Established 1899 SIMMONS REPLY TO LOBBYING CHARGE. He Was Trying Only to Keep Prom ise Made in the Hand-book. A Washington dispatch gives Senator Simmon's reply to charges of lobbying maJe against him by Solicitor H. S. Ward in his speeches in the Clark cam paign: "Mv attention has been called to an article in the News and Observer in which the Honora ble H. S. Ward, a Clark senator ial campaigner, uses this lan gjage: »'• 'Senator Simmons also de «*friecl lobbying the Senate of '5)9 to defeat the railroad income tax. He knows that he sat down in the seat of Fields by my side and asi.ed me to vote against it and told me the reason he asked me was he had promised the railroads it wouldn't be done. I voted as he asked me to redeem the promise of my party.' "A few months ago. Mr. Ward in a speech at Washington, N. C., inferentially at least intimated that in the campaigns I have conducted for the Democratic party I had acquired skill in ille gal practices. He is now seek ing to attack me for what the State Democratic executive com mittee under my chairmanship did in 1899 in the effort to bring all the white people together in one supreme effort to overthrow neyro domination. "I have no recollection of hav ing talked with Mr. Ward about the maiter of the gross incom - \ tax on railroads proposed in the j legislature of 1890; I may have, i 1 taiued to many Democratic leaders of that legislature not only with regard to this but with respect to other promises made in that year with a view to set tling controversies and bringing the white people together to put an end to the negro business. There was absolutely no conceal ment about the matter; what was done was open and above board. "In the beginning of that great' campaign in the face of a fusion ' majority of 40,000 1 felt, as did j mv advisers, that the fight was ; hopeless unless factional differ ences couid be adjusted and all i the interests of the State brought J in harmony and active coopera-j tion to save our civilization. With a view to accomplishing this result Governor Jarvis and others traveled the State, con , ferring with men engaged in all lines ot industry, securing pledg es of hearty cooperation, financi- j al and otherwise. The manufac-: tures responded, the railroad] people responded, thef*" asked nothing except fair treatment and that there should be no dis criminatory legislation by the legislature that we might elect. They were given assurances, and i by my direction a chapter was added to the Hand-Book pledging the party,if we succeeded .against the enactment of legislation discriminatory to any legitmate interest. We did succeed. When the legislature met an act was in troduced to impose a gross in come tax upon the railroads which the railroads claimed would be discriminatory and they appealed to me as chairman of the committee, calling atten tion to the Hand-Book promise. I called the matter to the atten tion of members of the legisla ture, not stealthily as the lobbyist does, but openly giving them all the facts and requested that the phghud faith of the party be kept. It was kept. "This was not the only prom ise the committee made which it was called upon to ask the legis lature to redeem and which the legislature did redeem. Eyery thing was done in the open. "That is the history of the whole matter. The legislature knew that what was done to re claim the State from the slough of negroism and save our civili zation. I have no apology to mai'e to Mr. Ward. Mr. Butler, Mr. Russell, or anybody else who may think it profitable at this time to revamp Republican mis representations to injure me for what I did or what was done by my co-laborers in the campaign of 1898 and 1900 and in which was involved the weal or woe of the people of the State for all time to come. "If Mr. Ward thinks he can wake anything out of rehashing the old Butier-Russell charges against me in connection with my work as chairman of the com mittee, I have nothing to say in fe piy to him on that except that J feel secure and I think my co laoorers may feel secure against ''is innuendoes and charges in a of the white people of iNorth Carolina both of this and mure generations." THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT Sore Mouth ui Cattle or "Stom atitis" From many localities in the Pied mont and mountain sections of the S*ate have come recent reports of a disease infecting the mouths of the cattle. From investigations made the symptoms indicate "Mycotic Stoma titis," which signifies inflamation of the mucous membranes of the mouth, tongue, and sometimes nostrils, caused by eating irritating fungi. The Cause: The disease is*the re sult of cattle eating feed containing irritating fungi or mould, is frequent ly found in the pastures in unusually hot, wet seasons and immediately after —ihe heat and moisture being" conducive to its growth and develop ment. The Symptoms. The first symp tcms noticed would be a dripping of i saliva from the mouths, disinclination jto eat and drink, sluggishness of the ■ cattle, and a slight stiffness of the | legs. Upon careful examination of j the cattle we would notice the lips, | mucous membrane lining of the mouth and the end of the tongue, red anu* inflamed: or. if the disease had j progressed further we would see some j ulceration of the mucous membranes of the mouth, tongue and lips, and a | bad odor present. Uoon careful ex amination of the feet we might notice very small ulcers appearing at the top cf the hoofs. In case of milch cows there would be a great decrease in the flow of milk. Perhaps reddened or irritated surface on the u wer and teats, and a general stiffness of the legs. When the cattle are compelled to move they usually do so with diffi culty. Animals usually lie down a majority of the time. In very severe cases t*>e general appearance of the animals affected is one of marked de pression, inability to eat or drink, and i an increase of pulse and temperature. I Treatment: The affected animals I should be removed from the pasture ! where they have contracted the disease | and be well cared for and placed on ; dry feed, fed on bran mashes or easily digested food, and given pleanty of fresh water. In this water should be placed one teaspoonful of Chlorate of Potash to each gallon. The mouths should be well swaboed two or three times daily with an antiseptic solution, using for this either carbolic acid or creoline 3 per cent, or one teaspoon j ful of alum dissolved in one quart of ' water. After the mouths have been j thoroughly swabbed with this solution, one teaspoonful of dusting powder composed of alum and sulphur, equal ; parts, should be sprinkled in the ; mouths. In case of constipation it is well to give one pound of Epsom salts dissolved in one quart of warm water.. When ulcers appear on the feet and udder they should likewise be bathed , in the antiseptic solution and the same dusting power could be used to ad vantage. j If animals are properly treated there I should not be more than one or two j deaths per hundred.

Catawba county, rich in her agricultural resources and possi bilities, for many years played at the business of road making, as we are doing at present in the good county of Caldwell. But we are forced to own that Cataw ba is getting ahead of us now in the matter of building modern public highways. Newton and Hickory townships have each re cently voted $50,000 of bonds and j last week the work of road building actually began in New ton township. This is only the beginning of a good system of public roads which will soon be constructed into every part of 'Catawba county, HICKORY, N.C., THURSDAY. AUGUST 29, 1912 Home Canner Company Written for the Democrat by Dr. R. Wood Brown. The demonstrations that this con cern gave at the Farmers' Institute at Newton were very interesting. To make a stew you must first catch the rabbit. Equally essential is fruit for the canning process. At this demon stration tomatoes were used. After being piepared properly by the Girls' Canning Club of Catawba county, they were put in the cans and the caps placed on. A circular soldering iron quickly seals the cans, which are put in a tank j>f boiling water, there to re main as long as the different fruit requires. This process of the Home Canner Company is so simple it seems almost a waste of time and words to explain it. For instance, it takes only 25 minutes for tomatoes to he canned and ready for the pantry shell. Under this process, with ordinary care and perfect cleanliness, there is no spoiled fruit or broken glass jars. The cans are so much cheaper than jars. This is desirable where a large quanti ty of fruit is canned. The water is boiled by a small portable stove which cooks two dozen cans at a time. The stove, being light in weight and portable, can be placed in a cool spot in the yard and thus makes putting up fruit for winter use a pleasure instead of a hot and tiresome occupation. This firm has sold over 10,000 com plete canning outfits, also 3,000,000 cans a year from their local plant and from the can factories. The Home Canner Company owns and controls the canning'outfits; the tin cans can be purchased when and where desired Mr. E. L. Flowers is the originator of this canning outfit, which is patent ed. Five years ago he started out demonstrating his canning process in cities, towns and villages and today the products of his firm are shipped to every state in the Union. No travelling men are employed; this being strictly a mail order business. In Greensboro, last summer, the Home Canner Company was endorsed by the State Government above other canning systems, and is now being used by the Girls'. Tomato Clubs throughout the Union. The Home Canner Company handles ah canning supplies under the m anagement of E. L. Flowers, assisted by A. W. Cline and B. A. Miller. Miss Mabel Hight,~as the dextrous stenographer, must be reckoned with vhen the suc cess of the Home Canner Company is consideied. At Catawba Springs. Under Mr. Frank Elliott's personal management this year old Catawba Springs is drawing a goodly number of people. The following were registered there last week: Mrs. J. L. Staten, Virginia H. Staten, Loyd Staten, Jr., Char lotte; George Briggs, Miss D. S, Staten, Valdasta, Ga; Mrs. S. L. Rhyne. Cammilla and Helen Rhyne, Newton; Mrs. D. E. Av ers, Miss Mary Dunovant, Ches ter, S. C.; Mrs. Arnold Borden, Goldsboro; Mrs. E. W. Lyon, Mrd. H. W. Reinhardt, Mrs. Ly on Homes and son, Greensboro; Mrs. H. J. Holbrook, Miss Eliza beth Holbrook; Mrs. H. J. Hol brook, Miss Margaret Holbrook, Hickory, N. C.; Mr. and Mrs. Job Cobb, Tarboro; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Watson, Mr. and Mrs,, Geo. B. Stewart, Charlotte; Mrs. A. P.

Methodist Colony at Black Moun tain. The Methodist Church is now to have a colony near Black Mountain, where the Presby terians at Montreat, the Metho dist at Bridgewater, and the Y. M. C. A. at Biack Mountain are already entrenched. The Methodist Colony was or ganized with a tract of 800 acres west of Black Mountain. The place will be divided into 4,500 lots, which are to be sold off to dividuals at SIOO each. The first 500 lots sold will pay for all of the property bought by the Colony. There will be no specu lation by any one connected with the Colony, as all of the surplus will be put in an auditorium, ho tels, lakes and buildings and other improvements on the prop erty and grounds. The Colony is formed by mem bers of all of the different de nominations of the Methodist church from all over the South, and the Colony represents over three million people who belong to the denomination. The Colony will in no way con flict with the Southern Metho dist Assembly at Waynesville, of which Bishop Atkins is the lead ing spirit. The Assembly rep resents only the branch of the church, while the Colony will f represent each one of the branch, COMMENT THE CANCER GERM? Dr. Gaston Odin, % Paris physician, claims to have dis covered the germ of cancer, and invented an anti-cancer serum If so, it will be an inestimable boon to mankind. LET GOOD ENOUGH ALDNE. Congressman Webb and Mr. Overman have secured a $250,- 000 appropriation for a new pub lic building for Charlotte. Char lotte already has a splendid and seemingly adequate post office building, and it looks like a great waste of public funds to tear it down, as is to be done, and build another one over it. NEED OF COMPULSORY EDUCA TION. The Democrat has a subscriber in the person of a young farmer who laments the lack of a good education when he was a boy. His parents geeded him to work, they thought. "My wife is a good scholar," he said, "but it bothers me to read, as I have to spell my way along in the book or paper." Yet this young farmer has an exceptionally bright mind. He can figure an arithme tical problem in hts head easily. He made a bale of cotton to the acre on five acres last year, and has elegant corn this year. Education would have made life 100 per cent more valuable and en joyable to him. There are entire iami lies not ten miles from Hickory who cannot read or write. The Democrat's editor has run across them while can vassing. Therefore we are prepared to endorse the following from the Pro gressive Farmer: "Do we believe tn compulsory school laws?" We certainly do. The old argument that the child belongs to the parents and that they have the sole right to say what shall be done with it, is based ou a false idea. State has rights in the child as surely as have the parents, and one of these rights is to see that the child is given an opportunity to grow up into ihe best and most useful citizen. The child has rights, too, as well as the parents and one of the lights is the chance to develop to the extent of his natural cnpacities. This he cannot do if he is denied an education. The child is the man of the future and it is the duty of the State to see that he has a chance to secure at least the rudiments of an education. Hendricks-Hawk. Just at sunrise on the morning of the twentieth of August, the wedding of Miss Ruth Hendricks, of Asheyille, and Rev. Carlock Hawk, of Erwin, Tenn., was quietly celebrated at the resi dence of the bride's mother, Mrs. J. M. Spurlin, 359 S. French Broad Ave. Rev. John Kawk, brother of the groom and a re turned missionary from China, performed the ceremony. The parlor was decorated in green and white and the vows were taken before the altar of palms and ferns. The bride wore a tailored suit of tan, trimmed in brown, with hat. shoes and gloves to match, and carried an armful of Bride roses and ferns tied with white chiffon ribbon. Miss Lucile Dinkin, of Asheville, p'ayed Lohengrin's March and Miss Bettie H. Moore, also of Ashe ville, sang "O, Promise Me." After the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Hawk left for Winona Lake Park, Ind., and the best wishes of a host of friends went with them. Mrs. Hawk is the only daugh ter of Mrs. Spurlin and is very attractive and accomplished. She made her home in Hickory for some time while stenographer for Hutton and Bourbonnais and her many friends here wish for her a long life of joy and •useful ness. Rev. Mr. Hawk is a bright young minister of the Holston conference and is now pastor of the Methodist church in Erwin, Tenn., where they will be at home after September the first. Among the out-of-town guests were Rev. Mr. Orr of Erwin, Tenn., and Miss Mabel Hight of this city. The Methodist Children's Home. In the N. C. Christian Advocate last week the Children's Home page carried the following subscriptions to the pro posed new $90,000 building: Hickory Sunday School S2OO, Dr. Nicholson's Class in Hickory S. S. SIOO, Mr. Bowles' Ciass in Hickory S. S. SIOO, total S4OO. This leaves only SIOO more of the $20,- 000 still to be secured. This new build ing will contain the offices and accom . modate 50 additional children. The next move of the Home is to secure funds to build a* Hospital for sick and defective children. This will be some thing new in orphanage work in this state. At present only healthy children are taken by any of the orphanages. Mrs. D. M. Atkins is now liv ing at the home of Mr. Geo. F.' Ivey, where she can be found by any one needing the service of a nurse. t | SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Office of Live Stock Agent. Atlanta, Ga., Aug, 5, 1912.

Hookworm of Long Standing. • Moreanton Herald. Joe Allman, Sr., and some of his quiet jokes are well-known, but here is a new one. Last Saturday he applied to the Hook worm Commission doctor for treatment without examination. When questioned as to his trouble he said that when a boy he had fallen from a boat into the Catawba river and while strangled he swallowed a twenty foot trot line with 15 hooks on it. He bantered them by saying, ' Now, tell me how to get rid of that?" The book of theory and practice did not include Joe's case. Don't apply ice cold water to a red hot stomach. Water should be cold enough to be palatable, that is, to taste good, but never ice coald. Also don't gulp it do drink slowly. This is im portant, especially if the water is cold and you are both hot and thirsty. But don't forget to cultivate the habit and drink * plenty of water every day.

Jndge CJark, though not elo quent, is an able, entertaining speaker. There was nothing in Jndge Clark's address to which the supporters of Mr. Simmons or Governor Kitchin could take offense or to cause the Judge's friends here to Jose an iota of their high opinion of the regard for him. Judge Clark was very grace fully introduced by Mr, J. H. Pearson and the Judge in the be ginning of his address spoke in very complimentary terms of Mr. Pearson's record as a rail road commissioner. At the-close of Judge Clark's address, Judge A. C. Avery, in a few remarks, commended the Chief Justice in his candidacy for U. S. Senator. Needed Changes in Morganton-Con nelly's Springs Road. News-Herald. The recent survey of the pub lic road from Morganton to Con nelly Springs has been adopted by the board of county commis sioners, who have ordered that the road be built by the county, since advocates of the changes have guaranteed rights of way without this expense to the coun ty. The new survey will be a complete change of the road from a point about a mile west of Dexel to a point about the same distance west of Connelly Springs and w ill run by Drexel and Valdese. This will be a de cided improvement, not only in point of grade, but wil! run through a more developed sec tion. It is said that the new survey is an average of 4 per cent grade on the old road. Mr. John W. Robinson has been with Mr, A. L. French in Insti tute work in Alamance county. He paid a visit to Mr. French's splendid farm in Rockingham. "It is one of the prettiest farms I ever saw." said Mr. Robinson "240 acres without a weed on it. He has some cows that weigh 1500 pounds. He breeds Aber deen-Angus. He works his farm with his son only. Alamance county is plum burnt up," said Mr. Robinson, who was on the way to Raleigh to attend the institute there. Messrs. Watt and R. L. Shuford, Dr. R. Wood Brown representing the Demo crat, and Mr. Abel S. Robinson went from this section. Mrs. George Killian went to Montreat last Friday and was joined there over Sunday by Mr. Kiliian.

The Shelby creamery is soon to instail a pasteurizing plant. Miss Laura Avery died at the home of her brother, ex-Judge A. C. Avery, in Morganton last week. Senator Simmons has in view of apologies withdrawn his libel suit against the Shelby High lander and "Corn-cracker." The lumber town of Grandin laid out on the Greer farm near King's creek is to have a modem electric light plant and water and sewerage. The Grandin Lum ber Co., the Topic says, has plac |ed an order for the machinery, boilers and engines of their mam moth band mill. Dredging work on Davidson creek in Southern Iredell will reclaim 1500 acres of land, T. J. Fry is the Democratic candidate for representative in Aver> county, and favors repudia tion of the Mitchell county court house bonds debt. Mr. Burleson is the Republican representative and opposes repudiation, and is for a bond issue for good roads. The surveyors on the proposed railroad line from Konnorack, Va., through Ashe county, and up New river to Boone, com pleted the preliminary work to the village last Saturday. The line is an extension of the Min gae road that is completed from Abingdon, Va., to Konnorack, in which the Norfolk & Western has taken stock to the amount of $1,000,000 which will be used in the extension of the line. The grading, it is roughly estimated, can be done at an average cost of SIO,OOO a mile, and if this be true, even the money invested by the N, &W. would more than do the grade work to Boone.— Boone Democrat. Mr. R. L. Kirkwood, of Ben nettsyille, S. C., was in the city last week. He was a school boy here 32 years ago. He Was look ing for a good outlet for cotton, as he is interested largely in cot ton farming and connected with two large fertilizer plants, one at Bennettsville, the other at Cheraw. It would be a good thing for Hickory if she could get a branch of these plants, and with a good site Mr. Kirkwood might be induced to establish such a branch. It would doubt less pay our farmers to have a factory where they could have high grade fertilizer manufact ured where they could see it made and know its quality. Mr. Kirk wood's plant 3 are the only ones in South Carolina that are registered to manufacture with out a filler. Judge Lane, of Asheville sum moned three detectives, Thomas, Scott, and Watts before him, charging that they had no right to take E. F. Carr from jail to examine him privately at a ho tel. Carr is the express mes senger who claimed to have been robbed by a bandit of S3OOO, and afterwards confessed the rob bery himself. Judge Lane re served his decision. Rev. J.
