HEALTH AND GARBAGE WAGON.

The Democrats discussion on "Our
Health Record" last week did not
fall upon deaf ears We have been
freely commended for all we said. We
are urged by men in a position to
look at the situation face to face to
keep up these talks, and were it not
against the ethics of n~on-ofice, hold
ing physicians to burst into print we
would produce some eye-openers.
1t is needless for us to wink at Of
fensive hog pens and other health
m~enacing institutions in Henderson
vile. 1t is absolute folly to close our
eyes to our streets when they present
an untidy appearance and it is ignor-
ing the first laws of health to let fly
breeding conditions go unheeded.
In order that we may not make our
selves odious On these questions of
sanitation but instead show that we
have the interests OF future Hender-
sonville at heart, we will repeat what
VIC said last week, that no person or
set of persons can be blamed for e
isting conditions which should be
imputed to the neglect, laxity and in
difference of the public.
We postponed these discussions
from last summe when the State
Board of Health and many newspa-
pers were giving He~ndersonvilIe very
undesirable publicity concerning its
death rate, because we deemed such
inappropriate at the height OF our
tourist season. But now it is high
time for us to settle dewn to bust
ness and have some heart to heart dis
cussions and conferences with the

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS.
(COntrfbUted.)
By M. L. Shipman.
THE LOCAL DEMOCRACY.

There was any plausible ex-
cuse for factional differences within
the ranks of. the Democratic party i'll
Henderson county. But interna!
strife has existed for years and petty
jealousies have long been a handicap
to party progress and party success.
Abuse of one another has been a prac-
tee that should not have been i'm
posed upon a party struggling for
supremacy in a county dominated by
Republicans. The opposition has, of
course, profited by the internal dis
~sensions and external strife in DEM
ocratic ranks, and has lost no oppor-
tunity to create discomfort with the
leadership of the Democracy year by
year. There is no ground for wonder
at all that the Republicans have con-
tinued in uninterrupted control OF
the county government, while the
Democrats have been fighting amongst
themselves, instead Of training their
guns upon the enemy.
But it appears that the Democratic
party here in Henderson is approach
ing an era of peace and loyalty to
principle. The harmony which pre-
vailed throughout the deliberations of
the recent county convention shows
that the local Organization is DESTROYS
Of sharing in the deserved confidence
Of the people, generally in the admin
istrations of President Wilson and
Governor Craig, about the popularity
of which there "a be NO question.
It was a convention ~of the people
for the people, and by the people,
and the conclusions reached are the
result of harmonious action. There
was, no semblance of factionalism; no
attempt at boss domination and no
wrangles between rivals for leader
ship. Clean capable men were nomi-
mated and a strong organization per-
fected for service in the field. Surely,
That was the day
We long have sought,
And mourned because
We found it not.
Coincident with the growth of public
confidence in our possibility of sue
cess. following a harmonious conven-
ton. will follow a hopeful tendency
amongst the rank and file of the
party in Henderson county heretofore
unknown. There is now an incentive
to go forward, for hope inspires eff
forts. Let it be remembered that the
Democratic candidates for sheriff and
tax collector failed of election two

Congressman Gudger may have
used money freely in the primary.
Nearly all .aspirants for Office, during
these latter days, are called upon to
shell out" and most of them do. But
it comes with poor grace for a crea-
ture of the old Republican machine to
.criticise anybody for spending money
in elections. The Republicans have
never won a seal in Congress from
this district since Richmond Pearson
entered the arena twenty years ago by
fair and honorable methods. Talk
about spending money! That has long
been the Republican way. But there is
not enough available Doodle in the
country to purchase a seat in Con-
gress for Prof. j. J.. Britt. He has
been training with the wrong crowd.
The people want a man for this posi-
ton who will stand right close to

NO USE FOR FARMERS
TALKING HARD TIMES
Lexington Dispatch.l


There is absolutely no excuse for
the cry of hard times from the farm
ers of this section of the state because
they don't grow cotton, with a few ex-
%ceptions, but grow corn, wheat and
other food products. What the farm
ers of this section have for sale, with
the exception of cotton, is selling at
SO, 1-3 to so per cent higher than ever
before.
The man who is trying to convince
the farmer that he is in a bad way has
a hard road to travel. The farmer is
selling his wheat from 81 to $3.50 a
bushel, and everything else that he
produces at the same rate. There new
er has been a time when the prospects
were brighter to make money from
farm products than today.
AS we have said before, it behooves
every farmer to SOW every bushel of
wheat he can possibly get in tho
ground this year, because it will mean
big money in 1915. Wheat will sell
from $3.50 to 50 per bushe1 and corn
will not sell for less than $1.5O; SO
SOW wheat this fall and put in a big
crop of corn next spring. Grow more
hogs because meat will be high next
year

: romadvine the situation

view to ~remedying the situation.
The letter from DR.. John e. Ennis
in this weeks Democrat showing
how unclean streets work to u in
fury, comes at an opportune time.
Dr. Ennis wishes Hendersonyille well;
he makes this city his summer home;
he is a property holder and the writer
knows that he is greatly interested IN
the community's welfare.
We know of no street that looks
more inviting after it has been clean
ed than Main street, but it is not
cleaned as frequently as it should be,
especially in summer.
Who is to blame? All of us. We are
TOO lax, we throw trash or allow 1t
placed in front and to the rear Of our
places of business. We cannot af-
ford to pay a drayman rs cents to
haul away a peck of rubbish, hence
the wind takes it. away for us and de-
pcsits it in unsightly masses.
In order to keep our premises clean
it is necessary to have a garbage
wagon make frequent visits. This
vehicle should be furnished by the
city.
81 keep my premises clean and
the other fellow should do like
WISE" explodes the man who op-
poses the expense of a wagon. This
kind of argument can be met my the
fact that this same economist is a
Iaw-abiding citizen and the other fell
low should also be, but that does not
obviate the necessity of employing po-
licemen, constables, a sheriff and his
F, deputies to keep the peace.
If the expense cannot be-met other
wise, the city should have a SAM
tary fund provided by a graduated tax
upon improved and unimproved lots,
! residences, boarding houses, hotels
and other places of business.
Some are inclined to cry out against
high taxes, but what else can we ex-
pect in turn for the privilege OF living
in such a lovely place as Henderson
Vile? Why should we not. be will
ing to pay more for this privilege
than for that of abiding in a less
favorable locality? But if we do not
improve our conditions, whether by
increased taxes or otherwise, we will
sooner or later have no occasion
for our fate is hanging in the balance
and our doom will be sealed as a pop
ular health and pleasure resort if we
sit in our stupor of supine indiffer-
ence with hands complacently folded
and Eyes closed to the evils confront
ing US.
Let us all get busy; talk more pro-
gressive measures, help mould senti-
m.ent, then accomplishments will
come as a matter of course.
