ELECTIONS AND BUSINESS

. With one more election ip the past, Hen
Jacksonville will be done with elections un-
/ til November; and can give undivided at
tention through the Summer to business.
/ The remaining election for the present is
that on the so-called "open Sunday. The
primary debris will be cleaned up in few
days (although some of the results as well
as the nominations will be projected into
the future) and with Saturdays election
! out of the way, the people should turn
, their attention to business.
J Summer time is harvest time in this town
and section. 1t is the busy season of the
entire year. 1t is, therefore, a favorable
thing for this section that primaries in
North Carolina are held in June and GER
eral elections in November. We can get
the primaries behind us and devote efforts
to business during the Summer, then have
a couple of months after the Summer rush
to scrap about the general election.
The 'Times-News advises that this course
be taken this year. There is a splendid
outlook for business here and throughout
the harvest is on-then the general cleo
ton scrap can be pulled off in the Fall,
will be decided early in November, and
gotten out of the way in time for Thanks
giving and Christmas business.
This is long view ahead, perhaps; but
the long view is the view the people OF
this town and section must take. They
must show exceptional business judgment
in the management of their affairs, public
and private, if Hendersonville and Her.
derson county are to be restored to normal
and prosperous general conditions. We
must do business in order to accomplish
this purpose.
The Times-News again calls attention to
the Saturday election-next Saturday
June 9th-at the city hall-an election in
which only qualified voters of the city can
participate. 1t is the election to decide the
so-called open Sunday" issue.
The balloting will be for or against the
adoption of this ordinance. The ordinance
provides for the opening of picture shows
and the playing of baseball on Sunday. AS

of the voters and a number have called on
The Times-News' for Interpretation. Of
course this newspaper is not an official in
terpreter, but is pleased to be of whatever
service it may be to the voters, in this con-
nection. We suggest, however, that Mayor
Edwards or City Attorney j. E. Shipman
be called upon for official interpretations.
However, The Times-News does not ae-
heye that anyone should be confused by
this ordinance or the issue.
If you are opposed to Sunday picture
shows and baseball, and, perhaps, other
Sunday amusements, vote AGAINST the
ordinance.
If you favor Sunday picture shows and
baseball, and, perhaps, other Sunday
amusements, vote FOR the ordinance.
The Times-News again urges all quail.
