johnson Strikes the Keynote"

! A Johnson. governor OF Minnesota
and next president Of the United States
if the national democratic party has
any sense at all, says In a special to
the New York World that tariff re-
form will be the paramount issue In
the presidential struggle next year.
He believes that the end of the COM
ing year will find tariff reform accom-
plished, or we'll under way. He says
fatty that congressman must change
the tariff or the people will change
the congressman. He interprets the
present unrest which has cost the
country SO much is due to the special
privileges which have been granted to
the trusts, the legitimate but evil pro-
geny Of the high protective tariff, and
that these privileges must be with
drawn If the business and commercial
interests are to be conserved. He does
not leave his position as to the great
corporations in doubt, but says frank
ly that these corporations must real
ize that they are as amenable to the
law as the private citizen-News and

This mixture, writes one authority in

REGULATE The Autos.

Main street was meant for
something else besides a speed
way for owners of automobiles.
While the owners of autos have
every right which other users of
the street have, they have no
more. The reckless disregard of
public safety shown by some
owners of the devil wagons" is
helping to keep alive, the pre-
judice of the average horse own
er and pedestrian against them.
The speed of automobiles should
be limited by the city ordinance
and then the city police should
ENFORCE that ordinance.

Potato For A Pen Wiper.

It's funny how the minds of
men get fastened to a certain
idea, or vegetable, and can't
leave it. even when their profess
ion or occupation changes.
There's Cashier c.. E. Brooks
of the Citizens Bank for instance.
He's an expert on peaches and
potatoes. He ought to be, by this
time. He's got a great big Irish
tuber on that little marble slab in
the bank where he rings the
silver dollars to see if they are
counterfeit, and he uses the po-
tato for a pen wiper. You can
generally see a varied assort-
ment of pens sticking upright in
it, and Mr.. Brooks says there's
nothing equal to it for that pur-
pose.

The dramatic and musical reci-

it's excellent program and the
manner in which it was render

very gratifying. Those who at

Southern Railway Whistles

Property owners near the depot
are loud and bitter in their COM
plants against the Southern
Railway for allowing the un-
necessary blowing of engine
whistles and ringing of bells at
the depot. One properly owner
there, a former country official
declares it to be a serious nui-
sance and an entirely unneces-
sary one. He cites an instance,
the other day, of an engine bell
on a passenger train which kept
ringing all the time the train was
at the depot.

Two ChaUtauQua Attractions.

Manager Blythe, of the Chau-

nor pains when it came to secur-
ing attractions for the Hender-
sonville Chautauqua on the 18th.
One of the star attractions are
Capt. Jack Crawford, the Poet
Scout, a man who has made his
tory. He is one of the most pict-
uresque characters today on the
platform. He is full of wit and
his marvellous experiences are
thrilling in the extreme.
Another attraction which will
draw people from the surround
ing towns is Rev. William Spur
geon, of London, who comes to
Hendersonville with a message
of helpfulness and with a repu-
tation all his own.

A RunlOr.

efforts to trace the talk to it's
source have failed, even tho
the Daily Hustler has 'steen of
it's bright young men tracing it
up, and most every woman in
town is talking about it, so what
harm can there be in the Daily
Hustler repeating it, even if it
is conversant with the laws of

ple in dark corners whose faces
pale at the terrible news they
repeat below their breath, that
Hendersonville has a GREAT
BIG CROWD this season, three
times as many people as any other
town in the mountains!
But for goodness sake don't
say any thing about it, you know.

Picnic at Chimney Rock.

Large crowds of people gather
ed last Friday and Saturday at
Chimney Rock for the picnic and
tournament. People came from
all sections of Buncombe, Polk,
Henderson and Rutherford coun-
ties by the hundreds. The
many hotels in the Gap were
taxed to their capacity, while
numerous parties brought their
tents and provisions and camped
out on the surrounding hills.
Though the weather was unfavor-
able, all the attractions, such as
the tournament and fire works,
were pulled off according to pro-
gram. There were dances and
good music at several of the ho-
tells, adding greatly to the pleas
ure of the occasion.
In spite of falling rain, parties
made up of boysand girls climbed
the mountains, scaled the Chin
ney, explored the several caves,
viewed the falls and cascades,
and journeyed to the bottomless
pools. No matter .how great
proportion their appetites assum-
ed, due to the unusual amount of
exercise they were taking and to
the light, wholesome air they
were breathing, they ::were sat
isfied with the best that this
mountain country affords, and
that means all that the most fas-
tidious gourmand could desire.
The crowd was jolly, good
natured and peaceable, and there
was absolutely nothing which
occurred to interrupt the merry
round of pleasures. Everyone
left glad that he had come and
resolved to return at the first
opportunity The gentlemen who
undertook the picnic and man
aged it so successfully are to be
commended for their enterprise
and their unfailing kindness and
attentions at all times. .-Ruther-

Concerning our Town And
Others.

A representative of the Hust-
Naspent Tuesday and Wednesday
nASheville. While there he kept
Eeyes alert to the attractions,
the growth. and the number of
summer visitors there, and all
tht little things that pertain to a
huStling town.
It has often been said that
Hendersonville contains as many
if not more visitors than Ash
eville. If one can look with an
imprejudiced eye he will at once
notice by far the greatest hust-
ling activity in our town. The
crowd of gazers standing on the
square and that's where you
will find visitors if they are in
Asheville-is nothing in size to
the number of people seen on
Main street in Hendersonville.
furthermore, Asheville is not en-
jOying the number of visitors
that was there last August. When
we closely observe the attractions
Of our city and those Of Asheville
we can easily account for the
diference.q They boast of the
greatness of their town, but
from all appearances they are
doing nothing to entertain their
visitors.
They have a little attraction at
only one theater, a little at the
skating rink, and a little at River
side Park, and there these
amusements are only at night.
The writer met a citizen Of
Waynesville in Asheville and he
Instantly remarked about the ac-
tvity of this city, it's conference,
horse show, chautauqua and other
good things that go to make
the progressiveness of Hender-
SOnVille-the greatest resort ia
the South.
