sixth and eighth police districts, and in
cluding virtually every house now un-

Serves Notice That Next
November's Election Is
Not Yet Won.
BUT DEMOCRATS
ADMIT NO FEARS
Despite All Signs of Hughes's
Strength, They Count on
President to Win.

From q star Correspondent o. TIE IrlUuneI
Washington, July 27.-When Presi-
dent Wilson cropped his bombshell
among surprised and perspiring Demo
Gratis the other day by postponing his
notification speech he served notice
that November's election, however
much Of a walkaway IL might seem, was
not yet won.
when. further. the President follow
cd this the next day by going TO the
CAPITOL and repeating the old trick of
calling before him recalcitrant Sena-
tors on child labor and workmen's COM
pensation legislation Democracy sat
up and rubbed its eyes. Was not this
a virtual admission that the President
considered the passage of these meas
ures essential TO the party's success
next fall?
With those two acts Congress sud
denly stirred in the lethargy that had
descended on il with the political con-
ventions and the dog days. 1t heard
the rumblings in the direction OF
Bridgehampton, where for days, feet
runners in Tammany war paint brought
word. formidable concentration Of the
enemy had been taking place.
Democrats Confident.
Never was the psychology Of Wash
ington more curious than IN these
weeks before the beginning of the ac-
tive campaign Knowing that they are
a minority party and conscious Of
Hughes's formidable power as an an
tagonist, still there is among Demo-
Gratis an air of supreme confidence as
70 the result. And there is none Of
that forced and artificial optimism that
is second nature TO so many politicians. S.
II is a feeling perfectly genuine. Yet
when one tries 10 analyze down to the
reasons for this confidence immediate
lv he encounters the quicksands. No
Democrat outside of the South is sure
of carrying his own state; no two
Democrats will give the same reasons
for thinking this is Democratic year.
The main element in the Democratic
creed of faith is the President. lie is
the one outstanding leader OF the

ton Organized.

Parents Of the City, having been in
Vited by letter. met in the auditorium
Of the graded school Friday Afternoon
and organized a Parent-Teachers' As
sociation with a membership of about
20.
The parents began arriving early
and the meeting was opened by Super
,ntendent c.. E. Blackstock, who clearly
and forcefully stated his object in re-
questing such meeting, the object be-
ing to arouse a school spirit IN the city
He gave some very striking Instances
to prove the lack of such spirit, and
the utter ignorance of the majority Of
those who had a dhiId or children in
the school. Citing conditions existing,
he told Of one parent who was even
unaware CT the name of the present
superintendent.
Mr. Blackstock spoke forcefully and
gioWingly of the industry of education,
stating that it was the greatest indus :
ry in Hendersonyille. He then begged
the mothers to form themselves into
S ssme sort of an organization whose:

a power in the community. He then
called upon Miss Bessie Steedman to
act as chairman, and the meeting was
turned over to the ladies.
The first step was to vote for the es-
tablishment of a permanent organiza-
tion to be known as the .Parent-Teach-
eTs' Association. The following ladies

Barnwell, president; Mrs. J. S. Brown.

the choice lay with the people of the
city.

HONE HOTEL
TO Be STEAM HEATED
of HendersOnyilIe's History
as a Winter ResOrt-ImprOvements
at. Carolina Terrace.

On the eve of the changing Of own
ership Of the Kentucky Home hotel. a
contract has been let by the new man
agement for steam heating this well
known hotel The j. w. Mcintyre
Plumbing company has received the
contract and expect to begin work at
once in placing steam heat in all the
rooms of the hotel.
E, B. Wooten the new owner, is an
experienced hotel man Of South Caro-
lima and he will be remembered as
manager of the Wheeler hotel here
several summers ago. The Wheeler
has now been remodeIed and extensive
ly improved under the ownership OF
Howell Cobb, who has changed its
name to The Carolina Terrace.
The installing Of steam heat in The
Kentucky Home is the beginning OF
Hendersonville' history as a winter
resort. This move will greatly assist
in attracting winter tourists to Hen
dersonville and makes the third ofthe
largest hotels in the city with steam
heat The Park Hill has had steam
heat seEeraF years and wiif remain
open this winter. The Carolina Ter
race has just completed one of the
most complete heating plants in the
country and is now open.
The j. w. Mcintyre Plumbing COM
pany, is local firm, and deserves
credit for securing this large contract
against out Of town competition.

Prospects are unusually bright for
the election of James Foy JI,stice as
state senator from the Thirty-second
district Of North Carolina.
Mr.. Justice has been quietly seeing
the voters throughout the district and
has met with encouragement wherever
he went. He does not believe in let
ting the grass grow-up around him, so
to speak, and is leaving nothing un-
done. towards making his race a sue
cess.
Henderson county Democrats are ac.
tive~in behalf of Mr.. Justice and the
predictions are that he will receive
one of the largest votes ever cast for
a State Senator in Henderson county
Mr.. Justice is prominent lawyer of
Headersonyille. He began his prac-
tiee here on business like basis and
has made many friends, who are anx-
ious that he be selected to represent
this district in the legislature
Mr. Justice is man of ability, and
a pleasing speaker, which will no
doubt aid him in making a reputation
for himself and as we'll enable him to
look after the interests of his constit-
uents
Henderson County Democrats are
going to support Mr. Justice to the
man.

: As the people of Henderson county
are coming to know Carroll P. Rogers
better. as the campaign progresses they
are convinced that the Democratic
party made wise choice in selectin g
him as their candidate for the legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Rogers is a man of broad expe-
Iience. Having been born and reared in
the home Of a country Methodist circuit
rider, he early learned to know and
understand the needs of the country
people At an early age ne entered
the cotton mill business and when. ,cn
years ago. the Skyland Hosiery Cons
pany, one of. the pioneer aid most sue
cessfuI enterprises of the cotIntss nzsls
established near Flat Rock, Mr. Itogefs''
tho young in years was selected by tie
directors to manage the business. As
a result of his enterprise the town of
East Fiat Rock was established which
is Now hriVin lace ofs75Q inhab5z
tants. Although Mr.. Rogers mas de-
veloped his business, here to a point
beyond the dreams Of the promoters,
and incidentally is giving to Hender-
son county a pay roll of $1250.00 per
week, he has by no means been a
slave to his business, but on the con-
trary finds much time to think and act
for the public good. When the splen-
did graded school was established at
East Flat Rock, there were none who
worked harder, contributed more liber-
ally or offered wiser counsel than Mr..
Rogers, and at all times he is STANDING
for the promotion of everything which
will make life more worth living for
the entire community. He is an en-
thus!ast for good roads, better schools
and better churches.
It is not surprising, therefore that
a record of this kind Should appeal to
the good citizens of the county regard
less Of party Affiliations and that many
are now thinking that Mr.. Rogers will
receive enough Republican and inde-
pendent votes to make his majority a
safe one.

Plans for Root Memorial.

Hendersonville is to be honored
November 15 with the presence of w.
A. Fraser of Omaha. Neb., Sovereign
Commander of the Woodmen of the
World. 1t is through the efforts OF
the local lodge, White Pine Camp No.
213, that Mr. Fraser will visit Hender-
sonvilIe He is at the head of an or
ganization of nearly one million mem
bers and it is seldom he finds time
to visit as small a city as Henderson
vile when it is remembered that he
must divide his time over the whole
United States.
An open meeting will be arranged
for the reception Of the distinguished
guest. He will no doubt be shown
over the city by those. in charge and
it is likely that the Subject of the
Root Memorial Park will be discussed
while Mr.. Fraser is here. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Root, the found
er of all woodcraft, died in Hender-
sonyilIe in 1918, while on a visit here.
The movement for erecting suitable
memorial for the deceased head Of the
Woodmen of the World has been un-
der way for some time. 1t is the plan
now on foot to make this monument
a park somewhere in the city OF Hen
dersonville. Several places have been
spoken of as being suitable for a park
in which South Carolina and North
Carolina Woodmen can meet in the
summer, and Woodmen visitors from
al over the United States may come
