THURSDAY MAR. 18, 1915. 2 THE CHARTER AMENDMENT We are publishing below the amendments to the Charter of Hickory as passed by the Legis lature, A Bill to be Entitled Ail Act to Amend the Charter of City of Hickory. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact Section 1. That section five (5) of article VII of the Private Laws of nineteen hundred and thirteen (1913) be stricken out, and the following substituted in lieu thereof:- "Every application and bid for franchise under this article shall j be accompanied by a cash deposit j of one hundred dollars or a certi fied check therefor, as a guaran- j tee of the good faith of the ap-, piicant or»bidder. Upon the fran-: chise being awarded, all deposits; made by unsuccessful bidoefs shall be returned. The deposits of the successful bidder shall be retained until the filing and ap proving of the surety bond here inafter provided for." Section 2.-That section seven j (7) of said article VII be amend- j ed by striking out the word "tea j days" in line twelve and insert- j ing in iieu thereof the words "four months." i Section 3.—That section eight (8) of said article VII be amend;! Ed by adding at the end thereof the words "except in case of street, railway for which frar-j chise or privilege may be grsnted for fifty years," Section 4.-That section nine (9) of said article VII be amc-iKi ed by striking out the wcrd "four" and inserting in lieu thereof the word "eieht" in line three. Section s.—That section twelve (12) of said article VII be amend ed by striking out the word "or at any time before as stated in the ordinance," in line three. > Section 6.—That this act shall 1 be in force from and after its ratification. j i —— We have been informed that the above amendments were signed by three citizens of Hick-; ory and sent to Senator Jonas and Representative Killian to be passed. Possibly a few letters or telegrams followed the letter containing these amendments asking that they be passed, nevertheless we have been re liably informed that a letter was! sent to Senator Jonas asking him ' to see that no amendments to j the Charter of the City of Hick ory be passed without leaving it to a vote of the citizens of Hick ory. ; We think the Legislature of North Carolina and the represen tatives from Catawba County took much authority in amending the Charter of a city the size of Hickory without a vote of the people. Too Severe a Limitation, There are to be five members of the new Trade Commission, but because one of the Presi dent's appointees, Mr. Rublee, of New Hampshire, is personally offensive to Senator Galiinger, of the old guard, the Senate in an all-night session confirmed only iour of them. Various important Federal of fices in New York City have fill ed by Presidential appointment, but because one of the men named is personally offensive to Congressman Fitzgerald. of Brooklyn, we are told that tjpe whole fabric of Democratic or ganization in this neighborhood is crumbling and that the awful consequences will rest upon the President alone. In both Houses of Consrress there are 531 members. If no body is to hold Federal office who is personally offensive to one or more of these gentlemen, a limi tation more severe than any thing prescribed by the Constitu tion is to be placed upon the ap • 1 pointing power of the President. How long is it since Democrats subscribed to the idea that to be qualified for public station a man iiiust be personally acceptable to every orle of 500 odd Senators and Representatives?— New York World. i j How To Give Quinine To Children, j TEBRILINE Is the trade-mark name piven to as; ' improved Quinine.

The j»{ne FKBRJLtNii i 8 blown lu b«tUe, 25 cent* ! Four Amendments to Be Submitted. The General Assembly passed the bill providing for submission to the people, at the next general election, of four constitutional ! amendments. These provide, i first, for the restriction of local and private legislation by the ; General Assembly; second, for j the elimination of special ' char ' ters to corporations by the same i body; third, for the restrictions !in granting charters to cities, towns and incorporated villages; fourth, for the election of er , " ,T -gency judges. These am tx I ments were defeated at the.ia .t i general election when six oti:er ! amendments were defeated. I The first amendment is by far the most important. Submitted | alone and attention directed to 'its merits, without complication : with other amendments, the peo ple would probably adopt it. Cer ! tainly the need for it is pressing. ; But the trouble with the corsti i tuticnai amendments last fall was ; that those to which no objection could be raised, and the need for which was admitted, fell with ihDse on which opinion was divid ed, because all were on the same ticket. Four amendments may bo too many to submit at one time, but The Landmark is hop ing the people won't forget by the next election that 75 to 90 i per cent of the time of the legis lative session just ended was taken up with business that should be translated by county commissioners.-Statesviile Land mark. Mr. Elliott's Views. To the Good People of Hickory: My position on the New Chart er is well known, I spent some time yesterday in the City Man ager's office looking over and in vestigating the Auditors reports, and am of the opinion that there are a great many things that win result in great and lasting good to our city from the New Charter. I tind from the actual expense of management um'or the New Charter, that it h3S de creased. Tne large majority of : new charter advocates are ear | nestly working for the best in terest of Hickory, and are will ing to make such changes in the Charter as will bring about the bsst results I realize and appre ciate the difficulty of inauguiat ! ing a new system and the fre quent changing of the City Man ager proves that the Board of Aldermen have been endeavoring !to get the best results for the City. I I advise all the Citizens to work in harmony and give the New Charter, a fair and impar tial trial and if it proves what its ffriends claim for it we will all be glad, if it does not the people can change or repeal it altogether, iMy remarks at the City Mana | ger's office made under what 1 considered provocation by • par -1 ties interfering with the action ! of the fourteen gentlemen and business men who made the few suggested changes in the New Charter, are not to be taken ser- I iously and were not intended to convey the idea that the Nev\ | Charter did not contain some j great features and in a greu I many respects is a vast improve ! ment over our old charter. J. D. ELLIOTT. Repents, Sends Back $5. 1 Hotel guests have stolen silver spoons for souvenirs for decades Occasionally one skips out with out paying his biil and tht have been many cases in whit restitution has been made later because of a guilty conscience The oddest thing in this line, however, has been made known in the Hotel Griswold, at Detroit, Mich., when Seth Frymire, tht clerk, opened up a parcel package. He unrolled from the pape> wrappings two bath towels Which bore the hotel stamp and inside was a note printed with a lead pencil and a $5 bill. "I left your house without set ting my bill," the note read. "I want to pay it, as it was wrong." The hotel people think they know who wrote the note, be cause only one guest in the last two months has failed to pay his? bill. But they are not certain and the $5 will be placed in the miscellaneous receipts. A Specific Against Colds.

Writhing under the pitiless publicity to which Secretary lled tield subjected chem, the calam ity fakers of Montgomery coun ty, PA., have only one rejoinder, and that is in the nature of a sneer. They have nothing to say of his proofs that their panic breeding protest was based on falsehood, or of the evidence produced by him that, overcod dled by tariff, their business methods are antiqiated. What these croakers now want to know is why the Secretary of Com merce does not come into the Schuylkill Valley and show its pampered industries how to work under a Democratic tariff. Nc doubt Mr. R^dfield could do that very thing it he were so disposed, for he wai a highh successful business man before he entered the Cabinet, and he never was dependent upon puo lie alms or crooked laws. In his present position he has a field m .ch widet than that occupied by nis challengers, in which, i: we are not mistaken, he wi 1 not only show the people how to do business under a reformed tariff, but txp?se to such shame as thev are capable of all the greedy ~q'dealers of bygone tariff days wno no longer hLve all of their Severe Head Pains Caused By Catarrh Cured By Per una I it Smli a Dut v to Mankind Know °f urc * Peruna D * d It.
