Number of Automobiles Here

It is said there are over one hun
dred automobiles In Henderson
vile and in Henderson county.
Be that as it may, there are GER
tain4y five times as many as there
were two years ago, or possibly
even last year. And to the credit
of the owners and drivers of the
machines it must be said that they
generally show the utmost con-
sideration of the right of other
uses of the public highways.
The road hogs are the exception,
and are adj the mere CONSPICUOUS
and the more odious by being SO
different from their compat-
riots. e

Making q Good Road From Flet-
chers to Town.

The convicts are making a most
excellent road from Pitcher to
Hendersonville. Supervisor Pat
ton has a reputation for making
good roads but it is said this is
one of the very best yet. This is
one of the main travelled roads,
especially for automobiles, it has
been sadly in need of attention,
and the work now being done
there by the efficient county sup
ervisor is in the nature of a per-
manent Improvement, which is
working aong the right line.

lotte, who has been looking after

SAM JONES OF UPWARD,
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

~ ~ 81 : I
With sightless eyes iipturned to-
ward the electrified zeus that
grimly reaPed his life, storm beat
en- and lying PROSTATE beside a
lifeless mule with reins within his
grasp the Iife1ess body of Sam
Jones was discovered three miles
out of Hendersonyille yesterday
after the severe electrical storm
that swept this section
Prior TO the storm Jones was
blowing seorn, and as he did not
reach home directly after the rain
it was feared that i'll fate had over
taken him, whereupon search
was made. Jones body was
found outstretched beside that of
the mule which he had been plow-
ing, beneath an apple tree nearby
where he had been working. Pre-
sumably he had taken. the tree as
a refuge from the storm. The
tree beneath which he was found
showed no signs of having been
struck by tightening, but indica-
tions were seen on another tree a
short distance away. It is said
that the case Of the watch found
on his persor had been melted by
the stroke that caused his death.
No signs Of movement by Jones
or his companion could be traced,
therefore it is thought that death
was instant.
Jones was man of thirty-three
years and leaves no family. In
terment took place today in the
cemetery near Upward bearing
his name.

Lets wake Or on Good ROads.


Monroe Journal
With the adoption of a good
roads plank in the state democrat
tic platform this vital subject, al.
ready attracting almost univer-
sal attention in the South, and In
deed IN thesnation, is likely to re
ceive much more though in North
Carolina in the immediate days.
It cannot receive too much We
need a definite plan for co-opera-
ton between counties and State
an da department of roads, Illa-
der whose direction the work OF
road Improvement can be carried
on with intelligence and scienti-
fic knowledge Too many eoun-
ties in the State are trying to do
something in blundering ways
1
without knowing what they can
or should do. Thus both time
and money is being wasted, which
if expended under intelligent dir
ection, would amount to so much
more.
Take Union county, for in-
stance. We are blundering along
nobody knowing what can or
should be done. We are spend
ing money year by year in. this
township, supporting valuable
labor force, and yet not accom-
phshing what we should. If there
lisa man in the county who has a
definite and intelligent idea of a
road improvement policy for this
township and county, we are not
acquaintd with him. No doubt
the same is true of other counties.
Hence the need of aid from the
State, such aid at least as viii
amount to definite advice and aid
in formulating and carrying out
a policy that will amounnt to the
best possible results with the
means at hand.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 25<
Look who s here! A state, Mime
sofa by name, which has 500 much
money in its treasury that in all
probability no taxes for 1911
viii be levied on the people.
There is nearly 81, 4,000,0 900 In the
Minnesota state treasury, sur
plus without precedent. More
over, this enormous surplus is
growing constantly, the settle
ment of big number cases, inheri-
tance tax suits and other litga-
ton in favor of the state being
responsible in large part for the
treasury funds since October.
1t is understood that Governor A.
o. Eberhart, at the suggestion of
Attorney General Geo. T. Simp-
son and other state officers, will
recommend that no tax levies be
made for next year. The state
officials are wondering what is to
be done with the surplus

A Alexander and q niece of Mr..

day morning at the sammer cot

The funeral services will be held
at Hendersonvile this morning at

The foregoing report from to-
days Ashew7Tle Citizen is self-ex-
planatory as ito the death of Miss
I7or Alexander who died at Rose
wood cottage on 3rd avenue yes
terday.
The inference is left that the de-
ceased contracted fever in Hen
dersonviEle( which according to
authorities is far from correct.
When seen today by a Herald
representative, DR.. Egerton, the
attending physician said: ssShe
had fever the first time that / Wis

say how long she had had fever,
but don. t think it developed sud-
denly
Mr.. J. A. Alexander. father of
of the deceased, said to a Herald
man: "For . long time Ivor has
been very delicate. She came here
ceiling very feeble, and her tongue
has been badly coated ever since
she first came up. We have been
giving her medicine all the time,
but I didn't feel there would be
any serious developments. Con-
tinuing he emphatically said: "I
really DON'T believe she contracted
fever in Hendedsonville, for indi-
cations showed that she was sick
on coming here.''
The funeral services were con

WILL ORGANIZE GOOD
ROADS ASSOCIATION

Goods roads for Henderson
county,
That should be the cry of every
one having the best interest of this
county at heart.
There are SO many arguments
for good roads, and they are all
now so well known, that it were
a waste of time to repeat them.
As a matter of fact, it is very
hard now days to find man in
Henderson county who opposes
good roads
Most everyone realizes the tre-
menodus economic waste of poor
roads.
Most everyone realizes that
good roads means the develop
ment of the whole county as moth
ing else under the sun could pos
slbly develop it.
This mean the development of
what are now waste places into
country estates, vastly increasing
the taxable property Of the coun-
ty.
This means more to the farmer
than to any ether one class, and
the farmers should be the loWd-
est and the most insistent In their
demand for them
Good roads attracts the most
desirable class of people to the
county. They increase the value
of lands, add to the social Efe of
a community not less than one
hundred per cent, make all parts
ofthe county accessible, and make
life in the rural districts las de-
sirable as in the city
A Good Roads Association will
be organized at the court house
on next Monday.
The call for the meeting is sign
ed by Mr.. w F. Bane, chairman of
the board of county commission
e :. .
ers; Mr.. P. F. Patton, chairman of
the county supervisors; Mr.. R. II.
Station, mayor of the town of Hen
dersonville; Col. S. V.Pickens, and

the Retail Merchants Association.
