Demo crats in assembling for the state Democratic convention hoped ibut their hopes were tinged with fear- that sentiment would crystaV.ze on a candidate that would be acceptable to all sides. The already complicated situation became further involved due to over night developments. These included an announcement by a representative of William Randolph Hearst that he would be a candidate in the primary campaign, regardless of the actiion of the convention, but that he would abide by the deqision in the pri mary. This served to redouble the efforts of the upstate leaders who have been trying to secure a candidate against Hearst. THE SHOWER Yes, we have showers of rain which make our gardens and fields grow, but last Thursday night when a host of Hickory friends struck our porch it sounded as though a storm was on, but in a few mrinutes I en tered the room and had so many smil ing faces to greet me, saw the tabie loaded down with little packages, and (Continued on page 4) TO REMOVE TRASH TWO DAYS A WEEK The city of Hickory has agreed for its trash wagons to remove the ac cumulations from the rear of the stores on Main street two days each week Tuesday and Friday and it is hoped that the fullest cooperation will obtain by the stores and the city. Mr. Geo. E. Bisanar is taking the matter up with the individual mer chants and it is expected that no dif ficulty will be met with in keeping Trade avenue clean. Merchants will keep their trash in receptacles on the inside of their buildings until the days for hauling off the stuff and then put it outside. UNION OF LUTjHERANS Representatives of the various Lutheran organizations of this coun try completed plans for a merger to take place on November 15 in New York at a special pubilee celebration, the consolidation will take in the gen eral council and general synod of the Lutheran church and the United Synod of the Lutheran church of the south.

About 1,300,000 communicants will be affected. Mr. J. Wi Shuford raised 58 bush els of wheat this year on 2 1-4 acres as against 56 bushels last year. If the grain had filled out well, the yield would have been at least 75 bushels, it was believed by persons who saw the wheat before it was cut. 1.000,000 MR. JONES men. By the Associated Press.

M- Overnight information does not indicate any radical change in the sit uation over the battle front. The prospects seemed to be that today would be another of heavy attacks and counter attacks with not more than relative changes. The troops of General Pershing and General Petain are holding almost every inch of ground they have gain ed since their counter offensive be gan. The Franco-Amenican forces north of Chateau Thierry now are holding E-pieds and nearby villages and a bit of territory northeast of Mont St'. Pierre. Farther east the enemy is continuing to counter attack unsuc cessfully. Along the greater part of the front artillery fire was the only fea ture, although at places brilliant op erations were undertaken by the in fantry with success. The number of prisoners has been lincreased by thousands and a veri table mountain of captured material has been gathered up. Many of the guns taken had been blown up or damaged by the enemy before he abandoned them. The British efforts along the line from Rheims has been awarded by a bag of prisoners and machine guns.

NEW YORK COTTON By the Associated Press. New York, July 23. Private re ports of showers in Texas broke cot ton prices at the opening of the mar ket today in the face of a very bullish crop report from a southern agency. It was believed that rttns would re store much of the high promise in Texas and sptot houses were very heavy selers, especialy of October, which declined to 25-40, with Decem ber selling off to 24.75. Later a covering movement rallied! October back to 25.54 and December to 24.82, but July suffered from considerable iqu'dation and broke to 28.25 or a net loss of 48 points. he close was steady.

Artillery activity alone- the battle front during the course of the night is all that is re ported in the official statement issu ed by the war office. North of Montdidier, in the Somme sector, a brilliant local operation en abled the French to occupy the vil lages of Mailley, Raineuvel, Fac Fauv illers, Aubillers. The French took 350 prisoners. EDITORS PASS HICKORY ON WAY TO ASHEVILLE A car load of newspaper fellows will pass through Hickory this after noon on 21 en route to Asheville, where for the next two days they will hold the annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association. Sanford Martin, private secretary to Governor Bickett, is president, and J. B. SherrilL editor of the Concord Tribune, is secretary. The program for tomorrow includes addresses of welcome, responses and the president's address, reports of committees and a discussion of the ed itor's duty in war time. On Thursday evening George Creel will be the principal speaker. The two days will be of interest to editors and publishers, for the war has brought about new conditions which they have to face. MOOR E'S FERRY BRIDGE REA DY TOMORROW SHIN Will VISIT THIS SECTION SOON Moore's Ferry bridge will be thrown open to the public tomorrow mom'ng, it was announced today, and free passage between Catawba and Alexander counties will be resumed for the first time since July 15, 1916, when the great freshet swept away bridges and caused immense damage all along the river bottom. Engineer Beish, who has been do ing the work, would have completed the bridge before now but for the scarcity of materials. He found it difficult to obtain many essentials, in cluding flooring, and bad delays were caused. Wyith a force of hands he salvaged most of the steel of the bridge that was swept away two years ago. - MORE GROUND IS TAKEN BY FRENCH For North Carolina: Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday, gen tle shifting winds. Although good rains are reported in various localities of this section of the state, nary a shower worthy of the name has visited Hickory; that is, in the past three weeks. The weather man continues to hold out hope with one hand and withdraw it with the other, but one of these days he will turn loose the lever and the flood gates will release the juice that is so badly needed. Good rains have fallen in the moun tains during the past few days; Mor ganton had a hard shower on Sun day and Newton last night, but it did not extend to Hickory. -The early morning was overcast and some weather sharks thought they sniffed ram, though about noon conditions were not as favorable as earlier in the day. Just about two years ago on July 17, to be exact everybody was hop ing for a dry spell. The b:g fresh et had passed and every industry was trying to clamber back on its feet; the Record, among them, was being driven by a gasoline engine, which raced back and forth across the press room, missed fire, refused to budge and then raced again. It was an exciting case but the Record won it. The reader may wonder what all this has to do with the weather to day. It is remiscent, that's all, and it fills space in a dull season, when everybody is thinking about the war news or is too busy to put the report er onto something better. In any event, reverting to the weather once more, it is a safe propo sition that the Hickory section will have a good ra n before Thursday, I regardless of what the fellows m Washington send out. By the Associated Press. London, Jly 23 In the Mont didier fighting today, the French be sides capturing the villages of Aubillers and Sauvillers swept to the crest of M'ailly-Raineval, and cap tured it. Paris, July 23. When the Bava rian crown prince answered the Ger man crown prince's appeal for help and sent some of his divisions from the Picardy front to aid the Germans in the Marne salient an equal number cf British divisions was detached from the northern front and moved to tho battle sector southwest of Rheims. The British divisions are composed of picked troops. It is interesting to note that the British divisions on the front south west of Rheims have again taken the same place in the battle order which the British occupied when driven back in the May offensive. The r transport from the British front to the Cham pagne front was executed in a most skillful manner. French troops says La Liberte, con tinue to cross the river Marne in strong force northeast of Chateau Thierry. They are following rapid ly on the heels of the enemy, who cannot long hold ground with General de Mitry's army coming up from the south and General de Goutte's army coming from the west The latter army already has reached the reg'on nf rimtplpt wood. General de Goutte's troops, which have been fighting hard since the beginning of Itihe counter oTensiv, last night crushed the effort made by the Ger mans and took 1,000 prisoners. Information received in Paris yes terday morning says that French pa trols operating beyond Chateau Thierry have learned that the retreat of the Germans extends several miles deep. The German artillery can scarcely be heard, th s seemingly in d;cating that the big guns have been ordered to the rear. In their rapid advance north of the river Ourcq French infantry re captured a battery of French six inch guns which the French had abandon ed on May 27. Since that time the guns had been used by the Ger mans. The French immediately put them into action against the enemy, as the Germans d d not have time to destroy them.
