nUNIClPAL POLITICS.
Tbe election for Mayor and
Aldermen in Hickory is attracting
attention. Mayor E. B. Cline,
who Las made a jrood Mayor,
goes out. Aldermen A. Y. Sig
mon, J. T) Elliott and J. W,
Shuford go out, while Aldermen
O. M Royster, John C. Martin
and A. A. Shuford hold over. It
appears as if it would be a very
interesting race. The ever pres
ent liquor question is very much
in the front, as well as rear. In
fact, it is the only issue, it seems.
A DIFFERENCE.
.
Mr. Barrington, who has been
in our town for a couple of weeks
selling the ''county right" for a
patent coffee pot, left Monday.
The 'right" was bought by Messrs
Horace Payne and Jim Wilson.
They will put the pot on the
market at once. Morganton Jtler
ald 4th. Y
That is right my boys. But do
not let them put the market on
the pot.
The decision of the Supreme
Court in the income tax cases is
disappointing to everybody, and
probably to nobody more than to
members of the court. The con
stitutionality of the law stands,
not by an affirmative decision, but
because the eight justices sitting
were evenly ' divided. Incomes
from rents, municipal and State
bonds are exempted from the tax.
But what most disappointed the
members of the court was the
stealing of a copy of the decision
in advance of its being officially
made. It was sold to the corres
pondent of a Chicago paper and
telegraphed to that city. The de
cision will make lots of worry and
litigation for the government, but
Secretary Carlisle is very positive
that it will not make necessary
the calling of an extra session of
Congress, although the exceptions
will probably reduce the receipts
from the income tax at least one
half. But even if not a nickel
was received from that source by
the Treasury, Secretary Carlisle
says there will be money enough
and to spare to carry the govern
ment until the regular session of
Congress without any embarrass
ment. The new Ambassador from
Spain to the United States has
performed the discourteous feat
of coming from Spain to this
country via Cuba a small Island
to the immediate outh Qf
country which was iu the effete
and still is in the present days
controlled as a vassal or slave by
Spain. There is a little of the
"offensive partisanship" business
in the proceeding as it were.
Our friend Dr. John Tull of
Morganton the Druggist, informs
the people and a few others in the
last issue of the Herald that he is
not and will not bo a candidate
for Mayor. or Commisioner of that
city at the next election as he has
held the offices and knows what
he is talking about when he says
he does not want them.
"We want to see who are Demo
crats and who are not. Let the
genuine Democrats remain in the
trenches. The time Servers and
pap suckers or would be such,
must show their faith by their
good works. Let them get back
in the trenches amongDemocrats
The Commerciul Union of Chi
cago, a first rate publication, says
in its issue last week: M. A.
Kirchmer, a newspaper man well
known throughout north western
Ohio and Indiana, committed sui
cide by shooting at Defiance
Ohio.'
That is the Jast town in the
world to shoot at; but then if a
newspaper man or any one else,
is bound to buck . against rock
ribbed barrieis old Defiance
Ohio., is as good a place as any.
Jenks: "What has become of
that fine hen of yours?
Mr. deSalol: Did you see that
"ad" in the paper about thai fine
egg laying hen food?
Jenks: Yes I think I did.
Mr. deSalol: I gh'o some of it
to that hen and she dried up,
went away. Laid herself to death.
No more egg food for me.
Jenks: Was he a sinner?
Mr. deSalol:-No. Why?
Jenks: Just thought I would
ax.
Claremoat Cnmmencemrnt.
The coining Commencement of Clare
niont College promises to bo a very in
teresting occasion, judging from the
program which is being prepared.
On Sunday night, May 12, the An
nual Sermon will be preached in the
Reformed church, by the Rev. James
A. Weston, Rector of the Church of
the Ascension. Rev. Weston is a very
scholarly gentleman, and will, doubt
less, deliver an able discourse.
The primary school will trive an en
tertainment May 13th. The annual
concert will be held on the night of
the 10th. The senior class exercises
will be held on the night of the 17th.
Mr. Charles F. McKesson will deliv
er the literary address. Those who
know Mr. McKesson, know that he is
one of the State's most polished ora
tors. Hickory Dispensary Law.
What will it do for Hickory? These
are the questions that are being asked
by pur people. I, deem it to be my
duty to advise them as follows:
There are four things it will surely
accomplish; the first being that of
solving the troublesome whisky ques
tion in Hickory.
2nd. It will place a large revenue in
the city Treasury.
3rd. It will supply a convenience to
all persons who desire to have liquors
or spirits of any kind for medicinal or
other purposes.
4th. It will superinduce the bring
ing about of Hickory as the best and
most progressive city in Western
North Carolina. In addition to these
a great many other good results may
be obtained by adopting the Dispensa
ry law now before the people for their
action. We must remember that
values. and prosperity fast diminish
without nourishment. All those who
look can see that Hickory is somewhat
wanting in this direction. I have pro
vided the method for bringing about &
wholesome change for the restoration
of prosperity and invite our good
people of this community to adopt it.
Respectfully,
A. Y. Siqmox.

CicmrtteNot The Cause.
Editor Prks asd Carolinian:
lu your last week's issue you mention
ed that I had lost my barn by fire,
which was a fact; and that it was
caused by one of my boys throwing
down a cigarette, which was not cor
rect: The boys had not been out at the
farm for I don't know how long. Tid,
the one that was there with me does
not smoke. Yours

The Ladies' Aid Society of the Re
formed Church will give a
CONUNDRUM SUPPER
IN ELLIOTT BUILDING,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1895.
The price of tickets is 1 cent. Why
the price has been fixed at such an odd
figure is one conundrum for .you to
solve, but we have 22 conundrums on
the bill of fare, the solution of which
is a great deal more interesting.
Come, apply your sense of wit to the
bill of fare, and you will find eating
conundrums to be very enjoyable.
Supper from G:30 to 10 o'clock.
Respectfully yours.

The Marion Record is now owned
entirely by Mr. J. CLinney, who is
sole editor and proprietor.
The news reached here last Tuesday
that Mr. D. J. Hicks and Miss Estelle
Kincaid. both of Morganton, were
married in Baltimore last Sunday at
10 o'clock a. m. The news was rather
sudden, though it was no surprise to
many of our people.
The big land suit of Bernhardt and
others against Brown, involving the
title to sixteen thousand acres of land
in the South Mountains of Burke
county, was continued last week on
motion of the defendant Jor the ab
sence of an important witness.
Our talented townsman Mr. C. F.
McKesson is very much in demand as
commencement orator this year. He
has already accepted invitations to de
liver the literary address at Moravian
Falls academy on May 10th; at Clare
mont college, Hickory, on May 18th,
and at Newberry college, Newberry,
S. C, on June 18th.
The celebrated case of ' Sprague
against Bond, which has been in the
courts so long that it has become al
most as famous as Jarndice vs. Jam-
dice, has at last , been compromised,
the defendant paving the plaintiff
$2o00, and each party paying half the
cost.
Mr. Williams. Harvey, of Philadel
phia president of the Caldwell and
Nothern IL R Co., has taken a deep
interest in the Waldenses, and spent
last Saturday in Morganton buying
seed potatoes and farm and garden
tools for th colonists. Mr. Harvey
spent Sunday at Valdese.
The State Hospital here has a splen
did fire department- It is composed
of about twenty men, a hose reel, a
hook and Ladder truck, with all the
necessary buckets, hooks, ladder, etc
It is a fine body of men, and one that
is cabbie of doinj good work.

The Bridgwater Farms.
The farm on Catawba river, called
the Hyatt farm, at Bridgewattr which
is offered for sale, does not comprise
the "fish ponds" as we are advised
some good people have supposed, but
it does embrace a half mile or more of,
the Catawba river and spawning
shoals for Moulett and good fishing.
Thi reminds us to say: These farms,
thirteen settlements in number, cov
ering about four thousand six hun
dred acres, are all primal, or more so
than other lands in the State; and
were covered or Patented and owned
by John Rutherford Senior and by
him and through him to his children
to the late John Rutherford Junior,
who himself originally purchased
much of these lands. The late John
Rutherford Junior died ir 18S0 at the
age of ninety one years, leaving all his
property to Uis wife who is now Mrs.
31. E. Thornton. There are Grants,
among tho deeds, from King George
the Third. They are very rare and
indeed very inteesting documents.
The seals on some of them have nearly
aquater of a pound of beeswax at
tached on which is the seal. One of
the old Grants from the State was to
the fat her of the late Zebulon B. Vance,
who was a sort of land surveyor in
that section. The Indians had a town
on the bottom land at the bend in the
river above-Bridgewater;and no doubt
some of .those Indians are the ones who
came down in this section and gave
our old friend and early pioneer set
tler (whose History the Press and
Carolinian has now on sale at 15 cts.
per copy.) Henry AVeidner so much
trouble in painting his big tree red.
No: The whole of Bridgewater nor
the fish ponds are not for sale. Only
the farns mentioned. But the pur
chaser can fish in the ponds once in a
while, or that is, occasional! j .
A DISREPUTABLE PRACTICE
which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them imitations for
the real Simmons Lier Regu
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation ; and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Lfcer Reg
ulator which is the "King of
Liver Medicines,,, because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that ycu get
