THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. OFFICE Second Story Angel Building, Main St. Entered atthePostoffice in Mocks ville. N. C, as Second-class Mail matter, March 3. 1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION? One Year, in Advance 50c Six Months, in Advance 25c WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 16. 1910 Have you heard the news from Nebraska? We want some permanent side walks in Mocksville. We are giving our readers eight pages today instead of four. The latest returns indicate that Wilkes county went Kepuoncan. mad about it, and they will likely recover. We UOn L H.I1UW IJUW lb , and we won't waste two or three columns trying to explain. W. C. Hammer has been re-elect ed Solicitor in this district. Repub licans are responsible for it. Of course Davie elected every Re publican on the ticket by majorities ranging from 69 to nearly 300. The Democratic brethren captured Dearly everything in sight that wasn't nailed dowi, and scratched like ev erything for even that. : Our Republican rooster is not so well as he was last week, but we are doctoring him up, and hope he will fully recover by 1912. The State-Dispatch, at Burlington is taking the late unpleasantness too much to heart. Cheer up, brother, we will smite them in 1912. The Lincoln Times is groaning be cause it has no cut of a sick rooster. . We have one, brother, but he is too ill to be sent away from our office FUND IS GROWING. MANY PEOPLE CONTRIBUTING. We want a good correspondent at every village, town and postoffice in the county. We would be glad to hear from all our old correspondents. The Republicans have the United States Senate and the President, while the Democrats have captured Congress. Keep your eyes open and watch the fun. Forsyth and Davidson counties are somewhat mixed up, and the boy a don't seem to know which vray to yell. The Republicans got nearly everything in Forsyth, while it wes divided up more evenly in Davidson. The Record proposes to devote its lime and space for the next twenty months to building up the town and county. No political articles of ar.y character are wanted. There is a time for everything, and the time for talking politics is over for neaily two years. . Since the smoke of battle has cleared away, we find that there are something like twenty counties which have gone Republican. In a num ber of Democratic counties the Re publicans have made big gains, while in other counties they have lost very heavily. Page defeated Parker in this district for Congress by about .3,000 majority. Things are bad e nough, but, by gings, they could be worse. " Hickory Gets The Shops. The Chester lantern has let the eat out ot the bag. General Man ager Nichols has recommended to President llaiber that the new shops of the Carolina & North WeBteru Railroad be located at Hickory. Mr. Nichols recommen dation will be no doubt approved. In this action, Mr. Nichols was guided solely by business reasons, lie found that the advantages of Hickory as a shop location were geographically and commercially of more advantage than any other location suggested and the big wood working &hnp that will prove .fjf invaluable aid iu the rapid con struction of the shops. Mr. Nich t) told The Chronicle that the ijiickory shops will be completed And ready for business next spring. To do that will require energetic york. but all plan to that end have been .made. Thd acquisition of these shops will be a big boost to Hickory and congratulations for that town are in order.. Charlotte Ohroujete. The New Sidewalk Seems to be a Cer tainty. If You Have Not Con tributed, Do So At Once. The fund which The Record is try ingto raise to build a concrete side walk from the Wasonic Temple to Baity's corner, is growing. A num ber of the citizens of the town have contributed to this fund, and we ex pect many more to do so within the next few days. It is thought that if the citizens of the town and county will raise enough money to put down this sidewalk, that the town will put a concrete walk on the east side of the old court house. We know that one improvement will go a long way toward getting others. We want every man who is interested in the town of Mocksville, to contribute to this fund, it makes no difference where you live. Give something, if it is only tep cents. This sidewalk is needed, and needed badly. In winter the streets are so bad across the square that a lady can hardly get from one part of the town to the other, and many men break the ten commandments while trying to get across. The editor of this paper doesn't own a foot of ground in the town or county, but he wants to see this improvement made. It is every one's duty, as well as his privilege, to contribute to this fund. We want the ladies of the town to assist us in this great work. Tell your husband, father, brother or sweetheart to get his name on the list of contributors. Please call at our office, or drop us a card, stating how much you will give. Up to yesterday morning the following amounts had been sub scribed. Is your name written here: The Davie Record W. A.
