The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1909-02-11

How any democratic member
of either branch of the General
can consider for a
moment the ACCESSIBILITY of pass
ing the antitrust bills introduced
by Senator Lockhart and Repre-
sentative Weaver, of Buncombe,
we are unable to understand.
The duty of every democrat is
plain, made so in the platform
adopted in Charlotte last June.
Republicans may do as they
please. but democrats are pledged
by platform declarations, state
and national, to support an effec-
tive antitrust law. They have
no recourse in the matter, if we
understand plain English.

Considerable opposition has
developed to the proposed new
road law for this county and
petitions, literally signed, have
been forwarded to Senator Mills
and Representative Rhodes ask
ing that the bill be not passed.
The citizens of the county, re-
CARELESS of political affiliations,
are up in arms" against the
measure and no stone will be left
unturned to prevent it's passage.
The claim is made that it is a
very dangerous proposition, in
that t0o.muchp power is vested in
one man and his salary is placed
at an exorbitant figure. The
Sam Justice Law" with some
amendments, seems to
meet the approval of the people
generally and it might be we'll to
offer it as a substitute for the
one now pending, which does not
seem to please the citizens of the
county at all.

be a man selected by one individ-
ual without any consultation
whatever with the taxpayers of
the county. 3. The bill smacks
too much of one-man power, and
is intended evidently to benefit
two or three men at the expense
of the people. 4. There is no
way provided in said bill for the
removal of the supervisor, or any
other officer or employee who
might be employed or appointed
under the bill, for non-perform-
ance of duty or improper conduct
in office. 5. The bill gives the
supervisor power to employ an
unlimited number of men at any
and all sorts of salaries, and the
people are powerless to help
themselves. 6. The proposed
law has never been considered
by our people, not by any mass
meeting of representatives of the
tax payers and citizens of the
county. The people ought to
have an opportunity to see
whether they want this bill to
become a law or not, and as stat
ed, they have not had an oppor-
tunity to see and know what the
bill contains. For these and
many other reasons, we respect
fully petition your honorable body
to defeat the passage of said
bill"

Notice.

To Mary E. Black. You will
please take notice that at a Sher-
ifs sale, on the first Monday in
May, 1908, | purchased those two
acres of land situated in Green
River Township, Henderson coun-
ty, State of North Carolina, list
ed for the years 1906 and 1907
for taxation in your name and
took the proper certificate of pur-
chase from the tax collector for
the same. You will further take
notice that on the first Monday
in May, 1903, / will demand of
the Sheriff a proper deed for the
said land, unless the same be re-
deemed by you prior to said date.

The present legislature has put
to sleep all bills introduced by
republicans providing for the
election of school superintend-
ents and boards of education by
popular vote. It is pointed out
that a change of policy would re-
suit in about twenty-five counties
electing men who would be out
of harmony with the educational
policy of the State. Thus, as
can readily be seen, the school in
terests in republican counties
would be retarded. So the con-
clusion to- let well-enough alone
is an eminently wise and proper
one.

With the aid of twenty-five re-
publicans in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Friday, Jan. %,
Mr.. Graham, of Granville county,
succeeded in cutting down the
salary bill passed by the Senate
allowing the Commissioner of
Labor and Printing 81. 500 a year
and adopting an amendment fix
ing the same at $4,000. Every
republican, except Nh. Rhodes of
this county, went on record
against dignifying the depart
ment which represents the labor
ing people of the State and put
ting it on basis with the other
State departments. Mr.. Graham
made speech full of inaccuracies
which misled a number of men,

Unnecessary special legislation
consumes about half the time of
every legislature. Nearly all of
it could be covered by a few
general laws. Most of these
special laws result from party or
fractional fights in the various

AS TO THE ROAD BILLS.

Representative Rhodes seems
to be trying his hand on a new
road law. He has introduced a
comprehensive bill in the House
and succeeded in getting a favor
able report on it from the COM
mittee on Public Roads and
Turnpikes last Friday evening.
His bill is really the "Sam JUS
tice law with the Objectionable
features eliminated. Mr.. A. Can
non, who was in Raleigh at the
time lhaving gone there to at
tend a meeting of the legislative
committee of the Board of Agri-
culture, of which he is a mem
ber) appeared before the House
committee in support of Mr..
Rhodes road bill and the two,
together, seem to have impress
ed the members present very
favorably, judging from the &C
ton taken. Mr.. Cannon says he
also appeared before a Senate
committee in opposition to the
law proposed by MI. Ray, but no.
action had been taken on it when
he left Raleigh. Mr.. Cannon
shares in the general opinion
here that the taxation feature is
exorbitant. It seems almost I'M
iversally to be conceded to be a
very impracticable measure and
would be the most unpopular
road law ever imposed upon the
people of this county. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY a most remarkable pro-
duction and most everybody we
have heard mention the matter
is unalterably opposed to it's pas
sage. Petitions, of which the
following is a copy, have been
literally signed and forwarded
to Senator Mills:
To The General Assembly of
North Carolina. Session 1909:
I'VE the undersigned citizens
and taxpayers of Henderson
County, respectfully petition
your honorable body not to pass
the bill now introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Ray, entitled An
Act to Provide for the Working,
Making and Maintaining the
Public Roads and Bridges in
Henderson County," for the fol-
lowing reasons: l. Because our
people are already burdened with
taxation, and the proposed law
makes a levy of II IL cents on
the one hundred dollars this year
compulsory, and next year, &C
cording to the provisions of the
bill, a levy of whatever amount
an appointed supervisor says
must be made. 2. The bill pro-
vides that one man shall be sup
ervisor at a salary of TWELVE
UND AND FIFTY DOL
LARS a year for a period of four
years, and gives him full and
complete control over the entire
manner of making and working
the roads and the building and
keeping up of the bridges of the
county, and the operation of a
chaingang, and as above, stated,
practically what amount of tax
shall be levied for these pur-
poses, and the said supervisor to

Generals office. Jackson found he
was from Democratic Ellis county and
engaged him in conversation and George
told him some eye openers. This being
the new city of the End class, the ad-
ministration feels proud of our little
city and the Attorney General wrote
sharp letter to Mayor Bissing that
was an eye-opener. He inquired why
the city allowed it's citizens insulted
by the boys catcalling? What was
the matter with our city marshal?
Why our streets were wilderness of

new city and make it pleasant place

Three Wards

Council has very sensibly divided the
new city of the End class into three
wares. All south of the track is No. /,
North of the track and east of Chest
nut No. 2, all north of the track and
west of Chestnut No. g. The election
comes on Wednesday September %,
1909, to elect two councilmen and two
school directors from each ward and
the other city officers. All must be
registered to vote and registration can
now take place at the City Clerks of
fee. Women can vote at this election,
but no one can vote unless they are
registered. This move to make this
city of the End class is an important
one and our citizens should look Ground
and select the best Mayor and Council,
who have no special interests at stake,
no grudges to carry out, but will be
for the WHOLE people and the CITY's
BEST interests.
