One Year Cash In Advance # i.oc Six Months, " " So Three Months " " 2 5 Advertising Rates on Application TH'S PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE __ NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Thursday, September 14, 1911. THE RECALL. Chief Justice Clark, of oui State, has been preaching the doctrine for a good while that the Federal courts have no right to declare acts of Congress uncon stitutional, and this doctiine is beginning to win many adher euts. Chief Justice John Marshall assumed this prerogative and it was unquestioned for half a century or more of our national history. It would seem that it our country is to be conducted under a constitution, there ought to be some power somewhere to interpret the same. When Uncle Sam was a youth, the Supreme Court interpreted our laws so im partially as to establish a national conviction that this was their in alienable right. But when judges, in this latter day, began to yield to the influence of gold, fear be gan to grip the heart of the peo pie that even judges were not beyond temptation. The reversal by the Supreme Court of itself in the matter of the income tax vastly shook pop ular confidence in our courts. All this has led to the popular de mand for the possible "recall" ot judges. Arizona lost Statehood * because she insisted on the re- call, And now Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, has introduced a bill in the Senate providing that any Federal judge shall be "subject to recall by a resolution of Con gress," and proyiding for the popular election of district and circuit judges in their respective jurisdictions. We do not like the recall. It threatens to unsettle authority. Only as a last resort should it be invoked. Yet we must admit that there are many things in the administration of our laws that explain the agitation for it. SHOULD SERVE OUT THEIR TERMS. The Statesville Landmark com plains that Judge Biggs has gorn and resigned from the bench in the middle of his term becausf his duties kept him away from home so much and because he can make more out of his practice. The Landmark's point is tha? Judge Biggs defeated one of tht best judges the state ever had Judge Shaw, a man who could b> no means clear the guilty, Th« point is a good one. A judge is due the state to serve his term put. He ought to suck it dry, even if he does find that he has been handed a judicial lemon. BEATTIE GUILTY. The Old Dominion is very like England, and the Virginia branu of justice is verv like English justice. It is a great triumph fo justice that Henry Clay Beattie accused of murdering his beauti ful wife, because infatuated witl, the Binford girl, has been con vie ted and sentenced to be electrocu ted Nov. 24. Cluverius was hung McCue, the Charlottesville may or, was hung. And now Beatti must pay the penalty. As Judge Clark of the Statesville Land mark will say: "Glory to Vir ginia justice." Forced To Leave Home. Every year a large number of poo sufferers, whose lungs are sore and raced 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 Discover}' cure you at home. "It cured me ol 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 th»»ii lives and health to it. It J 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. WHAT DOES "CATAWBA" MEAN? We have a a pressing inquiry from our good friend, Postmas ter Charles. F. McKesson, of Morganton as to the meaning of die beautiful word "Catawba". He says "of course you know. You are from there." But we dont. We know that ■>A r anannoa means "Nymph of Beautv" and Tahkeeostee "racing waters" but .we confess that Catawba is the first Indian word we ever took acquaintance with wii.cii has no meaning. We are of opinion that it used to haye one until the Dutch came and that they, not having any par ticular use for either etymology or poesy, sold or traded it. Behold there came that way [shmaelites with camels bearing ipicery and cinnamon and myrrh, roing down into Egypt. No doubt our thrifty ances tors dug out of the depths of a >owdertown krout keg, the eu jhoniou?, grape-aromaed mean ng of the word and sold it to rhese Midianites for *2O pieces of silver. Anyhow it has gone and we '.annot fiiv.i any tracas of it. vVe vill give a years subscription to die Democrat to the llrst person >vho phones or mails us the correct et>mologv of the name >f our county (and one of its best Towns), of our great river, of our prosperous valley, and of one of the finest ilavoied grapes vhich made this section to flow with bloodied refreshment .vhen the Catawba Indians claim ed i t as their home. The Mull Reunion. Written for the Democrat. On Saturday Sept. 2nd there was a reunion of the Mull fami lies from the counties of Burke, Catawba, Lincoln and Cleveland. In a beautiful grove near Mull's Chapel, located seventeen miles south east of Morganton, a speak ers stand had been erected. The iirowd was estimated between 800 and 1,000. A splendid choir jpe.ied the services with a hymn and then an inspiring prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Gold. Capt. P. M. Mull, of Newton, was mas ter of ceremonies, and introduced Mr. Jno. M. Mull of M>rganton. In well chosen and apt words Mr. Mull welcomed the great au dience. He commended the spirit of brotherly love that promoted ! the reunion, urged that this spirit oe carried in our daily life and conversation. This said he "is your meeting, you can make of it a great success if you wish and vill. This is an historick spot, t'rom here our ancestors went torth to battle with life. Through toil and sacrifice many of them have obtained success in life. Others fighting against adverse wind and wave have been forced co the Egyptian iask of making brick without straw and that out of Nile like mud. While most oi chem began life without the gol Jen spoon, yet they were goo. jroviders for their loved ones ind ever stood for truth and tht ight. Here many of our ances ors are buried and the spo should be sacred to us." "My friends, I now have th oleasure of introducing to yoi. the speaker of the day. A man who needs no introduction to my audience in Western North Caro lina—my friend, the friend of hu manity, Charley McKesson, a.- everybody calls him." Mr. McKesson thanked hit friend for the commendation anc the committee for the invitatioi to be present. He looked over tht great audience, and a smile play ed over his face as he recited i humerous poem that greatly tick eled the crowd. Then after a fev rallies of wit, a capital joke, ht zave a history of the firs; Mull who came to Burkt -ounty from Pennsylvania. Con •:-ad Mull by name. In 1753 ht *ot a grant from Lord Granvilh for a section of 640 acres of lane on the waters of Catawba Rivei and Upper Creek, which waj called in that grant Molls Creek. Bellevue, the beautiful farm o the heirs of the late Joseph J. Ervin, was part of the Conrat Mull place. The Mull's cam* from Holland and their nam* was originally spelled Moelle They ever stood for law, libert\ justice, and all the nobler vir tues. Many of them are tht No Need To Stop Work. When your doctor orders you to stop work, it staggers you. "I can't," you say. You know you are weak, run down and failing in health, dav b;' day, but you must work as long as you can stand. What you need is Electric Bitters to give tone, strength, and vigor to \our system, to prevent break down and build you up. Don't ue weak, sickly or ailing when Electric Bitters will benefit you frcm the first dose. Thousands bless them for their glorious health and strength. Try them. Every bottle is guaranteed to satisfy. Only 25 at C. M. Shuford, Moser & Lutz and Grimes Drug Co, best type of our citenship. Un cle Jimmie Mull of Hunting Creek a Patriarch in our modern Isreal, Peter f. Mull of Lower Fork in Burke county, are all men worthy of the respect and confidence of their neighbors. Mr. McKesson then made some humorous criticism of the Dutch and why they came to the United States. But said he, I must tell you why we Scotch Irish camp to this county. One writer says it was because the British Parli ment was oppressive, another be cause of the shortage of the Irish potato crop; and stilhanother says that they came because the gov ernment doubled the tax on whis key. After giving a history of the Mulls he made a plea for the edu cation of the boys and girls and tnat they be given a fair chance in life and closed with a tender appeal to all present to pattern their life after the divine Ideal, Mr. Ottis Mull, a promising young lawyer of Shelby, made a brief but eloquent address on tne brotherhood of man. He is an earnest and captivating speaker. Mr. Peter P. Mull, of Burke, though over 80 years of age, gave an instructing and enter taining history of the Mulls oi Burke, and was satisfied that there were more than a thousand of them and their descendants. After this the choir sang an ap propriate hymn, followed by the benediction. Under spreading oaks, a great feast, fit for the gods, was spread and was greatly enjoyed. Apart from the sub stantial, there was an abundance of lemonade and most of the soda fountain drinks ice cold. It was a great day, great in numbers, great in historic re miniscences in the good seed sown and the spirit of good fellow ship that everywhere prevailed. On motion of Jno. M. Mull, Capt. P. M. Mull was authorized to ap point a committee to prepare a program for the reunion for 1912. Thus ended a day of real social joy, intellectual enlightment and absolutely free from the evil ol intemperance. Mr. Blackwelder to Practice Here. The Democrat noted the fact last week i hat Mr. Bascon Black welder had secured his license after taking the 10 weeks course ac Chapel Hill. It is a pleasure to be able to state that he will probably nang out his shringlc right here at home. The Demo crat predicts for him a very use ful life.

Campbells have liver in Hickory for upwards of 35 years, and their going woulo create a serious gap. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signatured Moie Room in the Graded Schools. The Democrat noted the f*v.t that the Graded school began work with 526 bupils present, an | increase of 43 over the atteru - ance on the first day last when 483 children were present. The time has come when Hick ory must take some step to pro vide more school room. For roo.e than a year the superintendent of the schools has been setting for the conditions and needs oi the school. In the early summer a mass meeting 1 of the citizens of Hickory was called to see what could be done to relieve the con gestion. But the attendance ot the meeting was so small that no definite results have followed. It is very probable that 600 children will be enrolled in the school by the end of the first month. It goes without saying that the teachers cannot do effi cient work under such crowded conditions. Some changes have been made in the plan of work, in order that pupils may com plete the work of each grade in one year; but thorough work can not be done when a teacher has 50 or more pupils. And yet it seems a waste of time to re quire children to spe nd two, years in each of the first second, and third grades. The increased attendance shows that the people of Hickory are alive to the importance of educat ing their children. And the verj next thing to be done is to set about the erection of anothei school building, that the work of the schools be carried on under more satisfactory conditions. Farmers, mechanics, railroaders, laborers rely on Dr. Thomas' Electric oil. Takes the sting out of cuts, burns or bruises at once. Pain can not stay where it is used. Sending a subscription to the Democrat, Mr. A. J. Bradshaw, who was here last spring, writes from Lis home in Au Sable, Mich: "I feel that it will be good to keep in touch with your thriving little city and its kind-hearted people." - Not A Word of Scandal marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W.
