AT their meeting last night the city
council took steps to abate the smoke
nuisance. There are so many facto-.
ries located here now that the city is
always covered with a pail of smoke.
Hereafter all manufacturing enter
prIses will be compelled to use cleo
tricity for power, exclusively.
The council passed an ordinance
compelling the Hendersonviile Light
and Power Company to place all their
wires under ground. r. NJ. Oats
says the city dads have one more
guess.
An ordinance was passed prohibit
ing the Hendersonville & Asheville
Traction Co. from running their big
cars through the city faster than
twelve miles an hour. The streets
are so congested with traffic that a
faster speed is considered dangerous.
A resolution was introduced appro-
priating money to buy a burying
ground at Green River. Claimed
city real estate was so high people
could not afford to be buried here.
Franchise was granted the Hen
dersonville Hot Air Company, who
propose to furnish gas for the many
air ships now owned in the city.

IeIIth0t truth

Sometimes it hurts to tell the
truth, but it's q good thing, gener-
ally, to tell it.
Hendersonville did not have the
crowd of visitors year last..it looked
for. Most everyone in town knows
This to be q, fact, tho it may be.
generally denied.
The reason is not far to seek
There has been no advertising
matter about the town sent out.
Absolutely none. Inquiries by
the hundred have beed received
asking for printed matter and
there's been nothing to answer
them with.
Hendersonville certainly has no
monopoly on air and climate IN
Western North Carolina, altho'
we know there is no other resort
which can quite equal her in these
respects.
There is hardly a town in this
part of the state, led by Asheville,
of course, which is not sending out
quantities of advertising matter,
while Hendersonville sits back
and says, "Why, we sent out one
souvenir book, a long time ago,
and we got about one thousand
per cent returns on that invest
ment, and we don't think it's ne
cessary to do anything more along
that line"
Such a course is the same as
committing suicide. The town
suffered severely last summer. 1t
! will suffer the coming season just
the same.
The town ought to be full OF
/ tourists now. They would be here
were the claims of Henderson.
vile properly presented to them
and the only way to do it is By
} proper advertising matter.

The Times came out yesterday with

The Daily Hustler now owns a fast
automobile truck which is used to
deliver its papers to the different

Henderson county is now solidly
democratic. At the recent election
the bond issue vas elected by a hand

The Southern Railway, the Appa-
lachian Interurban and the Green

with the three electric roads now
entering the city, will erect a great

viii be Missed.

The death of John Charles McNeiIl
leaves a gap in the ranks of North Caro-.
lima literary men which will remain un-
filed for long time. Mr.. McNeill was
in Hendersonville during the State Bar
Convention. he was the guest of Mr..
Clande Brown while here and wrote
much of his copy about the convention
in the Hustler Office. While here only
a few days it was ample time to endear
him to many of our people, who had
learned to love him and his fine produc-
tions in the Charlotte Observer.
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1907-10-24

It's time the business men woke
up and looked the situation III the
the face.
It wontdo to let Hendersonville
rundown at the heel. And it'll
do just that unless somebody gets
busy and make the merchants, the
hotel keepers, the real estate men,
and the citizens generally alive to
the fact that advertising has got
to be done if the city is to remain
in it's present position as the finest
resort town Of the South.

Steps should be taken NOW, not

Steps should be taken NOW, not
next month or next year, to see
that the name HENDERSON,
VILE is know throughout the
North and South almost as we'll
as is that of AsheAille.
This can be done by co-opera-
ton. There is nothing which
cannotbe done when everyone In a
community backs and pushes an
enterprise, and IN this case the
entire community would certainly
benefit by the money spent is adj
vertising Hendersonville.

Made a Strike as a Special Judge.

Rolling Fork, Oct. The
October term of the Circuit Court
of Sharkey county convened at
Rolling Fork Monday with Hon.
j. B. Holden, of Summit, Miss,
presiding as special Judge. The
first week of the term has been
entirely devoted to criminal bust
ness and the brilliant young pre-
siding Judge has alomst entirely
cleared up the criminal docket.
Everyone, including the jurors,
officers and people are delighted
with Judge Holden, who is not
only an able lawyer and splendid
executive, but also an attractive
gentleman personally. At the
conclusion of the. court term
Judge Holden will leave behind
him many warm friends who will
watch bis future successes with
much interest and pleasure.
There is little new business be-
fore the court; only few indict-
ments being returned SO far by
the grand jury.
The majority of the cases be-
fore the court have been disposed
of and at the expiration of this
week the criminal docket will be
practically cleared up.
Next week will be devoted to
the civil docket when it is expect
ed that large amount of business
will be disposed of.

Editor Leader:-I saw in last
Saturdays Leader that you have
made a mistake as to the charge
the negro George Miller was ar
raigned, tried, and convicted on
in the Justices Court at. Lucien,
on the 18th of October. He was
tried for the crime named in sec
tion 1918, Code of 1906, to.wit:
"A person who wilfully and lewd-
ly exposes his person, or private
parts thereof, in any public
place, or in place where others
are present. " You will see by
examination, our law makers have
made said crime a misdemeanor.
Justice Wooten did not try the
case, as he was related to the
lady, Mrs. Cupit. | was called in
to try the, case. We found out
after interrogating Mrs. Cupit
that that was the charge that
could be sustained, so he was
tried on an affidavit made by Mrs.
Cupit on said charge, and convict
ed and given the full penalty,
which is $50 fine and twenty days
in the county Jail.
Respectfully yours,
