GROW BROOM CORN !!

1t is probable the Retail Mer-
chants Association and indivi-
dual members of the organiza-
tion will offer substantial cash
prizes for the best acre of broom
corn grown in Henderson county
this year.
That broom corn may be grown
here proftably, is beyond ques-
ton, In Shipp & Ewbank's
office are some splendid speci-
mems grown here. 1t is a very
profitable crop and the demand
is almost unlimited.
Capitalists are in readiness to
build a broom factory in Hender-
sonville if they are assured of
sufficient raw material. Many
progressive farmers have agreed
to cultivate broom corn this year
and it is hoped that a sufficient
number may be interested to
make the factory a certainty.
It's a money crop, there's a
home market for it, and if you
are at all interested see Mr.. E.
w. Ewbank, in the rear of the
Citizens Bank, who is in a posi-
ton to give all information de-
sired.

filter ORDERED; Be
READY BEFORE June |

A $4,000 filtering plant with a
daily capacity of 100000 gallons
of water has been ordered by the
city, and will be in operation en-
or before June 1st.
The plant is guaranteed to re-
move SO per cent of all impuri-
ties in the water. AS the source
of HendersonviIle's water supply
is mountain springs, that ought
to make the towns drinking
water practically absolutely pure.
The filter plant will cost about
SO, $50, the installation, etc,
about 1850. The apparatus
fills two cars and should be here
soon. The filter will be located
Above the dam, all water passing
through it before being stored in
the reservoir. The operation Of
the plant is practically auto
matte, complies with State Board
of Health requirements and was
purchased from the Roberts
Filter Co., of Philadelphia.

JOHN ORR AND THE DAILY.

Put me down for a subscrip-
tion to the Daily Hustler. Iknow
it takes nerve 10 even consider
establishing a daily newspaper
in a town the size of Hender-
sonville, but with the hearty CO.
operation of the community it
will do so much to benefit, | be-
lieve it will be a success. Hen
dersonville needs daily paper.
1t will do more to advertise
the town than any other enter
prise possible. All we need is
advertising to make the town a
city of ten thousand. / hope you
will succeed.
This is the kind of talk that
counts, that puts ginger into the
men trying to promote the es-
tablishment' of a daily paper
here.
With cooperation all things
are possible, even starting a daily
paper, a live daily paper, in a
town of five thousand.
Publicity means progress for
a city as for a business enter
prise, and a daily newspaper is
the very best means of secur-
ing that publicity.
AS Mr.. Orr says no other en-
terprise is more essential to the
development Of Hendersonville
than a daily paper. 1t is a gigan-
tic undertaking and only through
the cooperation of all will it be
possible.

The County Tax Sale.

It's strange, but many peo-
pie neglect to pay their taxes
until their property is actually
advertised. There were 391
names on the original delinquent
county list, but V. c. V. Shep-
herd, the efficient tax collector,
says but a small portion of these
will actually permit their property
to be sold on May End.

DEMOCRATS NOMINATE
STANDARD BEARERS
THE TICKET
NJ. N. SHEPHERD
C. S. FULLBRIGHT
GEORGE JUSTICE

No cut-and-dried program, no
pre-arranged slate" marked the
proceedings of the democratic
convention, Tuesday night,
which nominated three COM
missioners to succeed Messrs.
j. G. Morrow, E. C. Ross and
j. O.. Williams, whose terms ex-
pire next month.
The court room was comfort
ably full when Med. Ray called
the convention to order. Jno.
T. Wilkins was elected chairman,
and after a few brief remarks by
prominent democrats the con-
vention got down to business.
Nominations were called for
and the names of j. G. Morrow,
M. M. Shepherd, E. C. Ross, C.
S. Fullbright, ]. D. Dermid, A.
G. Thompson, Foster Bennett
and George Justice were placed
before the meeting. But one
ballot was taken, resulting in the
nomination of M. M. Shepherd
and George Justice. On motion
of S. ]. Justice, G. S. Fullbright
was then nominated unanimously
and enthusiastically.
The retiring commissioners
were called upon for talks and
all responded happily, pledging
their support to their successors.
Before the nominations were
made, S. j. Justice was called
upon for aspeech He called for
Mr.. Schenck who said he was
proud of the work accomplished
by the democratic party in Hen
dersonville, compared the present
financial condition of the town
with that of three years ago and
predicted the election of the
ticket in May.
McD.Ray referred to the eff
! forts being made to launch a
citizens ticket. Said one party
or the other should be in power
and be held responsible and re-
marked that if a citizens ticket
was good for the town it would
also be good for the county.
Said that few towns in North
Carolina have as low a tax rate
as Hendersonville.
S. J. Justice, who lives in the
northern end of town. said time
was when he was the only demo-
crat there, but he has raised one
democrat and imported seven, so
that part of town is now of con-
siderable political Importance.
He nominated Mr.. Morrow, pay
ing him fine tribute as a man
who has always dore his duty.
Mr.. Morrow requested that his
name be withdrawn from nomi-
nation as did Mr.. Williams and
Mr.. Ross.
1t was business like conven-
ton, whose proceedings were
marked by q spirit of harmony
which predicts a sweeping sue
cess at the polls on. May 3.
AS one business man said after
the meeting adjourned:
1T will be impossible to beat
such a ticket. Mr.. M. M. Shep-
perd, C. S. Fullbright and George
Justice are the three men who
enjoy the public esteem and
absolute confidence to a degree
surpassed by no other citizens of
Hendersonville. They will give
the town a good, business adj
minstration, it is needless to say
that they will be elected"

BREAKFAST FOOD TRUST.
Word from Minneapolis is that
Companies is Under Way.

Just as the sixty-day vegetar-
ians are getting things in line for
a reasonably low-priced dinner in
choice cuts for the people who
stick to meat diet, word comes
from Minneapolis that a trust is
being formed on breakfast foods,
taking in one-half of the big COM
panies which have thus far sup
piled mankind with flakes, toast
ed shreds, dessicated ships,
orange nuts and other cereal pro-
ducts with fascinating names.
That the trust is already half
formed and that il will soon be
here with all its joints perfectly
articulated and in smooth work.
ing order. taking in the entire II
companies that make breakfast
foods is the assertion of Thomas
wv. Hicks OF the National Financ-
ing company OF Minneapolis, who
is at the head OF the syndicate
promoting the deal. Mr.. Hicks
SAYS that the following companies
are already in line. that only a
few details are to be arranged
and that then the deal will be
closed.
The Northwestern Cereal Cor
poration; the Minneapolis Cereal
and Milling Co: the Fruen
Wheat Food and Milling Co; the
Minne-Paul Cereal and Milling
Co.; the Malta Vita Food Com
pany OF Battle Creek, Mich; the
Pettijohn Pure Food Co..; the
Iowa plants OF the United, Cereal
CO.. OF Chicago.
Mr.. Hicks comes out in fiat
statement that the trust arrange
ments will be made.
Calls it Holding Company.
Only he does not call it a trust,
but uses the milder and more
euphemistic term, holding COM
Dany. The companies above men,
toned, he says. are already in the
deal, and that the others will have
TO come IN as matter OF self-de-
Tense.
The manufacture OF breakfast
foods. according to Mr.. Hicks has
been thus far matter OF pure
philanthropy on the part OF the
manufacturing companies. The
competition has been so fierce
that the companies have actually
been doing business at a loss.
Battle Greek. Mfch., the heart
AMI center of the breakfast food
industry, has had, he says, with
in the two years last past. no less
than forty-two failures.
