Road Supervisor Complication
A complication arose when the coun
ty commissioners yesterday started to
elect a road supervisor. A motion to
elect Elias Sigmon, recently resigned
from the board, was made when it was
discovered that the county road law of
1907, passed when M. H. Yount was in
the Legislature, provided that J. U.
Long be road supervisor until the reg
ular election by the commissioners in
May. The commissioners did not elect
in May and meantime Mr. Lone was
elected county treasurer, and could not
hold both offices. It is presumed he
will resign the road position, and
the board will elect at the next meet
iug.

Death of Mr.
John V. Fisher
Another Veteran Has Crossed
Over the River
BORN IN CABARRUS CO.
Bore Himself With Christian
Fortitude Under the Sorrow
Which Came With Death
of All His Children
"Uncle John" Fisher, as he
was affectionately called, died
last Thursday. He had taken a
turn for the better in the early
part of the week but soon lost
what he had gained. The funer
al service was conducted at the
Presbyterian manse Friday morn
ing by Rev. J. G. Garth, assisted
by Rey. Dr. J. L. Murphy and
Rev. J. D. Harte. Mr. Garth
furnishes the following tribute:
John V. Fisher was born in
Cabarrus couny, N. C., on March
23, 1832. His early years were
spent in that county, where most
of his relatives lived and died, in
and near the neighborhood of old
Poplar Tent church, one of the
earliest organizations of Presby
terian churches in the state. Mr.
Fisher was a member of the Lu
theran church until after mar
riage with Jane Young, who was
a Presbyterian, and her husband
joined with her. His marriage
took place in 1858, and the couple
lived happily and lovingly togeth
er until eight years ago, when
his faithful helpmeet was called
to her reward, after they had
buried all four of their little chil
dren, the oldest of which only
reached the age of two and a half
years. The loss of the children
was a sad blow to both, but the
wife, being the weaker vessel
failed before the multiplied sor
row, and Mr. Fisher doubled his
strength to support his wife in
her grief and sadness. He was
a tender husband,forgetting him
self in his faithful ministrations
to his stricken wife. In his de
lirium, during his last illness, his
mind travelled the old days over,
and he was heard to say, "That
was a sweet little girl I married
40 years ago."
Mr. Fisher was a Confederate
soldier. He went to the war in
the summer of 1862 and served in
Company F of the 58th N. C. reg
iment, voluntary cavalry, and did
his duty as a soldier with that
high ideal of faithfulness that
marked all his work of life. His
regiment was disbanded at Lee's
surrender, at Appomattox court
house, and Mr. Fisher walked
home to Cabarrus county to be
gin life oyer with the wife who
was awaiting his return.
Mr. Fisher moved to Hickory
in 1877, and has continuously
made this his home since that
time. The body of his beloved
wife lies in the Poplar Tent
graveyard, with those of the chil
dren. After the loss of his own,
it was his pleasure to take into
his home the children of his
wife's sister, Mrs. Ury, as their
parents were both dead, and he
was like a father to them in their
orphaned estate, and cared for
them and reared them as tender
ly as he would have reared his
own..
In all his life Mr. Fisher has
exhibited the finest traits of char
acter. A gentleman of rare in
stinct he was always thoughtful
of others. Generous, benevolent
and kind, no man knows the
quiet benefactions that came
from his hand, often in self
sacrifice, but always with genuine
sympathy. He was truthful,
faithful, cheerful, pure in heart,
and all his neighbors testify that
he was a good man. He was a
tower of strength to kinsman,
friend and neighbor and hospi
table to strangers and wayfarers.
He was as modest as a woman,
unobtrusive, self-restrained, a
homelover and home keeper. And
yet withal, a quaint, rare humor
attended all his movements, and
his pastor and friends in his com
pany and listen to his dry wit,
his sallies and retorts.
Though by temperament he
was self-distrustful and subject
to gloomy moments of spiritual
despondency, yet he had a strong
faith in God, and relied wholly
on the blood of Christ for cleans
ing, His heart was fixed in
God, hoping in His mercy and
His eternal promises.
He was a Christian, loved the
family altar, and the worship of
God's house and was always
found there when health permit
ted.
|. His body was taken to Poplar
Tent to be interred beside his
wife and children, there to await
the coming of Christ. A good
man has gone ahead. Let us
follow in his footsteps.

There is a good deal of talk to
be heard about fid Cline retiring
from the judgeship race in the

steady in the boat, boys.
The Democrat is publishing in
this issue the report for the sec
ond month of the Creamery. It
shows that progress is being
made. Duetto the untiring ef
forts of Mr. Oliver Moore, new
routes are constant being added.
One has been added on Hickory
R. F. D route No. 1, which goes
out to the Foard, Whisnant& Co.
store, and Mr. R. O. Ramsour
has taken charge of the cream
wagon here. Mr. H. A. Bolick,
who has been sending the cceam
from only one cow to the cream
ery got a check last month for
$8.28.
"Watt Shuford has made one
of the best members the Board
of Agriculture has ever had. He
ought by all means jto go be con
tinued on the board," said Mr.
Robert Scott, of Alamance, who
made one of the agricultur
al speeches ever heird in this
section at the institute at the
Foard, Whisnant & Co. store.
(Mr. Scott, by the way, has got
the making of a fine Commission
er of Agriculture in him). What
Mr. Scott said of Mr. Shuford is
true. When the latter speaks to
the farmers he modestly declares
that he cannot claim to be a
farmer, as he does not make his
living out of the soil but is only
"an agriculturalist." Mr.Shuford,
however, is doing more for farm
ing progress in Catawba county
than any other man, barring,
maybe, Bob Shufefd, John Rob
inson, Dr. Foard, Henry Lutz and
that Dutch Dairy Farm crowd,
and maybe one or two others who
are actually proving that the
right kind of farming is profita
ble. It was Mr. Shuford who
led in organizing the cooperative
creamery and whose keen busi
ness acumen is making it a won
derful suyess from the jump.
Creamery Report for July
The Catawba Creamery Com
pany makes the following state
ment for July:
Sale 3 for Butter, etc. $1215.12
Butter in course of sale 349.50

ceived 13,965 lbs.
Amount of Butter Fat 4,066.90

lbs. at 31c. $689.25
Customers Butter Fat,
1843.51 lbs. at 30c. 553.06
$1242.31
We increased our butter fat
for July over June 1000 pounds.
We feel confident that if we can
get as much as 8000 pounds of
butter fat a month, patrons will
net 33c a pound for same. Every
patron should use some of his
time in helping to push the
creamery along so we can get
better results.
We expect to be able to take
up the egg proposition about
September 1 and market our pa
trons'eggs. We feel sure we can
net them more than they have
been getting. There will be a
meeting of everybody that is in
terested in the creamery some
time during the month of August
of which notice will be given
through the columns of this and
other county papers.

MR. JOYNER'S SPEECH
He, Mr. Self and Others De
lighted a Vast Crowd at
R. L. Shu ford's Farm —
A Great Day
Two fine addresses, one by Mr
W. A. Self, of Hickory, and the
other by Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction J. Y. Joyner, of
Raleigh, were the leading fea
tures of a picnic by tbe Farmers'
Union at the farm of Mr. R. L.
Shuford Saturday. An immense
crowd was present from every
part of Catawba and Lincoln
counties—a crowd hard to esti
mate because it was always scat
tered but which must have been
between 700 and 1000 people.
The speaking was held in one
of the great barns on the place,
in which seats had been placed,
and the sweet smell of hay, new
mown and old mown, floated on
the breezes which came over
through the woods and the corn,
while the neighing of the horses
and the lowing of the must
have been very much like it was
in the day in which Saul cap
tured Agag.
Hon. A. C. Shuford was mas
ter of ceremonies and introduced
the speakers of the day neatly,
interspersing his remarks with
the wisdom which has come to
to him from a ripe experience
and a careful study of the ques
tions of the day, especially with
regard to agriculture. He laid
stress upon cooperation, without
which the farmer could not hope
to contend with the forces at
work in society today.
Mr. Self made a characteristi
cally bright and witty speech. He
humorously claimed to be a
farmer because, he said, he felt
that he could give the farmers
points on sowing wild oats and
raising cain. Growing serious,
he plead eloquently for the old
fashioned things—old fashioned
honesty, old fashioned courtesy,
old fashioned kindness and sym
pathy, and even old fashioned
love-making, for he could not
stand for the "Kissless court
ship." He bespoke sympathy for
the poor devil who had gone to
the bad and got into prison—of
ten perhaps because his training
and environment had not been as
fortunate as some more favored.
Rev. Mr. Townsend, of Lin
colnton, followed in a bright
speech in which he showed him
self a philosopher as well as a
preacher, and then the crowd
partook of the dinner which was
served in the grove near the
branch.
After dinner Mr. Joyner spoke
on education, showing its import
ance first in the material matter
of money-making and then as
related to manhood and to mas
tery. The development of one
little child's mind is of transcen
dent importance. Massachusetts
has ten times the money of North
Carolina and about the least per
cent, of illiteracy. Our state
with one exception has the larg
est percentage of illiteracy. . Yet
in natural resources North Caro
lina far excels the New England
States. Education has enabled
her to take our pig iron at S2O a
ton. and sell it back to us in the
shape of horse shoes at S6O a ton;
or to take the same ton at the
same price and sell it back to us
in the shape of watch springs at
S9BO a ton. The speaker plead
with parents not to keep the
child away from school—not
to rob him of his rights in the
preparation time of his life.
The speaker told of the effort
to have the next Legislature ap
propriate $50,000 for agricultural
high schools. Each county may
have one by voting a special tax
to raise $2,500 to which the State
adds another $2,500, Or if the
county raises more the state will
add more. These will be train
ing schools for the farm and
feeders to the A. and M. College.
Mr. Shuford said that the
Farmers' Union was back of the
state in this effort for the agri
cultural high school.
Mr. W. J. Shuford told of the
work of the cooperative creamery
and invited the farmers to come
into it from everywhere.
Mr. R. L. Shuford has by his
remarkable farming has placed
himself in the front rank of
North Carolina and Southern
farmers, and his beautiful farm
was an inspiration to all who saw
it. Some other time the Demo
crat expects to have a story to
tell about it.

Alfalfa Hay from Oklahoma
Fredrick, Okla., Daily Enterprise.
Three car loads of alfalfa have been
shipped to the City Feed Co., of Hick
ory, by B. B. Blackwelder. This is the
second shipment of hay made to North
Carolina within the fast few weeks,
showing that there is a growing demand
for alfalfa in North Carolina.
The three cars will carry at least 40
tons of hay as they are all large cars
and heavily loaded," the bales being
especially tight for shipment. There is
something good in store for the North
Carolina'horses, as Oklahoma alfalfa,
partktolarly the hay grown in this sec
tion, is everywhere considered tbe best
hay grown.
This hay was bought through exper
ienced dealers and they say it is
choice fine stemmed, one car being as
fine as they ever saw.
