GO-MUM DAY
NEXT SUNDAY
The movement for every body
to >ro to church next Sunday is
gaining headway. Cards have
been distributed inviting all to
make their arrangements tor at
tending church. It is desired
that all shall go on Sunday morn
ing, but if that is impossible, go
to tiie evening service.
What a splendid thing it will
be to see every body on their way
to the house of God, and what an
inspiring sight for a church full
of people to face the minister in
every house of God in the town.
This is Go-to-church Day in
Charlotte, and in a great many
other towns throughout the Uni
ted States.
It is to be hoped that this will
be the beginning of better things
in this whole country, and that
the practice of church attendance
will be begun in many a case,
that will continue through to the
end of life.
The Old Hickory Tavern.
By COL. G. M. YODER.
It is the object or* the writer in
this complicated historical sketch
to say something about the origin
and erection of the old Hickory
Tavern House that was located
on the old Island Ford road,
What little we know about this
old tavern has been gathered
from traditionary history, and
but little of it could be collected,
as it happened so long ago that
all the people who lived in its
surroundings have since died
and consequently when they died
this history was lost to present
living generation. We suppose
that the original road was first
cut out by immigrants, travelers
and private citizens, as was the
custom in those days to get in
to the interior of the country to
seek homes.
Then, at this time, it was
Burke County, and Morganton
was the county seat, which was
located in 1778, 135 years ago,
and, according to tradition, was
then the western . terminus of
this road. Now the important
question is, did Burke County
make it a public highway or not?
Tradition tells us further that
when Gen. Morgan left Gilbert
town, now in Rutherford county,
with the captive prisoners taken
at the battle of King's Mountain,
he came by the way of Morgan
ton on his way to deliver them
at some point in Virginia. On
his way to Virginia he came
down the Island Ford road by
the old Hickory Tavern House
(afterwards built) and went in
to camp at Vaughn's Field after
wards knewn as Vaughn's Old
fieids, now West Hickorv near
where the Piedmont Shops are
now located. This happened
about 133 years ago. Eight years
afterward it became Lincoln
county. Now did Burke county
make this a public highway
during these eight years or not?
Then we we will suppose that
Lincoln county had to build a
road from the Catawba river to
the present Burke county line.
Now we will come nearer down
to the supposed time when the
original Hickory Tavern was
built, and give the legends show
ingwhyit was called Hickory
Tavern. The first legend is that
a beautiful hickory shade tree
stood before the door in the yard
and received its name from the
hickory tree- Then there is
another legend told that some
person passed the house and the
man was whipping his wife with
a hickory switch, and this is a
reason given why it was called
Hickory Tavern.
When the Hickory Tavern was
built, there lived a man by the
name of William Ashe in that
vicinity who sold his farm about
the year 1820 and went to Hay
wood county but the bouse had
been kept as a public inn for the
entertainment of travelers. He
had a daughter who married
Jacob Dietz and while Ashe was
in Haywood county, kept writing
for them to come there, so he
concluded to go, but when he got
there he didn't like the country
and got the blues and came back
i n about a week. Then the prop
erty passed into the hands of
John Wilfong Seignor who gave
it to his daughter, Mollie, who
afterwards became the wife of
Henry W, Robinson. When Dielz
came back this house was unoc
cupied. He rented it and lived
there two years. This was about
the year 1320. During these
two years he didn't keep travel
ers and the inn was abandoned
as a house of entertainment,
ihen Joe MaHaffey opened one
at his house about five miles east
i the old Hickorv Inn which he
Kept open until his death. This
house is now the property of
James Miller near St. Timothy j
Lutheran Church. Then the old i

TEACHER FINED FOR
WHIPP NC PUPIL
Rev. H. G. Kopenhaver. prin
cipal of the Startown , High
School, was convicted in jus
tice's court here Saturday for
exceeding the limit in adminis
tering punishment to a pupil.
Rev. Kopenhaver was fined $3.00
and the costs, from which he ap
pealed to the Superior Court.
His bond was fixed at $50.00,
which he gave.
This is the first instance in a
good many years where a school
teacher in this eounty was fined
for excessive punishment of a
pupil. At the trial the evidence
brought out and testified to by
six witnesses alleged that he had
beaten the boy with a hickory j
stick two and one-half feet long
and three-fourths of an inch
thick. This stick was used in
the school room as a pointer. As
a result of the punishment the
boy is said suffered great pain and
has not yet fully recovered. Rev,
Kopenhaver said the boy had
given him considerable trouble
all during the school and that only
the day before had cautioned
him to do better or he would be
forced to severly punish him.
The case whs tried before Just
ices S. E. Killian and L. R.
Whitener. The defendent was
represented by Atty. W. C. Feim
ster, of Newton, while Atty. C.
L. Whitener, of this citv, prose
cuted. The case attracted a large
crowd to the trial, and created
considerable interest.
Hickorv Tavern was scarcely oc
cupied by any person. When
Joe Miller returned from the
west he lived in it for several
year 3. Then we think Bob Raby
lived in it for a number of years.
At the time the railroad was
being built no one was living in
it. Before the railroad was
built the writer used to travel a
great deal through that section
of tlie country and found it in
terspersed with black jack
shrubbery, and found it to be
the home of seed ticks, the
gicker and all kinds of reptiles.
In 1861 we went up to the old
Hickory Tavern to view the
place and found a depot among
the black jack: shrubbery. It
looked very lonesome there bv
itself. We found no one at the
place. It then was the inten
tion of the writer to select lots,
but after looking around thought
that it was a poor chance to in
vest money there in property and
abandoned the scheme and went
home without selecting any lots.
This property has since grown
into a populous city with all
kinds of business and different
manufacturing plants which is
an honor to Catawba county.

a feeder for some other person

HAS NEWTON FOUND THE
SAME?
The Answer Is Found in the
Straight-forward Statement
of a Newton Resident.
We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Hickory
citizens who have been rid of distress
ing kidney and bladder troubles by
Doan's kidney Pills, and we have of
ten wondered whether the same high
opinion of this medicine is to be found
in our neighborine towns. This frank
and earnest statement by a well known
and respected resident of Newton will
set this doubt at rest.
N. J. Cloer, Pine St., Newton, N.

very beneficial to rae. 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 Pilli, I
felt better. They soon made me well.
I have recommended them before and
am glad to confirm ray endorsement."

having assembled In special meeting this first day of De

In Waehlngton on November 28, 1913, of William Wilson
Finley, for the past seven years President of Southern
Railway Company, adopts the following minute to be
spread on the recorda of the Company and to be published
In the newepapere of the South.
WILLIAM "WILSON FINLEY was bom at Pass
Christian, Mississippi, on September 2, 1858, and en
tered railway service in New Orleans in 1878. During
the succeeding twenty-two years he had a varied expe
rience, earning steady promotion and a growing repu
tation, in the traffic departments of several railroads
and in charge of traffic associations, in the west and
southwest. In 1893, soon after the organization #f
Southern Railway Company, he began, as Third Vic»-
President in charge of traffic, his service for this Com
pany in which, with an interval of a few months In
1896, he conUnued until his death eighteen years later.
He became President of this Company in December,
1906, at a moment when the work of gathering in and
welding together its lines into a consolidated system
had been done. The map had been made. There art
no more miles of railroad included in the system today
than there were when he became President. His task
was, therefore, complementary to the work already done
and the history of the development of the property
during the past seven years is the history of how be
conceived and accomplished that task of conservation
and progressive development. During his administra
tion the revenues of the Company increased 20.95 per
cent, (comparing 1918 with 1907), but what is even
more his achievement, the balance of income available
for dividend (but largely put back into the property)
increased 209.07 j-er cent.
This record of material success is in no small meas
ure the result of Mr. Finley's policy and practice of
building and strengthening a working organisation of
the Company so far as concerns personnel. He inaug
urated and steadfastly enforced a rule of promotion
to fill vacancies within the. organization, by recognition
of demonstrated merit, with the result that he secured
and conserved that loyal identification with the inter
est of the South and of the Company, and that sense
of personal responsibility in all ranks of the service,
which is one of the most valuable assets the Company
has today.
On the public side of his responsibility Mr. Finley
developed largely during the past seven years. Con
vinced of the duty of accepting the changed conditions
in respect of the administration of industry incident
to the governmental policy of regulation of the rail
ways by public authority, he was nevertheless keenly Im
pressed with the apparent lack of understanding on
the part of the public of the problems of railway man
agement. He, therefore, devoted much of his time to
the discussion of such questions before representative
audiences In all parts of the country, but chiefly in
*he South, and the effect upon public opinion of his

Mr, Garrison was born and

For 50 years he has been a ruling

of the stock law in/Mecklenburg,
and a leader in mffty of the most

for the advent of the motor-driv
en vehicle; to wait 70 or 80 years
for the advent of the telephone.
He was 29 years old when eth

frank, straightforward and manly utterances aiyi pa
tiently iterated doctrine has been long recognized, but
was remarkably demonstrated by the expressions which
have been received since his death from public bodies
throughout the South. He did much in this way to
correct a sen iment from which all railway property
has suffered in recent years—a sentiment which has
found its expression in an erroneous belief that a rail
way takes from the public more than it gives, and his
effort in word and deed was to restore a just balance
of understanding of the economic necessity, to every
citlsen in his daily life, of a well maintained, honestly
administered and prosperous transportation system.
In other ways also he gave expression to a broad
view of the indentity of interest between the welfare of
the railways and that of the public. He lent active
co-operation to the chief educational, Industrial and
commercial interests of the South, and a moral support
to every movement which is making for the welfare of
the South, but perhaps his greatest service of this na
ture was his successful campaign for the promotion of
better agriculture.
Gently born and gently bred, it was Mr. Pinley's
fortune to be thrown upon his own resources at an
early age and without the advantages of a university
training and experience usually enjoyed by his asso
ciates: it was, therefore, a peculiar satisfaction to him
and to his friends that in 1910 he received, with the
assurance that it was no mere decoration, a degree of
Doctor of Laws from Tulane University at New Or
leans, the principal seat of learning In the community
where he had spent his youth.
On the personal side, Mr. Finley was essentially a
gentleman: he demonstrated on many occasions' the
combination in his character of those qualities which
may be expressed by the words modesty and coufage.
He was fair and just in all his dealings, courteous to
all men, slow to anger, but fierce in his resentment of
injustice in others. Partisan in-his love for and belief
in the South and its future and in the Southern Rail
way as an important factor in that community, he con
vinced his associates that he never allowed partisan
feeling to colour his judgment to such an extent that
he could not always see the other side: but a policy once
determined he set about its accomplishment with a
characteristic belief in the potency of persistence and
an unhesitating use of all the power at his command.
He had at all times the confidence, the respect and
the good will of this Board and of every member of
it, and in his death the Board and every member of it
feels the loss of a friend of charming personal qualities
as well as an official associate of commanding ability.
The Secretary la directed to express to the surviving
member* of Mr. Flnley's family the respectful sympathy
of this Board and to transmit ts them a suitably en
grossed and attested transcript ef this minute.

Since December 1 the express

North Carolina cannot prevent a

Alfalfa in Catawba (Jountv.
By H. K. FOSTER/ 5
Every farmer in this county
can have a small piece of alfalfa
by exercising a little care and at
tention to details. With bran
and cotton seed meal at present
high prices, one or two acres in
alfalfa will greatly cut down the
amount of money paid out each
year by the farmers for expen
sive feeds. Here are some plain
directions for growing alfalfa,
and remember these directions
must be followed exactly if suc
cess is to result.
First. Select a well drained
soil with no wet or "sprouty"
places in it, If the land is wet
it must be drained with tile.
Alfalfa will not grow in a wet
soil,
Second. Apply four tons of
ground limestone per acre and
plow under, doing a good job of
deep plowing; next put on a good
heavy coat of manure and four
tons mere of ground limestone
per acre and harrow and mix the
same with the soil with a disk
harrow.
Third. Drill in 300 pounds of
16 per cent acid phosphate or
basic slag and 50 pounds Muriate
of Potash per acre and sow to
cow peas or soy beans.
Fourth. Turn under the cow
peas or soy beans in late summer
apply 500 pounds 16 per cent
acid phosphate or basic slag and
100 pounds of muriate of potash
per acre. Inoculate the soil with
some soil from an old alfalfa
field, or inoculate the soil or seed
with some of the artificial cul
tures generally advertised in
the farm papers. Prepare a good,
fine seed bed and sow 20 pounds
of seed per acre in September.
About the 15 of the month as a
rule, will be the best time. By
sowing at this time of the year
trouble from weeds and crab
grass will be avoided. In using
the large amount of ground lime
stone recommended, the farmer
should remember that the large
amount applied will furnish a
plentiful supply for the use of
the alfalfa for a very long period
of time. Attempts to supply
growing alfalfa with lime by top
dressings later have not been
successful as a rule. Put on
plenty of lime and be done with
it. The farmer should not pay a
high price for the ground lime
stone, As a matter of fact, it is
now possible for ground lime
stone to be obtained at very
reasonable prices in car lots in
bulk at many points in this sec
tion. In starting alfalfa on the
farm, do not attempt too much
at first. Better only one or two
acres at most, started properly
and made a success, than to have
a failure on four or five acres.
