MONDAY EVENING,
OCTOBER 4, 1915.
A WORTHY INSTITUTION.
The Record today is calling especial
attention to the Catawba County Fair
to be held here November 3, 4 and 5,
and is carrying other information
which will be of interest to that large
number of people who will come here
for the event. The Catawba County
Fair is a home enterprise, is con
ducted by Catawba folks for the bene
fit and advancement of Catawba peo
ple. It is worthy of support.
For the benefit of those wno nave
not been subscribers of the Record
and who have not been keeping up
with the progress of the fair, it is well
to state here that in addition to the ex
hibits and usual attractions the man
agement has secured an aeroplane to
make two flights a day for the entire
three days.
The first day will be given over
to those who have returned home
Home-Coming Day it has been called.
On that day there will be a grand
street parade in which the various or
ganizations of the city and county
will participate. An attractive fea
ture of the parade will be the deco
rated automobiles. Prizes will be
offered for the prettiest floats two
sets of prizes being offered, one set
for the county and another for the
city.
The other days will be observed as
Educational Day and Livestock Day.
The fair will be worthy of support
in every way.
GERMANS ESTABLISH
SYSTEM
POUND
DOLLAR DAY NUMBER.
Although Dollar Day will not be ob
served in Hickory until Thursday, Oc
tober 7, the Record today is publish
ing the announcements of the mer
chants and other business men who
have messages to carry to thousands
of people in Hickory, Catawba county
and this section. That each of these
advertisements will be read carefully
and that there will be a great crowd
of people here Thursday to take ad
vantage of the unusual values to be
offered, this paper has not the slight
est doubt.
The Record is confident this will be
the case for two reasons. The first is
that the values to be offered Thurs
day are so unusual and so attractive
as to appeal to thousands. The sec
ond reason is that the people read the
advertisements appearing in the Re
cord. They read these advertisements
because they want to know what is
being offered by the mercantile
world, because the advertisements are
attractively written and artistically
displayed. Another reason they are
read is because they are changed fre
quently and if we may be permitted
to say so because they appear daily
in a live, newsy paper.
The Record on behalf of the enter
prising merchants of this city extends
a cordial welcome to everybody in
this entire community. It would sug
gest in this connection that every man
and woman, whether living in the city
or country, have his money ready to
pay for the values that will be offered
for the one day only. There will be
a crowd in Hickory Thursday, the
merchants will be rushed, and in or
der to expedite business, it will be
necessary for the buying public to co
operate as much as possible in order
to avoid confusion.
The Record knows that Hickory
merchants are offering unusual values.
Come prepared to take advantage of
this opportunity. Know what you
want, secure it promptly, pass on
from one store to another, and help
make Dollar Day the success it de
serves to be made.
When Col. Fred A. Olds of Raleigh
learned that the Record needed some
of the good feature stories he can
write so well, he promptly sent this
paper a series of entertaining articles.
We suppose everybody in the state is
acquainted with Colonel Olds. There
is not a gentler, nobler soul in exis
tence and it is always a joy to him to
be of service. The Record is intro
ducing him today to its readers. He
! is well worth knowing if indeed any
body in North Carolina does not know
him.
Lodz, Poland, Oct. 4. Great
changes in methods of municipal ad
ministration have been made here and
generally in the occupied Polish cities
bv the German military administra
tion. The occupation found the cities
existing, so far as communal govern
ment is concerned, under conditions
much like those in France and Prussia
under the so-called "ancient regime
of more than a century ago.
The so-called "citizens' committees,"
which were in some cities, appointed
by the retreating Russians to take
the places of the Russian officials who
had departed, and in other cities were
appointed on the initiative of the in
habitants, did good work, but were
hampered by the lack of a solid
foundation on which to build. The
Germans, therefore, as soon as it be
came possible to do so, reorganized
the whole system of municipal admin
istration. This reorganization has been based
on the municipal plan of Baron von
Stein, which has for more than a
century been the basis on which Prus
sian municipalities have been admin
istered. The reorganization of the fi
nances has been based on the plans of
von Miquel, from 1890 to 1901 Prus
sian minister of finance. The cities
are governed by a magistracv and
I aldermen, appointed from the citizens
by the German authorities. The Poles,
as the most numerous race occupy a
! majority of these positions, but Jews
: so far as possition and capacity pei-
mit, have also been appointed. Uer
' man residents have naturally also
' been given places in proportion to
j their numbers and economic impor
j tance.
I The cities enjoy corporate rights
i which were denied to them under the
I Russian rule and can issue loans, ac-
quire property, impose taxes, and in
! brief, do all things necessary to the
proper development ot a city.
EVERYTHING HIGH CLASS.
If you do not happen to be a regu
lar reader of The Hickory Daily Re
cord, you should make it a point to
subscribe today. The paper is a
member of the Associated Press,
prints reliable news, is carefully edi
ted and will be sent to any address
in the United States. One might in
vest a dollar or two in the Record
and never regret it.
The Charlotte Observer is leading
the movement for rotation in office.
Some of the brethren have been in a
long time, but they have not been in
any longer than the fellows who are
crying to succeed them would like to
linger in Raleigh. It is human na
ture to want to hold on to a good
thing.
While we are ready to accept as

With Robinson's Famous Shows.
Observant people will note that ev
erything about Robinson's Famous
Shows bears the stamp of super-excellence.
The special trains of palace
cars owned by this show are the fin
est ever built for the purpose. You
will see them unload the handsomest
lot of horses that ever delighted the
ons, chariots, cages, etc., are beautiful
speciments of handiwork from the
world's best builders. Note the har
ness, trapings and paraphernalia, the
costumes, decorations and accessories
in every detail and you will see artis
tic excellence, care and lavish disre
gard of cost in order that their patrons
may have the best. You will note
that the people are all wrell-dressed
ladies and gentlemen, clean, courte
ous and distinguished in appearance,
as befits the character of the exhibi
tion of which they are proud to be
servants. All these things mean some
thing, and you whot patronize these
shows will observe that this high qual
ity pervades the entire institution,
down to the smallest detail. It is
upon this principle that has been built
up the reputation of the Robinson Fa
mous Shows.
Two exhibitions will be given at
Hickory, October 14.
See the street parade. Doors open
at 1 and 7; performances begin one
hour later.
FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
The governor of North Carolina and
the state superintendent of public in
struction are cooperating with the
state insurance commissiner in his
efforts to see that Fire Prevention
Day, prescribed for October 9 by law,
is made the object lesson intended for
it. The fire loss in North Carolina
is more than $3,000,000 and this trib
ute, which is heavier than any other
kind of taxes, is paid by the people of
the state. The insurance companies
are the agents who assess persons who
insure their property, and collect the
premiums annually. The insurance
companies are not responsible for the
fire loss.
Hickory has been unusually fortu
mate in fire prevention. It is seldom
that the large motor truck is called
into service, and for this the commu
nity has cause to be thankful. Noth

perous, a worse reputation than to be

The Record acknowledges receipt of
the Turner-Ennis Almanac, the stan
dard weather vane for the eastern part
of the state. The almanac has been
made more interesting since it was
taken over by the Raleigh Times.

Fire prevention should apply to the
country as well as the town. Are the
boys careless with matches ? Is there
an accumulation of rubbish at an ex

been cleaned properly against the re

insured, and that is all the more rea
son why precautions against fire
