Along with the many other fea-

the greatest that it has ever en-
joyed, comes the welcome news
that we are to have free mail de-

all prerequisites have been COM

it is almost certain that we will
have the delivery. The Inspector,

said that he did not know any

IN evidence that man named
Henderson was the proprietor of
the cafe where the liquor was
found. j. M. Campbell, local

fense, was a mere waiter or dish
washer in the cafe and had moth
ing to do with keeping for sale

man with common sense will find

as 1 do, myself But l hope all
the automobiles will travel that
road. Anyhow, they are here,
and here to stay, and we might
as well recognize that fact.
When this road out our way is
finished | hope the chain gang
will go somewhere else In the
county where a good road is need
ed as bad as we have been need
ing it here. And now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, come out and see this road
We are all proud of it and we are
helping to build it.
AS to Mr.. Patton. l think he
is the right man in the right place
and l hope he stays there.
He is man that is giving us
good roads without bonds.
! He is building them cheaper
than free labor could do it.
And he is building them to
last.
l believe that a change in the
office Mr.. Patton fills, no matter
how capable his successor might
be, would be the worst thing that
could happen to Henderson coun-
ty roads.
Mr.. Patton has no foolish no.
tions about roads. Every dollar
he gets from the tax payers for
that purpose is expended for the
benefit of all the people and is
spent with the carefulness of a
trained business man.
He has natural and trained
ability when it comes to building
roads. His work shows that. He
has a reputation that extends into
other states. He has the ability
to get much free labor several
thousand dollars wefth the last
year. The chaingang is safe in
his hands gets the finest re-
suits possible from it.
This is no time, Mr.. Editor, to
place a new and untried man, no
matter how faithful and earnest
he may be, in charge of the roads
Mr.. Patton is working in cause
he believes in-good roads he is
experienced, he gets results cheap
ly. and in his hands the roads OF
the country will be improved
wisely, for he has no foolish, un-
tried notions. He just builds the
/ roads and we all know it.

The Tobacco Trust decision is
characterized by Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham as most COM
prehensive and sweeping victory
for the government.
The trust is held to be a combi-
nation in restraint of trade a
monopoly in violation of law.
The decision affects 65 Amer
ican corporations, two English
corporations, and 20 individual
defendants.
An opportunity is given the
trust to disintegrate and re-create
a condition of transacting bust
ness not repugnant to law.
If at the end of six or eight
months the corporations fail to
bring themselves within the law
a receiyership and dissolution by
court decree will follow.
The trust is held to have been
guilty of intimidation and clear
ly to have shown purpose to
stif1e competition.
Chief Justice White announced
the decision which was practical
ly unanimous although Justice
Harlan dissented on several points.

ernment today won a sweeping

the approaching convention pro,a-
lses to be one Of the most enjoy
able as well as interesting that
the association has ever known.
1t goes without saying that the
meeting will be largely attend
ed.
At Kanuga Club.
The place of meeting is the well
known Kanuga Club near Hen
dersonyille. This convention last
year was held at Wrightsville
Beach on the coast. This year it
goes to the mountains. And in
the opinion of those in a posi-
ton to judge it is believed that
the association made the happi-
est selection possible In it's
choice of a place of meeting, Ka-
'nuga Club is held under private
ownership but was established
as the summer home for limit
ed number of congenial people,
each paying a membership fee to
cover certain cooperative features.
1t is not, therefore, a public sum-
mer resort, its patronage being
entirely from the club members
and their guests. In the organi-
zation and plan every effort was
made to build place that should
have an atmosphere akin to that
of home and to carry out ra-
tional plan of living that would
meet the requirements of a cul-
tured community. While having
all of the wholesome amusements
usual to high-class mountain-lake
resorts, emphasis has been put on
