work. There certainly is nothing
more important before the people
of Henderson county and Hender-
sonville than this question of good
roads and there is no man in the
county more competent than Mr..
Patton to build them.
The questions of how, when,
and by what means the good roads
are to be built are Of minor inn
portance. The fact that there is
strong sentiment in the county
for them is sufficient. The bal
ance of the problem will take care
of itself. The people of the coun-
ty, when their minds are full.
made up as to the best methods of
construction. and the best methods
of paying for their construc-
ton, will say the word and the
roads Will be built.
In the meantime it is worthy of
note that in three counties in Vir-
ginia they are spending five hum
dred thousand dollars, seven hun
dred thousand dollars and eight
hundred thousand dollars respec-
lively for the building of good
roads. They are issuing bonds
for this amount that the people
may realize the benft immediate
ly. And they have figured it out
that it is the best investment of
the public money the tax payers
could possibly make.
Whether the people Of Hender-
son will consent to a bond issue
that they, too, may derive the i'm
mediate benefits from their public
spirit and enterprise remains to be
seen: At the present there is here
an ever growing spirit for good
roads, and that is certainly en-
couraging to all true lovers of the
finest town and county on earth.

The Bankers Convention.

Hendersonville is fast becoming
the convention city of the noun
tains.
The latest testimony to this eff
feet is the gratifying news that
the bankers of North Carolina
will hold their annual convention
here In June.
They have heretofore held their
meetings at Lake Toxaway, and
the fact that this coming year
their deliberations will be held at
Kanuga Lake is really an appreci-.
alton of the attractiveness of
Hendersonyille and its greatest
development project Kanuga
Lake colony.
1t is interesting to note, by the
way, that one of Henderson coun-
#ty's best known citizens, man
honored by them with their suf-
frage, has been instrumental in
landing most of these conventions
for his home town.
There is no better method of adj
vertising a resort than through
conventions. The visitors and
delegates come from far and wide
and on their return to their homes,
their personal, word-of-mouth de-
scription of their trip and their
treatment is of untold benefit OF
the city.

A Sentiment for Good Roads

While there were not many
present at the meeting called Sat
urday by Representative Ewart
for the purpose of getting line
upon the sentiment of the people
regarding the road law, the senti-
ment for good roads was there
strong.
About forty men from all sec
tons of the county were present,
and in every case where one OF
them expressed his opinion he
advocated good roads.
This is one of the signs OF the
times which indicate that good
roads for Henderson county are
now almost within sight.
Men there were at the meeting
who already feel the burden OF
taxation but who yet advocated a
tax on property for improved
highways. ii
Hard headed farmers said they
would rather pay a property tax
than to pay the very heavy tax
they now do when they haul their
products to the market.
Without exception, every mar
had a realizing sense of the great
value to the farmer from this i'm
iprovement, and Judging from some
of the expressions heard at thu
meeting the farmers of the county
! who were never really opponent
of good roads, are now on fai
way to become their warmest ad
vocates.
And this is as it should be
Good roads mean more to tn
farmer than to any other one elias
