The "Softered" Sorrow.

The sorrow that was brought to our
heart by the announC enent that Hon
Jacksonville had for the first time lin
many years. elected a Democratic may
or was consid erAbly softened by the
fact that it was n SON Of Greensboro, and
one, too, Of whom the city is proud, that
has turned the trick,
Mr.. Michael Schenck, the newly elect
cd chief executive of the mountain city,
has m inherited right to political and
legal honors in North Carolina, being q
son of the late Judge David Schenck and
himself ; lawyer of ability.
That he will wear his new honor
worthily is as firmly believed by those
among whom Mr.. Schenck spent his
boyhood days as that by his character
and ability he deserved it.-Daily In

will our good friend, the Hustler of
Hendersonville, please tell US what has
become OF the Hon. Charles French
Toms? We haven't seen his handsome
picture in any of the radical papers for
some time, and have been wondering If
the "court house ring'' of Henderson
county has set upon Charles'ambitions."

80 far as we know, Charlie is still in
full fellowship with the ''court house
ring" but it appears to be the concensus
of opinion here that he finds the pro-
motion of ''infant industries. the grow

ECHOES OF THE ELECTION.
The Democracy Of HendersonviIIe
And Our Mayor-EIect Coming
In For Heartiest
Congratulations.
rHF "CITIZEN Racket"

There is usually little political sig
%nifcance in city elections. In nearly
all the towns the Democrats win as q
matter of course But there are some
towns where it is 8 hot political fiGht.
Usually in Asheville and Henderson.
VILE, where the Republican party is
strong, the Democrats nominate q
straight Democratic ticket and the Re-
publicans name q so-called "Citizens
ticket" upon which a few Democrats
are placed. In Asheville for half a doz-
en- years the Republican have been
doing "the Citizen ticket'' racket, one
year being dry, another year being wet
and bein generally against any local
policy that the Democrats favor. And
every time, with one exception, the dis
guise was so thin, the voters could see
through and few except Republicans
voted for the Citizens ticket" This
year, seeing they could no win
posing as Citizens" the Republicans
of Asheville came out in the open and
nominated a straight Republican ticket
to test their strength. 1t was a party
fight and the Democrats won by over
i've hundred majority, showing that the
mountain metropolis is Democratic.
For a long number of years the "Cit-
izens' ticket" composed of Democrats
and Republicans mainly the latter, have
governed Henders nvtlle where the
Republican party is very strong.
Some OF the leading Democrats of that
growing town have opposed the policy
and demanded a straight party fight
but division in the ranks has hitherto

The tax assessors will soon begin the
work of assessing property for taxes.
1t is hoped that the assessors in this
county will see that property is assessed
on more of a uniform basis than it. was
four years ago. If the right assessment
had been placed on some of the real
estate in Moore there would have been
more taxes collected during the past
four years by several thousand dollars.
Some of the real estate in Moore is as.
sessed at about one third or one half
what it ought to be.-Sanford Express.
The conditions in Moore County 70.
cited above are similar to those which
have for years existed in Henderson
and many other counties;the evil COM
planned of should be corrected by the
assessors this year, Every property
owner ought to receive equal consid-
Grafton and each individual citizen be
taxed in proportion TO his ability to
meet the obligation upon q just and
equitable assessment of his holdings.

OUR oNGRATULA1IoNS.

Want OF space last week prevented
the Hustler, individually, from express
sing it's exceeding great joy to Q tie
straight democratic ticket trium phi at
the polls in old Hendersonville n time
more. 1t was indeed a great victory
and the democracy and people of this
thriving little city r to be heartily
congratulated. We have long since
cherished the hope that u people
would realize the error of their way and
this hope although family visible at
times. has never been abandoned so
after years of hoping against faith We
are made to realise more fully that the
''promise is to the faithful" and reward
to the worthy ''comes to bin who
waits" This newspaper has always
stood for 'tthe straight thing" in matt
ers political and otherwise and is natur-
ally reioiced to be able to realize once
again the position from which it has
never swerved is so emphatically us
tanned by the democrats and i~ndepend-
emit voters of beautiful Hendersonville.
In concluding an editorial soon after
the democratic convention named the
candidates, (who were subsequently tri-
umphant at the polls) after giving hearty
approval of the policy outlined for the
campaign, we said:
"Here's hoping for a signal victory for
the democratic ticket on Tuesday, Nay
7th. United, they will sweep the town;
divided, q different result may be the
ultimate conclusion. EVeryt democrat
to his post and the fight is won."
And be it said to the everlasting cred
it of the organization, there was no di-
vision in the ranks and every man ap-
peared sat his post" The Hustler lays
modest claim to a small portion of the
credit, but there is glory enough for all
and every democrat Is entitled to share
in happy result of the contest. Yes in
justice t the splendid efforts and un-
firing energy of the democratic chair

fairs is largely due the gratifying Gull
minatior of one of the most exciting
political campaigns ever Witnessed in
Hsndersonville. His ability as an or
ganizer is recognized to be of the high
est order and he has shown beyound
question that the democrats made no
mistake in putting him at the head of
their organization. "He is the right
man in the right place." Also, we
want to commend the democrats Of the
town for the loyal support given their
chairman. Without this he would have
been impotent and the result vastly diff
ferent from what it turns out to be-.
SIN union there is strength" and with
m organization in the county equal to
the one now existing in the city Of
HOndersonville, with every democrat
mt his post, we will march to victory at
the November election next year. Let
US hope and work for just such a result.
1t can be accomplished by the honest
effort of all those calling themselves
democrats.

Eery new Invention and every new

opposed by csrtain people on the
ground that II Is "undignifed' to ac-

road there were many people that
held that no self-respecting lady of
gentleman would ride on the steam
cars. 1t was undignified to ride, in
anything except a stage coach or pri-
vate conveyance. There was time
when many business men refused to
use typewriter, on the ground that
it was undignifed to send out any
thing but written letter. For many
years 1t was considered undignified
for banker to do business in any
thing but dingy, uncomfortable
office.
So today there are multitudes Of
bankers who regard it as undignined
to advertise. Now advertising is prac-
tically modern discovery. Like ting
