DemOcrscy's Fight on Radicals.

clearly how far the fear or Mr.. Hearsts
radicalism has spread. In the history of
our country no nan has been elected presi-

no answer except that made by the old

comes nearer practicing and holding this

ton, being slightly in the majorl-
Nv. carried it through. Gudgere's
friends claimed that the Ruther-
ford and Haywood conventions,
in two of Crawford's counties, had
adopted similar resolutions, when
as a matter of fact, neither OF
them had 60 much as thought OF
such a thing. The Haywood con-
yention had not even been held
and thnse who asserted that such
resolutions had been passed IN the
counties named knew, or could
have known, they were making an
unfounded charge. 1t seems that
everything possible was done IN
the Buncombe convention, domi-
mated by Gudger delegates, to OBJ
tain an advantage ove the other
aspirants for congress, but with
all their schemes aud devices the
attempt to suppress the voice of
the people will not subceed. I'm
der the plan of organization,
Messrs. Hewitt and Crawford are
entitled to and will be accorded
the full strength reported from
the Buncombe primaries, until
two-thirds of their friends consent
to a change. We repeat: the con-
gressional convention will be gov
erned by reason, justice and law
and not in the interest of any
particular candidate, clique, OF
combine.
The Henderson county conveu-
ton was composed largely of Craw-
ford supporters, that gentleman
having received more than two
thirds of the county's vote, yet no
attempt was made, or even thought
of, to deprive his opponents of q
single vote or any representation
on the congressional delegation.
Our people believe in q square deal
and will stand for nothing else.
1t is our opinion that the vote of
Henderson county in the conven-
ton will be solid against the at
tempt of any delegation to use
coersiue methods in depriving a
man of his strength.

There is a reward of $500 offered by
the Asheville Citizen for information
leading to the arrest of "Lord Douglas"
alias J. G.. Cavendish, who married an
Asheville girl, Miss Josephine Hood,
and who is suspected of having MUIR
dered that young lady. Cavendish is
alleged to be a swindle, q bigamist, and
possibly a murderer. He married Miss
Hood last December, and both have
completely disappeared since that time.

We have been having heavy rains for
the past week, and the farmers are get
ting il the weeds. l can Thick back
just thirty years and recall the fact that
at that time there was not an acre of
land In the lower part of the Mills River
valley that was not covered with water
and some of it ten feet deep. That
was what is known as the June freshet.
Yesterday the exercises of Children's
Day was held at the Mills River chapel.
The house would not hold all the peo-
pie. The exercises were pronounced by
those who are competent % judge as be-
Ing very good. The music was fine and
everything was pleasant. There is no
place where you can find any better tai
ent for music than in the children of
Mills River. I wish all the parents
could see the situation as do and that
they would look after and develop this
wonderful and good gift of a kind Provi-
dence to their children.

Editors Slight Mistake.

There Ii q Joke being told here at the
expense Of a modest young newspaper
man In q neighboring town which is so
good 1t ought to be true. The young
man In question, 1t appears was recently
invited TO a party at . residence where
b home had recently been blessed with
an addition TO the Family. Accompanied
by his best girl he met his hostess at the
door, and, after che customary solutions,
asked after the welfare of the baby.
The lady was suffering from q severe cold,
which made her slightly deaf, and she
mistakenly supposed that the young man
ives inquiring about her cold. She re-
piled that, though she usually had one
every winter, this was the worst one sh
had ever had; ID had kept her awake at
night a great deal at first and confined her
10 her bed. Then. noticing that the scribe
was becoming pale and nervous, she SAID
she could see by his looks that he was o
lag to have one just like hers. and asked
him II he wished to lie down. The paper
came out as usual the next week, but the
editor has given up inquiring about babies.

Continued from Page One

drag. Only pillow one furrow. You
may pillow another furrow after the next
rain. AT each blowing you widen the
roadbed two feet.
How many horses do you use?
Two, generally; three if it is just as
handy; four when breaking colts-a
good sold team in the centre and a colt
on each side; two men on the drag-one
TO drive, the other to control the colts.
How do you drain the road?
II the earth is pushed in the middle
OF the road continually, the road will
drain itself.
Why not make the drag out of plank?
You can and do good work. But the
split-log Is best. The plank drag is not
so stiff.
Why not make the drag of heavy
sawed timber?
Because drags sc made have a tender
cy to slip i've the bumps.
Don't you grade up the road first?
No. The grading is done with the
drag, gradually. By so doing, the road
is solid all the time and is built on a
solid foundation.
What does 1t cost to drag q mile of
road a year?
The cost is variously estimated at
from n to three dollars.
how do you keep the drag from dodg-
ing around sidewise?
BY not loading it too heavily. If a
drag lodges around the earth you are
moving, it is because it is overloaded.
Will the drag road stand heavy haul
ing?
Yes and no. A dragged road will
stand more heavy than an undragged
road, but not so much as a macadamized
or we'll kept gravel road.
Will drag help q ssnd road?
A sand road Is a very different prop
osition from the black soil. clay or gum
DO. An entirely different method must
be adopted. Three things may be done
to . sand road to make 1t better. FIRST
keep it wet; second, haul clay on to it;
third, sprinkle it with crude oil, as
they do in California and i'm some parts
of Southern Kansas and Texas. The
drag will be beneficial in keeping the
SAND road perfectly fat so that it will
absorb moisture and retain 1t q lGER,
time.
To this catechism l would add the
following "Don'ts": Don't drive too
fast. Don't walk; get on the drag and
ride. Don't be particular about ma
terisl; almost any log will do. Don't
try to drag with only one piece; use
two.
Following is a diagram of the drag

There Cardinals professor sleeps
Where thousands of people GO.
Like Moses of old on Nebo's top,
Identifying his claim,
He's buried In the solid rock
While nations read his fame,
Having identified his claim
Lost, wandering into the gorge below
Here in the darkness Of night,
His life was lost in the cataract of the

It seems that Job in his starry vault,
While passing the mountain side,
Dedicated the spot. the sage's lot,
Eighty feet long by twenty wide,
High above the hchen and o
The proud balsams only wave;
The stars keep vigil by night
While the winds sing requiems DER his
grave.
And the-golden sun at the dawn Of day,
As 1t kisses the silent tomb,
Far off on the horizon below,
Look like the midnight gloom. g.
Then we retrace u weary way
Each to his distant home,
Thinking of the laden monument there
That marks the sages tomb.

For the noble work 1t has done,
That others may come with fame like

From the ranks yet unborn.
