The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1910-12-22

Because Postmaster Willis g..
Briggs led a bolt from the
Wake county republican conven-
ton last summer and forced a de-
cision of the delegation to the
state convention, he being Dun
can supporter for chairman, the
Butler orehead faction of that
party is trying to defeat him for
re-appointment. Senator Carter.
of Montana, a friend of Butler,
has caused the nomination OF
Briggs to be held up and More
head actually requested the presi-
dent to withdraw it from the SEN
ate. This has not been done, how
ever, and the issue will have to be
fought out before the senate conn
mittee. It is a fight between Dun-
can and Butler, the outcome OF
which will be watched with In
terest.

and the representative at the Con-
vention whose name was jesse
Reed, though not able to "talk
much . has strong face and made
a good impression by his gentle
manly bearing.
We are glad to give pastor Cav
tina ma warmer welcome than ever
to North Carolina after hearing
what the people of Hendersonvills
say about him. He is delightful
gentleman, as well as a splendid
preacher, and his coming among
us has added immensely to the
strength of our North Carolina
ministry. zrE
We said last week that tho
Townsville church paid our pas
tors way to- Hendersonville, but
that was only half the story; the
Orphanage church brought him
back.
The papers persisted in printing
Editor Moore's name as "Rev. q.
G. Moon.'' Like the moon, Mr..
Moore shines, but unlike it, he
shines all the time.
Our readers will be glad to hear
that Mrs. Boone is quite well and
as cheerful and kindly as ever.
She is living in her pretty home In
Hendersonville.
Hon. M. Z. Shipman was at
home, and being a past master In
the business Of handling the enter
tainment end, his service was IN
valuable.
We were too late to hear the
opening sermon by DR.. J. j. Hail.
of Fayetteville, but we heard IL
commended in the highest terms

It was rather peculiar that no
body forgot and addressed PreSl-
dent Dowd as ''Mr. Speaker.
Only a few ladies attended the
Convention but they were OF the
queen quality.

FEDERAL PENSION ROLL.

This republican congress will
not appropriate money for the
establishment of those public
Buildings authorized In various
states by the last session, but the
house committee has decided to
spend t15s, $4,000 for pensions.
There should be no objection to
slowing . reasonable pension to
every really deserving Federal
DoAdier, but the constantly in
ereasing List of government bene-
factors. forty-fVe years after
Lee's surrender at Appomattox, is
unjustifable and unexplainable.
Since April 1865. the government
hasteKpended e4,07S.O56,570 for
pensions and the end Is not yet.
There is no doubt but that thou

Fount" and How Firm Found


alton"
There were many distinguished
visitors. and an unusually long list
of new pastors. We are always
glad to welcome these new work.
ers to our state. North Carolina
is deeply indebted to her sister
states for sending us so many of
their strong sons. We are glad
to honor them, and hope we shall
have many more like them; at the
same time we may be forgiven for
hoping that our own. sons who are
of any account win not leave
North Carolina.
The Convention closed on Fri
day at noon. Up to the very last.
the interest was sustained, though
it was pity that one or two of the
speakers had so much to say about
Hendersonville's victuals. It was
not the food the people of that fine
town gave us that was SO rich and
valuable-that can be had any
where it was the spirit of loving
and thoughtful consideration of
our comfort, and the glow of vel
come that lighted their faces that
was so beautiful and gracious.
It was a great Convention. Sew
eral times we were carried to the
mountain top of spiritual joy and
tide of enthusiasm was steady and
strong. There was not a single
gladness. And all the time the
dull moment. There was no drag
ging. A large volume of impor-
tant business was transacted, and
for the most part without undue
haste. One session only was over
crowded, that of Thursday night
when three subjects were consid-
cred any one of which should have
had the whole evening.
We go next year to the Brown
Memorial church of Winston
Salem. Pastor Lumpkins, who
has come to be one of our trusted
leaders, gave a broad welcome to
all, and while we can not quite
hope that Hendersonville 5 record
as an entertainer can be equalled,
Winston-Sa1em will come as near
the mark as any town in North
Carolina.

THE STATES POPULATION.

1u6 CENSUS report recently
completed gives the state of North
Carolina q population aggregating
2.2O6,2s7, or the eighth from the
top in the number of people resid-
ing within her border. She has
no large cities, hence her popula-
ton is to be found largely In the
rural districts. And it is made
up of sturdy American citizens
as comparatively few immingiants
have found their way into Tar
Heeldom during the past ten
years. Occupying the eighth
place among the other fortyeight
states speaks mighty well for
North Carolina. Her population
is greater than South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, or Maryland,
with the pretentious cities, and
steadily increases with each pas
sing year. The great divirsity of
soil and variety of climate, togeth-
er with the progressive spirit that
has taken a firm hold upon her
people are responsible for the fav-
orable conditions existing here at
this time and which will continue
to swell her population as the
years come and go. Congratula-
ting the state upon its material
increase in population during the
last decade, the Raleigh News and
Observer says in conclusion:
FThe census figures show that
North Carolina made a gain Of 16.5
lper cent in population during the
past ten years, and in the proceed
ing ten years, between 1890 anC
1900, it was IL per cent. The pop
ulation of the State is now 2,206,
1887. The gain for these two de
cades shows a steady and norma
increase which is good for an agri
cultural State that has received
no influx of population from othe
States, and which has furnish
ed more emigrants than immi
grants. The lure of tn
West and the big cities has at
tracted North Carolinians 70
many years and prevented tina
increase of population desired. I
