The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1908-05-07

ITO the farmers Of North Car
DINA | would now appeal to re-
peat the deed of their fellows of
Massachusetts, a hundred years
ago and more. A worldwide
movement is now on against in
temperance and its powers of
darkness. On the other side of
earth the Celestial Empire of
China is making a determined,
heroic effort to shake off the gall
ing chains of the opium habit,
one of the worst forms of intern
perance. In far-away England
the growth of temperance senti-
ment is only less pronounced than
here. In our own land, North,
South, East and West are agitat-
ed as never before.
but North Carolina, remem-
Der, is first State in the present
Temperance revival to vote by bal
lot on prohibition. In all the
other states the question has
been decided by legislative act,
and now the whiskey interests
are claiming that North Caro-
lina's vote will show that the peo-
pie, the country people, are not be-
hind this movement of their lead
ers. North Carolina therefore, is
the touch stone. Its voice is eager
ly awaited in all parts of America,
the reverbation may even reach
to Europe and Cathay, and if our
rural population will but exert it
self to the utmost, it may be said
of North Carolina in 1908 as it was
said of Massachusetts, in TITS that
Here once the embattled farm
ers stood
And fired the shot heard round
the world
Seen in it's large significance there
fore, the May 18th election af-
fords not only the occasion for a
crushing rebuke to the most vio-
lent recent insult to the farmers
of this state, but it is also the SUI
preme moral opportunity offered
them in this generation.
That they will prove themselves
worthy sons of their sires' when
the test comes | have no doubt"
The clarion call of Mr.. Poe is
timely and to the point. His es-
innate of the farmers of this
great State is not over drawn
and we firmly believe that they
will register their approval of
temperance, sobriety, in no un-
certain tones on the 18th of
May, 1908. They, too, prefer the
school-room to the bar-room and
the industrial plant to the still
house.

Adams and his henchmen were
wise in securing instructions for
him in the county conventions.
But for the fact that the hands
OF delegates were tied the present
chairman's head would now be
dangling from the belt of Mary
Ann Butler. Doodlers in the
various counties had anticipated
Butler and wisely decided to take
no chances. They have learned
something of his fighting qualities
before meetings of the kind they
were self-appointed to attend and.
feared to meet the willy Sampson
ian face to face. 1t is related of
Chairman Adams that he left the
platform Immediately upon as
certaining that Butler had sue
ceeded in defeating his resolution
concerning the appointment of
certain committees and did not
again show himself in the hall.
But then, they are birds of a
feather just the same.

sired information

Every farmer in the south must
use judgment and make a study
Individually of this great in
dustry. The time has passed for
the careless and slip-shod way
in all farming, and the man who
succeeds must read and make in
experiments; for the
reason that what will suit in one
section may not in another. By
proper care and study the farmer
of the south can save millions of
dollars that are paid out each
year for horses, mules, cattle,
hogs and sheep, bring their farms
to a high state of cultivation.

MUST DESTROY The TICKS.

Before the cattle industry can
be made a success there is one
thing the southern farmer must
do; that is, destroy the cattle
ticks.
Don't say that it cannot be
done. It has been done, and this
is being clearly demonstrated by
the department of agriculture in
North Carolina, in cooperation
with the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Six years ago there were only
counties in North Carolina
free from the pest; today there
are forty-six counties, all above
the United State quarantine line.
This tick is a great drain on
the blood of cattle, and cattle that
have meyer had them are subject
to Texas fever, andhundreds of
them all over the south die an
nually. (The department of ag-
riculture at Washington, or DIR.

OF some thrilling experiences on the voy-

AS a further evidence of the move

which have been idle nearly a year
This company has had 200 locomotives

termed. since last November.
This means that so much of the

and that the engines were given a
coating of whitehead paint 10 protect
them from rust. Most of these have
been brought out. their dress of lead
removed and put in use on the lines
in the East and the West.
For every additional engine operated
an engineman and fireman. as well as

means employment for many who have
been idle during the business depres-
sion. Tho company new has but H.
600 cars laying idle, nc against 10000

several hours. Of suspense. in which
she sought In vain the car on which
she had been a passenger.
Mrs. Baird discovered her loss soon
after she left the car at Parkerave.
and made frantic effort to signal the
departing car, but II was already be-
yond hailing distance and sped on.
She waited at the corner for the car
to return, but several came along in
string and 1t was impossible for her
to pick out the right one.
In desperation she reported the loss
to the police and Detectives Allen and
Parker were assigned to the case.
They located the conductor who had
been In chareg OF the car when Mrs.
Baird was a passenger, but he had
seen nothing Of the purse. He had
been relieved on reaching the barns
after this trip, and then ensued a
search for the conductor who had re-
lieved him. The detectives were at
the Jefferson barns when he came In
from his run at midnight, and, to the
great relief Of all concerned, he had
the purse with contents intact, safely
tucked away In his inside pocket. He
promptly turned 1t In to the Office
and the officers bore 1t in triumph TO
the thankful Mrs. Baird.
