knowledge That Every Coed House
keeper Should Have.

Every household needs disinfecting,
and the proper use Of the ordinary de-
odorizers is knowedse that every
good hOusekeeper should have. Not

house pleasanter TO live in, but they
also make it healthful SO many good
disinfectants are on the market at the
present time that there is a wide
choice for the careful woman. They
are classed under three headings;
Disinfectants which purify the wa
ter, air, clothes. etc; antiseFtics that
arrest puuefactiOn, and deCdoTizers
that destroy disagTeeab,e smells.
Heat, of course, is a powerful disin-
fectant, and boiling water may be used
when it is practicable and possible to

took place near his old home,
where he had lived always, oc-

Mr.. Pittillo was about " years

shot off at Missionary Ridge.
Throughout the war he was not
ed for his gallantry and bravery,
and had the confidence and love
of officers and men. He leaves
a wife and five children and the
community is the poorer through
the death of this gallant wearer

mon effort, make Hendersonville
in a few years time the greatest
resort city in the south and then
the greatest in the nation. If
the people will believe with me
that this can be done and will
join with me in the effort, it will
be done.
Our natural attractions give us
advantages which cannot be TAX
en- from us, and make opportu-
mites which, if neglected, we
are hurt; if cultivated, we are
enriched. An investigation will
show, that Hendersonville has
added to her natural attractions
more artificial advantages than
any other town of its size and
ability. We are all proud of
what we have done. This pride
should have a good and not a bad
influence, if it has the effect of
making us contented and stops
us from putting forth a greater
effort, and what is now said and
thought of Hendersonville viii
be thought and said of some 9TH
er place. If we realize that we
are at a crisis, and that by mac
ton we will lose that which we
have gained, while by energy
and public spirit we will forge
ahead even to greater things,
and then put forth concerted ac-
ton, our realizations will be great
er than our enthusiasts have
dreamed. Lethargy is the dan
ger that threatens Henderson
vile.
The time to prerpae for the fu-
ture is the present. Let us not
be satisfied with what has been
done and sit quietly down and
wait, but rather letl us bestir
ourselves and do it now. The
sooner the means are devised to
bring the attention of the
country at large to the many at
fractions, and delights that we
have to offer, the greater will be
the number of tourists reached
and the more our town will be
talked, and talk of Henderson
vile can be but for good; in fact
ITO name her is but to praise
her. I"
The energy put forth by our
people last Fall, winter and
Spring in advertising Henderson
vile, has produced one great
thing, that is, the best all-around

country speaking to ignorant
people. ]" I wish to say in the
spirit of fairness and truth that
the charge is not true, and | do
not believe that fair minded men
can believe it after hearing a
statement.o of the facts.
Mr.. Crawford said, in substance,
that his opponent had departed
from a time honored custom that
had prevailed in the. district of
meeting in joint debate before all
the people. Mr.. Crawford re
ferred to the great debate be-
tween Vance and Settle and to. all
the other debates between Con
gressional candidates down to
this year. He said that Grant
could not face the issues of a
Republican panic, but that he
was skulking around by himself
bushwhacking, and trying to de-
ceive and fool the people, think
ing that the country people are
ignorant. but he will find out
that they are not ignorant and
the best judges Of fakirs in the
world.
Mr.. Crawford has been mis-
represented, whether intention
ally or not I am unable to say.

Dear Sir Replying to your IN
quiry of yesterday, would say
that I have noticed the charge
made to the effect that you said
in your Waynesville speech on the
4th inst, SThat Grant was out
speaking to ignorant people in
the country and would further
say that | was present taking
notes for the Courier and paid
strict attention to all you said.
AS we stated recently in an edi-
torial replying to this charge, we
state here, namely; that you said
that John Grant was going
around in the country districts
and talking to those he thinks
are ignorant, but who. as he will
find out, are not ignorant, but are
the best judges of a fakir in the
world. The charge does you
great injustice.
Respectfully,

gantic development proposition
of the old Hanckel property near
this city. Work is now actually
progressing on the lake, a large
force Of men, with teams and
machinery, being actively at
work.
Briefly, the plan is to form a
cooperative summer colony in
the mountains. Al membership
for ten years will cost $50, pay
able in monthly installments of
|$15 each. The money derived
from the first two hundred mem
berships, $50, 900 will be used in
the development of the property.
The lake and buildings will be
completed by next season.
Al pnember's privileges are:
the privilege of residence; he
may board at the club house at
actual cost. The club house will
really be a high-class summer
hotel, or he may live in one of
the modern cottages to be built
and take his meals at the club
house. These cottages will have
BATH telephone, electric lights,
etc. Then there will be the use
of tennis courts, baseball grounds,
golf links, the drives and bride
paths of the estate.
To each member Of the first

Mr.. Crawford's Statement.

Editor of The Citizen:
Republican politicians who were
unwilling for Mr.. Grant to meet
me in joint debate are charging
that I said in my speech at
Waynesville that Grant was
outspeaking to ignorant country
people and was trying to fool
them. = It seems to me that
the charge is too ridiculous to
quire notice. Nine tenths of the
voters in this district are men
who live in the country precincts
and alarge per cent of them vote
for me. Three fourths of the
voters who heard me at Waynes-
vile live in the country. And
the suggestion that / would de-
iberately offend a class of citi-
zens who are my personal and
political friends is absurd.
made no such statement at
Waynesville or elsewhere, and I
feel sure that no one will assume
the personal responsibility of say
ing that I did, and / am confident
that no one who knows me will
believe that I made such state
ment.
I inclose statements of r. A.
L. Hyatt, Clerk Of Court of Hay
wood County, Ex-Sherif D. r

pie judge as to the value of it.
