TIL M TOP HIN Always B«IJM HICKORY, N.C., THURSDAY. JANUARY, 2. 1913 MR. FOSTER CHOSEN. Do Farmers Want a Visit from out County Commissioner of Agri culture. The Democrat has already mentioned the visit of Mr. Henry K. Foster, of Bain bridge, to Hickory to present to leading farmers his application for the position of County Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr. Foster has now been employed for this po sition and will make Newton his headquarters, beginning his work at once. Mr. E. L. Perkins, of Caldwell, was considered for the place but while a splendid, coming young man, the commit tee thought a man who bad tak en a four years course "at some agricultural college should be chosen. Mr. Foster submits splendid credentials. He is about 42 years old, a graduate of the University of Michigan, was raised on a farm, spent 5 y ears in agricul tural work in Virginia, and was for several years connected with the farming at the Virginia Polytechnical Institute. The committee is confident they could not secure an abler man than Mr. Foster. With all his ability and train ing, however, Mr. Foster cannot suceed without the hearty co operation of the farmers of the county, Early this month Mr. Foster accompanied by a num ber of men from the North Car olina Department of Agriculture, will visit every school house in Catawba county, which shows enough interest to write for him to come. If chairmen of school districts will drop the Democrat a card, they will be given a date. No more important movement has ever been set on foot in Ca tawba. It will be far reaching in its results, if our farmers will get behind it. Three Christmas Services. On Christmas Day Rev. J. E. Barb conducted three Christmas services. One atMt.

Written Tor the Democrat by. Dr. R. Wood Brown. Measuring time might be pre historic, as we have no knowl edge of time measuring devices prior to the 15th century. The sundial is probably the oldest time piece, then comes the hour glass, next the clepsydra - or water clock. These have been in use for 2,000 years, and the pendulum made its appearance about A- D. 1000. The principle of steam engines is the same now as at the time of James Watt, and the princi of the watch and clock is she same now as at the time the watch was invented in Neurem burg near the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th. The main improvements to the watch and clock have been pendulums, escapements, springs. instead, of weights, and hair springs to regulate. There are many wonderful clocks with their beautiful and melodious chimes. The one best known is probably the .astromi cal clock in Strassburg Cathe dral made in 1574-1580. The main differeuce in the time pieees of early date was that watches ran by spring in any position and clocks stationary ran by weight?, Man's ingenuity now produce s clocks to run in any position and as accurate as the best of watches. Here in Hickory has just been erected by the jeweler, Mr. Geo. E. Bisanar, a ciock as good as any in any city in the union. This clock is an addition to Hick ory's business center and proves that Mr. Bisanar is one of the progressive merchants of North Carolina. The iron base of this clock is 22 inches square by 4 feet high, resting inside of the side-walk curb, upon a concrete foundation 4 feet deep by 26 inches square This heavy foundation prevents any marked vibrations which would prevent accurate time. On this iron base risega beauti ful Corinthian, column Jfet in hight. Surmounting tbisSpohimn is the iron rim which encloses the 3 foot dials facing east and west. These dials are opaque glass and are protected by large glass crystals, Ry means of secret electric wiring, the time of night can be told 400 feet east and west on the darkest night. The iron base contains the standard size regulator or mas ter movement made of tempered brass, the pinions are cut accur ately and highly polished, all cheap grades of pinions are stamped out. The weights, two in number, are on each side of the drum or what in as a clocks would be the spring barrel. The cords attached in each weight are so wound around the drum that either weight would run the master movement. This arrange ment gives an even tension and prevents uneven fiction upon the bearings, A heavy steel shaft connected by bevel gears to the master movement, turns the balance hands of the dial. This steel shaft rests upon fall bearings in a cup of oil. This* reduces fric tion and is necessary to give ac curate time. The clock is regulated by man ual minipulation of the master movement in the base and is so nicely adjusted that it does not vary 30 seconds in a month. All working parts of this clock are finished like a watch, and when the base, column and rim are painted black with olive green trimmings, this evidence of Mr, Bisanar's metropolitanism will have cost nearly $3OO. Mr. Geo. E. Bisanar is watch inspector for the Southern and the Carolina North Western Railways. He was also one of the first jewelers to register under the State Optometry Law, and he is vice-presideut of the North Carolina Optical Society. This clock standing 15 feet high is an ornament to the square as well as being a great convenience to every one and Hickory is to be congratulated that Mr. Bisanar has but his modern time piece in front of his up-to-date jewelry store. $lOO Per Plate.
