GOVERNOR CRAIG WILL LEAD.

In the announcement setting apart
Wednesday, the fifth day of Novem-
bcr and Thursday. the sixth day of
the same month as Good Roads
DAYS" Governor Craig's proclamation
contained these earnest admonitionS:
Let no man be above this work, nor
fol get his duty to himself and to his
nCighbors. 1t will be an honor to
every man on these days to labor with
his fellow-man to Danish from the
country the curse of bad roads and
the evils that accompany them. Let
all the people of every station, high or
lew. be moved by the same patriotic
impulse to work TO rthe common veal.
Tc all the benefit will come. Let all
participated"
The language of the Governor is so
rain that even the wayfaring man
need not mistake the meaning. 1t re-
minds one of the blanket orders the
Civil Service Commission has been &C
customed to issuing for the protection
of republican Office holders,| nthat it
covers everybody. No one is excluded.
Not even Governor Craig himself, so
he will don the .~overalls on November
fifth and furnish the people of North
CT rolina a living example of one thor
cughly imbued with conviction that
men should practice what they preach.
The determination of the Governor TO
show his faith by his works should
Ls We an electrifying effect. He has
not decided whether to do service on
the roads of Buncombe county, or
mark time on the rugged highways, so
much in need of attention, around
Raleigh. But a suit of overalls has
Ieen ordered for the express purpose
of answering the roll-call somewhere
in North Carolina on the morning Of
November fifth.
1t should be the pleasure of every
progressive citizen in the State to fol-
low the example of their patriotic
Chief Executive in this laudable UNI
dertaking. To labor is honorable,
for Gin the sweat Of their faces shall
men eat bread" Let one and all pre-
pare for the service of his State on
November fifth and sixth. The Gov
crnor leads. let all follow.

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, of
Alabama, who aspires to represent his
State in the United States Senate. dis
appointed his friends a few days ago
by seeking to reflect upon the political
Integrity of Majority Leader Under
wood, also an aspirant for senatorial
horors, on the floor of the House. But
t. members on both sides of the
Chamber voiced their absolute conf
dence in Oscar Underwood and the in
cident closed with Hobson in a ridicu-
lcus plight. The kind Of campaign
Captain Hobson has started may work
in Alabama. 1t has been tried else
where and failed utterly. We are in
clined to the opinion that even Ala
5ama will decline to stand for it.

The movement by a number of the
Tuhlic spirited citizens of Henderson
vile to bring several western
farmers of the truly progressive type
to Henderson county is of vital i'm
portance to this community and the
results of which, although they may
not be seen Immediately, will ultimate
ly mean greater development for this
immediate section.
The people of Henderson county, we
we are glad to learn, are beginning to
realize the necessity for more progress
sive farming methods, n of the re-
cent evidences of which was the en-
ployment of a county farm demonstra-
tor to devote his entire time, to pro-
netting the agricultural interests of
this county.
The production of our lands is not
as great as it should be and with more
modern methods applied at compare
lively little additional cost, the yield
can be doubled. Various eason
could be given to account for the lack
of progress along this line, but the
principal reason has been insufficient
education of the farmers as to the pos
sIbilities before them, a lack Of proper
training along the lines which inter-
est them most.
While we would not undervalue the
work Of our county farm demonstra-
tor. we do not hesitate to say that a
score of progressive western farmers
IN Henderson county would do more
to stimulate agricultural interests
than would any other one influence.
By example they would stimulate u
farmers, who have chung to the primi-
tive methods of our forefathers, to
fern on more intensive and extensive
81 ales. They would instill us with
new blood and soon their influence
would be felt throughout this moun-
tain country.
The citizens who have undertaken to
send two representatives to the states
OF the Middle West are aiding and en-
couraging a most worthy cause The
reaults of the undertaking may be seen
without delay, but should they not,
those subscribing to this work should
not be discouraged for their action may
mean the sowing of seed which in. fu-
ture years may bring forth abundant
fruit.

Another big political plum is 500 to
fall into the basket of a distinguished
North Carolinian. The latest from
Washington is to the effect that ex-
Governor R. B. Glenn will soon be Of
fered a place on the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission carrying a salary
OF $4,000 per year. Accepting this
position will be much easier than de-
testing Senator Overman for re-elec-
ton and Governor Glenn may consid-
e rhimself fortunate. He is well suit
ed for the duties of Commissioner and
deserves a comfortable berth with the
administration. Few men in the
State fought harder for Wilson last
year than did r. B. Glenn and the
President does we'll to remember him.

teachers convention. Those under

teachers convention. Those under
taking this great work realize that
without the cooperation of the teach
ere it will be difficult to obtain such
an institution for this section, there
fore the teachers are urged to give the
question careful consideration.
The fact that we need better teach
ers and that the latter deserve larger
salaries is not disputed, but in order to
accomplish the desired end it is nee
essary for the teachers to keep the pa
irons of the schools and other read
ers of newspapers in closer touch with
their work from week to week. For
doing this no better medium than the
weekly or daily newspaper can be
found. Recognizing this fact We wish
to assure the teachers and others in
terested in educational work and es-
pecially those of Henderson county
that the columns of the Hustler-Dem-
oCrat are at the disposal of those who
will contribute short, timely articles.
We would be pleased to have a num-
bes of short articles each week from
the teachers, relative to their work,
their views as to the best methods of
conducting certain phases of the school
work, etc.
As a suggestion We mention the.
work of a Henderson county teacher
who by a little personal work, a box
supper and other forms of entertain
T1ent raised $50 for a school library
and SO for a library case. We do not
hesitate to say that a teacher with
suct. enterprise as this should give
publicity to her work and thereby benz
eft some of her co-workers by inspir-
ing them to greater deeds. In order
to encourage the teachers and others
interested we invite occasional timely
articles on educational questions.

q CIVIC CLUB.

There are trying periods in the his
tory of all civic organizations which
may hope to accomplish the good for
which they were organized and it is
apparent that the Greater Henderson
Vile club has just emerged from a Sc
/ ries of difficulties which will not have
to be experienced again. Situations
arose which were calculated to create
discord, but again, and forever we
TIT st, the surface is calm and the
work of the club is moving along most
tremendously.
The Greater Hendersonville club is
among the few of a large number Of
sn all cities employing a full-time sec
+ rotary. The detail work, and too
nLch attention a hardly be given
this, is in the hands of a secretary
who by reason of his long residence
in this section, is thoroughly familiar
with local conditions. His long expe-
rience as a publisher peculiarly quail
ties him for the work to be done and
we are pleased to know that the bust
ness for the community is now being
undertaken in a very systematic way.
There is a great work before the
Greater Hendersonvil1e club; the pos
sIb'lities are almost unlimited and we
trust that Secretary T. r. Barrows
will during the next few months prove
the necessity of employing a secretary
for full time and paying a salary sufi-
Gently large to Justify him in giving
his whole attention to the affairs Of the
organization.
Without the support and co-opera-
ton of the full membership of the
club the greatest possible good cannot
be accomplished regardless of the
amount of attention given the duties
by the secretary and for this reason
we would urge the people of Hender-
senville and Henderson county to unite
in making a greater city, county and
WesterneNorth Carolina.

Governor Sulzer, of, New York, re-
ceived a dirty deal at the hands of his
traducers and prosecutors in the Cen
eral Assembly of that State last week,
when he was removed from office by
the votes of members prejudiced
against him, There was no evidence
to justify the conclusion to remove
HIM as governor and not d~isqualify
him from holding Office hereafter. He
Lad dared to displease Tammany and
declare his purpose to stand with the
people. This was sufficient provoca-
ton for Boss Murphy, who controlled
the Assembly, and a political lynch
ing" followed with the least possible
difficulty. Sulzer has his faults, but
with a fair trial he would have been
acquitted. No odium attached to his
official acts.

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.


There are various forces at work in
Western North Carolina with the vier
to securing better educational faeili-
ties, better salaries for teachers and
better instructors for the children OF
this country. Educators in various
counties in this section are being urged
to unite with similar forces from other
Counties in the hope of securing a
81 eat teachers training school in. Yves
tern North Carolina within the next
year or two.
Certain forces have been at work in
Henderson and other counties and on
next Saturday the matter will be
placed before the Henderson County

BOARDING HOUSE ASSESSMENT.

The old political saying that the
horse that pulls the pillow should have
the fodder is quite applicable when It
comes to advertising for summer tour
lists by the various civic organizations
opd the Greater Western North Car
cLra association. We are pleased 10
knew that the Greater Hendersonville
club is taking up the matter of sub
scriptions in a most systematic man
ner by dividing the hotels and board
ing houses into four classes and plac-
ing a fair assessment on each class.
The annual assessments range from
800 to SO, the last amount applying
to the majority of boarding h~ouses,in
Hendersonville and vicinity receiving
the benefit of advertisements in the. lit
erature published by the Henderson
Vile club and the Greater Western
North Carolina association.
1t has been the custom for a number
of well patronized boarding houses I'd
receive the benefit of invaluable ad-
We rtising although they refused to help
support the club. 1t is through the ac-
tIvities of these organizations that the
boarding houses and hotels receive the
lsrger portion of their business and
therefore it is but reasonable that they
help share the expenses of bringing
tho tourists to this section. The
Greater Hendersonville club gives the
assurance that it is the sense Of the
Association and the local club that
only those who help support these or
carnations shall receive their support.
Working upon a business basis of this
kind we can see no reason why it Will
be profitable for the boarding
h3uses to join in the work which they
can only hope to succeed without their
cooperation.
