CONGRATULATIONS to TraAsElvania
merchants They have organized the
Transylvania Merchants association.
Hendersonville merchants. should do
likewise. - "a So,
The Transylvania. merchants for the
past two weeks have used half-page
advertisements in the Brevard News
to make the following announcement: :,
ITO the Public: -,
1--WE, the undersigned merchants,
have organized the Transyfvania,
Merchants Association: se
"This organization has no desire
or intention to in any way regulate
or control prices on any merchan-
disc sold by us. 80,
"The members of this association
have agreed that all open accounts
are due and payable at the close o.
the month. Customers are expected
to settle same not later than the 10th
OF the following month or make sat-
isfactory arrangements with the
merchant, otherwise no further
credit will be extended"
Many Hendersonville merchants
admit that they should organize and
stand shoulder to shoulder against
-dcadbeats, crooks and other un-
desirable purchasers, but for some
they can't get together. What
is the trouble? Can it be possible
that they don't have the spirit of CO.
operation. While we know little
about the mercantile business it
seems to us that it certainly would be
to the mutual advantage of about all
of them, especially the leaders in their
respective lines to organize, includ-
ing in the organization a secretary IN
service as well as name.
Why not organize?

THE CITY HEALTH WORK.

! The. citizens Of Hendersonville are
greatly indebted to the city commits
sioners for inaugurating the whole
time health work. HendersonviIle is
to be congratulated upon having a
governing board that has it's eyes
open to the needs of the community.
Had the commissioners done this one
thing for the city and nothing more
during their administration, they
would have wrought well; they have
done something that will be of meal
culable good; that will keep the city
on the map as a health resort rather
than let it go down in d~isrepute as a
disease preserve through neglect.
AS the Democrat has repeatedly
said, the health work is absolutely
necessary. The situation had reach
ed a crisis and we could no longer af-
fold to wink at an evil as it grew
greater.
The work has been inaugurated. The
city is getting the services of Dr.. j.
Frank Crawford at a very reasonable
price. He has promised to do just
about all things necessary to make us
a model community. DR.. Crawford
has his duties to perform regardless
of personal or political relations. It
is his duty to hew to the line, the chips
to fall where they may. If the people
will co-operate ins this work it win be
less sdificult toRaccomplieh the task
set before US. SIf they do not coop
crate voluntarily. They should be mado
to do sc under provisions of the law.
1t is the plain duty of aIl5of us to aid
in this work. Nowlets get busy with
out being forced to do so by the Off
GERS. The physicians in the. city
should also cooperate to the fulle
extent, or this work cannot be a suc-
cess.
The loyalty to the cause of health by
the Democrat cannot be questioned.
We intend to push the work and mould
sentiment as rapidly as possible, there
fore We expect to publish the figures
of the health officer with reference to
meat markets, slaughter pens and
diaries regardless of how they look
The Democrat as well as the city will
invite enmity in some respects, we
have already invited it for what we
have done, but we felt that we had a
duty to perform and we have done it
to the best of our ability and we shall
continue to do so. 1t is needless to
say that while the Democrat has been
too plain spoken for some who would
minimize our health record, we have
ha6 a number of people to congratu-
lete us and now the city fathers have
c me to the rescue of the people in this
we feel that our efforts have
also been more or less rewarded.

HENDERSON COUNTY AGAIN.

The Waynesville Courier charges
Henderson county with having pulled
out of the Greater Western North

made a deviation from the straight
line of veracity; that that Henderson
county has done no such thing. The
News wishes to serve notice of its
strict neutrality, and offer our service
