county for six years. with an Interrupt
ton giving him only. two years during
his present term OF ofice. During the
past twelve months Mr.. Patton has SUI
yised the grading of about ESQ
miles of road in the county, about 225
miles having been sanded.
"A Road Genius.
Mr.. Patton is recognized as an ex-
pert in road engineering He is es-
pecially fond of the work and his COM
pensation as road supervisor has been
only nominal, just $35 per month. In
addition to this work for the county
Mr.. Patton was selected to spend the
SEQ 900 road bond issue for Henderson
vile township, for which he received
no salary. 1t is generally conceded
that Mr. Patton has accomplished more
than the average engineer could have
done with the small funds available
and this no doubt has been a strong
factor with those who have endeavored
to secure his services. His ability has
been recognized not only in Henderson
and Greenville county. During the
last few days Mr.. Patton is. under
stood to have received propositions
from both Polk and Avery counties,
which are seeking his services as road
engineer.
A Community Builder.
1t is not alone in engineering that
Mr.. Patton's ability has been recogniz-
ed for he has served as vice president
of the First Bank e Trust company for
some time, his work being for the
greater part devoted to the real estate
Qepartment of the bank. He holds the
office of secretary of the Laborers
Building and Loan association of Hen
Jacksonville, is an extensive property
! holder and is ever alert when it comes
to the development and upbuilding of
HendersonVille and vicinity.
There has been considerable specu-
lation as to whether he could be induc-
ed to accept the Office of business man
ager for the city of Hendersonville AMI
efforts have been made to induce him
to consider the work.
Leaving is Difficult.
Mr.. Patton has numerous friends III
Henderson county where he has spent
the greater part of his life, it being
his native home, who will regret to
learn of his leaving but who are con-
graduating him upon the recognition
that has been his road engineering
skill
Mr.. Patton stated to a representa-
tive of the Democrat that the ties of
friendship formed in Henderson coun-
ty had made it difficult matter for
him to decide to leave for South Car
olina and that not until he began 70
consider the proposition did he ever
imagine what it meant for one to per-
manently leave his native home.

Considering Drainage Project.
Having seen the results of draining
Mud Greek for sand with which TO
build roads. some of the marshy places
having been put under cultivation, Mr..
Patton says he regrets leaving Hender-
sonVille without bringing to success
full conclusion the draining of several
thousand acres of swamp land in Hen
derson county. He sees great possi-
bilities ahead along this line and says
that they could be accomplished at a
comparatively small cost.
The following dispatch from Green
vile will be of interest:
GreenVille, May 26--At a meeting
of the Greenville highway commission
this afternoon Mr.. Patton, civil en-
gineer of Hendersonville, was elected
as the engineer to oversee the work
to be done on the roads of Greenville
county, for which the Greenvil1e dele
cation in the legislature engineered a
bond issue of $950,000.
No other business of Importance was
transacted at the meeting today.
Mr. Patton, who is related to Mr..
Avery Patton, of Greenville, is recog-
nized as an expert in his business, and
he has proved his ability by the fine
roads that he has constructed in North
Carolina and other states. Members
of the highway commission believed
that they made a wise selection in
electing him.
Bonds in the sum of 100000 will be
issued first, and when this amount is
exhausted another, chunk of similar
roportions will be sold, and so on units
the total amount has been expended.

sANTI-TYPHOID CAMPAIGN TO
BEGIN In HENDERSON COUNTY.
Three Treatments Given Each Patient
j Without Cost; Begin About June
3 81; Reduce Typhoid Fever.

The anti-typhoid campaign in Hen
derson county will begin about June
81.
The plan is to hold a free public
anti-typhoid treatment dispensary in
about six different parts Of the county
and visit each one of these points once
week in turn. Three treatments
against typhoid are required to i'm
munize. These treatments are given
a week apart.
While the treatment will be given abb
solutely free. a small share of the ex-
pense for such campaign will be
borne by the county, and the remain
der by the State. The value of such
an offer will be readily seen when it is
remembered that the usual charge for
such treatment or immunization
ranges from 75e to $500.
The first five counties in the State
to hold cooperative anti-typhoid COM
paigns with the State Board of Health
have just been selected They are
Wake, Northampton, Cumberland,
Henderson and Buncombe These were
the first counties to volunteer active,
vigorous cooperation in the matter
Wake county heads. the list with an
appropriation of $500; Northampton
is second with $500; Cumberland third
with $3.50; Buncombe and Henderson
follow with $500 each. This money
will be used to pay in part the salaries
and travelling expenses Of the physi-
clans in charge. The State Board of
Health will furnish free anti-tyhoid
vaccine, literature, placards, posters,
and atraveling anti-typhoid exhibit,
together with exhibit material on flies,
and other public health subjects. These
campaigns will start in all five coun-
ties on June 81.
1t is expected from the results OBJ
tanned in previous years, that 5000
people or more in each of these coun-
ties will avail themselves of this free
opportunity to protect themselves
against typhoid. This in turn will
greatly reduce the typhoid rate in these
counties. 5,j> - 81 81
The efficiency of the anti-typhoid
treatment is no longer doubted. In
our army the case rate per 100000
soldiers, has been reduced from $50
before the discovery of anti-typhoid
vaccine to 232 when it's use was OPP
tional and to three when it's use was
made compulsory. In other words 1t
has decreased to about one-half per
cent. of what it was before vaccina-
ton was begun.
Besides being such a good protec-
ton against typhoid and being free, 1t
is practically painless and produces
no open sore as in the case of small
pox vaccine A small red area devel-
ops which is sore to touch for
about forty-eight hours, and, occa-
sionally, slight headache results, but
not often. Three treatments, week
apart, are necessary to immunize.
Who Wants the Dfspensary9
AS to the location of the antf-typhoid
dispensaries, DR.. ]. S. Brown, county
physician, said to the Democrat:
"There will be five or ten stations in
the county where the preventive
against typhoid will be given free from
June 81 to August 1. These stations
will be located according to the de-
sires of the people. Those wanting
enc for their community should see or
write me- about the matter at once.

MISS STANSEL A TEACHER.

In giving the list of teachers for the
Hendersonville school last week the
Democrat inadvertently overlooked the
name Of Miss Matte Stansel, who
taught here last year.
One other teacher has to be elected
to complete the faculty.

Plan Your Summer Furnishings NOU

thor '8rhs New Housekeeping"

First planned. first finished" Even
though summer and porch life seem very
distant, 1t is not too early to begin to
plan for summer furnishings. Last sea-
son woman who wished to have a set
OF reed porch furniture re-upholstered
thought she would begin early when she
went to a certain firm in April. But she
was surprised to find that they were so
booked ahead with their orders that they
were unable to touch her work until a
month later.
Seasons are practically three months
ahead with the trade" Wise, indeed, Is
the homemaker who early plans her
renovating, repair and special work on
summer furnishings. There is the whole
matter of reed or willow, the so-called
popular basket" furniture, and the
many attractive ornaments and pieces,
also fashioned from this pliable reed. II
you see them in time, the firms who make
a speciality of this kind of work will make
chairs in a preferred size, lampstands 10
order, and carry out whatever decorative
color scheme one has in mind in the cre-
tonne cushions and coverings.
All OF this work requires considerable
time, and IL left too late In the season
cannot be expected to be done well. In
addition, many houses give lower rate
on this work II ordered in the off winter
season. The best plan is to decide what
is needed, what oretonne or other hang
tngs one prefers. and place the order now.
Then 1t will be sure to be delivered on
time and done in a careful manner.
The painter, the wall paper man, the
carpenter, all prefer to give you service

rooms and then gaily depart, disappear
ing for three days interval to fly else

other few days, and so on. Painters and

justed, or any odd nail and hammer job,
have 1t done now-and be sure that you
will get 1t DONE 1t is not to be expected
that good workmen will care to do odd job
work in their busy season when they have
many offers of continuous employment.
Again, those houses that make a spe-
cialty of consulting on plans and renovat-
ing can give you more of their experts
time now than later. If you go to them
with your ideas and outline what you
think you want, they will be glad to con-
suit as to color fabric and furnishings
for any desired remodeling. But most
people do not plan ahead, and then are
impatient and unfair because their work
is not cotton out on time and the service
poor. 1t is not any more inconvenient
now to think OF these things than later.
The only point Is to do it,

SEEN IN THE SHOPS

The new hats show such a distinct dis
similarity to last seasons fashions In
headgear that there is very little hope
of the "fxed-up' hat doing duty for a
first one this year. There is, first of all,
such variety of fabrics, as well as
new straws, that you hardly know what
to choose. Just when you have made up
your mind that barnyard straw will
be serviceable and best, fragile and
extrava gant-looking maline model cap
tivates you. The large, floppy styles are
side by side with the little Scotch tur-
bans, with their fetching plaids and
saucy ribbon streamers. Everywhere
about you, on every stand and counter,
are brown, blue, tan and taupe turoans,
until your mind becomes positively OBJ
sessed with mania for them all.
A neat little model was shown by one
of our largest hat stores in old gold
satin. This was faced underneath with
black satin and had dull blue streamers

and intend to copy It as soon as 1 get

this one stood out as being especially
chic and attractive.
Tho girl who wore it was tall and
handsome, with fair hair and very dark
eyes. She attracted quite lot Of atten-
tion as she walked along the promenade,
but she seemed gloriously unconscious OF
Il ali.
The frock had an underdress of peach
oolored taffeta which threw the lace EN-
broldery into high relief. The bodice was
cut quite simply and rather full, with
long, closely-ftting sleeves which finished
with frills of net coming to the knuckles.
A small vest with high collar was
worn with the bodice, and this collar
terminated with soft frill of lace, quite
in the style that was so fashionable six
years ago. The little vest was of spotted
net and looked very chic.
The skirt was very attractive and new,
and consisted of three deep fiounces of
lace set over an underskirt of net. The
net was shlrred over the hips, and below
this shirring came the first deep flounce.
The wearer of the gown carried silk
parasol in n lovely peach shade. 1t had
the flat Japanese effect that is the pre-
note in parasol styles this
season.
