HONESTY MEETS WITH MERIT.
J Howard A. Banks Private Secre
tary to Secretary of Navy.
When Mr. Banks toid me last i
week that he had accepted the
position of private secretary to
Josephus Daniels, Sec. of Navv.
I heartily congratulated him.
There is r.o one in this com
munity who commands more j
respect thamheowncr and tditor,
of the Hickory Democrat. During
many trips over this state for
pleasue and in the interest of the
Democrat, I universally learned
that he stood very high as a
gentleman, an editor and news
paper man.
No one who knows him doubts
the high moral plane upon which
he lives, no one questions his
intellectuality; and his experi
ence with the Fhiladelphi-d
Ledger, Charlotte Observer, and
as Washington correspondent,
made him a good newspaper
man; and fits him for a larger
fMd for his attainments.
I asked Mr. Banks if he real
ized that out of all the good men
in N. C. he was the one selected
to be near the National Admin
istration as private secretary to
a cabinet officer, Mr. Ranks re
plied that he did.
Hickory, N. C. will be well
represented in the official circles

HOWARD A. BANKS,
The indications now are that
Floyd and Claude AHen* father \
and son, must die in the electric
chair tomorrow (Friday). These ,
men were convicted of participa t
tion in the Hillsville court house i
murder and were given death
sentences. They have exhausted
every legal resource to escape
death, but it seems now that
their efforts were all in vain. J
The attorneys for them have j
been untiring in their efforts.
Of late much pubii? sentiment (
has been aroused in Virginia in j
behalf of the condemmed, and *
much pressure has been brought '
to bear upon Governor Mann to j
induce him to interfere. Eapec- ]
ially has this been true since 1
Sidna Allen, leader of the clan, j
was given only a prison sentence.
But Governor Mann contended
that he should not interfere on
this account because he regarded
the Sidna Allen sentence as a
gross miscarriage of justice.
Having exhausted every effort
to find relief in the State courts,
an appeal was made to the Fed
eral courts, but Chief Justice
White refused to hear the mat- j
ter. While all humanity may 1
sympathize with the condemmed j
men all must agree to the justice (
of their sentence and none can 1
successfully assail the motives of
those in authority who have re
fused to interfere with it.
At the ri k of shoking his modesty,
we are publishing this week a num
ber of very flattering compliments of
Mr. Banks, formerly editor of this
paper. We feel that Mr. Banks de
serves all the good things that can
possibly be said about him, and we
feel that he will not allow his modes
ty to become too greatly shocked be
cause we are publishing some of these
That sentence passed on the hazers

opinion that it would have been as

Burke County Stream to be Drained.
Representative Webb put in a good
stroke for Burke county last week
when he secured the recommendation
by the United States Drainage Com
missioners, Yarnel! and Lynde, that
Silver Creakte that county be drain
ed to a depth of eight feet. It is al
so reccomended that steps be taken
to control the operations of the mill
men at the head of the stream in
order to reduce to a minimum the
amount of sand turned into the
stream. If these reccomendaiions
are carried into effect it is claimed
thevaiue of the land will be increased
from 25 per cent to 100 per cent. This
action on the part of the Drainage
commissioners will go along way to
wards bringing Burke to the front,
and Congressman Webb is due the
thanks of the entire county.
