A WISE CHANGE.

The He~ndersonville School Board is
I be congratulated upon its prompt
action in changing the school hours to
conform to the desire of the majority
of the parents and pupils of the city.
The two session a day plan was not
approved by many and they were quite
earnest in their protests. AS it is
now, the pupils get the same school,
ing advantages and may reach their
homes in time to prepare their lessons
fer the. following day and do what lit
tie duties may devolve upon them at
home. There are many reasons why
the one session plan is best, but the
first of these is hat it is desired by
the pupils and their parents as well
as the teachers, all of whom are most
concerned.

GOV. CRAIG FOR SETTLEMENT.

This paper has long considered
Locke Craig an intellectual giant and a
RAN who possessed the courage of his
| convictions. 1t has been his personal
ard political friend because of his at
fable disposition and the loyalty to
democratic principles which has char
acterized his public areer. And re-
cent events have amply justified the
confidence our western people have re-
POSED in him for the past quarter of a
century. We used to know him as
Craig the man, and Craig the politi-
clan; now we know him as Craig the
statesman. He stands higher in the
estimation of the people today than
ever before and his administration will
go down in history as one of the most
pleasing and prosperous periods the
State has experienced for a long term
of years. He reaches conclusions by
careful research and imparts them to
he public in a manner that permits OF
no misunderstanding. He shirks no
responsibility and ~entertains no hidden
motives in proclaiming his convictions.
Such is Locke Craig, the statesman,
who stood before a large audience III
the state capital on Tuesday of last
week and spoke his mind upon the mo-
mentous question of freight discrimi-
nation against North Carolina shippers
ana adjustment proposed by the car
riers through the Corporation Commits
sion. The Governor faced hundreds CT
representatives of the State Just
Freight Rate Association who had as
scmbled to counsel against accepting
the terms proposed, but he stood up
ike>the man he is and proclaimed his
convictions that the State could we'll
afford to accept them as beginning to-
wards complete justice. He is not the
man to yield an honest conviction for
the sake of public commentator, but
enc who seeks to do the right as he
sees the right.
That the Legislature will sustain the
Governor in his recommendations AMI
save $4,000, 900 a year to the State III
freight rates, provided in the agree
proposed, there appears ia be
little reason for doubt. The members
see in it an opportunity of placing an
entering wedge which will ultimately
bring results even more favorable
and, too, a majority of them appear to
realize that "a bird in the hand Is
worth two in a BUSH"

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT is DUE.

In the settlement of the freight rate
controversy there are honors enough
to go round and Hon. E. J. Justice, the
able representative from Guilford, is
entitled to a large share of the credit.
He has been hammering away on the
proposition for years, in season and
out, and to his persistent efforts is
largely due the present termination Of
the controversy, contemplated in the
cali of the Governor for this extra SEES
sion of the General Assembly. Mr..
Justice has given the question careful
thought and serious consideration from
every angle. His counsel has been
sought at each turn of the way-and
never in vain. Now, that a settlement
is in sight, it is but justice to an earn
est and patriotic citizen to accord to
him the measure of credit to which he
is entitled. This is precisely what
Governor Craig did in his speech be-
fore the Freight Rate Association and
members of the General Assembly and
this paper is in hearty accord with the
Governors estimate of him. Mr.. Justice
fights in the open to win. Dark and
devious ways are strangers to him and
such a word as fail does not appear in
his vocabulary.
But, after all, the most effective ser
vice rendered the State in the freight
rate controversy this year has been
performed by the Corporation Commits
sion. When negotiations between the
Special Legislative Commission and
representatives of the carriers were
declared at an end,-without any bene-
al results to the State,-the Corpor-
atlon Commission took the matter up
Erd, after months OF persistent effort,
presented the only solution that has
received consideration. Months ago
Commission instituted a suit with the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
""-npel the railroads to reduce their
freight rates in in North Carolina, bus
tie Legislature decreed that this SER
wee should be performed by a. special
commission and the department wisely
concluded to let the matter rest until
i . legislative commission completed
It's Investigations. And when all hope
of reaching an agreement had been
abandoned Chairman Travis and his
associates renewed their efforts and
brought in the only proposition in
sight. Out hat is off to the Corpora
ton Commission. 1t is all right.

THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION

The attention of our readers is eS-
pecially directed to the proclamation
of Governor Craig, elsewhere in this
issue, setting apart Wednesday and
Thursday, November 9Th and 9th, as
good roads days" throughout the
State this year. 1t is, by far, the most
important document that has emanat-
ed from the Executive Chamber since
Governor Craig came into Office and
makes mighty interesting reading for
the thousands of good roads enthusi-
asts in North Carolina. The Governor
speaks his mind clearly and concisely
in presenting the reasons that prompt
I'd the PRONUNCIATION of this ringing
call to service and it should meet with
a hearty response from the people II
every walk of life. One of the great
est needs of the State today is better
roads and Governor Craig appears to
have set himself to the task of seeing
this need supplied. He has unfoldeA
a plan of action unique in character
and f~ar-reaching in effectiveness. it
is no longer a reflection upon a mans
standing in the community to do SER
vice on the public roads, but a patri-
otto duty. The Governor of the State
! says in his call: Let no man be above
this work, 10 forget his duty to him
self and his neighbors. 1t will be an
honor to every man on these days TO
f:cm the country the curse of bal
roads and the wells that accompany
them. Let all the people of every sta
ton, high or low, be moved by the
same patriotic impulse to work for the
common veal. To all the benefit will
come. Let all participate" In
hand. The field is ripe unto the ha~-
vest. Let it not be said of us here ii
Western North Carolina, the home Of
our distinguished Chief Executive, that
the laborers are few.
Every well-informed citizen of the
State will concur in the suggestion
that n of the greatest needs of
constructing and maintaining her pub
lie roads. Speaking for itself TINS
is in hearty accord with Governor
Craig and ventures the hope that the
Plan he proposes will mark the beg
inning of a new era of road building
in this great commonwealth. In this
wer against the demon, mud let
Io n become faint of heart or weak
II spirit.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Letters will be gladly received for
this column from people on Timely
Subjects. Be sure the signature is
signed to each letter.

Editor of Western Carolina Democrat:
| have just finished reading several
r:en's views on how to keep the boys
on the farm. They all good but the
most important matters as 1 see it is
left out by them all. In the first place
we must make the farm and the home
on the farm a good place for every
body. We must teach the boys to be
good to always do right, but not tie
them as you would a mule in the stall.
He is not made that way. Give the
boy a reasonable liberty, give him
Elenty of music or musical instru-
ments in the home. Give him just as
SOod eatableS as he can get anywhere.
IN short make his home a happy place
While he is a boy, then as he begins
to be a man give him something of
lis own, of his choice. During all this
time give him a practical education.
But the most important thing is to
learn him how to farm; learn him
how to make from 40 to IS bushels of
corn per acre, from 20 to. 40 bushels
of wheat, etc., etc. How to raise
horses; yes give him a colt to call his
CIV n, teach him how to raise cattle,
sheep and hogs; get him as he grows
up to love these things and how to
make a living on the farm and you
parents show him that you love and
prefer farm life and he will inherit
that love. r. M. PRYOR.
P. S-IT tell you boys how to
make that corn and wheat in the next
issue. r. M. p.

Plant Cover Cr0ns.

County Demonstration Perkins in
slSts that the farmers of Henderson
county should plant more cover crops.
He has been urging the expediency of
planting these crops wherever he has
teen and has induced a number. of
farmers to heed his advice. He says
that they will not only reap a direct
reward but will also be gamers in the
future through the increased fertility
of the soil. He insists that cover
crops will do more for this section of
the state than any thing else that he
can, suggest.

WHY NOT SET THE PACE.

Governor Craig has issued a procla-
nation setting aside the 9Th and 9Th %
November as Good Road Days. He
has asked all patriotic citizens to de-
vote these two days to the improving
and building of roads in their several
localities. The idea while not origi-
nal, is an awfully good one. Other
states have adopted it and much ben
eft to the public thoroughfares has
been the result. All North CAROLYN
ianE will pay heed to the Governors
proclamation and hundreds of miles
of good roads will be added to the
states assets by virtue of it. Hende"-
son county needs many more roads
and better roads than it now has. It
is a good opportunity to set a pace
for the other counties of the state by
showing the mthat we lead and do no.
follow. Let every able bodied man IN
the county who can possibly do so,
help in county road building on the
days set by the governor. If they
may not leave their business, let them
contribute an amount which would
urchase the labor of a man for the
same length of time. This money can
be devoted to the hiring of substi-
sutes where such is necessary. Tie
women also can be of the greatest as
sistance to the men on these road
days. They car furnish the lunches
and cheer the men on with their work
as they did in Missouri and Kansas
and those other States where Good
Road Days have been very successful.
Henderson county people II nothing
# not progressive and it would be u
fine advertisement for the county to
have it go abroad that it's people set
the pace" in the building and repair
ing of roads on the fifth and sixth of
November.

JUST THE BEGINNING.

According to a news item which ap-
pears in another column of this paper
the Southern Railway ran a train
every forty minutes during the season
Just passed, between Hendersonville
and AsheVille. Now that is going
some and proves that there is some
traffic in and out of this busy city.
These trains had all that they could
d to accommodate the travelling public
and some Of them were so crowded
that seats were not to be had. The
time is near at hand when the necessi-
y for a train every thirty minutes
VIII make itself felt for Henderson
vile has just begun its period of de-
Eclopment
