THURSDAY, JULY 17,1913
HICKORY'S STREET FAIR.
It is both selfish and impossi
ble that one town should be y
center for all celebrations anc
festivities, and when otr neigh
boring towns extend us an'in
vitation to join them in a day o
genuine enjoyment and meri i
ment, we are always glad to sew
them a large and representativ.
patroanare. Such seems to hav»
been true on the fourth fort.
Morganton, Lenoir and othe
towns Hickory sent a thousarv ■
or more representatives, and it
better still that they were ai
glad that they went.
However, in giving our neigh
bors the right of way on th
fourth, and accepting the rea
entertainment which they giv« J
us, we are placing ourselves-1
under obligations for an ex- j
change of civic courtesies. For j
several years it has been the I
custom of Hickory to hold an an- i
nual street fair and thisthe eveni j
upon which we try to concentrate i
our efforts in the making of ai j
occasion of merriment for both I
our neighboring towns and our- .
selves. In the past the towns t \
which we lend ous patronage 01 \
the fourth, have contributed
largely towards making ou? 1
street fairs the big success whicl j
has attended our efforts of thv
past. Because thev contribute j
so generously to the event whicl j
we decided several years ago t
inaugurate, we are glad to con
tribute all that we can to mak
their fourth of July celebration?
as big a success as possible. Wt
feel and know that they an
equally glad to lend both en
couragement and patronage, ir
order that we make of our fair
the same success which they
make of their fourth of July cel
ebrations. We do not ask fo
their co-operation however, be
cause we join with them in ou»
attempts to help them make •?
success of their occasions o!
celebration, but because of tht
fact that they entertain us so
royally when they invite us, we
want to also set apart an occasion
for celebration and invite them
to be merry with us, because they
made us happy when we were
with them.
PROGRESSIVE FARMER ON
FREIGHT RATE PROGRESS.
In line with the idea which we
expressed in last week's issue of
the Democrat, we are glad to see
such able editorial writers as Mr.
Clarence Poe of The Progressive
Farmer taking the same position
which we then attempted to givf
expression to. Speaking then in
reference to the position which
our contemporary thelState Jour
nal has assumed regarding the
advisability of the Journal's at
tempt to expose the Fire Insur
ance Trust just at this time, we
spoke of the danger of overshad
ing the main issue by drawing
too much attention to those of
minor importance. Mr. Poe take?
the same view regarding Mr.
Maxwell's proposal to establish a
million dollar steamboat line as
an only cure for our present
freight, rate abuses. A great
many people in their attempts to
accomplish a world of good at
one stroke are unconsciously
hurting the cause by forcing the
public to concentrate its atten
tion on too many subjects at the
same time,
Under the heading *'A Dan
gerous Sidetrack," Mr. Poe has
the following to say: "We art
not enthu iastic over the plan to
have North Carolina spend a mil
lion dollars for a steamboat lint
in order to force lower freight
rates from the railroads. If some
humble citizen perpetrates injus
tice, the state simply and unce
remoniously uses the 4 hig stick'
of its sovereignty to atop him in
stanter, and we do not see why
the giant railway companies
should have special consideration
just because their unjust rates
have been permitted so long al
ready.
"About the time we should
spend a million dollars for steam
boats, freight rates would be re
duced just enough to make it un
profitable to operate the ship
and the railroads would simply
have the fun of seeing the state
spend a million dollars to effect a
result we would be abundantly
able t9 effect without either in
direction or extravagance. In
this freight rate matter, North
Carolina is right now thundering
along at sixty miles an hour on
the main line, and this shipbuild
ing proposition looks to us like a
sidetrack we had better let
aione."

MULHALL'S CHARGES.
Is there no honesty in public
officials, or is it that their names
*nd characters are being exploit
rfd for the sake of a cheap brand
of notoriety which reflects credit
on no one? The latest sensation
which has been given to the pub
iic along these lines is the fam
>us disclosure by Col. Mulhali an
excommunicated employee of the
National Association of Manu
facturers. The bit ot' history
hat surrounds . this sensation
seems to brand it with suspicion,
or if we feel that the -author i.-
jniiuea to oe credited with sin
jereity we must accept the other
iirernative and regard his story
the product of an ima inatiuu
wreaked by disappointment anu
maer. The spectacle exhibited
s a pitable one when we fi id
nen who will not >nly sell them
.elves when the price ottered
eems sufficient, but will sell tr.e
reputations of men who have
nei) to tne nation lives of long
aid honorable service.
vVe find tnat aftei Mr. Mulhaii
,dd been excluded irom tne ser
;ice of the National Association
»f Manufacturers, he asked to be
rinstated. Seeing that he could
1 >t hope to be restored to his old
josition. he sold to a newspaper
:or SIO,OOO about 20.000 letters
md telegrams which he had
preserved, and with them his
ecol-ections of what had taken
place. Such a story as this
leserves to believed only when
corroborated by unimpeachable
documentary evidence or in some
other way equally as strong.
vVith such a scandal as this
Drought to light before the gaze
of the public, we feel that it is
not only the duty of the Associa
tion, to produce prompt and sat
isfactory explantions of Mulhall's
activities, but that both Houses
ot Congress are procteding cor
rectly when they demand a
thorough examination into the
charges that have been made,
i'ne facts should be brought to
ligat. If there has been corrup
tion and blackmailing and con
spiracy. tne country should have
the benefit, and the guilty parties
oe made to suffer or if blameless;
exonerated from the charges that
have been made.
We do not believe that any
such wholesale corruption exists
among our public officials as M'll
aali's startling story would seem
to indicate. A thorough Con
gressional investigation seems to
oe the best means, however, by
which these charges be re
futed. We are glad that such an
investigation is already under
wav.

Surprising Cure of Stomach
Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, don t
imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to give
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengle, Plain
field, N. J., writes, "For over a month
past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain's ad
vertising booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from people
who had been cured by Chamberlain's
Tablets, I decided to try them. I
have taken nearly three-fourths of a
package of ihem and can now eat al
most everything that I want. ' For
