Why We Lost at Gettysburg.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
In the interesting letter by
Rev. R. L. Fritz in last week's
Democrat, writing of Pickett's
famous charge at Gettysburg, he
asks "Why did not Lee push on
beyond the town and finish the
job by capturing the enemy?"
And several other "whys."
In McClure's Magazine for
March 1908, in a sketch of Gen.
Pickett written by his wife, oc
curs this paragraph which is a
pretty good reply to the ques
tions of Mr. Fritz: "At the wed
ding breakfast given for General
Magruder's neice at the mansion
of the governor general of Cana
da, the governor asked Pickett
to what he attributed the failure
of the Confederates at Gettys
burg. With a twinkle in his
eyes, he replied: "I think prin
cipally to the Yankees."

An interesting thing has oc
curred in Mr. J. S. Stanbery's
well. He has had to abandon its
use on account of petroleum get
ting in it so strong that it renders
the water unfit for use. Mr. Stan
bery says: "I first thought that
some one had purposly thrown
kerosene in my well but find on
investigating that there is too
much oil for some one to put it
in, there is usually 15 to 20 feet
of water in the well and the oil
seems to be all through the
water." He says futher: "I drew
some of the water from the well
and put a paper on it and then
set fire to the paper and it burned
readily." -
Mr. Stanbery is very much
interested in his well and Will
have it tested soon.
Western Tour Oxford Orphan
age Singing Class of 1910
After almost a month at Oxford, fol
lowing its first or eastern tour, the Ox
ford Orphanage Singing Class will,
about July 21st, start upon its second
or western tour.
The concerts of the children are of
great merit, interesting, refreshing,
helpful.
The Oxford Orphanage is now at
tempting to care for about 330 of the
homeless children of our State and to
prepare them for useful lives. Since
its establishment in 1872 it has been a
greatly used agency in the salvation of
souls, in the rescue of lives for service
to God and humanity.
The visits of these bright, attractive,
well trained children, who give a de
lightful concert, cannot fail to deepen
interest in this institution and in the
other splendid orpanages of North
'Carolina.
| COMMENT "1
THE PIEDMONT AS K
FARMING SECTION.
In Rural Life, a well edited
farm paper published at Roches
ter, N. Y., there is an artiele on
advice to farm seekers, in which
the writer, Elmer E. Reynolds,ad
vises Northern farmers who think
of buying farms in the South
not make their prospecting tours
in the fall or winter. It is eas
ier to leave home then and they
naturally desires to see what the
Southern climate is like in the
winter.
The summer, however, is the
time in which the writer thinks
the prospector should spy out
the land. Then the crops are
growing and a better idea of the
productiveness of the soil Can be
had.
This writer gives good advice
throughout his article. He knows
bad and good farming lands
when he sees them. He speaks
well of tne lands in this section
and refers to Hickorv's new
Creamery, which is already doing
so well. Says he:
In portions of Virginia and North
Carolina there are many farms fSr sale
at extremely low prices, and when
listed in the real estate dealers' cata
logues they are very tempting to the
farm seeker. Some of these farms have
been sold a dozen or more times with
in the last twenty years. They have
been cropped and fertilized with com
mercial chemical manures until the
humus has become 'completely ex
hausted and they refuse longer to yield
average crops. The farms caq be re
stored to a high state of productiveness
by the proper management. But for the
average farmer from the North, fifty
acres of improved, well-kept land near
a railway depot, school and churoh, will
prove a better investment than three
hundred acres of humus-exhausted land
several miles back from the railroad,
at the same money.
In the Piedmont region of North
Carolina and Virginia where diversified
farming has been carried oo for many
years, the farms generally are in a good
average condition of productiveness,
and few are for sale at bargain prices.
While the yield of some of the staple'
crops may be smaller than those of the
same products on the better class of
Northern farms, these Piedmont lands
are rapidly improved by green manur
ing and the use of barnyard manures
and are capable of yielding excellent
crops. The agriculture of this part of
the South has made wonderful advance
ment in the last ten years. The surface
is rolling, rising into ridges in the up
per Piedmont near the mountain foot
hills. It is a pleasant country and pos
sesses many advantage for the farmer.
In 1900 there was less than a half dozen
dairies in the Piedmont plateau of North
Carolina that were making a business
.of producing butter for the market by
modern methods. Now dairying is a
thriving industry in that section. At-
Hickory, one of the flourishing young
cities of the upper Piedmont, there is a
creamery in full operation, supplied
with milk from several pure-bred dairy
herds that are the equal of the best
dairies of New York and Pennsylvania.
There is no better farming sec
tion in the South outside the
Cumberland and Shenandoah
Valleys, perhaps, than here in
the Piedmont, at least so far as
its possibilities are concerned.
Northern farmers who are con
templating coming here would
do well to write to the Chamber
of Commerce,
The Republicans named a very
good ticket at Newton Saturday
but it could not improve upon
that named by the Democrats.
The weakest man on the former
is the candidate for sheriff. While
Mr. Leonard is a clever gentle
man, it seems to be the prevail
ing opinion in the county that he
lost his nerve when it came to en
forcing the prohibition law and
the laws against liquor. We have
heard men who said they were
independents declare they would
not vote for him for this reason.
While Mr. Lee Hewitt is not a
prohibitionist, we are informed
that he declares "his purpose of
enforcing the anti-liquor laws as
earnestly as any other laws upon
the statute books. It is this very
fear to enforce the . anti-liquor
laws whicli brings prohibition in
to disrepute, Catawba county is
a prohibition county and she will,
not rest satisfied till she has a
sheriff who will enforce the law.

Kitchin of North Carolina, de
liver to some 20,000 people one
of the most eloquent and effective
addresses which has been heard
in these parts since Henry Grady
delivered his immortal message.
* * * *
"The South, Governor Kitchin
said, was making wonderful
progress educationally, and in
dustrially and to show how it
was getting along industrially he
told the following story of two
Southern gentlemen who met an
Englishman in London,
"The talk drifted to things of
magnitude and mammoth size
when the Englishman observed
that the United was a
great country, but it had few
things of really mammoth
proportions in it.
"One of the Americans said he
was from Hyde countv, North
Carolina, and spoke of a dairy
owned by one Colonel Henrv Clay
Carter. This dairy produced, said
the Southerner, 1,000,000 pounds
of butter and 1,000,000 quarts of
cream a week.
"When"the Englishman seemed
to doubt the truth of the assertion
the American called upon his
companion for corroboration of
his statement. Well,' replied the
other Hyde county man, 'of
course \ know Colonel Henry
Clay Carter, and I have heard
about his dairy. I dont know how
much butter and cream it pro
duces, but I do know that he runs
12 sawmills all with buttermilk.'

Mr. Click Struck
By Prof. Heafener
Editor of Lincoln Times Attacked
By School Superintendent
RESULT OF CRITICISMS
Former Hickory Editor Had
Been Caustic in Comments
on Handling of School
Funds
It is reported here that one
day last last week Editor J. F.
Click, of the Lincoln Times, was
beaten pretty badly by County
Supt. Heafener at Lincolnton. It
is said Mr. Click had accused him
of misappropriating school funds,
that he had sent a statement of
expenditures to the editor de
signed to correct the statements
with a demand that the at
tacks cease; that Mr. Click
continued to make them and that
Mr. Heafener met him near the
Times office, that some hot words
passed during which Mr. Click
was knocked down by the sup
erintendent, who had drawn blood
before a policeman and citizen
could interfere.
The following is in part Mr.
Click's own account in this
week's Times:
As we walked up and met, we
said "good morning, Professor. He
spoke, and then said, "will you publish
m your paper that I did not steal that
money? ' We told him yes, and added
.we had never said any one had stolen
it, but had said no one believed
any one had stolen it. He then said,
"you have treated me mean," and
struck us on the head and face several
times. Whether he knocked us down
or we stumbled, any way we fell and
he on us. He struck us several times
after we fell, before the police came
and took him off.
As to our wounds, we had a black face,
and head was sore and gave us much
pain. We are still suffering with it. It
caused excitement in the home and a
physician was called in. But we believe
we shall eventually get over it, and
continue to ruh The Times as an earnest
advocate of the peoples' rights, based
upon truth, horse-sense and corn field
logic.
vVe were both tried before Squire
Padgett Saturday morning. Mr. Heafner
swore it away from Mayor Mouser, be
cause he was a Republican. We had
more faith in human justice and let the
Democrat court try us. He put a penny
and cost on us botn alike. We took an
appeal, but the Square finally took it off
of us.
Reformed Chjurch Notes
The Educational and Mission
ary Campaign which was con
ducted throughout the Reformed
church in the state came to a
close last Sunday night. As far
as reports have been recieved
the audience at the different
places were fair, the collections
reasonable and the interest man
ifested great. The plan was re
ceived with such great favor that
there is a general desire to have
such a cpnvass annually.
Dr. Murphy went to Maiden
last Sunday night and preached
the sermon at the ordination of
licentiate C. C. Wagoner. Dr.
Foil and Kev. W. W. Rowe were
the other members of the com
mittee who took part in the or
dination. Mr.Wagoner is a native
of Cabarrus. He was graduated
from the Central Theological
Seminary of Dayton, Ohio. He
becomes the pastor of the Lincoln
charge, living at Maiden.
Miss Lottie Albea delighted
the audience last Sunday with
her singing.
The pastor, Dr, Murphy, will
preach next Sunday morning and
night. The public is invited.

The Hickory Democrat recent

the object being to consider the

consideration. It is a pleasure
to learn from the last issue of
the Democrat that its efforts
have brought forth fruit and the
citizens along the line of the pro
posed highways will likely hold a
good roads conference in Hickory
this summer. Caldwell county
has numerous good roads enthusi
