THURSDAY, NOV. 6, 3913
The farmers in this section of
the State were very much dis
couraged during the dry weather
this summer for fear their crops
would be ruined. Many predict
ed there would only be one half
a crop, but from what we can
learn the farmers in Catawba
county have as good crop 3 as
they have had in many years,
and the prices have increased so
materially that they are real'y in
a better financial condition than
ever before. They are begin
ning to realize the value of good
roads, and almost without ex
ception they are all good road en
thusiasts. They appreciate the
increased length of the school
term, as they realize the value
of an education to the coming
men and women of this county.
They ask that the Superinten
dent and County Board of Edu
cation take more interest in the
rural schools than they have in
the past. We are glad to see our
farmers manifesting an interest
in everything that pertains to
their welfare, and working to
gether for the accomplishing of
their purposes. Nothing is so
beneficial to the country as for
the citizens to become enthused
over these things, for when they
do results are sure to follow. We
are always glad to hear from our
farmer friends as to their views
on these subjects, as well as
what are best methods to be
pursued in the daily work on the
farm. The Creamery is a fair
illustration, of what cooperation
will accomplish; they make 1000
pounds of butter every day, and
all this has been done by our
farmers.
The citizens of Catawba coun
ty should be duly.appreziative of
the work of the promoters of
the fair held at Startown, they
deserve credit for their efforts
to perpetuate a fair in this coun
ty. It is a matter of regret that
the citizens of Hickory did not
see their way clear to assist in
the effort to have the fair in this
city this year. Let us all get to
gether with the determination to
hold a fair in Hickory in the year
1914. A fair ground should be
secured and properly equipped,
and a fair association organized
on a basis which will guarantee
its continuance. A vision of the
future possibilities of a fair for
the whole of western Notth
Carolina, of the immense value
it may become to the county and
all its interests would surely
awaken an interest in the mind
of every citizen of Catawba coun
ty. It takes hard work and un
daunted enthusiasm to ac
complish anything that is wcr h
while, and a fair is no exception
to the rule, but if we begin in
time and give freely of our time
and money we can have a fair in
1914 that will be long remem
bered in this section of North
Carolina. There is no county in
the state that can excel Catawba
in thoroughbred livestock, and
poultry, Our people are award
ed premiums in numerous fairs
held in North and South Carolina
and Georgia for their exhibits,
and there is no doubt but that
can have first class fairs if we
try.
We do Know Who is to Blame.
For the last few weeks we
have had more complaint on EC
count of poor mail fervice than
ever before. The News reacheu
Maiden a time or two next day
after it was published. Tuesdays
issue of this week had not reach
ed Catawba on Wednesday eve
ning and Tuesday's paper last
week some of the papers reach
ed Hickory on Thursday.
We do not know who is to
blame but if this thing continue?
we will call upon the post office
department to find out when,
the trouble is.
Since the above lines were
written, we are informed that
the mail pouch for Catawba con
taining the News of Tuesday
was found beside the railroad
above the depot at Catawba.
This explains one delay.—Ca

Should a Doctor Lie?
Whether to tell a patient or
the members of his family just
what is the matter with him is
one of the most puzzling pro
blems the young medical prac
titioner has to face, Very oftt n
he has to lie abcut it. Some
times he does not get found out.
"When I began the practice of
medicine I was located in thf
heart of old Greenwich village,
and the dipt! e ia antioxin had
been discovered," said one phy
sician.
"Parents as well as physician?
were much exercised when L
child had an attack of diptheria.
In the immediate neighborhood
when the news got about that a
child was stricken with the dis
ease there was almost a panic. I
was called on a case one bitter
cold and stormy night, and found
the child well advanced in the
disease and suffering from neg
lect. The mother was very
young, it was her first child and
she was so worried over the con
dition of the little one that in
order to calm her I assured her
it was not a case of diptheria,
only an aggravated form of ton
silitic sore throat. That so re
lieved her that I was not sorry I
had lied to her. The case yield
ed to treatment so readily that
when I called in the early morn
ing of the next day the child was
well on the way to recovery,
"My lie would never have been
discovered and no harm wouid
have been done had it not been
for an intermeddling old grand
mother, who put in an appear
ance about an hour after I had
left the house. She was sure
there had been diptheria, and
hustled off to her family. physi
cian, who was in those days at
the head of the medical profes
sion here,
"He had no scruples about tol
ling the truth about the case
He tried to calm the mother by
telling her that no one could havt
done better with the case and
that I had probably saved the
child's life.
"When I called at the tavj-.e in
the afternoon there was a florin
of which I was the c :it e, I was
not allowed to see the huby.
"But I did see the mother, and
what she said was good and plen
ty. I pleaded in extensuation ol
my prevarication that I had sav
ed the child's life, had done no
injury to any one ai.il liau spar
ed her a lot of needless worry
and anxiety.
"That availed nothing. She
discharged me after paying me
my fee.
"Two months Inter I was sorry
I had lied about Luc cuoe. Tnui
mother told all the neighbors in
the block, and tney told all the
rest of Greenwich village that j
didn't know a case of diptheria
when I saw one.
"That settled me. I lost every
patient 1 had in the vicinity. So
I moved away uptown and start
ed in all over again, and for ten
years liyed in the fear that the
lie and its effects would follow
me to my new location. But it
never caught up with me."
