HIE PASSE OF
THE OLD DEPOT
HAS BEEN AN ANTIQUATED EYE
SORE FOR 21 YEARS.
OLDEST INHABITANT TALKS
The Old Structure Was Moved
South Once, And Raised High,
The Steps Being The Delight
Of Loafers--The New
Depot.
Written for the Democrat by
Dr. R. Wood Brown.
We live in the past. The in
stant a thought is verbally ex
pressed or and act performed, it
becomes a memory; the future is
problematical, the present in
stantaneous. This being axiom
atical, it necessarily follows
that those things mflst cherished
happened so long ago, that it
requires remembering by associ
ation to make them almost real
again, and to many of us they
are so realistic that we are many
times controlled by the same e
motions which we Ihought could
not be duplicated and bring back
to us poignant grief or ecstatic
joy. Perhaps a piece of tarnished
jewelry, daguerreotype, or, be
tween tne leaves of a book with
an old date, may be found a
pressed dry rose or leaf, per
chance a faded bit of ribbon,
which brings the past with
riotous velocity for weal or woe.
There are many things we
fain wouid forget, but time, the
great Panacea, heals the mental
wounds, the scar many times
not being obliterated. No one of
our citizens will even have a
mental or a memory scar nor
shed tears of regret over the
demolition of the Southern R. R.
depot. It has disapeared, noth
ing left but an ug!y hole full of
debris; and the noise last week
of hammers and axes which
ruthlessly separated the boards
was music to all who heard.
For over 21 years this antiqua
ted structure has been used by
this civilized community and
owned by one of the largest and
best regulated railroads in the
Union. The old depot has teen
taken piece by piece, (nails re
moved) and the lumber goes to a
railroad station of a village
which will consider it an edifice,
symbolical of prosperity.
Yesterday I m tan oldest in
habitant, his head silvered with
the snows of many Hickorian
winters. His volubility was com
mendable because he lived in
the past. As he talked I could
almost see in the curling smoke
of my cigar, a lorg rambling
shed 75 feet long, filled with
cord wood. A lone man, who
was ticket and freight agent,
who was sawing wood for the
primative locomotive and could
almost see him as he pumped the.
tank full of water which furn
ished motive power for the iron
steed as it wheezingly pulled the
mixed train. 1
"This", said my
"was away back in '61."
"Yes," I replied, "that was the
time when mothers, wive? and
sisters, covered with sack cloth*
surrounded by ashes of desolation"
brought by a war which never
should have occured. A war
even now the memory of which
will always be kept green by thfr
numerous monoliths erected to
the noble Confederate dead."
After this 75 foot shed had
baen relegated to "innocuous
desuetude," the passenger and
freight depot was moved to the
eastern end of the present
freight depot, where the freight
tffiee is now. The Phoenix
Bording House and the Central
and Western Hotel all burned be
fore the old depot was built by
a Mr. Hardin who built the
depot at Morganton. Mr. Hardin
took both contracts away from
the iarge contracting firm of the
Eilioit Building Co., of Hickory.
Some time atter the old depot
was finished, it was moved south
a lew feet to allow • the present
main railroad track to be
laid and at the same time was
was raised three feet. Why it
was raised is not known by the
oldeptcitizen, but it is generally
believed that it was elevated so
the steos could be U3ed by weary
loafers.
Mr. A.H. Yoder was, station
agent for many years and his
sons are doing rai'road work,
following in the footsteps of ;
w oi thy father. Mr. A C. Link,
an interesting raconteur, ha*
furi ished us with some incident"
here related. lie is a irudaie
Kentleman, but he teds how as a
roy he sat on his father's railfence
j n tne square, swinging his bart
"tt! i feet in unison with the
music of the soldiers as thev
passed to and fro through Hick-
Wy years, ago.
THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
; We are much also indebted to
Uncle Billy Ramsour for much
interesting information of early
Hickory incidents.
Af-ross the street west of the
old depot site the Southern Rail
road has just completed a hand
some depot, modern in every re
spect, commodious, red tile roof,
granitoid curbing, gravel and
asphalt drives and walks. Every
comfort for the traveler has
been recognized, in fact the new
depot and its immediate environ
ments reflect great credit upon
the railroad, besides being an
addition to the architecture of
Hickory's business structures. It
is to be hoped that in the near
future the Southern will see fit to
embellish the site of the old de
pot, so it will be a credit to the
road and pleasurable to our
citizens.
The old depot is now a memory
and no one reg the passing
of the old landmark which has
been an eyesore to every one
who has been obliged to use and
see it; We extend our thanks
and congratulations to the
Southern Railroad for the New
Depot and the passing of the
Old Depot.
The Fool's Revenge
As Presented by Edwin Booth.
Hickory is offered a rare treat
in the presentation of ' 'The Fool '&
Revenge" at Lenoir College,
Monday night Dec. 2, the
tragedy of the Fool's Revenue.
One of the best works of the
English dramatist and poet, Tom
Taylor—was first acted in 1859
at Sadlers Well's Theatre in
London. Samuel Phelps—a tra
gedian much admired on the
English stage, equally as a
scholar and an artist represent
ed Bertuccio. '
In April, 1864, Edwin Booth
brought out this tragedy at
Niblos Theatre, New York.
Then under the management of
William Wheatly. His choice of
the test, his stage direction, and
certain alteration of the piece,
made by him, are seen in the
t ' ' y»r it: • t ..'7l.
* Tne Fool's Revenge," is to
be considered as almost exclu
sively, a work of imagination. It
is the combined story of Victor
Hugo's "Le Roi S'Amuse" and
the Opera Rigoletto. History
enters but slightly into its tec
ture. The depravity and the
gaily profligate manners of the
corrupt luxurious little Italian
Courts of the fifteenth century
are, however, shadowed forth in
its incidents and test. Benti
voglio is an historic name. The
death of Galleottio, manfredie!
at the hands of his wife is his
torical. The action of this piece
was absigned to 1488. Venice had
then passed the meridian of her
greatness, and all Italy was
broken into petty stages, the
middle ages were coming to an
end. Bertuccio,. The Fool, an
impossibility now, does not seem
out of place in that age of
cruelty, spendour. romance,
passion, change, and general up
heaval and strife. The character
is in some of its aspects, re
pulsive; but it is redeemed from
the category of utterly abhorrent
dramatic creations by its vein of
tenderness, and by the pathos of
the experience which is. lelt to
have distorted its virtue; and
turned its gentleness into insane
fury. ;
During the past month the
characters of the play aa will be
presented at Lenoir Colffcge have
been under the careful straining
of the coach —Miss Esther Shultz,
of Kings School of Oratory,
Pittsburg, JPennsylvania. She
has been under the personal
direction of Dr. King and his
able faculty preparatory for pre
senting this play in the most
striking artistic manner. She is
unusually well equipped for
dramatic work and has carefully
selected characters to powerfullv
portray the wonderful emotions
which are constantly set forth in
the lines of the poet.
Great efforts are being made
to have the scenery for each act
new and something unique. The
swords as well as all costun.es
will be procured from King's
School—Pittsburg. '
The dress will be the style
worn in Venice 1598.
All lovers of the drama will be
more than pleased with the per
formance as the lines although
Shakespearian in style are ver>
explicit and yet pregnant with
sound philosophy.
Bertuccio or tne Court Fool is
one of the greatest characters
ever presented, equals any Shy
lock, Hamlet, or Othello.
Thi* masterpiece will be pre
sented at Lenoir College Monday
night, December 2.

FOR FLETCHER'S
C ASTORIA
HICKORY, N. C.. THURSDAY. NOVEM JER 28 1312
COMMENT
POE FOR GOVFRNOR.
Mr. Clarence H. Poe, edito
of the Progressive armer, i
mentioned for sscretary of ag
riculture under Wilson. But a
Editor Josephus Daniels seems
to be slated for a job in the cabinet
Mr. Poe probably does not stan;
much of a chance, as it wou!«
not do to put two Tar Heels ID>
the as other states woul>-
be jealous of the double honor.
Meantime in this connection we
vant to name Mr. Poe for Gov
ernor next time. There is no
abler material in sight
FOR A BIGGER, BETTER FAIR IN
1913.
Tne Fair for 1912, is over and
it is not too early to begin to plan
for 1913.
In the first place, the Fair has
outgrown the streets, and it is
absolutely essential that we have
our own grounds for 1913.
Permanent buildings should be
located, and grounds close in
should be secured. The Poultry
Department was not up to for
mer years in quantity, but the
quality was good. Possibly the
entrance fee was a little high
for the farmer.
The Dairy Department was
not up to the standard; and there
should have been five times as
many entries as there were.
Horses and colts were missing,
and we must make a stronger
effort to get the colts out.
The Dairy cattle were up t •
other years, but the beef cattle
men did not exhibit.
The Field Crop displays were
extremely poor for Catawl a
County. Onehcal union made a
good display; and another year,
we hope 15 or 20 locals will take
part.
The Women's Department w*s
good, and they deserve credit
for their fine display?.
The Girl's Tomato Club was
well represented, and Miss
Maude Eckard deserves the
thanks of the Association for her
splendid work, She is a very
valuable worker for the better
ment of Agriculture in Catawba
bounty. May she have more
'unds and be able to do more to
et more girls interested another
year.
More and better hogs, and bet
qualities should be our aim
another year.
No more carnivals and fakirs.
Ever since the first Fair, we
lave been able to keep out
he fakir, hut this year in an un
guarded moment he crept in; in
the future he should be made to
five Hickory a wide berth dur
ing Fair week.
Now, let all pull together for a
better, for a bigger Fair, more
exhibits, better premiums, own
>ur own grounds, all for 1913.
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE
ELECTION IN CATAWBA COUNTY
Four years ago, the Democ
ratic party lost the County; the
Republicans won every County
officer but the treasurer and Re
gister of Deeds, and this was a
tie vote. Two years ago, we
carried the County again. The
people have entrusted the affairs
of the County into Democratic
hands, surrounding counties
lave gone Republisan or divided
the ticket. The good County of
Cabarrus, composed mainly ot
the same class of people as Cat
iwba, joined the ranks of the
Republicans.
How did we hold Catawba
Democratic in a Presidential
/ear? It was done by hard work
m the part of the County Chair
man and the various precinct
chairmen and workers in the
Democratic party, by a thorough
cafnvass of the County by the
County candidates, by putting
up men of ability for the various
County offices, by appealing to
the independent vote of whom
there are legion in Catawba
County; by the hearty coopera
tion and hard work of the Demo
cratic press la&t (but not least)
by having a Progressive County
platform, and appealing to the
people along the lines of progress
or the County; While the ma
jority is not as large as we might
•xpect, still we are safely Demo
cratic, and by advocating Pro
gressive measures for Catawba
County, we should increase same
rom year to year.
READING MATTER FOR PRO
GRESSIVES.
The editor of the Democrat
dret learned the worth of some
of the choicest men of North
Carolina from the lata Jv P. Cald
well, when serving under him on
the stall of the Charlotte Observ
er. One of these was Mr. R. F
Beasley, editor of the Monroe
Journal, For the ability, ver
satility, democracy, political or
thodoxy and coqrajre of convic
tion of this man, Mr. Caldwell
had a geauine admiration.Thefiles
of the Observer in those eld days
chat have fled will show many
a paragraph commending "Bess
ley." So en rapport were these
two that when the
needed a new man, Mr, Caldwell
called us into his office one day
to ask our judgment upon the
question of securing Mr. Beasley
is an addition to the Observer's
£taff. It was with keen regret
that he iearned that the Monroe
man did not feel warranted in
leaving his home town. We
mention these things because it
will give our readers some idea oi
>ur appreciation following letter
! quoted in part from Mr. Beasiey.
Dear Brother Banks: —

The Carolina Democrat of this

with those of us who want to do
something in North Carolina and
ielp us out It is time for the
people oc this state to begin to
think something of endeavor
along ethical lines and not sur

unsatisfying influence of igno

You are a college bred man of
culture, sympathy and high pur
pose. We are getting more of
that clasi in journalism in the
state. I: is time for us to begin
to give tone and leadership be
fore the thinking of tiie state
has forever surrendered to the
gross philosophy of the mere fat

where you belong.
Very truly, t
