THE CAROLINA MOUNTAINEER."

The Carolina Mountaineer, Vol. 1,
No l., published at Waynesville by
Messrs. J.. D. Boone and G. ". Davis,
comes to us as a welcome addition to
healthy and we do not view it as does
the Asheville Citizen as being the
--latest contribution to the journalistic
vale of tears"
We do not say it realistically, but
experience and observation teaches
lis that there is no occasion for 50
rlany journalistic tears in the weekly
newspaper realm. We Judge the fault
80 be that of the publishers and not
the people.
Since the Enterprise SUSPENDED last
summer, Waynesvi1le has had Dut n
newspaper and there is room there for
another.
If the publishers will steer around
t~"eacherous political shoals, carry a
high head, hold a firm upperlip and
1--we up " us uNoILO Ill every SENSE Oh
the word: FWaynesville first, Haywood
county second, and next the mountain
section of North Carolina" we can
see no reason for a vale of tears
about their business. The first num-
Der of The Mountaineer makes a fine
showing and the paper should improve
with age.
The Hendersonville friends of Mr..
Davis, who is a son of Mr.. I'D. Davis
of this city, will be much interested
in his success as manager of the pub
lication and here is wishing him and
his associate many prosperous re-
turns.

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS
(COntributed.)
MISCELLANEOUS FACTORIES.

The division of establishments
treated under this head by the Depart
rent of Labor and Printing, includes
manufacturing enterprises that are
rot treated under cotton, wooden, silk
or knitting mills, or furniture fac
tories. As has been the case in form
er years, according to the report of
the commissioner, the manufacturing
situation in the state shows a steady
advance. Up to the end of period
covered by the reports received, June
81, 1914, no untoward conditions have
affected the industries covered. While
sales had not been below a normal
level, it is also noticeable that there
was no abnormal demand. AS it ap-
Gears to the department officials, this
is a condition much more desirable
tran one which ranges from n ex-
IRENE to the other, and makes for a
growth consistent with the develop
ment of the entire state. 1t would
be. Of course" the report continues,
"a desirable condition if the states
manufacturing industry was of a
greater magnitude, but taken as a
whole, the showing made is of a very
satisfactory nature"
The information received brings to
mind great opportunities along vari-
Gus lines that are open to develop
r. ent in the state. Most of the prod
ducts shown in the industries using
wood suggests the commissioner,
show that only the larger articles are
manufactured, leaving necessarily a
large amount of short and small pieces
o: material, which might very profta-
lily be used in the manufacture of
small articles of general use. The
same general rule, doubtless, applies
to truck and vegetables. Much of this
class Of food, late in the seasons, is
shipped at low returns, which could
more proftably be canned at shipping
POINTS. In other words, producers
should proceed on the principle save
the pennies the dollars will take
care of themselves"

THE AMENDMENTS DEFEATED.

Returns received from about ninety
feur of the one hundred counties in
the State bring the information that
the ten amendments proposed to the
constitution have all failed of ratii-
cation. The majority against the
tax amendment is around $4,000; the
other nine were defeated by MAORI
ties ranging from 5000 to $4,000.
The extreme eastern and western
counties voted for ratification, but the
large counties of the Piedmont section
Eolled a heavy vote against them.
The result is a distinct surprise to the
people of this section, where very
little opposition developed to either
CT the ten articles proposed. There

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Christmas is only four weeks ahead
Of us. The mere mention of this holt
day season suggests many pleasant
thoughts, but this is written in con-
sideration of the buying public and the
merchants.
The majority of people are prone
to postpone their Christmas buying un
til a day or two before Christmas and
for this reason the Democrat urges
early shopping. Many people are now
making Christmas novelties and are
flaming their holiday shopping. Why
delay in this important matter. Post
ronement will mean an embarrassing
rush during the few shopping days be-
fore Christmas. Time will not permit
you to give thought to yourAseleotions
and purchases and the faithful clerks
will then be imposed upon, therefore
keep the slogan of EARLY Christmas
Shopping" constantly in mind.
The Democrat has already received
its supply of Christmas material. 1t
feels the spirit of the holiday season in
the air. The stores will soon be deco
rated for the annual event and in or
DER TO promote early shopping the
Democrat this week carries its first in
srallment, which, coming early as it
Goes, deals with homemade Christmas
novelties, which make appropriate and
desirable gifts for every member of
the family. Some new and helpful sug-
gestions will be found in these articles
of particular interest to the needle
craft. Study and receive the benefits
OF these suggestions and be prepared
for others fully as valuable the next
week and make up your mind for your
own sake as well as that of others 10
do your Christmas shopping early.
Mr.. Merchant, why not prepare for
early shopping and make your holiday
announcements Immediately?

them to attend the show if possible,
and to bring an exhibit of corn and
potatoes. Even though an exhibit
can't be made, don't fail to make the
most Of this opportunity.
Henderson county is buying entirely
too much foreign-grown corn. There
is necessity for more intensive corn
growing and while we are advised that
some of the farmers are taking the
advice of the authorities, others give
them a deaf and scornful ear.
There is no reason why Henderson
county can't greatly increase its an
nual corn yield and make of it a most
profitable crop. In order to increase
the yield with the least expense, it is
necessary that the beforeAthe-war-ox-
pIowing methods be abandoned. Val
liable information is yours for the
asking. There is no excuse for a
farmer not having the proper instruc-
tons. District Agent E. S. MilIsaps
Informs us that we have a very able
Demonstration agent in the person of
IIr E. L. Perkins, who is willing to give
information when the farmers will re-
Ceive it. Both the State and National
Agricultural departments will gladly
furnish valuable bulletins on any
rhase of farming that you may desire
if you will only write a postal card in
request of same.
Henderson county farmers should
de- more reading. They should take
their home papers to keep them post
ed on local conditions and then sub
scribe for one or more good agricuI-
tural farm papers adapted to the
leeds of this section. Agr~iculCGralIy,
Henderson is a fine county, but it
needs intelligent, faithful workers to
make it blossom like the rose"
Why not turn ,over a new leaf IN
your farming methods and resolve
tc come to the corn show, then study
the most practical farm methods, and
be convinced that there are some
subjects about which you don't know
everything?

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

The Charlotte Observer thinks
''they certainly appear to be balled
UP in their efforts to place the blame
for the defeat OF the amendments on
the machine" and commenting upon
the attempt directs attention to
the fact that, Gin Guilford, where the
executive committee endorsed them'
and the county candidates spoke for
them, the amendments lost. In Cald-
well county the Democratic conven-
ton endorsed them aud Col. Edmund
Jones championed the whole business
the vote was quite a decided no"

hot have been possibly machlne-ln-
fuenced, and there the bottom OF inc
box was turned up and everything

not having been able to located th7
"Aigger in the w~oodpile," but beIle's
ing he was there all the same, all"
that was at the bottom of the dele""

It is quite evident that the Reopi0
generally did not understand O0
amendments, especially out III 'n0
country districts of this moHn'@ln
section. But there was a lot OF talk
ing about them in Guilford, Mechlen
burg, Wake and other counties "hei0

GREATER HENDERSONVILLE CLUB

The Democrat takes especial pride
iii, being able to the bring
ing of the Greater Hendersonville
club to activity again. This is a val
liable asset to Hendersonville; it has
accomplished much and the city has
reached the point where it cannot af-
fcrd to do without a commercial or
g~anization.
1t is to be hoped that not only the
lodges of Hendersonville but every
other organization may be sufficiently

,nunity to line UP for its advancement.

and it is unfortunate that the district

time when experience AM ability

The genral result in the country
presents a. hopeful aspect. SIX
months ago the Democracy felt that
it had small prospects of rera ling
control Of the House. Parry leaders
expressed the opinion that putting a
rev tariff law into operation, revis-
ing the currency system and the n
actment of other new legislation, with
insufficient time for the beneficial eff
fects upon the country to be felt and
appreciated by the people, might re-
suit disastrously to the Democracy in
the fall elections. History would
simply be repeating itself. they agreed
for the political complexion of con-
gress to change Immediately follow
ing a reversal Of conditions in the
executive department Of the govern
ment.. To have made gains in the
senate and retain a majority of more
than twenty in the house is doing re-
markedly well. !.
The Democrats have won in the
three last elections and this fact
clearly shows that Democratic prin-
ciples have a firm hold on the minds
CT the voters. The victories this
year have been won by majorities in
many congressional districts, which
were carried by pluralities two years
ago, SO that Democrats may congrat-
Ulate themselves on having defeated
the combined opposition. The admin
istration of President Wilson has been
approved and a rosy future stands out
before a party which Senator Vance
declared "is immortal and will never
die"

approved. A light Vote was cast in
the rural communities, where the
significance of the articles had not
been explained, but the towns and
cities were generally favorable to the
ratification. This condition prevailed
generally oyer the State. The amend
ments were "done to DEATH" by the
farmers. They became suspicious of
the tax amendment and, in opposing
that voted against the other nine-"to
be on the safe side" Neither their
organization officials, or the agrieul.

farmers knew what they wanted

GENERAL RESULT ENCOURAGING.

The Democracy of the tenth district
has again gone down in defeat and
President Wilson will be deprived of
a faithful lieutenant from this sec
ton of North Carolina on the 4th of
next March. The Democrats of the
district expected a heavy reduction
in the unprecedented majority given
Congressman Gudger two years ago,
but were u~nprepared for a reverse
such as the unofficial returns indi-
cate. However. they have never per-
nIitted a Republican to represent the
district twice in succession and two
years hence the Democratic banner
will be borne to victory by Governor
Locke Craig, or some other trusted
leader upon whom Democrats can
unite. The Democracy has seldom, if
ever, failed to carry the district when
it has been hopeful and united. Con-
gresham Gudger's patronage trou-
lies, the two bitter primary contests,
the condition of the lumber business
liz the far western counties, the cotton
situation in Rutherford, and base mis-
representations IF the Wilson admin
istration, generally, are the main
causes which contributed largely to
the loss of the district. Business de-
preston was worked overtime, and
Iitifui stories were poured into the
cars of the unemployed around manu-
featuring centers and in logging
camps. The European wars, with at
tendant horrors, were laid at the door
of President Wilson, and dire predie-
tons made Of fearful consequences to
this country, in the event the Demo-
Gratis retained control of congress-.
Two years ago the Republicans were
fighting one another. This year con-
dittons were reversed. The Republi>
cans buried their differences and
stood shoulder to shoulder against the
Democratic nominee. And, while
there was no organized effort amongst
Democrats to defeat their candidate,
hundreds Of them remained away
from the polls and permitted the op-
position to carry off the honors. Mr..
Gudger made a splendid fight and de-
Eseryed to win. He has reached a po.

position, such has to be overcome
by the progressive element of our.
citizenship-those of our people who
believe that there are great possible
ties before us and do not c~omplacentlS
fold their hands in utmost satisfac-
ton with our present partially deveI-
cped advantages.
AS Professor Gale aptly says: off
this county is to continue to prosper
it must improve it's methods of agri-
culture, dairying and fruit growing.
Before any community can grow rich
er it must become able to produce
more than it consumes which re-
calls to mind the deplorable fact that
Henderson county expects to buy tons
of hay, corn flour and pork every year
by growing a few cabbage and apples.
Going further he wisely says that the
way to meet the emergency is "to
produce more with less expense and
erudgery," which is the object of 4
ferm life school.
This question at no distant date
will be submitted to the people to
PASS upon and it is to be hoped that
they will give the subject the most
careful consideration, which will,
when the merits are once understood,
insure success.

YHE Ex-PREsIDENT COMMENTS.

Roosevelt progressiveism was hard
hit in the recent election-well nigh
Snnihilated. Even in New York state,
where the Colonel did his hardest
fighting, the candidate he put forth
for governor was outdistanced by
William Sulzer who, himself, came
cut third in the race. Commenting on
tn result in the Empire State, Colo
mel Roosevelt said:
I'm the Episcopal Church lessons
taken from the Bible are appointed for
every day of the year. The lesson for
November 8 includes the second Epis-
tie, of Paul to Timothy, 4:3-4, which
is as follows: =
"sFor the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine. But
after their. own lusts shall they heap
t. themselves teachers having itching
ears, and they shall turn away their
ers from the truth and shall be turn
ed unto fables"
The falling away from Colonel
Roosevelt's personally constructed
rarity is doubtless a keen disappoint-
nIent to him. The old stand-pat ele-
rent in the Republican ranks see in
it 9. return of their crowd to power
when the voters again go to the bat.
But even with Roosevelt on the shelf
they will have Woodrow Wilson to
contend with, and he is a team by
himself.

GROW MORE CORN.

In the acceptance of the invitation
TO attend the Henderson County Corn
and Potato show on December 18 by

OF kindling recognition for the necessi-
ty of a more thoughtful study of corn
growing conditions by the farmers.
Every farmer in the county should
avail himself of the opportunity to hear
tbs authority from Washington on
the latest practical methods in corn
growing, therefore the Democrat urges
