0ulare and present to the, Mayor and
Board OF Commissioners, a petition
signed. by more than fifty of the repre-
sentative business and professional
men of the community, all democrats,
petitioning the Board to continue the
Office Of business manager of the town,
and to elect MP. F. Patton thereto.
A large number, who had signed the
petition; @eae spresent at the Board
meeting, and urged that their petition
be granted. !, All FWho know, Mr.. Patton
as business man, as civil engiAeer,
as a road builder, and as citizen,
know that. he lis seminently qualified to
I'LL the position~,'I maintain that no
business, that runs into such sum in
dollars and cents as the business OF
the Town of Hendersonville, would
have a chance to succeed, without
some efficient business man at it's
head to take charge of its affairs, de-
voting his whole time and thought to
the one purpose of making the bust
ness a success. The business of most
municipalities in the past has been
run on partisan political rewardinG
standing army job hunting, sort of a
plan, but now everywhere the ideaais
to run cities and towns on a strictly
business basis. Where the city is too
small for the commission form Of gov
eminent, the business manager plan,
if properly managed, will result in a
saving of thousands of dollars, which
is wasted under the old spoils system
The democratic members of the Board
and the Mayor voted in such a manner
as practically to refuse the considers-
| ton of our petition, and the three re-
publican members voted for its consid-
Grafton, although it was signed only
by democrats. 1 am still hoping
against hope that the good judgments
Of men like c. u Brooks, J. w bailey
Nj. M. Shepherd, and John Forrest will
assert itself, and that patriotism will
take the place of partisanism with
them, and that they will rise above the
clouds of old time political pie distri-
button to the heights of city efficiency
by the election of an efficient business
man, qualified in every way as the
business head of HendersonvilIe, to
whom. all men look alike, both rich
and poor. One who has no political
friends to serve, no political pie to
distribute, and only the best interests
of Hendersonville and Henderson
county at heart. Such a man, / de-
clare is Preston F. Patton. again

interests OF HendersonYille to the

Take Your Medicine

As a general rule it is better to face responsibility than to run from it. By way of illustration, here is little story of which Senator Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin AS reputed to be the author:
 A collector entered Smiths flat and pushed into the parlor and said to the little boy he found there:
 "Where is your father?"
 Gone away" the lad answered, ac- cording to instructions.
 Where has he gone?" asked the collector.
 "To that closet" said the boy.
 When Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the peo- pie all the time," he said something worth while.
 We may "slip one over" on the other fellow every once in while, but we make mistake if we get the idea we can do it consistently. There is likely to be a little crevice somewhere in the foundation of our deceptive structure sufficient to give the entering wedge of inquiry an op- portunity to turn the limelight of ex- posture upon us.
 When we have dose of bad medi- cine to take, let us take it and have it over with.

ing character will be enacted to give employment to the able bodied and to prevent the evils that might follow a struggle for industrial and conner cial supremacy. The loss of millions of men in battle will leave vacuum which will result in an automatic in- crease of wages. It is possible, Mr. Howe believes, that wages, may rise so high that all immigration will cease. At any rate, the war will check inn migration, particularly from Germany and England.
 Unfortunately, we get some of our most desirable citizens from these countries. Alarmists who have been frightened by "alien hordes" pouring into the United States may take com fort from MT. Howe's views. It will probably be long time before we have more foreigners seeking admit tance than We can conveniently care for

Iron Market and Business General,

Iron Market and Business Generally
 The large buying movement in the iron market this month has been taken as one of the barometers of business improvement. The demand for iron and steel is having very cheering effect on the entire industrial situa- ton.
 During the past twelve months pig iron prices have been too low to yield a fair profit With the exception of those remarkably favored furnace companies whose ore, coal and lime stone deposits are close at hand iron makers have barely come out with any profit on the prevailing price. With many of them a sale at present quotations is something like swapping dollars.
 But the more active inquiry is causing the market to have an upward tendency. An advance may be slow at the start, but when iron prices reach the S10 mark they are likely to go right along up.
 The industrial activities in the Bir- mingham district are certainly more in evidence now than at any time this
 
 year. The coal trade is improving, and the railroads are hauling more traffic than they did month ago. Altogether the general business out look is so bright as to make every body feel that the new era of pros perity had arrived.

FavorabIy Impressed

"This is my first visit to Birmingham and I am most favorably impressed with the city" said T. A. Carothers of Cincin- nati, assistant manager of the National Marking Machine company, who was at tending the Launderers' convention and who stayed over yesterday to see some thing of the outlying sections.
 T had expected to find quite city here, but Birmingham is much handsom- CT than l have ever imagined it would be. This is an elegant city, indeed, and am told that the residence sections surpass in beauty many of those in the great cities of the north.
 The Tutwiler is certainly a magnih- cent hotel. The value of such an insti- tuition in the commercial and social life of large city cannot be overestimated. Even if Birmingham were smaller and less attractive than it is, the Tutwiler would make every visitor feel as if he were in metropolitan city"

Georgia Under New Tax Laws

Alabamians at this time can read with profit the first annual report of John c. Hart, state tax commissioner of Georgia, just issued, showing the results of one years operations un- der the new equalization tax law. For years Georgia labored under the same antiquated, inefficient tax laws now in effect in Alabama. But Georgia has changed and Mr. Hart says, "The present law puts premium on doing right; the old law penalized the tax payer who did right and rewarded him who did wrong"
 According to MT. Hart's report the new equalization has proved remark ably successful during the first year. It has resulted in reduction of the tax rate from 5 mills to 41a mills. "It has been a positive pleasure and in spiration," he says, "when 1 saw and realized the average citizen of GeOr- gia, when he understood the situa- tion, was willing to take his just bur den." All he wanted was to know others were being treated the same way. He continues:
 Let the people understand the necessity of government. that their
 affairs are conducted on the same sound basis essential and practiced by successful business generally, and the taxpayer becomes a supporter and ad- vocate of the law"
 The total value of property for taxation under the new law in 1914 was $953, ,531 ,254, an increase over the previous year of $s5,567,517. Sev- eral counties in Georgia were discov- cred with as many as 5O,OOO acres upon which no taxes were being paid Assessment values per acre were ac- tually lowered in these counties be- cause of discovery of this land. MT: Hart has gone all over the state

Cotton and Crop Diversification

Now that the price of cotton is ad- vancing with a fair prospect of its reaching much higher level larger crop will be planted than had been expected.
 Last fall farmers organizations re- solved that the cotton acreage must be greatly reduced in 1915. Cotton was selling below 6 cents and the out look for improved conditions this year was far from bright. Not a few farmers who had grown cotton ex- tensively decided to plant no cotton in 1915, and they have stuck to their purpose. Others made up their minds to plant only 50 per cent of their 1914 acreage. Some of these have carried out their intention formed when the market was demoralized; but many changed their plans when the price began to move up steadily and when 1O-cent cotton seemed to be assured.
 There is a reduction in acreage, but how much is not yet known. No body, of course, is figuring on a bumper crop as bumper crops go, but some careful statisticians are begin ming to change their estimates from a 10000, ,000-bale crop to 11,000,000 or 12,000,000
 If the weather conditions should be as favorable as they were last year it might be possible to make a 12,- GOO, ,000-bale crop on this years re- duced acreage. But 1914 conditions were exceptional; they will hardly be repeated soon. It might be good guess that the crop will not exceed 11,OO0,0OO bales.
 The rise in cotton has been worth millions of dollars to the south. A great deal of cotton is still in farmers hands and that fact alone counts for much in adding to the wealth of the south. But it is hoped that in the eagerness of those farmers to plant late cotton the crop diversification movement will not receive a backset
 No matter how high the cotton mar ket may go Alabama and all the other cotton states should produce enough grain, forage and meat to supply themselves.

Future Immigration

Frederick c. Howe, commissioner of immigration at the port of New York, says 993,572 aliens were admitted into the United States for the year ending June 30, 1914, while in the eight months of the present immigra- tion year, from July to March 1, only 177,963 have arrived. Immigra- tion from the nations at war has been almost entirely cut off. The foreign CTS who come now are from Scandi- navia, Italy, Greece, Spain and Great Britain.
 Mir. Howe asks, "What will hap pen after the war;" He proceeds to show that whereas the end of the war will no doubt send thousands of immigrants to this country, among them large numbers of men who are no longer able to endure the monoto- nous existence they led in the fields and in the shops at home before they got taste of war, on the other hand the pressing need of European coun- tries to build up again will call for a vast amount of labor. Apparently the trend of immigration in one direc. tion will be offset to some extent by the aliens in this country who will be lured home by the prospect of better opportunities and higher wages thar they ever enjoyed there before.
 All the countries of Europe which are now at war will try to keep theil people from emigrating, MT. Howe thinks. Social legislation of 2 sweep
