RevieU Of Recent Road Work
Done in Henderson COUNTY,
AUTOS STIMULATE GOOD ROADS.
Local Firm Inaugurate Big AdYertiS-
ing Campaign; Agents for tire
Ford and Overland.

I'VE hope to double last years
sales, said j. Mack Rhodes of the
firm of Rhodes, Clarke and Jackson.
distributors for the Overland, Studer-
baker and Ford cars in Henderson
county, when he closed an advertising
contract with Hustler man last Mon
day.
1t is certainly wonderful how uni
versal the Ford car has become in
Henderson county. The farmers are
buying rapidly and to travel of the
county roads without seeing Ford on
the road or in a barn on the side of the
road is rather remarkable.
The part that the Ford car is playing
iE North Carolina can be seen from the
editorial from the Charlotte Observer
which is reproduced below:
Mr.. G. G.. Miller of Watauga County
has compiled for The University News
Letter county exhibit of automobile
ownership in North Carolina for the
year ended last June He gives Gull
ford the lead with 985, Mecklenburg
coming second with 983. That. of
course, was before Ford commenced
turning out automobiles in Charlotte.
TIE only other county approaching
these two in number of autos is Wake
With 745. Buncombe is second to
Wake with 725. Forsyth has 565 and
New Hanover 515. Mr. Miller found
but one automobile in Clay and Madi-
son counties and none in Allegheny,
Graham and Mitchell The total num-
bcr of automobiles in the State was
1910, or one for every rs families.
Mr.. Miller finds that the State is buy
ing machines at the rate of 80 a day.
and The Observer thinks this estimate
is too low for the present year. 1t is
pretty dull day in Charlotte auto
circles when the sales do not reach in
the neighborhood of 100 day. As
bearing on the relation of automobiles
and good roads, Mr.. Miller says that
all examination of the good roads map
of the State shows that the counties
having the most improved roads are
the counties with the most automo
biIes. Clearly automobiles stimulate
good road building. For instance,
Scotland is first in percentage of i'm
proved roads and fourth in automo-
biles. New Hanover is second in good
roads and first in cars. The big city
counties lead in cars and improved
road mileage.

INSTITUTE HERE
THIS SUMMER
G. +. WRIGHT TO MANAGE CHRIS
TIAN HOME AND INSTITUTE
FOR BIBLE STUDENTS.
FROM JUNE !, TO OCT. l
Any Person Who Contemplate Coming
to HendersOnvilEe Can Join Class.
4 ID. s. Pace House.

A Christian Home and Bible Insti-
trte will be conducted in Henderson
vile during the season opening June
and lasting until October 1, accord
ing to an official prospectus being
issued by Rev. George F. Wright who
holds the position of manager of the
Institute.
The location will be in the twenty
two room dwelling house of D. S.
Pace on Jonas street. two blocks
from the Southern passenger station.
The faculty of the Institute has not
been announced, but will be published
within few weeks. Mr.. Wright
states that he has received the hearty
support of some of the ablest preach
ers OF several denominations through
out the South. 1t is to be a non-sec-
tartan affair, not connected with any
church or institution but indorsed by
the local churches.
The opening paragraphs of the
prospectus contains the following:
Mrny Christians have very little time
for Bible study throughout the year,
their time being occupied by business
duties, desire a season for the study
of the Bible under efficient teachers
and in quiet surroundings where there
is a spiritual atmosphere.
Many good people visit the summer
resorts every season seeking health
and recreation. which they find in
abundance, but often to the detri-
nent of their spiritual lives This
latter being the result of the need for
an institution that provided for both
the healthful recreation and the op-
portunity for Bible study and gener
spiritual development.
The following and other subject
will be- taught. Synthetic study of the

MANY CARS SOLD LOCALLY
Never in History Have so Many Cars
Been Sold in This County.
Gasoline High.

Is Hendersonville feeling prospe-
rous? She is, if you are to judge by
the lively trade being done by the
local dealers in automobiles. Never:
in the history of the county have so
many cars been bought by, citizens OF
the surrounding country and the
town as have been purchased within
the past month or two. 1t will not
be long before everybody will own <or
have an interest in a car, if the
present rate of buying is continued.
Exhorbitant price of gasoline, which
is still thirty cents a gallon, retail,
locally. has had little effect on the
owners of cars. The roads are in
condition to be used almost daily
with pleasure. and this brings the
gas-burners out in large numbers.
Among those who have purchased
cars recently may be mentioned: J.L,e
Orr. Geo. cGianakos. e. j. Anders,
w. w. Walker, D. D. Brock, H. d.
POTS, N, A. Melton, w p. Gillian.
Paul Gearhart. G. F. Darlington and
B. Jackson.

JACKSON MAY
NOT ATTEND
IT IS SAID BY A FRIEND THAT
: b. JACKSON WILL NOT MAKE
FIGHT FOR CHICAGO SEAT.
HARMONY WANTED
If His Running as Delegate to Con-
TentiOn Caused Fight He Will
Not Hinder Britt'S Cause.

News is heralded from Asheville
that the Progressives may try to send
delegate from the Tenth district tc
the Chicago convention. 1t has been
generally conceded here by the Re-
publicans for several months prior, tc
the state convention that Brownlow
Jackson, vice president of the Citi-
zens National Bank, would be one Of
the two delegates from this district.
Mr.. Jackson is a straight Republican
Of the old school.
A prominent Republican and a
friend of Mr.. Jackson's said the other
day that Mr.. Jackson would not make
a fight at the congressional conven-
ton for a seat in the Chicago conven-
ton. He will do nothing that will
jeopardize the prospects of Congress-
man J. J. Britt retaining his office.
He is for harmony above all else 226
if necessary will give way to allow
scme one else to represent his party
in the Chicago convention. Mr. jack
sons friends want him to have the
honor and no doubt strong effort
will be made to land him.
The Asheville Citizen carried the fol-
lowing, interview from a prominent
man who has sized up the situation:
"The rank and file of the party re-
fuses to be led into a fight which will
renew the perplexing problems of four
years ago. The congressional con-
vention will elect delegates to Chica-
go from among the men who fought to
win this district two years ago. and
who are now fighting to retain the
district, regardless of where he stood
four years ago"
THIS. J. Harkins, c. J. Harris.
Thomas Greene of. sWaynesville, anu
Richmond Pearson are among those
WHO are being mentioned as candi-
dates for the privilege of sitting in at
Chicago.

After Five" which opened at the Dream last night for three night run. In spite of its hints at murder and blackmail. black hand threats. suicide mania. etc. is one of tho new est kinds of comedy drama.
