One Year Cash In Advance $ 1 •» Bix Months, ;; ;; f Three Months " 3 Advertising Rates on Application Entered at the Post Office at Hickorj second class matter. THURSDAY. FEB. 26, 1914. The primary for the City 01 Hickory will be held here on March 30, to select a man for mayor, and aldermen for the Ist and 2nd wards. The election will be held on the 6th of April. We have been informed that two tickets will be put out. If this u done we trust that the men oi Hickory will not resort to th( mud-slinging and abuse that is st often done in an election of th;j kind. We do not approve of dis criminating against a man be cause he does not see everything as we do. Each man has a right to his own opinion even though it should sometimes clash with the opinion of one in whom the 'Ego" is abnormally developed. In our opinion when a few men try to control a town the size oi Hickory it is time to call a halt. We have citizens who have lived in Hickory for a number of years who.are as capable of handling the affairs of our town as any man who happens to come in, and we think it the duty of our citizens to consider this point ill selecting men to fill these offices, regardless of former differences of opinion, as the past has gone, and should not be considered in the present election. President Wilson has brought added honor to his own name as well as to his administration by the able manner in which he has handled the Mexican situation. There were many who openly criticized his attitude in the earlier days of the war, before further developments showed the wisdom of his course. His "Wait and watch" have been the means of saving many lives. There are few men in the United States now who do not feel grateful that his wonderful judgment has kept us out of this bloodv warfare. All foreigners have been warned to leave Mex ico, and if they do not heed the warning they have only them selves to blame for the conse quences. The vast majority of the people of this country are glad to avert a war with Mexico, and only a few of the millionaires are anxious to have war, in order that they may reap the financial benefits that will accrue from such a condition, regardiess of how many of our bovs are killed or maimed for life, From present indications ?t seems that the Mexicans will be able to set tle this matter among them selves, without any outside in terference, and this is so much better than for other nations to have become involved in the struggle. Preachers Can't Please. The preacher has a hard time of it. If his hair is gray he is old. If he is a young man he hasn't had experience. If he has ten children he has too many. II he has none he should have and isn't setting a good example. If his wife sings in the choir she is presumptuous. If she doesn t she isn't interested in her hus band's work. If a preacher reads his notes he is a bore It he speaks extemporaneously he is not deep enough. If he stays at home in his study he does not mix enough with the people. If he is seen around on the streets he ought to be at home getting up a good sermon. If he calls on some very poDr family he is playing to the gallery. If he calls at the home of the rich he is an aristocrat. What ever he does someone could have told him better. He has a fine time living off donations which never come in, and promises that never mature. Next to being an editor the preacher has the world bested for a quiet, peaceful (?) slide down the toboggan of time. —Messenger. The Best Cough Medicine, "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ever since I have been keep ing house," says L. C. Hames, of Marbury, Ala. "I consider it one of the best remedies I ever used. My childen have all taken it and it works like ach rm. For colds ard whoop pmg cough it is excellent." For sale by.Grimes Drug Co. and Moser & Lut2 - . adv. Home Mixing of Fertilizers. Are you using commercial fer tilizers this year? If so, are you in that class of progressive farm ers who are buying the cnemicals and mixing their own fertilizers, or do you still use the hit or miss factory mixed goods? The following are the reasons for buying the checnicals ana doing your own mixing: 1. When a farmer buys the chemicals and mixes his own fertilizers he will study the needs of his soil and his crops instead of letting the fertilizer manufac turer do all of his thinking for *"2!* Only high grade materials will be bought and a better grade of fetilizer can be made, 3. Special mixtures can be made to suit the needs of each field and to suit the different crops planted on these soils. 4. By clubbing together and buying for cash the chemicals in car lots direct from the man ufacturers and large dealers at least one-third of the fertilizer bill can be saved. 5. The farmer can do as good mixing as the average factory 6. When a farmer buys the chemicals for home mixing he will see that nitrogen is the most expensive fertilizing element. No good farmer can afford to buy nitrogen year after year to grow cotton, corn small grain and to bacco. Cow peas, velvet beans, sov beans and the clover draws nitrogen from the air and when any of these crops are grown and turned under, the soil will be well supplied with nitrogen. How To Mix FERTILIZERS. Empty the raw materials on r close wood floor or a hard dirt floor, under shed or outhouse. Spread the materials to be mixed in layers one upon another, then with a shovel and hoe cut down the pile and turn over two or three times, and the materials will be as throughly mixed and give as good results as any ready mixed fertilizers that you buy. It is better not to empty over 400 to 600 pounds at one time as it can be more readily and thor oughly mixed in small quanti ties. Your county Demonstration agent will be glad to advise with you about the best fertilizer mixtures for your soils and crops. Call on him. H. K. Foster. Getting Good Men. The movement which has been started in North Carolina to make extraordinary effort to elect onlv the best men to the next general assembly of the state is worthy of utmost impe tus. It is hard to tell, however, whether it will amount to any thing. Sometimes the best men in a community are not the men the people want to elect to re sponsible positions, no matter how worthy they may be for the office nor how sorely the office is in need of men of their character and capacity. We have seen such citizens as these, some of the most outstanding men of a community, shamefully defeated in popular elections. And so frequently has this happened that it has been growing all the more difficult to get the, consent of these big men to run for an office. They are able to fore shadow the outcome of contests in which they were urged to en ter by reason of the precedents of the past; This does not es sentially indicate that popular government is seriously defec tive in this respect, but it does show that the human passions are so subject to the manipula tions of the expert politician* and the demagogue that, unthin I ingly sometimes, good men wii. vote for the inferior official and against a man they know to be eminently suited for a given office or position. We would not discourage the movement to make a state-wide effort to re generate ourselves along this line, but we must not become so enthusiastic over the subject that we will suffer cynical disap pointments if the effort fails of fruition.—Evening Cronicle. J. N. Baird Dead. Lenoir, Feb. 19.—Early yester day morning, J, N. Baird died at his home a little more than a mile south of Lenoir. Tuesday night he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never rallied. The deceased was 87 years old last October. Mr. Baird was born, reared, lived and died at the old_ home stead, on Lower creek, and was considered one of the county's best citizens in many respects. How is Your Boiler? It has been stated that a- man's stomach is his boiler, his body is his engine and his mouth the fire box. Is your boiler (stomach) in good work ing order or is it so weak that it will not stand a full load and not able to supply the needed energy to your engine (body)? If you have any trouble with your stomach Chamber lain's Tablets will do you good. They strengthen and invigorate the stomach and enable it to do its work naturally. Many very remarkable cures of stom ach trouble have been effected by them. For sale by Grimes Drug Co. and Moser & Lutx. a j v Predictions as to the Future of Country. S. N. D. North, director of the thirteenth census of the United States, made the following state ments before the American Sta-l tistical Association in Boston a few days ago: "The world-wide increase in the cost of living is due to the decreasing proportion of the people engaged in productive agriculture. , "In 1950 our population will be three fourths foreign if immi gration continues at the present rate and native sterilty con tinues. . . 41 Despite the decreasing birth rate our population will reach 300,000,000 by the year 2000, "While population increased 21 per cent in the last decade the food supply increased only 10 per cent. "The living wage is a burning issue and we must soon face the questions of old age pensions and workingmen's insurance. "The science of statistics will be the means of solving the problems growing out of the war between capital and social prob lems." "The world has long been ob sessed by the dread of an im pending struggle between labor and capital," said Mr. North — ''a titanic conflict, involving our entire social system and leading perhaps in another French revo lution. And, lo! the solution is at hand; for the statistician has appeared and behind him is an educated public opinion which demands that equity shall be the basis of compromise and trusts the statistician to prove mathe matically where equity lies." Mr. North, after making his prediction as to the future pre ponderance of foreign blood, said: "It is high time that we made more restrictive the immigration laws which now welcome with inconceivable prodigality the un desirables of every occidential race to the rapidly lessening op portunities of our continent," GOD UVER OIL AND IRON Two Most World-Famed Tonics Combined in Vinol. Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved to be the two most successful tonics the world has ever known—lron for the blood and the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil as a strength and tissue builder for body and nerves, and for the successful treat ment of throat and lung troubles. Two eminent French chemists dis covered a method of separator j the curative medicinal elements of the cods' livers from the oil or grease which H thrown away , but to these medicinal elements tonic iron is now added, thus combining in Vinol the two most world famed tonics. As a body-builder and strength cre ator for weak, run-down people, for feeble old people, delicate children, to restore strength after sickness; and for chronic roughs, colds, bron chitis or pulmonary troubles we ask you to try Vinol with the understand ing that your money will be returned If it does not help you.

Blair, two miles south of Lenoir, their daughter Jessie Hill, was marrisd to Mr. David M. Cloninger, of Newton. The wedding was a very quiet home affair, there being present only a few intimate friends of the family and contracting parties i he ceremony was preformed bv the Rev. Edmund N. Joyner, rec tnr of St. Jame3 Episcopai church of this place. The impessive and beautiful ring ceremony of the Episcopal church was used. —Le- noir Topic. Your Stomach Bad?
