Municipalities should strive to bet
ter conditions which tend to health
fdIness and the reduction Of danger
and loss from fires, and ON this scors
Hendersonville IS confronted with 4
situation that should in some way b.
relieved.
The Hendersonville board Of health
when thoroughly organized viii have
before it the task of persuading or
compelling the citizens Of business
and residential sections to keep strict
ly sanitary premises. The North Car
DINA department of insurance also
has an eye on these conditions with
the view to reducing danger and loss
from fires.
H~endersonville has no effective law
tending to a regular cleaning up pro-
cess. 1t inaugurates a clean UP" day
about once a year
We heartily agree with Deputy IN
urance Commissioner Jordan that
Hendersonyille needs a garbage wagon
operated and controlled by the city.
Such a means of taking of the refuse
matter would tend to more sanitary
conditions in many places in the city,
The people don't feel disposed to give
a drayman twenty-five cents to haul
e few chicken heads or a few scraps
OF paper and boxes to the garbage
farm, but they don't mind collecting
this waste matter and ~depositing it in
boxes to be hauled off; the city will at
some early date see the necessity of
providing means for hauling garbage
at state periods. When this is done
there will be a marked Improvement
over the prevailing conditions in Hen
6ersonville.

THE @WANT ADS. COLUMN.

H.EEHAZE
In order to serve our customers and
facilitate a detail matter in the make
up of the Hustler-Democrat, we will,
beginning with this issue, inaugurate a
cheaper rate on want advertisements
and increase the rate on readers
which appear with more Or less irreg-
clarity in various parts of the. paper.
Under no circumstances do we pub
lish readers in our column of per-
sonals and they cause SO much annoy
ance in the makeup of the paper, we
have decided to discourage their use
by charging ten cents per line for each
insertion instead of the old rate of i've
cents per line,
We consider the want id" colum
the logical place for small advertise
ments of two or three lines for they
usually bring results at a smaller
cost than any other method of
paper advertising.
The reduced rate card of the want
ad" column will doubtless be of inter
est to small advertisers.

port as there 10 not much time for de-
lay If 4 successful fair Is to be accom-
plished this year as the preliminary
work should be undertaken without
great delay.
There are varying opinions among
the members Of the club as. to the
scope or work that should be under
taken for the first year. Although tia
wishes Of each member cannot be sat-
isfied in this respect, some plan and
policy should be definitely outlined By
the club. 1t should then choose a
leader or some one who viii prosecute
the work. We would not consider ii
imperative that the leader be ripe with
actual experience in conducting fairs
but it Is necessary that he have some
common business judgmentsin matters
OF this kind. 1t will be necessary to
select a secretary and pay him a nom
ihal salary If the fair is to accomplish
the desired results.
The question Of a fair is an import
ant me and if the Greater Henderson,

greatest possible good in this respect
it should by no les dilly-dally on
