It is with pleasure we publisi
the articles of Mr. W. J. Shufor
in this issue of The Democrat
Catawba county should aid Mr.
Sbuford in his undertaking t
build up the rural school dis
tricts of the county in the way ol
education, and the building o
better school houses for the child
ren, A school room should be a>
attractive place, pleasant an
homelike, so the children will b«
encouraged to go to school. Th
teachers of the school should firs- j
get the love and respect of th«
child and when they have don>
this they have accomplished more
than some do in a life time. O
course you can force a child t
behave in your sight at the tinu
you have your eye on him, >bu:
you turn your head or let him get
out of your sight and see what
effect your force has had on thf
boy. First get the confidence ol
the children, then the love anr
, affection and you have the child
It will be only a short time beforf
the little boys and girls who an
now in school will ha veto should
er the responsibilities that thei»
fathers and mothers have had.
Let's do our part to prepare thes«
boys and girls for this position i;
life. Some one will say it is th
duty of the teacher to do that. It
is, and, it is our duty to aid the
teacher so far as possible. Let';
not put it all on the other fellow,
but each of us do his part ii
bringing educational advantage*
to the children of Catawba coun
ty. '
An interesting meeting was
held in Raleigh last week by the
Just Freight Rate Association, ir
which there were more than 35(
delegates, representing 40 count
ies. At this meeting, a perma
nent organization was effected
and officers elected as follows:
President, Mr. Fred N. Tate ol
High Point; Ist. vice president.
Mr. W. R. Foreman of Charlotte;
2nd vice president, Mr. P
Gibson of Statesville, represent
ing Farmers' Union;3rd vice pres
ident, Gen. Julian S, Carr of Dur
ham; 4th vice president, Mr. Noal
Barefoot of Elizabeth City. Cap
tain Alf. A. Thompson of Raleigl
was made treasurer.
A resolution wasintroduced ask
ing that a special session of th
Legislature be called to meet ir
Raleigh as soon as it is wise to d
so, for the purpose of receving i
reportfrom the special committee.
Gov. Craig made a very eloqueni
and forceful address advocating
strong and determined action b}
the State for the maintenance o
sovereignty of the people.
Mr. Charles Daniels of Wilsoi
introduced a resolution urging th«
Governor, Attorney General an
Freight Rate Association to ex
amine into the facts of the case,
with the view to annulling th.
charters of every railroad in th
State that exacted tribute of th
State by means of excessive o
discriminatory freight charges,
but this resolution was ordered b.
the Rebolutions Committee to b«
filed with the secretary of the as
sociation for future consideration
We want to see the farmers in
terested in this movement. Tht
adjustment of freight rates
much to the farmers' interest a:
it is to the manufacturer or mer
chant, as he pays freight on farm
ing implements and in shipping
his produce to market This excess
freight is quite an item, as thit
amount must be deducted from
the total received for his goods
So let us all work together, farm
er and merchant, to secure a just
freight rate. The people of N. C.
are asking no favors in this mat
ter. They have for years been
seeking an adjustment of freight
rates which would relieve them
from the unjust and discrimina
tory freight rates from which
they have suffered and which
have greatly retarded the growth
and prosperity of the State. They
have now made up their minds
that this discrimination must
cease. The time is now at hand
when it shall be determined
whether the railroads shall con
trol the people of North Carolina,
or whether the people of North
Carolina shall secure the rights
and privileges to which they are
entitled. North Carolinians are
a patient and longsuffering peo
ple. They were the last to leave
the Union when other states were
seceding and forming the Con
federacy, but they did their
full share of fighting when they
got into action. Our people have
suffered irreparable loss in growth
development and business, be
sides the millions of dollars taken
from our pockets. Patience has
ceased to be a virtue. The rail
roads may as well understand
that the limit has been reached,
:he unjust discrimination against
*Jorth Carolina must end.

HOW BLOOD IS MADE.
The liquid* and the digested food* in the alimentary canal pass through the
wall of the canal into the blood. This process is called absorption and takes place
chiefly from the small intestine. After absorption the blood carries the food
through the body, and each cell takes from the blood the food it needs. A pure
glyceric extract made from blood root, mandrake, stone, queen's root and golden
seal root, and sold by druggists for the past forty years under the name of
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
gives uniformly excellent result* as a tonic to help in the assimilation of the
food and in the absorption by the blood of the food it requires. Eradicate the
§ poisons from the blood with this alterative extract which
does »*tshrink the white blood corpuscles, because contain
ing no aloohol or other injurious ingredients. Thus the
body eaa be built up—strong to resist disease. This is a
tonic taken from Nature's garden that builds up those weak
ened by disease. Sold by druggists everywhere. Address

Lake Junaluska on Southern Railway
(Special to Hickory Democrat.)
Waynesville, N. C., May 19, —
Lake Juoaluska is the name by
which the Southern Railway sta
tion, three miles east of Waynes
ville, formerly called Tuscola, the
station for the Southern Assem
bly grounds, will hereafter be
known and at this point a com
modious passenger station is be
ing erected by the Southern Rail
way. It will be completed by
June Ist.
The Southern Assembly, a
churchwide movement of the
Mtthodist Episcopal Church,
South, and sffiliated organiza
tion?, has purchased a tract of
1,200 acres and has constructed a
lake which will have an area of
252 acres, an auditorium with a
seating capacity of 4,500, a hotel
with 125 looms and nine miles of
graded driveways. It is expect
ed that many private residences
will also be built on the property.
The purpose of the development
is to provide a meeting place for
Methodist conventions and kin
dred bodies, and a la-ge number
of people will doubtless visit this
point each season.
The new passenger station
which the Southern Railway is
erecting will provide ample facil
ities and will have all modern con
veniences, an arrangement hav
ing been made to secure water
from the Assembly's plant. A
paved driveway, a track for stor
ing equipment used in excursions,
and a small freight depot are also
included in the improvement.
Contract for the construction of
the passenger station has been
let to Melton Contsruction Co.,
of Greensboro, N C. The other
work will be done by Southern
Railway forces. . -
