OF KIND IN STATE
When the interior decorations of
the First National Bank were com
pleted last week, Hickory was able to
say with truth that this city had the
handsomest bank building in the state.
There are more costly and more im
posing buildings than the First Na
tional, but there is not a strictly
bank building anywhere in the state
that begins to mVure up to the local
institution in attractiveness and beau
ty. The artist's eye may be seen in
every line, figure, stone or column.

E SHOP TALK
ON THE FIRST ISSUE
Hundreds of Hickory people appear
ed to 'be 'r almost as interested in the
aptfj.nce of the Daily Record as
theJJIjbrce itself, judging by .the num
ber who called around at the office
just before press time. And this ij
to indulge in a little hyperbole most
likely, because a part of the force
wevked all night, and mo-CXof it has
pot 'in about eighteen hours a day
tor the last two days.
- s The new paper encountered the
usual difficulties. The up-to-date press
refused to deliver the goods last night,
until two or three pressmen had coax
ed it a bit, and it was early this
morning before the right sort of
persuasion was used. When the lit
tle fellow did get to going, however,
it hummed.
Outside of the rush of ads which
were gratefully received and which
everybody in the office hopes will
r.ever grow less the force got along
fairly well. The linotype has got the
right motion, and can turn out many
columns of new type a day. In a
few days at least everything will be
running smoothly.

was here yesterday.

Atlanta, Sept.: -tl. Pending the
holding of an anquest late this after
noon, officials took no action in the
death of Alf. C. Ford, as the result
of a .pistol bullet wound inflicted
Wednesday morning at his home. The
body was held today at a local under
takers, notwithstanding Mrs. Ford's
request that it be sent home early
today.
An examination of the weapon used
caused officials to doubt the state
ment made by Ford that the pistol
fired in his hand. It was said that
the trigger appeared to have been
snapped five times, and four cart
ridges ; failed to explode when struck
by the trigger. Mrs. Ford sobbing
ly reiterated that the shot was fired
by her husband shortly after he left
his sleeping porch and returned to
the house Wednesday morning.

and the North buildng was erected.
The school grew at such a rate that
it became necessary three years ago

the erection of the South building.

The schools have continued to grow
at such a remarkable rate that
another building will have to be erect
