MONDAY EVENING December 27, 1915 KILLING COCK ROBIN A writer in the Metropolitan fcr January gives several reasons wry the American dye industry has been put out of business. As the textile industry grew strong, it demanc'el tyr-m tho (T-ivernment. ragrciJiuiuj1i...H...vt- - .learnings were i and pur cent Textile people wanted cheap nyes and , abDVC 1914 aiKj within 5 per cent of 1CXU1U jjuuijw - - t... u .infina wfrp lowered on colors until many were placed cn . the free list. The Anvricnn indus tries went out of business. Wh'le the German government encouraged "con. ventions" among the mnnufactur2rs, the American government lowered tar iffs allowing German combinations to beat down the prices of domestic dyes. The Germans stood together ; the Am. ericans fought individually, and fell. Now textile men have a lively inter est in the revival of dye-makirg and the whole country feels the ncel of the development of the business. Bat it will never be revived on politics alone, and it will be interesting to see what congress will do.

Ti- rA No Arrests Made by Police Good Liisewnere. Christmas passed quietly in Hick- ory. From Friday until last n:ght the various ercises were held in the churches and Sunday schools in the presence of large audiences, , and the thl l o"i" -mcers had less to do P E52-vbodv was simolv on his eood behavior.

At any rate, there are no itorics of arrests as often is the case At Christmas time, and it is inferred that all in all, the Uate passed the quietest holiday in years. MAY GET SANATORIUM Events of the last few days have it seems, made it possible for Hick- ory to get a large sanatorium. It is said Colonel Thornton has taken the matter under serious consideration of altering and converting St. Paul's Seminary into a modern and up-to- date sanatorium. If such a good thing for Hickory is accomplished it would be brought about for the special benefit of I.:rs. Thornton, who is now in her 87th year and if she could receive such atten- tion as she would get in such an In- stitution she would survive 15 more years or possibly longer, Colony.

But gunpowder has a long infancy, and during that infancy the picturesque side of war, especially war at sea, did not wholly disappear. It was especially marked in the wars of the buccaneers, morally destestable as they were. When the low, swift pirate vessels flying, as one likes to think the skull and cross bones, en- gaged the rreat clumsy galleons it was warfare about as primitive as much later date. . It has remained for the zutn century to show us a truly barbarous as well as a most unpicturesque style of sea warfare.

Medical school inspection for the colored schools of Nash county is now the plan of work in which that county's whole time health officer, Dr. J. C. Braswell, is now engaged. Doctor Braswell who was a visitor in the office of the state board of health yesterday said that by January 15 he would have com pleted the school inspection work for about 40 colored schools in Nash coun ty and would be ready to again visit the white schools. Doctor Braswell believes in teaching health to the colored people and says that he never fails to get hearty re sponse on health days and willing co operation in all health matters. "One of the best things along the line of school and health work that has ever been done for our county," said Doctor Braswell, "is the compul sory smallpox vaccination law. It works fine, and our schools are now moving alon- without a hitch. How ever," he added, "we do need some open air schools." !? Earli Directory HUNSUCKER, M. D.

Joe Sills of this place met with an accident Fri day afternoon at Badin which may cost him his life. Mr. Sills was em ployed with a force of carpenters at work on the buildings of the Alumi num Company of America and while on the second story of a building his foot slipped and he fell for 12 or 15 feet landing on the left side of his face on the roots of a large oak stand ing near the building. His collar bone was badly fractured and his face badly bruised and cut. At first the physicians thought his skull was. fractured but later examinations dis close the fact that the skull is un broken, although his condition is still regarded as serious if not fatal. He was brought home Friday night. Those who saw him fall say the won der is that his neck was not broken and he instantly killed. - - - - piwr E3 We Want "You P n E3 E3 a a to consider this bank "just as a place of business dealing m mont and fSSS a place of business that ; is vitally interested in the ftuS growth and up-builamg of both our town and tributary territory.
