Henderson County Man Pu Him self orr Record Against atebRtr7 Proposition to Change Pres . Vnt System of Electing Certain Officers. A Record-Breaking Meeting And Com (News and Observer.) To the Editor: The attitude of the re publican (contingent in the present ses sion of the general assembly, judging from the number of bill. they have in troduced containing the same ear-marks indicates lhat they are fearfully disturb ed on accouat f the election of justices of the peace and members of county ed ucational boards by the Legislature, but it is hooed that our Democratic Repre sentatives will not be disturbed. The hypocritical appeal for "local self gov ernment," as the radical machine is pleased to call it, is only a wall from the same source from which eminated slan derous charges against North Carolina's id educational system and the eminent director of the same during the last campaign. In that' malicious, and unjust attack the head of -the Republi can organisation in the State placed himself and hid party in direct opposi tion to the wise and progressive policies which have crowned the efforts of Sup erintendent Joyner with such bignal suc cess. This alone shows that a change would be unwise, for about twenty counties in the state could then be coun ted upon to elect as members of their educational boards men whose actions would be coutrolled either from Greens WAshinffton. instead of work ing in harmony with the administra tion in the State. The present admira ble system is making wonderful progress and there is no demand for a change, especially in my section of the State. Better let well enough alone. The control of the public school sys tem is now about all the Democrats in several counties in the West have lefj; and the taking away of that privilege would be a great disappointment to them. Under their control great strides hate been made aloBg educational lines and their work is in direct accord with that of the general system outlined by ' the State Board of Education, a condi tion very necessary to obtain the best re sults. The proposed change would ere-1 ate no little trouble and dissatisfaction in a number of the western counties po litically, besides placing the supervision of our school affairs in charge of indlf- The following interesting communi cation, dated, "Memphis, Tenn. Jan. 17, 1907." and addressed to Mr. M. L. Ship man, of the Hustler, has been received at this office; VMy dear friend:- Doubtless you will be surprised to hear from me to make the request 1 am going to make. We have a revival meeting going on in this city, conducted by the Rev. Geo. C. Cates, a Baptist evangelist of Louis ville, Ky. It ia a union meeting be tween the Baptist, Methodist and Pres byterian churches. This is the seventy seventh day and the end is not in eight. There have been over 2,000 conversions and each days work results in thirty or forty more.-330 last Sunday . He (Bro. Cates) asked that all the Christians write some fneud and ask a special prayer for this meeting, and you were the first friend who entered my mind. Will you make a request In your church, or to vour pastor and offer up a Bpecial prayer some time during Sunday's services for this meeting? The above is from a former friend and school-mate of Mr. Shlpman, but the hater being private, name is with held. Evangelist Cates is kindly re membered by Hendersonville's entire citizenship. He conducted a great re vival of religion at the Baptist church here during the autumn of 1905. the. like of which never before been exper ienced In this city, and our people will be glad to hear of his wonderful suc cess elsewhere, in winning souls for his master. About the City Jail. The .Board of Town Commissioners are considering the advisability of keeping the prisoners arrested by the city officers on the first floor of the city hall, instead of in the basement, where two iron cages are built to accommo. date tbem. The library, formerly en the ground floor, has been removed to the court house, upstairs. In reference to the contemplated change, Mr. MT. Justus, who superin tended the construction of the building, and who has been !more or less identi fied with it always, says Building Operations now Going on. . That Hendersonville is in a healthy condition is shown by the number . of new residences being built. All the contractors are busy. Building mater ial is coming in with less delay than HEAR.D ON X VV MAIN STREET THE ART OF TALKING. wk Good w. A. Garland tells this story. .

I have tried it and found it very ud. satisfactory. Downstairs, the prisoners, who are often unruly, noisy, and offen sive in many ways, are secure and the noise they make can . disturb no one. The windows in the fire department should be kept .open as much as possi ble, which would keep the cells dry. I think it a very suitable place for the men whom it is necessary to put there. On the other hand, if placed in one of the upper rooms, which face on W. A Smith's property, their often profane and abusive language may be heard plainly on the street. It is not right to damage Mr. Smiths property in any such way. And there are other rooms which it would be By Contractor McCreary: Six houses for Clauderown, at $1200 each; total, $7,200. W. D. Christie, residence, $2,000. Addition to Capt. Toms' residence on Main Street about $1,000. A glass con servatory will be built, also a tower, two porches and part of residence ex tended 20 feet. Improvements at the swimming pool, cost about $1,000 About 30 .more bath rooms will be built, the size of pool will be increased, seating arrangements for spectators, additional electric lights, etc.. Blue Ridge Inn improvements, cost about $2,000. 160 feet of cement side walk will be put down and in addition to the barber shop now being put In at the front end, a line of stores clear to the end of the building will be built in Thing- -That Are Essential to Conversationalist. . t To be a good conversationalist yon must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural, - syhipatfcpticr and must have a spirit of ; good will. You must feel a spirit of helpfulness and must enter heart and . soul into things which Interest, others. You must get the attention of people and hold it by interesting them, and ' you can only interest them by a warm sympathy a real, friendly sympathy. , If you are cold, distant and unsympa thetic you cannot get. their attention. To be a good conversationalist you must be broad, tolerant. A narrow, stingy soul never talks welL A man who Is always violating your sense of taste, of justice and of fairness never Interests you. You lock tight all the' approaches to your Inner self, every avenue Is closed to him, and when they v are closed your magnetism aruTyourr helpfulness are cut off, and the con versation is perfunctory, mechanical and without life or feeling. ' You must bring your listeners close to you, must open your heart wide and exhibit a broad, free nature and an open mind. You must be responsive, so that a listener will throw wide open every avenue of his nature and give other side. The man I engaged to take me across was a rather hard looking customer, and somehow or other I got the impression that he might be tempt ed to "hold me up" when in the middle of the lake. The place was surrounded bv heavy woods, a storm was coming up, and the sky was threatening. It would have been easy for him to knock me in the' head and dump me overboard and no one would have beenjthe wiser. I wished to show him 1 was armed. A flock of wild geese rose into the air,some distance to the left of us. Pointing to one slightly detached from the others, I asked my guide if he thought I could hit it at that distance, at the same time drawing a Smith and Wesson from my y0u free access to hi heart of hearts. oocket.
