fHE HICKORY DEMOCRAT | Published j?very Thursday E V MORTON. - Editor and Proprietor W. M. REESE, City Edito. itbrms of subscription. One Year Cash In Advance BL, Months, " " * Ifhree Mouths ' 1 Advertising Rates ou Application Entered at the Post Office at Hickorj second class r-iatter. THURSDAY, FEB. 5, 1914. The second application of the lynch law in this state in the past few months was administered t( a Johnston county negro last week. It is said the negro con fessed his guilt of the crime of murdering a white woman ano no one can say but that he d - served what he got. Still in this enlightened] age, the summary execution of a criminal withou' a trial.no matter what the crime, is nothing short of barbarous, and the members of a mob who take the life of a fellow citizen without due process of law should be vigorously prosecuted. The lynching in Charlotte several months ago was the most brutal in years, and as yet no action has been taken against the members of the mob. It may be that the mob in Johnston county, seeing that the offenders in Charlotte were not prosecuted, took added courage and made quick work of the prisoner. The time has come when lynching must be prevent ed at all costs and save the State from such a shame being spread on the pages of our history. Col. Geo. W. Goethals, who was recently nominated by Pres ident Wilson for Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, was ap pointed to this position on his own request. Col. Goethals was in charge of the construction work of the Panama canal, and it was his desire to be appointed to the governship in order that he might himself organize the permanent operating force with the men who helped him build the,canal. He has proven a mo del character, inasmuch at his steady and close application to such a stupenduous task as building of the canal has been crowned with success, after other men had tried it and failed. It proves that perseverance, togeth er with deliberate and sound judgment will always bring .suc cess in every legitimate under taking. In Favor of Equal Suffrage. Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the United States Supreme Court, has placed himself on record a? favoring equal suffrage for wo men. In an address before the Equal Suffrage League at Rich mond, Va.. the other day he is quoted as saying: "We men had better do like Captain Scott's coon, and 'come down.' Women know they are as much entitled to the ballot as we are. They have set out to get it, and we will have no rest until they get it, Men and bre them, we might as well come down." CRYING FOR HELP Lots of it in Hickory But Daily Growing Less, The kidneys often cry for help. Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed; Not one more important to health. • The kidneys are the filteis of the blood. When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisnous, There can be no health where there is poisoned blood. Backache is one of the frequent in dications of kidney trouble. It is often the kidneys' cry for help Heed it. Read what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for overworked kidneys. Read what Doan's have done for Hickory people. Mrs. A, Wezen, 1443 Ninth Ave., Hickory, N. G , says: "Doan's Kid ney Pills proved beneficial to me and I do not hesitate to recommend them My kidneys were out of order and I suffered from backache.

The Greensboro Daily News of January 28 savs editorially: Every North Carolinian, par ticularly every business man and «very farmer, should procure the last two numbers of the Country Gentleman and read "The But terfat Uplift." an article deal ing with Catawba county, North Carolina. Most people know that there is a creamery or some thing of that sort up there, but we dare sav that this account of what the Catawba folks are real ,y win come as an aston shing revelation to nine-tenths of the population of the state. The sale of butter ar.d milk, according to Barton W. Currie, iutdor ct tne article, is only a mall part of the cooperative company's activities. For in stance, between June 1, 1912, and June 1, 1913, the creamery sold 78,579 dozen eggs; they are iow preparing to handle frozen poultry, sausage, bacon and oth jr products that they will dis pose of through the channels of rade already opened for the sale of butter. Everything they han lle is guaranteed to be strictly •irst-class, and the difficulty, if the experience of the past is any guide, will be, not to find pur chasers for their products, but to supply the demand for them. In the last article published in the Country Gentleman for Jan uary 24, it is the bv-products of the creamery that interests the writer. One of these is a coun try building and loan association. This sounds startling, at first, out the explanation is exceedir.g iy simple. Heretofore the farm er has had to depend upon his harvest in the fall for ready money. The rest of the year he had to run on credit, and you can't run a building and loan as sociation on credit. But with his monthly creamery checks the farmer can pav his building and loan assessments and never feel it. ' Before they know it," says the article, "their chickens will nave hatched them silos, and hogs will have built them barns." Another thing that the cooper ative creamery has aided in fur thering is the establishment of women's clubs in the country; another is the placing of ele mentary agriculture in the cur riclum of the common schools; another is an increased interest in the farmers' bulletin of the department of agriculture. The cooperative creamery, ac cording to Mr. Currie, is strictly a farmers' affair. True W. J. Shuford, who is a townsman, was active in getting it darted, but the Hickory board of trade took but a languid interest in the affair. But the man to whom this writer gives first credit is John Robinson, president of the creamery. Of him the article says: "Mr. Robinson is what President Wilson would likely term a forward-looking young southern farmer who works on the theory that financial uplift is just the entering wedge to the real missionary work to be done in the countryside. * * * So tar as he and his co workers were concerned they might have gone ahead with their gospel of good farming on a purely business basis and left -;ocial uplift in the academic ?ense to some one who had made a deep study of the subject. They were mere amateurs in ■sociology and many of the other ologies; but their experience of tne past few years had taught them so much in an elemental v way that ttiey were willing to go the limit along the most modern lines of 'community.' " We have a shrewd suspicion that much of Mr. Robinson's good work is explained in the following: "His attractive young wife, who was a town girl, is just as enthusiastic as he is and devotes every bit of her spare time to getting the farmers' wive 3 and daughters together and building up the social life of the country. She has organized a countrywomen's club to dis cuss community betterment, started girls' canning clubs in many districts, and she hopes to organize a cooperative laundry in connection with the creamery." The Catawba county farmers have struck the method that means the material salvation of rural North Carolina. The farm ers or the country have always been the most independent ele ment of the population, but there is such a thing as being pernici ously independent, and this is what the cooperative societies are avoiding. In union there is strength, and in the farmers' union much profit to boot; but it has taken us long to learn it, Mr. Currie has done a service in the state in setting forth in attract ive form the facts about what is happening under our very noses, but which happenings we have nevertheless ignored. If we are to hold our land against the ever-increasing pres sure of immigration every com munity must eventually come to the Catawba county idea—all for one and one for all, as Dumas would put it. "The Butter fat Uplift," is a piece of contem )orary history that the Daily hones will receive general and careful study. • Xltif js & ftne complement. to our county, except as it giv s a black eye to our Chamber cf Commerce. The above editoria was based on t he articles that re cently appeared in th" Country Gentlemen, and the Daily New.- is not responsible foi the asser tion that "the Hickory board of trade took only a lan uid inter est in the aff iir," Tie fact is. the Chamber of Corunerce ex tends every courtesy to tht farmers of our county . and then large assembly room is always open to them whenever t'.iei have a meethig. The assertim made by Mr. Currie in his article is positively without foundation and does Hickory a gross injus tice. Nebraska Gentleman Interested in Catawba. Mr. John W, Robinson, the young Catawba farmer who re ceived so much praise in the re cent articles in the Country Gentleman, sands the Democrat a letter whicii he received from a gentleman in Lincoln, Nebras ka, asking a number of questions about our county. This letter, which we reproduce below, Mr. Robinson says is omy one os the many leUers he is receiving. He says he has rec- ived letter frjm Floriia, Massachusetts Michigan and other siates, The letter is as foli >ws: "I have j ist finfefced reading Barton W. C .rrie's 1c i-tsrs in the Country G mtlema x entitleo "The Butt'rfat Uplift.". Nc doubt you will receive many let ters such as this, and I am sure they will receive at ention from you. Are you people ready to welcome Northern men who wish to settle on land in your seccion? What is the nature of your soil, length of tie grow.ng season, and is the rein fall a nple at that time? What is the a/erage price of land? Will grasses enough grow in the woodlands to make pastures? What is the average yield per acre of corn? WiP apples do well there? If so, will your creamery con.pany later take up the marketing of apples? Is bee keeping profitable? Do you have the cattie tick? Do you have much hog sickness? Will poultry do well if properly cared for? Please give the average high and low temperature for the year. Are the tarms as a rule rough and does the hill lands wash to any extent? Mr, W. S. Palmer and myself will anxiously await your reply to our questions. We are retired railroad men, each having served more than thirty years for the Burlington. Want to settle v. Li jre it warmer than it is in Nebras ka and also where it. will be pleasant to live and where we can make a living farming in a small way. We are not old men (about 55) and have means to es tablish good homes to start with. Mr. Currie's letter will be worth millions to the South in general and has surely put Hickory ir the lime light." MASONS SET PACE. Provide SSOO for Cu ing Needy Tubercular Brethren. At the mee mg of the Grand Lodge of Masons at Laleieh, o =e of the most significant act jns taken was the pro viding of ssot to pay for the treat ment of needy and woi -ay tubercular Masons at th.; State Sanatorium at Montrose, and also the appointment of a committee t > devise iome plan for permanently e idowing ueds at the in stitution. Tie funds provided b;- the State are utterly inadeq .ate to p; ,vide entirely for the treatr ent of (ur tubercular sick, and hen 2 it is i ecessary that these entenne the im itution pay a minimum fee f SI.OO ). ;r day. The usual cost foi sanator; m treatment for tuberculosi , equal tc; that furnish ed at Montros •, ranges -om $2.00 to $3 00 or even $4 00 a ; ay. Thus it rtfill be readily seen that this action on the Masons ir an excellent forward step, not only from a 1 :railitarian but aUo from a ness vicv point. Some fraternal order.-, trade unions and oth» er organization. •; build at i maintain ex pensive sanat ria then selves, but in this State it is ar cheaj tt to divide the expense w th the St te. This actioi on th part of the Masons is especially co amendable, as it doubtless narks th .- beginning of such benevolence amo- g other fra ternal orders, dubs, chu.ches, etc. To the Masons, however, belongs the credit of taking the initiative in this good work.

Dr. Hartman, of Columbus, ©hlo, (discusses an important health teplc. He says: Yes, it is the climate, not the geraas, that we have to fear In this country. The germs are present, to be Mr*, and are of some significance in diagnosis. Climate, a changeable climate, is the true cause of disease.

The area of high pressure forms ftl the northwest. Moves rapidly s#ath east, subjecting millions of our population to its influence. The re sult is, thousands upon thousands of people catch cold. A small per ceai. of these thousands do not get well el their cold. It goes into pneumonia, or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis, 4* laryngitis, or pleurisy. * Now, what I am getting at is thfc.
