BALLOTS CAST WERE 701
One ol Hardest Fought Battles
of the Year, Ended in Victory
for Catawba County's
Candidate
The nomination of Mr. Ed
ward B. Cline, of this city, for
judge of the Superior court from
the 13th district, was announced
in the bulk of the issue of this
paper last Thursday. The paper
was held till night to get in the
news of the convention.
The choice of Mr. Cline ended
one of the hardest battles ever
fought out inside the party in
this part of the state, yet fought j
as Democrats fight each other
orderly, obediently to the state
committee rules, submissive to
the will of the majority, harmo
niously.
The convention was held in Mr.
W. A. Stroup's hall, kindly ten
dered by him free of charge al
though he is a Republican. This
hall, by the way, is a great as
set to Hickory, for, if it should
be completely seated, it would
accommodate 1500 people. It is
full of windows ana is brilliantly
lighted at night.
Chairman J. L. Gwaltney, of
Alexander, again presided and
his decisions were always made
with deliberation and reasons
were given for them. The first
vote was the 482 nd and stood as
it did at the adjournment at
Newton: Cline 43, Finley 54,
Jones 51. Watauga was the
first county to try to break. On
the 519 th ballot Capt. E. F. Lov
ill asked permission for the Wa
tauga delegates to vote individu
al preferences. There were 8
Jones men on the delegation
though the secondary instruc
tions of the Watauga convention
had been 5 for Jones. 15 for Fin
ley. The primary instructions
were 20 for L. D. Lowe, who
dropped out before the lOOdth
ballot. Capt Lovill contended
there could be no secondary in
structions, as the State commit
tee only provided for primary in
structions. R. N. Hackett and
W. W. Barber, of Wilkes, vigor
ously com batted the idea of a
change of the ballot, and the
chair ruled that if there had been
any secondary instructions the
convention could not go back of
the Watauga convention which
made them.
The vote then continued again
as follows:
Alexander: Cline 4, Finley 6.
Jones 6.
Caldwell: Jones 30.
Catawba: Cline 39
Mitchell: Finley 2. Jones 9.
Watauga: Finley 15, Jones 5.
Wilkes. Finley 31, Jones 1.
Alexander created a little di
version by casting her full
strength several times for her
favorite sons, J. H. Burk and
Chairman Gwaltney.
At supper time the convention
was still deadlocked and ad
journed till 8 o'clock.
Chairman Lambert, of Mitch
ell, made a motion that all dele
gates be released to vote as they
chose. This created a great deal
of argument and the delegations
retired toconsiderit but the move
was withdrawn.
The request of the Watauga
delegates to be allowed to vote
according to preferences again
came up and the chair renewed
his former ruling. Mr. E. S.
Coffey took an appeal, saying
that he meant no disrespect to
the chair by so doing. The chair
was sustained 79 to 69.
Alexander finally took the four
votes she had been giving Cline
away from him and divided them
between Finley and Jones, so
that Cline was now receiving on
ly the vote of his own county but
it was the biggest vote cast by
any county. Still the Catawba
delegation stood loyally by their
man.
A little past 10 o'clock the
700dth ballot was taken and this
was followed by a recess. At its
conclusion when the vote was be
ing taken Caldwell asked to be
given time, and when her name
was again called by Secretary
Mark Squires in stentorian
tones, and she replied "Cline
30," there was a great demon
stration of cheering by the Ca
tawba delegation.
There was feverish interest till
the ballot was completed, which
gave Cline 81 votes and homi
nated him, when the whole con
vention broke out into" cheering
once more.
rHE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
Besides Catawba's usual 39,
Cline had got 7 votes from
Mithell and 5 from Watauga,
which gave him 81, and only 75
were necessary to a choice.
G. N. Ragland, of Mitchell,
for solicitor was nominated over
J. H. Burk, of Alexander.
The Chamber of Commerce
looked carefully after the com
fort of the convention, providing
lemonade, ice water and cigars.
Mr. W. J. Shuford set the dele
gates up to ten gallons of butter
milk from Catawba's young but
famous creamery.
"Score cards'' for the conven
tion Were provided with the
compliments of the Hickory
Democrat.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of
Your Troubles
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that it
is only a muscular weakness; when uri
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with
all the other symptoms of kidney dis
orders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles
or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's
disease. The best remedy to use is
Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills
which are caused by weak or diseased
kidneys. Residents of this vicinity
are constantly testifying to permanent
cures.
A. A. Craig, Merchant, Cottage
Ave., Lenoir, N. C., says; "I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and was well
pleased with the results. I suffered
for some time from a pain across my
kidneys and a general feeling of lan
guor and depression. I finally learned
of Doan's Kidney Pills and was so fav
orably impressed that I procured a box
and began their use. I felt a great
deal better in a short time. I know
that Doan's Kidney Pills are a reliable
remeey."

HICKORY, N. C., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 1. 1910.
Where a Child's
Play Is Guided
The Great Advantage in the
Kindergarten '
HICKORY HAS GOOD ONE
Mrs. H. D. Abernethy Points
Out the Advantages of Such
an Institution to the Lit
tle Children
As ray Kindergarten opens on Sep
tember 19, I should like to say a word
to the people of Hickory concerning
the scientific basis upon which Kinder
garten is founded.
In looking up information for this ar
ticle. I find the ground has been cov
ered in a most comprehensive manner
by Hortense Orcutt and I shall quote
from her freely. She says: "A com
mon objection to the Kindergarten is
that it is a place where children do
nothing but play.
The truth of the matter is that the
Kindergarten is a place where chil
dren's play is directed and utilized for
educational ends. If we stop for a mo
ment to think about it, this fact con
stitutes the strongest scientific argu
ment in favor or the Kindergarten.
State it scientifically and see how it
reads.
Children are tremendously active.
The natural expression of that activity
is play. Here we have a great natural
force. Shall we utilize it for wise
ends, or shall we substitute an artificial
power alien to the nature of the object
upon which it is supposed to work? The
answer is obvious.
"The miller looks to his mill race, the
engineer replenishes his coal bin, the
motorman sees to his current, the sail
or regards the quarter of the wind."
And we as educators, if we are wise,
will work with nature and not against
On visiting a Kindergarten you should
be able to observe certain things; A.
Kindergarten should feel happy. You
I shouid be conscious of this from the
first moment that you step into the
room.
Happiness is a moral quality and
comes only through the right ordering
i of our relations with others.
The Kindergarten age is from 4 to 6,
but often laps from 3 1-2 to 7. - Chil
dren of this age easily cry and quarrel.
To have eighteen or twenty little
children working and playing together
and happy is a great moral achieve
ment,
A Kindergarten should be a busy
place. Children learn to do through
doing. Directed activity, not sup
pressed activity, is what we want. The
normal child is very active, The wise
educator utilizes this natural force in
directions that will train and develop
the child.
While all that goes on in a good Kin
dergarten seems perfectly simple and
spontaneous, it is really the product of
that true art that conceals all art. Noth
ing the Kindergartner does is acci
dental. Each bit of the day's plan has
been made for a special purpose,-name,
ly, to meet some need in the child's
growth.
To this end is planned: (1), The
subject of thought suitable to the sea
son of the year or to the line of activity
and ideals that we wish to bring before
the child. This selected line of thought
is illustrated and reinforced by appro
priate, Talks, Stories, Poems, Songs, etc.
(2). An opportunity is given the chil
dren to get this thought into action
through conduct, through the hand
work and the games.
The Kindergarten should be order
ly. By orderly, we do not mean mili
tary discipline and silence. We mean,
rather, the order that comes naturally
through absorption in what one is do
ing, through interest and through care
not to interfere with the rights of oth
ers.
The children should be unconscious,
spontaneous, all alive—paying little at
tention to visitors. Notice the quality
of attention that the children give to
their work and play. It should be in
voluntary attention, attention born of
genuine interest. Notice the quality of
control or self direction possesse by the
children and remember that six and a
half years is the age of the oldest child.
Notice the discipline. If no discipline
is needed, be sure you see the product
of wise guidance in the beginning. If
discipline is used, notice its character —
not an arbitrary or personal infliction,
but the natural penalty of a broken law.
A days work in the Kindergarten
opens with the morning circle. Ob
serve reverence during devotion. Glad
morning greeting, Expressions of
good comradeship—happy living to
gether. The thought for the day given
to the children by the Kindergartner,
either in talk, poem or story. Singing
of the songs. During this period op
portunity is given the children to relate
individual experiences totheKindergart
ner. This means growth in individu
ality, personality and in the power of
expression.
In rythmic exercises the movements
of the children should be strong, grace
ful, free; not mechanical and cramped.
With children of kindergarten age,
we use large, bodily movements, and
the reason is physiological. The large
muscles come into play first in the or
der of the child's development. The
development of the small muscles does
not come until after the kindergarten
age. The exercises, though carefully
planned to help the child's physical de
velopment, are conducted in the spirit
of play. Joyous activity is always of
the most physical benefit.
The story hour is marked by shining
eyes, absorbed attention. Training of
the emotions, the imagination and the
building of ideals.
The right and happy ordering of the
child's relation with other children in
play is emphasized in games. If the
game is a success, all must help. This
is as truly good training and good dis
cipline as the "team work" so much
commended for the moral qualities it
develops in the college student. Game
time gives the Kindergartner the best
opportunities for getting close to her
cniidred. This close companionship,
being a good comrade with the chil
dren, gives great opportunity to help
the children s moral development. No-
tice how often the children choose the
Kindergartner to take part in the
games. Through the representative
and dramatic games come
better to understand Ihe life about
them. 4
Hand work is the irext step. The
child's conquest of materials; the train
ing he is getting in the fwver to do, to
produce; the control of hand and eye—
which means control of the brain cen
ters that lie back of the hand and eye.
All good educational hand work gives
the child an opportunity to develop his
own powers, to express his self activi
ty.
The luncheon period is a training in
service, in courtesy, good form and the
ability to conduct simple conversation.
Recess is when the nildren do what
they like and is not period of wild
license but shows tbi.e they are really
learning how to play. After this an
other half hour is giveii to hand work,
then preparation for dismissal and
good-bye.
Next week I will briefly mention
some of the advantages of kindergar
ten training. ■

COMMENT
JUDGE CLINE
Hickory is honored in the hon
or bestowed upon her son Mr.
Edward B. Cline. who will be the
judge elected from the 13th ju
dicial district. Mr. Cline is yet
a young man, who has made an
enviable success m the practice
of his prooession in this county.
He is a son of the late M. L.
Cline, one of the makers of
Hickory, and a descendentof one
of the notable pioneers who blazed
the path for civilization ia North
Carolina. Sebastian inline, a man
who braved the dangers of the
Indian-peopled wilderness to
make a home for himself way
back in the seventeen hundreds.
A graduate of the University of
North Carolina, a traveled man
and a student, Mr. Cline will
make one of the best men on the
bench of North Carolina and will
wear the ermine worthily.
A LESSON FOR CATAWBA
Catawba county -has reason to
congratulate herself on the way
she emerged from the 13th dis
trict judicial Democratic conven
tion. Her own candidate for the
ermine, Mr. Edward B. Cline,
was nominated as the result
of the Catawba men standing
loyally together for 701 long,
weary ballots. There were times
when it looked a little discour
aging, particularly when Ca
tawba's man lost the strength he
had from Alexander county, but
still the Catawbans rallied to
their man. It is no more than
just to say that to the stonewall
determination and leadership of
Mr. W. A. Self, Hickory's bril
liant lawyer, is largely due the
success of Catawba in this bat
tle royal. Always cheerful, al
ways confident, always deaf to
any persuasion that looked like
desertion of his friend, always
an inspiration to the rest of the
bunch, his plan won out in the
long run. He always argued that
Catawba could hold out for her
man just as long as any other
county could for its man.
The lesson is obvious. Cataw
ba county has been modest in the
past but she can get what is com
ing to her by unity of purpose.
She has within her bounds just
as able men as any other coun
ty in Western North Carolina.
Let Catawbans stand together,
whether they are Newtonians or
Hickoryites. There is no cause
for jealously on the part of either
town against the other. Hick
ory is sincerely appreciative of
the way Newton members of the
delegation stood by Mr. Cline.
Capt. Jones and Mr. Finley are
men of fine abilities and exper
ience. We hope that party hon
ors may yet come to them both.
Such friendships as they proved
to have in the convention are
worth more than party honors.
While the opinion pr evails in
some quarters that Gastonia is
likely to get the C.& N,-W Shops.
The matter hasn'tbeen c losed yet.
Hickory feels sure that a great
advantage was given her com
petitors in extending the time for
raising money from Monday to
Thursday without this city hav
any notice of it.

day September 7th
DR. BUCHHEIT AT HELM
Where this Fine School Has
Secured its Corps of In
structors—A Prosperous
Future Promised
Catawba College and Prepara
tory School will open Wednesday,
September 7. The Rev. T. J.
Hacker, D. D., of Roanoke, Va.
will deliver the address in the
college auditorium at 8 p. m. The
public are cordially invited to at
tend.
There is every indication that
the college shall have a large in
crease in the enrollment as com
pared with last year and all the
buildings are being put in readi
ness for the accommodation of
students. The sanitary condi
tions have been improved, new
furniture purchased for several
of the class rooms, wardrobes in
stalled in dormitory rooms and
about $1,500 expended for a thor
ough equipment for our Physical,
Chemical and Biological labora
tories, thus giving us one of the
best equipments in the state for
work in Science.
With the exception of the in
structor in Art the faculty is now
complete as follows: John F.
Buchheit, A. M. instructor in
History, Political and Social
Science; Prof W. R. Weaver, A.
M., Greek, German and Geome
try; Miss Alice H. Cook, A. M.,
Latin and French; Prof. G. H.
Smith, A. M., B. D., English;
Prof. J. A. Foil, Ph D., Mathe
matics, and Mental and Moral
Science; Prof. L. A. Springs, A.
M., Natural Science; Miss Rosa
K Vollrath, Vocal and Instru
mental Music; Miss Henrietta
Killian, Expression. Negotia
tions with an instructor in Art
will be completed in a few days.
Without doubt one of the
strongest faculties in the history
of the institution has been se
cured for the work of the coming
year. Prof. Weaver has been
, here so long and the hi eh order
of his work is so well known that
comment is unnecessary. Miss
Cook, Forestville, N. Y., is a
graduate of the University of
Michigan and for the last five
years has taught Latin at the
Woman's College at Frederick
with great success. Prof. Smith
is a son of Newton, a former
student of the college, a gradu
ate of Trinity and of Union Sem
inary and has done graduate
work at Columbia University. He
is admirably fitted for his work
in English; Dr. Foil formerly
taught in the college and is rec
ognized as one of the finest math
ematicians in the state; Prof.
Springs, Mt. Holly, N. C., has
taken his B. S. and A. M. at
Davidson, has had several years
experience as a teacher and last
year was assistant in Physics and
Chemistry at Davidson; Miss
Vollrath, Lancaster, Pa., for the
past three years has taught
voice and piano at Freeport, 111.,
where she established an envia
ble reputation; and Miss Killian
of Newton, is a well known read
er and entertainer.
Thorough courses, a strong fac
ulty and an up to date equip
ment insure the best educational
opportunities and all who seek a
liberal education will do well to
take advantage them. Registra
tion days are September 6 and 7.

THE MANTILLA.
A Bpanish Woman Answers the QUH
tion, "Why Do You Wear It?"
The writer once asked of a well
known lady of the Spanish aristocracy
who was seated In the box of the pres
ident of a corrida In Madrid, "Why do
yon wear a mantilla?" and the fair
duchess replied: "Because we all wear
a mantilla at a bullfight or at any
truly Spanish function. It is the prop
er thing to do, and we do It."
A little later as I strolled among a
group of aficionados I ventured to ask
a woman of the people over whose
head and shoulders was also thrown a
mantilla why all Spanish women, to
whatever class they belonged, wore
this national headgear, if it may be
called thus.
This woman was sitting in the open
air, and I was thinking that a large
straw hat would have protected her
better from the burning rays of the
sun and been quite as picturesque.
She replied in that droning, warm tone
so typical of the Well, I hap
pened to have often*ffl(fugbt of this,
and' 1 think the reason why we all
wear the mantilla Is because we Span
ish women are most careful about our
hair. We think the chief charms of a
woman are her eyes and her hair.
And. as you may see. we all have
splendid, thick, lustrous hair, and we
are supposed to have, many of us. fas
cinating eyes. Now, why should we
hide our elaborately arranged hair un
der a hat and conceal our eyes in the
shade cast by the brim of a hat?"
No doubt this woman was right. Pa
risian elegance to the Spanish women
of the upper classes may have its at
tractions, but they, as their less fortu
nate compatriots, all agree that beau
tiful hair and expressive eyes are more
important. * • * And both of these
may be cultivated.—London Mall.
THE FIRST WINDMILLS.
Could Work Only When the Wind
Blew From a Certain Point-
Windmills are said to bare been in
troduced into England by the Knights
of St John, who observed them in use
fimoug the Saracens in the Crusades,
but bow long they had been in ex
istence before this it is not possible to
ascertain. A water mill was built in
Bohemia in the year 718, for an old
chronicler mentions it, going on to say
that "before that time all the mills In
Bohemia were windmills set upon the
summit of hills."
For hundreds of years windmills
were among the most Important ad
juncts of industry, yet they hardly
changed from the rode and primitive
design of earliest days. They were
Hred In one position, and so could only
be worked when the wind blew from
a certain quarter, while the four sails
boasted no slats or checking apparatus
of any kind, which must have been
most inconvenient at times.
The first idea of arranging a mill so
that It could be worked "whene'er the
wind did blow" was that of tethering
an ordinary mill In the middle of a
pond by means of ropes. When the
wind shifted the ropes were loosed
and the mill dragged around until the
sails were caught by the wind, and It
was then again tethered as before.
Later on a great pole, which was
worked on the principle of a turntable,
was affixed to the mill. Not until 1500
did Holland, the land of windmills.
Introduce a movable dotae carrying
the sail axle. The dome ran on rollers
and was shifted around by means of
the pole mentioned above. These an
cient mills were often of massive build,
being made of brick or 6tone, and later
entirely of wood.—Londou Globe.
The Helmet That Fell.
Roquelaure, the deformed Jester of
Louis XIV., contrived to get out of
many a scrape by his ready wit One
day be went to the king to ask his par
don for having struck off the helmet of
one of his sentinels who bad failed to
give him the military salute. Louis,
who knew his man, wondered that
Roquelaure should crave his pardon
for so venial an offense and said to
him, "This is a serious matter, Roque
laure, but 1 will pardon you this time."
It afterward turned out that the sol
dier's head was In the helmet and fell
with it to the ground.—Argonaut
The Astonishing Part.
Lord Townshend at the battle of
Dettengen was standing quite near a
drummer boy whose brains were dash
ed out by a cannon ball. His lordship
gazed on the horrible spectacle for
some moments in silence.
At last an old officer spoke up and
said: "Why is your lordship surprised?
Such things must happen In war."
"I know it," was the reply, "but
what astonishes me Is that a boy with
so much brains should be here at aU."
A Bright Outlook.
"Do you—er—do you think. Miss
Doblelgh, that you will be—er—engag
ed next Thoasday evening?" asked
Tompy very bashfully.
"Well, really. Mr. Tompy," repUed
Ethel, "I don't know, b*t If you can
get up spunk enough between now and
then to do your share I think there's a
fair prospect that 1 shall be."
And Tompy did.-Harper's Weekly.

me on what side one gets it?'
"Why, on the inside, of course."—
