Another demonstration of the posi-
bi1i+ios Of '.book farming" has peer
GIVEN nv Mr.. Carter on his F1ttn ave

town-lot farming.
We know some people who are
ashamed to admit in public that they
ora not subscribers for the Democrat
We don't blame them for Wantlns ~

Rrevard. The News tells OF one WIFI
headquarters on top of the court mouse
which passed the good stun down 4"
rome with loopholes in it. We want
brother Jones to tell US if this is an
effective way to prolong the tourist
season a subject in which all noun
tain towns are now keenly interested
Some of the tangible evidences OF
that big back-lot and lawn FARMING
the Democrat told of last spring may
seen in the way of tomatoes on the
Baptist parsonage grounds on flItn

Hendersonville people are too busy

his younger days Colonel Pickens was
among the city's most active citizens
He practiced law, and within the neXT
few weeks the Democrat will give some
interesting data concerning the organ
ization of the Moth Carolina Bar asso-
citation, for which Col. Pickens is IN
derstood to have been responsible. n

ISOLATION of Western North Carolina.
What is the cause of so much bad
conduct in and around Hendersonville
of late? There has come to our at
tention within the last few days
knock-down and drag-out fights most
Iy among our own people, to say moth
ing of two alleged criminal assaults d
white men upon young girls. An off
Ger has no foreknowledge of "a fight Or
misconduct and all he can do is make
arrest after the trouble is over. Does
the devil have more sway in certain
phases of the moon or is the trouble
attributable to other causes?
