THE TOPIC OF THE DAY,
Who is Going to be The Lucky
Young Lady to go to The Expo
sition7
Leaders This Week in the Big
Contest at Hunters Pharmacy
Are Misses Pace Dotson, Gates,
: Smathers and WaIdrop.

The absorbing topic of the day in
Hendersonville now is who will be the
lucky young lady to go to Jamestown
on the big free trip given by Hunters
Pharmacy.
1t is talked On the street corners, in
the parlor, in the ofice and by old and
young.
The contest is now In the 3rd week
and the people are watching the long
list rs If it were a bulletin from the
White House.
Messrs Glazener and Stradley two of
the judges of the election, made the big
count out, copy OF which is found be-
low.
Miss Nina Pace made fine run this
week, receiving 3l5 votes in days.
This is the largest vote polled for any
one girl in this time.
Each week gradually increases the
number of both contestants and votes,
there having been fifteen hundred and
twenty one votes polled.
Mayor Schenck has suggested to Mr..
Hunter that we begin and organize and
Exposition Party" and take in the
great show together, provided we can
all organize to get off together late in
the season. The party would probably
consist of the lucky young lady, her
friends, the four Judges, which includes
Mr.. Bill Stradley, their friends, and Mr.
Hunter and family. It would be their
idea to see the city Of Washington also
in party and as Senator Stradley" is
very familiar with the National Capitol
be will be unanimously elected as guide
Report of Judges.
We herewith submit below copy of
the 5rd weekly count out as made by us
on Friday June 2lst, 1907. Find also
below new list of names to be voted
for. The contest is open for all. i

Col. Plckens on Taxation.

Mr.. EDITOR your consent let me
suggest some notifications of our TAX
system in North Carolina. First, ex-
empt from taxation all family libraries.
Such, believe, would be great iacen-
tive to education, and at home lay the
foundation for a practical education and
useful citizenship, home being the prop
er place to begin great and useful
life. Il
Second exempt all wearing apparel.
Such would encourage neatness and
respect for self and others, be conducive
to health and greatly tend to the eleva-
tion and real comfort of the people.
Third, exempt In each family, house
hold and kitchen furniture to the value
of $500, thus the supply of more than
10, 600 North Carolina homes with the
comforts and necessaries of life would
easily be the result, and this exemp-
ton Of home comforts would tend to
beautify the country homes, and make
them pleasant and attractive to the
young. and thus make them love and be
proud of home and farm, and be less in
-clined to go to town, often to loaf and
dissipa te, orwander still farther from
home Influences, and be forever lost TO
the state that gave them birth. The
girls and boys of North Carolina can
better meet the demands of labor under
proper training in this country than
of any other nationality on earth, and
thus go very far towards the solution
of both the labor and immigration
problems. Cannot the great state of
North Carolina, through the wisdom
of her legislators, concede this much for
the good of the people without materi-
ally imparing her financial standing,
especially when such grand results are
almost certain to follow.
These suggestions are made with no
assumption of superior knowledge. but
in the exercise of constitutional right.
