C., JAN. 25,1912. DEAR SISTERS. There are two men in this county whom the Democrat wish es to pat on the back. One is Mr, W. 0, Feimster and the other is Mr. Geo W. Cochran. Both are from Newton. The reason we wish t"> commend them is that th-iy are al ways working to keep Newton and Hickory on friendly terms. Both towns are occasionally a bit inclined to be green-eved of each other, Hick ory eying Newton's court house with jealousy and Newton Hick ory's growth. Butitisa standaff. Both are coming towns, and we are sisters. Feimster and Coch ran are always saying in their polite way: "Madame Catawba, you ought to be proud of these two nice, sweet girls, not to speak of all the younger children. The old est is so cultured and refined and prettv and the younger is such a good girl to work—always got her pium arms in the dish pan helping mother do the workh," Feimster talked like this at the Hickory Chamber of Commerce banquet and Cochran ever and anon does the like in his news paper. It's the correct chat We can't help falling out with each other sometimes. All nor mal, healthy sisters do that. But we must always kiss and make up. Newton, darling; you sweet thing. Smack, smack, smack. Whenever you need to borrow our coal oil can, come over and get it. HICKORY AND HEALTH. The address of Dr. W. $. Rank in, of Raleigh, Secretary of the State Board ot Health, was the ablest of its kind we ever heard. Dr. Rankin martialed the facts concerning the preventability of disease in a masterly manner. His speech teemed with startling statements, One and a half mil lion people die in the United States every year and 40 percent of these deaths are preventable. We are shocked at 5,000 murders annually, and yet 25,000 deaths occur from lack of proper quar tee alone. Dr. Rankin ought to be sent foi everywhere there is a desire to clean up, to save little children and to live longer. He reels off yards of remarkable statistics without ever looking at a note. Dr. Rankin does not accept the report of Hickory's death rate of 8 1-2 in every 1000 per year against the ayerage of 15 in the country at large. He says it is too remarkable to believe. He is going to investigate personally. If it is true, or near true, it is a great asset for us. But Hickory is uncleanly in spots. We need to tune up to the air and the climate we have. Of this, more anon. It was with deep regret that the Democrat announced last week that the Rev. J. S. Moody and his family would leave here for Arizona to make their future home on account of the health of Mr. Moody's son, which de mands a very dry climate. Mr. Moody has been a strong force in the religions and in t .•liectual life of the community. H > is a man of the highest schol ar hip. Under great difficul ties he has built up the Epis c >oal parish here and leaves a in nument to his energy and zeal i«: the beautifully remodeled little c • irch. We will long miss h m nd his delightful family. Click of the Mercurj', says h jfives babies the likes of us or, y milk when we go to preach in* at his place. But we don't ike skimmed milk, Reverened. OUR FORMIPABLE RIVAL, j We Jest a valued farmer sub seriber this week because wi would not sell him the D -*nn »cra for less than a dol! v J. y That is little enough for a week y home paper. We cut the p r ice to half for preachers, but for nobody else. He said he could get the Kansas City Star for iess than SI.OO. He is going t> ci? out both the Demerit anit»- Progressive Farmer at $1.50 an take the Kiusas C*t/ "Angels and ministers of grace defend us!" John Brown, Dred Scott, Petfer, sunflowers and grasshoppers! What can the Kansas City Star tell our friend about the price of butter and cab bage on the Hickory market where he trades? What can it tell him about the death of the pioneer merchant, the last fire, the meeting of the county com missioners or the election of con stable in Hickory township? Take the Hon, Mebane's paper, or Uncle Frank William's paper, or Rev. Jesse Click's milk bottle, !if you are going to quit us bu the Kansas City Stai You'll need a Lick telescope to read a Star that far away. Hickory, which runs a Cream ery which is fast attracting the attention of the whole country, will be especially interested t> learn that the Southern Railway has, under President Finley's or ders, planned, a schedule be ginning Feb. Ist. foi a Dairy Spe cial, which will run all over the roads territory, to give lessons in dairying. It will be under the directions if the Southern's dairy agent, Mr. C. M. Morgan, of Washington. Ihe Special is fit ted up with a complete dairy, and stereoptical lectures will be given at the various stops. This is another commendable work by the Southern for the benefic of the South. The Albermarle Chronicle an nounces that Mr. R. G. Mace, recently editor of the Times-Mer cury, has become editor and business manager of that paper. The Chronicle is fortunate. Mr. Mace is one of the finest men we have met with in a newspaper lfe of 22 years. We predict a great career for the Chronicle un der his guidance. We wish to commend Con gressman E. Y. Webb for in troducing his bill to forbid the shipment of liquor into prohi bition states. And we also want to ask the four senatorial candi dates in North Carolina if each one will support and vote for it, if elected. There will be a convention in Raleigh Jan. 2G, 27 and 28 to stimulate the temperance sen timent of the people. Capt. R. P. Hobson, Kev. P. A. Baker and Hon. Jno. G. Wooley will speak. All friends of temperance are invited to be present. The Democrat hopes Catawba county will be well represented. Mr. J. D. Elliot in his neat lik: speech at the banquet, fittingly referred to Hickory's passengei service on the Southern and Carolina & Northwestern Rail ways of 12 passenger trains a day. It is a great service. The F. S. Royster Guano Co's plant at Tarboro was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of SIOO,OOO. The Democrat regrets this dis aster. The Royster guano is an excellent fertilizer, much valued in this section, and advertised now in this paper. Try it. Gladden Acquitted. The jury refused to believe the story of John Ross, who accused Frank Gladden, a white painter, of forcing him to help murder the Dixon family in Cleveland county, and Gladden was acquit ted. Ross was convicted and will be electrocuted. Rheumatism. i This is often a disease of the blood though not always It attacks usually the joints and tissue and causes a de posit of uric acid.

M Tpayrue was a woman of the Confederacy, of which she was ornri, She aided in the gr- c t s- rugle f»»r rights. She wa« born September fifth, 1820, died January fifth 1912. b-?ing 85 yaars and four months old. Sne joined the Baptist church in her youth and was a constant and faithful until death. She being paralyzed with a sec ond stroke, could not speak but in action she told us where she was going and that she was ready: she sat dumb but not mo tionless and pointed to Heaven ; above as much as to say she ! wai.ted to meet us up there. Asleep, asleep, blessed sleep. ''From which none ever wake to weep." Thou art gone: a precious friend. Thy good work is at its end. Many are the years that's passed. Thy destination is reached at tast. When first were the trials be gun Of this life -thought to be fun. Eighty s'x years and more have passed. But the question to be asked: '"Was she ready? Was her work done? v I answer, yes: her race was run. • Rist thou! a rest serene vV here mortal eyes have never seen. Where mortal flesh doth not corrupt, Where sinful acts does not till up, Where pain and sadness en ters not And where no sorrow mars the lot, Where death can never enter, Where all joys makes their center. When called she willingly o beyed, And in the ground her bed they made. In sweet repose we leave thee, We !:now Satan's lost his fee. Because we heard one say— ''l've seen her in the month of May, I've seen her in December's days, She's fairer now as here she lays Than in spring time any where In summer or autumn fair." Thou art "at rest," 'twas truly said, As thou art now among the dead, But with the living so it be Thou art with Christ: He is with thee! Thou from us hast ever gone To the angels thou hast flown, We bid thee now a long fare well, When we will meet 'tis hard to tell. But when the t'me shall draw nigh- I mean the time when we must die, — To die like thee in love in peace, Whene're oar hearts shal' ever cease. Rest though in peace, undis turbed. In mansions that are quiet su-i perb. Where angles sing, and ever cheer For sll the world shall gather there. The grave —it seems, but sand and clay- But heaven is not far away, For when in Cnrist we doeth die 'Twas only our bodies that rhere lie; Our souls are very far from there Far from pain .and earthly caie. True, thy bed of clay was made But God upon it a cover laid; 'T was—or at least it seems so— For thee a cover God sent in snow. The snow was white and seem ed so pure There was a resemblance in you 'tis sure. You are cold and silent, 'tis true, But we know the work which thou did do. , Thou' you gone, your mem ory stays, Its hand upon our memory lays, A noble woman such was she And shall aiways in our mem ory be.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD STOMACH The newspapers and medical jour nals recently have had much to say relative to a famous millionaire's offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too bus 7 to worry about the condition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspep sia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable. His misfortune serves as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dyspep sia for a few years will give everything -he owns for a new stomach Dyspepsia is commonlv caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices, cr by lack of tone in the walls of the stomach. The result is that the stomach loses its power to digest food. We are now able to supply certain missing elements - to help to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to aid to restore the stomach strong and well. We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab lets are a most dependable remedy for disordered stomachs, indigestion, and dyspepsia.

Hooper, Nebraska.—"l am very glad to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped me. Forfive years I suffered from female troubles so I was scarcely able to do my work. I took doc tors' medicines and used local treatments but was not helped. I had such awful bearing down pains and my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep and my friends thought I could not live long. At my request my husband got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound and I commenced to take it. By the time I had taken the seventh bottle my health had returned and I be gan doing my washing and was a well woman. Atone time for three weeks I did all the work for eighteen boarders with no signs of my old trouble return ing. Many have taken your medicine after seeing what, it did for me. I would not take SIOOO and be where I was. You have my permission to use my name if it will aid anyone."—Mrs. SUSIE TEM PLETON, Hooper, Nebraska. ThePinkham record is a proud and peer less one.

DO IT NOW Hickory People Should Not Wait Until it Is Too Late The appalling death rate from kid" I ney disease is due in most caiies to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the suf ferer goes gradually into the grasp of dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kid..ey complaint. If you suffer from backache, head aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre tions are irregular of passage and un natural in appearance, do not delay Help the kidneys at once.
