HICKORY'S BEAUTIFUL
SOUTHERN R. R. DEPOT
The Elliott Building Company Has
Done a Splendid Piece of Work.
Written for the Democrat by
jjr. R. Wood Brown.
Railroads are decidedly piacti
cal and tha management oi
them do not have many spasms
of aesthetics, li they one
dollar, they are very apt to know
that tnere will be a net prolit
upon that one dollar re
turn. Railroad bridges and
trestles have to be secure anu
sate, but many times any olu
shack will do lor a depot if it
keep out the rain. Beautiful de
pots, large or small, are very
seldom erected uiness tariff
warrants it, and not always
tnen, even if the people
demand it. It is periectiy
natural for public utilities and
common carriers to economize ai
tne public expense, as long as
there are dividends to declare.
Sometimes a railroad will open
its strong heart and loosen its
purse strings ana it has done so
very acceptably by giving to
hickory a depot which is a credit
to the southern Railway anu a
decided addition to this city.
W.thout any positive knowl
edge, we will venture the
ion that, there are nji
many cities on the Southern
Kailroad, the size of HCK ry;
tn.it has a depot as beautuul as
tne one now near completion,
midway between the square, anu
the site for the new Post Office
and Federal Building.
The depot is 101 teet long by
by oO ieet wide. It is bunt oi
buck, the outside bem*, what is
ealieu Oriental brief to the
number of 3000. Tney are laid
Flemish Bond witn scratch
joints. The roof is covered witn
ieu tne. There are 81 squares
ot roof and 135 tile to tne square,
making 10,935 pieces of tue upon
tne roof proper and eaves. Tne
edge of the eaves andlgutters are
burnished copper, these with the
red tile and oriental brick giv
ing to the exterior a very har
monious effect, which ought to
please the Southern road as
well as it does the Hickorians.
At the west end of the depot is
an open shed 32 feet long by 26.
This shed as well as the depot
proper is surrounded by over-
Hanging eaves (a part of the
root) extending six feet from
the wall. The outside paint is
willow green which enhances the
sbeauty of the building.
While it is true that all rail
road depots must of necessity be
similar in construction, the hick
ory depot has been especially
designed to meet the require
ments of Hickory, and will cost
when completed $18,000.00. Be
tween 50 and 60 workmen have
had something to do, towards
making this depot a perfect
structure, with its electric illu
mination, modern and sanitary
plumbing, toilet rooms, walls and
ceiiing plastered and painted dif
it-rent tints.
The white waiting room
is z8 by 36 leet, the colored
waiting room 28 by 28 feet, the
baggage room 28 by 16 feet, la
dies retiring rooms 9 by 14 feet.
Handsome seats and settees will
accomodate the traveling public,
while tables and chairs in the
retiring rooms will afford com
lort ana rest to the weary, also
there will be convenience 4n case
•of accident or illness. The tick
et office is 13 by 24 feet and will
be arranged so that a patron of
of the road can be separated
from his cash with the greatest
ot ease and celerity. It is very
difficult to a person to ride free
on a railroad, unless he takes a
weeper on the brtakbeam, which
many "weary Willies are will
ing to do. The Hickorians al
ways travel first class.
The Hickory Depot is being
built by the Elliott Building Co.
Une ui hiCKorv's financial and
commercial men, J. D Elliott,is
the head, middle and end of the
Building Co. Mr. Worth Elliot
has charge of the actual con
struction and Mr. S. D. Moses as
the inspector for the Southern
Rfilroad, sees to it. that the
nails are not soaped and there is
enough sand in the mortar. The
Elliott Building Co. is now build
ing depots for the Southern
Kailroad at Lavonia, Ga.; Mc-
Donald, Ga., and Ridgecrest, N.
VJ,
i'rom what we can learn and
see there has been conscientious
work done on this depot. The
railroad's, architects, contract
ors and workmen, all, have tak
en pride in making Hickory's
new depot a monument to their,
painstaking efforts.

COMMENT
SHOULD HAVE DIVIDED UP.
Tue senatorship fight injects
itself into every phase of politics,
in tne State. Mr. R. L. Huffman,
who is a Catawba county man,
by the way, wa? asked by State
Chairman Webb to recommend
two Democrats for the Burke
election board. Complying. Mr.
Huffman named A. C. Avery, Jr.,
and H. C. Deaton. They were
Kitchin men, however, and the
majority of the county commit
tee petitioned Webb to appoint
instead J. L, Nelson and I. D
Cassels, two Simmons men.
Where Mr. Huffman and Mr.
Webb fell down, we think, was
in not dividing: up —giving Sim
mons one and Kitchin the other*
(if they were not disposed to let
Clark in anywhere on the deal )

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the contsitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send

mer and the fall The Democrat will be

Everybody knows that the Progres

southern progressive farmers. Made
in the South, by southern farmers, it
contains nothing not educating to the
southern farmer.
The Thrice-a-Week World is re
garded as the most reliable rural news
carrier in the South. As to the Demo
crat, it is well known that it is one of
the best, largest and most dependable
local newspapers in Western North
Carolina.
These three papers together are
really superior to a daily, and far
cheaper.

There are times to get mad and
refuse to pay; but when one's property
needs protecting is no time to get
mad and not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad
and wait that to paint.

Mr. Abernethy's Side of the Story
Mr. Arthur T. Abernethy thus explains
his recent lime-light experience in
Minneapolis, in a letter to the Charlotte
Observer:
The facts are that I, in company with
an officer from the sheriff's office, was
investigating, for a local daily paper,
some houses of ill repute which had
been ordered closed. A man, crazed, as
I afterwards learned, from some sort of
opiate or narcotic, rushed upon me as I
was leaving the building and attempted
to stab me. He only succeeded in cut
ting a couple of holes in my shirt and
making a slight superficial w'ound on
my left side. I grabbed his arm, took
the knife away from him and threw it
into the sewer. I then walked over to a
nearby drugstore and had the manager
fix a piece of court plaster over the cut
and went about my business. I did not
even have the man arrested, but turned
him over to a metropolitan police, as
they are known here, who advised me
later that the man is a prominent engi
neering contractor from Chicago and
that he mistook me for a Chicago man
against whom he had been nursing a
personal grievance.
Young Again.
Mr. J. L. Grimes, Thomasville, said:
' 'After recovering from a spell of fever
my system was run down, and for three
months I did not work. The first bot

Remedy set to going. I used
.hree bottles, and am as stout as when
