particular is the sale of some of the CON-

holders to be stock owners and thereby
share the benefits earned by the COM

owner a own more than forty shares
of stock, which prevents the opportuni-

management, besides some other feat

companies. The very rapid growth of
the company shows how the people ap-

1t Is our sincere desire that Santa Claus
shall visit every home in Hendersonville
on next Monday night. He should not
~disappoint the children, if to please them
he is forced to the necessity of foregoing
some pleasure for himself. The expectant
little tots must be looked after. They are
the sunshine in every home and the future
hope of this great country. May the grac-
ious old map remember them every one.

How to Roast the Turkey.

Nothing can take the place of q tur-
key at Christmas, and no way Is so
satisfactory as to cook it In the style
u grandmothers did. To do this
clean, SINCE and wash it we'll. Make q
dressing Of breadcrumbs, with chop
ped onion, celery tops, the giblets boil
ed n chopped fine, two ounces Of fat
salt pork, a quart Of oysters and their
strained liquor, dry sage, a little
thyme, sweet marjoram and q heap
Ing teaspoonful Of dry ginger, with salt
n pepper, rather more than usual, as
the meat absorbs much Of the season
Ing. When the bread is soft with he
oyster liquor or tepid water, add the
other things and work them together,
adding two beaten eggs. Fill the tur-
key with this and tie it we'll, fastening
the legs and wings to the body. Then
lay the bird in a deep pan, fill that
with water and lay some slices Of pork
or waxed paper over the breast and
wings that they may not burn. Have
a moderate oven, so the inside will

the better. This is the famous plan of
Lucullus, who used to serve pigs half
boiled and half roasted. So, when one
hour and a half for a ten or twelve
pound turkey have passed, turn him
over and fill the pan again as full as
possible. The steam cooks him as well
as the heat of the fire. By the end of
another hour look at him, and, IL he
needs a little basting, haste him. If
not, let nature take her course, and at
the end Of the full three hours the fur
key will be done all through and the
water will have all absorbed or evapo-
rated. Dredge a little -four on the
upper surface Of the bird and let It
brown. Dish, and with the residue in
the pan, with some more water. make
the gravy with a little -four stirred
into 1t before the water Is added. Then
pour boiling water in slowly, stirring
IL all the time. This gravy should be
strained. This is the best as we'll as
the easiest way to roast a turkey, as If
absolutely no attention. save
TO watch the fire and look at it the
last half hour once after it has been
turned over. 1t is rich, juicy and cad

The proposition for..better roads Is being
agitated by the citizens and newspapers of
almost every county in Western North
Carolina. Nearly everyone seems t. real
lie that good roads can come only by taxa
ton, and that method is coming in for a
good deal of favorable comment. The pres
ent "slip-shod" way of working roads is
time thrown away and the law we now
nave is not satisfactory to scarcely any
body. So every citizen should make it a
point to be present at the meeting next
saturday and express his opinion of what
should be done about the passage of a new
flaw.

Letters and Pounds.

I believe the stolidity Of the English
character and it's implicit acceptance
Of authority are due in a large measure
to the fact that long before it leaves
the spelling class it is ready to believe
anything. And this unG~uastiOning at.
titude Of mind is only rendered the
more hopeless when it comes to learn
that in n case twelve ounces make a
pound, in another case it requires six
teen. Indeed, if we had set ourselves
deliberately to stamp out rational in
sttncts and the habit of logical and
thoughtful inquiry in the child mind,
we probably could not have devised
two more fendish instruments than
our scheme of spelling on the one hand
and of weights and measures on the
other.-LonI0n Mail.

Asheville mas passed a compulsory schoo,
law, which is a step in the right direction.
Hendersoville should be the next progress
sive city to follow suit. The sentiment
favorable to local taxation and compulsory
attendance is growing rapidly in North
Carolina and we should not be surprised to
see both these features of educational work
endorsed at the polls before a great while.

ment made on the night of his election two
years ago in which he declared be would
not accept the nomination for a third

him out of the running in 1908 and Taft
is said to be slated for the place. Bryan
ought to lick him without much trouble.

.HANSBR0UGH MEETING
4 FROST

The fact that the Hansbrough
meeting at Hillsboro was a frost.
was merely the handwriting on
the wall, telling in an eloquent
way of the rapid passing Of the
Devils Lake politicians power.
There is a new order of things
coming, and when they do come
the Hansbrughs, the McCumbers
the Marshalls, the Gronnas and
the Sarles species will be politi-
cally extinct. There is only one
course for you to pursue, young
man. Follow the dictates Of
your conscience in forming your
political alliances. Choose only
the clean and the wholesome.
None other can endure. There
never was a machine, there new
err will be one, that won't wear
out and be cast aside by the dis
gusted people. There isn't a
part of the present gang outfit
that will be regarded as fit for
public service when the awaken
ing comes. And that awakening
is only a short distance away.
The sleeping giant of North Da-
kota is opening his eyes and the
people will rule.

was up for consideration in con-
gress, they voted in favor of the
RAILROADS and against the in
terests Of the PEOPLE.
They dare not mention their
record to the voters of this state
for we'll they know that the peo-
pie know that they are both
owned and controlled by the
State Machine and that the ma
chine is owned and operated by
the railroads, hence, just SO sure
as two and two make four, is it,
that both these gentlemen are.
owned and controlled by the.
smoothest, oiliest, best running,
and rottenest Political Machine
in the world.
They are mere tools, hirelings:
a disgrace to the fair state Of
North Dakota whose people they
misrepresent in congress, ever
ready to lick the hand of their
master. the MACHINE, ard ever
alert to the interests of the Rail-
roads and other large corpora
tons which they in reality repre-
sent, but thank God the day is,
passed when the oily and dishon-
est politician can pull the wool
over the eye of the honest voter,
and here in our great state to-
DAY the average voter knows,
that if President Roosevelt, Gov.
Cummings or Senator LaFollette
should visit our state for the pur-
pose of campaigning, that each
and every one of them would de-
clare himself for the success of
the Democratic ticket. Let ey-
cry law abiding, law loving
voter work from now until the
polls close and help increase the
splendid democratic majority
about to be received, and by So
doing administer a rebuke to the
Machine such as will forever and
a day put it out of business in
this state and assist in bringing
about such a condition that in the
future the people will be repre-
sented by the state official elect
ed, whether they be democrats or
republicans.

close, election day Will soon be
a thing of the past, and the first
of the year will witness a change
for the better in the administra-
ton of state affairs. The demo-
Gratis and better element Of the
republicans have made a clean
fight, standing shoulder to Shout
der they have espoused the cause
of the people. Theirs has been
an uphill fight; they had no rail-
roads to draw on for large cam
paign funds, neither did they
have an insurance commissioner
at their command and to bride
the brainless, cheap, tinhorn ed
itors of the state with his insur-
ance statements, their campaign
fund was exceedingly small while
the republican fund was limit
less. They had no orators to
send out over the state on rail-
road passes. The few men who
have been giving their time
preaching the truth to the peo-
pie for the democratic committee
have paid their own expenses
and their own railroad fare, and
now as the day Of election draws
near indications from over the
I state point to a sweeping victory
for the entire democratic ticket,
the supporters of good govern
ment will be victorious and once
again the people of the state will
rule.
The fight this year has not
been between the democratic and
republican parties, for the reason
that the people long since real
lied that the republican party
was not in power in this state,
they know that years ago the
power which was in the hands of
the republican party passed to a
machine which was created, and
is owned, operated and controlled
by the railroads; they knew that
the fight this year was between
the PEOPLE and the RAIL-
ROADS; that the real issue is,
"SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE
THE RAILROADS" or "SHALL
THE RAILROADS RULE THE
PEOPLE"
The machine has sent their
trusted lieutenants out over the
state, travelling back and forth
on railroad passes. delivering adj
dresses to the voters; they have
been busy telling the people to
vote the straight republican
ticket, but in none Of their
speeches have they dared deny
the charges made by the demo-
Gratis and good government fol-
lowers, Of mis-feance, non-fe-
ance and mal-feance in office COM
mitted on the part of the repub-
lican State officials.
United States Senators Hans
borough and McCumber are
among the machine speakers;
they are daily delivering address,
es in the smaller hamlets and in
land towns, soaring off into me-
teoric flights of oratory, loudly
praising Roosevelt, and asking
the voter to vote the straight
ticket. But at no time or place
have either one of these gentle
men explained to the people of
this state why it was that they
and each of them, during the last
session of congress. voted against
eight different amendments offer
ed in the United States Senate
by U. S. Senator LaFo)lette in
favor of Railroad Regulation.
Let them explain to the people
whom they claim to represent at
Washington why it was that
when the Railroad Rate question
