Hickory After
C.&N.W. Shops
Wants Them Rebuilt Here and
Will Offer Inducements
BURNED AT CHESTER
Chamber of Commerce, Retail
Merchants' Association and
City Fathers Take Prompt
Action— The Ideal Place
Hickory want the shops of the
Carolina & Northwestern Rail
road, which were burned dowo
at Chester Monday night. The
news of the disaster to the shops,
which is greatly regretted here,
had hardly reached the town be
fore the members of the Cham
ber of Commerce were at work.
President W. H. Nicholson sent
the following message of sym
pathy to General Manager L. T.
Nichols early in the morning:
"Extend sympathy of Chamber
of Commerce in great disaster.
Command us if we can be of ser
vice.'' , ,
Later in the day there was a
meeting of the directors of the
Chamber and a committe was ap
pointed to confer with Capt.
Nichols and in regard to the lo
cation of the shops. Hickory will
offer inducements to capture this
prize. The committee consists of
Mayor J. D. Elliott, Mr. W. X.
Reid, and Mr. J. A. Martin. The
committee has taken the matter
up with Capt. Nichols and will
see him at the time he appoints.
The Merchants' Association at
their meeting Monday right drew
up the following resolutions:
'The merchants of this city
sympathize with the Carolina and
Northwestern Railroad in the de
struction of its shops by fire. The
C. and N. W. is a great help to
the industrial welfare of this city
and to Western North Carolina,
and their misfortune is our mis
fortune. The undersigned mer
chants will render any assistance
that the time and means will jus
tify in locating the shops in
Hickory and also promise to route
all the freight they possibly can
by the C. &N. W. if the shops
are placed here and to use its
passenger trains in preference to
any other. They would like to
know what inducements it would
take to secure the shops. Hickory,
the best town in North Carolina,
will meet you half way."
This resolution was signed by
41 of the leading merchants of
the city. Gastonia is hot after
the shops, and other places which
would like to have them are
Granite Falls, Newtoh and Lin
colnton. But Hickory is the
ideal place for them and when
the road is extended as it eventu
ally must be across the moun
tains Hickory will be about the
centre of the line.
The Board of Aldermen Tues
day night also extended a cordial
invitation to the shops to come
here.
The Piedmont Foundry and
Machine Co., through Mr. J. H.
P, Cilley offered the use of their
facilities at a merely nominal
cost., and also room for temporary
sidetracks.
Later—Lincolnton gets the
shops temporarily,
Dr. White Sells Out to Dr.
Wood.
An pnnouncement of unusual
interest is that Dr. W. A. White
has sold his dental practice, and
his residence as well, to Dr. I. A.
Wood, of Shelby, the latter be
coming a fixture here for the f
ture. Dr. Wood is a young man
of ability and talent. He re
ceived his education in dentistry
at the Atlanta Dental College
where he was graduated, and
then spent five years in practice
at Shelby. Dr, Wood brings his
wife and two children here and
they will be a valued addition to
the social life of the city. Dr.
Wood will make good any work
for Dr. White's patients, in case
they need to consult him just the
same as if Dr. White was here,
the Democrat merely voices the
sentiment of the city in cordially
welcoming these new comers.
in speeding the parting guest,
it is to be said that Dr. White
greatly endeared himself to
? large circle of friends here. He
is a Christian gentleman, whose
influence in the civic and religi
ous life of the community has
heen only and all for good, and
he will be missed. While quiet
* nci m odest, he always exhibited
strength of character and was a
strong moral force in the com
munity. He is going out of
practice temporarily on account
1 h is health and as he leaves
shes to express his thanks to
THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
the public for the liberal patron
age given him during his stay in
the city of seven years. Dr.
Dr. White is likewise a graduate
of the Atlanta Dental College,
and a man destined to make a
great success in his profession,
wherever he may finally pitch
his tent
! Miss MacMillan's Reading
Friday evening, July 29 Miss
Georgia Ray MacMillan gave a
reading under management of
the Abel A. Shuford Chapter of
the U. D. C. for the benefit of
the Home for Confederate Vete
rans in Catawba county. Hick
ory was unusually fortunate in
enjoying this gifted reader whose
specialties are her original plan
tation stories and imitations of
child life. All enthusiastically
agreed that her superior had nev
er been met if her equal. Mrs.
J. H. Shuford sang "I Love
You," by Sobieski with that
grace and naturalness that always
gives such pleasure. Prof. K.B,
Patterson played on the violin
Chopin's Nocture in E. Flat and
responded with a pleasing en
core. All were delighted to see
Prof! Patterson back again after
his sojourn in the University of
Pennsylvania where he takes
next year his degree of Ph. D.

PUT THE SHOPS AT HICK
ORY. >
Hickory is in earnest Ih going
after the C. &N. W. phops, re
cently burned at Chester. This
is the best place for them. The
most of the breakdowns are up
at this end—the mountain end
of the line. The city Is a central
point—when the line is pushed
through to the West it will be
about the geogi iphical centre of
roadway. It & the town with
most future or e route and will
do anything in ; ;s power to get
the shops.
While the money value of the
shops to Hickory wilj, of course,
be great,, as the pay. rolls are
$99*000 annually, nevertheless,
the greatest gain will* be in the
acquirement of new citizenship.
The Chester Lantern,jn naturally
opposing the removal from its
town, says:
"They are fine citizens, and the re
moval of the shops would mean the
loss to the churches, the schools, the
business men - and everything. The
Lantern has figured that the C. & N.
W. people constitute about 10 per cent,
of the population and also that same
per cent, of church membership, school
attendance and everything else in the
town."
Hickory wants these good peo
ple.

The Batts Corn Crop
Statesville Landmark.
Mr. J. F. Batts, the Wake
county man who made 226£ bush
els of corn on an acre last year,
has a crop this year that is at
tracting attention. A Raleigh
newspaper correspondent who
visited the farm says Batts has
30 acres in one field and the av
erage number of ears to a stalk
is six. A number of stalks have
ten ears and in a seed patch not
far away, of perhaps a half acre
or more, some stalks have 14
ears. All that in the seed patch
comes from a ten-ear stalk and
every grain was selected. Only
perfect ones were planted. It
takes pains to do a thing like
this, but it certainly pays. Farm
ers go from everywhere to see
Batts' corn. Corn-field peas are
growing well among the corn,
which is on sandy land, which a
few years ago could not produce
a quarter of a bale of cotton and
only a few bushels of corn, and
which had a most trifling value.

calls for the construction of about
a mile of new road. A survey
has been made for an amend
ment to the road from Peace
Chapel to lir. Swanson's' shop
about one mile which is on a fine
grade of not over three per cent.
A preliminary survey has also
been made for an amendment on
the Taylorsrille road just south
east of Lower Creek by which a
three per cent, grade can be got
ten up the kill by the construc
tion of less than a mile of road.
These instances show that the
