Though the fact Of his death was
published, few persons know that old
Charley, the negro who was such a
well-known character on the streets
of Hamilton, died recently at the
poor farm Few knew him by his
right name. He was just "Nigger
Charley" In corduroy trousers, a
black coat and violent cravat he was
familiar to everyone. He seldom for
got his dignity, even after dallylng
with the dream mug and that, with
him. was a vocation to which other
things were incidental.
Thinking it was 6 o'clock Frank
Hoagland locked up the Hub Clothing
store Wednesday evening, tipped on
his derby, gave his tie jerk and saun-
tered out upon the street. Before he
had gone far he looked at his watch
and it was only o'clock. Feeling
foolish he turned back and skunk into
the store. He felt, however, that he
owed an apology to somebody. He
explains that customer had just been
in the store saying that it was 10
minutes to when he had an engage
ment and Frank hurriedly waited on
him in order that he might not be
late. When he left Frank unconscious
iy locked up and started home. Now
he is a convert to belief in the power

THE SPELL OF THE TOY SHOP.

There are many grown-up people who remain very like children and for whom spare money is always sur rounded by halo of romance. The spell of the toy shop is always upon them, the fascination of the place where everything can be bought from a game of checkers to an aeroplane, or a fairy queen to an invincible army. It is these who haunt the windows when wise shopkeepers make gorgeous displays of their wares Looking at the windows is not the least of the en- ioyments derived from a shipping eX- pedition. There is certain joy to be had by looking at and comparing The article which they cannot hope to buy. There is no greater libel upon

human nature than the general belief that it is painful to the poor to look upon desirable objects which they may not have To hungry man the sight of food placed behind glass and out of his reach may well become tor ture. and the sight of the fire must be horribly tantiliZing to those who cannot feel its warmth. But this does not apply, except in very few instances. to the things which can be bought in shops for money. It is no torture for an artist to visit a picture gallery and to look upon the paintings which he can never hope to have for his own nor is it anything but a pleasure to the collector to visit museums or even shops where the articles which he ad mires are displayed.-Leslie's.

ton was in town Monday. Mr..
Gallert is one Of the Democratic
Congressional possibilities. He
is chairman of the county COM
missioners of Rutherfordton,

An organizer should head the
ticket. "

NO UPTOWN OFFICE

Hendersonville will have no
uptown express office, the Cor
poration Commission of North
Carolina having declined to grant
the petition circulated by Judge
Ewart.
The Commission, however will
recommend certain needed i'm
provements at the railroad sta
ton, involving both the railroad
and express companies, particu-
lars of which will be published
later.
There were two petitions cir
culated about the uptown ex-
press office for and one
against. Commissioner Rogers
heard both sides here on Feb.
Is, and on March 3 made his re-
port to the Commission at Raj
eigh.
There were 22, 1876 packages.
weighing 922, 732 pounds shipped
into Hendersonville during 1909.
There were IL, 184 pieces, weigh
ing 843, 402 pounds shipped out
of town during 1909, of which
597, 958 pounds consisted of cab
bage, apples and potatoes.
The express company will
shortly provide a regulation .ex-
press wagon. 'Call cards" have,
or will be furnished, and every
where in the business section the
wagon will call for packages,
when the sign is exposed. The
company now makes three free
deliveries, daily, within the city
limits.

A DAILY PAPER FOR
THE farmer IS HIS
BEST INVESTMENT
Keeps Him Thoroughly In
Touch With the Markets
and the News of the En-
tire World.

A permanent daily newspaper
in Hendersonville would mean
more, possibly, to the farmers of
this county than to any other
one class.
The market quotations, both
foreign and local, would enable
them to bring their produce to
town at just the right time and
should save them many times the
four dollars subscription in a
single month.
There would be in the proposed
new daily all the news from the
outside world, all the news from
Hendersonville and all the news
from every section of the county,
for, if the proposed paper is ever
published, it will have cores
pondents in every part of the
county, whose copy" will be
edited and presented to the
papers readers in readable form.
1t will have interesting con-
tinued stories, agricultural and
household contributions, will
fight until it dies for good roads
and better farming methods, but
after tall it's strongest claim to
the farmers, and others, favor
will be that it gives them the
NEWS, not only of the outside
world but of their home county
and town, while it is news.
The subscription price will be
four dollars per year, and it vii
be worth it, stS~ Sr5x. @

City council met last Thursday
night. The new water filter was
discussed and a contract will be
let soon for it's installation. The
Retail Merchants Association
asked for a night policeman. G.
r. Whitaker wants to sell his
water line at the depot to the
city. The old board of trade bill
for advertising was presented
and declined. A request to open
Pine street to the depot was re-
ferred to the proper committee
w. P. Fisher said, through his
attorney, C. F. Toms, that he
was physically injured by means
of an open trench on one of the
city streets and wants damages.

May Open Pine Street

At the last meeting of the
town council a request was made
that Pine street be opened
through to the depot, or to the
new street to be cut through
facing the railway tracks. The
matter was referred to the
proper committee.
AS a we'll known business man
said, yesterday:
''The opening Of Pine street
would seem to be advisable,
necessary in fact. It would add
greatly to the convenience of
many people desiring to reach
the depot who are now obliged
to make a wide detour to get
there. There are only two lots,
/ believe to be cut through to
reach the tracks, and as it will
have to be done some time it
would seem advisable to make
this needed improvement now,
when it will cost far less than
next year, or five years hence.
1T would, ! repeat, add great
ly to the convenience of many
tax payers and residents of that
part of town and I think the
matter deserves the esrly and
best attention of the town
authorities.

among other things, is Grantism-
This condition of affairs is
repulsive to that high sense of
patriotism and justice which has
ever distinguished the people Of
the mountain region. The mind
of the district must and shall be
convinced of an awful folly and
of the righteousness of demo
cracy's claims to ascendency and
power. The tenth district must
and shall line itself up once again
in the great cause Of the people,
and it must and shall be redeem
ed from the countrywide lire
pute into which well nigh indie
cent republican political wlIes
and arts have placed it.
TO accomplish this great ser
vice, democracy must be united
Whom you select as your stan
dard bearer is of small moment
compared to the great patriotic
services before you. Myparty's
welfare and success has always
been to me a higher ambition
than my own personal advance
ment.
II ask for harmony thenin the
friendly rivalry into which, by
this letter, I launch myself. TO
your party wisdom and your
sense of party justice I commit
my claims, and your verdict will
be final with me and by every
effort I shall seek to have it ap~
! proved at the polls. Yours
obediently.

ENDORSES COUNTY FAIR

Editor Hustler:
/ seldom write articles for pub
lication, but I read with much
interest an article in the Hust-
ler of last week from the pen of
our distinguished neighbor and
fellow citizen, Capt. j. W. Wof-
ford, advocating a county fair,
to be held next Fall; and the
exhibits to be on the beautiful
Main street of Hendersonyine.
1t will be an ideal place for the
fair. something out of the ordi-
nary. An ideal place to show
our best driving and saddle
horses, the streets being in ex-
cellent condition already at the
expense of our worthy and enter
prising citizens of our beautiful
city. ] am confident it will be
tendered to- the farmers and
frlendS or the enterprise Tor a
few days, and I know the people
of Hendersonville win do their
part in making the fair grand
success. Now a word to my
brother farmers. Let as get to-.
gether and make this the best
fair in Western North Carolina
By doing our duty we can fill the
streets with loaded wagons Of
our finest products raised on the
farm. Also bring our best cattle,
colts, sheep and hogs, and have
a day set apart to. exhibit by
driving on Main street. We
should also secure a suitable
building or build a temporary
one, suitable for exhibits of
fruit, vegetables, etc., and for
the ladies department.. This
can all be accomplished with
little expense, some nerve and
good judgement.

County Chairman
Bane Advocates
Bonds For Roads


Good roads," said Mr.. w. P.
Bane, chairman of the county
commissioners, to a Hustler man,
will increase valuations, double
the population and induce
wealthy men to live here who
otherwise would not consider
Henderson county as a place of
residence. "
Il believe, :" the able chairman
continued, II believe it is time
to forget politics and build roads.
If bond issue for good roads is
made the money must be spent
for absolutely no other purpose
than for good roads. and | be-
lieve it will be the best invest
ment ever made by the people of
Henderson county.
I'VE have everything here but
good roaas. Other counties all
around us are building roads and
we must do the same. AS / said,
good roads bring wealthy men as
permanent residents. Often
they increase the valuation of a
barren piece of land from one or
two. hundred dollars to twenty
thousand dollars and the taxes
derived by the county from their
Improvements increase accord
ingly. The increased valuation
will take care of the bonds, will
induce people to come here, will
double the hauling capacity of
every farmer hauling a load to
town and will eventually make
this county THE resort of the
South.
I am glad this good roads
mass meeting is to be held on
March 80. I am not, however,
prepared to say now whether /
endorse fully this proposed Ashe-
vile to Greenville highway. ]
am inclined to think that. our
own county roads should be i'm
proved first.
1t a bond issue is carried I
think the increased valuations of
lands abutting, and land nearby,
would take care of them, and
they would in no way become a
burden upon the county at large. +"

Hon. VIM. j. Cooke
Is A Candidate
For Congress

The formal announcement of
Hon. William j. Cooke of Bun
combe for the democratic con-
gressional nomination has been
given to the press of the district.
Mr.. Cooke. who has manifestly
developed tremendous strength
throughout the district, says to
the people that if nominated he
will carry the Tenth district;
that if another is nominated he
will labor earnestly and loyalty
for that others election. He
says further that it is evident
that the democratic slogan this
year will be Down with Aldrich-
ism, Cannonism and Grantism"
and discusses in clear-cut and
eloquent manner these three
points. In the course of his
open letter to the democrats of
the district he says:
ITO the Democratic Voters of
| the Tenth Congressional Dis
zz.strict:S s.s.-A<5 4ss,.
sf you nominate me for CEN
gress I will carry this congress
sional district for the democracy;
| if you nominate some one else |
shall labor for his election with
fearnestness and loyalty. There
are so many loyal and deserving
democrats in every county in the
district who are more able than
l am to conduct the approaching
campaign, and more able than I
am to represent all our people in
the halls of congress, that l hesi-
tate to make this formal an
nouncement Of my candidacy.
IT am mindful too that already
in the running are Hon. Sol.
Gallert of Rutherford, Hon.
Frank R. Hewitt of Buncombe,
Hon. Walter E.. Moore of Jack
son, and Hon. J. M. Gudger, Jr..
of Buncombe. Every one of
these men are stalwart demo-
Gratis and worthy gentlemen.
Their friendship I have had the
honor for years to enjoy. But l
would be less than human if l
were unresponsive to the f1atter-
ing suggestion which is coming
to me daily through word and
letter and district press.
Down with Aldrichism. Can
nonism and Grantism viii be the
democratic slogan in the ap-
preaching campaign. The party
lin power violating, its written
tpromises to the people, has
Elegahzed a public robbery that
has amazed the world among
other things this is Aldrichism.
Time and again a sovereign peo-
pie, through their representatives
