This is one of the few times when
the devil gets on the run in Hender-
sonvilIe and Asheville.

Join the crowd. 1t will be at the
union revival at the Baptist church
for several days and nights.
Christmas is rapidly approaching
and Hendersonville should prepare
itself for doing Christmas shopping
at home"
HendersonVille needs to circulate
your money, therefore spend it in Hen
Jacksonville where it will do your city
the most good.
If you can't enjoy these fneL balmy
Indian summer days to the fullest,
you had better go out and let Dr.
Evarts diagnose your case for
thing is radically wrong somewhere.
Did o eve notice that people will
rush right up to the front and pay ex-
ire for the reserved seats so they may
hear and see all that is going on in the
ordinary place of amusement, but let
all usher begin to lead a fellow toward
the front seat of a church and you win
witness a bucking human broncho.
Like Peter, they enjoy being "afar off"
The moonlight schools are working
wonders in many sections of the State
and adult illiteracy is being eliminat-
Ell rapidly. Too much cannot be
said in praise of the faithful teachers
of North Carolina who are interesting
themselves in the parents of their pu-
pills, who grew up'at a time when little,
or no opportunity to secure an educa-
ton was afforded. Remarkable in
stances are related of men and women
above eighty years of age learning to
read and write in these moonlight
schools and our very capable State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction is
determ- ned that not one shall be left
who shows a desire to throw off the
shackIes."
The Anti-Saloon League of America
is planning another resolution to Cen
gress this winter on the Hobson amend
ment for the submission of a consIt-
tutional amendment to the people pro-
viding for national prohibition. The
resolution received a majority vote in
the last congress, but the necessary
two-thirds was lacking Inc the fight
will be renewed soon after the assem-.
bling of Congress in December. mas
much as the voters of the individual
states would pass upon the question
finally there should be no hesitancy
Upon the part of any representative
to support the Hobson resolution. Let
the people rule.

The cause of woman suffrage receiy-
ed staggering blow at the hands of New
Jersey voters at a popular election in
that state on Tuesday of last week,
when an equal suffrage amendment
to the constitution of that common
wealth was defeated by more than
$4,000 majority. President Wilson's
home precinct registered a two to enc
vote against the proposition despite
the suffragette idea and his personal
support of the proposed amendment
to the New Jersey constitution. A
similar fight is on in Massachusetts and
New York, with a like result most
probable. On with the dance.
Shelby Highlander, a semi-weekly
sheet published at the county seat OF
Cleveland county, announces that it
has changed" from a Democrat news
paper to a Republican organ, basing
its action upon the present miserable
condition Of the paper, which condi.
ton is attributed to the operation of
Democratic tariff. One accustomed
to newspaper work can see in the pa
per itself ample causes for failure
causes which lie entirely within the
Office and shop Of the Highlander and
with which the tariff laws have no
connection. We are sorry to see any
of the state papers "go wrong" but it
one of them must be dropped from
the roll the Highlander is probably
that one which can most easily be
spared. y
