SVAE THE trees.

The beautiful sycamore trees
on Main street stand in eminent
danger of destruction unless the
city authorities take immediate
steps to save them. Most of the
trees are now literally covered
with bark lice, which if left in
undisturbed possession of their
prey this winter, will undoubted-
ly succeed in killing the trees
next year. The lice bore into
the bark of the trees and by next
Spring will have multiplied by
the million.
The trees should be sprayed
with a mixture of salt, sulphur
and lime, or a mixture of kero-
sine emulsion, and only quick
action will save these ornaments
to Main street.

In twenty-five years R. P.
Sears, of the mail order firm of
Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago,
has accumulated a fortune esti-
mated at $25. O,OOO-a million
dollars for every year since he
started. This is remarkable,
not to say astounding and the
more surprising because the
laboring classes throughout the
country have contributed largely
to this big concerns bank &C
count, instead of keeping their
money at home. The local mer-

THE PEARSON-EWART CON.
TROVERSY.

The Honorable Richmond Pear
son, one time minister to Greece,
is in town. Mr.. Pearson says he
is gathering statistics of recent
congressional elections. Mr..
Pearson will lremain in town for
several days. -
In the Gazette-News of the
18th appeared an interesting in
terview with Mr.. Pearson.
Judge Ewart's reply to this
interview appeared incthe Citizen
and Charlotte Observer of last
Monday. It's length prohibits
its appearance in The Hustler.
Judge Ewart said, in part:
''The broad intimation that he
[Pearson] was retired by Mr..
Taft because of the fact that
Congressman Grant, Morehead
and Cowles urged the appoint
ment of the brilliant and versatile
Settle to a position in the diplo-
matte service, rather than insist
ing upon the Presidents refusal
to accept the resignation of Mr..
Pearson, in view of all the facts,
does grave injustice to these
gentlemen"
The Citizen, Goth, says:
Not having any particular in
terest in the factional fights and
internal warfare that are surely
wrecking what little organization
the republican party in the State
had, the Citizen neither condemns
nor commends the various senti-
ments expressed in the judges
interview, but we are wondering
what effect Judge Ewart's classi-
fication of a certain portion of
Buncombe's republicanism as
''jackals" will have on the
future prospects of the gentle
man whom the judge champions.
To be exact, and, Of course, fair,
Judge Ewart does not say that
the members of the little coterie
of Asheville Republicans" are all
jackals. He says they are half
human and half jackal."
The Gazete-News says:
1t will be seen, from a perusal
of the Ewart interview, that the
Grant forces still feel that it is
good politics to create the i'm
preston that Asheville Republi-
cans made a futile attempt to
knife the Republican nominee at
the last election, and he writes,
for consumption in other counties
of that coterie of Asheville Re-
publicans, half human and half
jackal. - Asheville Republicans
now have their classification;
they are from the Grant point of
view half jacket, although they
made a little better showing, we
believe-for Grant, than was
made in any other county.

a.grieVance against the govern

the stunts for Uncle Sam at the
Court of the Athenians he was
peremptorially-and without ap-
parent excuse-recalled to the
United States and thereby
hangs a tale. " Just why this
polished and scholarly diplomat
should have been unceremo-
inously fired" from the service
TO one seems to know. But he
was permitted to send in his resig-
nation all the same, and feeling
the lack of proper representation

Senator Burton of Ohio, instead
of putting it under the watchful
care of one John Gillespie Grant,

provoked comment from which
has emanated rumors galore.

in the public prints, of character

own peculiar and attractive style
this retired statesman deals
some vital thrusts against Presi-
dent Taft for ignoring the re-
publicans of North Carolina in
the selection of men to positions
of importance and incidentally
whacked John G. Grant over
the head for meekly submitting
the republican party to such
humiliation.
FITS unfortunate, thinks Mr.. |
Pearson, that not a voice was
raised in congress against this
unseemly act of the President
and he, for one, declines to kiss
the hand that smites him.
This open rebellion on the part |
of Mr.. Pearson and the apparent |

in the republican camp

opportunity to play even with
President Taft for ordering his
discharge from the diplomatic

The officials of the South Shore rail-
road at this village have received au-
thority from headquarters to have cleo
ric lights put into the L'Anse depot.
This is good news and shows that the
South Shore officials are always willing
to see improvements when the funds
will permit. Now that business has
picked up they have shown that they
are willing to meet halfway on good
propos itions, and wiring will soon be
done, so that we will have a lighted
road from here to the depot.
This road has always been bad high
way and lights are needed there as well
as on our main streets. 1t will be re-
membered that poles were placed for
this Improvement more than year ago,
but the wiring was not completed on
account of the railroad refusing the
juice
We are satisfied now that the above
decision has been reached and wish to
extend to the officials our best compli-
ments.

A Pleasant Birthday Party.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Sands
was the scene of a pleasant entertain
ment Wednesday afternoon, from three
to five o'clock, the occasion being the
fourth birthday of their son, Theil.
Many mothers of little ones and about
forty children gathered together at the
home on the above afternoon and pro-
ceeded to enjoy themselves in various
games and pastimes. During the after
noon refreshments were served, the
feature being the birthday cake, which
was beautifully decorated with candles
In the cake there were three prizes
which were won by Eva Hooke, Mil
dred Granger and Andrew Allen.
The children enjoyed themselves to
the fullest extent at this party and bear
many kind thought for their enter
tainers of the afternoon.
