A IN FRESH AIR.

The North Carolina State Board Of
Health is sending out some sugges-
tons against the coming of winter
that the people will do we'll to heed.
The board is directing the attention
O." the people to the necessity of fresh
air in the home as the best precau-
ton against colds, pneumonia and tu-
b~erculosis. The suggestions come at
the opportune time, for with the APP
proach of fall there is a general re-
sort to the closing of windows and
shutting of doors, that "a closed house
day and night is an open door to all
winter diseases" 1t was only in re-
cent years that the benefits Of fresh
all in the home came into public ap-
probation and the sleeping porch
sprang into popularity, not only in the
towns, but In the country. With the
advance of the fresh air propaganda
the barker and the hawker are dis
appearing from the land.-Charlotte

DEFINITION OF A WASHER.

What is a masher? He is one of
the most contemplate, conceited and
worthless members of society. There
io the young masher, the old masher,
the single masher and the married
masher, and the limit of the quartet
is the married masher. Many of the
young Washers are simply PADDED
boobies, badly stuck on themselves
and imagining that every passing fe-
male is likewise stuck on their aggre-
cation of manly qualities. But the
arried masher is a thing" to be
rated and summed, for his intentions
are bad and his ways dark and dishon-
orable, Hannily most women easily
see through his thin disguise, but oc-
ca%sionally a poor, silly moth f1utters
into the candle, and it's wings, if not
completely burned, are badly singed.
Give the married masher a kick that
will land him clean outside the pale
of society Fayetteville Observer.

THE FARM DEMONSTRATOR.

The Democrat believes that the pro-
gressive element of Henderson county
will agree that the county commits
sioners are making a serious mistake
in refusing to employ a farm demon
strator for another year. While the
commissioners are willing to pay from
the county funds $500, half the amount
required from the county, the Demo-
crat believes that demonstration work
is of incalculable benefit to the whole
county and therefore the expenses of
such should be paid for out of the
county treasury. The citizens of the
county should not longer display indif-
ference about this important matter
but should unite and impress upon the
commissioners the Importance of sup
porting this great work. To discon-
tlnue this service will mean a long
step backward Mr., Perkins cannot
afford to wait indefinitely for an an
swer, but he should be told something
definitely and at once. His first years
work has been completed. Do the
people want him or can we afford to
drag along behind the times as usual?

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS.

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

~
"The General Assembly of 1884,
according to the Democratic Hand
books responded to the demands Of
8 growing and prosperous Common
wealth. Besides providing for the
unusual demands, it laid the founda-
I! ton for meeting modern conditions
by providing for compulsory attend
ance for a limited period of the public
! schools and for a six months school
term, for a proper registration of vital
s statistics throughout the State, for
fair and just intra-State rates, and
aided in bringing about the abolition
o.. some of the worst determinations
against us in interstate freight rates
passed an effective ANTITRUST law, an
effective corrupt practices act, a good
child-labor law, an act for the better
enforcement of the law against the
sale of intoxicating liquors, statutes
giving necessary court facilities and
simplifying the practice in crimina!
cases and providing for fairer trials
in capital felonies, many acts looking
to the development of good highways,
acts providing a home for confederate
women, and increasing the pensions
of certain classes of confederate sol
diers, for the optional registration of
land titles under the Torrens system.
providing for production of anti
cholera serum for our hog raisers,
and laws extending benefits to the un-
fortunate classes of u people, and
many other acts looking to the better
ment of society"
furthermore, it is pointed out that it
adopted the Seventeenth Amendment
tt the Constitution of the United
States, providing for the election OF
United States Senators by the people,
end passed an act to go into effecr
when the amendment became effective,
providing for their election and the
filling of vacancies; framed for sub
mission to the votes of the State a
serious Of constitutional amendments
which are destined to permit the peo-
pie an opportunity of exercising their
wishes with reference to changing
their fundamental laws in material
and important respects.
This is the legislative record in 4
nutshell and the Democracy of North
Carolina is not ashamed of ii. by any
manner of means. The measures
enumerated are progressive in char
ecter and some of them will be rem
Gered more effective by the Demo-
cratic legislative which the people ara
going to elect on the Bird of November.
The Democracy is all right and the
people know it.

ANOTHER MEXICAN UPRISING.

The break between General Francis
co Villa and General Carranza, pres
ent Provisional President of the Re
public, appears to be of a more sert-
Gus character than was at first antica-
pated and indications point to further
fighting in Mexico. President Carran~
za. has admitted that there is danger
and Villas conduct gives promise of
more bloodshed. He hopes to enlis:
support of former Federals, and with
the army led by the ants in South
ern Mexico, march upon the CAPT.
ta;. Felix Diaz threatens to support
the new revolution. He maintains
that his country is not ready for peace
proposals and that Mexico and the
Mexican people need education in pre-
paration for the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of self-government. Just how
this proposed change of conditions IL
to, be brought about Mr.. Diaz does
not suggest. 1t can hardly follow one
revolution after another.
1t is unfortunate that another up
rising, reasonable or otherwise,
should spring up in Mexico SO soon
alter peace had been practically as
ured. But Francisco. Villa seems new
er so happy as when on the war path.
His leadership will command conf
dence in those who follow and he is
not the man to contribute anything
worth while to the settlement of Mex
ico's present troubles. But, after all,
he is more friendly to the United
States than is Carranza and there
would be less cause for intervention
by this country with him at the head
O.: Mexican affairs. Carranza has no
love for President Wilson; he is self
ish and intellectually weak and should
be peacefully retired from power.
However, the uprising started by Villa
is not justified by conditions and
should not be encouraged. But it it
rt. concern of Uncle Sam and peace
loving Americans devoutly hope Presi-
dent Wilson may continue his policy

MORE SENSE THAN POETRY.

My fried, have you heard of the town
of Yawn
On the banks of the river Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower
fair,
Where the Sometimeorother sents the
air
And the soft goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of W~hatstheuse.
In the province of Letherslide;
That tired feeling is native there
It's the home ofthe listless Idontcare.
Where the P~ut1toffs abide,
The Putitoffs never made up their
minds,
Intending t do it tomorrow;
And so the delay from day to day
Till business dwindles and profits
decay
And their days are full OF sorrow.

A NEW 1 T HALL.

Among the representative people of
Hendersonville there is strong sent1-
ment for remodeling the city hall or
erecting a modern municipal building.
Expressions with reference to a city
hall are not new. They have been
engaged in for the past few years.
While no united step has been taken
looking to a change of conditions, it
is encouraging to know that the city
commissioners feel that Henderson
vile needs a suitable building for the
administration of it's affairs.
The Democrat hopes that something
will grow out of the present agitation,
at the same time being cognizant of
the many financial problems confront
ing the officials. But Hendersonville
can expect to have its treasury
running over with funds without the
issuance of further bonds and thereby
shifting some of the present struggles
upon the shoulders of posterity.
Hendersonville is sadly in need of d
public building, with Offices suitable
for the city'sfuse, an opera house, a
prison, a fire department, etc., and the
Democrat believes that action toward
securing such would meet with popu-
lar approval, for the progressive ele-
Inent well knows that the growth of
Hendersonville is seriously hampered,
since we cannot hope to have a per.
manent and substantial growth until
we have a suitable place for theatrical
attractions, a meeting place, a prison
and a fire department,
Should the commissioners decide to
take some step to improve the situa-
ton, the question of whether to i'm
prove the old building CIR erect a rev
one rises.
The suggestion has been made that
it would be a good investment to sell
the city hall. which is now on splen-
I Az OuS4AO0S P4OpOALy anu guy IIlO
Bailey block to the west of the Dem
ocrat Office and south CT the new
federal building.
This would permit growth and ex-
pansion of the business district of the
city; would provide ample space for
a city hall. fire department, prison,
city market or other revenue produc-
ing quarters and leave sufficient
space, utilizing the unused ground
to the rea of the federal building,
to make a beautiful uptown park
and open-air resting place so highly
desirable in Hendersonville.
The question Of a city hall is one
that should have serious consideration
from all sources. for if something is
not done within a few years Hender-
scnville will feel the sad neglect in
more ways than space here will per-
nit for recounting.

State Chairman Warren is right in
the suggestion that the great object
with Democrats this year should and
must be to get out the votes. Inactiv-
iLy is the only danger which confronts
tie Democracy this year anywhere.

State has enough voters to bury the
opposition out of sight if they do not
stay away from the polls. General

The proceedings Oh Cne counCy
board of education show that great
progress is being made in educational
matters, which is highly encouraging
and speaks well for the future.
According to a clipping in the Nor
canton News-Herald from the Green's
horo News, Mr.. Arthur T. Abernethy
objects to Rutherford College being
designated as lying without Western
Carolina, according to a news item
from Hendersonville which said that
this city had the only Carnegie libra
~ in Western Carolina. Mr.. Aber-
nethy was interested in securing a
similar library for Rutherford College
i'll 1907 and now inquiries why that city
is not in Western North Carolina.

Graf would think the village in Wes-

call you a Western Carolinian. Geo
graphically, Mr.. Abernethy, you are

Certainly no former Confederate

for Congress because he has shown no
sympathy for the old fellows when an
opportunity presented itself. 1t is
recalled that Mr.. Britt declined to sup
Fort one of the aged heroes for SER
geant at arms of the State Senate
while he was a member of that body
in 1909. The Senate Journal shows
this to be true. But J. J.. Britt was a.

could not get his consent to vote for
a Democrat under any circumstances.
And they are not going to vote for him
either. Mark it,

Congressman Gudger charges his
opponent with having missed eighty
three roll calls during the sixty days
he represented Buncombe county i'll
the General Assembly of 1909. The
Congressman offers the Senate Jour
nal to sustain his contention and ad-
vises Mr.. Britt to remove the mote
from his own eye before undertaking
to draw a beam from another's eye.
The point is well taken. Mr.. BIRTHS
legislative record cannot be invoked to
his credit and Mr.. Gudger is giving
