A HENDERSON COUNTY FAIR.

The Greater Hendersonville club
has before it the important task o.
fathering a Henderson county fair
next fall. The club is determined to
conduct a fair. 1t appointed a COM
mittee to investigate and report on
the feasibility, cost and nature of the
proposed fair. The committee has
discharged its duty and the report has
been set as a Special order for the
meeting to be held on Friday night of
this week.
Since so many questions will arise
in connection with the fair it is an
important matter to decide upon.
There are widely diverging views as
u the scope and nature of the first
fair to be conducted under the aus
pices of the club. Some think it
should be strictly educational with
no entrance or entry fees for at
fractions, and that live stock depart
ments should not be conducted by rea-
scn of the much heavier expense that
would be entailed. Careful thought
should be given to all these subjects
and in order that those interested in
the undertaking may be more familiar
with the report of the committee, we
reproduce the same in full in this is
sue of the Democrat.
1t is high time that all these ques-
tions are settled if the club hopes to
have a successful fair this year, for
farmers should have prize-winning
products in mind. when they SOW as
veil as when they reap.
With a plan and policy once outlin-
ed, the club would then make no mis-
take in naming it's leader to take
charge of the details, the organization,
etc. No time should be lost in dilly-
dallying on this subject, but a leader
should be chosen with power and au-
.thcrity to act and make a fair accord
ing to policies to be outlined by the
club.

rev. and then fills their ears with
hearsay and rumors, and what is
worse, leaves them to dwell upon the
hints and suggestions of his busy

an injury which neither industry nor
charity nor time, itself, can repair.
Indeed, there are too many people
in the world who seek to rise by pull
ing other folks down. 1t is so in bust
ness; In politics; in the professions;
in social affairs. Slanderers are
abroad in the land and few commun-
tiles are exempt from the curse of
their foul mouths and the effects of
their Infamous deeds. They can see

a poisonous adder, or a Contagious
disease. He will go to any length to

sinful soul upon your misfortunes,-
especially those his vile tongue may
have been instrumental in infiicting
upon you.
But individuals of this class "can-
not fool all the people all the time"
Truth must finally prevail and ul-
scrupulous falsifiers will reap a re-
ward commensurate with their evil
leeds. They may flourish for a time
but an evil day awaits them and mer-
ted punishment will be their portion

We take pleasure in informing Mr..
Shipman or others interested, that it
is not our desire to try this case
through the newspaper and we do not
wish to create any false impressions.
but all must admit that when it takes
some of the ablest lawyers of the
two Carolinas, the judge of Superior
court and an able jury to even reach
a mistrial in the case it must be some
''tlcklish" subject for a newspaper to
tackle from even a news standpoint.
In this connection we would state
that it is not the desire of the Demo
to create false Impressions for it
to give only the news III it's
columns, and that when the pa
Fer desires to express its own opin.
ion it will do SO in it's editorial col
lmns.
Our ideal in publishing a newspa-
Fer is to never be reluctant to correct
aD error or freely admit a wrong and
we are glad to reverse ourselves upon
showing of new facts, for u great
est satisfaction comes from the know
edge of the sincerely of purpose, but
allowances must always be made for
human im~perfection.

CORRECTING IMPRESSIONS.

Attorney J.. E. Shipman, of counsel
for the Blue Ridge Interurban Rail-
ray company in its case against the
.H~endersonVille Light & Power COM
pany, informs the Democrat that he
fears a wrong impression will be
gained from an article in last week's
issue. For. the purpose of showing
.mpartiality and with the desire to
relate the matter in as correctNand
unbiased a manner. as possible, we
herewith give his explanation. The
article in question stated that at is
understood that ten members of the
Jury were in favor of awarding the
local company $4,000 while two stood
out for $4,000. The first ballot is
said to have been nine in favor of CIV
ing the local concer 100000" Mr..
shipman a y that the foregoing IS
true as far as 1t went, and while it is
not a matter of record. he under
stands that one member of the
iurv was in favor of awarding only
stated that the former suit resulted
mostly in favor of the local concern"
Mr.. shipman say that it depends alto
gether which view a person takes. AS

THE PUBLIC.

The ~pproach of spring suggests
rlany things for the farmer and bust
ness man.. 1t creates a desire and a
necessity for new things therefore we
take pleasure in presenting to our
readers this Easter number of the
democrat.
The merchants have subscribed lib
e1ally for its space in order that they
may inform our family of readers
more fully as to spring bargains
which they are offering.
Prospective purchasers would do
well to read these business announce
ments and make Investigations before
purchasing since it is always to their
advantage as well as that of the
chant who advertises.
Fake advertising and unreliable
dealing will not long stand the lime
light of publicity and advertising. The
Democrat feels proud of it's family of
advertisers for they have been re-
peatedly tried for these many years
and have not been found wanting. We
have studied them sufficiently well to
know that they are sincere in their eff
forts to give their customers fair
dealing.

The estimate by an exchange, of a

The man who breaks into your
dwelling or meets you on the public

does you an injury. He stops you on
