Editor Wm. F. Marshall of tho
Gazette of Gastonia, N. C- has
been promoted by the. President
to be a Presidential Postmaster;
he having1 just been nominated
for that office to succeed himself
as a 4tb class Postmaster.
The person who figures with
such great assiduity as "knowing
more about these Dutch people
than we do and who is or was or
ainV a "business man," can
"gnaw at srnats" and "swallow his
files;" this is the last file of our
paper he can filo on.
The astute editor of the New
ton Enterprise says he had occa
sion during the last campaign
to have several r'confereuces with
numbers of leadiug Democrats"
about the conduct of the cam
paign. Ah, ha! You old "con
ference" editor! That is the way
you got the Democrats beaten in
the last election, is it? You just
hereafter cease having occasion
to hold any such "conferences."
The decissiou of the United
States Supreme' Court on the
question of the constitutionality
of tho Income Tax is very fine
reading. How long will it be be
fore Legislators -can be got to
gether who themselves already
know the theu existing laws -constitutional
and also statutory?
Fine Republic! Ado pt some means
to let the people know the law.
Has the clerk or clerks in th
late General Assembly of N. C,
committed a forgery as well as a
cheating swindle and fraud on the
State and on tho people? Get at
him. What sort of man does it
take to do this kind of business.
He ought to be in the Pea- The
announcement is now positively
made that the bill was not Enroll
ed in tho House and did not even
get to the Senate.
A certain class of people of a
oertain class are all the time talk
ing about Sound" money, what
do they mean by it? Gold sems
to be the most unsound of all the
money's and yet sometimes thee
deluded people speak of gold as
being ''sound" money. All money
is "sound." Especially any mon
ey that has the right "gingle" to
it: The "sound" money on a
gold basis brings low prices. Are
you for it? No.
"Messrs J. C. Liuney and O. E.
Crowson, who recently became
the editors and proprietors of the
Marion Record have at once
brought that valuable County
newspaper nto very considera
ble prominence as such. It may
be that wo have a partiality for
Burke count- and McDowell
county newspapers, but as soon
as we get them they are the first
ones we read. We like to
see them filled with news,
brilliant editorials and well up to
tho high water mark with "ads"
-at the regular rates.
.The. General discontent of the
peple coupled with the depres
sion iu business and the conse
quent or other quent in low
prices for every commodity in
life which the farmer and the
laboring man produces induces us
to say that Colonel Discontent has
got on top aud now' it is a square
outfight between General Discon
tent and Colonel Discontent aided
by absolute Universal Dissatisfac
tion which leads to actual Uphea
val and a few more disastrous
cousequeneies. We riray how
ever for peace when- there is no
peace. .

There is r ought to be a change
iu times a.s times change. If
Man were to do today what he
did yesterdaj' ho would always be
ding the r-anjM thiug, and time
would b no change. TIm? peo. j
pie of Hickory huvt tried th
"bridle off" politics in municipal
elections and they have found it j
not to work well; found it to be j
like poor old Ben Wade when he
was Speaker of the National
House of Representatives and j
was weighed wanting. There is
no reason why it should not be
the case and there is every rea
son why it should be the case
that thetest for fitness for office
should be gauged by the Demo
cratic standard.
If the Democrats cannot win on
principle and on that line be heh1
responsible for the government
of the city's affairs they ought to
lose it .vnd let those who can be
made responsible win the election.
We are in it for a straight-out
Democratic ticket for Mayor and
Aldermen of Hickory at the next
election and intend to run a tick
et. We. shall then see who is
who, and who ain't who- The
majority must win. The candi
dates will be published .in our
next issue. The Democrats are
more liberal than any others and
our friends the enemy .can, while
the lamps hold out to burn, mako
up their minds and get in the'
Democratic trenches.

From a letter written by Itev. J.
(iundennan, of Dimondalc, Mich., we
are" permitted to make this extract:
tkI have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re
suits were almost marvelous in the
case of my wife. While 1 was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion she was brought down with Pneu
monia succeeding La Grippe. Ter
rible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and
it Keemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discovery; it was quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in
results." Trial bottles free at O. M.

There will be a decided change
in affairs in Hickory in Municipal,

cles after the next Municipal elec
tion,which occurs on the 1st Mon
day in May shine or rain. Some
body is going to be"upsot," so we
have heard. How, we don't know.

While walking along Third street one
day a reply made by a youngster set a
reporter to thinking what a strange
mixture a street gamin is.
The rain was coming down in perfect
torrents. The umbrella tho newsman
carried afforded little protection, and
before him walked this youngster of 10
or 12 perfectly unconcerned.
Thinking to do him a kindness, tho
reporter asked if ho was going in his
direction and invited him to come mid
get out of the wet under his nmbrella.
The fellow stopped, and sticking his
hands deep within the pockets of his
ragged trousers looked up. Tho rain
slowly trickled down his cheeks, seem
ing like tears. . His lips were blue with
cold, but with as solemn a face as a
child of his years could put on he re
plied: "Say, dus yese take me fur a dude?

Tho card sharp had swallowed a fish
bono and was about choking to death
when the physician reached him. In a
very short timo the physician had tho
bono out, and tho sharp was all right
again. -
"How much do I owe you?" he asked
gratefully.
"Ten dollars," replied the physician
without the sign of a blush.-
"Great Scot, man I" exclaimed the
sharp. "You weren't working a min
ute. That's an enormous price to
charge."
"My dear sir," responded the physi
cian, with professional dignity, "that
is not tho way to look at it You must
consider the years of practice necessary
to acquire my skill. "
Tho sharp kicked, but it did no good,
and he had to pay the bill.
Several weeks later tho sharp, look
ing like a heavy swell, was on a train
out of the city, aud the doctor was in
tho same car, but he did not recognize
his former patient Tho sharp was
working several of his littlo tricks with
tho boards, and he finally roped in tho
doctor. He manipulated him carefully
for some time and at last landed him
for $23.
"Here, here!" shouted tho doctor
when he saw his roll disappear. "You
haven't given mo any show at alh You
got that money out cf me by a simplo
twist of tho wrist"
"My dear sir, " responded tho sharp
soothingly, "that's no way to look at it.
You should consider the years cf prac
tice necessary to acquire my skilL"
Something at this moment reminded
the doctor, and ho looked tho sharp over
curiously. Then ho smiled faintly and
blushed.
