Over London
Mrs. Beard Saw the Chief Jus
tice and Heard Bishop o!
London.
Miss Josie Person his recieved
a letter from her aunt, Mis.
Beard, who is travelling in Eu- ■
rope, and was then in London,
from which the following items
are gleaned: . i
I walked through the Black- j
wall Tunnel under the Thames«
from bank to bank. The roar
was so terrific, that for fear of
being deafened, I stuffed my
ears with paper. The tunnel is
an iron tube 27 ft. in external
diameter, and lined with cement
concrete and then glazed with
tiles.
Yesterday morning the voung
Greek, the German, the French;
girl and the American (I) went I
to the street sale held every Sun- 1
day in the slums of East London. (
It was a curiosity- Rough stands ,
were erected with perpendicular |
iron rods and across these wooden j
strips stretched. Everything im-i
aginable was suspened from j
them: articles of food.i of wear-1
ing and house decorat on. The
faces of the crowd were Jewish
and foreign. In many places
it was with difficulty that we
could thread our way through
the numbers. Near by we saw
the "house which was burned in
connection with the Hounditch
murders. The opposite buildings'
had many marks of shot.
A few days ago I went into
the room of Prince Henry, the
son of James I. It is a beauti
ful room with carved oaken pan
els, a most, beautiful designed
plaster ceiling with the crest of
Charles in centre and several
coat-of-arms in windows. The
front outside, is one of those
old, projecting rcofs and that,
too, has much carving.
The dark pall hung over London
a week ago. It was atnoonday
as dark as the darkest night.
They say it was remarkable even
for London. It seemed wrong
to have the blinds up, though,
knowing it was mid-day, we did
not lower them.'
I went to the law courts where
I saw the Lord Chief Justice pre
side. He iooks, tor a man, what
Mrs. Baker used to look for a
woman- a noble aristocratic face.
Tne lawyers have the funniest
curled wigs on. Each curl looks
as if it were wound around the
finger and then glued into place.
The biue sky is above us today
and ic is so rare a sight that
when I come home I'll appreciate
the sunshine as I never did be
fore - ...
Well, since visiting the above
have heard the Bishop of London.
He was most cordially greeted.
A splendid speech was made by
Sir Gilbert Parker, the author.
He is quite good looking and a
pleasant speaker.
Did I write you I had visited the
resting place of Captain John
Smith? "Sometime Governor of
Virginia and Admiral of New
England, who departed this life
the 21st of June, 1631."
In Westminster are several
things gratifying to Americans.
In the Chapter House is a hand
some window put in bv Ameri
cans in memory of Dean Stanley.
There is a bust of Longfellow,,
"By The English admirers of
this American poet."
On a tablet in the pavement of
the nave is this. "Here were de
posited from November 12 to
December 11, 1809, the remains
of George Peabody, then removed
to his native country and buried at
Danvus now Peabody, in Mas
saehusett. 'I have prayed my
Heaven Iv Father day by dav
that I might be enabled
before I died to show my grati
tude for the blessings which He
has bestowed upon me by doing
some gi eat good to my fellow
mer. "Let your light so shine,''
ihe Wax Efiieies are certainly
curious. When a sovereign died
1 is effigy was carried in the pro
cession and then kept upon the
tomb. They wore dressed in
t iie clothes worn by the deceased.
The effiery of Elizabeth was hor
rible, showing the face of an old
ramorsofnl womm-a true like
ness becau.ie taken from a cast
after death. I suppose these
* ffi>?ies are about the only like
ness of rulers which at
tempted no flattery.

Catawba Farmers Going For
ward.
Correspondence of the Democrat.
Oxford Ford, March 13.- Dur
ing the past 3 or 4 vears we see
much progress made by the far
mers of Catawba county, in the
way of better farming, better
implements, more stock, etc.,
and of late, phone lines have
been built in all directions, which
is a healthy sign of progress. A
new line is being built from Hick
ory to Catawba Springs with
four wires. From the Springs,
branch lines radiate in four di
rections, one to White's Ferry
and across the river, another to
Q. M. Smith's store, and another
to Noah Deal's store, another to
M. L. Houston's store. A com
pany has been formed with about j
32 subscribers. In the course of
time, this line will probably form
connection with the line already
built in the Catfish section.
The roads are being greatly
improved by the new system of j
work. Especially where the i
heavy drag is used, the improve-,
ment is clearly seen. Messrs J.
E. Isenhour and W. T. Hedrick
have made much improvement
on their sections. If the con
tractors will only faithfully per
form their duty and drag the j
roads often, we shali certainly 1
have greatly improved roads over
the whole county.
Mrs. Sidney Hefner died Sun
day and was buried Monday at
St. Peters church, service being
conducted by her pastor. Rev. P.
C. Henry.
The Mull School will close this
week.
Catawba College Notes
Last Wednesday Mr. Roger
H. Dußose returned from the
hospital at Salisbury and seems
to be excellent spirits.
The college has just received
from Mr. Weizer, of East Green
ville, Pa. the widow of Rev.
C. Z. vVeizer formerly a prom
inent • minister in the Re
formed Church, thirteen volumes
of the "Reformed Church Mes
senger": these volumes include
the issues from July 18. 1835 to
August 25, 1851, the papers for
two years being bound in one
volume. These copies of one of
the most prominent papers of
the Reformed Church will shed
much light on the history not
only of the church represented
but also of the other churches
for that time. They will be a
valuable mine of information for
original researches.
On Fridav the Idahian Literary
Society presented a play entitled
the "Bachelor Maids Reunion."
The young ladies were all arrayed
in the costumes of thirty years
ago but despite the dresses worn
and the white hair used to some
cases they were not quite able to
disguise the youth and beauty
that all new they had.
Prof. J. F. Buchhait returned

Ivey Mills New Weave Room
Man Breaks the Record.
J Correspondence of the Democrat:
West Hickory, March 11.—The
Ivey Mill started up last Monday
morning after one weeks rest.
The hands who went on a visit
during the rest week have all
returned and the mill is still
crowded with hands. The last,
four weeks work the Ivey Mill
made 10,000 yards more cloth
than has ever been made in one
month since the mill started.
This was a large gain and it cer
tainly shows that Capt. C. E.
Cole, the present overseer, knows
just how to run a weave room to
get off a big production. And in
the last 10 days the Company has
shipped 77 bales of cloth. Con
sequently everything seems to be
in fine shape about the mill.
Mr. Henry Lewis, whom we
reported very sick at our last
writing, died last week and was
buried at Mountain Grove church
last Monday.
W. A. Bumgarner and family,
who have been living in West

ing after his town property.
Ben. Isenhow, from Brookford

Mr. Flagler has recently built
several new dwelling houses in
West Hickory near the picker
stick factory, which add greatly
to the appearance of that part of
the town.
A. Q. Cody has purchased a
vacant lot from G. T. Bargerand
is going co build a dwelling house
in the near future.
Henry Price and family left

THE ATOM, only a little while
ago, was the final analysis of
science. Then radium came
(discovered, with her husband,
by a woman to whom member
ship in the French Academy has
been refused), and science had
to change its whole idea of the
constitution of the universe. The
atomic theory, on which we were
all brought up, had to go. Cen
ters of electric force now serve
jas the hypothesis in which the
I ultimate mystery is dressed
j Science travels fast, and with
every great discovery some
| former conclusions are thrown to
i the scrap heap New suns are
! discovered by the and
; our world grows relatively
! smaller. Meantime, upon it, we
fly; we force machinery to sow
and reap and bear our burdens;
we send messages in seconds
around the earth; we telegraph
without wires; we hear the hu
man yoice a thousand miles away;
we make CARUSO sing at one mo
ment in the farmhouses of lowa
and the palaces of Fifth Avenue.
With all this there are things we
can not .do. We can not make
a play like "Hamlet"; or a build
ing like the Paris Notre-Dame; or
a painting like the Madrid
"'Weavers"; or a statue like
those upon the Parthenon; or
music like the symphonies of
BEETHOVEN. Man forges new
weapons, discovers new secrets,
and improves the conditions of
his life? but genius comes only
A-hen it will, and rarely.
No Slavery to Work
Deskins, Va.—Mrs. Mary A. Van-
Jyke, in a letter from Deskins, says:
'I had serious female troubles, last
ing 40 days at a time. I was so weak
I could hardly walk, so I tried Cardui.
Soon I was better. 'Now, lam well."
If you suffer from anv form of womanly
p?in or weakness, take Cardui, the
woman's tonic. Cardui will lift you
out of the misery and weariness, caused
by wo"nanly weakness, and help you
Ito see the bright side of life. Try it.

The Poultry Yard
From March Farm Journal.
The March-hatched pullets will
be the early fall layers.
Many incuoator chicks are
killed with kindness by being
overfed and kept too warm.
You need not be afraid the
hens will eat too much crushed
shells. Let them have all they
want.
I have heard the advice given
to feed the chicks all thev will
eat up clean. That won't do.
They will eat up clean (the first
week or two) more than they
have any business eating.
Hard enough to sit for three
weeks, without having to be
gnawed all the time by insect
pests. Look at your sitting hens
once in a while and be sure they
are free from enemies of this
kind.
Particularly at this season of
the year, do not set a hen until it
is positive that she is thoroughly
broody. If she does not have
the full fever, she is apt to
desert her charge, often after
sitting a week or two.

Spelling Bee at
Graded School
Sii Children Each From the
Eighth and Ninth Grades
•Left Standing.
The pupils in the Graded
School are taking considerable
interest in the subject of spel
ling. They realize that it is a
reproach to any one to be a poor
speller. The pupils in the high
school gradts have arranged for
a series of spelling matches be
tween the different grades; and
much enthusiasm is being
aroused.
Friday afternoon fifteen repre
sentatives from the eighth grade
and fifteen from the ninth grade
engaged in an old-fashioned
spelling match. For more than
an hour the battle of words went
on, and the contest resulted in a
tie—six from the eight grade
and six from the ninth were left
standing.
More than five hundred words
were spelled, difficult words in
every day use. Such words as
conscientious, contrivance, ac
commoda e, recommend, mur
mur, appetite, besieging, venge
ance, intelligence, perseverance,
beneficial, caterpillar, rinsed, hic
cough, feuds, and hostile were
spelled without anv hesitation.
The six from the eighth grade
who missed no word were Ra
mona Rich, Frances Geitner,
Janie Lyerley, Catherine Steven
son, Antha Lytle, and Sadie
Salvo. From the ninth, Elen
Abernethy, Sadie Seaboch, Hal
Little, Annie Reinhardt, Leon
Gilbert, and Jennie Reinhardt
did not miss a word. One of
these two grades will, in a few
weeks, contest with the tenth
grade.
It is possible that spelling con
tests will be arranged with the
schools in the neighboring towns.
If different schools can arrange
for games of baseball, thev
might also arrange for mental
constests as well.
Presbyterian Church Notes
The Covenanter debate takes
place on Friday night at 7:30
o'clock.
The pastor will preach at both
services next Sunday.
Mr G. W. Hall and Mr. H. M.
Doll were elected to represent
the church at Presbytery at
Concord, April 11.
The service conducted by the
Union Choir was much enjoyed
last Sunday night. The church
had ample space for the large
crowd, which must have num
bered over six hundred.
A series of lectures by the
missionary traveller, Cameron
Johnson, wilKprobaly be arrang
ed for the near future.
Spit, Quit, Fit
Hines, Ala. —In a letter from this
place, Mrs! Eula Mae Bradley says:
"I used to spit up all I ate. I was
trired and sleepy all the time. My
head ached, and I could hardly drag
around. Since taking Cardui, this has
entirely quit, and now I feel quite fit."
Mrs. Bradley suffered from nervous
indigestion. Cardui builds up the
nervous system, and strengthens the
womanly constitution. That's why
Cardui helped Mrs. Bradley and why
it will help you. Try it.

Saved Her Own Life
Tecumseh, Okla. —"I believe,"
says Mrs. Eliza Eppeison, of this place
"that if it hadn't been for Cardui, I
would have been dead to ay. Before I
began using Cardui, I suffered from
pains in the head, shoulders, back,
side, limbs, and the lower part of my
body. Cardui helped me more than
anything, and I am now in better
. health, since taking it, than for four
years." Nobody can deny that the
best tonic for a woman to take, is a
tonic for women—Cardui. Please try it.

served, the hostess being as
sisted by three charming little
girls. A pleasing feature of the
afternoon was an impromptu
baby show. Little Masters Ad
rian Shuford and Charles Milten
Whitener having accompanied
their mothers, made a call on
little Miss Mary Esther Steven
son, and the three babies were
brought in and admired sufficient
ly to satisfy the most exacting
of mothers.
Wednesday March 8, Mrs. A. A.

Hickory Book Club. All the
members in town were welcomed
at the door by Miss Clarissa Ab

young sons. A. A. Shuford 111,
and Bill. Mrs H. D. Aberneth>
was greeted with cordial expres
siins of pleasure after her ab
sence. Limericks in response
to roll-call were given by some
members whose extreme modesty
forbids further publicity. The
Book of the Hour was the
O'Flynn, a swash-buckling Irish
hero so after Spring's flower,
the daffodil had given its sunny
greeting, the color scheme of the
Emerald Isle, green and white,
was carried out in the dining
room, green candles and green
shades, white roses and ferns in
the centre. The place cards had
hand-painted shamrocks one side
and on the other Limericks witty
and quaint. Irish cavaliers and
peasant girls were the favors
with the green flag. From
grape-fruit through the several
courses to green gelatine and
green cake caps with the white
pipe showed the Isle's own color,
and the candied "praties" two
and the green bon-bons sure.
Jest and quip led this delightful
hour.
Work Brought Exhaustion
Adel, Ga.—"For three yean,"
writes Mrs. C. J. Rentz, "I suffered
with female troubles. When I would
lie down, I ould hardly breathe. I
could not do any work without being
exhausted. I took Cardui according
to directions, and now I can do all my
work, and do not suffer at all." Car
dui has brought health and happiness
. to thousands of weak women. It acts
on the cause of women's backaches,
headaches, nervousness, dragging
, sensations, weakness and misery. It
relieves. It cures. Try it,
