Is Hendersonville large enough


Is Hendersonville large enough
to support a daily newspaper?
If SO, the first issue of The
Daily Herald will soon make its
appearance, and the great out
side world will have the final
evidence that Hendersonville has
grown out of its baby clothes, is
no longer a mountain village but
is fast getting to that goal of it's
ambition 10 600 inhabitants!
And The Daily Herald. the
street car system and the Ashe-
vile GreenviIfe automobile high
way will soon MAKE of the one
time village a city of 10, 600!
For the Daily Herald will be
first, a Newspaper and then a
town booster.
AS it is universally admitted
that a daily newspaper is a
towns best advertisement,
Hendersonville will then get
what she needs and needs badly
proper and systematic adver-
tising.
A daily newspaper is worth
more to any community than all
the booklets ever printed.
With a live daily newspaper
a town needs no press bureau.
With it's complex organization,
its far-reaching connections, its
effective relations with other
daily newspapers, its telegraphic
news service, q daily paper is ID
an ahsolutelyzl1niq position to
serve the people of the commun-
ity supporting it, and no other
medium is to be compared with
it as a town booster. -

who have agreed to haul all the
sand or gravel he will have loaded.
Certainly the property owners
of other parts of the county win
do as we'll.
1t is hoped that this meeting
may result in stirring up the
Greenville authorities to a real
izing sense of the Importance of
prompt action.
Certain changes will be neces-
sary on the East side of the Blue
Ridge and in Greenville county.
In Henderson county it is
pretty well decided where, the
road should be. In fact a large
part of it has been located and
built and petitions are now before
tie commissioners for relocation
of the balance. The representa-
tives from Greenyille to be pres
ent at this meeting will doubtless
carry home with them a part of
the enthusiasm Which the project
has created here, and stir the
authorities of their county to
prompt and vigorous action.
All the work done now on the
road will be of a permanent ma
ture and would have to be done
eventually before the road could
be macadanized.
It is believed this mass meet
ing, on March 80, will lead to
definite measures being adopted
which will assure the construction
of this highway this Summer, so
that it may be dedicated with a
great automobile parade this Fall.
If the town and county author
tiles will cooperate, if every man
in the county will do his part.
the road can be built, and the
beneficial results will surpass the
expectations of the most san
| guine.
There's absolutely nothing of
| more vital Importance to this
| county and town than the irnme-
date construction of this high
way.
Switzerland, no more attrac-
tive, no more beautiful than
Western North Carolina, spends
millions catering to the tourists
and finds it very, very profit
able.
To place this town and county
in direct connection with the
New York-Atlanta highwa y
would bring the very people here
we want, and to repeat, would
| inject a NEEDED vitality into
the tourist traffic of Western
North Carolina-the Switzerland
of America-now inaccessible to
/ the very class of people it is most
desirable to interest.
Henderson county will find the
careful expenditure of the money
necessary to, build her share of
this highway, the best and most
productive investment in her his
tory. Switzerland's experience,
a country where poverty is un-
/ known, where millions are left
annually by tourists from all over
the world, will be the experience
of this, The Switzerland of
America, " and the solemn old

A"GOOd ROADS mass m00Ilng,
which may result in the
immediate construction of a
suitable automobile road through
this county, to connect with the
GREAT New rk-Atlanta national
highway, will be held in Hender-
sonyille on March 30th.
Joseph Hyde Pratt. State Geol-
ogist of North Carolina, will be
present and address the meeting.
Representative m en- from
GreenviIle, Asheville and every
section interested will also be
present and take an active part
in the proceedings.
It is desired to grade and i'm
prove1 the road from the Bun
combe county line to the Green
vile line in such a manner that
the improvement will be perma-
nent and with a view of ulti-
mately paving the road.
The Buncombe county eomn1is=
sioners have already agreed to
macadamize to the Henderson
county line, and it is understood
the Greenville authorities will do
the same.
When the Henderson county
road is improved, this section
will be in direct connection with
the New York-Atlanta national
highway.
What this means to Hender-
sonville and Henderson county is
easily understood.
AS Mr.. Pratt says:
1t would mean an increased
market for all kinds of farm
produce, an increased demand for
hotel and boarding house accom-
modations and the benefits to be
derived by the increased amount
Of money spent in the county due
to tourist trade would be felt by
all Henderson county,"
It would make accessible the
most beautifully picturesque part
of the United States to thousands
of automobile owners, anxious to
come here.
It would mean that a very
large part of those making the
trip over the great national high
way from New York to Atlanta
would include a trip to The
Switzerland of America" f." before
returning.
Western North Carolina, with
its wonderful wealth of scenic
beauty, is now a closed book to
thousands of wealthy men who
would be quick to realize the
pleasure to be derived from an
automobile tour of this famed
Land of the Sky -
And their coming would mean

best advertising medium posi-
bic for community. This per
mits of no argument whatever.
A live daily newspaper is the
last word in town advertising.
AS to whether Hendersonville
is large enough to support q
daily paper, is a question yet to
be decided.
The initial expense of publish
ing a daily newspaper is very
heavy.
A typesetting machine costs
about four thousand dollars.
Telegraphic news service IS
very heavy item.
It costs money to gather the
news, to pay correspondents, to
buy paper, and to maintain the
extensive organization neees

its appearance at all, it will be a
presentable appearance.

The Asheville Gazette-NeWs,
commenting on the Asheville-
Greenville editorialin last weeks
Hustler, says:
we wish to applaud what our
able contemporary has so well
said, and to add a few ideas of
our own on the subject. First,
we believe the minds of the peo-
pie of Henderson are falloW fields
for this movement. Of this our
contemporary is, of course, in q
position to judge better than we.
Progress has been hampered
there, as in our own and many
other communities. in instance,
by. lack of harmony and commun-
ity interest. We think we see
signs that Henderson folks are
getting together. We believe
they realize their want of this
road.
Second, Henderson and Hen
dersonville people like to make
comparisons of their town with
the town of Asheville. They like
to argue and to think that theirs
is the more important of the two;
to which argument and way of
thinking Asheville and Buneombe
people have no especial objection.
But a well graded, well paved
highway right through the entire
county would, we are convinced,
do more to make Hendersonville
an actual competitor of Ashe-
ville's, in size, in business facili-
ties, in the tourist business, than
any one thing-if the present
ratio of increase i'm the use of au-
tomobiles is to be maintained.
Henderson, as we have said, will
have to bear the heaviest burden
in the construction of the Ashe-
vile to Greenville highway, but
will probably also reap by far the
greatest proportionate profit.
Asheville sees this plainly and
views it quite cheerfully. +"

upon a country transformed.
The mountains and scenery of
Western North Carolina are
among her greatest resources.
So far, these resources are
practically latent. Build an au-

may reach this beautiful country,

 and Is Killed.

Chicago, Illinois.-Twelve persons were burned to death and several others were injured, none fatally, in fire which destroyed a six-story building occupied by l.. Fish & Co.,, | furniture dealers, at Nineteenth street and Wabash avenue.
 Eleven bodies have been recovered from the ruins and one victim, Miss Ethel Finkelstein, died after she had plunged six stories in an effort to es- cape the flames.
 The dead are:
 Tthel Finkelstein, 16 years old i; Veronica McGrath, Mrs. Hannah Bur- den, forelady; Rose Bruche, IT years old, stenographer; Gertrude Quinn, 20, Han Sullivan, Minor Bell advertising manager; Herbert M Mitchell, brother-in-law of Simon Fish; Bert Sinclair, clerk; William Green, negro porter; Ethel Anderson, stenographer; Mary Wargo, assorter.
 The deaths occurred on the fifth and sixth floors, the two topmost of the building Employees on these floors were cut off from escape by fire which enveloped the building al- most instantly, following the explosion of several cans of benzine. Girls Call for Help. The Fish Furniture company occu- pied two buildings separated by an alley, one builolng fronting on Wa bash avenue, where the fire occurred, and the other on State street, which is a block west of Wabash avenue. Those in the State street store look ing across the alley could see girls on the fifth and sixth floors of the burn ing structure rushing back and forth to the windows, screaming for assist ance.
 At times they clung to each other. Then some of them disappeared, with their hair and clothing blazing.
 John Schmidt and William Peter son, cabinet makers. who were at work in the repair room, were among those who escaped slightly burned. When a great sheet of flame shot across the floor they were knocked down but managed to crawl to the front stairway, whence they made their way to the street The fire, they said was preceded by an explosion which shook the building.
 One of the dead was man who perished in an endeavor to rush up the stairways to the aid of those i'm prisoned above.
 Ten Penned In. Ten women and girls were at work on the sixth floor when the explosion occurred. The spread of the flames throughout the upper floors was al most instantaneous, and when the girls rushed to the stairways they found their escape cut off They next turned to the front of the building smashing the windows.
 Then suddenly one of the girls, Emma Lichstenstein, 20 years old, stepped out on the window ledge and screamed for help. Then she leaped. She fell on the awning on the front entrance to the store. where she lay unconscious until man, crawling out -on the canopy, lifted her up. She wal taken to St. Lukes hospital, only few blocks away, but died soon afterwards. Tea.h was due to >nter- nal injuries received in her fall.
 Soon after Miss Lichstensteins leap a crash as if of floors falling was heard and the faces at the windows disappeared
