Throw a ball against wall with
initial velocity of seventy-fve
miles an hour, and it will come
back to you as fast as you sent it.
This is what is scientifically
termed resilliency. That means
the power to come back. In that
is included the first principle
underlying the record of all great
achievement, the ultimate sue
cess of all big men. DR.. Wins
ton, of the State University,
once said to the old University
janitor:: Wilkes, a man who
don't get a damn, amt worth a
damn !" The man who would
conquer must have had a pre-
vious licking. What the world
is always looking for is a man
and a principle tn at-once
squelched-will come back hard
er than it started the first time.
This has been a disastrous
election for Democrats. The
nation has been overwhelmingly
lost. There have been inroads
made in the State, Yet we ven
ture to say that to you the sight
of the political corpse of w. 7.
Crawford is not a pleasant one.
There is a suggestion there of a
wanton killing. And we want to
remind you that the word corpse
is used for the present, and the
present only. Mr.. Crawford
lead his ticket. Two years from
now he will-if he uns-lead the
field.
Just now we are where the
ball hits the wall after its initial
impact.
Afterwards it will come
back" and stronger than before.
Individuals like Mr.. Grant and
others will do well to take warn
ing. "Cocky-locky" in the fable
was convinced that the sky had
fallen on Henny-penny's tail.
The worst is yet to come, breth-
and it is not we who will have
to bear the burded.

Preacher Steals a Trunk.

Reverend S. B. MCGEE, colored
pastor of the local Baptist church,
was tried before Squire Dermid,
Tuesday, on charge of stealing a
trunk from Mrs. Eber Coffin, of
Knoxville. The Squire bound
the reverend gentleman over to
court under a $500 bond,
M. S. Baughn, of the Southern
Railway swore out the warrant.
1t is alleged the preacher. on
Sept. 10th, changed checks from
his own trunk to the one alleged
to be stolen. This was done at
Biltmore, and he took Ethe trunk
from the local depot. The trunk
and most of it's contents, consist
ing of clothing and jewelry was
recovered by Mr.. Baughn, who
found the preachers children
wearing the stolen fnery.

ALL RIGHT,
SAYS CRAWFORD.
The Congressman Thinks
Democrats Of This County
Did Well.

Congressman w. T. Crawford,
who has been confined to his
home in Waynesville by sickness
for more than two weeks, speaks
cheerfully of democracy's defeat
in this district on Tuesday of last
week. In a private letter to the
editor of the Hustler Mr.. Craw-
ford says, in part:
Taking everything into con-
sideration, this district stood the
shock better than anyother one in
thdState, where there was a fight
on. We had no margin to stand
upon to resist the upheaval. But
we will recuperate and be ready
for the next fight. I feel cheer
full myself over the situation.
Life is too short to be wasted
over such reverses. We must
make the best of it.
Il am still confined to my room,
but am improving and shall go to
Seven Springs, for a few days
rest as soon as | am able.H'
Taking everything in consider
alton, Henderson county did as
well as any in the district, and
your are to be congratulated.
From this it will be seen that
Mr.. Crawford is taking the de-
feat philosophically.
Fact is, the slump in the fifth
and eighth districts is thrice
more crushing than here in the
tenth and the flattering vote Mr..
Crawford received will serve as
lasting monument to his personal
popularity and strength of char
acter. The joke is after all, on
the republicans, who are as much
surprised at Grants election as
the democrats can possibly be.

CHARLEY GOT
HIS ''RATHERS. .


In accepting the nomination
for Lieutenant Governor at the
hands of the republican State
convention Charley Toms said he
would rather be defeated for
that Office on the republican tic
ket than to be elected Governor
on the democratic ticket. Returns
from the various counties indi-
cate his defeat by more than
5000 majority. So it appears
that he got his FATHERS" all
right, and congratulations are
now in order.
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1908-11-12

After all, the tenth district
democracy did pretty well in last
weeks election. considering the
surprising slump in the fifth and
eighth districts, due to the oppo-
sition of liquor advocates. In
this district the republicans made
q net gain of 1879 votes; in the
eighth, 2428;and $3.50 in the fifth,
over the vote cast. for their candi-
dates two years ago. The defeat
of A. L. Brooks in the fifth dis
trict, which gave w. w. Kitchin
in 1906, majority of 5414, was
the greatest surprise of all and
the wet Counties are largely
to blame for it. Local disaffec-
ton in Guilford contributed
somewhat to the result, but the
main trouble must be laid at the
door of John-Barley-Corn.
It is now perfectly apparent
that the anti-prohibition people,
as a rule, voted the republican
ticket and the democratic party
has been shot full of holes be-
cause it dared to givesits consent,
in the legislature, to a submis-
sion of the liquor question to the
people. Mark the prediction:
Saloons and still-houses are COM
ing back into North Carolina in
less than ten years and the re-
publican party will be response
BILE for it. 1t is the liquor party,
anyway, and longs to return to
it's flesh pots. The vote of its
so-caIled prohibition leaders in
this county at the recent election
shows that they are joined to
their idols, regardless of conse-
quences. They would do to
death the party which stands for
temperance and morality, by
supporting, and clothing with
power, men who have stood for
saloons all their lives. Away
with such hypocrisy! We do not
mean to intimate that all good
citizens are for prohibition, but
to direct attention to the incon-
sis tency practiced by hypocrit-
ical bosses in the republican
party. They expect to ride in
to power with the aid of money
furnished by the Liquor Dealers
Association, while making great
pretensions to education, mo-
rality and sobriety. Actions
speak louder than words. +"

Official returns show that John
G. Grant ran away behind Taft
in this, his native county and
forty votes behind the republican
State ticket. Thus it appears
that Henderson did not act so
badly, in one respect, at least.
