long known as one of the leading news

none of its prestige through the years since
Col Knox took over its management.
The capacity and qualifications OF Lam

President and Vice President are matters
which the millions of American voters Will
have ample opportunity to consider from
now until the November election. This
newspaper has no present intention OF 60

credit for doing a good job at the CleVe'
land convention in placing the party stand
ards IN the hands of such citizens as All
Landon and Frank Knox.
The fact that Landon and Knox are
business men will discredit them, as a mat
for Of course, in the estimation of some
citizens of the country. The fact that they
are plain. honest, self-made, successful
business men will place upon them the
brand of disapproval of certain people IN
this country. That view, however, Will
have little weight with fair minded Amerl-

and able men the credit they deserve.

TLEVELAND-As a freeborr
~ sucker with the proper rever-
ence for all institutions created by
professional politicians, it is per-
haps your duty to take political
conventions and their works quite
seriously.
Yet, if you stand off and look
at this Republican convention with
any pretense Of dispassionate OBJ
jectivity, you are likely to con-
clude that the Republicans should
adopt for their Cleveland theme
song that once famous chant Of
the late Bert Williams called
"Preposterous!"
Conventions often are like that.
In almost no time you will find
the Democrats going through the
motions of convention which
will be so cut-and-dried that no
delegate could be persuaded to
spend train fare for it except for
the promise of festive doingS,
plenty of food and drink, parades,
song and dancing in the streets.

TT is not in the nature Of things,
however, for the Democratic
convention this year to be as
screwy as the Republican.
The fight here over the consti-
tutional amendment issue has been
enough to prove that. Until the
convention eve it was automatic
in politics that the g. O. P. had a
foolproof issue in its grim stand
for preservation of the ConStitu-
ton and the power of the U. S.
Supreme Court from New Deal
tampering.
Every orator in the party beat
his breast and acclaimed that his
life blood must be taken before
anyone could cast shoots at those
great institutions and get away
with it. And this issue seemed q
popular one.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EDITION
GOES OVER IN BIG WAY

The Chamber of Commerce edltlOn Oh
The Times-News issued several weeks ago
WAS the seventh annual special edltlon
If this newspaper published in the effort
70 aid the Hendersonville organization IN
snreading information about the town ana
section and advertising this region to the
"outside world" The cumulative effects OF
these special publicity efforts are now be-
inc observed in the largest and most VIDE
spread reaction which has resulted IN seven
years.
More interest has been shown by people
in a wider area of the country IN TINS spe-
cial edition than has ever been Indicated IN
previous wears in a similar enterprise. Calls
have come from many sections OF the Unit
ed States for copies of the Chamber OF
Commerce edition. These calls have been
received from the Pacific coast country to
New England. They have been received
from newspapers and from business con-
Germs and from individuals. We are speak
ing now of requests for copies of the edl-
ton which have been received by The
Times-News. Several thousand copies OF
the edition are also being distributed by
the Chamber of Commerce.
Typical of the opinions freely voiced IN
approval of this edition is paragraph we
quote from a letter received from an eX-
ecutive of The Register and Tribune OF
DeS Moines, Iowa, who says:
"Allow me to compliment you upon the
publication of your recent tabloid. 1t was
a splendid job and some one deserves a
great deal of credit
This gentleman writes for additional
copies of the paper.
The Times-News quotes the above and
refers to the reception given this special
effort to advertise the town and section has
been successful. On the whole it is unques-
tionably the most efficient and least costly
effort at community advertising that has
been made by the Chamber of Commerce
The comparatively small cost to the organ,
ization and to the citizens who co.operated
with The Times-News is to be emphasized
This newspaper made no effort whatever
to publish the special edition for profit
and no profit was realized on the enter
prise.
The Times-News congratulates Hender
sOnville and the surrounding country OF
having in circulation for the next year o.
two, through the Chamber of Commerce
this piece of advertising literature; ane
this not primarily because it bears tn
name of this newspaper, but for the sub
stantial reasons which are being translated
into countrywide response to this effort t.
make this section of Western North Caro-
lima known to the people of the United
States.

ASSISTANT COUNTY
AGENT BEGINS DUTY
M. Edmond Aycock To Di-
rect Soil Erosion and All
Club Activities

NJ Edmond Aycock native of Pike
vile, Wayne county, today began his
duties as assistant county farm agent
of Vance county under provision re-
Gently made by the Vance Board Of
County Commissioners for the office.
Mr. Aycock will devote the major
portion of his time to directing the
soil erosion program in the county
and girls, it was stated by j. w.
Sanders, county agent, in whose office
he will work.
Mr. Aycock is a graduate of N c.
State College in the class of 1886.
While in college he majored in agri-
cultural engineering, with emphasis
on soil erosion work.
The commissioners several weeks
ago agreed to underwrite for farmers
of the county the purchase of a ma
chine to be used in terracing in con-
nection with the erosion control I'M
dertaking. The machine costs some
thing in excess of $4,000. Those who
use it on their farms will pay for the
the time and that fund will go into
the liquidation of the purchase price
of the machine. The new assistant
agent will devote much of his time
to the handling of this machine and
its work. 1t has not yet been shipped
here, but is expected to be in the
county and ready for use by the end
of this month.

his right leg believed by his father to

The small child complained of his
leg ailing him last Saturday week
ago, and continued to grow worse. He
was taken to the hospital for treat
ment, and a number of specialists
have been called in to treat the little
boy, and Mr.. Perry stated today that
it seemed favorable that the little
fellow will pull through without the
loss of his eg. It was at first thought
an amputation would be necessary.

BY w. A. HUNT,
President, Citizens Bank & Trust
Company.

Every visitor sees Henderson's
stores and likes them. Their standards
of service, like their stocks of mer-
chandise, compare favora,bly with
those usually to be found only in
much larger communities. Their i'm
portance, as advertisements for the
city, is not easily over-estimated.
Henderson's stores normally serve
some fifty thousand people but their
opportunity is greater than their
trade. The city's tobacco warehouses
attract growers from an area with
thirty-mile radius-and there are
more than 10000 potential CUSTOM
ers in this territory. We have a right
to hope for a growing proportion
of the retail trade Of all this section.
Our six tobacco sales warehouses,
our two big cotton gins and our i'm
portant cotton manufactures should
make possible much larger dealings
in both these money crops.
Last year our auction floors handled
25,O00,OO0 pounds of tobacco, but at
least 100000 pounds which might
have been handled here went to other
markets. Our textile mills consumed
about 10000 bales of cotton, but only
half that amount was purchased here
at home.

City Tax Rate Fixed At 81 rs. Budget $183. Coz :;
Henderson Has Big Chance
To Expand Retail Business.
W. A. Hunt, Banker Asserts

The greatness of our opportunity
should be sufficiently apparent.
Henderson's year-round prosperity
depends upon it's trade, upon the
volume of business which it is able
to attract from the coontry round
about. Our industries are important
and their pay rolls and profits con-
tribute increasingly to the general
welfare. The volume of our manufac-
lures does not, however, approach the
volume of our trade, and is not likely
to do so for ny years to come.
Under the circumstances, the
easiest and surest way to build Hen
derson is to build it's retail business.
to get our neighbors into the habit
of driving into Henderson to shop. If
they sell their tobacco and cotton
here we know they are more likely
to come again and again.
Better roads, improved parking ia
cilities and considerate handling of
traffic will all help in this but the
attitude of the Henderson public is
still more important. If Henderson is
to profit to the full, not just in these
next months but also in the months
and years to follow, if it's advantages
is location, in ready accessibility and
in the wealth of its trade territory
are to count for the most, it must
build good will as patiently as any
merchant, and to precisely the same
end.
