LAST YEARS BUSINESS VOLUME
INCREASED

ToooI bnsiness was better last year than
in 1898. The records of HendersonVllle
business men disclose this fact. Inc IN
crease averaged around ten per cent. IN
retail trade and other lines of business, not
including manufacturing. The Times-News
has no information as to the record OF IN
dustrv. Some Hendersonville businesses
made a better record than the average OF
ten per cnt.
On the whole the record of the past year
is the most substantial proof obtainable
that local business conditions touched the
bottom in 1888. The comeback is not
startling in any particular, but it does offer
great encouragement under the clrcum-
stances. For four years local business was
apparently trying to reach the bottom OF
adverse conditions If the low point was
reached in 1888 and the return journey
was started in 1884, the reasonable con-
clusion is that further progress Will be
made in 1885. The conviction OF The
Times-News is that this will be the course
of business in this section and our citizens
should SHsfl6 snith this end in view, to i'm
prove IN (Isiness record of 1885 in COM
5 yssrison With the year 1884.
The Times-News is pleased to report to
al public which we believe is interested IN
the progress of the sections daily news
paper, that our business hit the bottom in
1883. Last years record was better IN
both advertising and circulation depart
ments. Increases were not large but the
Improvement was noticeable, especially IN
the circulation department of the business.
A remarkable record was made in that de-
partment. Never before in the history OF
the business were so many HendersonVlIle
and Henderson county people reading Inc
Times-News. Without any unusual effort
in circulation promotion both the carrier
and mail circulation of the paper have
held up remarkably we'll throughout the
so-called depression years.
As The Times-News recently pointed out
to local business men there has been a
general and impressive change in financial
and, business conditions in nearly all of the
territory from which the Summer business
Of this section comes. This statement ap-
plies with special impressiveness to the
cotton and tobacco producing sections of
the South and to Florida. The business
conditions map of the United States at this
time shows larger area in which business
is good" in the South than in any other
part of the country. In fact the good
business area of the South is larger than
that in all other sections of the country
combined, This being true it is certain
that active and profitable business is ahead
for this town and section when the big
tourist movement of the Spring and Sum-
mer begins.
If our people make the necessary prepa.
rations for taking care of the tourist trade
and push into all the avenues of profit
open in that and the agricultural possibili-
ties of the section, it is certain that the end
of 1885 will show business record which
will be decidedly more satisfactory than
the business of 1884.

all races are to be continued during
1885, but probably will be modified for
1887, the Contest Committee Of the
National Aeronautic Association has
announced.
The present classification of 200, 375,
$50 and 1000 cubic inch and unlimited
displacement will be continued next
year. For 1887 the clasSiflcations prob
ably will be reduced to four groups,
calling for ESQ, $50 and 1850 cubic
inch and unlimited displacement sizes.
1t is believed by members Of the
Technical Advisory Subcommittee,
headed by DR.. H. G. Dickinson Of
the Bureau Of Standards, that the
new groupings will offer a greater
stimulus to development. Encourage
ment of the 250-cubic- inch engine is
regarded as especially desirable to
meet the need of the aviation indus

suitable for use in a two-place air.

The announcements are made a
year in advance so that pilots and
racing plane designers and builders
may know definitely the coming dis
placement limitations in time to pro-
duce suitable airplanes and engines.
Camera Records Kept.
Photographic records will be kept
as log of each flight Of Americas
largest airphne, the new Martin
Clipper No. 7, now undergoing test
flights at Baltimore for Pan-Ameri-
can Airways.
Two small automatic cameras have
been mounted in the control compart-
ment to cover the instrument panels
and keep continuous Photographic
record of the instrument readings
during fight. During test flights
they have functioned perfectly, 1t Is
said, keeping a continuous pictorial
log of altitude, speed, quantity Of
fuel passing through the gauges, en-
gine temperatures, course flown and
other data.

mainly Tor the purpose OF creating
work for the unemployed-which 1t
has so well done.
These grants for highway con-
structions have been in excess of the
regular Federal aid appropriations
but have been spent in the same
manner-that Is through the State
highway departments Of the several
States. This method Of expenditure
has been probably the main reason
for the success in the national road
building program.
The road money from p. w. A. has
been spent through the already
well-organized, well-trained, State
departments under the Jurisdiction OF
the United States Bureau Of Public
Roads.
Normal Procedure.
There has been no emergency Or
ganization created, but the normal
procedure of well-organized and effi-
cient State highway departments has
been called into action. This
means that highway appropriations
have been spent with the same
efficiency that has obtained In
normal times and the Government
and people have received the same
value Of the dollars that they received
in normal times and yet the highway
program has stood out as q favorable
solution of correcting the unemploy-
ment problem.
All Of these facts will be enlarged on
at the road builders convention and

these recurring deficits be paid for in the end?
 To these questions also MT. Roose- velt has addressed himself. His words presumably forecast for the first ime what the Democratic reply will oe in '36. Prosperity is to be hailed as definitely on the way A cut in ex- penditures is promised, and pledge given against increased taxation.
 This reply doubtless will be found highly encouraging by the Presi- dents friends, and rejected as unsat- izfactory by his opponents. What is clear thus far is the trend of the argument, not its results.
 Points To Be Clarified
 Of course much remains which is far from clear. MT. Roosevelt's first western speeches contained no dis eussion of the constitutional issue, and no mention of the repeated charges of the Republicans that his 1882 promises have been disregarded.
 When he spoke of power and of agriculture, he emphasized the ma- terial side of the picture, and en- tered into no debate on economics or constitutionality.
 These are phases of the campaign which may be expected to develop more slowly, on the Democratic side at least. That they will come proni- nently into the picture eventually no one doubts.
