LOCK AND DAM.

The fight made to secure the next
lock and dam at Marietta was also
fight for the improvement of the low
er river. The precedents were all in
favor of proceeding in regular order
from Pittsburg down. The United
States Engineer in charge, Major w.
II. BiXby, recommended that the next
lock and dam should be located at Ma
rletta, but Mr.. Dovener, of Wheeling,
being on the Rivers and Harbors com
mittee, secured reversal Of The en-
gineer decision and the committee
had dcided to locate the next lock and
dam at Wheeling. Then the lower riv-
er congressman, Berry, Shattuck and
VanVoornls and others, took up Mari
etta's cause and secured the insertion
of the appropriation of the Marietta
lock and dam along with that for
Wheeling. There is a reasonable GER
tainty now that the two locks and
dams, one at Wheeling and one at Ma
rietta, will be be un during the COM
ing summer.

Science. of which Keely claimed to

MORE SEWERS.

Owing to the progress of building
and the large number of houses that
have and are soon to be built in the
First Sewer District, something will
have to be done soon toward finishing
the sewer in that district This dis
trict includes all east of Fifth street
from Cutler to Greene streets, and east
OF South Fourth street between Greene
street and Ohio river. This should all
be completed before any more paving
in thai part of the city is contemplated
NEW BRIDGE.
We believe fine new bridge can be
built for not more than $4,000. The
revenue to build same can be derived
from the bridge tax levied by the
County Commissioners and by special
act of the Legislature, all of this tax
derived from the city of Marietta is
paid into the city treasury and has
been for number of years. There is
now in the city treasury over $1,000 to
the credit of this fund, and the present
levy will yield about $4,000 a year. The
sL...ute authorizes city to borrow
money in anticipation of revenue and
this can be done in this case without
increase in taxation.

Mr., {. |. SHUFORD
One of Hickory's Leading
and Progressive
Citizens.
A MAN AMONG MEN
He Springs from an Old and Excellent
Family and is a North CaroIinian
H.. Dill
by Birth.

Most men wait for an opportunity
4. l.. Shuford made his. He came from
IN old and excellent family which has
been well and fayoFably known in this
section for more than a hundred years.
He was born in Guilford county, thirty
six years ago. His eyes first opened TO
the light amid the storm of war. Still
young in years, he has reached point
in his business career which many men
do not attain after a life time Of toll.
Nor does he owe his striking success to
any adventurous circumstances, nor to
inherited wealth. His peculiar talents
and his restless unwearied energy have
placed him where he is. He blazed his
own path and fought his own fight.
Catawba College is his alma mater.
Soon after leaving that institution he
received an appointment in the revenue
service under Cleayeland. but resigned
in disgust when Harrison entered the
White House.
Having retired from the revenue SER
vice. he entered the mercantile business.
In this new field he was successful. But
the dominant forces Of his nature drove
him to 90 forward and enlarge the
sphere of his operations. In 1894 he
merged his retail establishment into n
wholesale shoe husiness--the pioneer en-
terprise of the kind in the State. He
soon built up nm extensive trade in
North Carolina and various other South
ern States. In place OF the small store
behind whose counters he stood and
measured dry goods by the yard, less
than fifteen years ago, now stands a
huge four-story brick building, strik-
ing and impressive object lesson of what
industry and capacity can accomplish.
In connection with his shoe business he
deals extensively in produce. During
this season he shipped to the MISSISSIPPI
pi planters alone forty carloads of peas.
He is now planning the erection of a
COTTON FACTORY. HE INVITES
CORRESPONDENCE from parties
who have experience in the business,
with a view to inducing them to locate In
Hickory. NO BETTER PLACE FOR
SUCH AN ENTERPRISE could be
found. Mr.. Shuford has always been a
Democrat without variableness nor
shadow Of turning. His theory is that
the Democratic party will always settle
within its own Zines all questions OF pol
icy wisely and we'll In 1896 he was
chairman Of the Democratic executive
committee of Hickory township and
greatly reduced the fusion majority.
During the last campaign he was chair
man Of the Doth Senatorial District
which comprises Lincoln, Catawba
Wilkes and AleXander-all white coun-
ties. The fusionists swept the district
in 1896 by more than 1900 majority.
ANY attempt to reverse this seemed hope
less. Mr.. Shnford brought to his I'M
promising task the same talent for or
ganization the same tireless zeal that
has won for him success in other fields
The fusionists laughed at the idea of de-
feat and talked Of two thousand MAORI

The business was founded eleven
Years ago and has steadily prospered
and grown. The plants are located in
the western part Of the city and cover
over two acres Of ground. The Flouring
mill is a model one and will compare
favorably with any in the State. The
building is a commodious two story
structure. 50x70 feet in dimensions and
covered and weather. boarded with cor
rugated iron, thus making it almost fire
proof
The equipment is absolutely modern,
consisting of four stands of rolls, four
wheat cleaners, flour packer, etc. The
capacity Of the plant is fifty barrels OF
flour per diem and 200 bushels of meal
They manufacture a superior quality OF
-four. The following well known ana
popular brands come from this mall:
Fancy Patent" a high grade hour;
Second Patent" or Peoples Choice {;
the next grade is called Royal The
popularity Of these brands may be seen,
when it is stated that they sell all the
flour that they are able to manufacture.

equipped with modern machinery, dry
kilns, dry sheds, ETC. The capacity OF
this plant is from eight to ten thousand
feet of lumber per diem. They manu-

these goods are always carried on hand

Mr.. j. 4. Whitner is a North Caro-
linian by birth having been born three
miles from Hickory in 1851. He was
reared and educated here, and is one of
it's self-made men, who began life as a

front by his energy and acumen. lie is

Der and logging interests and has few

try.
1t may be said in concluding the sketch
OF this highly progressive concern that
To just such plants, managed upon just
such a basis. North Carolina owes her
present excellent standing in the manu-
featuring world of the South. Its inn
portance to Hickory is vast, inasmuch as
it distributes in wages and various sup
ply purchases thousands of dollars AN
nually, which gradually finds its way
into the pockets of Hickory's mer.
chants.
1t gives life and brightness to a conf
munity, and in a measure its success
means success to the community.
Messrs. Hutton e. Bourbounais deserve
the greatest of prosperity and it is the
earnest and heartfelt wish of the writer
that the future may have in store for
them even greater things than the past.
With products that are of a standard
make. they have established a reputa-
tion that extends throughout the entire
section and as time rolls by it but serves
to increase and prosper the business.
AS in the past. so in the future, it is
the purpose of Messrs. Hutton & Bour-
bounais to regard their patrons not only
as customers. but likewise as friends.
