Ik i THIS PAPER ISSUED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Volume XV Lenoir. N. C. Friday, October 31, 1913 No. 103 f j is J I CALL TO THEPEOPLE IF I C. Rate and Insurance Condition are Not What they Should be in North Carolina. The work of the North Caro lina Just Freight Rate Associa tion is not ended. It has just begun. Already its good effects have been seen in what has been offered by the railroads and in what has been directed by the General Assembly. The call to the people of the State to attend a public meeting in Raleigh on next Thursday, issued by President Fred F. Tate, of the Just Freight Rate Association, is timely. He de clares that the Association should be maintained, that it has work yet to do, and clearly he sets this forth. It is a call for a purpose which should bring to the meeting represen tatives from every part of the State. In his call President Tate speaks of needed work to secure for North Carolina full consider ation in fire insurance matters. It is recognized that rates and insurance conditions in North Carolina are not what they should be, and there should be steps taken to remedy these matters which are a burden up on our people. The General Assembly has directed that a Commission should look into the matter, of tire insurance m North Carolina, and report to the next session of the General Assembly. The people of North Carolina can aid in making known conditions as they exist, and there is no better time to make a start at this .than right low. This is one matter which will come before the meeting next Thursday, and its impor tance is such that close attention is invited to it. United and co-operating, the people of North Carolina can so cure full relief from freight rate injustice and tire insurance in justice. Let the people stand shoulder to shoulder and they will be able to accomplish great things, for North Carolina. Raleigh News and Observer. Doctor Brooks, highly valued physician of this community, has done much toward improv ing the sanitary condition of our town, having the support of the mayor and aldermen who seem at last awake to the fact if this is to be a Mecca for health seekers it must be made a health resort by keeping the town clean and wholly sanitary in every respect. As a result of the contest for prizes for the prettiest yards, the following were adjudged successful con testants: Mrs. Clyde Hartley, tirst prize; Mrs. John Clure, second prize; and Mrs. Anse Critcher, third prize; among owners of gardens not entering the contest, but worthy of men tion were the following: Mrs. W. L. Holshouser, Mrs. Millard Hodges, Mrs. I. O. Rich, Mrs. W. P. Pendley, Mrs. Edwards, Miss Mordicaie, Mrs. Cordon, Mrs. N. J. Hartley, Mrs. E. 13, Ward, Mrs. H. C. Hayes, Mrs. Bougher, Mr. Elliott Danger- field and others; indeed mention might be made of the Parson's garden also, except that between weeds, frost and vandals it "came to grief" long before its owner returned from his vaca tion of 11 weeks. Watauga Democrat The special commission in all probability to be appointed by the governor in the intrastate railroad rate matter will be a MORRISON-TUTTUL On Wednesday at noon at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Haywood Tuttle, live miles west of Lenoir, their youngest daughter, Miss Rebec ca Grace, was married to Mr. Charlie T. Morrison, of Hickory, in the presence of a number of friends and relatives of the con tracting parties. Under a most lovely arch of Southern smilax and chrysanthemums, present ing a scene of rare beauty and fascination, the happy couple plighted their troth; the officiat ing minister being Rev. C. M. Pickens, pastor of the First Methodist church of Lenoir. To the strains of Mendlessohn's wedding march, proficiently ren dered by Mrs. Charles E. Cor pening, the bridal party entered the beautifully decorated parlor in the following order: Miss Susie Ward Hawkins of Danville, Va.. beautifully gown ed in pink messaline with a robe of crystals, carrying pink car nations, with Mr. Harry M. Whitener of Hickory; Miss Dora Elizabeth Tuttle, sister of the bride, as maid of honor, wearing a pretty gown of white messa line, drapH?d in shallow lace and carrying a large bouquet of white carnations, with Mr. John C. Morrison, of Reidsville, brother of the groom. Then came the matron of honor, Mrs. Sidney Arthur Davis of Green ville, S. C, becomingly gowned in white crepe meteor, draped in dewdrop net rhinestones, carry ing carnations. The bride en tered on the arm of the groom, and was handsomely attired in a pretty going-away suit of blue chevoit with hat to match. She carried a shower bouquet of car nations and lilliesofthe valley. During the ceremony, which was most impressive, the ring form being used, "Hearts and Flowers" was softly played. Immediately after the cert inony a delicious two course lunch was served to the bridal party and the invited guests. The display of presents which wer numerous and beautiful, attested to the iHpularity of the young couple. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison lelt tor Hickory in an automobile. Here they took the train for an extended wedding tour to New York and othei Northern cities. The bride is a member of out of the most prominent families of Caldwell County and is a cul tured, pretty and most affable young lady. The groom is a prominent business man of Hick ory, and is wen known in ijenoir. A correspondent writes us a letter beginning: We wish a little light on the financial ques tion. He s come to the right man. If there is anything on earth we are light on, it is fi nance. very important one. The legis lature did not fix intrastate rates but merely adopted a system of rates as suggestive and left the actual fixing of the rates, in case the roads complain, to a special commission to be ap pointed by the governor. The commission will pass upon each schedule and all classifications and tlx rates which shall be ef fective on all carriers for six months, after which the question mav be reopened and further adjustments made. However, should a rate as fixed by the commission appear to work an irreparable injury it is proba ble that the courts would not al low the six months' time limit to stand, but would order instant relief.

Mr. N. S. Dasher of Hickory manager of the Lenoir Electric Co., spent Tuesday and a part of Wednesday in Lenoir looking after the affairs of the company here. He left Wednesday morning in his car for Blowing Rock and Boone, where he is going to look into the proixsition of extend ing the telephone line which is now in operation from Lenoir to Blowing Rock, on to Boone. The distance the wire will have to be extended in order to reach Boone is only about ten miles, and can be done within a very short time, which will give us a connection by phone through to Boone. This will prove a great convenience not only to the peo ple along the present line, but to those living at and about Boone, as it will put them in closer touch with the outside world.

We trust a large attendance will be here to look after the matter of having a stock show in Lenoir during the Poultry Show in December. I his is a most worthy project and should receive the support of every cit izen whether they are stock raisers or not. It is one of the best things that could be got ten up for the advertising of the county, and will result in a irreat good to the farmers and people generally who are inter ested in such matters. BOLD BURGLARS. Morganton, Oct. 28. Two of the boldest burglars in Morgan ton's history were committed here last night' when the stores of 1. 1. Davis A Son and Press nell & Hogan were broken into and ransacked. These two stores are in the center of the business block on Main street and the work was evidently done by experts as at both places only very small openings were made in the glass of the windows at the rear of the stores, jtist large enougii to put a hand through and release the fasteners. At the Pressnell & Hogan store a large iron rod was pried off the window to allow entrance while at the Davis establishment the burglars used a ladder and made their entry at a second floor window. All tlie cash drawers in both tores were rifled, but little cash was secured, i he booty was confined for the most part to hoes and clothing. It is reiorted that at Glen Al pine practically all the stores were broken into a few rrights igo so it seems likely that a gang is working towns syste matically in this section. Meeting For Live Stock Show. All persons who are interested in having a Live Stock Show in Caldwell County during the oultry Show are requested to attend a meeting at the court louse on Monday, November 10th, to make arrangements for laving such a show.

Contribution can be sent to Dr. Levy, Char lotte, N. C. Boys with hats on the back of their heads and long hair hang ing down over their eyes ana cigaretts and very smutty sto ries in their foul mouths, are cheaper than old worn out work horses. Nobody wants them at any price. Men aon t employ them and sensible girls won't marry them. They are not worth their keeping to anybody and it is not likely that they will be able to keep themselves. If anybody should happen to read this who answers the above de scription, let him take a look at himself and jump in a well and say Here goes nothing- - v,x. Have you ever noticed that some of the broadest men are al so the shallowest? A woman can be said to be fading when she casts withering looks at the men. Almost any man will admit that he is liable to make mis takes except when he makes them. WITH TIE G9HRESP0NDEKTS. Items From Our Regular Corres pondents and Neighboring County Papers. GKAMTE FALLS. Granite Falls, Oct. 28. Miss Mamie Brinkley of route 1, died Thursday morning of consump tion. The Democrats should' take hold of Gov. Craig's road work ing scheme, because they are in power and chargeable with pub lic improvements. The Repub licans should work to show that they are as good as the Demo crats, The Progressives should work because no one can be pro gressive and not be for good roads. The Prohibitionists be cause if they don't want a man to wet his whistle they ought not to force him to wet his feet in a mud hole. The Socialists should work because they argue equality to all. and if there be any who do not belong to any of the above parties, he should work because it is his citizen's duty to do so. . The heavy rains of last week hindered the farmers very much with their seeding. Two of our farmers have rilled silos, H. C. Maekie and J. L. Hayes. The News seems to be getting right newsy of late.

The difference between court ship and matrimony is that one is mostly thrills and the other mostly bills. When a woman is in doubt about the trimmings of her hat she simply puts on a few more red flowers and fearers. Truth is stranger than fiction and it is certain that it is gener ally more embarrassing.
