THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
A. C., C. & O. R. R. Farm.
Geo. Byrne in Manufacturers Record.
Illustrating, as it is intended
to do, what can be done by good
farming, a farm owned by the
railroad may be held up as an ex
ample. This farm lies a short
distance from Altapass, N. C.,
the station at the summit of the
Blue Ridge, where the road
crosses from Gulf to Atlantic
waters. It comprises a number
of old hillside farms or "patches''
that have been under alleged
cultivation for many a years.
Tnere is no level ground upon
the tract, and practically every
acre of it is so stony that it
seemed almost a hopeless task to
work it properly. Mr. R. F.
Brower, industria' agent of the
road, took hold of it and en
deavored to show what could be
done by good farming on old
ground. By deep plowing, care
ful seed selecti n and proper
cultivation he made it bring forth
a crop of corn that averages 35 i
to 40 bushels to the acre from the
entire boundary, some of it, of
course, bringing a good deal more
and some a good deal less. This
was the result of good farming,
without fartll'zing, an 4 in a pea
son ot almost unprecedented
drouth. It is doubtful if any
individul acre of this land, in all
the years of scratch-the-top cul
tivation to which it had been sub*
jected had ever brought forth so
abundant a harvest. Meantime
the entire body has been set in
apples and berries, which are
growing thrifty and will doubt
less bring forth abundantly in
due seasons, according to their
kind.

A Welcome to
Corinth Church.
Various Congregitijjs Worship
With Dr. Miirphj's People.
The capacity of C >rinth fte-
I formed church- was t ixed to the
| utmost Sunday night when the
several churches of the city join
ed with the congregation of tnat
church in celebrating the com
pletion of the handsome edifice.
Brief addresses were made by
Rev. Messrs, Moody, of the
Episcopal, Harte of the Baptist,
and Garth of the Presbyterian
churches, while Rev. W. W.
W. Rowe brought greetings from
Grace church, Newton. Mr. Lit
aker of the Methodist church,
was prevented from attending
by sickness, but his peeple were
out in numbers.
There was a beautiful anthem
by the choir at the opening while
Prof. K. B. Patterson, of the
Lenoir College faculty, rendered
an exquisite number on the violin
after the, second address.
Mr. Moody wore his surplice.
T le said tV of worship of
this citv were a credit to the
people and reminded one of the
old days w hen the cathedrals
were built and when nothing was
to costly for God and His word,
This congregation was an evir
dence of the growing spirit of
unity, which is the will of God
and the mind of Christ. It is no
use to sav ''Thy will be done" if
we are not trying to promote the
unity of all God's children. The
lack of unity is a great hindrance
to personal religion. The world's
conversion in answer to Christ's
last command is impossible while
the church is cut up into a thous
and fragments.
Mr. Harte said the strength of
a church did not consist in the
costliness or commodiousness of
pf the church building. Jesus,
the apostles and many of the
church fathers did not
church houses in which to wor
ship. Wesley preached under
the trees. Let us not mistake
wojd and brick for the might and
power of God A rich church
does not count unless the wealth
is conscrated. A strong church
consisted in a loyal membership:
in converting power, for that
church is a failure, no matter
how beautiful its building, which
fails to save sinners; and in not
getting too fine for the poor
f Iks.
Mr. Garth appealed for a deep
er spirituality in the membership
of the churches. The church is
not the building but the people.
The church in the New Testa
ment is called a spiritual "builds
ing" and also "saints." He
appealed for a keener conscience
and a greater faith.
Mr. Rowe said that he was a
child of the church. He refer
red to the fact that 42 years ago
it was organized by Dr. Ingold,
who preached the first sermon
ever preached in Hickory, W:th
45 members. Out of this num
ber only six are living. This
beautiful edifice is the third
which the congregation has
built. He also appealed for
loyalty and deeper spiritual life
Each speaker brought kindly
words of greeting to Dr. Murphy
and he replied briefly, touching
ly and appreciatively, calling by
name the pastors of bygone dayf,
and referring to the new church
es which had been built not only
in the city but in the suburbs
and by the colored people.

I COMMENT. I
FAN THE FIRE.
We were astounded when we
read that the N. C. Teachers As
sembly had howled down their
own -president. We are glad,
therefore, to have a letter from
Prof, C. M. Staley, the broad
gauged and thoughtful superin
tendent of the Hickory schools,
who was present, in which he
places the blame whereat justly
belongs, upon a few,' We go
farther and say that we under
stand these rioters were some
county superintendents, who
owe their jobs to politics. Of
course we do not believe all the
county superintendents were
guilty. The city superintendents
had a meeting later, we read
in the press, and refused to con*
demn Mr. Coon,
Tn his letter to this paper, Mr,
Staley says that the people
must take a more active part in
shaping our educational policy.
True, but they do not understand
our cumbersome system. We
need to give them a bird's eye
view of the conditions, as they
are. Such was Coon's speech.
We wish such men as Coon and
Connor would flood the State
with literature, as prolific even
as our hookworm campaign
pamphlets, picturing the con?
ditions and the needs. Make the
language as simple as "Baker"'
in the Biue Back. Let's fan the
fire that Coon kindled.
The editor of the Democrat in
personally canvassing for his
paper has met family after
fomily in the mill suburbs who
said there was not a member of
the household who coulo
read;and in the back lots wt
have come across farmers who
said neither they nor their wives
could read. Let us send a dtle
gation to the next Legislature
instructed for a six months school
term for Catawba county.
HOLIDAY FIRE WARNING

Lightning Kills Few
In 1906 lightning killed only
169 people in this whole country.
One's chances of death by light
ning are less than two in a mil
lion. The chance of death from
livei, kdney or stomach troble
vastly greater, but not if Electric
Bitters be used, as Robert Madi
son, of West Burlington, la.,
proved. Four doctors gave him
up after eight months of suffer
ing from virulent liver trouble |
and yellow jaundice. He was
then completely cured by Electric
Bitters. They're the best stom

Who Howted
Mr. Coon Down?
Sopt. Stale; Endorses Him As
to Elementary Schools.
To the Editor of tlie Democrat.
It is not fair to the teachers of
Morth Carolina, those who are
ictually engaged in the work oi
teaching, to allow the impression
to go out that they had any part
n howling down Mr. C>>n at
the meeting of the Teachers' As
sembly in Raleigh. The rea
teachers in that body gave him
t courteous hearing, and even
those who did not agree with his
conclusions respected him for
laving the courage of his con
victions. There are only a few
lersons who took part in tlv
riotous proceedings, and they
vere those who will not permit
iny criticism of their pet fads
ind measures. Their actions
vas a striking illustration of the
":ruth of Sam Jones's sayings,
that "The hit dog is the one that
IOWIS."
The main thought in Mr.
Coon's speech was that the ele
mentary schools are the most
mportant in our educational
system, and that they should be
civen the first thought and con
si ieration. Every one knows it
0 be true that the elementary
chools have not been receiving
:air and just treatment at the
. lands of those who would pose
is the educational leaders of the
State. Yet these same would-be
eaders think it high treason,
"lese majeste," for any one to
lare criticise the conditions
which exist in the common
schools.
People everywhere are coming
o realize that more attention
must be given to the elementarj
public schools. Only a few days
ago a level-headed citizen of
Hickory, whose daughter is teach
ing in the public schools of the
'.ounty, speaking to me
about the defects in our schoo
system, and he was even more
emphatic than Z r. Coon in his
2riticism of '■he educational
oolicy of the State. He was re
ferring particularly to the folly
of requiring a teacher to attempt
to teach forty or fifty pupils in all
the seven grades. He knows,
and every body else knows, that
there is something radically
wrong with an educational sys
tem that will force the teacher
in the elementary school to teach
fifty or even sixty pupils in seven
grades, and at the same time
will not allow the teacher in the
State high schools to teach more
than two grades with only twen
ty or twenty-five pupils. The
elementary teacher must have
thirty or more recitations a day;
the high school teacher is not
allowed to have more than ten.
And it was this system that Mr,
Coon was attacking, when blind
egotism and intolerance went to
such lengths.
One lesson is clearly taught by
tie disgrceful occurance at
Raleigh. The teachers who are
trying to do the best they car,
under the many hindrances
placed upon them, and the peo
ple who are vitally concerned in
securing better schools for their
children, must take a more ac
tive part in shaping the educa
tional policy of the State, They
could, if they so wished, retire t
"innocuous desuetude" those
who are so self-opinionated that
they will not brook any criticism
of their policies and measures
The real teachers and the people
can bring about a change for the
better in the elementary schools
if they will. And this is a thing
most earnestly to be desired.

Commissioner Graham at Odds
Wi h Dr. Kilgore.
Raleigh Di-patch, 6th, to Greensboro
News.
In this annual report to the
3oard of Agriculture, Commis
sioner Graham gives the board
to understand that he will fol
low out the law with regard to
nis duties, as interpreted by him
self, and the Attoney General,
without regard to the opinion of
certain members of the board.
He hints at interference on the
part of a faction of the board and
says, in effect, that they are en
deavoring to usurp his authority.
The issue, it seems, is between
the Commissioner and the State
chemist, Dr. B. W. Kilgore, the
ooard having attempted to sepa
rate this division from the au
thority of the commissioner.
Another matter which the com
missioner is opposed to is the tak
ing of a representative of the de
partment from the finance com
mittee of the board.
Major Graham says he will
treat the board courteously, and
will comply with their wishes so
I long as the law is complied with
but he gave them to understand
that he knew his duties fairly
well and was capable of atten
ding to them.
He reviews fully the progress
made by the farmers in the
matter of agriculture. The pro
duction of cotton, corn and wheat
has increased more than any sin
gle year in the State's history,
despite the long drought that
prevailed over a large section of
the State last summer. The fi
nancial statement shows that the
receipts of the department for
the year were $209,697.60, while
the disbursements ammounted to
$211,651.74.
With reference to the State
chemist and his work, the com
missioner is of the opinion that
a practical farmer could best
look after the test farms, he
does not believe in applying a set
of formulas, he says, wnen these
have been prooved unsatisfactory
for a certain farm, and he sug
gests variations. He recommen
ded that the office of assistant
director of the test farms be a
bolished and the officer removed
to some other division, as his
services are not needed.
