THURSDAY, AUGUST 28. 1913 MODERN FARMING. Hardly a week passes that w« do not see si;.jns of substantia 1 progress being made by the citi zens of Hickory and Catawb* county. The latest develop ment in the line of progress wa> the meeting held in the Chan ber of Commerce rooms sotn« time ago by the farmers of th section to discuss sweet potat'. growing and a co-operative sy. tem of marketing same. T/i meeting was largely and enthus astically attended by the moL progressive farmers of this see tion and the basis plans wer laid for the development of .• large business in the sweet potat industry. Mr. Emmert, Mark* \ agent of the Southern Railwa> in speaking of the meeting said: "It was the most enthusiast! and intelligent body of farmer*- he had come in contact witl. since he had been engaged in hi present line of work." Such re marks are certainly highly com plimentary to Catawba &rmers, but it is better still to be able u say that the farmers of this sec tion are conducting their busi ness in such a way as to merit comment of this kind. Another evidence of the pro gressiveness of Catawba county farmers is the fact that they ar ready and willing to adopt new ideas which tend toward a better ment of farm life. They are realiz ing that "brains mix well wicn ihe soil" and that hard work aloi,* can never make a success of th*- life. Farming is nov just!> classed as a scientific industry and those who are making th greatest success of their worl are the ones who recognize modern and approved method:- in the industry. Catawba count* has realized this and with tin lealization its citizens haye em ployed in Mr. Foster, an expert to add further impetus to tin progress they are already mak ing. The employment was at evidence of progress; his work i? an illustration of progress. MISSOURI AND GOOD ROADS. The success which attends the good roads days as set apart by Governor Major of Missouri is both encouraging and inspiring to the good roads advocates all over the country. The spectacle of 250,000 business men ano farmers giving up their wort for two days and appropriating it to the cause of good roads must have been an inspiring one indeed. Not only did its result mean much good to the cause or good roads in Missouri, buff furnished a striking: illustration of that public spirit which som* times forgets self that it max work for the good of all. It it estimated that the work doiv amounted to more than one ant a half million dollars and yet not a penny of indebtedness has beer incurred. Not only did the mer of Missouri respond libeially fa the call of their Governor but the women were there too; serv ing dinner and otherwise lend ing encouragement to the mers who were doing the work. Good road building is always a sub stantial evidence of progress and in most cases progress fc contagious. There are a fe* people who attempt to stamp out the advance of this contagious infection, but just now it seem to be beyond control, with in dications pointing to a furthet spread. WHY WOMEN SUFFER Many Hickory Women are Learning the Cause. Women ohen suSer, not knowing the cause. Backache, headache, dizziness, ner vousness. Irregular urinaiy passages, weak ness, languor — Each a torture of itself. Together hint at weakened kidneys Strike at the root —get to the cause. Quickly help the kidneys if they need it. No other remedy more highly en dorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's convincing testimony from this locality. Mrs. R. T. Amos, Pine St., New ton, N. C., says: "I had backache and diizy and neivous spells. At night I did not rest well. I fe'.t all worn out in the morning. My kidneys did not act as they should.

For the purpose of supplement ing and strengthening the Just Freight Rate Association as an organization to secure freight rate relief, it was proposed at the last conference held in Raleigh to appoint ten business men of the state to be known as a conference committee. The purpose of this committee is to represent the businpss interests of the state at any conferences which may be held in the future, between representatives of toe carriers and the councils of state, regarding an adjustment of freight rate differences. It it the further duty of this com mittee to ad visa with the state officials in the formulating ft such legislative policies as the general assembly may be called upon to enact into law, provideo x satisfactory adjustment of freight rates is not arrived ai through other means. President IVte of the Just Freight Rate Association has named this com mittee, and in the list composing it are see the names of men who are thoroughly representativeol the business interests of the state and who are genuinely de sirous of securing relief frorr freight rate abuses. Mr. A. K. Joy of our city has been named as a member of this committee co repreaent that section of the state traversed by the Southern Railway from Salisbury to Aslie vllle. This particular tection more unjustly discriminated against than any otner part ot the state and in attempting to secure justice for us Mr. Joy': task will not be an easy one. Tht iJemocrat expresses the utmoit confidence in his ability to pro iect the interests of the people of this section and tells that Mr. Tat* displayed the same wisdom in the appointment of Mr. Joy as he did in naming the other members of the conference com mittee. WHO'S PROGRESSIVE NOW? Mr. Viirner, of the Lexington Dispatch, seems to find comfort m the fact that the million dollar «>ood roads bond issue failed to carry in Wake county. From hie editorial expression on the sub ject we take the following: "While the Dispatch regrets very much that the million dol iar good roads bond issue in Wake county was defeated large ly on account of the fact that sood roads advocates had no organization and practically made no campaign, yet the good people of Davidson county feel very grateful to the., county ol Wake for lifting reputation for non-prcgres&iveness and tak ing the doubtful honor upon her shoulders." We most heartilv agree with Air. Varner that the honor is "a doubtful one" and add that we sincerely regret that Davidson's ourden of carrying it should havt oeen so appreciably lightened by Wake's generous offer to carrj naif the load. In this connec tion we recall a speech which jlr. Varner made a few years -tgo to the citizens of Hickory on he subject of good roads. In us speech Mr. Varner roaste. ne people of Catawba for thei.- ack uf proxressiveness and ap parent contentment with the im passioie roads which it possess ed. Hickory and Newton town ships voted a hundred thousanc dollar bond issue and built the oest piece of pand clay road in the state. Davidson kills a gooo roads bond issue by an over whelming majority. Who's pro gressive now? Mothers! Have Your Children Worms? Are they feverish, restless, nervous, irritable, dizzy or constipated? Dt they continually pick their nose Oi grind their teeth?

FOR KNCXVILLE I National Conservation Expo-: sition To Be Big Event of the Year SOOTH'S GLORY ON OISPUY Exposition Will Be On* of the "Differ' ent" Kind and Will Be Greater In All Ways Yhan Anything Ever Seen In This Section of United States Before. The National Conservation Exposi tion that will be held in the pictur esque city of Knoxville from Septem ber 1 to November 1, of the present year, will be the one big event of the year in the South. No meeting, no gathering, no con ference, no exhibition of any kind will overshadow in importance the Nation al Conservation ExposiUon. It will be national in scope, national in charac ter. The National Conservation Expoffc tion has been planned along bread lines and is designed to teach the great lesson of the necessity of con serving the resources that nature has so bountifully bestowed pn the coun try. More especially will the necessity of conserving the immense resources of the South be brought out and em phasized at the Exposition. Following are a few facts that give some idea of the magnitude and the aims of the National Conservation Ex position: The exposition plant represents an outlay of over $2,000,000. The site of the exposition is in the most beautiful park in the South —a park that nestles in the foothills of the great Smoky mountains, picturesque, rolling, green, highly improved. Eleven Big Buildinga. The exposition grounds embrace with lakes and drives over one hun dred acres. Never was a site for an exposition with more natural advantages chosen, never one better adapted to exposition purposes. Eleven large exposition buildings, modern, Btately, Bnowy white, as well as a number of smaller buildings, will house this exposition. Railroads realize the importance of the exposition and are cooperating in every way in the enterprise. National leaders of conservation with Gilford Pinchot as chairman are directing the exposition. Sixteen Southern states have formed boards for exposiUon work and these boarda are actively engaged in the col lection of comprehensive exhibits and In arranging state days for the expo ! sition. South a Treasure House. The National Conservation Exposi tion at Knozville during September and October will be "different." The displays in various lines will be the largest, the most diversified, the most interesting ever seen in any exposition In the South; they will compare favor- Ably- with any exposition ever held in the United States and they will all teach graphically, eloquently and point* edly the leapon of conservation, ad mittedly one of the greatest questions before- the American people tc-day. And about all the South —the great South, the South that ia a treasure house of the nation, the South busy with the hum and the whirr of counts less manufacturing industries —will be on display in Knoxville during the ex position. The South with its tremend ous resources and great industrial pro gress will be strikingly typified. There will be much for every citizen of the country to see in Knoxville dur ing the exposition months, there will be much for every one to learn. EXPOSITION TO BE READY. National Conservation Show To Make New Record In This Respect. The hundreds of thousands of vistt ors from all parts of the country, an.: particularly from the Southern States to the National Conservation Exposi tion can be assured of one fact even a. this early date: That no matter early they make their visit to the ex position after the gates are formall thrown open they will see the display; complete. Work Is so far advanced now th • • everything will be ready on the open ing day and the complete line of e.x hibits in all of the many big, whin buildings, and in all of the various de partments of these buildings, will like wise be ready. Too many times in the history of ex positions in other parts of the country it has happened that the first week* saw only a portion of the expositior. complete. This will not be the case at Knoxville. LOW RATES FOR EXPOSITION. Railroads Have Made Concessions For Big Knoxvllte Show. Exceptionally low rates —the lowest ever made for an exposition in tlie South—have been made by the rati roads for the National Conservation Exposition in Knoxville, Tenn., during the months of September and October. These reduced rates are In force from start to finish of the exposition aul will afford thousands of persons living within a radius of 300 miles oppor tunity to make the trip to Knoxville at comparatively little cost.
