The Democrat had the pleas
ureof a visit last Friday from
Mr. Make Smyre, the Republi
cans candidate for Sheriff in
Catawba. He had not seen the
second editorial in the Democrat
in. which we copied his communi
cation from the Catawba County
News in regard to his not
having voted in 16 years, he ask
eb us to say for him that when
he ceased going to the polls
politics was dividing friend
against friend and house hold
against house hold. It was too
fierce for him. Then, too, he
was not satisfied with the poli
cies of either of the old parties
after Populism. But when the
Progressive party was started,
he believed that new issues had
come to front. The Democrat is
always willing to give the man on
the other side a hearing, though
we prefer that he should write
it out himself in a card -for the

The most brilliant events soci
ally of the season are being given
in honor of Miss Hazel Elliott,
soon to be married to Mr. Frank
Henderson. Friday afternoon
Mrs. Worth Elliott entertained
in her honor. Mrs. Elliott and
Miss Hazel received the guests
at the door. The latter wore a
becoming dress of blue- and
cerise and real lace. There were
eight or nine tables and games
were played for half an hour.
Telegraph -blanks were then
handed out and the guests
answered the question: "How to
manage a husband." The answer
es were read and proved very
amusing. A unique feature was
the handing out of numbered
cards which matched nice pres
ents hidden somewhere in the
room, and which diligent search
revealed to the delighted guest.
A 3alad course was served for
refreshments.
The Womans Missionary
Society of the Methodist church
held their regular monthly liter
ary meeting with Mrs. W. B.
Sigmon Tuesday afternoon Oct
15th. twenty members being
present. The annual report of
1 the Woman's Missionary Council
was the program for the day,
and a thorough study of the
council meeting held last April in
Washington, D. C, showed that
the work was progressing along
all lines. The officers of the
council were impersonated by
members of the local society who
gave the items of greatest im
portance from each report.
From the treasurer's report it
was learned that the women of
the Methodist Church raised for
missions last year $742, 383. 12.
The property owned by the women

A. McComb gave those present a men
tal vision of that most beautiful of
waters, famous m song and story. This
was accentuated by the passing around
of several views of the same durifig the
reading.
"The Excursion," Wordsworth's
largest work, was then presented by
j Mrs. J. A. Martin who showed that in
the writing of this poem, as in many
of his others, Wordsworth discarded in
' theory the poetic diction of his prede
cessors and professed to use "A selec
tion of the real language of men in a
state of vivid sensation." Mrs. E. B.
Cline r *ad with clear interpretation,
that oft quoted and perhaps best known
of all the poets works, "Ode on the
Intimations of Immortality.*' Miss
Ramsay's solo "The Flight of the
Lark" (Word?r?orth) and Mrs. G. N.
Hutton's piano selection" Spring Song
(Mendelsshon) added much to the
pleasure of the occasion. After a dis
cussion of current events the club ad
journed to meet Octobei 17th. with
Mrs. W. L. Abernethy. Delicious re
freshments in courses were served by
the hostess assisted by her attractive
little daughter.
ON WHAT PLATFORM?
Mr. Suttlemyre Appeals To Capt.
Lyerly, Mr. Mouser, et al.
From Hon. P. J. Suttlemyre.
Atlanta, Ga., 93 Luckie the
Democrat has the following im
portant communication:
Enclosed find a Post Office
money order for SI.OO for which
please enter my subscription to
the Democrat.
It looks as if Hickory town
ship is going to have some real
politics during the present cam
paign, as Hon. T. P. Mouser
and Capt. Geo. Lyerly have
entered the field for magistrates.
It looks like it is high time for
them to pulbish a letter of ac
ceptance, and give their respect
ive platforms, telling how they
are both prominent politicians
and fine orators. They could
take Editor Click along let him
give an extemporaneous talk
and tell the people what he is
running for, as he says very
little a bout it, in the official
organ.
I honestly hope these pro-1
gressives of each party will
render their county and state
great services, and if they do all
make Roosevelts or Bryans that
the Lenoir College students
will let each one of them speak
on all occasions.
Respectifully,
