These messages. the anxious in
quirers read repeatedly until they last
swooped down upon the newspaper
Office on Third avenue to the rear Of
the drug store. The crowd stands
around anxious to grab the first news
paper fragrant with fresh black ink
before it rolls from the press, which
is now waiting to sing its familiar
weekly tune of neutrality-suspicious.

Sketch Of Life.

s. Y. Bryson, hereabOuts popularly
Known as "Sam," is thirty-six years
Old, having been born on a farm near
HendersonTille in 1877. He is the son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph A. Bryson and
mas spent the greater part of his life
II and around Hendersonville. His
mother was the daughter of Col. T. w.
taylor, who was the second sheriff of
henderson county and senator of this
district for two terms in the general
assembly.
by reason of the Importance attach
eo to the appointment of the new post
master, the following sketch of Mr..
6ryson's activities will doubtless be
OF interest:
when small boy his parents moved
% Hendersonville and Sam entered
private school for the first time under
MISS Diana Bowen on the Bowen hill
property. He later entered the city
public school in the. old Wodburn
academy, later entering Judson col
Nge' Leaving Judson college he ac-

Heavy Clay Subsoil.

An impervious subsoil hinders deep
roofing for alfalfa and orchards es-
pecially. It oftens brings the water
table so close to the surface that all
crops are forced to shallow roofing
by it.

German Practice.

1t is found that subsoil clays of lime
stone origin are never sticky even
when all lime is leached out. It IS
because the clay through previous ac-
ton of the lime is focculated. The
German farmer makes use of this fact
He used quick1ime in winter, so that
IT will work down and be carried by
the spring rains into the subsoil MAX
ing it loose for root penetration.

MR.. GUDGER'S ANNOUNCEMENT
CREATED GREAT INTEREST.
Notice by Hustler Democrat of POST
Office Situation in Jastus Pharm-
acy Attracted Much Attention

Congressman j. M. Gudger wired
the Hustler Democrat from Wash
ington last week, Informing the pub
l:shers that he would be unable to
make announcement of the appoint
nient o fthe new postmaster for Hem
dersonville until this week. The
kilograms were received too late for
publication, but were posted in the
window Of the Justus pharmacy,
they were viewed by hundreds Of peo-
pie who watched the window daily
with the hope that something further
would develop for the paper to an
nounce, as Mr. Gudger had assured
the publishers that they would be the
first to receive this important piece
OF news.
On Tuesday of this week further
notice was placed in the window to
the effect that the appointment would
positively be made and that Mr.. Gud-
ger was making his announcement
only through this paper The people
daily, almost hourly; watched and
read the notice with increased inter-
est and manifested an Importance IN
learn the news before it Appee- ID in
the paper. They visited the news
paper Office and gathered in knots on
the streets and in the drug store and
feverishly discussed the matter and
also pretended that they wanted to bet
a little money on their favorites
chances.
The following kilograms were re-
ceived from Mr.. Gudger:

Supplementing this announcement.
Mr.. Gudger in a letter to the editor of
this paper said: ST earnestly request
that you do not give this information
Out prior to the issue of your paper,
as the same will not be made known
here until late Wednesday evening"
which is in explanation of the silence
kept on this question by the newspa-
per Office.
The news comes as a great source
CT satisfaction to Mr.. Bryson's many
friends, who have felt confident of his
success in this race over the other
candidates: w. F. Edwards, T. M. Nc
Cullough, Wm B. Reed and c. E.
Brooks.
Owing to the secrecy with which
this story had to be guarded before
Publication, it was not possible for a
representative of this paper to inter-
view any of the candidates and receive
statement with reference to their
attitude toward Mr. Gudger's recon-
mendation of Mr.. Bryson.
It was reported yesterday that NJ.
Brooks had stated il Mr.. Gudger did
not recommend him, the appointment
would be held up. When asked if this
report was true, Mr.. Brooks declar-
ed as he had previously to the news
paper representative in this respect.
that he would accept his defeat with
good graces and cheerfully abide by
the results Of Mr.. Gudger's action.
lie declared that he had said nothing
to form the basis of such a report.

Between
Ourselves

"The man who dreams himself into
n character" says the "Silent Part
ner,n a little monthly publication
that regularly reaches the writer's
desk, will wake up without as much
as a remembrance of his vision"
1t is really remarkable how FEW
dreamers there are in the business
world today. The modern worker is
n pretty busy individual and he has
little time for dreaming. He has his
labor cut out for him and he pur-
sues his task with plenty of enthu-
siasm, but little emotion or senti-
nent.
A dreamer's lot, however, while not
exactly a profitable one, has its
recompenses. We believe that senti'
mental people get more REAL pleas
ure out of life than prosaic folks.
What a splendid world this would
be II only we could COMBINE senti-
ment and romance with our hum
drum, sordld Jobs. oh, we'll

delphia
The greatest conflict of modern
times. the Philadelphia divine de-
clared, had imposed a great burden
OF added work upon the American
Bible Society. "Tens of thousands
OF Bibles have already been sold to
soldiers of all the warning nations,

aid if it is to take the fullest pos
sible advantage of the opportunity

Fifteen Overcome by Fumes
OF Burning Sugar on Ship

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-Fifteen per-
sons were overcome last night while
fighting a stubborn fire on board the
Atlantic Transport steamer Minne-
waska at her pier in the North River.

feet below the main deck. The fire
secured firm hold on part of the

compartment. The entire crew and
several companies of the New York
department fought the fire.
Gases from the burning sugar over
came twelve of the MlnnewaslSas crew
and three city firemen.

The New Fashions
And the Corset

The wheel of fashion has turned again and the
indicator now points backward to the styles of
1880. Skirts are full and short; waists long, with
corsage.
The sudden leap from the kimono to the basque
can only be achieved by the corset II is true
that the figure makes the gown--it is even truer
that the corset makes the figure.
You cannot the new gowns successfully
unless you are properly corseted.
The corset Is the foundation of your gown.
And as the fashions change, styles in corsets also
change. The corset this Fall is vastly different
from the models of last Spring and Summer. You
cannot fit the new Moyen Age, Basque and Redin-
cote costumes over the old corsets. The new
models completely change the outline of your
figure.
Come and see the beautiful new R. & 6. models
in our Corset Department. They are made
with higher bust line and are slightly nipped at
the waist to show a graceful n-curve from the
bust to the hips

GIRL, 20, RULES LUXEMBOURG
Duehy Where First Blow Of War Was
Struck Ia Small but IMPORTANT

Duchy Where First Blow Of War Was
Struck is Small but important.
BY occupying the Duchy Of Luxem-
burg Germany struck the first serious
blow Of the war. This operation open
ed up the famous Trou de Treves gap
in the French fortified lines. which Is
approached by the Luxembourg railway.
About this place apprehensions were
expressed by military men in France a
year ago.
The Grand Duchy Of Luxembourg is
one Of the smallest independent states
in the world. with an area Of less than
1000 square miles. and it's ruler. the
Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide. is the
youngest ruler in Europe She is
twenty years Of age. The little duchy
very nearly precipitated the Franco
German war three years earlier than it
occurred, and 1t was declared neutral
state in May. 1867.
Luxembourg lies on the high road
from Belgium to Italy. between
France. Belgium and Germany. Its
population is about 100000. but geo.
graphically and politically its impor-
lance is relatively great. The state IS
located partly In one Of the richest iron
ore fields in the world and produces
about one-fortieth Of the worlds total
output Of raw iron.
