BIG DINNER FOR 60 VETERANS l
i 11
Hustling Little Burg in Lower Cald- 1
well Draws Big Crowds on its c
Gala Day—Big Crowds De- t
lighted With Speeches
and Races—The
Winners *
Granite Falls is not only the
most hustling little business
burg for its size in the State but
it is one of the most patriotic
towns under the Stars and 1
Stripes, It celebrated the Fourth '
with a grand jubilee, and many 1
people from Hickorv, Lenoir and
other near-by places attended.
Anybody would know that if
Granite Falls is ambitious enough 1
to aspire to be the county seat of 1
a new county made out of Cald- 1
well and Burke, she would do up
an Independence Day jubilation
in fine style, and that is what
'she did.
There were two splendid
j speeches by Judge Jeter C. Prit
chard, of Asheville, and Prof.
| -Woltz, of Chapel Hill, in which
| they took the Glorious Fourth
for their texts.
About 60 old Soldiers were
present to partake of the splen
did free dinner served for them
by the good ladies. The yeterans
and secret societies previously
participated in an imposing
parade.
There was great amusement
! for the immense crowd present
in the races, which were won as
follows:
Sam Musgroves, of Hickory,
fat man.
Charles Sherrill, horse.
Dr. 0. G. Corpening, motor
cycle.
R. G. Icard, bicycle.
Pink Coulter, sack.
Mr. Farthing, of Lenoir, wheel
barrow.
Drum boy, of Saw Mills, $2-00

COME DOWN, TAFT AND T. R.
Republicans Scared Over Wilson
and Want a New Leader.
A movement has developed
within the Republican party to
get both a Taft and Roosevelt to
withdraw, as Wilson's candidacy
is considered to greatly endanger
Republican success this year.
The movement appears to origi
nate among office-holders from
Congressmen on down to post
masters and revenue officers.
! Petitions for the resignations are
to be circulated in each state.
When Taft and T. R. step down,
a Republican who can win is to
be put up.
| Mr. Roosevelt laughs to scorn
the proposition. He says for him
to yield to the petitioners would
be to condone the steaHng of the
Chicago convention.
During the summer months mothers
of young children should watch for apy
unnatural looseness of the bowels.
When given prompt attention at this
time serious trovble may be avoided.

County Commissioners.
Newton News, 9UI.
The board of commissioners
met yesterday with the county
assessors, as the board of equali
zation, and passed on a few ob
| jections to the valuation of
I property as listed.
I The commissioners relieved G.
I E. Bollinger of tax on $4OO of
P property on the 1911 list; D. P.
I, Killian was relieved of poll and
g road tax for 1911. The report of
I the jury in the Dick Hutchinson
I road case was accepted.
I Ie was recommended by the
k board that the committee in each
p special school tax district furnish
s the register of deeds with a list
\ of all persons owning property
j and paying poll.
| The assistant assessors were
j paid off.
I Mail Carriers Will Fly
This is an age of great discoveries.
Progress rides on the air. Soon we
may see Uncle Sam's mail carriers
flying in all directions, transporting
mail. People take a great benefit in a
\ discovery that benefits them. That's
•j why Dr. King's New Discovery for
1 Caughs, Colds, and other throat and
lung diseases is the most popular med
icine in America, "it cured me of a
dreadful cough,'' writes Mrs. J. F.
Davis, Stickney Corner, Me., "after
doctor's treatment and all other reme
dies had tailed." For coughs, colds
or any bronchial affection it is une
qualled. Price 50c and $l.OO.

The Logical Candidate.
Elizabeth City Advance.
The fight at Baltimore was 1
ron by the progressives. No
nan who was a reactionary could
tave had a shadow of a chanc*
>efore that convention, and n
vas only one who was unequiv
»cally and unmistakably proj ;
fressive, without any dodging OJ ■
ssues, that was able to win the
lomination. And there is every
'eason to believe that the Demo
cratic nominee will be the next
,resident of the United States.
But before the fight to restore
;he government to the people
an be fought to a finish, we
nust have a progressive senate,
[ndeed the upper house of our
lational legislature is to be the
aattle ground where the interests
will make their iast stand.
North Carolina voted for
Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore,
rhere is no doubt that sentiment
in the old North State is over
whelmingly progressive. This
being true to every tnoughtlul
man Judge Walter Clark is the
logical choice of the people for
United States Senate from North
Carolina. If Josephus Daniels
and the News and Observer
were right in their effective fight
to win the State for Wilson, the
"Old Reliable" owes the same
hearty support to the candidacy
of Chief Justice Clark. For one
uf the other candidates is an out
and out reactionary and on the
otheis's progressiveness rests
the shawow of a doubt.
