Varner was elected first vice-president of the Na tional Editorial Association at Indian apolis. Since 1899 Mr. Varner has at tended the meetings of the association and during the past seven years has held successively the offices of national com mitteeman from this state, and of third and second vice-president. The as sociation is this week taking an outing-, after the work of the meeting, and the trip will last several days yet. On yesterday Mr. II. B. Varner, editor of the Lexington Dispatch, was elected first vice-president of the Na tional Editorial Association at its meet ing in Indianapolis. Mr. Varner has just closed a term as second vica-presi-dent and his election to this new posi tion of honor speaks well of his entire fitness and faithfulness. Mr. Varner has held other offices in the Association and always with credit to himself and the Association. We congratulate our brother heartily upon his success. Charlotte News.

Justus' Pharmacy. Homes In Hendersonville. In his speech accepting the nomina tion for Congress in the eighth district Mr. R. N. Hackett delivered an exceed ingly warm talk before the States ville convention. He started off by saying that for the first time in his life . he felt the poverty of language, and then there followed such a burst as to make one wonder what he would have said if he hadn't felt any poverty of language, In paying his respects to E. Spencer Black burn, he said: "Spencer Blackburn is an ideal republican representative who has done many things lately to frighten his constituency in his district. Strive with me, toil with me, that we may achieve victory in behalf of honesty and uprightness. The name o'f Black burnltself is indicative of what the man is. The first syllable 'Black, represents the character in this world of the present representative of the eigth district. The last syllable 'burn,' represents what his condition will be in the next world. Some of his one time friends, are wearing stripes in the Atlanta prison as a result of Blackburn's campaign methods. Our fight ii a fight of decency, and purity of government arrayed against every influence which seeks to sink it into the cess pool of deception and graft. I will go to con gress just as sure as the sun bets and I'll strive to meet every questiou with out fear or bias. ; v ''Spencer Blackburn has climbed to the topmost round of the Congressional ladder by his methods of impurity, and would sacrifice Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver; he has already stabbed in the back his best friends. But while he is on the topmost round, he will fall next November, and his fall then will be the Greensboro. North Carolina, July 4. : . The resolution offered by Mr. A. L.

' The Florida Press association spent a very charming day at Hendersonville Monday, June 4, and never before hate they received a more cordial nor dt ightful welcome. The people of hat beautiful little city nominated is remembered, Aycock in his speech, said it was a ."testi monial of the peace and good order in the. state and of the want of any apprehension on the part of the people of any danger to adopted The convention, however, was ; small only when the unfair comparison is made with that which carae iu response to a heated campaign over the Gubernatorial nomination two years ago. Its personnel was of the highest. The men who com posed the delegations were the solid men aSe, saying ne was a Bryan man but dkn't believe in making a contract two years ahead of time. During the course of the debate Mr. E. F. Aydlett, (who op posed consideration ODly because he said thought it was premature to discuss presi dential candidates two vears in advan of their sections as a rule, the leaders iu understood Mr. Brooks to say the resolu business and in the professions and of that tion merelv expressed our hie nnininn nf The Hotel Gates at Hendersonville has recently issued a booklet contain ing a number of. attractive views of the hotel, and places of interest around Hendersonville.

Just as the more elegant re fiuements of feeling and sentiment' :are dwarfed by hard conditions ot poverty, so did - the execution of the more humane ideals which had their germ in the hearts of the people necessarily wait upon the is sue of 1 900 to find their more perfect ex pression.

"Suddenly m the corner of the rear gallery, Mr. W.

A.Peking correspoudent says: "It is no uncommon sight to see-twelve or thirteen enormous fat pigs, with their legs tied, huddled close together having a ride in a Chinese cart with some sort of liht caro on top of them and a man sitting oa the cargo. The pigs are silent, and consequently one would think they should hot be objects tor the action of the Society For the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals.

A writer in the Charlotte Observer says it is a well known fact that an Irishman and an Englishman haven't much love for odo another, and many quarrels are naturally in evidence. The following is a proof of it, and brings to the front an Irishman's wit: f n a prominent mill city, a mill owner was anxious for his employes to vote a certain ticket. The majority of them did not understand the voting system, being from rural districts, and were at a loss to understand it. However, the mill man gained the Irishman's vote in short order. "Pat," says he, "which way . are you going to vote, republican or democrat?' "Faith," says Pat, "how do I know sented Here. The highly amusing comic opera "Isabella, or 1492" is to be presented by local talent at the town hall, Friday night, July 20th. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the Hospital As sociation.

Ouida Tyler, who will have complete charge of the performance here, we may expect an extremely fine production. Admission will be 50c, 35c, and 25c, and as before stated, will be for the benefit of the Hospital Association. ! trust. His clothes were overlaid with a greasy mold.

Wall has just erected a hand some new building in Edney ville Town ship, on the Hickory Nut Gap road. The building Is of ten rooms, very "conven ient in arrangement, and is situated just one mile from the famous Hickory Nut Gap. Mr. Wall .will open the place on July 10th, as a modern country board ing house, and will furnish ample ac commodations in table service and in other ways. Anyone wishing an ideal place in which to spend a few weeks neck and stood eff from his ears Ike a wick that has been dipped in tallow. His face was mottled in varying shades of black and brown and yellow. His hands were caked with crriine and his fingers seemed ready to drip filth. His beard, that might have held the secrets of the jungle, trained a mouth that was like a black hole exuding rivulets of nicotine. The whole figure seemed oppressed and crushed under a weight of diit. The eyes were like dull bubbles on a stagnant poo 1 the whole picture was one of misery "and squalor. So impressed was the gentleman that he stopped and spoke to the mau : "How old are you?" he asked. "Thirty years," replied the individual. 'Ob, no!" exclaimed the gentleman in credulously, 'ftell me how old you are!" The man insisted that he was thirty years old. The gentleman insisted to the con trary. The man protested. Finally the gentleman said: "Oh, well, if you won't tell, I can't know. But I know that you are more than Jhirty years' old. You'll never see fifty again. It's impossible. It's against nature! No man could get as dirty as you are in thirty 'years," year has declared for Bryan. As Will Kitchin said: "You cannot declare too often for Bryan." If the North Carolina six years convention had not passed the resolution, it would have been construed that the first state that .favored hjn. in 1896 was not jealous for him now that the whole coun try was turning to . him. It would have beep fiue if every delegate had favored act ing now and had voted for the resolutions, but those who favored them opposed any cutting off debate and stood for the roll- cau so that every delegate could record his vote as he pleased. That's what I like about democratic eonyentions. The dgle gates disagree and talk it out, but no min ority Is denied the right to be heard and to have its position made plain. But it was clear that the convention was overwhelm- 1 T. T" a a 1 .m ijr mi iryan anu AycocK, ana tne peo ple at home are even stronger for them than the vote here would indicate. J. D.

This means that the auditorium ' will be completed and ready for occupancy by ihe I5th of August. A brief description of the building itself will "be of ' interest. It will be 85x115 feet, weather-boarded, hip roof, The casement windows will be 10x4 feet each, there will be four big ventilators in the roof, which with the large windows will insure a - supply of fresh air at all times. There will be 1500 chairs, the platform at one end will be raised," and the big building will be lighted by aro lights. The Chautauqua will last, this year, for two weeks.
