Wants Good Roads Agitation.

A wei known business man of
Hendersonville says:
why doesn't the Commercial
Club begin to consider the best
means of securing good roads for
Henderson county,
"Does it think there is anything
of greater Importance to the inn
mediate welfare of the community
than good roadsf
"There are so many details to be
settled, even after the people have
decided they will bond themselves
for the Improvement, details
which will take so much time and
careful consideration, that no time
should be lost In bringing the mat
ter to a head as soon as possible.
eff the Herald, which is doing
so much for the development of
Henderson county, could devise
some means of sounding the minds
of the farmers If the county in
reference to this matter, it would
place the community under an
additional obligation to it.
$50 much has been said about
the immense benefits of good
roads to the city man and the far
mer alike that there would seem
to be absolutely no additional ar
gument to advane. in their favor,
and certainly I shau not try to do
so.
"But I believe The people Of
Henderson county are ready now
to consider the matter And ] be
ieve the great majority of them
will endorse heartily any plan
which looks to provide the roads
if, of course, their interests are
properly safe-guarded at every
point"

COL. P|CKENS' NAME
AND PASSES BAD CHECKS.

The first check passed was with
the firm of johnson & Guice, meat
market, in which the mysterious
person took some meat in part
payment of the $500 which the
check called for.
Last Tuesday when the stranger
attempted to pass the cheek on an
other merchant, he was question
ed about the check and gave the
statement that he was a nephew
of the Colonel and often got
checks from him. The merchant
was not satisfied, being a close
friend of Col. Pickens and when
the person left, failing to get any
money on them, phoned Col. PlcA-
ems and received the information
that no check had been issued 1Or
the amount.
On all three checks, which are
at the First National Bank there
are six different signatures Oh
some supposed person by the name
of Pickens. No clue has SO 1ar
been found as to the guilty parry
The merchants who cashed the
checks are the losers.

Forging the name of Col. S. V.
Pickens on three different occa-
sions last Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday an unknown person
has made away with about $3.50.
The forger was successful in pass
ing his bogus check upon several
merchants of Hendersonville, but
when the check reached the First
National bank, upon which they
all were drawn, the officials detect
ed the forgery, in Col. Pickens'
name.
Col. Pickens says that he has
made every effort to capture the
person who had been so recklessly
flashing his signature and for this
reason would not give the infor-
nation to the press unit To-day.
Election was at It's highest dur
ing these days and with the
crowds very little attention was
paid by most merchants to checks
with the signature of such promi-
nent men as Col. Pickens and when
these bogus papers were presented
they readily paid them and paid
very little attention to the person.

Meeting Has no Rssults.

Railroad Meeting Has no Results.
The special meeting of the Com
mercial Club and the citizens of
the town, held last night at the
court house, was attended by a
fair number of interested people.
Mr. McKay,the engineer in charge
of the survey of the proposed Iso-
thermal Electric Railroad from
Rutherfordton to Asheville, sub
mitted his proposition, which
briefly, was that the town should
raise two thousand dollars for the
survey of the road from Bat Cave
to Hendersonville. It was the
sense of the meeting that a guar
antee of some nature should be
given by Mr.. Mckay, in which
case, it was stated there would be
no difficulty in raising the amount
asked or many times that amount.
Mr.. Mckay, being unable to give
such a guarantee, the meeting adj
journed without any definite ac-
ton having been taken.

Many CheerIess American TOurIsts
 Who Lack AssimiIation.
 On a day of winter sunshine last January I chanced to be in Yokohama, and found that agreeable city enduring an unusual invasion, George Gascoyne says in the National Review. A swarm of American tourists had been ''dumped" on the shores of Tokyo bay from a great German liner. which lay at anchor in the roadstead I forget how many hundreds they numbered but they seemed to pervade the entire landscape.
 They had started from New YoIk and were making a tour around the world at express speed, and they were not an exhilarating party. They were Mark Twain's pilgrims over again, the passengers of the Quaker City on a new and extended scale. At Yoko- hama they had plainly reached the stage of intense, unutterable boredom. Luncheon was the only thing that real Iy interested them. They sat in stolid rows in the lounge of their hotel, they hung about the entrance hall, they filled every seat in the drawing room. They were too languid to talk to one another. and they even forgot to ex- plain to the unsuspecting stranger that they were American.
 The comment of the head waiter was instructive. One small ginger ale is the only order I've had all through lunch," was his melancholy complaint It was tolerably obvious that their one desire was to get back to New England, from whence most of them seemed to hail.
 Those cheerless tourists at Yoko- hama, with their leaden eyes and dazed expressions have learned too late one great truth about world travel. You cannot vegetate for fifty years in a small town or city office and then expect to swallow the whole world at a gulp.

 The powde' charge for these guns will

 Do you want to have some idea O: the terrible fighting efficiency of these new Dreadnoughts-the most powerful that the world has yet seen? Well, for a comparison, take the Connecti- cut, which only few years back-say ten-was our greatest ship. She has four 12-inch guns and can throw in five minutes 40 shells weighing $40 pounds That is 32,600 pounds, or over 16 tons of death and destruction. As suming that the service of the 14-lnch gun will be somewhat slower than that of the 12-inch, 1t is doubtless safe to say that the ten 14-ineh guns on either the Nevada or the Oklahoma will de liver 50 shells in five minutes, or 12,- 900 pounds of projectiles. with their deadly toad of high explosive, any pound of which detonated in the psy- chological place on the enemy's ship would sink it. You can rake the sta tistics of the navies of the world and you will nowhere find anything ap- preaching the force of this fire. It is nearly twice that of the best Dread nought in the British navy today
The Holbrook news., 1910-07-01

The new ships will probably have the peach basket" fire-control towers, which have now been installed on nearly all the battleships. Just at present there is, a division of opinion as to the value of these towers. and there are two schools of thought in the navy as to them. A special board is at work to get all the data possible as to the advantages and defects Of these towers. and another board will probably be appointed in the near fu ture 10 consider the matter and make recommendations as to the future policy in regard to them T
 If the corresponding bureaus of an, other country have accomplished what the Bureau of Construction has done since the beginnings of the new navy. 9 years ago, it has been kept from the current history of naval achieve ment No praise can be too earnest or distinct for what these officers have done for their country. Their work rebounds to the credit of each pass ing secretary and of the entire body of officers in the navy When the crucial hour shall come and the fate of the nation may depend on the great naval struggle for which countless millions ana unf1agging zeal for many years have been given in preparation. to them will be due the victory. if 1t be victory Their share in the result will be, perhaps, less sung than that Of the men who command the ships and man the guns. but generous peo pie will none the less remember their good work-Philadellh Ledger
