SHY ON ORIGINALITY.
One of our subscribers on R.
F. D. No. 1 complains that we
do not give him anything "ori
ginal" to read. He told Mrs.
Springs about it during the con
test. The point is well taken.
Nate Heath, our beloved partner
on the Philadelphia Record staff,
who is the faithfulest friend we
ever had to spur us on to do bet
ter work, writes us the same
critic'sm every now and then. So
does Gordon Cilley. Its so. Pec
cavi.
But we can do it. Just give
us a little time. We nave one
brain cell that occasionally oozes
a driblet of originality to the
point of the editorial lead pencil.
But it seems to be affected by
the drought this year. The gray
matter inside of it has not been
so low since 1845. It seems to
be running a race with the Ca
tawba river to go dry. We would
really welcome a brain-storm a
mental cloud-burst, don't you
know—to get it up high enough
to float an idea. Our imagina
tion tried to take a swim in it a
jninute ago and got stuck in the
mud —which is the reason we
Cannot finish this very piece we
are writing now.
But, dear reader on Root One,
we have to wait for inspiration,
like you on your farm do for rain
clouds- We expect some before
frost, and then we will try and
furnish enough originality for
not only all the Hickory R. F.
Ds. but also for. Newton and
Granite Falls.
"We strive to please.''
TAFT AND THE TARIFF.
Turn about is fair play. Taft
called the special session of Con
gress to pass his Canadian Reci
procity bill, because the tariff in
the preyious congress had not
been "honestly revised down
ward," as the President had
promised. He himself admitted
that the wool schedule of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff was "inde
fensible." The Democrats pass
ed his Canadian Reciprocity bil
for him because his own crowc
wouldn't do it, and he thankee
them for it in an interview in th«
press. But when they passed
several sure enough tariff revis
ion bills, he vetoes every one and
stamps himself an insincere tar
iff reformer. The Monroe J ourn
al sums up the splendid record
of the Democrats thus:
"They passed a bill putting
agricultural implements on the
free list, in order that the great
farming communities of the
country would not have to go or
paying enormous tribute to thf
machinery trusts. They passed
a reform woolen bill, undoing the
work that President Taft had
declared was indefensible. The\
passed a cotton reduction bill, ii
order that the great New Eng
land mills that have the country
by the throat might be made tr
relax that grip upon the people.
They passed a bill admitting Ar
izona and New Mexico to State
hood, a thing that would hav
been done long ago if the new
States would have guaranteed to
send Republicans to the Senate.
All these measures Mr. Taf;
vetoed. The people will remem
ber it.

Death of Mrs. Daniel M. Huff
man.
Mrs. Daniel M. Huffman, who
for more than two years has suf
fered from what seemed to be a
iomplicalion of diseases, died
peacefully on Thursday morning
early, August 17, shortly after
the midnight hours.
Although there has been the
iteiing for some time that Mrs.
Huffm n would not get well, and
her gradually declining health,
together with the refusal of her
physicsns to give any word of
encouragement for her recovery, ,
would seem to have prepared the
way for submission to the Heav
cw Father's will, yet despite;
this, the family, relatives and
community of friends were deep
ly touch* d b> the departure of
this faithful Christian woman.
Mrs. Huffman's maiden name
was 'iabitha Catharine Seiiz.
She was a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Abel Seitz. Of the Seitz
family that sui vive her are two
sisters, Mrs. Emeline Hart and
Mrs. Luther Whitener of this
county; a brother, Mr. Jones
Seitz, of Texas, ar.d a half sister
: Mrs. Pherby Fry.
Mrs. Huffman WES born April
the 2nd, 1856. She was baptized
in infancy and was confirmed by
her pastor into the faith of the
Evangelical Lutheran church,
when but a young girl.
On the 30th of September 1884.
she was married to Mr. Huffman.
To them were born ten children;
six sons and four daughters.
The oldest daughter, Lela, dieo
when a young girl of fourteen
years. The other children sur
vive her, the three youngest, Mr.
Shuler and Misses Misses Minnie
and Lottie being at home with
Mr. Huffman. Three of the sons
and one daughter are married.
I Mr. Ed *ard Huffman and Mrs.
' Dallas Bowman have homes here,
! while Messrs. Robert andGeorgt
I and two single sons, Messrs.
Tom and Arthur, have drifteo
Westward.
Mr. and Mrs. Huffman have
resided in this community per
haps through all their married
life. In Mrs. Huffman's death
Mt. Olive Lutheran church loses
une who for a long time has been
a member, faithful and much be
loved. During her prolongeo
sickness it seemed always togivt
her pleasure to have her pastor
visit her; and not one time, even
when she seemed to suffer great
est, would she allow her pastoi
to call without also reading fr-mr.
some part of God's Word and
i prayer.
The large family and the wide
circle of friends are bereaved ovei
her death. But there is gooo
reason to feel that her death
her gain, and that she is amont
those of whom the Evangelist
spoke when he said, "I heard a
voice from heaven saying untc
me, write, "Blessed are the deac.
which die in the Lord from
henceforth: yea saith the Spirit;
that they may rest from theii
labors; and their works do follow
them." J. D. M.
Help Them Work Their Way
The authorities of Lenoir Col
lege tell us that they have had 50
or more applieaions from young
.nen and young women asking
for some work to help pay foi
their education. Only a smal ;
number of these can be accom
modated at the college, as tht
institution has no self-help schoi
arships and but little endow men;
with which to meet such re
quests.
Think of it, 50 young men an
women anxious to come to ou.
city and take their educatioi
from Lenoir College, young peo
pie willing to work to pay thei;
way —just such human materia
out of which the world's bes
citizens are fashioned—workers,
anxious for an education!
To the majority of these youn>.
people the authorities of the Col
lege will haye to say,—"we can';
accommodate you"—for the Col
lege has funds with which to ac
commodate only a few.
Even last year the same was
true, except not so many applied.
Some even came on last year
after they had been told that the
college had nothing for them to
do. They lived out their small
purse and sought help all around,
but, finding none returned home.
We are telling this to the
people of Hickory, thinking that
possibly some of them can help
these young people. Possibly
some family would like a girl to
help evenings and mornings in
the home for their board, or per
haps some can use a young man
in the same way.
It is certainly 'an appealing
Thirty Years Together.
Thirty years of association, think of it.
How the merit of a good thing stands
out in that time —cr the worthlessness
of a bad one. So there's no guesswork
in this evidence of Thos. Ariss, Concord,
Mich., who writes: "I haved used Dr.
King's New Discovery for 30 years, and
its the best cough and cold cure I ever
used." Once it finds entrance in a
home you can't pry it out. Many
families have used it forty years. It's

situation: The authorities of
Lenoir College are striving wi h
might and main to raise an en
dowment fund to a.ssist in th s
matter, but the fund is too smaii
iettoheed the numerous calls
for a chance to work through
college.
If any of the citizens of Hick
ory feel able to give some of
these young people aid by offer
ing work or any other help, they
can get fuil particulars by con
ferring with any of the authori
ties of the college here in Hick
ory.
Gentle Insinuation Against
His "Cummerads."
Judge Cline at Wilmington was
trying a colored man 'scused of
stealing a bag of coal. Defend
ant was an old timer and main
tained that he had picked up the
coal on the railroad tracks. The
fact, however, that he had hid
the bag looked suspicious. He
?aid he did so to keep his neigh
bors from stealing it from him.
On the stand he summed up h 8
defence in this way:
"We sometimes gethers up
these little things and kivers
'em up, so thet our cummerads
may not find 'em, and misplace
t'hem f'um us."
Sambo came clear and the
Judge told Hazel Aiken about it
and he wrote a piece in the Wil
mington Star.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one drealed disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surface of
I the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The Proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
