THE GROWTH OF LENOIR.
Lumber Trade and Wood Making
Industries-Two Banks-Intellectual
and Moral
Culture.
To the Editor: Among the exeel
lent general accounts of the rapid
prog ree of North Carolina In indus
trial development, and the specially
floe "write-ups'' of the principal
towns, I have looked in vain for
something from Lenoir. And as pas
tor of one of the Lenoir churches,
and an occasional correepondeat of
the old Reliable," allow me to pre
sent a few facts Indicative of the
growth of this beautiful and buxom
"Mountain Queen."
Lenoir is the county site of Cald
well, one of the beet counties in the
western section of the State. It is
the northern terminus of the Caroli
na and Northwestern railway, and
the southern terminus of the Cald
well and Northern railroad. The for
mer runs from Chester, S. C, to Le
noir, and the latter from Lenoir to
Edgemont, about 23 miles north. The
C. and N. W. railway connects us
with the Southern at Hickory, and it
! hoped that the C. and N. will. In
the near future, be extended to But
ler, Tenu., and connecting there with
the Virginia and Sou thw intern, give
us a straight shoot to the coal fields
of Virginia.
As our railroads pierce a large seo-
tion of Virginia forests of both pine
and deciduous trees, you would nat
urally expect that the lumber busl
ness and wood working industries
would flourish here; and such is the
case. The trade in lumber is very
heavy.
Among the older lumber concerns,
we may mention the Harper Furni
ture Company, the Wilson Lumber
and Milling Company, and their box
factory, the Builders' Supply Compa
ny, the Lenoir Wood Working Com
pany, Conley Bros. Flouring Mill
Co., Lenoir Roller Mill Company.
Lenoir Cotton Mill Company, Lenoir
Lumber Company, Hutton & Iiur
bounais Lumber Company, Shakes"
peare & Watson Lumber Company,
The Globe Lumber Company. ;
In addition to these, the following
industries have been established dur-
ng the past twelve months: The
Moore Furniture Company, The
Kent Furniture and Coffin Company,
The Lenoir Veneering Company, The
Gwyu Veneer Company, The Coffey
Wagon Company, Tho Blue Ridge
Bobbin and Handle Company, The
Lenoir Steam Launday, The Citizens'
Light and Power Company, The
Hickory Grocery Company and The
Lenoir Grocery Company, both of
these wholesale houses, and the Le
noir Bottling Works. Nor must 1
forget that the new court house was
completed last year at a cost of
about $22,500.
Lenoir also boasts of two banks,
both sound and prosperous, a large
number of retail mercantile establish
ments.
But our chief pride lies in what we
are doing for the intellectual and
moral culture of our people our pe
riodlcals, our churches and our
schools. We have two weekly pa
pers the Lenoir Woekly News and
Lenoir Topic. Both are clean and
wholesome in tone.
The Methodists, the Presbyterians,
the Baptists, the German Reformed
and the Episcopal churches and the
Adventists, all have, their organiza
tions here: and all except the Utter
have neat church edifices.
Davenport Female college, a long
established school of fine record, has
recently taken ou new life. Not long
since a considerable addition was
made to its dormitory capacity, and
its facilities otherwise increased. Un
der the presidency of Dr. Charles C.
Weaver, a member of the Western
North Carolina Conference, and
Ph. D. of Johns Hopkins, this old
school is doing a fine work for the
brainy and brawny girls of this
mountain country.
The Weaver School, a private train
lug school for boys, with military
features, is a new enterprise but bids
fair to grow to large proportions. Its
president. Prof. Charles Anderson
Weaver, Is a man of the highest type,
and Is a regular "boy charmer.''
The Kirkwood Select School, under
the management of Miss Emma Ran
kin, an "eleot lady," of rare culture
and refinement, is well and favorably
known all over this section.
The Lenoir Academy, under thedi
reotlon of Rev. J. A. White, a Baptist
minister, la doing a great work for
the grand old Democratic church
And last, but not least, we must
mention our graded school, of which
we are all so proud. Out of a sohool
population of 700, there are actually
enrolled in the graded schools, white
and colored, about 700 children
Isn't thai a fine record? Of these 460
are lathe sohool for whites, and 260
In the oolored sohool.
Prof. WolU, the superintendent, Is
a great teacher and a great school
manager. . . y; ; " ;"'
To glye you some idea ot how rap
idly Lenoir k growing, I will ask you
to compare the population of 1900
with that of today; it was then 1,850,
it is now 1,009. The iaereeee for 1906
wae nearly 700..
The scenery here it entrancing, the
climate irigorating without severity,
the agricultural production varied
and abundant, the people refined,
bright, moral and religious; and all
in all. I do not know a better place
to live and die than Lenoir. God
bleat her! D. Vance Price in Newt
ft Observer.
The Breath of Life.
It's a significant fact that the
strongest animal of its site, the
gorilla, also hat the largest lungs.
Powerful lungs meant powerful
creatures. How to keep the breath
ing organs right should be man's
chiefest study. Like thousands of
others, Mrs. Ora A. Stephens, of Port
Williams, O., has learned how to do
this. She writes: "Three bottles of
Dr. King's New Discovery stopped
my cough of two years and cured
me of what my friends thought con
sumption. O, its grand for throat
and lung troubles." Guaranteed by

Government Care Of Confederate
!
Graves.
The President has signed the Fora
ker bill, and 89,000 Confederate graves
in the North will be provided with
marble headstones, and the grounds
holding those graves will be fenced
and protected from animals aud un
warranted intrusion. The Birming
ham Age-Herald says that the Fora
ker bill by no means meets the views
of Congressman Underwood, of Ala
bama, who was greatly Interested in
the matter ot caring for the graves of
those who fell In defense of the South.
According to the paper quoted, the
Alabama Repreeenative looks upon
the civil war as he does the War of
the Roses in English history. Those
wars, too, were civil wars, and the
English people booh ceased to dis
criminate between the men who won
aud the men who lost. Mr. Under
wood, as we understand It, desired
that the government undertake the
marking of graves of Confederate sol
diers who fell in battle in whatever
section, while the Foraker measure
limits the ereotion of headBtones to
those graves located in the North.
The Alabamian's view of the civij
war Is doubtless the proper one, and
the glory of both sides is the com
raon heritage of the Americans: but
we Question whether any of us are
really willing to so regard it. Few,
if any, of wo Southerners are enabled
to glory in the achievements of any
of the Federal soldieis in the late war,
and certainly we are not more preju
diced than those on the other side
This is one united country and so
far as the present and the future are
concerned this section is as patriotic
any other, but time alone can
wipe out all feeling. This being true,
the matter of the government care
of the graves of our soldiers should
be voluntary. In other words, while
it is no more than right that the
graves of ex-Confederates be marked
at government expense, it should be
done without special effort on thepart
of our Representatives in Congress,
and without objection, especially of
a captious character, to what is done
Representative Underwood is out of
order. Charlotte Observer.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by
nflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustach'an Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling Bound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, aud unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hull's Catarrh Cure. Send for olr
culnrs, free.

Todr Tender Mercies.
In one of oar large eltiee, last sum
mer, a policeman making hit roand
at midnight, found a dying man ly
ing at the foot of a stairway in a
building need for offieee and club
room. The man was suffering in
tense pain, groaning in agony, and
before be could arrive at a hospital
he died la the ambulance. The am
bulance doctor said that it waa heart
dikeae, and It wa supposed at first
that the man bad been taken ill in
the street and staggered into the en
trance for shelter. But later the
truth came out. The man turned
out to be a well-known gambler.
With several others, he had been
gambling in a room upstair. Sud
denly he waa "taken ill. The other
men were too much Interested In
their game to spare time to call a doc
tor. They decided, also, that it might
expooe their gambling to the author
ities, s that arrest would follow. So
they took their comrade, suffering,
helpless and dying as he was, car
ried biiu in a hurry to the stair foot,
left him to die and went back to
their gambling without losing a min
ute.
"The tender mercies of the wicked
cruel," hit off this modern incident
as well as if written yesterday. Many
young men and women ignorantly
believe in the warmth and perma
nence of what they call "good fellow
ship." The friendship of the reck
less and evil seems to them franker
and deeper than church fellowship
bad company is the most shallow and
treacherous thing In the world, Ev
ery lawyer knows how promptly the
criminal will betray his fellowi to
gain himself any real advantage. The
promises of evil men are useless to
lean upon, as thousands of duped
victims have found to their cost. The
friendship of the good is the only
kind worth having. The tender mer
cies of wicked companions are cruel;
and the dying man in the lonely
stairway is only one of those who
have found it out too late. Selected,

All of these diseases are attended

ustantly releived by applying Cham

use a permanent cure may be effected.
It has, in fact, cured many cases that
had resisted all other treatment.

Good Roads.
To The Editor of Tun Nkws.
I saw in the News you wanted to
hear from sone one else concerning
roads. I have worked 208 days free
labor on public roads within the last
27 years and now I would love to see
them kept ap by taxes. The farmers,
what few there is, cannot raise grain
enough for the county and keep up
the roads for the lumber haulers. As
a general thing, the mill hands do not
work roads. If roads were kept up
by taxes we would all fare ailke and
men would not have to go so far to
work roads. I have known hands to
have to go from Rocky Knob to
Collettsvllle, a distance of 18 miles,
also the same hands had to go to
Sidlinghill, a distance of 13 miles, so 1
think all hands that had to go as far
as the Rocky Knob hands and do as
much work as they did, would be in
favor of taxes.
I heard today that we would be
notified to go a distant of 8 miles to
work on a road leading from Sam
Bentley's to the Yonnahlossee Turn
pike, it would be better for me to
pay $5.00 tax a year. If we had taxes,
of 45 cents on the poll aud 15 cents
on the $100 worth of property in
Caldwell County, it would be plenty
to jrive us good roads in two years if
it was in the right man's hands.
I think we ought to have a chain
gang in Caldwell County and those
that will not pay their taxes be put
on the road until they paid them,
and instead of putting men in prison
put them on the chain gang.
