ton of Queen Humpty Dunphy was
the main attraction. The presentation
of the prize at midnight found Charles
Reynolds, holder of ticket No. 1745 the
winner, the presentation having been
made by little girl instead Of by
Mayor Eugene TauSick, as had been
announced. All branches of the car
nival were accorded no end of pat
ronage, and clerks and attendants
were kept on the jump all night.
An excellent program has been ar
ranged for tonight, and announce
ment has been made that one-half of
the gate receipts are to be turned
over to the relief of the Italian quake
sufferers. 1t is hoped that the at
tendance will be even greater than on
the opening night, when 2100 people
witnessed the coronation. Tomorrow
evening at IL o'clock the public we'd
ding will be the main attraction, the
young people being well known to
people of this city. AS a reward for
her courage in facing the crowd, the
BRIDE be will be presented with a
5000 diamond ring which is On dis

At Qee0Ia Lake.

The big hotel being erected at
Osceola Lake by John L. Orr, is
rapidly nearing completion, and
will be ready for occupancy by
June first.
Just now the building looks
like a bee hive with carpenters,
stone masons and electricians
swarming all over the big struc-
ture. The hotel will be equip
ped with every modern conven-
ience, including city water and
electric lights and Mr.. Orr is
anxious to get in communication
with some experienced hotel man
who will conduct the hostelry on
modern, up-to-date lines.
The dam is finished and the
water is ready to be turned on
at any time. The drive around
the lake is completed, and the
streets are laid out. The crowds
who visit Osceola Lake every
Sunday now is a faint indication
of the coming popularity of this
beautiful spot. when the blue
waters of the lake will reflect
the hluer sky above, and when
boats and music and gaily=attired
summer visitors will help to
make it almost a festival scene.
Osceola Lake is purely a Hen
dersonville enterprise. While
other towns have been talking
lakes, Hendersonyille has been
building them-and 0sceola Lake
is one of the most beautiful in
this country today,

TIGER CRUSADE:
NINE ARRESTS MADE
City Authorities Determined to Stop Illegal
Sale Of Liquor in Hendersonville.
Police Active in Getting Evidence.

The police are making it warm
for the blind tigers. During the
past two weeks .smany arrests
have been made of men charged
with selling liquor illegally. The
authorities are determined to
drive every blind tiger, speak
easy or hole in the wall out of
business and their vigorous cru
sade has resulted in unco9ering
many an hitherto unsuspected
private liquor dealer.
The following have been tried
and bound over to court on the
charge Of retailing:
John Kilgore, Pink Jones, Ed.
Laughter, Joe Mitchell, Press
Garren, Sylvester Brown, Will
liam Dill, Crick Skinner. Will
Corn will be tried today WED
nesday) before the Mayor.
The administration has been
somewhat criticised for it's meth
cd of obtaining the necessary
evidence to procure these con-
victions, but the results seems to
have justified the means.

For Goodness Sake Girls.

'Sh, don't say a word to the
ladies'! keep it quiet! NUNS the
word! Silence as the grave! But
in the window of the Henderson
vile Mercantile Co., there's just
the b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-e-s-t Nile
green suit you ever saw! It's a
dream-a poem-the product of a
poets heated brain, that's what
it is. And then there's a striped
Panama in smoke gray and an
other in tan chiffon Panama
say, girls, honest now, they're
enough to make a chronic invalid
get up and execute a Comanche
war dance! And of course they re
the newest style-no hips, you
know, and all that, but the colors
the material, the workmanship,
are just simply beautiful as we
have done remarked, and we
stand by that statement.

pleasing feature being Miss Ross
Faw's solo, ''Will.there be any

ROAD BILLS SLEEPING. !"
Rhodes Proposition Is Pre-,
fered To Ray Measure
By House Committee

Ihe controversy over the Hen
derson county road law propo
sition terminated, for the present
with House Committee on Public
Roads and Turnpikes last Wed
nesday afternoon, when the
Rhodes bill received a favorable
report and the Ray bill met with
an adverse decision. Mr.. Ray ad
vocated the passage of his pro
duction, while Messrs Cannon
and Rhodes opposed and spoke
for the favorable consideration
of the bill introduced by the lat.
ter. There was not a dissenting
vote cast in reaching this con-
clusion and the Rhodes bill after.
wards passed the House without
opposition. Mr.. Rhodes had
previously consented to re.
ference of his bill to the com
mittee so it would be considered
with the Ray bill when it reach
ed the House, and this act of
fairness on his part was ap-
plauded by many members, win
ming the representative from
Henderson a number of new
friends.
However the'end is not yet.
Thirteen days affords ample time
for new propositions to be thrust
forth, and l am informed some
are ''in. process of construc-
tion. One of the "old" bills
lies peacefully on the table in
the Senate and the other reclines
resplessly in a pigeon hole" on
the House side of the chamber,
with an unfavorable report writ
ten across its face. Under the
rules of each house, if I am cor
rectly informed, it will take a
two-thirds vote to recall either
from its resting place. 1t does
not seem probably that the
House will pass any road bill
over the protest of Mr.. Rhodes.
since it has already put itself on
record in favor of the measure
he first presented. Bills of this
character are not considered
political measures, anyway, and
democratic Representatives are
disposed to consider the views of
republican members upon mat
sers of local significance.
1t will be recalled that a synopsis
of Mr.. Rays bill was published
in the Hustler several weeks
ago, without comment, and after
calling the attention of the peo-
pie to the provisions of the pro-
posed measure the writer made
the following statement edito-
rally;
Suggestions offered by this
newspaper would be miscon-
strued and the editor prefers to
go over the matter in person
with the author of the bill, rather
than appear to bee after him
with a sharp stick" in the public
prints.
And this course was pursued, !,
in a friendly and conciliatory
manner for two weeks. The un-
democratic feature of selecting a
supervisor for four years at a
salary which would not be salts
factory to the people was pointed
out; also objection was made to
the unusual powers with which
said official would be vested but
to no avail. And when petitions
signed by hundreds of the best
democrats in the county. accom-
panied by letters beseeching me
to oppose the passage of the bill,
began to pile in, I did not
