AN AUDITORIUM
NOW NECESSARY

There has been more or less agitation of
late regarding building TO accommodate
large gatherings, conventions, and so on.
Such a place could be erected in some
suitable location, easily accessible, at
very small cost, and HendersonvllIe would
then be in position to make strong bid
for conventions of any kind. We have
unsurpassed hotel accommodations, and
our other advantages are too well and too
widely known to need repeating here.
What we do lack is building large enough
to properly house very large gathering,
and the time is now ripe for the agitation of
such q project. The auditorium could be
built, it is suggested, on the side of hill,
open at the sides, with great raised plat
form at one end. 1t being open at the
sides would add much to the attractiYeness,
insuring GOODNESS and comfort during the
suuucE uOulAS WuCu dlI COufCuGAOuo AC
held. A building of great size, it is
claimed, could be erected suitable for
! such uses, at comparatively small cost,
about $500 or $4,000 at the outside, and
would be a most desirable adjunct to the
Western North Carolina Fair, for one
thing.
Some of our citizens are in favor OF
building it ON level ground, when its use-
fulness would be. still greater in its adap-
ton as q roller skating rink, when not
used for other purposes.
At all events, HendersoOville has now
reached the Stage where we have out
grown our present facilities along tha
line, and If certain plans of the Board o.
| Trade are carried to successful issue, the
building of modern auditorium of some
| kind, will be an assured fact within the
next few months.
The Hustler INVITES its readers to Civ
their fideas as to the proposed building
Where to build it, how to build it, wha
kind of building, what size, or anything
else you may have to say about it. Max
your letter bFfef and to the point.
1t is the opinion of many of our promi
nenL citizens that such a building woul
pay from the start, in the increased facili
ties for handling religious gatherings, pc
litical conventions, or any other larg
gatherings, and they claim it is the on
thing lacking to make our beautiful cit
he convention place of the South.

CRAWFORD AND PEARSON.
Will These Two Political Giants be
Pitted Against Each Other in
the Fall Campaign.

It is stated by the Asheyille Citizen that
the congressional contest IN the convention
this year will be quadranglar. and that the
candidates for nomination are Gallert, OF
Rutherford, Gudger and Hewett, of Bun
come, and Crawford, of Haywood. 1t is
also stated by the Citizen hut in different
issue, that the present minister to Persia,
Hon. Richmond Pearson. may possibly be
the republican candidate, as he is lmpor-
tuned by republicans to return and become
their standard bearer in the tenth district
in the next campaign. 1t would be fitting
for Crawford and Pearson to measure laDces
again in this district; and it is evident that
no man in the district is better qualified to
meet Mr.. Pearson, or any other man the
republicans can put out, than Hon. w. L.
Crawford. Crawford is a campaigner.
Crawford is an orator and debater, Craw-
ford is statesman of no mean type as his
speeches and record in Congress abundant
ly show; Crawford is conYersant with the
past and present conditions in this district;
and he is not uninitiated in the modus oper-
andi of national legislative machinery !;
Crawford is favorably known among the
member of both houses of congress rs he
is known and loved by the people of the
tenth district; and from what we have
learned from various paris of the district,
Crawford is sure to get the nomination.
And what vote he will roll up for the
democratic party y!-WaYnesville Courier.
