HENDERSON COUNTY ROADS.

The news story in another column
Of the Hustler-Democrat, giving in
formation with reference to the good
roads development in Henderson GUN
ty. will doubtless interest her citizens
who have been struggling for many
years under the buTdensome handicap
of extremely bad roads.
Approximately 100000 will be spent
during the next few months in road
development in this county, which
will mean that the principal thorough
fares of the county will have been inn
proved before the treasury is drained
CT the good roads fund.
Hoopers Greek and Hendersonville,
townships are to be congratulated
upon their good roads spirit and it is
hoped that other sections of the coun
ty badly in need of the Improvement a
$40, OO0road bond issue would afford
will follow in the footsteps of these
progressive townships and provide
better roads.
Better roads and better farming
methods are two things of which Hen
Gerson county is badly in need and
from outward appearances the pres
ent evils are being reduced at a graft
flying rate.
When a community Of people deter
mine to have better roads it is an indt-
/ cation that they are imbued with a
progressive spirit, which will ulti-
mately mean better farms and farm
ing, better homes, better schools and
churches, better education and inn
proved rural conditions in general,
therefore a better day for us is inn
mediately in sight.
We are glad that the people are
waking to the Importance of throw
ing of the heavy yoke of stand-pat-
| tism, which has kept their heads bow
ed to seemingly intollerable condi-
tons for ages simply for the reason
/ that because the tallow candle and
bull-plowing methods of a livelihood
were good enough for our forefathers
they have been deluded to believe it
good enough for us in this progress
sive age.

NIB. GUDGER,s APPOINTMENT.

We are glad to announce in this
issue of the paper Congressman ]. Nj.
Gudger's appointment of a new post
master for Hendersonville. The ap,
Eointment has probably been delayed
longer than necessary, but Mr.. Gudger
had matters of legislative Importance
demanding his attention.
We have no reason to doubt Mr..
Gudger's word when he says that it
las been a most embarrassing task.
Similar problems have arisen in va
rious parts of the district t o require
his most careful consideration and it
would be entirely out of order for him
or any other man in his position to act
with undue haste In matters which
more or less control his political des-
tiny, and therefore MI. Gudger has had
many things to consider in connection
with. the race for the postmastership
of Hendersonyille, and especially
when five loyal democratic friends
were urging him to favor them with
the appointment.
1t is taken for granted hat he has
acted to the best of his ability, consid-
ering the ~endorsefents, personal fit
ness and characted of those he had 70
consider.
Each candidate has the satisfaction
of knowing that he was strongly re-
commended and that only one of the
i've could get the desired reward,
therefore ali should find consolation

WOMEN AND THE SUFFRAGE.

A few women in some of the states
are clamoring for the ballot, but no
such condition prevails here in con-
~servative old North Carolina, where
our wives and daughters devote thei.
energies to home-making, rather than
agitating. The average North Caro-
lima mother knows little of political
conditions and cares less. They are
not ready for the ballot and few OF
them want it. They have not studied
questions of public policy, or political
in affairs of that kind. Their great
influence is noticeable in moral and
educational circles, and the church
and the school have no better friend.
In her present state, woman exerts a
powerful influence for god over he.
male associates. Place her on a level
with the riff raf'' in political broils
and you detract from the high station
in life which she proudly oc e
the present time. 1t is not a
of taxation without represents
bur one of expedfency and common
sense. The strong arm of the State
protects her virtue and her property,
and will continue to do SO. She is
happy and contented, moving along
in the even tenor of her way. the
queen of the home, the mudsill of the
church, the leader of educational
thought and the guardian of healthful
conditions in the social world. Why
this agitation TO divert her attention
from the home life to matters in which
she is not interested and compel her,
IN s~elf-defense, to equip herself for an
uneven battle with man, on the field
/, of political turmoil?
1t should not be said t o their dis
, credit that the women of North Caro-
lima are u%nprepared for the ballot.
That they are not ready for this inno-
walton in state-craft is perfectly ap-
parent to observers of present day
cnnditionsV In this connection, am
incident is recalled which emphasizes
the suggestion. Two we'll informed
women, upon subjects of general im-
port, sat for hours listening to a dis
cussion of the feasibility and practi-
cability OF incorporating 'The 1nitia-
~htsatice and Referendum Another
constitution. Upon their return home,

son, they inquired of the husband and
father: What in the world is the mi
tiatiye and Referendum" Another
case in point. One lady asked anoth-
eT, What is the meaning of a poll
taxi" To which the other replied, in
all seriousness, 81 do not know, I'M
less it is a tax exacted from all men
VINO are over feet high" These
are actual occurrences and these wo-
men are the equal of Mrs. August Bel
mont, Mrs. Pankharst, or any other
~suffragette on the face of the earth, in
things which contribute to the sim
pie and enjoyable life experienced by
Il noble wives and daughters here in
North Carolina. It is extremely
doubtful if ten per cent. of the women
in this State are prepared to vote in
diligently upon any public question.
If given the ballot, they would be en-
tirely dependent upon their fathers
and brothers in exercising the privi-
lege, so what benefit could accrue to
them by having it?
However, weather-yanes in politics

is coming and predict it's arrival" in
all the states Of the South within the
next decade. Maybe so, but there ap-
pears to be little evidence Of any or
ganized movement to bring about the
change in the old North State. Some
j Of the best women in the State have
expressed a desire for the ballot, but
the prevailing sentiment is largely
adverse to the proposition, and unless
the women themselves become exc
cised over the suggestion a great deal
more than they are now, many decades
j will have passed before the men of
North Carolina will be confronted by
members of the opposite sex at the
polls On election day. Women make
most excellent governors-in the
home.

any part in this contest between good
democrats, it has no hesitancy In say

results of Mr.. Gudger's action, for he

~POsTMAsTERe @sAMs BRTsON.


The story in our news columns tell
,ing of Representative Gudger's APP
pointment of Mr. S. Y. Bryson as post
master of Hendersonville is received
with no small degree of interest in
Henderson county. The appointment
is the outcome of a friendly race by
five well-knewn Hendersonville men
and hence it means the great delight
of some and the source Of keen disap-
pointment to others, but it is not on
this point that we wish to dwell.
This GROWING event in the life of Mr.
Bryson serves to more forcibly Impress
upon the toiling masses the truth that
ambition is hard to crush. We do not
say it to the discredit of Nh. Bryson.
but he has overcome almost insur-
meuntable difficulties to prepare him
self to cope with LIES struggles, and
the realization of his ambition at this
time affords him and his numerous
friends genuine pleasure.
Incompetence and u~nfitness have not
been charged against him to our
knowledge in This interesting struggle
for the appointment. Democratic dis
loyalty has not been spoken and to-
day he feels the reward for having al
ways in these many years been a sup
porter of Mr.. Gudger in his hard won
victories.
Impulsiveness has been about all
Mr.. Bryson's opponents could use
against him and it stands for reason
that this characteristic will not be
Manifested so much in the deliberately
furnished offices of a 1000 building
as it was under trying circumstances
when he had to labor with men of
various types, colors and tempera-
hents and under almost all kinds of
conditions and places.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Bryson
will make an eminently efficient post
master and our sentiments are largely
summed up in the following extract
from a letter of endorsement from a
prominent man of Hendersonville:
Without trying to ~depreciate the
merits of the claims of any one else, ]
: wish to say in behalf of Mr.. S. Y. Bry-
son that I have known him from his
/ childhood, have always liked and ap.
preciated him, and in spite of the fac
that he has much to contend against
and has had what might be termed &
hard life for a boy, he has proven
himself to be a strong minded, eneT.
getic, honest man and a good citizen
He has never made an enemy or don
q rash thing that has come to LII
knowledge except maybe on occasions
Ct great political contest ne has allow
ed his enthusiasm for democracy tt
carry him to the extreme, whereby h,
RAY have offended his opponent,
Where this might have been unfor
tunate for him it should be to Lii
credit as a democrat"

THE HEssIANs' HOME IN AMERICA


IN the Ragged mountains of Virgin
ia live the lost Hessians, a queer and
interesting people. They are the des-
cendants of the Hessian prisoners
who were confined at Charlottesville
during the Revolutionary war. At the
close of the revolution the Hessians
were released in a body. They deter
r2ined to march back into the Ragged
mountains and establish a new home
in those hills. Here they and Their
descendants have lived ever since,
They put up their rude cabins made
of logs and mud, and they have had no
other kind of dwelling from that time
to this.
