The address of the President
of the United States to Congress
which was delivered last week
was a gem in brevity and bril
liancy. Instead of the old stereo
typed form of an annual mes
sage, it was delivered in persoi
ats a joint session of the twr
houses! at the opening of th
aecond'session of the sixty-thin
congress.
The address is not only short
and toj the point, but is also t
classic in diction, and should b*
read by every citizen of th
United States. Heretofore pres
idents have reviewed the annua'
report of cabinet, and other of
ficers|at length, urging legisla
tion, appropriations and othe;
actions, but President Wilso?
suggests that these reports m*\
receive the thoughtful attention
of all congressmen, as their ob
vious importance to the govern
ment makes comment and em
phasis on his part unnecessary.
There, was nothing in his ad
dress about what has beei
done, but everything is looking
forward to the future, and foi
more progressiveness. He says
there is but one cloud upon out
horizon, and that hangs over
Mexico, and that there can be
no certain prospect of peace in
America until Huerta has sur
rendered his authority in Mexico.
He is very emphatic for social
justice and advocates public
ownership of the railroads in
Alaska, and urges that the gov
ernment build, own and operate
them.
He advocates the nomination?
for the presidency by popular
Vote, with such legislation as
would retain party conventions,
and formulate platforms.
Will some one explain why it
is so many of the buyers of
Hickory purchase their goods
from other points, and have
them shipped in here when they
can buy the same grade of goods
right here at home, at. the same
prices, and thus save freight?
Hickory has a number of man
ufacturing plants, and they de
serve the patronage cf the busi
ness men of the city. Among
these are the overall factory,
hosiery mills, wagon factory,
flour mills, the glove factory, the
furniture factories, chair factory,
the cotton mills, and many oth
ers. They would be glad to havf
your business, and would give
you as good prices as you car
get elsewhere, and guarantee thf
goods bought of them, also you
have the advantage of seeing thf
goods before you .buy. Patroniz

General Missionary Society Organ
ized.
The Evangelical Lutheran Ten
nessee Synod at its last genera!
session held in ' Hickory drew up
ft constitution for a general mis
sionary organization of the wo
men.
In accordance with tha work
tng basis outlined by tna synod,
tne Woman's Missionary Society
of St. Andrews congregation call
ed for a representative from all
the missionary societies of the
eynod to meet in St, Andrews
church in this city Saturday
nwrning, November 29, to organ
ize into a Womans Synodica
body.
On Friday night previous to
organization the Womans' Mis
sionary Society of the church held
a public mission service. Rev. L.
L. Lohr, president of the Synod,
championed the cause of the wo
men with an address. The visit
ing ladies and congregation were
then invited to Highland Hall of
Lenoir College for an hour of ac
quaintance in the dining room
around the table.
The meeting was opened Sat
urday morning with devotional
service conducted by Mrs. W. J.
itoper, of Monroe. Mis 3E. B.
Shirey read an interesting paper
outlining and presenting the
sphere of woman's work in
courch service. The convention
then organized itself, adopted a
Synodical constitution and elect
ad the following officers: Mrs. W.
J. Boger, president; Mr?, R. A.
Yoder. vice piesident North Car
olina Conference; Mrs. Wm. J.
Mnk, vice president Virginia
Conference; Mrs. Pretti. vice
president South Carolina Confer
ence; Miss E. B. Shirey, record
ing secretary; Miss Bettie Coon,
(prresponding secretary; Mrs.
Ivnnball, treasurer.
The convention will meet an
nually. A number of standing
committees were appointed. It
*s believed by many that this or
ganization will be an added im
99tus to the cause of fissions.
Condemns Virginia's Action.
The following resolutions were
adopted at a meeting of the Just
Freight Association of North
Caro i" a at Greensboro Tuesday,
Decm.ber 2na :
"Whereas, Richmord, Norfolk,
Pr»tfishurg and ftoam ke, Vir
ginia, through respective
Chamieis of Commerce have ap
peared before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in an at
temnt to prevent the establish
ment o reduce 1 r'r. >, ht
frotii Cu.cinnatiand other West
ern points of origin to North
Caroiina leeis'ature, and
"WhereaF, the petition of
these Virginia cities prays that
the carriers be denied the right
to establish the proposed rates,
because proposed rates are in a
few ins r ances lower to North
Carolina destinations than to
destinations in Tennessee be
tween Cincinrati and points ir
North Carolina via same routes,
and because proposed rates.are
higher to some points in Western
North Carolina tlian to some
other points in Eastern North
Carolina, while they make no
mention of the fact that all rates
to all point -- in North Carolina
are much higher than to Rich
mond, iNorfotk, Petersburg and
Roanoke, and chat hundreds of
these North Carolina points are
between points of origin in the
Virginia cities named, and
"Whereas, If these Virginia
cities believe as they charge
that present rates discriminate
in favor of North Carolina points
against these Virginia cities,
their remedy lies in a straight
forward, dignified complaint
covering that point, and not in
an ignoble attempt to prevent
this readjustment by hiding be
hind the alleged injustice which
be done some unimportant points
in Tennessee, and
"Whereas, the petition of these
Virginia cities is not made in
good faith, but is cleverly de
vised to mislead the Commis
sion in the hope that present
rates which are outrageously dis
criminatory in favor of U;i_h
mond, Norfolk, Petersburg and
Roanoke, Virginia against
the entire state of NjiihCaro
! Una, may be continued in effect
to the end that the c mmerce of
North Carolina shall continue to
pay unjust tribute to these Vir
ginia cities,
"Resolved, that we heartily
condemn the Chambeis of Com
merce of Richmond, Norfolk.
Petersburg and Roanoke, Vir
ginia, for their quibbling peti
tion in an early attempt to de
feat an adjustment that grant*
North Carolina only partial re
lief from unjust conditions, we
commend the manly positions s..
far taken by Lynchburg and oth
er Virginia cities who have not
become p irties to this insincere
petition, and we cali on-every
loyal citizen of North Carolina t
show iheir righteous indignation
against Richmond, Norfolk,
Petersburg and Roanoke foi
their attempt through the state
mentor half truths to retard the
development of the entire atite
of Norta Carolina in the interest i
of a few jobbers in Richmon ,
Norfolk, Petersburg and R>*
oke."

Croup and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease, it at
tacks children so suddenly they are
very apt to choke unless given the
pioper remedy at once. There i
nothing better in the word than Dr
King's New Discovery. Lewis Chain
berlain, of Manchester, Ohio, write?
about his children: "Sometimes in
severe attacks we were afraid they
wouli die, but since we proved what a
certain remedy Dr. King's New Dis
covery is. we have no fear. We rely
on it for croup, coughs and colds."

INDIGESTION OVERCOME

Hurried and careless habits of eat

Specialist In
St. Louis was tried. He got so weak
and thoroughly run down that he de
clares he could not walk more than
& hundred yards without resting.
Pew people understand that catarrh
Is a constant drain on the system.
The discharge of mucus which is
going on in such cases Is largely com
posed of blood serum, and Is a great
waste. Sooner or later It will weaken
the strongest man.
According to reports received from
Mr. Johnson, he was In a desperate
condition, but he found relief from
his trouble. We will let him aay how
ha found It. His own words aay:
«*My friends told me to take Pe
runa, and I did so. I now feel that
Peruna has saved my life. It Is the
beat medicine on earth, and I would
not be without It"
This seems almost too good to ha
true. No doubt there are some read
ers that will think so. The above
statements, however, can be verified
by writing Mr. Johnson.
