Hickory, N. C., July 31, 10.
 Editor ARGUS:
 This bright, beautiful Sabbath morning finds me on the upper piazza of the Huffrey, Hickory, N. c. A year ago today l was at the Hotel Jefferson, Birming- ham, Ala, then in charge of a Wynne, Ark, man, who shortly after that was shot by the hotel steward.
 Hickory is located on the Sails bury, Chattanooga and Memphis divisions of the Southern Rail- way, approximately seven hun dred miles from Memphis. Within an hour. number 36, di- rect from Memphis will pass, making connection at Salisbury with 36 from New Orleans. Just now the trains are crowded with people from almost every where fleeing to the mountains to es- cape the torrid heat of the pres ent season. But 1t never gets so progressively warm in this country as it does in your sec tion, the temperature rarely go- ing above ninety degrees.
 This country through here was settled by German people, a staid, conservative, religious folk of very superior character. Tom and Frank Dixon, Hoke Smith, ex-governor of Georgia, and others of strong intellect came from this section. The men who have gone out from here seem to have been more progressive than 
 the ones who remain behind. A new environment often brings out latent powers. No man can attain unto the best that is in him and remain at home. No community can grow to it's larg- est possibilities without an influx of new blood. Change is the order of life and of growth. Change indicates progress.
 Harry Jackson was a progress sive man, and when he died Brinkley lost a valuable citizen.

lie was a man or acClOn, anC
 was always doing something.
 He Twas underrated by those nearest to him, and his counse not considered. He was not head and shoulders above his fellows, but he bod ideas and he believed in progress. When he took charge of the dry goods de- partment of the old Mill Supply Company he introduced sales days. This innovation in Brink ley y'sibusiness life was suggestive of his desire to see things move. I, too, knew him in the time of diversity. He had .much to dis courage him, but he labored on. He was always cheerful, always thoughtful and always consider ate. He had one characteristic that few men have. He was al- ways thoug htful of the sick, and he never missed a funeral. Whenever it came to his ears that any one was i'll, he invari- ably called to see if he could be of any service. When a death occurred he was the first to render service at the home, and at the grave he was there to do what he could. If the attendance at the funeral of Harry Jackson was not the largest of any citi- zen who has died there in in re- cent years, it is an evidence that Brinkley did not appreciate the thoughtful, considerate unselfsh labors of this man. Harry well deserves the beautiful tribute you pay him.
 But I also knew his wife. We were children together, and l al- ways looked upon Lena as being one of the best women of Brink ley. I did not know her well in l later years, but was impressed l with the thought that she con- : sidered her first duty to be her home, her huband and her chil dren. And with all of our modern innovations arising out of the compleXity of a new civili- zation I can not believe that it is possible for woman to render humanity any higher or better service than that which is ren- dered in the home. Give us mothers and home-makerS. They are the safety of our country of any country.
