Ashevitle. Oct. 14.—An an
nouncement that will be learned
with no little interest in western
North Carolina political circles
is that of Collector A. D. Watts
of the Internal Department to
the effect that all of the deputies
who are now working under the
direction of Agent R. B. Sams
will be continued in office for a
while. Mr. Sams received a
message from Collector Watts to
that effect yesterday.
Collector Watts has not ad
vanced any reason for arriving
at this decision and it is not
known just how long the old
employes will be kept in office.
It is presumed, however, that it
will be several weeks before any
more appointments are made.
Mr. J. F. Allen informs us of
the fact that the Fox Club of
Hickory : went up to Short Off
Mountain for a fox hunt and was
I told by a number of people there
that the:fox in there could not be
C^Oght. ! The first chase only
larffed a.bout an hour and the fox
was caught. The second lasted
thirty mjinutes and the fox took
a tree aftd the dogs were taken
away anid the fox was allowed
time to- come down and get a
good start of the dogs and he
was caught in thirty minutes.
They had another race Monday
night oat from Hickory abcut
four mOes and made the catch
in about forty minutes. If there
s a fox that cannot be caught,
please write the Democrat, as
Mr. Allen thinks he can catch
any of them.
County Fairs.
The number of county fairs in
North Carolina is arrowing every
year. It is a good thing for a
county to hold a fair, it gives the
people an opportunity to mingle
with one another and it stimu
lates effort in all lines of activ
ity. A.ny kind of worker is like
ly to get fresh incentive from
seeing what his fellows in the
same or even a different line are
doing and have done.—Raleigh
News and Observer.
Cotton Statistics.
The report of the county statistician
shows that 182 bales were ginned in
the county UD to September 25th as
against 38 last year. The report for
all the counties of the State show that
the counties in the western part of the
State have ginned more than for the
same time last year, while the eastern
counties fall far below last year's total.
They Make You Feel Good.
The pleasant purgative effect pro
