LAKE HAS MEANT MUCH.

DJAFUH FdI4Cy NEWS,
Along with the news that Kanuga
lake will be restored comes the an
nouncement that the Henderson coun-
ty commissioners have authorized the
county attorney to institute suit
against the lake owners for damages
done to county bridges. The Hender-
sonville Chamber of Commerce has
resoluted against such, which does
seem very small for a county, taking
into consideration what the lake has
meant in dollars and attraction for
Henderson county.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

1 am sorry for men who do not read
the Bible every day; I wonder why
they deprive themselves of the strength
and of the pleasure. There is no other
book that yields its meaning so per-
sonaIly, that seems to fit itself so in
timately to. the very spirit that is seek
ing it's guidance.-Woodrow Wilson.

We appreciate the interest of our
readers in helping us make the Hust-
Ter an ideal county paper and also wish
to express our thanks for the many
compliments on the paper that we are
receiving these days. All personals
and local items sent in by our subscrib-
ers are a great help and go a long
ways toward making the paper what we
want it it to be.
The Hustler acknowledges receipt
of a copy of the North Carolina Dem
ocratic Hand Book for 1916. The book
contains information that should be
instilled in the minds of every voter in
the state and is a convincing argu-
ment for the continued reign of De-
moeracy in our grand old state. The
book contains $40 pages and ts o
credit to the compilers.
One of the most interesting ex-
changes that comes to our desk is the
Titusville (Fla.) East Coast Advocate.
1t is made especially conspicuous. be-
cause it is printed on pink paper. Be-
sides this its news and special fea-
lures are highly entertaining.
Josephus Daniels, our secretary Of
the navy, has been taking some filings
at his critics in his speeches made up
in the New England states. Go at 'em,
Josephus, they need calling down, be-
cause their attacks all grow ont of a
jealous disposition.
Wilmington and Spencer are said to
be the only towns in this State that
will celebrate labor day, but we want
it understood that every day is labor
day with us.
After all, the pleasure of work Is
greatly increased when one knows that
his efforts are appreciated by others.

are the best show windows in town.

Before the water rentals are ex-

the board employs water inspectors

make list on card used for the
purpose showing the property own

number Of rooms, the number in

required to be signed by the occu-

in alphabetical order and from them
the assessments are made. After

notice of the same is given in the
newspapers and that the books will

COUNTED OUT" CHARGE
States Atty Maclay Hoyne today
cited the decision of Judge Jesse o.
Baldwin in refutation of the state
ment Of VIM. E. Guinea, the Social
list candidate, that he was rightfuIly
elected to the states attorneyship
in 1912, but was deprived of title to
it by fraud.
For four years" said Mr.. Hoyne,
Guinea has gone about Chicago
making the false statement that he
was rightfully elected states attor-
ney Guinea and every one who
watched the contest knows that his
assertion is not based on truth.
Nor can Guinea tTuthfully deny
that he was permitted to have a re-
count after 1 had voluntarily waived
technical rights, that would, have
barred the hearing of his petition.
The court had held the, petition in
sufficient and the ballots were only
opened at my express suggestion and
consent.
Judge Baldwin's decision, at the
COuCluSlOu VI J4C IGCOuuI VI oil Tie
ballots cast, was to the effect that
in "a out of the 35 wards in Chicago
the election had been clean and
without fraud
"In only 10 out Of more than 1,4OO
or 1900 precincts were any iTreg-
ularities found, and it was so obvious
that the errors that were found could
not substantially change the results
that the recount was abandoned be-
fore a decree was entered.
Guinea has cunningly contrived
to spread the impression that he was
robbed of the states attorneys office
while on its threshold and about to
enter it and assume its duties.
