat served on both these pa pers and is always greatiy inter ested in their success. We do not know exactly what circulation these papers have. We presume the Observer has between 10,- 000 and 15,000 and the Chronicle in the neighborhood of 5,000. We are therefore greatly interested in this experiment in North Car olina journalism. The white paper on which the 130,000 or 140,000 daily copies of the Philadelhia Record,is printed, is not paid for by its subscription price or street sales. Its money is, of course, made in its adver tising. The Record has always believed that it paid to cut to a penny, and we hope the Obser ver and News will always be sat isfied that they did the right thing. They are certainly worth more than the price. The Observer, by the way, is much improved by the larger dis play heads which it is now using )n its first page. There are rumors that a num ber of University professors have calls to other colleges in other states at far larger salar ies. The State Legislature can not afford to let other Universi ties rob her of aiiy more Alder mans and Alphonso Smiths. —————■—■ Have you a weak throat? If so you cannot be too careful.

Chapel Hall, Jan. 26. —Nathan- iel J. Cartmell, the University of North Carolina Track Team Coach has just broken the world's record in the 220 yard dash at Liverpool, England. Cartmell was reared in Asheville. Cart mell won the amateur furlong championship of America and the world. Postle held the world's professional title; Cartmell, the world's amateur title. Cartmell challenged Postle and unheralded by the press and with odds against him he defeated the mighty Postle. In a letter to Prof. E. K. Gra ham, Cartmell says that he will sail from Liverpool, January 19 for Philadelphia and that after a sojourn with his old friend Train er Mike Murphy of the Univer- During the long, dreary winter months mothers become tired, worn out, can't eat, sleep or work.

" I was run down and weak from indigestion and general debility, also suffered from vertigo. I saw a cod liver preparation called Vinol adver tised and decided to give it a trial, . a °d the results were most gratifying. After taking two bottles I regained my strength, and am I now feeling unusually well." _ HENRY CUNNINGHAM, Elder Baptist Church, Kinston, N.C. \! nol contains the two most v/orld-famcd tonics—the medicinal, strengthening, body-builciing elements ot Cod Liver Oil and Tonic Iron.

Women as Veil as lon are Hade Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discouragesandlesseusambition; beauty, pft ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out or(^er or ^9 " • ~ Kidney trouble has T] become so prevalent nJLj/ that it is not uncom /y mon or a to be U | born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- « cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may tSKjij have a sample bottle II by mail a pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, Horn* of Swamp-Root. including many of the thousands of testi monial letters received from sufferers who found Swamp-Root to be just the remedy needed.

Current-Events formed the material of an ani mated conversation. Then the hostess spoke in detail about her book, The Girl of the Limberlost, with interesting criticisms and a letter containg valuable informa tion from the authoress herself. On adjournment to the dining room, a brilliant scene was shown. The many colored butterflies and moths which play such an im portant part in this Nature book were flitting over the orange hued shades of candles and over the great centre-piece of narcis sus. Nature scenes .in water colors were the place-cards. Hand-painted flowers ,adorned the bon-bon boxes at each place with butterflies hpvering near. The several courses were thor oughly enjoyed before adjourn ment. The Club meets next with Mrs. Chadwick, Feb. 2. Presbyterian Church -Notes.
