Some of the young people in the Digest stock of Hoods that has ever from Courtney decided they would go tts his friends to his beautiful country home for a watermelon feast, and 13 accepted the invitation. Before the' feast was over it Senatorial Convention 9Qth Senatorial District, com-1 posed of the counties of Wilkes, Yadkin and Davie is hereby called to meet at Yadkinville cn Monday, Sept. . 1910. at 1 o'clock, p. rn., for the purpose of nominat ing a Senator to represent this district in the next Senate of North Carolina. The delegates elected to said convention will take notice accordingly. This Aug. 4, '10. F. W. Hanes. Chairman, 20th Sen. Rep. Ex. Comm. We would call the attention of the Hickory Democrat to the fact that there are 22 democrats beg&w for office in Union county. Many of the most prominent dem ocrats of Randolph county say pub licly that they will not support Mr. Hammer for solicitor, but will vote for Hoi ton. Those few people who are afraid of the truth, had better call around and have their paper discontinued. We can run this flag of freedom without their assistance. Robert N. Pae, the present con gressman from thi3 district, will have the opportunity of meeting John J. Parker, the republican nom inee, on the stump this fall. Every delegate to the Senatorial convention which meets at Yadkin ville m Monday, Sept. 5th, i3 urged to at rend. Don't forget the date, the first Monday in September. Citizens of both, political parties seem to be very much dissatisfied with Mr. Hammer as solicitor. Thi3 fall they will have a chance to eleot a young man of sterling ability, who will fill the office to the satisfac tion of all men. This Judicial district gave a Re publican majority two 'years ago of 636. With such a majority two years ago, it seems to us that the only thing worth while this fall is to know just how big a majority Hoi ton will get over Hammer. We have nothing but contempt for the man who is so narrow-minded that he h afraid to read both sides of a question, and thinks everybody fools who do not believe as he does. We have a few people of this calibre in Davie, but thank the Lord, they don't amount to much. The Republican party did a wise thing for itself in naming Morehead state chairman the other day. It is no use for us Democrats to sneer at Morehead as being Butler's man Friday. He is a clean, able man and his leadership will go a long way towards making Republicanism more respectable than it has ever been. It means harder fighting for Democracy. Hickory Democrat. Robert N. Page is doubtless a good fellow, but Davie and theother coun ties in the 7th Congressional district want a change. They want a man who will do more than draw his sal ary and his breath. So far as we can learn, Mr. Page has done noth ing in particular for this district. Had it not been for a few bundles of free seeds received by some of our people which, by the way, are not worth planting-r-the people in this neck of the woods wouldn't know they had a representative in Con gress. Mr. Parker, Congressman Page's opuonent, if elected, will be in a position to do more for this sec tion than Mr. Page, because he is in sympathy with the administration. The fair-minded people in all parties would do well to think over this mat ter carefully before casting their votes in November. Just Wnistling to Keep Up Courage. The fact that they are claiming that Mr. Morehead is but a tool of Mr. Butler does not mean that they believe it. Durham Herald. been in Arcadia, They are clever young men and will treat you right. They take The Record. When two women kiss it doesn't mean anv more than when two men shake ' hands. In November the majority of the people nf rjaeidsnn countv have made up their minds to take a Stone from Thomasville and put it in Lexington court house. Mr. W. J, Ellis, of Winston, Was- at his old home a few days ago. Mr. T. J. Ellis was in Lexington at court with a little 40 pound mule, but he went back with a good one.

Several of our young people took in the lawn party at Mr. Charlie Long's last Sat urday night and some of our pretty girls caught Horns and some Camels, but all had a nice time. Mr. Dock Martin, of Winston, has been visiting hi3 brothers and sisters in our burg recently. Mr. M. H. Taylor, of Winston, spent Saturday night with his mother here. Mrs. Julia Heathcock, of Winston, has been visiting friends and relatives in and around Smith Grove. Farmers are getting busy breaking wheat land since the nice refreshing showers The hot, dry weather has done much damage to the corn crop. Mr. Pinkney Reavis, of North IredeH, spent last Thursday night with his sister, Mrs. Pearl Owen. Miss Mattie Shutt, of Advance, spent last Sunday with her friend, Miss SallieJ Call, at this place. Miss Maggie Smith, of Cooleemee, is visiting relatives and friends near here. Wild Bill. Rockingham Politics. There was one thing about that . .Republican , convention at Went-M-orth that grieved us. There were lot.j of .young men there taking part young men whose fathers were Democrata.; Weosters Week ly. y ' . , Congressman Cowles Confident., Charlotte, Ang. 6. Republican Congressman Charles H. Cowles, ot the fcightb district, spent last night in the city en route to Con cord to attend the Cabarrus Re publican convention for the nomi nation of county officers which was held there today. While here Mr. Cowles expressed bis conviction that he would carry his district this year by 3,000 majority. He ceclared that the Eighth is in tine shape and that everything is ;mov ing along as well as could be desir ed. Mr. Cowlescarried his district las election by a majority of 1.375. His opponent this year is R. L. Doughton, David H. Blair For Congress. Greensboro, Aug. 20. David H Blair of Winston-Salem, census sup ervisor for the fifth district and faithful republican worker, was un animously nominated for congress today to succeed John M. Morehead, now state chairman, and to-, oppose Major Charles M. Stedman, the De mocratic nominee. - - " A Surprise Birthday. On Friday, Aug. 19th, the friends - and relatives of Mrs. Ada Atkinson met at her home in the beautiful little town of Farm ington. to give'; her a surprise birthday dinner. It was indeed a surprise to ner, for she never gave such a thing .a thought. The crowd gathered in the main part of the town and all came down the street together to her home. Very soon the home was full of cheerful faces, while the yard was full of merry children at play. At the hour of twelve a table was spread in the rear of the lawn which contained many good things to eat, When all were gathered about the table, Mr. T. F. Atkin son returned thanks, after which all be gin to quinch their hungry spirits. After every one had enjoyed the good things to eat, they gathered under the shade of the trehs and talked of the past. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we began to de part, leaving Mrs. Atkinson to, enjoy the many benutiful presents that were pre sented her on this occasion. There were about fifty persons present, among then were Grandma Sheek who, though more than eighty years of age, seemed ..en joy the occasion as though she . iwere but a child. We were sorry. that ' Mr. Ben Teagne was not feeling ; very well .and couldn't do justice to his part of the good dinner. Many . nice watermelons and good apple .cider were enjoyed. Every, one. we believe, enjoyed the 'day.l We wish for Mrs. Atkinson many more such , happy days.;, : vOne Present, .f " The health officer of -ithe towii of Mocksville should stroll down into the southern portion of the town some lovely evening, and get a sniff of the awful stench that floats heav enward from the abiding place of somevof the swine. . One trip would suffice. He could not be induced to return' again to the place from whence at first he fled. home as they were in a covered wagon. They started and got about a mile when it began to . pour. They thought they would grin and bear it, but when they ar rived at the turbid waters of Dutchman creek they found that it was swollen to the extent that they could not cross. So there was nothing to do but turn their faces again toward Mr. Boot's. They ar rived before the flood had - ceased, and looked as if they had been baptized. The boy who owned the turnout said he didn't mind getting wet so bad, but did hate for his new Nissen wagon to get wet. But he was not the only grief-stricken one, for there were three new buggies, and one of the boys got wet standing on the porch to see if the paint was going to wash off his buggy for it had only been out of Sears, Roebuck's factory about ten days. Anoth er one of the boys said next morning that some one had put a coat of white lead paint on his Duggy. nut wnen the sun came out it soon resumed its color. When the "baptists" were all shrouded in dry garments, every one discorded his melan choly looks and all became mirth and merriment, but this did not continue long for two of the boys had mysteriously dis appeared, and upon investigation it was learned they had gode to the bam to put up the horses. But why they stayed so long was what puzzled the crowd. After awhile those two boys came rowing up in a cornstalk canoe with wheat straw oars. They said they would not have broke the Sabbath by making their canoe, but they were afraid some of the boys would talk to their girls while they were waterbound at the bam. After their arrival all be came calm again, and we had some good music, both vocal and instrumental, and so ended the night. The next morning was cloudy and we were all having such a pleasant time that no one seemed in a hurry to start home, but bye and bye we all realized that we must return , to our homes which were in three counties, Ire dell, Yadkin and Davie. When the last one started Mr. Booe gave a sigh of re- tlief and said, "I have always heard that a calm followed a storm, and now we will experience a calm after a double storm." It is said that 13 is an unlucky number, and I believe it, for when the crowd start ed for Courtney they went way around tp a bridge for they knew they could not cross the ford, and when they reached the bridge it was a total wreck and ; they had to retrace their steps and -'go to the ford. They got across the ford in safty, and arrived home about 1 o'clock, and have not crossed Dutchman creek since, but they all say they had such a nice time that they are going back again, but hope they will not "get waterbound and have to impose on our estdemed friend, Mr. Booe. . One Present. Hooper the Nominee. Nashville, Tenn.. Aug. 16. Capt. Benjamin W. Hooper of New port, Cocke count; , was this after noon nominated for Governor of. Tennessee by the Republican State convention which assembled here at noon today. The name of Alfred A . Taylor of Washington county was the only other one presented to the convention and: immediately following the announcement of the result of the first ballot the nomi nation was made unanimous. The ballot stood, Hooper 382, 9 14; Taylor 201, 5-14. The convention also endorsed the candidacy of B. A.Kuloe, independent man, for Railroad Commissioner from west Tennessee. The independent State-wide pro hibition Democrats who have fought Governor M. R. Patterson every step oi nis official career are expected to support the ticket nom inated today as against the regular Democratic nominees, which in cludes Pattersou re election, and (he coining campaign promises to be one of vigor and bitterness. See No Such Consolation. , W see. some Democrats are tak ing great consolation over the -tact that Morebead is Butlei'd inanand that th is fact will, take the place of the snigger in politic87vve see no grtat consolation in this. As we see it,'Batler in politics in North Carolina means trouble and lots "of it foi the Democratic ' party. Ca" tawba County News. (Dem.) ; . J. The Lenoir News says that Rev. J. M.

He will leave for Boone the last of this week, Salisbury Win Banner. A. B. Saieeby. a prouiiueut Ka rats worker, at Salisbury, aeuds us the following facts, which, will be of much interest to the many mem bers of the World Wide Baraca Union in this State: "We wish to inform you that we received the Baraca Banner from the NatioDol Barac Convention, Marshall A. Hudson, President. This was given as a mark of appre ciation for the excellent work done by the Baraca Union of this city. We organized forty classes with a total membership of 2.000, this be ing more than any other class re ported in the Union. Mayor A. L. Smoot waa our representative at the convention which waa held recently at Jamestown, N. Y.n Every Sunday school in Davie cointy should have an enthusiastic Baraca class. There are eight or ten in the county, where there should be fifty. Anyone interest J ed in organizing a class would do well to write Mr. Saleeby, who will gladly render any assistance in his power. j It seems that when 'Johnson knocked Jeffries over the ropes be also knocked prize fighting in this conn ry out of existence. . j Silence I The instinct of modesty natural to every ww ii Jttn m great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases.
