JAN. 22. 1914. ■C Trade Avenue, the street just izTthe rear of Hickory's princi pal business block is badly in need of paving. When bad Weather comes this street gels in a fearful condition, and be sides getting very muddy, is also very unsanitary. By seeing that this street is well drained and paved, a decided improve ment would be made both in its appearance, and also add to the comfort of citizens who are com pelled to use this street. Fully •ne half or three fourths of the country people who come to town to do their shopping, use this ■treet as a hitching place for their teams, have to wade through the black mud to get to the stores. Not only these people are anxious to have the street improved, but the mer chants are also very anxious and will lend their help to make the improvements. This is not in the nature of a kick, but The Democrat would like to see these improvements made for the benefit of the people. In the selection of John Mitchell as city manager to suc ceed C. M. Sherrill, who recent ly resigned, the mayor and board of aldermen are to be congratu lated on their wise choice. Mr. Mitchell is a brilliant young lawyer who came here several months ago from his home in Winton, N. C., and opened up an office for the practice of his pro fession. Since coming here he has made many friends by his genial personality and clever ness. The city council could pot have made a wiser selection of a man to fill the position. Mr. Sherrill, the retiring incumbent of the office, has successfully carried out the wi&hesof the citizens and has shown that the commission form of government is not only a money-saver for the city, but is one of the best and most aucoessf ul governments ever devised for a municipality. Of course there has been some kicks given Mr. Sherrill, but they all come as a matter of fact. No man has yet lived, who helo any kind of a public office, that didn't make some enemies. Con sidering the fact that in the campaign for the commission form of government last spring there were many who were so vigorously opposed to the meas ure that they have not yet sriven their support to the new charter, Mr. Sherrill has done extremely well. Now, citizens of Hickory, since the board has so wisely chosen Mr. Mitchell to succeed Mr, Sherrill, it is your duty to eive your full and united sup port in helping to make Hickory one of the very best towns in the State, and to help Mr. Mitchell to discharge his duties in a way that will be satisfactory to every one concerned. We all live here, we spend our money here, ana futhermore, we all love our little city, which is fast growing to be the best town in Western North Carolina, Think how much faster the town will grow if we have harmony in our city gov ernment.

Only forty-four lynchings, known to be such beyond doubt, have occurred in the Uinted States during the year 1913. This is the lowest number on record, more than fifty being recorded last year and as many as 250 in some previous years. The record for the year shows decided improvement in other re spects than in number of victims So far as the newspaper accounts show none of the victims was burned at the stake, an atrocity that has been indulged in by in furiated mobs more than once in the past. Nor were any of the lynching cases this year accom panied by the so-called race riots which always added to the num ber of victims and served to in tensify the antagonism of the white and black races. The town of Harriston, Miss., furnished the nearest approach co a "reign of murder," when ! two drug-crazed mulatto boys, on September 28, ran amuck and started a riot in the course of which three white men, four negro men and one negro woman met their death. The two Doys were killed by the citizens, but as they met death while re sisting capture the case cannot strictly be classed as one or lynching. In the 44 lynchings the vic tims of all but one were negroes and all but two of the cases oc curred in Southern States. No woman was included among the yesr's victim;?. North Dakota and Montana were the two West ern States in which lynchings occurred. Tne States in which the lynch ings occurred during the year and the number in each were as follows: Alabama 2. Arkansas 1, Louisiana 4, Mississippi 8, Men tana 1. North Carolina 1, North Dakota I, South Carolina 1, Tennessee 2, Texas 6, There was at least one lynching for every month in the year, August the nottest month, leading with i eight. Double lynchings occurred at Blanchard, La., Cornell, Ga.. and Paul's Valley, Ck a, At Houston, Miss., two negroes were lynching a day apart, both being accused of complicity in the same crime. At Drew, Miss , a negro was lynched by mem bers of his own race after he had shot and killed two negro women and two negro men. As in previous years, murders of white persons and crin. *3 or alleged crimes against white wo men caused most olthe summary executions. The murders were in the big majority, however, and the number of cases in whicii at tacks on women were charged showed a gratifying decrease over the figures of previous years. Nineteen of the victims of the 44 lynching were accused of the, murder of white men. Four were charged with murder ing white girls or women. At tempted criminal as3iilts is on re cord as responsible for nine of the lynchings. Two negroes were lynched for frightening white women and one for insult ing a white woman, and another for being found concealed under a bed in a woman's room. Two negroes were assisting a negro murderer to escape and another for horse stealing. In one case the crime charged against the victim was not stated. Col. H. C. Cowles Succumbs to Paralysis. Statesville, Jan. 15. —Col Henry C. Cowles, who way stricken with apoplexy at his home here Monday morning, died yesterday afternoon shortly before 2 o'clock.

The fur.eral service will be held at the residence on Broad street this afternoon at 4 o'clock and the burial will be in Oakwood cemetery. HAS NEWTON FOUND THE SAME? The Answer Is Found in the Stra ght-forward Statement of a Newton Resident. We have been reading week after week in the local press of Hickorv citizens who have been rid of distress ing kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's kidney £ills, and we have of ten wondered whether the same high opinion of this medicine is to be found in our neighboring towns. This frank and earnest statement by a well known and respected resident of Newton will let this doubt at rest. N. J. Cloer, Pine St., Newton, N. C , says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved very beneficial to me. I had pains through my back and kidneys. My kidneys were sore and the action was irregular and painful. I could not straighten after bending over. Soon after I used Doan's Kidney Pill-, I felt better. They soon made me well. I have recommended them before and am glad to confirm my t ndorsement.''

Experts declare that the reasor stomach disorders are so common In this country Is due to hasty and care less habits of eating. Stomach troubles and run-down conditions usually go together. John W. Skillen of Sidney, Ohio, says: "I had a bad stomach trouble for years, and became so weak that I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetite was poor, and it seemed impossible to get any relief. Since taking inol' I find a remarkable im provement in my health, my digestion is much stronger, and I have gained In -weight. I would not be without Vinol." Vinol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol is easily assimilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vinol with the un derstanding that your money will be returned If it does not help you. P.
