GINGER
NEEDED

Twouldn't be bad idea to admit
some of Hendersonville's clever women
60 membership in the Board of Trade.
Having jurisdiction over the ginger jar
they would be in position to supply the
one element that seems to be lacking
in that body.
After much talk, contract has bsen
let to T. w. Valentine for = hundred
dollars worth of printing-advertising
for which competitive bids were
secured from Asheville. 1t seems to be
fashionable for even the BOARD OF
TRADE to go to Asheville.
Possibly the Asheville people, if they
secured the contract, would come right
back to HeHdersonville on the first
electric car, and spend the money right
here in Hendersonville, among the
merchants who compose the board of
trade, and who are largely putting up
the money for the work.
And then again maybe that money
would stay right in Asheville.
The imprint of an AsheVille firm on
Hendersonville advertisinS would a so
help some-of course!
And the Board of Trades example
helps the local merchants, too-maybe.
This is the limit of absurd inconsistency
Judging from the length OF some of
the articles to appear in this pamphlet,
it will take, not I6 page pamphlet, but
q lie page, to hold them all.
AS IL Is proposed to put this on cheap
paper which will NOT carry half-tone
pictures in q creditable manner, it Is
doubtful just what benefit will be de-
rived from it's publication. As people
have neither time nor desire to wade
thro' lot of talk when that talk is not
helped ont by good, weli-printed illus
trations.
what this town needs is q handsomely
printed booklet, with many good illus
trations, and SHORT, snappy articles,
not sermon on each of the various to-
pics it IL desired to touch upon.
Ths town viii probably be asked to
Gxpend $500 of the tax payers money
on this advertising campaign of the
board of trade.
The business men have been asked to
contribute the balance.
Many have so contributed, and then
again MANY HAVEN'T.
1t is hoped this large sum Of money
will be expended in q manner which
will bring RESULTS.
The matter was first a2itated way
back yonder.
The well attended mass meeting,
which was brought about very largely
by the efforts of this paper, which
flooded the streets for days previous
with announcements of the meeting, and
for which printing no bill has ever been
rendered the board of trade, first
brought the matter to the public atten-
ton,
Up to the present time no advertising
matter has been issued OF any impor-
ance.
To be effective it should be at the
different points for distribution not
later than march first.
The idea is to get RESULTS from
this mOney-not TO have lot of pretty
souvenirs TO distribute among people
who are already here next season.
AS the matter now stands a contract
has been entered into tor a 16-page
pamphlet, and estimates are being Sc
cured from printing firms outside this
city for larger pamphlet of illustra-
tions.
The last, and only book of views Of
the city was printed at the Hustler Of
fee.
Whatever its faults in some respects
may have been, its mechanical excel
lence has meyer been questioned.

an ordinance for an electrical inspec-

and passed, but the ordinance was laid
over under the rules for action at the
next meeting. The council has been
considering this measure in different
forms for about three years.
Urges Change In System.
j. w. Cavanaugh, superintendent of
the waterworks department, made a
special report to the council, urging
attention to the question of changing
the system of filtering the city water.
Mr. Cavanaugh takes the position that
the water should be filtered at the
river front, instead of on the hill,
thereby. reducing the expense, and
making sit possible to filter all of the
water all of the time" He shows that
| the city now dependent On the grav-
lity flow of water from the hill for do
nestle and fire pressure service, the
pressure ranging from 80 to 60 pounds
according to the part of the city and
Mr.. Cavanaugh declares the city mains
too small as general rule. In case
of fire demanding more pressure, it is
necessary at present to pump raw wa
ter into the mains, no matter what
the condition of the river may be al
1.-THE time. This is not done until the
chief of the fire department demands
great pressure.
Dead for Some Time.
Mr.. Cavanaugh points out that the
filter system is dead for considera
BILE portion of the year, during thu
winter season when the filters can no
be cleaned This is at the time, toe
when the river is most likely to b
disturbed and the water needs mos
altering. The superintendent explain
further that even when the filters ca
be cleaned it is possible to skim o.
merely little of the top, and that i

ime the sand, which can not be stir
led up or agitated, must all be taken
)ut and cleaned and replaced. This
means a big expense for labor and
loss of sand.
Too Great a Lift.
The superintendent opinion is that
he city is spending too much money
n handling the water, because of the
conditions which make it necessary to
,se big and expensive machinery to
)ump raw water to the hill
- He urges the installation of me
:hanical filter on the river front. with
l capacity of filtering 6 100000 gallons
every "a hours, and room for enlarge
nent The clear water would then be
pumped to the storage basins on the
aill, with capacity of 100000 gal
Ions. The city would then use the
gravity flow as at present, but in case
Of fire only clear water would be
pumped into the mains, and not raw
water. The clear water well at the
liver front would not be exhausted,
because the storage of 100000 gal
'ons on the hill would make it posi-
de to open valves to allow this to
flow by gravity into the well if the
supply began to run low in case of
fire.
In connection with the report Chair
man Blochlinger of the waterworks
committee submitted blue prints of a
proposed filter plant at the water
works station, along the lines suggest
ed by the superintendent and the city
engineer. The plans and report were
submitted to the waterworks commit
tee and special committee composed
of one alderman from each ward.
Met In New Chamber.
Last evening the council held its
first meeting in the new council cham.
Der on the third floor. The room
while not entirely finished, is a big
improvement over the old council
room, and is much larger, more con
veniently arranged, and more attrac
tive in appearance. 1t reflects the
good judgment of the architect, George
P. Stauduhar, and the members of the
building committee.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.


The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheIia or scarlet fever when
he has a cold The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers. and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. f. Starcher, of
Ripley, W. Va, says: II have never
used anything other than Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for my child IN
and it has always given good sa.istac.
tion." This remedy contains no opium
or other narcotic and may be given IS
confidently to child as to an adult.

COUNCIL DOES
NOT APPROVE
Seven Aldermen Vote for Resolution
Taking Issue With Mayors
Stand on Licenses.
TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY
Leave II All Up to Mr.. Schaffer in
Case of Litigation-Change in
Filters Is Urged.

Last evening seven of the aldermen
voted for the adoption of resolution
expressing disapproval of Mayor
Schaffer's action in refusing to issue
saloon licenses for those places which
the mayor has said he will not permit
to be operated as saloons during his
administration. Alderman Smith
brought the matter up, and asked
the mayor to state why he does not
issue licenses, when there is no COM
plant on the character of the appli-
cant. 1T depends on the place for
which the application is wanted. as
well as on the applicant" replied the
mayor He was then urged to explain
why he has not given licenses to GER
tain places, including the three in
what once was whisky row" on Eigh-
teenth street, and the Owl, the Quail,
and the Hub saloons on Seventeenth
street.
The mayors reply was short and
forcible. 'ThOse places have never
been anything but dives, gambling
joints and rotten places. They have
been a constant source of trouble 1t
mattered not in whose name the Ii
cense was issued, the places were run
that way. | will not issue a license
to any one to conduct saloons there
Resolution is Adopted.
Alderman Smith explained that he
anticipated that litigation would arise
over this controversy, and that these
saloons that are now out of business
might start suits in case the pending
suit over the licenses should be de-
cided against the city.
Alderman Smiths resolution was as
follows:
Resolved, that inasmuch as the
mayor without the consent Or consult,
ing the city council has gone into the
courts and fought respectable individ
uals who sought licenses in various
saloons, and while the mayor has seen
fit to do this. we the council wish il
understood that we do not approve OF
his actions and that the council will
not be responsible for any litigation
that may occur now or in the future
as we win not under any consideration
spend the taxpayers money for such
unwarranted actions. And, if any such
litigation should occur and the mayor
sees fit to fight the same in the future
he shall do SO at his own risk and re
sponsibility."
