HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop u.

A young Calf. wife talks about conee:
1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial. but my
nerves were SO shattered that l was
a nervous wreck and Of course that
means all kinds of ails.
AT first I thought bicycle riding
caused It and I gave 1t up. but my con-
dition remained unchanged. did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for I was very fond Of 1t. At
that time a friend came to live with
us, and I noticed that after he had
been with us n week he would not
drink his coffee any more. asked him
the reason. He replied. I have not had
a headache since left off drinking cof-
fee, some months ago. till last week,
when began again, here at your table.
don't see how anyone can like coffee,
anyway, after drinking Postum
II said nothing. but at once ordered
a package Of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company. and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suffer-
ing. SO he returned to Postum. con-
vinced that coffee was an enemy, in
stead of a friend, and he is troubled
no more with insomnia.
'T. myself, have gained pounds In
weight, and my nerves have ceased to
quiver. It seems so easy now to quit
coffee that caused our aches and ails
and take up Postum"

A Nation Of Bridge Builders.

a Nation OF bfid9e 6uIueFs.
The United States is notably in ad-
vance Of all other nations in the
science and practice of bridge build
ing. The increasing demands of COM
merce justified longer and longer
spans, the weight of locomotives and
trains doubled and trebled. the single
bridge members increased to one hun
dred feet in length and one hundred
tons weight, wonderful steam. hy-
draulic. pneumatic and electric ma
chine tools were made to fashion them
with, and costly special shops were
built in this country and operated by
thousands of men. The methods and
facilities of erection have kept pace
with these developments. Enormous
derricks. travelling towers and steel
rope tackles operated eight at n time
by single steam or electric hoisting
engine. with many other costly spec
ial appliances, have been provided for
assembling the great members quick
ly, cheapiy and safely into the finished
span. America stands to-day far in
advance OF all the world in the dar-
ing designs, high quality and econom-
ical and rapid construction OF many
great bridges.-F. W. Skinner In Har-

Says w. A. Smith, Therefore Not
Necessary to Submit Proposition
to Vote Of the People. Will be
Discussed at Good Roads Mass
Meeting Here on March Goth.

What do you think OF the
probabilities, possibility and ad-
visibility touching the question
of Henderson county issuing
bonds to build and improve the
public roads?"
A Hustler man asked Hon. w.
A. Smith the above question,
yesterday, and Mr.. Smith replied:
Il answer by saying that there
is probably not another county in
the State which stands so much
in need of public roads and good
public roads as Henderson Coun-
ty. Her stock in trade consists
largely, if not chiefly, in what
our people get out of resorters.
AS other places are building pub
lie roads we will have to improve
our roads to keep in the process
sion. You can not find any man
with a tolerable degree of intel
ligence who will not tell you that
no county can develop without
good roads, and that, you can not
prevent any county from devel-
oping with good roads. We have.
talked so much about good roads
and permanent roads leading out
from Hendersonville that it is
now necessary and imperative that
something should be done. The
time has come, we can not ig-
more it. The greatest benefits
from building good roads will
inure to our children, and as our
children are to receive our prop
erty, it is but just that the child
ren should receive the property
in the best possible state, and it
is not unjust that the child should
carry some of the burden. There
fore, | think that the parent can
we'll afford to spend more money
on the property than he can
earn.
This brings me to the point
OF saying that | am in favor of
the parents now in power bor-
rowing money, issuing bonds on
long time, using the money to
build roads, let the roads build
up the County and our property
will let the children pay off the
bonds when they mature. With /
tnls plan we can improve our
roads leading out of Henderson
Vile in every direction so as to
De absolutely fair to every Sec
ton. This I am in favor of above
every other proposition. ] am
also IN favor of having one or
more we'll improved thorough
1ares leading through the county.
Both are practical and important,
out the thing of first Importance
Is making roads like spokes Of
Wheel leading in every direction
with the spokes as far as prac-
ucable of the same length.
AS building and improving
roads is a necessary expenditure
sae question of issuing bonds for
mat purpose, like building court
houses, jails and bridges. does
uOt have to be submitted to and
voted upon by the people; and ].

ADVOCATES A GREAT
COUNTY FAIR, To- BE
HELD ON Main ST.

Editor Hustler:
want to express my views on
an important matter that has
been brought before the public in
the columns of the Hustler. y
desire to consider seriously
the holding of a county fair early
this fall, said fair to be in CON.
nection with the contests for
prizes offered by some Of the
public spirited citizens of TIE
town and county. / am a staunch
advocate of fairs. Have been
attending them, off and on, for
forty years. Have been a life
member of an agricultural society
that holds one every year, and
from my experience and close
observation / am firmly of the
opinion that great good is done
and untold benefits derived there
from. 1t is impossible to esti->
mate the beneficial results. To
do SO, one would have to be able
to fathom the thoughts of those,
who attend them, and note the
resolutions formed, the deterrni-
nations made to go home and
mend their licks" and emulate
their more progressive brother
farmers.
In short space of time after a
successful fair is held the results
are evident. have heard Prof.
Garland, whom we all know to
be a close observer and calculator,
say in a conversation that the
fairs held a few years ago at
Laurel Park had increased the
quality of the stockin this county
fifty per cent.
I said at the outset that ]
wanted seriously to consider this
question. The condition of af-
fairs in our county, and we are
not alone, make it a serious one.
The agricultural outlook in this
county is not very bright, view it
as we may. Go to the record,
the freight books at the depot,
and see the immense amounts of
hay, grain, corn, flour, bacon
and lard that are shipped in here
that tells the story better than
/ can write it. Most of these
things should be raised at home.
This was not always the condi-
ton in this county. can well
remember the time when Hen
derson county was the Egypt for
upper South Carolina, and the
main roads in the county were.
we'll known and familiar to the
wagoners from that section, as
they would go to and fro to fill
their wagons with corn. bacon,
wheat; etc. Hearken !! From the
same section from whence those
wagons came is being sent annu-
ally fifty thousand dollars worth
of cow feed alone into North
Carolina, or perhaps more. Fifty
years ago this country was their
market. Agriculture within the
last thirty years, they tell us, has.
made more progress than in one
hundred years before. Are we
keeping up with the procession?
Are we abreast with those who
are making such rapid strides in.
practical agriculture? 1t is not
necessary for me to answer these
questions. You can do. that your.
selves.
Let us get together one and
all, all classes of people, and
move up and take our rightful
position.
The action of those generous
and wide-awake citizens who
have offered the prizes has in
spired this article, and if it re-
suits in holding fair, which I
verify believe twill do, they will
deserve and receive the credit.
