do it in the old sailing ship, and carry the cargoes and passengers of a
dozen of the largest ships dependent upon the wind for propulsion.
These changes have enabled the business man and his employees to
concentrate their energies, so as to hurry their goods and wares to and
from their shops and warehouses in a quarter of the time formerly needed,
first having made arrangements TO do % from the counting room OF
office, through the telegraph or telephone. The electric wires anticipate
the arrival of trains, steamships and the mails, and through them cargoea
of merchandise are ordered today in China, India, Australia, Europe and
the world over, to be sent on their way tomorrow, where formerly months
and even years were required.
To keep up in aerness and activity the concentrated efforts caused
by the needs of today in business life produces a strain which was I'M
known to our fathers, and there must be a relaxation and rest, or a break
down will ensue.
A machine has its limitations, and if kept in constant motion with
out being stopped for rest, repairs and oiGngs, it is sure to wear out
sooner than under more moderate speed. A human being is in a certain
sense a machine of delicate organism, limited to a certain capacity, and
if run at high pressure continuously, year in and year out, without rest,
relaxation and oning, will break down in time and cease to be able to
turn out the best work, if any.
The stress on brain aud mind in business life at the present time is
so much greater than in the days of our fathers that it has led to shorten.
ing the hours given to business and also to the taking and giving Of
vacations, which seem to be needful. and are, in my opinion, helpful to
the business community, and not detrimental. We have more than
enough of nervous breakdowns, even with vacations, and if they
were to be withheld l fear we should have many more, to the
injury of business and of the general
public.

Remarkable Photography.

Photography has caught the Fast.

OF the cinematograph, and It also
shows the growth Of a flower. A bud
which bursts into bloom in; say, 16
days, is exposed to O camera every
10 minutes during the 16 days, and
when the pictures developed from the
films are assembled in order In the
moving picture machine, the observer
may see, to his delight, all in a min
ute or two. the gradual breaking of
the bud-the blossoms open, close by
night and reopen in the morning, the
leaves grow under the eye, the sta
mems peep from cover, and, finally,
the full.blown flower.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces.
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and flneness Of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

Marryino for Love.

Happy marriages are surely possible
even in these unpoetic, hard-hearted
times. They are. If the people will
only follow the instinct of their better
natures and marry for love--the rever-

the maiden, the pure, unsophisticated
affection Of the maiden for the man
instead of b~artering happiness for
rank or money.-Thorne.

The Ball at the Hotel Gates.

The second annual ball given by the
Hotel Gates, Tuesday night was a long
-Iooked for and keenly enjoyed socia
event. About three hundred invited
guests were present, and spent an eye
ming of pleasure on that fine floor of the
big ball room.
Many out-of-town people were pre-
sent, and the picture presentedi by the
many charming maids and matrons, in
their dainty gowns, and the men in
evening clothes, was delightful one.
The german was led by Miss Gates and
Mr. Holmes. The jefferson Theatre
Orchestra's music was an inspiration
for the dancers, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. Al
Gates received the congratulations 0
their guests for the entirely pleasa Mt
evening spent with them.

The annual Farmers institute for Hen
derson County will be held at Hender
sonville, Wednesday, August IA, 1907
There will be two or three speakers
present from the State Department of
Agriculture in addition to the local
speakers.
These Institutes are for free and in
formal discussion of everyday farm
problems and no farmer can attend and
take part in these discussions without
receiving more than enough benefit to
pay for the time spent.
No attempt will be made at this meet
ing to lay down hard and fast rules by
which any man should run his farm but
improved farming methods be discussed
and reasons why these methods are
better than many of those now practic-
ed will be given. We are assured that
no speaker will recommend anything
he has not himself done and that dozens
of farmers in this part Of the state ale
not also doing at this time.
Do not forget the date of this meeting

Mr.. NJ. L. Shipman is the candidate
of the west for the position of commits
sioner of labor and printing. His Offici-

known of ali men, render him the logi-

loyalty and service count for anything,
then M. L. Shipman should be nomi-
mated. While we have nothing agains

must clearly state our position in the
matter. We are for Shipman.-Way-

The Bar Association.

The me mbers of the North Carolina
Bar Association who were here lasL
week, had nothing but the kindest
words to say about HendersOnville and
i,s people. About 800 members were
here, including some of the most promi-
nent members of the legal fraternity of
this and other states.
Mr.. George Rountree, retiring presi-
dent OF the Association, and to whom
the town is indebted for the honor OF
entertaining the lawyers, said to the
Hustler:
eyes, sir, this has been the best meet
ing in the history of the Association,
and we have all been most favorably i'm
nressed with your town and have been
biphly profted by the extremely educa-
tive papers and addresses read before
the convention. These papers have
been of higher educational value, of
more timely interest, than those read
before any previous gathering.
81 am glad to Sell you that the uni
versal sentiment is that Hendersonville
is the most delightful town in which the
Association has ever met, and We all
leave with the kindest feeling for your
heautifuE town and it's hOspitable people.

finest in the state, and its acoustic prop

Mr.. Rountree enjoyed drive around
the city and country before leaving for
his Wilmington home. In the party
were United States Senator Overman,
Mayor Schenck and other prominent
members of the bar.
Mr. Rountree is most genial, cOur-
teous gentleman. who made many
friends here during his all to brief visit.
