GOOD ROADS REPRESENTATIVES,
INTEREST LARGE AUnIENCE.

In the Lyric theatre Friday after
noon, a large, representative crowd
of citizens gathered to hear the Good
Roads question discussed.
Mayor Station introduced Mr.. w. j.
HuTbHrt representing the Southern
Railway who outlined the purpose
and work of the train which is now
touring the western part of the state.
Mr.. Hulburt then introduced Mr.. l..
E. Boykin who demonstrated very
forcfbly and clearly the good that &C
crues from good roads. He threw a
Dicture on the screen showing a had
road and pointed out the disadvant-
ages of such a road to any commun-
ity. Then, a picture before and az
ter it had been improved illustrating
what a change can be made in the
tie work is expended.
The mex pictures showed the OBJ
stacles of travelling over a bad road
after some improvement had been
made. These pictures showed that
only small loads ca nbe handled
when the road is bad but that on
good roads twice and sometimes four
times that load can easily be handled.
One picture showed two scenes at
Florence, Ala. On the, south side of
town where the roads were unimprov-
ed one bale of cotton was a load; on
the north side where the roads had
been improved six bales of cotton
were an average load. Following
this, was a series of pictures showing
the Importance of maintaing good
roads once they have been built.
Mr.. Boykin closed his instructive
talk by urging all citizens to unite for
better roads.
After the speaking all were given
a cordial invitation to inspect the
working models on the train at the
station.
This train which is now finishing
a tour of the western section of this
state, began operations at Mobile,
Ala, and will be on the road until the
latter part of October.
The delegates with US today will
play a prominent part in the meet
ing Of the International Good Grads
Association which will convene the
29th of October in Virginia.

LET FANCY Have Free REIN


The Charlotte Observer. underS The

editorially remarks:
The Hendersonville Times in natHr-
ally -gratifed at receiving a communi-
cation from one of its subscribers de-
claring that the reading public is
satisfied of the correctness of any
and every statement which appears in
The Times" We believe this compli-
ment is thoroughly deserved and
heartily sympathize with our contem-
porary in the pleasure it gives. We
regret to say, however, that The
Times uses the incident as the text for
a sermon upon the inexpediency and
essential immortality of imaginative
lying about ones community. 1t
talks about the absurd and grotesaue
statements which have been publish
ed and fears that these '"haYe dis
gusted ane people"
OF all places in the world Hender-
5onville is the last in which we could
endure seeing an attack made upon
the right of unlimited coinage of fam
c1fuless. This life is a hard road at
BEST and variety demands that a taste
Of the t'grotesque and absurdn he in
1ected occasionally if only to lfven
things up a bit. The accounts of
the expected volcanic eruption and
the marvellous underground river
have been read in several States with
much Interest and have been widely
copied. A wide-awake scribe in Eliz-
abeth City has done the western COM
munity the honor to copy it's method in
a spot of gold" story which evidenced
great promise. We cannot be quietly
content to watch The Times annibi-
late H~endersonville Imagination.
Seriously, we do not think there is
the slightest danger that Henderson

by these fanciful sketches. 1t is not
as IL the resort had nothing substan-
tial wherewith to attract visitors. The
splendid location of the town u
its visitors an ideal scene for their va
cation activities. The harmless fan
cies-which are not framed to de-
ceive-simply attract attention to the
more solid merits of the place. Win
stead Connecticut is not a large place
yet there are few date lines, which
occur more frequently in the metro
politan papers-simply because Win
stead has raised the science of chick
en- and snake lying into the highest
realm of fctiOnal art. Henderson
vile fction-now in a most promis-
ing 1nfancy-cannot be strangled
without a distinct loss to the reading
in these papers,.
