One Dollar a year. : : Established 1899 Tsis Creamery , Begins Work Chief Dairyman Rails Makes Able Opening Speech SEND IN CLEAN CREAM A bunch of Horns and Hides is not really a Cow-Importance of Breeding Emphasized —Eggs in Cold Storage Mr. B. R. Rawls, chief of the dairy division of the United States Department ot' Agriculture, ad dressed a large audience of far mers at the new creamery which ; was formally opened Saturday, | although it had been running! since the previous Tnursday. An i immense throng of farmers and | farmers' wives and children vis-! ited the creamery during the day j to see it work and altogether the day was an auspicious one in Ca tawba county. Mr, Rawls is a South Carolina ; man and knows the dairying! business from Ato Z. The sue- [ cess he achieved is responsible i for the position he holds, and he! gave the farmers here the bene- i fit of his fine experience. Hej warned the co-operative cream- j ery members against sending! unclean and unsweet cream to j the creamery. He compared such i raw material to a drop of ink in j a glass of water. i He said that 300 cows which j gave 300 pounds of butter a year; each would insure the success of | the creamery; and there are 500 j good milkers promised to this: creamery. He alleged that a perambulating bunch of horns and hides is not really a cow, and said that about three-fourths of j the cows in the State ought to be shot. The records of the cow must be keDt, and a 300-pound j cow would increase to a 400-pound cow in several generations. He j emphasized breeding. j Amongst other things he said the egg industry ought to be fostered. In ths ccl J storage of the creamery here the eggs could j be placed. The hungry masses of the great cities are now fed by eggs that are kept in cold storage all summer. E?gs last; January sold in New York City at 60 cents a dozen, They bring | from 30 to 40 to 50 cents in this j wav and this is the chance for ; Catawba farmers to pay for their creamery with eggs alone. Mr. Egan of the State Depart ment of Agriculture followed Mr. Rawls in a fine talk in which he gave the farmers many good' points. Mr. C.P. Hassel, of Chambers-, burg, in the noted Cumberland I Valley, is the new butter maker j and is well pleased with the beginning made. The cream! wagon runs two routs, one; toward the Dutch Dairy Farm, : the Robinson, Propst and other farms, and the other rou!e toward the Catawba river. The Creamery is receiving 350 pounds of cream a day and is turning out 200 pounds of butter a day at the present. The butter goes to customers previously spplied bv the individual dairies. The outfit which came from a "promoted" creomery at Mad ison, Ga. is practically new and Mr. Hassell is pleased with it. Church of the Ascension Service next Sunday at 11 a. m.

Immediately following the kersouse of Judge Clark, of The Statesville Landmark, into the Presbyterian pool, comes El der Banks, of The Hickory Dem ocrat, testing the depth of the Methodist water. He is ferninst women in the pulpit and backs up the Conference in its action on that matter. And if ever Roosevelt had a disc'ple, be has one in the editor of the Hick ory Democrat. It is a broad prin ciple that Elder Banks argues from—"the unfortunate tenden cy of the times, which means less homes, less babies, less big, old-time families, less all round j happiness, less birthrate and therefor* less population and less hope for the State's future, less of the soft, sweet dependence of woman upon man and less of the strong, chivalrous protection by man of the weaker sex." Isn't that a bold front for mere man to put up against the serried j ranks of aggressive woman-kind?! But The Democrat tries still deeper water when it says that "the Conference would have been playing the role of blind Samson in the temple of Dagon, if it should have changed the 4- year itinerancy." Banks, how ever, always did love an argu ment and this time he is apt to get his fill. State News. Dr. Wm. P. Few, professor of history at Trinity, succeeds Bish op Kilgo as president.

To be at Newton Tuesday, July 12 The Time and Place of the 13th Judicial Convention MR. CLINE IS STRONG Hickory's Able Young Attor ney Enthusiastically Backed by Catawba's 39 votes- Others in Race The executive comnittee of the Thirteenth Judicial distiict met at Newton Tuesday and ap pointed the judicial convention to be held at Newton on July 12th, two days before the State convention at Charlotte in order that the delegates to Charlotte can take in both conventions. The mountain men from Mitchell, Watauga and other counties asked for this arrangement. There were present at the meeting Chairman George Mc- Corkle of Newton; and the fol lowing committeemen. A. M. Vannoy of Wilftes; Edmund Jones of Caldwell and Mr. Hedrick, of Alexander, proxy for J. W. Gwaltney. Chairman McCorkle held proxies for J. C. Fletcher of Watauga and W, L. Lambert Of Mitchell. Mr. Vannoy of Wilkes favored Lenoir for the place but this would haue subjected the Mitch ell degegates to inconvenience, making them change cars at Hickory. There is likely to be quite a contest. The three strongest candidates are predicted to be Edmund Jones, of Lenoir, if he gets the primary nomination in Caldwell in which he is running against Lawrence Wakefield and its said the contest is likely to be very close; iß.Finley of Wilkes, and E. B. Cline, of Hickorv. L. D. Lowe, of Watauga is al so a candidate but after a few complimentary votes from his county and Mitchell is likely to drop out of sight. The voting strength is as fol lows: Catawba 39, Wilkes 32, Caldwell 30, Alexander 16, M'tch ell 12, Watauga 20. Hickorv People at A. and M. Commencement Mrs. Carrie Gamble and Miss Francis Lentz attended the A. and M. commencement being guests at the home of Mrs. J. W. j Bergtholdt at West Raleigh. On their way home they visited at Hilbboro and Mebane where Miss Lentz remains for a time the guest of Miss Mary Scott. Mrs. Gamble is enthusiastic over the Agricultural and Me chanical College. The sermon was preached by Dr. Howard of Norfolk and the address was by Richmond Peprson Hobson who spoke of the United States as the world's granary in the fu ture. President Hill in his address on graduation day said that the col lege was 21 years old. When it started it had one building, 4 teachers and 43 students. Now it has 40 buildings, 47 in the fac ulty and 567 studtnts. Such progress could not have been ac complished but for the State's appropriations. But that it was worth while to the state, Presi dent Hill said, as the 53 gradu-' ates rose to their feet: "In the name of the college I give to the State these young men." Hickory's quota at the college this year last session was Frank W. McComb, Orin Sigmon, Henry Clay and Carroll Bost, all of whom are making fine rec ords. Then, too, Hickory gave to the college Prof. Wiley T. Clay who is now in his eighth year there. Mr. Bergtholdt will return as Y. M. C. A. secretary and is re joicing that in September he is to begin building an elegant Assocation building on the campus. The farm, the dairy, the beau tiful cattle were all enjoyed by the Hickory visitors.

COMMENT [ CATAWBA WANTS CLINE Catawba county has been mod est in what she asks in the wav of poMtical favors. She has al ways, however, furnished a good sized vote to the candidates for various honors from other coun ties. This year she is asking the judgeship nomination for her able son, Edward B. Cline. We have already enumerated his fit ness to wear the ermine. It is nothing but just for the other counties, of the district to yield to Catawba's request this time. But, besides this, Mr. Cline is in the ideal city of the district for a judge to reside in. Hickory is the railroad centre of the Ca tawba Valley. To go to Lenoir or Boone to find a judge, a dis trict lawyer from Mitchell would have to change cars here. For him or for a lawyer from Watau ga, Caldwell or Catawba to go to Wilkesboro to find a judge to is sue a writ, he would be seriously inconvenienced. The Mitchell lawyer could to go Raleigh easier. An able lawyer in the most ac cessible town. Give us Mr. Cline. WADE HARRIS AS A CHURCHMAN Since Wade Harris, of the Charlotte Observer, quit clipping his editorials out of the Washing ton Star and got to writing them himself, he has waxed sassy. He has had a chip on his shoul der for some time. He is trying to get us into a row with our Methodist brethren, and in the attempt he gets mixed on his ec clesiastical terminology. For in stance he says: "Immediately following the kersouse of Judge Clark, of the Statesville Landmark, into the Presbyterian pool, comes Elder Banks, of the Hickory Democrat, testing the depth of the Metho dist water." "The Presbyterian pool," and "the depth of the Methodist wa ter"! Man alive! Presbyterians don't have pools and Methodists don't take to deep water. You are in more danger of a church row than we are. Wade. It'§ th§ Baptists who travel the river route. HICKORY-LENOIR ROAD The Caldwell County Good Roads Association has been or ganized at Granite Falls and vicinity. Mr. J. M. Allred is one of the prime movers, and Mr. John L. Sigmon is treasurer. One of the prime objects is to get a better road between Le noir and Hickory. It is proposed to get at least 100 men to join, paving $lO membership fee, and devote this to building this road. A thousand dollars would go a a long way to putting this road in good shape. It is proposed to spend at least S2OO on the stretch of road immediately beyond the Catawba river bridge on the Caldwell side. It is also desired that Hickory people get in the game and help to improve the road on the Catawba side. The Democrat has undertaken to help Mr. Allred and the new as sociation. There is a bunch of folks here who are interested in the Hickory-Granite Falls-Lenoir road. Come into the Democrat office or call up over the 'phone, and say if they will join this as sociation the necessary $lO worth. Let's get busy. "It cured me," or "It sa/ed the life of my child," are the expxesssions y°u hear every day about Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

The secret of the success of Chamberlain's Coric, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is that it cures. Sold by Grimes Drug Co. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO R I A The Divinity of Jesus Christ Able Sermon by Re?. C. P. Moore, of California ■ VERY SON OF GOD Christ the Highest Manifesta tation of God to Man-All the World's Sorrows Hide in His Wounds N Rev. C. P. Moore, of Oakland, Cal.. preached at the Methodist church Sunday morning, taking as his theme the divinity of Christ. After bringing, greetings from Rev. G. W. Callahan and Rev. Mr. Fry, of California, he referred touchingly to his own conversion at the altar of the very church in which he was now preaching. His text was: "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." Showing that Chris tian faith centers not in creed or denomination but in a Person, he went on to show that it is a living reality in the world and injects into our nature the power of an .unseen life, shaping our lives and controlling our destinies. In convincing argument the | speaker said it is not enough to say that Jesus is the Supreme Example. He does not sit in a row with Plato. Socrates, Seneca, Confucius and the rest. His birth is an incarnation; not an evolutionary ascent but a life which came from a higher to a lower—God stooping to human estate. His life was the supreme manifestation of God to man. "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." The death of Christ was more than the ordinary human death. Socrates died with the hemlock cup in his hands and a joke on his lips. That cry of agony from the cross and all the events of His crucifixion speak of an element of suffering such as no merely human being ever en dured. Socrates taught a beautiful life that he could not live him self. Jesus lived what he taught. We hear much about the Sermon on 'the Mount but no man can live up to that teaching of turn ing the other cheek, etc., unless filled with the Holy Spirit which Jesus gives to those who accept Him. No attempt is here made to give the speaker's entire argu ment, The solace which suffer ing humanity has found in Christ; the spiritual miracles in trans formed lives, prove Him to be the Son of God. The speaker quoted from Ecce Homo: "All human sorrows hide themselves in the wounds of Jesus Christ and all human self-denial leans upon His cross." In closing the preacher drew a thrilling picture of the returning Christ coming for His people and to set up His Kingdom. Rev. R. A. Lapsley, Jr., pastor of the Presbyterian churches of Newton and Sherrill's Ford, and Miss Katherine Abernethy wer« married Thursday morning at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs.T.R.

Presbyterian Church Notes. The picnic was a great suc cess. The place, the day, the dinner, all were perfect. The tables groaned beneath the pro ducts of Hickory's best cooks. The children had the gayest time, not a boy was lost, and the only things that suffered were the p3or crawfish taken away to home museums. But think of the spring chickens! Some just sprouting an ambitious tail, and practicing a promising tail quoth the raven—Never more. We were sorry you were there, but we tried to not let it depress us too much. The pastor will preach at the regular hours next Sunday. There will be children's lec ture and chorus class Thursday at 4 p. m., in the church.
