POLITICS IN COUNTY
TAKING ON new LIFE
Several Independent Democratic Can.
didates for County Oficers
Mr.. Rogers Active.

The local political situation has
taken on new life during the past few
weeks. The candidates for various
offices of the two parties have. been
fbeating the bushes of late. While
the Democratic party had no avowed
candidates in the recent primary, nor
did but one qualify as nominee bu:
there are several Independent Demo
Gratis. running for Office in this coun-
ty. j. W. McCarson, who came very
near being elected sheriff four years
ago, is in the race for sheriff this
year. He is as well known in the
county as any man and his friends
are confident Of his election. It will
take the full Democratic strength and
a few of the other party to win the
race. Fralo Kuykendall is right after
the tax collectors job running against
an old timer, w. F. Brown, who is now
serving his second term and had a
close-and bitter race in securing the
nomination from his party for the
third term.
In the race for legislature c. P.
Rogers was the only nominee of the
Democratic party in the primary out
! side of the race for state senate
which is really more than county
Office, there being three counties in
the district. Mr.. Rogers is making q
strenuous campaign. He has already
visited every voting precinct in the
county and is making a clean cam
paign. He expects to beat the Re
publican nominee, BrownRw Jack
son, by a close figure.
The candidates for commissioners
are all Republicans and are taking
life easy until after November 8.
w. A. Barnett is the independent
candidate for township constable run
ming against J. Wallace Redden. the
Republican candidate.

When the Dollar VIII
be Standard Of Value

Interest in Dollar Day which is
to be staged AaoIaday SEP aEnbe IS.
Rnder end
Eille Business Houses is gEpz l,<
idly. As the appointed time draws
nearer prospective customers, recall
ing many excellent commercial tfds
bits picked up on such occasions, are
preparing to take full advantage: of
what will be offered. !.
There is an especial reason for this
interest just at present which Is not
far to seek. There are probably few
people who have not felt keenlya With
in resent years the gradual rise in the
general level Of prices. This rise
had its beginning some pears ago and
although there have been certain
halts in it's progress, the movement as
a whole shows no tendency to disap-
pear: On the contrary, prices. are
still rising and seem likely to rise. for
some time to come. =.
The stocks from which the local
merchants are to select their DOL
lar Day" bargains, however, were con-
traeked for and bought some time ago
at atlevel as a general rule much un-
der that. prevailing at. present. This
fact will. have a material bearing up
on the values that will be offered and
every shrewd buyer is well aware OF
the fact.
The merchants will go to the very
limit In combining and constructing
their Dollar Day" bargains with the
end in view of creating popularity for
their respective stores and gaining
new friends rather than of securing
net profit On the items sold. This
year the values will really be greater
than ever owing to the fact just men
toned, namely that prices are rising
and that the goods offered were puo-
chased when the market was notably
lower. Viewed from. this aspect the
approaching event gives promise OF
+, being the most interesting thing: of its
kind ever staged in this vicinity.

EANUCA TO HAVE
fine GOLF COURSE
Eighteeu Hole Links Laid Out by Ex-
pert-Dam to be Finished This
Month.

The owners of the Kanuga Lake and
cInb property are going right ahead
with the work of repa ring the pro-
nertv from the effects of the big rain
Storm this summer and it is announc-
Cd that the new dam will be completed
bv october 1. E. B. Gresham, manager
of The club, will remain there all win
ter and look after the improvements
being made.
When asked about the proposed dam
ace suit against Mr.. Stephens by Hen
derson county, Mr.. Gresham didn't say
word. but looked as if he thought:
There's nothing to it,
Plans have been perfected for the
installation of a steam heating plant
in the club house and the club will be
kent open all winter, thus drawing
many winter tourists to this section.
But by far, the best news that has
come from Kanuga in long time is
the announcement that they are to
have a splendid 18-hole golf course.
The plans for the links have been
completed by r. H. M. Hull of Savan-
nah Ca, one of the best golf experts
in the south. He was engaged by the
management of Kanuga to map out
and supervise the construction of the
new links.
Mr.. Hull has made the first tee in
front of the club, the first hole being
on a knoll across an arm of the
lake to the north, and the next sixteen
holes going in the same direction
through beautiful valley and over the
hills. returning to the eighteenth hole
at the club house.
H,,n h0 MD
courses throughout the country, says
he has never seen anywhere location
more beautiful for golf course. and
predicts that when the links are COM
pleted the best golfers i'm the country
will be certain to come to Kanuga and
play over them.
Mr.. Hull having completed the plans
for the links, has returned to Savan-
nah.
There has been continual demand
for an eighteen-hole course at Kanuga
for some tine and the management
was planning for just such an under
taking when the dam broke this sum
mer. This caused them TO revise
their plans, build a smaller lake and
use part of the. former lake basin Tor
the construction or the course
The club has had q nine hole course
for the past five years, but itwas two
miles from the club house, and the new
course will start right in front OF the
club, so that golfers will have NO
trouble in getting to the links when
the new course IS completed.
The new course win be available for
Hendersonville. and all local hotels.
The management Of the club is going
to join the Southern Golf Association
and standard tournaments viii be held
at which both professional and anna
teur records will stand. 1t is plan
ned to have the tournaments either
follow or precede the Asheville tourn-
ament. thus giving longer season for
golfing in the mountains OF Western
North Carolina
: Kanuga Club and members of the
club will offer two cups as prizes and
it has been proposed that the Hender-
sonyille Board of Trade offer cup
also. '~ =; Il

APPLE BLOSSOMS IN sEPTEMBER,

hibiting a cluster of apple blossoms
which he pulled from a tree in his
orchard September 4. Tht tree. while
being full of well developed apples,
has made a second growth this year
and is blooming right along. The
doctor thinks, that although they
might not come to maturity, apples
will develop from these blossoms be-
fore frost. Cherry trees have been
observed to bloom twice in one sum-
mer, but for apple trees to bloom
twice is something new In this part

humanitarian work which is excep-
tionally worthy of commendation As

EcoEnraanity 90 train the many blinded
British, French and Belgian soldiers
in trades not requiring sight so that
they can support themselves and their
families I'm spite OF their misfortune.
The blinded soldiers are unusually
deserving. Their lives have been per-
maHentlys wrecked in the defense or
their homes, families and countries.
They can be rescued from their appar-
entity helpless fate by the establish
ment OF q practical and business like
system or training schools. employ
ment agencies workshops and ex-
changes which will create a maFkee
for bliHdSmade products.
Their own governments; being over
burdened with many more immediate
and yftam problems, cannot either at
present or for years to come establish
such n system of institutions as ade-
quately or completely as Is desirable
from a humanitarian stand point.
If America will help, almost all the
many unfortunate blinded soldiers
can, sWathai.4& very few years, be re-
stored to a real usefulness and at
tleast te=azromparatiVe prosperity and
happiness.
