THE NoT1cEABLE VALUE.
Good Roads Help Trade Both
City and Country.

" -s
To no one more than the bust
ness man is the question of good
roads vital issue. The spread
ing Of the doctrine of good roads
will mean a large increase in the
volume Of business, will lead to
great leaps in the development
Of this already rich country and
vii make money for every man
in mercantile lines. While di-
rectly the building of good
roads will benefit the farmers
and stock raisers more than any
one else and will raise the value
of every farm reached by good
roads, still the business men
come in a close second.
Good roads will increase the
productivity of the land because
it will give the farmers a better
outlet for their marketable stuff
and will lead to such an increase
IN population that there will be
more workers per square mile
than there are under the old
road system. Good roads will
open for settlement and cult
Vation land now lying out of the
radius of profitable farming.
1t will put more square miles of
territory within trade distance
Of your town.
The business men of any town
are interested In bringing to
that town trade from greater
dlstancethan is easily covered on
our present roads. It increases
the volume of business, and
every man in business in the
community receives his share of
the benefit. The farmer is abb
10 haul his grain and produce to
market at less cost and makes a
greater profit per year from his
aoor This additional profit is
represented by the additional
amount of cash he has to spend
with the home dealers. When
lle farms are made to pay 1arg-
u dividends more settlers will
come col to your neighborhood, and
al OF them will have to spend
money with you and your fellow
BUSINESS men. So directly and
lurectly, the business men are
Oenehtted by the building of
good roads.

The Delightful Millinery openingE

I just had to come out
could hardly resist the temptations
of spending the ten dollars for
that b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l dear Of 8 ErsEt
and I know / IL be back there be-
fore the day is over and buy Is
anyhow.
This from one of the Inose
charming girls Of HendersonVlIIe
IA town known even as far as
Charlotte for its pretty girls
and she but expressed the sszlki
ments of scores of others WHO at
tended the millinery openings Of
Mrs. Posey and the Henderson
vile Mercantile Company today
The fall styles for this year are
radically and startlingly new, and
there is some doubt expressed az
to their their being popular Some
of the creations resemble, to fEIer
coarse masculine mind, sections
of the famous Chimney Rock
while others partake somewhat of
the peculiar characteristics of file
familiar stovepipe.
French blues, browns and tap
estries predominate, with many
plumes, flowers and agraittes,
with touches Of gilt and silver.
One striking hat seen was a. white
beaver, with a black facing a
willow plume and one gilt rose
put where it would do the most
good.
Another was turban, bIack
with silver tassels, giving a de-
.cidedly military and charming eff
feet.
Both Of these are on exhibition
at Mrs. Posey S.
These are but two instances Of
many really beautiful creations
at both the openings Both stores
have been well filed al 1day with
ladies and exclamations Of de-
light and appreciation were the.
order Of the day.
At the HendersonvilIe MercarE
tile Company S store where Miss
Frances Burchfeld Of Kansas IS m
charge, may be seen a dainty t1Er-
ban of myrtle green with the NEW
WilloWette plumes which are des
tined to become very popular
Another is of black pan velvet
with beaver crown, with a bird OF
black and white plumage looking
as if ready to take fight into the
cloudless skies of HendersonylIIg.
Both are very pretty Miss
Burchfeld believes it wilT take
some little time for the ladies' %
get inocuIated, If that IS the pro
per technical expression, to t1le
new styles. In this opinion, she
and Miss Made Griffin, Of. Mrs
Posey's are Of one and the sane.
opinion.
But say, girls, if you really
want to see these dreams Of ar
fists minds, just go to the miTI7-
merry shops yourselves. You won =
be disappointed and you IT find
the prettiest headgear in Wesfern
North Carolina.

ASSAULTED CHILD.

Charged with criminal assault
upon the 9-year-old daughter of
w. D. Hollingsworth, near her
home in Flat Rock, III. S. Maxey,
a crippled negro, was brought to
town last night and placed in the
county Jail by Sheriff Blackwell
and Deputy Charlie Bryant.
Mrs. Anders, the wife of the
Flat Rock postmaster, observed
the child with the negro, and tel
ephoned Mr.. HolingsWorth
Leaving his evening meal untast-
ed before him, the father started
in pursuit and found the little
girl and the negro in a dense
thicket, some twenty feet from
the road, in the woods opposite
the Smyth place. In the struggle
which ensued Maxey received a
severe knife wound in the head,
and while trying to grasp the
again descending knife in the
hands of the infuriated father had
one of his fingers almost severed
from his hand.
Mr.. HollingswOrth shouted for
assistance, and Burt Painter and
Will Station, soon responded. The
negro was overpowered, placed in
buggy and when part way to
town was turned over to Sheriff
Blackwell.
Maxey is well known in Hen
dersonville. About year ago ne
conducted a pressing club in the
old rock building ON Main street,
He protests his innocence CT the
crime.
He was in jail last night for
about two hours, when the officers
decided his health would be bene-
fitted by a brief visit to the ali-
tumn woods. He was spirited
away and kept concealed until
early this morning. About two
O'Clock this morning mob of
about one hundred determined
and very quiet men gathered in
front Of the jail, and only the lack
Of leader prevented the storm
ing Of the building. The author
tiles wished to get Maxey to Ashe-
vile for safe keeping and had
Walter Reece in his big auton1o-
bile ready to take them to the
place where the negro was con-
cealed. The crowd, however,
kept a very close watch on the
movements Of Mr.. Reece, and the
negro was not brought back to
town until this morning and after
the crowd had dispersed. There
was absolutely no disorder, no
shooting and no shouting, but
the grim look on the faces Of the
men composing the crowd boded
but i'll for Maxey had the longed
for leader but made his appear
ance.

NOW IT'S THE TIME TO
SELECT SEED CORN

zL
Hon. A Cannon, member Of the
State Board Of Agriculture, q
man who has an everlasting IN
terest in all that pertains to the
welfare Of the farmers of this
section, urges the early and pro
per selection Of seed corn in the
following communication to
this paper
Now is the right time for the
farmer to select his seed corn for
next years crop. In the selec-
ton, take a certain type and Sc
lect them all as nearly uniform
as is possible.
The proper type should have
Il deep grain, medium sized cob
and the ears should be all of the
same size, or as nearly the same
size as is possible. The rows of
grains should be straight from
end to end. If you want a pure
white corn, the cob should &c
Wnlte, as the red cob has a ten
dency to color the corn. No
fodder should be gathered fresn
corn used for seed, as it destroys
the strength of the seed to a GER
tain extent.
All seed corn should be
healthy an strong, if you expect
to have a strong and vigorous
stalk and a well developed ear.
Go through the field and select
as well as you can the type of
ear you want, and also at shuck-
ing time select more seed of the
same class. Select from strong
and vigorous stalk, with the ear
four and half to five feet from
the ground. In this case, with a
high growing ear, the water in
time of floods will not damage
your ear of corn, whereas with a
low growing ear it is more than
apt to do SO.

What Mr.. Cannon says about
selecting seed from stalks
having the ear about FIVE feet
above the bround is worthy of
the most serious consideration.
There is now on exhibition In
the Hustler office great fine
stalk of corn from Mr.. Cannon s
bottoms. The ear is possibly five
feet from the ground. The recent
floods damaged this stalk and the
others like it not one particle, as
the ear was above the high water.
Had all of the corn in that section
been of this same variety there
would have been but little damage
done by the water, for this stalk
was uninjured while a low grow
ing variety would have been ruin
ed The stalk on exhibition in
this Office and is well worthy of
inSnnction

GOVERNOR S BAD BREAK
Webster County is Exasper-
J. ated Over Pardons.

5. Providence, KY, Dec. 1.-The &C.
tion Of Governor Wilson in pardon
ing eleven negroes serving terms in
the penitentiary for the murder of
Berry, a travelling salesman of Louis
vile, continues to be freely discussed
in'this county. and Governor Wilson
isbeing denounced on all sides for
the wholesale pardons and turning
loose at one time of eleven negroes
convicted of killing a white man.
It develops that neither Common
wsRlth's Attorney S. " Dixon, nor
County Attorney C. w. Bennett was
notified that the Governor was con-
sidering an application for the par
don of the negroes, in the face Of
the fact that they had made a re.
quest that they be informed of such
action in order that they might offer
a protest.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1910-12-03
