One Year Cash In Advanc* $ *-o Six Months, " rhree Months " 2 - Adrertising Rates cn Application Entered at the Post Oifice at Hickory second c'lass matter. THURSDAY, OJT. 30, 1913 The promises of *'ne democrat ic partv are siowly but surely being fulfilled. The income Uy will be a means of transferrin*- the burden of taxation from trv shoulders of the working peopp to the shoulders of the wealthy Men of great wealth pay only ■ small portion of the ger.e a tariff duties, and their excess o income is now called upon t* bear its part of trovernmert revenue. In the past the tax.' paid by the rich were out of a' proportion with those paid I y the poor man. There are ove ninety millions of people in the United States, and it ise?titr.a ted that the income tax willor.ly affect about 500,000 people; ( h«-s --whose salary exceels $3,060 «t year, those whose incomes -.ro under that amount are exempt ed from the income tax. which i only just. The income tax is no experiment; many of the other nations of the world have found it a very efficient and satisfac tory means of distributing the burden of taxation moreequita bly. . This tax on incomes will meet the loss incurred by the down ward revision of the tariff, so many of the necessary articles of life are on the free list and with duty radically reduced on ether things, the government's revenue has been greatly cut ciown, but it is thought this income tax win equalize matter?. The Democrat ic Congress has designed to re duce the cost of living, and r looks now as if it will succeed. All reductions were made in the interest of the people at large, this is the first time in years that a tariff law was framed in the interest of the many rathe? than in the interest oi tne few. There has been no dodging ol the issues, but the representa tives in congress have hewed to the line regardless of what in terests were hurt, in to help the many, and thus redeem the pledges made a: Baltimore. Much interest is being mani fested in the proclamation of Governor Craig relative to the setting aside of November fifth and sixth as Good Roads Day.-., and his calling upon all patriotic people throughout the State to work upon the public roads, and to refrain from ail occupations on these appointed davs. We wonder how many wiii spend their time and energy in talking and then not go to to the roa«- - on those two days? One man re marked that he had married ;; wife and so could not go, another said he could not leave his hu"-" ness, and still others say th-y would go, but fear there be no one else there. If ah jo jr. together, and refrain from all other work on those two days, and make it a time of general good will and work on the ioa and thus give substantia! ex pression to the desire for good roads, there will be no bu=sim s to be neglected, and in the course of time no one can tell the dif ference, except tor the perma nent road improvement, and th*- days will be long for the impetus they gave t-j tin cause of good roads. If the gov ernor of our state can afford to work the roads for two days we surely can, Mrs. Emmeline Pank hurst has at last succeeded in getting into the United States, and it she raises as much sand here as she did in England there will be something doing in New York state. It is to be hoped she wiil be satisfied in New York, ar.ci not come South, for we do ;of care for a woman of her tvpe ir the good old "North State''.

New York, a city of great bui'ding?, !is establishing for herself another re cord in the huge edifice which will ; bear the name of Equitable, succeed ing the old Equitable BuiMing that was destroyed by fire. Some figures I concerning the new structure, the foundations of which are just being laid, convey as could no other avail able means, an adequate idea of its magnitude. It will weigh when finish ed, it is announced, 203,000 tons, which is 120.000 tons more than the Singer Building or the Metropolitan Building, 100, COO tons more than the Woolwcrtn Building and "14,500 tons more than the new Municipal .Build in?. Its construction will require 34.- 000 tons of steel, or 10,000 tons more than were used in the Woolwortb j Building, which, it is said, holds the i record up to the present time. There ! will be in it 152 steel supporting col- I umns, the heaviest of them weighing j52 tons. Other materials to be used ! -re 22.000.000 bricks, 350,000 square feet of marble trimmings and flooring. 1,350,000 cubic .feet of sand. 33,000 ' barrels of cement for i 000 cubic feet of cement in the super structure, 1,215,000 cubic feet of broken stone, 768,000 cubic feet of terra cotta, 4 000,000 hollow tiles and 18 000 gallons of paint. . , There will be four sections to the new Equitable Building; each a com plete building in itself* isolated by fire walls. Each of these will have its own shafts for electric wires of all kinds and i for fire hose connections, Fifty eleva , tors will be installed, and it will be pos sible to give a private elevator to each ! firm which may rent several floors They will be enclosed in brick' shafts > with doors of fireproof materials.

Mr. Editor: The usual October outing given i>y the Appalachian Training School to the student body was entirely unique this year. In stead of a day spent in a trip to some convenient point they de cided to spend a day and night on the top of the Blue Ridge near what is known as Brown's Chap el, a church near the top of the mountain. The night selected was tbe night of the full moon, October 15th. At 3p, m. all things being ready, about 70 girls and 60 boys started for the scene of enjoyment, each bear ing his own lunch sufficient for the trip. A wagon took the tents and bedding and other necessary things. We arrived at the appointed place about sun dawn, just in time to see the beautiful Harvest mcon rise over the distant mountains, and as it shed its mellow light upon mountain and plain lying in every direction it was a scene that was worth going many miles to see. After making preparations for spending the night, making fires, pjtting up tents, and making down bfids, all gave themselves to the enjoyment of the occasion. Eight members of the Faculty, four men and four women, were present to assist the young people in enjoying themselves in the very best way possible. While night did not bring sleep to some because they would not sleep and to others because they could not sleep, it was nevertheless a night to be remembered by all present The next day was spent in suitable games and in stroll ing over the beautiful hills un til the hour for returning home. Just before sundown on Thurs day afternoon the 16th the pleas ing sight of the school buildings greeted us much to the satisfac tion of all notwithstanding the pleasure that the trip afforded. Wait Paint There are painters and wait ers. Which am I going to do? Paint or wait? Which is better? How much am I worth with my property waiting? How much if I paint? Will my house be worth more or less if I paint? Say it costs $2.00 a gallon Devoe —I wouldn't paint any other—and $3 or $4 more for putting it on. That's SSO or S6O a 10-gallon job. The money is gone. Is it in the house? Is it all in the house? Suppose I were selling; what should I get for that house fresh painted and what should I get for it needed paint? I wonder why men paint be fore selling! DEVOE adv't F. B. Ingold sells it A row is on in Washington, the capital of Beaufort county, be cause the senator from that dis trict had the special session of the legislature pass an act mak ing it unlawful for an officer to arrest any one in the town after 6 o'clock in the evening for the violation of any ordinance except drunkenness. Funny law, but perhaps drunkenness is the only offence ever committed in Wash ington after dark.—Greensboro Patriot The giddy old world laughs openly at a man and wife who are in love with each other—but secretly it envies them.
