CARNEGIE LIBRARY PROVIDES
FACILITIES FOR '.BOOK-WORMS. ;

The possession of splendid public library
is one of Hendersonville s greatest intellee-
tual assets It is not often that a city of
her size can boast of so fine an equipment in
this respect, and the citizens show their in
terest in the undertaking by giving it lib
eral patronage. and by donating to its sup
port.
Through the efforts of Charles French
Toms, Andrew Carnegie became interested
in a library for Hendersonville, and as re-
suit the city officials promised to supply a
librarian and to look after the up-keep OF
the plant in return for funds for a building.
Ground was broken at the corner of 4ta
avenue and King street, and in the fall Of
last year the building was completed and
formally opened by a reception to all the
citizens. The cost of the structure complete
was $4,000.
A capable librarian was secured in the
person Of Mrs Norma Sandifer who remains
at the building the greater part of each week
day. A regular indexing system is follow

A spirited contest is on for Attor-
rev General next year with Judge
Frank Carter, the only avowed candt-
date. Collector Josiah William Bail
ey, of Raleigh, mas been mentioned
but says he will thoroughly sound the
sentiment before announcing himself,
that he has no inclination to force
himeslf upon the party and is merely
considering the suggestion of becom-
ing a candidate. Mr.. T. H. Calvert,
the present assistant to the Attorney
General, and a very capable lawyer,
also has the matter under advisement
| and there is a probability of finding
| his hat in the ring later on. Former
Lieutenant Governor R. A. Doughton
has been favorably mentioned along
| with r. o. Everett, Esq, of Durham
N. J. Rouse, of Kinston, and w. A
Self of Hickory. General Bickett's
/ ambition to be Governor opens the
way for a lively scrap for the position
he now so completely fills and the op
portunity will not be lost. There is
little LIKELIHOOD of the Office going
begging.
The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were
delighted with the cordial reception
accorded them during their sojourn in
progressive Hendersonyille and went
away singing the praises of this fin;
little city. They were impressed witt
the magnificent. church edifices, thu
splendid educational institutions, thu
substantial business blocks and beau
tiful thoroughfares, which tell a stor.

learn nothing more, probably you will
get a practical lesson on the import
ance of swatting the fly.
Down in South Carolina in their
communications to the newspapers
they refer to us thusly: Henderson
vile is the mountain center of traffic.
That's improving some. When you
picture us on the intersecting link of
the Asheville- Charlotte highway, the
rain mountain point on the Hender-
sonville- GreenvilIe, Hendersonville-
Spartanburg highway, it does seem
mighty important and high-sounding.
Quite a big fellow the Democrat is
this week with it's thirty-two pages,
which is quite unusual for a Hender-
sonville paper. This means a progress
sive community and progressive pub
fishers. This issue this week is worth
filing away for future reference. To
those who receive sample copies in
Henderson county we might add that
this is an opportune time for you to
subscribe for the best paper ever pub
1ished in Henderson county. Why
can't you boost your county this much 3?
Mr.. K. G. Morris, banker; and DR..
G Few, farmer; both of whom should
know something about money and
farm products, declare that the COM
mercial salvation of Henderson couE-
tt does not depend solely upon big
tourist crop but bigger farm crops,
which mean more money crops. They
were moved by the estimate in the
Democrat of Prof. E. C. Branson Of
/. tie North Carolina University to the
effect that Henderson county failed
annually by $96S, 900 to raise enough
food and feed stuffs to supply the
county, ranking 46th among the coun-
ties in North Carolina. They are
right. Henderson county must Guilt
vate other crops as we'll as the tourist
crop. Perhaps the slogan of Demon
strator Perkins will help: $4,000
acres of clover for Henderson county
in 1916"

The Buddhist priest in Japan often
takes the place of the droll Irishman
with US, and is made the butt OF
many witticisms and practical Jokes.
Wherever one travels In Japan he
hears any number of such tales from
the less religious among the people.
The priests do not generally live to-
gether in monasteries, like the monks
of the Middle Ages. but they live with
their families in the temples or else
alone with q servant or pupil usually
known BY the name of Kozo.
An old priest who was called (be-
hind his back, of course) Yokubukai

count OF his well-known taste for the
good things Of this world, lived alone
with . small boy who waited on him.
expecting incidentally to learn some
thing Of priestcraft himself, and be-
come . priest too some day. But this
particular kozo was far from having
priestly qualifications, As this tale will
show. Like all boys. Kozo had fail
ing for sweets, but as his master was
similarly disposed, the boy had very
little chance of indulging his tastes In
this direction.
One day. however, as luck would
have 1t. boxful of very delicious
cakes was sent to the old priest dur
ing his absence by the inmates Of a
neighboring temple. AS it was a
Buddhist festival, a great deal Of
pains had been expended to make the
cakes as attractive as possible, and
as Kozo raised the box lid and looked
at the tempting dainty with its invit-
ing covering of powdered sugar he
felt the temptation was too strong for
him, and as no one was near to pre-
vent him, he ate all without stopping
to think of the consequences. After
the deed was done, however, he began
to anticipate the displeasure of his
master, to whom cake was so dear.
Kozo. therefore (sly fellow. took the
empty box to the shrine Of Buddha,

"What, Buddha tell lies! Wen cure
him of 1t IL he does! Well see!" ana
the priest strobe out into the temple
garden. where stood a great iron pot
used for heating large quantities OF
water, and, building q fire under IT,
soon had the water in 1t boiling. into
this he popped poor Buddha. who in
stantly began to boil. making sound
like "Kuta-kuta" (word for have
esten'0.
"There!" cried the boy triumphant
". he confesses under torture! He
says he has eaten the cake"
This priest seems to have been UNI
fortunate in his pupils, for. discharg-
ing the former kozo as too clever Tor
an old man like himself, he obtained
a likely lad. but who. alas, was vic-
tim to the same love Of sweets as his
predecessor. Finding that his master
was not disposed to give him any OF
the coveted sweets. he set his brains
to work to get some by fair means
or foul.
One day q kind neighbor sent IN
some choice cakes, which the Old
priest, profting by former experience.
Immediately took charge Of and put IN
. locked closet Il lock these cakes
up," he explained to his observans
young neophyte. that you may NOT
get them BY mistake. for they are pol.
son and 1t would kill you to eat them
That night, though. when the priest
was asleep. Kozo found the key ana
placed it where he could easily nnd Il
in the morning. The priest went out
early next day and Kozo ran joyfully
to the closet, which he unlocked ana
ate up the cakes with great relish.
Then he took fine cup, Of which the
priest was very fond, and broke 1t on
the doorstep. When the priest re-
turned he found the boy weeping bit
terly over the fragments.
What has happened. Kozo?" asked
the astonished priest
"Oh, SIR" replied the boy through
his sobs, II broke your treasured cup.
