The Mocksville Record anc Statesville Landmark have been recently talking about Gen. Wm. R. Davie, one of our greates: men. While they have him stil; upon the stage we want to say that through him North Carolina won the honor of saving the Con stitution. The fight between the large States and the small ones in the convention of 1787 had wagec furiously. The small States were opposed to having Senators as well as Representatives chos en according 10 the population They threatened to disrupt the convention by withdrawing ii this was passed. It was then that Davie, representing one ol the big Scates, declared that ht would stand for the same sena torial representation from all the States. The whole North Carolina delegation stood with him—Richard Dobbs Spaight, Wm. Blount, Alexander Martin and Hugh Williamson. When the vote came up on thf "Connecticut compromise," Mas sachusetts bv an equal division of her delegation stood neutral. Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina and Florida voted no. Against that four Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina voted ave. Hon. Hannis Taylor, the- great constitutional lawyer, calls this 4 'the most brilliant and yet, also, the most unfamiliar page in the history of North Caioiina; and he adds: "If it had not been for this commonwealth's great act of conscience in thus taking sides, against her own interest, in favoi of the Union, Washington's ad ministration might never have occurred; John Marshall might neyer have presided over the Supreme Court of the United States; William Gaston might never have sat in the Congres. at Washington. How pitiful s contribution to civilization was th charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava when we compare it with the act of North Carolina's immortal phalanx which locked its shield and saved the Consti tution at Philadelphia." i I NOT AN INCIDENT BUT AN END. Denying a charge that he "took sugar in his'n"—that is that he voted for "incidental protection" to a Southern product, Senator John Sham Williams adds: *'Whenever you find a man howl ingfor "incidental protection," if you will throw an X Ray through his intellect you will find that the protection aimed at is not an "incident" but an end." The Democrat appreciates the following postal card: Au Sable, Mich., Aug. 24. Mr. Editor:—Please accept my thanks for vour editorial on prayer in the Democrat, August 17. When I make my Southern trip, that editorial will bring me to Hickory. Such things are refreshing in these days when it is a fad to deride prayer. Sincerely, Rev. Levi Bird. Mr. Bird is the kind of a man we like to welcome here; and this is about the time when Birds migrate Southward. No Need To Stop Work. When your doctor orders you to stop work, it staggers you.

Collier's magazine is publish ing a lot of prize-letters on the American reader's opinion of his home paper. A constant reader of the Chicago Tribune flings this paragraph into his letter: "I value most McCutcheon s cartoons. Kindly, intelligent, sincere, and delightfully funny, they bring to each one at out breakfast table something need ed to begin the day on, which is to the new spirituality what dad'f family altar was to our child hood's Methodism." We do not know exactly what "the new spirituality is," but th> fact that it considers a newspaper cartoon better to begin the da} on than "dad's family altar" ol childhood days is good evidence that is not as good a spirituality a* the old time brand. The car toon is all right in its place but uhe growing disregard of the old morning piayers, such as is re flected in this writer's compla cent half-contemptuous refer ence, is regrettable. IS A TARIFF COMMISSION ANY GOOD? Possibly we ought to have a national tariff commission to frame up our tariff laws instead of the House Ways and Mean* committee composed of political partisans, who fear their rich manufactiring constituents. It is taken for granted that tne tar iff commission will be made uf of political economy professor? in colleges and other unbiasec experts. Well, we are afraid even of the college professors in these days when "Big Business," or the interests, or the trusts, art buying the favor of the schools by big endowment gifts. What we really need is more of the scholar in polities —states- men of the calibre of the late Wm. L. Wilson, of West Virgin ii, or Woodrow Wilson, of pres ent fame. God Bless Them. Written for tlie Democrat. We mean the Junior Civic League of Hickory. They de serve everlasting praise. They are engaged in a work more no- Ole and more Christian-like thau chat of social parties and pleas ure seeking. They do not blow loud trumpets about what the\ are going to, but never do. The} go right at it, and work with effective taste and judgement. They have set us older people an example, which we would du .veil to follow. It is hoped they will not change, but continue to be doers and not mere boasters For years the Cemetery on 9th \venue,—right in the heaat of the city—has been an eyesore and a growing rebuke to our town. It had grown up in rub bish and was simply a hiding place for game and all kinds o sin. The girls,—God bless then have had the rubbish eleareu off, the trees nicely trimmed an* the ground raked over. Arc. soon they will have it in keeping with our churches and our boa.M ed Christian civilization That's right, girls; keep on do ing works of righteousness, an you will prove a blessing to you? selve3, your parents and to you town and be an honor to God.—t A Card. To the Editor of the Democrat: We appreciate sincerely th good work the Hickory Fir Department rendered recentl when our home caught fire Nothing but a well organized fire company could have saved to us our home, under the cir cumstances. The city of Hick ory should be proud of our fire man and our captain. All citi zens with any pride in a home at all should pull down their swing ing flues and build from the ground, for such flues are un desirable property from the standpoint of a possible confla gration. Respectfully yours with grati tude, Dr. and Mrs. K. A. Price. 1430 11th Ave., Hickory, N. C. August, 28, 1911. Forced To Leave Home. Every year a large number of poor sufferers, whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs, are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. There's a better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., "when all else fail ed and I gained 47 pounds in weight. Its surely the king of all cough and lung cures." Thousands owe their lives and health to it. It s positively guaranteed for Coughs, Colds, LaGrip pe, Asthma, Croup—all Throat and Lung troubles. 50c & SI.OO. Trial bottle free at C. M. Shuford, Moser & Lutz and Grimes Drug.Co. A Kind Word tor the Paper. To the Editor of the Democrat: Recently BUO new subscribers were added to the maiiin.; hst of the Democrat. These new readers are alreadv getting ac quainted with the good qualities ot' the paper, we are sure, yet we are going to take the liberty to call especial attention to some of its more Stirling virtues, foi the editor, being a modest man, will not do this. In the first place, Editor Banks ! is a seasoned newspaper man, having served eleven years or i the Charlotte Observer, twc ! years on the Philadelphia Record, I a fexsoa each on the Winston Sentinel, the RoanoKe Times, ana the Ashevilie Gazette News. In the second place ne is c Christian gentleman, belonging to the old School Presbyterian faith. He stands for the 010 fashioned Bible, the old fashion ed doctrines of immortality, fu ture retribution and rewards; he believes in old fashioned honesty, morality and Christian faith, and has no patience for the new cults which would enthrone reason and dethrone revelation and God. Tnese two facts coupled to gether make of the Hickor\ Democrat a model of a weekly newspaper. Glanpe at the head lines on the news'pages and you will see no flaming portrayal ol beasty crime, such as murders, suicides, sensational divorce ana grovelling crime. On the other hand your news page will tell 01 new enterprises for the home town and countv, of what is educational in character and up lifting in tone and sentiment. Of course, the Democrat does* not ciose its eyes to crimes which occu", but somewhere in an in significant squib of a half a doz en lines the story will besuscint ly and chastely told. The Democrat, it vou notict these facts, is a newspaper wit! a conscience. Its chief virtu« lies in the fine discrimination d the editor as to what shall hav°. prominence-only the clean things, the uplifting things, the thing, which develop manly clean char acter. Hickory was fortunate whei Editor Banks cast iiis lot amon> us. What we have said may b as wholesome to the Democrats readers here as it is to the 80t new names just added to ihe list Hickory should appreciate hi services, and snould give suci loyal support as to en ible him t> equip his cffice to serve a wide field of usefulness. A SUBSCRIBER. [The Democrat appreciate more than it can find words to ex press these kind words, CL mm* unexpectedly from one of th leading ministers of the Luther an faith in our community. Thi compliment is far more than w« deserve —we are aware of ou; shortcomings—but we hope yti to realize our ideais.] "IK BITTER AGONY HE WED TO DIE" Here is the record of one of the most wonderful cures of Eczema that has ewr come to our notice. We commend it to ai' who are suffering from this stressing dir ease, or have little children - with it. Mrs. Rose Stouffs, of Greensboro, N. writes: "Al>out four years ago my liH. hoy broke out with Eczema, and suffered terribly for two long years, lie was sore from head to foot, the only parts of his body free from the trouble being the palms of his hands and bottoms of his feet. He could not walk, but crept on hip hands and feet. He was in such agonj he would pray to die. He had been doc tored by the best doctors, and I neves expected anything to cure him. The only way he could get out was for me to put a Cillow slip over his head, with holes foi is eye 3, nose and mouth. His clothes had to be changed two and three times a day. The itching was almost nnendnrable, and at night he would itch and scratch until I didn't know what to do for him. A friend insisted on us trying *. MRS. JOE PERSON S REMEDY. "We bought a bottle, and used it with such good results that we kept on, and to day our child is entirely well." You have only to imagine the anguish in that mother's heart, as she helplessly watched her child suffering the torments of Eczema, to realize the gratitude she feels toward Mrs. Joe Person's Remedj and Wash. This case demonstrates beyond all donnt that this great Remedy will cure Eczema, and all troubles resulting from Impure, Im poverished or Poisoned Blood. Even when these afflictions have progressed to tlie stage known as "chronic," Mrs. Joe Per son's Remedy will effect a complete cure if used according to recommendation. It is a purely vegetable compound, en tirely free from harmful mineral ingre dients. It is the best Tonic, Alterative. Rlood Purifier and Nervine ever put 011 the market, and for "run-down" condi tions in both men and women it stands without a rival. Write for testimonials of people anxious to tell how Mrs. Joe Per son s remedy cured them when everything else, doctors included, failed. In cases of external trouble, inflamma tion, ulceration or itching humor, our Wash should be used in connection vrith the Remedy.
