State Secretary Huntington
Sent for to Get
Work Started.
A strong effort is being made
in tnis city at the present time
to organize a Young Mens Chris
tian Association. The disband
ment of the Hickory Club has
emphasized the need of a place
for young men to gather and
have a place for resting, reading
and writing—a home, especially
for the young men who come
from outside of the city to accept
positions here. Dr. L. Lankford,
in his recent address to men,
strongly advised the establish
ment of such an institution as a
safeguard agains the temptations
peculiar to the men and the boys.
A number of the men of the
city and the good women too are
interested in this effoi t Several
of the gentlemen who belonged
to the Club have purchased the
furniture and fittings of that
institution and generously offer
to donate the same to a Y. M. C,
A. if it is organized. This will
be a great help and will save a
large expense. The furniture is
quite hand&ome, too, and would
give the interior of the rooms
an elegant look.
The pastors of the city are
taking an active interest in the
enterprise, and Secretary G. C.
Huntington has been written to
at Charlotte to come to Hickory
at an early date to get this
on its feet. The p'an is to go
siowlv and grow. At first rooms
will be secured, and later on, as
the interest in the work grows
a building can be secured.
There is a pressing need here
'di the present for a Y. M. C. A.,
and the need is a call to the good
people of the city to rally to the
enterprise.
Gopenhaver—Miller.
The following cards have been
received in this city:
Reverend and Mrs Jefferson
P. Miller request the honor of
your presence at the marriage of
their daughter Grace Virginia to
Mr. Luther Marvin Copenhaver
on Wednesday evening, June the
twenty-sixth at forty-six minutes
after five o'clock at Marion

ginia.
Mrs. Taylor has gone to Blow
ing Rock to take charge for the
summer of her splendid hotel
the Blowing Rock, and the indi-.
actions are for a fine season.
THE CATAWBA COUNTY
HOOKWORM DISPENSARIES.
They are Proving Very Popular,—
Nearly a Thousand People Ex
amined During the First
Two Weeks.
The attendance at each of the
five points in the county where
the state and county free hook
worm dispensaries have been es
tablished is rapidly increasing.
During the first week 210 exami
nations were made. During the
second, last week, 599 were
made, making a total of 809 ex
aminations that have been made
during the first two weeks of the
dispensaries. Of which 25 and
a fraction percent have proven to
be infected with the worms. 338
were children of school age [6-
18, inclusive] Of these 38 and a
fraction percent showed a hook
worm infection. In addition to
the above 31 have proven to be
infected with the round worm,
or eel worm; 24 infected with the
dwarf tape worms; 7 infected
with the seat worm; two infected
with the whip worms, and two
with the Strongyloides, a worm,
lowing to its rarity, which has
not been given a more com
mon name.
Judging from the number of
containers that have been given
out it is hardly probable that
the number of examinations for
each of the four remaining
weeks will be under a thousand
per week. Indicating that at
least half of the people will take
advantage of the opportunity
that is now being given them by
the county. And why not? The
satisfaction in knowing that you
do not harbor any of these in
fections is certainly worth the
trouble to find out, while on the
other hand, should you prove to
be infected, the medicines they
will give you will certainly ben
efit your health by ridding your
self of these infections.
It is interesting to visit the
dispensaries and watch the
crowds gather. Listening to their
experiences, some seem sur
prised on finding that they are
infected with the various kinds
of worms; others, disappointed on
finding they are not infected, be
lieving that their various ailments
are due to such causes and that
on taking treatment will be
cured. Here and there we
find those who have
been treated saying that
they feel better than they have
felt for years and aie gaining
weight rapidly.
The following is the report giv
en us by Dr. Covington showing
the number of examinations
\
made at the various points:
At Hickory 97 examinations;
art Claremont 137; at Ford-Whis
nant's 144; at Maiden 207; at
Newton 159.
Here last Tuesday Dr. Coving
ton had one of the local photog
raphers to take pictures of his
bad cases. In a few weeks these
will be photographed again so
that all might see the results.

t COMMENT |
Citizens of a highly respec
table part of the city complain to
the Democrat that there is a
combined blind tiger and dis
orderly house in their neighbor
hood, where men are seen
entering and departing both day
and night. They have appealed
to the city authorities to stop the
nuisance, and they are entitled
to protection. We hope the
authorities will put their best
detectives to work on the case.
We realize that it is difficult to
get definite evidence in a case
like this but it can be done if
gone.at in dead earnest. We are
told that the neighbors are ready
to testify what they know if
called upon for evidence. This
is a menace to the morals of the
community that must be got rid
of.
By its recent contest the Democrat
has added about 400 new names to its
circulation, which now reaches 2,000,
and to this fact we call the attention
of advertisers, both local and foreign
We congratulate the winners, and are
sorry we could not give prizes to all
who worked. We wish to thank the
clever members of the Joyce syndicate
for their efforts. We wish also to
thank Messrs. P. C. Setzer, C. W.
Ellington aid W. X. Reid for their
kind offices in acting as judges at the
windup. We wish also to thank our
readers not interested in the contest
for bearing with us, while, we were
compelled to give so much space to
this enterprise.
