LOCAL CITIZENS WORK IN
RAIN AND COLD TAKING
/. CENSUS OF ToWN-MANY
FOUND WHO NEVER SAW
GOVERNMENTS MAN.

The Hustler's prophecy many
months ago did not lack much
after all to coming ti1e. There
are nearly 1000 people in Hender-
sonville all the year round, in ex-
act figures from the repert sworn
to by the unmerators 3,795..
When the call was made by the
city council for volunteers to take
the census of HenderSonville over
there were many young men to
respond. Ali day Wednesday
through the rain there were six
Epublic spirited citizens plodding
from house to house getting the
names of every person who inhab-
tied the place, both white and col
cred. 1t was a quick piece of
work and numerators should be
praised for their efforts and sue
cess in increasing the governments
version of Hendersonville s pop
ulation.
Those who claimed to have
been sighted In the last census,
responded to the call and were
listed as residents of the town.
The last. census, however does in
clude a few who live here yet do
not call the town their home.
In the lat week. s issue of the
Hustler it was stated that 3, 400
people was required of town be-
fore receiving a free delivery sys-
tenn. This is not correct. There
are some towns with less than that
number of people enjoying the
free delivery.
To be on the safe side and an
swer the enquiries made by many
of the leading citizens, who have
felt some time, that the town had
nearly 1000 people the city coun-
ell authorized a recount of the pop
ulation. These figures will be for
warded to the government, togeth
er with the exces report Of about
33 and one third percent postof-
fee receipts for the year 1910 in
aiding in the securing Of free de-
livery by June 1st.

MY Valentine.
By Georgette Ruth Pardue.

By Georgette Ruth Pardue.
Composed at IA years.
A little maid with locks of gold,
A pair of eyes Of tender blue,
A little hand l love to hold,
A heart so loving, warm and true.
Two ruby lips ] love to kiss,
Two cheeks like roses in their
bloom.
(My love for her / know she II

And in her heart for me find
room.
I've sent to her a great red heart
On which sweet words of love ap-
pear,
With Cupid's gay and Powered
dart
And angels smiling faces fair.
And one l know VIII Cv---e to me
From her, my darling, ever mine,
And on it these sweet words I'll
see,
For Papa. from his Valentine.

Mrs. Rutledge Die.

1t was learned here Tuesday
that Mrs. James Rutledge of Flat
Rock died In Baltimore while on
visit to that city. Mrs. Rutledge
is well known In the Flat Rock
settlement. She was formerly from
Charleston, s. G., but In recent
years has lived In Flat Rock where
she had a beautiful cottage. The
news of her death was a great sor-
row to her many friends In thi1
county.

There is strong inclination for
state aid to good roads, the Uni
versity calls for half a million, it
is admitted the public schools need
more money, and the administra-
ton building will undoubtedly
pass. All this means money and
piles of it. !.
Of legislation peculiarly inter
esting to Western North Carolina
there has been little or none. Moth
| ing has been heard of the West
ern Training School, which has
not very many friends, it would
seem. There is feeling that the
establishment of this school In
Western North Carolina would
conflict with the interests of the
two little institutions now estab-
lished there, both of which have
men here working for them.
A proposed tax of five cents a
cord on tan bark and acid wood
seems to be favorably thought of.
The shipper would pay half and
the buyer. half. : Inspectors at $75.
a month would be appointed to.
measure the wood. The bill is de-
signed to protect the shipper.
Another bill, not yet introduced,
however, would tax saw logs ten
cents a thousand feet, the revenue
derived to be expended in pro-
tecting forests from fire.
All of the many Henderson
county and Hendersonville bills
are either in the hands of the vari-
Gus committees or about ready to
be voted on In the house Judge
Ewart has introduced more than
twice as many measures as any
other representative-about forty
in all. As there is an abundant
supply of ink and white paper
here, and sti11 two weeks more
time in which to legislate, the
Judge may make it an even hun
dred. But, dearest, there is a
marked and distinct difference be-
tween introducing bills and get
ting them passed, and it will be in
teresting to note the sum total Of
! Ewart s successful legislation at
the end of the session. Some of
his bills are, in the opinion of the
house leaders, absolutely imprac-
ticable, and a close reading
| of them is apt to convince the
average man of this But the
Judge is of different calibre from
Marshall, the republican repre-
sentative from Surry, whose idiot
ic free school books bill, calling for
an expenditure of two millions or
more, was recently killed. The
house made a free exhibition of
the gentleman from Surry who
has been very quiet and sedate
from that time. Ewart's "dog,
bachelor and justice of the peace
bill" rather destroyed that gen.
tleman s standing in the house.
1t was looked upon as frivolous
and silly legislation and while the
members had all sorts of fun with
the author of the freak bill, the in
PRODUCTION of such an absurd
measure has had tendency to de-
stroy Ewart s usefulness here.
Up to Saturday, Feb. 18th, there
had been 935 bills introduced, of
which number 200 have been rati-
fed. Two years ago there were
914-so the present session is
somewhat ahead.
Hendersonville is 1852 feet high.
Just now it is still nearer heaven
for it's most substantial citizen,
Judge C. M. Pace, for 46 years
clerk Of Henderson county, is In
Raleigh, which has sunk noticea-
bly, since that gentleman's arrival.

(staff Correspondence.


Raleigh, Feb. l4-You are in
the crowded gallery of the house
of representatives, in the very
front row of course, and so intent
upon the moving picture show Of
legislative action that you lean
forward until there is some danger
of topping forward on to the
heads of the distinguished gentle
men below.
You are interested and only a
wooden Indian would not be. They
are discussing the Connor uniform
bill of lading bill and the hon
orable gentlemen are expressing
their sentiments with the utmost
frankness. Connor is telling the
members that a negotiable bill of
lading, (the purpose Of the meas
ure) is but just protection to the
banks and is,a good business meas
ure, but Ray of Macon insists the
banks have protection enough
now and that the bill enacted into
law would open the doors to
fraud. Speaker Dowd, ON the
floor, condemns the bill, q dozen
other men are clamoring for
a hearing. Ray wakes sarcastic
and Connor, heatedly, declines to
be further interrupted In his
speech. At times it looks as
though there might be trouble, but
finally things quiet down bit and
a vote is taken. The bill viii
probably become a law.
Two weeks from next Saturday
and the general assembly ad-
journs. But, girls, every little sin
gle solitary minute of the inter
vening time is going to be chock
full of pulsating, throbbing, gal
vanic life and energy. It certainly
is. There's going to be morning,
noon and night sessions, and the
legislative mill, running on the
fast pully, geared up to its high
est speed, is going to work over
time and all the time But when
the lights are finally turned off and
the big building no longer echoes
to the eloquence of the people s
representatives, there's going to
be some important laws added to
the already big law books Of the
State and its all got to be done
within the next two weeks.
Here's a list of the bic legiSla-
ton to be handled:
The state primary law.
The antitrust bill.
Insurance investigation.
Statewide good roads legisla-
ton.
The million dollar administra-
tiOn building.
Spainhour's measure appropri-
ating 100000 more for public
schools.
Doughton's bond bill to take
care Of bonds due In 1913 and to
make up deficiency in treasury.
Different measures aimed to i'm
prove judicial procedure-more
districts, increase in salaries, and
to make the judges do a little
more hard work. to earn their sal
aries.
Koonce Of Onslow has a measure
IN the house increasing the pen
sion appropriation to a million
dollars. It is now less than half
that and Mr.. Koonce would have
North Carolina deal as generous
iy with the old soldiers as Florida
does, at least.
The appropriation bill of course,
will call for the most talk and the
hardest fighting. It promises
now to assume gigantic proper
dons-it will have to if all the
measures talked Of finally get
HEOugh both senate and house.

THE HUMBLE SUGAR BEET

There Is usually an old horse on
every farm that is the favorite Of
the family. He isn't the best look
ing animal. nor does he travel the
fastest clip. He has to do the most
work, because he does it the best
and with the least objection. The
fancy stunts 60 to his better looking
brothers. The very fact that he is
10ved makes his life one Of honest
= toll with no more, or perhaps not
so much reward as the other horses.
He is the backbone of the farm, but
he never has any blue ribbons hang
ing about his stall.
The sugar beet to the Weld county
farmer is the same to his fields As
Old DObbin Is to his stock. In the
aristocratic days Of farming in Weld
the humble sugar beet was spurned.
II was only after . hard fought cam
paign with the conservatives that
the industry became established
here. And in the years that the i'm
dustry has been steadily developing
has come-the realization that tho
honest old sugar beet is most
friendly crop to the farmer.
Perhaps the emphasis Of its value
is greater this year than ever before,
but the fact remains the same. The
nearest approach to the great yield
of this year was in 1907 when. as all
can remember, the farmer needed
cash badly, as did everybody else.
HA fu- - -,
money at q time when they needed
It, just rs they will this year.
As the growers are learning bet.
ter how to take care of this crot
they are being rewarded in proper
tion. The sugar content will aver
age higher this year than ever be
fore. The price the farmers viii
get for the crops will average more
The exact figures are not yet obtain
able but will be published as soOl
as factories have them compiled
These salient features of the suga
beet are only q part Of the benefit
that are derived from the crop. The
arc not only = guarantee to tn
farmer of fair return for his labor
but have = fixed value. The grove
knows what he may expect for hi
crop, rs the price is set before h
plants. He does not have to battl
with the middle men for his pfic
or be forced to sell at = time whe
tho price Is lowest. He knows no,
mach he will get At the lowest figur
and under the present scale he is y
sured . larger price in proportion I
tho skill he exerts in bringing HI
boots to maturity.
The humble beet is also . friendl
neighbor to all other crops and hell
thea. It II also . friend to Il
daikying industry, that must even
ually Be developed in this sectio,
Tho cows Of Wisconsin bring Il
farmers moro cash than do the gol
mines Of Colorado and California.
Not only this year, but In Il
years to como will the humble sug,
