Then she wandered down the broad
garden path, and with the same air OF
dreamy self-communication passed out
by the lodge gate into the road. Two
dogs, which had been lying asleep on
the lawn, had sprung up at the sound
Of her light footstep and followed her
barking kidnapping in frantic delight
AS she stopped to speak to and pet
them, there came out from behind the
lodge a small pony cart, in which was
seated young girl. She was about
seventeen, with a pretty, innocent
face, from which pair of soft brown
eyes looked out appealingly. 1t was
the lodge-keeper's daughter. She col
ored with timid pleasure at the sight
of Olivia, and pulled up the pony, who
resented the operation, and made the
curtsey she attempted an impossibility.

she added, consolingly, as Bessies

disappointment; II will go some other

"Oh, yes, Bessie! Will you bring

SHALL WE FORGET7
Some Results of Republican Gov
ernment in a Few Eastern
Counties.

In New Hanover county forty negro
magistrates were appointed.
BERTHE county got sixteen of these dusky
dispensers of justice, law and equity. y
Edgecombe got nearly twice as many, or
thirty -one.
Craven county was blessed with twenty
seven of the ever faithful.
Halifax county was particular abnox-
ious, having produced "Buck" Kitchin,
who did not believe in negro magistrates,
got twenty-nine of them.
Granville county got seventeen, while
you wait.
Caswell county, which had not done
quite so much for 'our cause" received
seven.
Tn all, there were named by the legisla-
ture of 1895 three hundred negro magis-
trates in North Corolina.
So much for the dispensers of justice at
the homes of the people.
But the negroes we're not content with
that. Years age the negro did not aspire
to bhe county offices, 10 that year, how
ever, Craven county was given negro
register of deeds and negro deputy regis
teIs and three negro deputy sheriffs, q
negro coroner and negro Commissioners.
A negro was elected register of deeds in
New Hanover. negro constables and
deputy sheriffs were appointed.
In Halifax, Edgecombe, BERTHE, Warren,
and, indeed, in all the black counties of
the east, negroes were elected or appoint
ed to public offices.
And if there was one office the negro
was particularly unfit for, it was school
committeeman over white children; aud
yet throughout the eastern counties there
we're a great many negroes appointed
school committeeman over white children.

The Citizen Meeting.

A circular has been issued for meet
ing at the court house next Saturday
for the purpose of nominating an anti.
ring ticket for county officers. The call
was not printed in this Office, hence re-
spousibility for the same has not been
aseertained by the management, ,no-' has
any effort been made to find cut who the
''many voters" really are. A number
of republicans have expressed the opin-
ion that it is democratic scheme with
which they will have little to do and if
any democrats attend such gathering
they will be mighty lonesome. The
HUSTLER knows nothing about it one
way or another and has no suggestions
to offer.
A prominent democrat, who at first
looked with favor upon the suggestion
of citizen movement, had this to sayS
of it yesterday. "After giving thetmat-
ter further consideration | have chang
ed my mind With a mixed up affair
neither party would be responsible and
we could not hope for improved condi-
tions. Heretofore, l haYe advocated
and voted for citizens ticket in Hem
dersonville, but now realize my mistake.
The affairs of the city are in no better
condition than formerly and I shall favor
straight fight hereafter"
Besides, understand the proposition
for mixed ticket was fully considered
at largely attended meeting of the
democratic executive committee and
other members of the party from each
precinct aud voted down by an over
whelming majority. had been led to
believe that only two or three men
holding official positions opposed it,
but now find this to, he mistake. The
committee has spoken, through repae-
sentatives from all parts of the county,
and their wishes should be respected. I
am averse to any proposition, akin to
the one proposed, unless all democrats
can agree upon it. 1t is suicidal to go
into anything with a divided party and
l fear would drive our own people away
from us. -
eff citizens meeting had been held
before either party made nominations
would have more faith in the PROPOSE
tlon for an independent ticket. 1t looks
now too much Ikea scramble for Office
rather than desire to better conditions
since only the defeated republicans and
their friends, in that party, seem to be
interested. The best thing for demo-
Gratis to do, under the circumstances,
since their convention has been called
will be to await developments. Let
these dissatisfied republicans make their
proposition

Will Visit The Old North State
Next Week.

The North Carolina itinerary for Viii.
liam Jennings Bryan, who will spend
Monday, the seventeenth. and Tuesday,
Ghe eighteenth of september In North Caro-
lima, has been arranged. Mr.. Bryan will
deliver six speeches at determind points in
the State, while perhaps short stops at
other places will give the crowds chance
to hear this great apostle of the peoples
nights.
The arrangement for Mr.. Bryan's
itinerary ln North Carolina gave much
concern to State Chairman Simmons, as
many places had asked that Mr.. Bryan be
sent 70 them. Having only two days Of
his time ct whl0h to dispose, and as Mr..
Bryan came into the State at Greensboro
and was compelled to leave 1t by way of
Charlotte on Tuesday night so as 70 fill
appointments made in other States, State
Chairman Simmons has found that the
itinerary ne has announced is the best that
can be done.

The Chautauqua.

Have you attended the ChautauquaP
Did you buy . season ticket? Those
who were wise enough to do SO have
gotten the full value of their money
DIR. Strouse has given the people of
HendersonVille an opportunity to hear
some of the greatest lectures of the day.
The Chautauqua has brought men of
worldwide fame to Hendersonville.
Merely to listen to these men has an
educational value far away beyond the
price. the nominal price, asked sor the
admission tickets. The program has
been one of exceptional merit, and most
of our citizens think it has been beyond
criticism. The crowds have been, all
in all, fairly, satisfactory. OF course,
the delay in the construction of the
auditorium, owing to the excessive
rains, the lateness of the season when
so many of the summer visitors had
left for home, and other causes, worked
against securing the greatest attend
ance. Next year the sessions will begin
we understand. on August 10th asd last
for 20 days. The men to be heard will
include many of those here this year
and also Ben Tilman and Bob La Fol-
lette. DR.. Strouse is enthusiastic over
the prospects for next year. and our
most conservative citizens predict an
out-pouring which will pack the audit
Drum to the doors. The main thing, as
Mr.. W. A Smith so aptly said, is that
we have hHd the first Chautauqua and
that it has been reasonably successful,
Next year and each succeeding year
the chances are it will develop into the
biggest thing for Hendersonville which
ever happened.
And what about the men who have
made it possible?
Starting way back in the spring with
Mr.. Miller, the we'll known bible reader,
who irst suggested it to the Board OF
Trade, down to the present time, when
Mr.. Sam T. Hodges and DR.. II. B. Grin
nan have devoted all their time nearly
to carrying out the project, many of our
citizens have worked faithfully and
we'll, without hope of any kind of
inaacIal or any other kind of reward
except the knowledge that they were
helping to bring great educational
enterprise to the people of Henderson
vile. These two gentlemen nd many
others associated with them deserve a
vote of thanks from the people of the
town, and they will find their reward.
all of them. in the knowledge that they
have contributed materially to the
moral and intellectual up-lift of many
Of our people, and have been instru-
mental in furnishing many an hour of
keen pleasure to the hundreds who at
tended the sessions of the Chautauqua.

tNews and observer.)

Assistant Commissioners M. L. Ship
man, OF the Bureau of Labor and Print
ing, has returned to the city after an
absence of two weeks, spent in collect
ing statistics for the 1905 report of the
department. When questioned con-
cerning his extended tour Mr.. 6hipman
said he had visited Salisbury, Landis
Statesville, Newton, Hickory, Morgan
ton, Kings Mountain, Bessemer City,
Gastonia and Belmont, securing reports
from thirty-fve miscellaneous factories,
twenty-six cotton mills and FIVE furni-
ture factories, He says there Is noti-
ceable increase In all classes of manu-
featuring enterprises and the report
will show pleasing conditions along In
dustrial lines general throughout the
State.
The mill industry is rapidly advanc-
ing, Mr.. Shipman believes, and reports
new textile establishments in operation
or in process of construction at Kings
Mountain, Bessemer City, Gastonia,
lnent is being placed in a number of
old mills, thereby increasing the de-
mand for labor and raw material which
is used in great quantities at many of
the larger mills, some using more than
5000 bales year.
Mr.. Shipman says the manufacturers
are largely favorable to compulsory
education, and opposed to child labor,
Judging from the sentiment they ex-
pressed 70 him upon these questions.
Some of the mill men suggest "father
labor law" for the purpose of reaching
indOlent parents who hang around the
towns, In idleness, and depend upon the
earnings of their children, who ought
to be In school. The manufacturers
appear TO be practically unanimous III
the opinion that compulsory education
would prove the best solution of the
child labor problem and the General
Assembly will doubtless be called upon
to take decisive action along the line
suggested.
Upon the question Of immigration,
Mr.. Shipman says he received about
the same response everywhere-fa-
worable TO the better classes of for
s0igners and the industrious element
found in various sections of this country,
in New England and the North vest.
While away Mr.. Shipman spent a few
days in the mountains and says the
crowds at all the resorts in that section
are unprecedented. The season at
HendersonYille, Brevard. Waynesville,
Toxaway, saluds, Skyland, Asheville
and farther west has been a record
breaker.

a New Book About Henderson
Vile and Flat Rock.

Col. Crittenden. of Greenville, s. c.,
who is here gathering data for his forth
coming book on Hendersonville and
Flat Rock, in interview with Hus-
tier reporter yesterday, said:
During the past summer, 10 the month
of July. spent several weeks in your
fast growing town, and made several
visits to the historic old settlement of
South Carolina planters at Flat Rock.
Although living only forty miles
away, at the city of Greenville, S. c., it
had been many years since had seen
moro of either of them than could be
seen from the cars of passing railroad
trains; while my earliest, and only real
visit was in the year 1919, before the
days of railroads in this section of the
country, when drove a carriage and
horses with two lady relatives through
the then small village of Hendersonv1lle
on my way from Greenville to New
York City.
My visit in July was, in many respects,
a revelation to me. In regard to your
town it was, in the thousands of sum-
mer visitors l saw thronging your
streets, coming from all parts of the
South and West, and even from the
North; in the beautiful and picturesque
mountain scenery Immediately sur
rounding and adjacent to you. your
up-to-date hotels and business houses,
and the number of handsome summer
and permanent homes that dot the
wooded hills in every direction around
Hendersonville.
Some writer has aptly said that West
ern North Carolina, after being settled
100 years, is now rediscovered
country.
1t was, in many respects to me.
But the old planters and distinguished
men of South Carolina who discovered
Flat Rock in the mountains, just over
the North Carolina line, 80 years ago,
have never exploited its beauties to the
world.
No land syndicates have been brought
in to divide it's broad acres into town
lots.
So, the surprise to me, after fifty
years absence, was to see the various
estates in beautifully kept order, in
stead of as feared, in a more or less
dilapidated condition.
Broad gateways, generally Hospitality
open, lead by winding roadways through
grounds densely wooded, or artistically
cultivated, and adorned to old, some
times new, mansions in keeping with
the baronial grounds surrounding them.
Some two years ago 1 had written
and published 100 years history OF
GreSnville, s. c., which beyond my ex-
pectations, was received with public
favor.
Knowing the interesting historical
associations of Flat Rock, and of the
Western counties of North Carolina
from Colonial days to the present time,
was induced by some friends here to
undertake the task which you alluded
to.
have gathered much material the
past month through the kindness of
many old citizens, ladies interested in
such work, and old records. and would
be much obliged for further incidents
and items of interest in such record.
By next summer hope to have the
book published in handsome souvenir
form for sale TO visitors.
have received the kindest encourage
ment from various member, of the
Board of Trade and many prominent
citizens both ladies and gentlemen.
