Leading citizens who have the best
interests of Hendersonville at heart
and who take pride in that wonderful
institution, Fassifern. which does more
than any other one factor in advertis-
ing Hendersonville, are highly indig-
nant over the report that some boys or
young men attempted to obstruct the
sidewalk when the young ladies of thiG
school were on shopping tour in Hen
dersonville.
1t is said that a party of young
ladies escorted by a member of the
faculty were abruptly stopped by some
young men of the city on one of the
main thoroughfares one day last week
and some very unpleasant remarks
were made by the men or boys.
Miss Shipp, principal of the school,
states that unless her girls are given
better protection in the city of Hender-
sonville she will be forced to refuse to
to allow the girls to come down town
and do their shopping. and will be
compelled to take them to Asheville to
do their shopping. This would mean
thousands of dollars loss to the local

merchants. However there will be no
case OF this kind. The merchants will
see that the law is enforced. The Off
GERS have been notified and warrants
will no doubt be issued within the next
few days.
It has been suggested by one prom
inent citizen that a law should be
passed by the city council making it
fine of $50 for the offence that was
perpetuated last week. There is now
several ordinances on the statute book
upon which these young men can be
tried.
A repetition Of such acts as were COM
mitted by the young men last week
would no doubt cause the leading citi-
zens of Hendersonville to go to the
extreme in seeing that the guilty par
ties are severely dealt with.
The young ladies of Fassifern are
members of some of the best families
of the several states in which they
live. They are under the care and re-
sponsibility of the principals who ask
that something be done to give better
protection while shopping in Hender
sonville.

HUSTlER'S REPORT MADE
STATEMENT TOO STRONG
prof BlackStOck COrrects Statement
attributed to Him in Talk Before
Parent Teachers Association.

In last weeks issue Of the Hustler
tbe following statement attributed to
me in a talk which made before the
Parent-Teachers association on Fri
day, October 13, appeared: HE gave
some very striking instances to prove
the lack of such spirit (school spirit
an dthe utter ignorance of the maiori-
tv of those who had a child or children
in the school" / am making this
statement for the purpose of correct
ing the latter half Of the above report
did not use the terms "utter ignOr-
ance" in this broad sense. I said that
majority of the people of Henderson,
vile were utterly ignorant of the in
ternal conditions of the school, that
they were unaware of it's needs, its
handicaps it's strong points, or of its
standing among the schools of Western
North Carolina. 1t was to cure these
stagnating conditions that the Parent
Teachers association was organized,
and consider that this organization,
to a very great extent, controls the
destiny of public education in Hender-
sonville.
The people of this town are unusual
" progressive. as is evidenced by beau
tiful streets. broad sidewalks, and
substantial and well equipped public
buildings. Hendersonville is in fact
the City Beautiful Of North Carolina.
But public education here is not ON a
par with the other civic improvements,
nor is it up to par with the educa-
tional systems of the other towns in
Western North Carolina. This condi-
ton is not due to the peoples lack Of
appreciation of the value Of education,
but it is due to lack OF knowledge OF
the status of our school. / have un-
bounded faith in the Willingness Of the
people of Hendersonyille to respond
whenever acquainted with the facts of
the case. The response is the school
spirit which we need, and the response
is only dormant. Therein lie the pos
sibilities of the mothers working
through the Parent Teachers associa-
ton. C. 3. BLACKSTOCK,
superintendent.

TEN CONGEESSHEN AND $4,000
STATE MAJORITY IS PREDICTED

NJ L. Shipman Of Raleigh, commits
sioner of labor and printing, was in
HeDdersonville Monday on his way to
some of the far western counties of the
state in the interest of his candidacy
for reelection and also for the Demo-
cratic ticket as a whole.
He says indications at State head
quarters is to the effect that the Dem
ocratic majority in North Carolina this
year will be around $4,000 and that ten
congressman will be elected. The ma
tional ticket, instead Of running behind
the state ticket as heretofore, this year
will run about even.
The Democrats of the eastern coun-
ties of the state are aroused more than
thev have been since 1900 and an old
time majority will be rolled up in that
section this year. The Republican
campaign seems to be falling of all
over the state.
The Democratic majority in the
North Carolina legislature will be
about the same as at the last session.
This will give SO Democrats in the
house and % Republicans, and in the
senate there will be 43 Democrats and
Z Republicans. if the present indica-
tions materialize.
While here Mr.. ShipInan left an Or
der to have printed 10000 folders,
carrying the appeal to the people OF
North Carolina to contribute one days
income to the orphanges of the state.
and these will be sent to every nook
and corner of the state. Mr.. Shipman

A shadow was cast over the happi-
ness of the local Republicans last Sun
day when the result of the New York
Heralds STRAW vote was learned. They
were not expecting the news they re-
ceived that President Wilson was gain
ing and Mr.. Hughes losing. The Re-
publicans of Henderson county are, as
a whole. a game set. No matter how
bad the situation looks for their party
they will not give up until the last vote
is counted.
The slow speed at which they were
moving happily prevented a serious
collision on the Southern Railway just
north of the ice plant Friday evening
when a light engine returning from
Balfour collided head-on with north
bound freight. The pilots Of both en-
gines were demolished by the impact,
but both were able to proceed on their
way. Eye witnesses said at least one
of the engine crews jumped when they
saw the collision could not be averted.
The two engines met at curve on the
crest of a grade. Just which crew was
at fault could not be learned.
There will be more cabbage planted
in Henderson county next year than
we used to raise back in the days when
old Henderson county was famous for
her cabbage" said well known farm
er yesterday. The price paid for CAB
bage this year will induce the farmers
to 90 back to their first love. 1t Will
be remembered that one season here
cabbage became so cheap that there
was no MONEY in it. This caused the
farmers to stop planting and the ship
ping of this product became mere
side line to compare with what DIG
item it had been in years gone by.
The wholesale produce men are not
giving much advice about the matter
because it all depends on how the mar
ket is supplied about the time Hender-
son county cabbage comes in. If
some other section hits the market
with a big supply then the price will
not be much. But some of the. farmers
are going to gamble on the market.
