SINGING CONVENTION ON 9TH
SUNDAY IN HENDERSONfILLE

Editor Democrat:
A few weeks ago l announced
through your paper that the next
singing convention would be held in
Hendersonville on the 5th Sunday in
this month 1 have had so many in
quiries about this singing that think
it best to ask you to publish for us this
short letter, that every one may know
Just where and when we will meet
The county commissioners have
kindly agreed that we have the use
of the court house, for which we ask
ed them to accept our thanks.
want to ask each choir to appoint
good quiet man who shall have charge
of his own choir, and also act as
general marshal.
i would also like to have notice
within two weeks from each choir that

viii. have, so that proper arrange
ments may be made for their comfort.
We will greatly appreciate any as
sistance rendered us from any source
to make this a successful day.

DISCUSSES WATER POWERsUIT.
Fayetteville observer.)

Fayetteville Observer.)
We print today an adverse decision
of the State Supreme court against
the Blue Ridge Interurban Company
in a suit in which the said company
and the HendersonviIle Light and
Power company are at issue. Chief
Justice Clark, in his opinion. in which
the other justices concur, gives the
Interurban some pretty hard knocks,
and shows conclusively that Hender-
sonville has right on its side, In the
following utterances:
"This proposition is so clear that no
argument should be required Inc
defendants were certainly entitled to
the value of the property which was
taken from them and under certain
circumstances they were entitled TO
more than the above measure II, as
their testimony shows, this water pow
er was necessary to enable them to
execute the contracts which they had
taken or proposed to take, in furnish
ing light and power, the loss of this
power might inf1ict much greater loss
upon them by reason of the disability
thus inflicted upon them, for it may
/ be that there'is no other water power
of ready access which they can ac'
quire fo rtheir purposes at the same
4 price
Chief Justice Clark can always be
found on the side of right, and fear
lessly performs his duty as he sees 1t
Such qualifications are eminently nee
essary in the honest administration o
Justice, and it is to be deplored tina
they are too often conspicuous by theil
absence, even in our courts of highes
appeal. Fo rsuch reason. men Like
Judge Clark deserves the utmost con
fidence and esteem of the people. AM
In the end it is almost always accord
ed them.

A PRESSING NEEE.

A bill has recently been introduced
into the New York Legislature pro-
viding that the state constitution shall
be so changed as to require all voters
to read and write the English Ian
guage.
Great opposition has developed as
was expected, but indications point to
a favorable outcome The most ordent
opponents appear to be hyphenated
Americans.
The illiterate and the foreign-ton-
gued voters are doomed If we are
to have sane, intelligent, efficient
laws and constitutions tile makers
must be able TO read and write the
English tongue intelligently.
A chance to learn reading and
writing must be given every citizea Of
our commonwealth, That chance
must be provided and supported
through public taxes. University

According to the statements, the
colonel, who was the guest of the
Tourilli club, already had killed the
one moose allowed him by law and
was returning with two guides in the
canoe when they sighted another
moose at some distance. The animal
attempted to charge as soon as the
canoe came near, the colonel and his
guides being forced to put to deep
water. Colonel Roosevelt, thinking to
scare it, fired over its head, but this
only seemed to infuriate it.
The way home lay through a small
stream connecting two lakes, and
shortly before them came to this the
moose disappeared into the bush and
the party thought that they had seen
the last of it. However, when the
canoe was half way down the stream
the animal again appeared

BROWNLOW JACKSON MOVES
HOUSE FRONTING POSTOFFICE

One of the large residential homes
on Fourth avenue used for the past
few years as an annex for the Ken
lucky Home, is being moved from the
old site on the corner of Fifth avenue
and Church street to vacant lot just
to the rear of where the building has
been standing and also to the rear of
the home of Brownlow Jackson.
It is Mr.. Jackson's purpose to let
the vacant lot remain vacant for some
time Since the lot fronts the post
office it is likely that it will be con-
verted into business district at an
early date. The lot will be converted
into a park.

E BAPTISTS OF THE
LIMA ASSOCIATION.

The Carolina Baptist asso-

Balfour Baptist church de-
cided to ship car load of
produce to the Baptist or
phanage at Thomasville on
Thursday, October 21.
The car of produce shipped
last year was so highly ap-
preciated that the Association
decided to ask the Baptists
to bring in sufficient produce
to fill another car.
d. S. Pace has consented
to give storage room for the
produce, but it is desired that
all who possibly can, bring
their gifts for the orphanage
on Thursday, but in case the
weather is very unfavorable
it may be brought on Friday
and Saturday.
It is hoped that the people
will respond sufficiently to
make a good car load of pro-
duce, which will materially
help the eorphanage. (
