HItiKORY ASSURED OF CA TAWBA FAIR. The president of the Catawba Fair informs us that Hickory will get the fair. The business men of Hickory are ready to con tribute a liberal amount to get the fair here, not onlv for the benefit of Hickory, but for the farmers of the surrounding country. We see no reason why we should not have the best ex hibits here we have ever had, and as good as can be seen at any fair in the state. We hear the fair will be some time in October and the people of Hick ory will put forth every effort to make it a success. The exact date will be published later and we want to invite every one in reach of here to be present at that time and see what the farm ers of Catawba and adjacent counties are doing in the way of farming and dairying. We want to call special attention to the poultry that will be on exhibition here. The Democrat will ask the neighboring papers to aid us on this occasion in giving publicity to their readers, so they can be present on this occasion, as it will be of interest to every busi ness man and farmer in the State to see what will be to see at the fair in Hickory. We es pecially want to ask the farmers to take an interest in this great educational work that will be of so much benefit to the farmers, who are behind the times in their way of farming. It is the intention of the citizens to have the biggest crowd here at the fair ever seen in Hickory. We are writing this to urge and insist on Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, to enter the race for Governor of North Carolina. We felt that it will be onlv a few years that we will have one of the Confederate Soldiers in the State left to fill an office, and we owe this honor to Gen. Carr and urge and insist that he be a candidate in the coming election. No man in North Carolina is more capable of filling the office than Gen. Carr and it is the duty of the citizens of the State to offer to him this honor that he so deserves. We hope Mr, Carr will consider the matter and come out and let his friends who are so anxious to see him gov ernor of this grand old state know that he is a candidate and give them the pleasure of voting for him in the coming election. No man has been more loyal to his state and people than Gen. Carr, and we want the privilege ofjsupporting him in the coming election for Governor. In our opinion, in eight years from now we will never have the privilege to cast a ballot for an old Confederate soldier. There fore we ask that the citizens of the state insist upon Gen. Carr being a candidate. Annual Reunion to be in Raleigh. The North Carolina Confed erate Veterans Reunion this year will be held in Raleigh and the date is June 10 when the monument to the Women of the Confederacy will be unveiled on Capitol Square. President John C. Drewry in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and city of Raleigh extended the invita tion for the reunion in this city and the acceptance from Maj. Henry A. London was received a few days ago. In accepting the invitation Maj. London states that on ac count of the occasion the largest crowd of Confederates who ever attended an annual gathering will be~ present in Raleigh on June 10. Preparations are now under way to make the reuion one of the best of the past sev eral years.—News & Observer. The Mothers' Favorite.

Recently there was a sate at the Wright homestead near Fall ston and some of the oldest relics in the state were unearth ed and disposed of. Two years ago, Hicks Wright died and re cently his two maiden sisters died, one on one day and the other on the following day. It became necessary to settle up the estate and W. D. Lackey was appointed administrator. The Wright family had been remark able in many respects. It is said their rule in life was never to spend any money. The present day argument to raise the neces sities of life at home was noth ing new to them, for they prac ticed it all their lives, and these three lived at the old home place a mile east of Fallston for four score vears. It is said that Mr, Wright never spent a dollar ex cept to pay taxes. They would sell produce at the stores and if they were not in the market for anything just then, they would take a due bill to be used when they did need merchandise. On one occasion they had enough due bills to pay for a nice buggy and were such misers that some time ago SBOO was discovered in a guano horn in one of the out buildings. Even at the sale after it was thought that all money had been found, an old kettle was about to be auctioned off when it was discovered that therein was $97.50 in gold. A big crowd attended the sale and the things brought far mo re than their physical value becau se of their age. Mrs. E. H. Houser bought a pewter plate which she after ward learned was in possession of her ancestors, Charlie Young of Shelby has an exhibition at Lackey's store a flax spinning wheel which was brought from Ireland by the grandfather of the Wrights 150 years ago. This has been the subject of much comment to passers by on the streets of Shelby. On it is some flax which was grown perhaps a century ago. Mr. Young also purchased a crack reel on which these old people at one time made their own clothing. The Star will soon comment on some copies of "The Spirit of the Age'', a newspaper published in Raleigh in 1851 and devoted to the cause of temperance. Another relic worthy of men tion was an old wooden auger which was used in boring holes in shingles to peg on the roof be fore nails were made. A number of other things of historic interest were sold but suffice it to say for the present, these old people whose luleof life was to save everything, is a lesson for the present-day spend thrift. He Kissed White Girl; Thirty Years in Jail. Los Angeles, March s.—Pro tests, threats of recall and de nunciation poured in today on Judge Willis, of the criminal de partment of the superior court, oecause he sentenced to thirty years imprisonment Charles Guyton, a young negro, convict ed of highway robbery, although he stole only a white girl's kiss. Deputations of white women visited the judge today to de mand that action be taken to save Guyton from such severe punishment. Telephone mes sages informed him that peti tions were being prepared for his recall. Other women called in person to say that steps would be taken to procure a pardon from the governor, Judge Willis explained thai the negro had been convicted oi highway robbery. He had taken a dime from the white girl, al though he gave it back after he kissed her and he had subjected six other young white women to similar treatment, besides crim inally attacking two negro girls. The deputation of women visited the district attorney to learn what was necessary to im peach the judge or otherwise re move him from office. AGE NO BAR. Everybody in Hickory is Eligible.

Morganton Messenger. Saturday evening Mr. Roy Spencer, of Hickory, was a Mor ganton visitor and he came on very important business. His af fiance, Miss Anna Killian, of the same town* was visiting rela rives in Morganton. No sooner had he arrived than he hied him self to the office of the register of deeds and secured license to marry the young lady in ques tion. That night they marched to the Methodist parsonage and Rev. 11. H. Jordan soon had a knot tied that even the object ing parents could not untie. At their regular meeting Mon day the board of county com missioners accepted the resigna tion of R. L. Huffman as jud^e * of the county court to take effect f April ltt. and elected as his suc r cesssor, C. F. McKesson, who is 3 scheduled to retire as Morgan n ton's postmaster some time ri during the present month. It is h needless to say that McKesson y will wear his new "entitle e ments" with honor and distinc -11 tion, both to the credit of him - self and his friends. He knows e the law and his natural judicial ■1 turn of mind should make him * an ideal judge of the county * court. t RETIRED GEORGIA * PLANTER'S ADVICE 10 KIDNEY SUFFERERS. Regarding the wonderful curative 5 merits of your Swamp-Root, I cannot t say too much. After suffering severe ? ly for three years or more with severe 3 pains caused by weak kidneys, I was f finally induced to try Ssvamp-Root through a testimonial I read in one s of the newspapers. I was in such a condition that 1 was obliged to arise from my bed six or eight times every night. I purchased a fifty-cent bottle and before it was used I felt so much relief that I purchased a one-dollar bottle and by the time this was taken the old pains had left my back and I could sleep the whole night through. I am a retired planter, 70 years of age, and owing to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, I am in the best of health and feel like a boy. lam always glad to recommend Swamp-Root to those who are in need of it.

Catarrh of the throat 1s not only an annoying disease of itself, but it ex poses the victim to many other dis eases. We are constantly breathing into our throats numerous atmos pheric germs. Disease germs of all sorts. This cannot be avaiied. If the throat is healthy tha systaai is protected from these paisonous germs. But if the throat is raw and punctured with numerous little ul cers, by catarrh, then the dlieaae germs have easy access to the systam. Keep the throat well and oleaa. This is the way to protect yoursalf against contagious diseases. Gargle the throat as explained in the new ' "Ills of Life," sent free by the Peruna ' Co., Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Barnes says: '1 Bad throat trouble and had three doctors treat ing me. All failed to do me any good, and pronounced my health gone. I concluded to try Peruna, and after using four bottles can say I was en-, tirely cured."
