Mr. Yarner Will Not be a Candi date For Re-election and Edi tor; Shipman Will Ask For Nomination. Mr. M. Li. Shipman, assistant com missioner of labor and printing; who has been intending to go as private sec .retarywith Congressman Crawford to Wathiigton when Congress opens in ; December, decides not to leave the ser vice of the state. He was asked the ., pointed question yesterday and replied that while Washington life might be very pleasant and profitable in many ,. ways that he had decided to remain in Raleigh and continue his work with the department of labor and printing, with which he has become thoroughly familiar.- He says he enjoys living in Ral eigh and likes the work of the depart ment with which he has been connected '' for nearly three years now. Mr. Ship man moved his family to this city about . two years ago and has been devoting his entire time to the duties of the posi tion he holds. The report that Mr. Shipman expects to be a candidate before the next Demo cratic State Convention . for Conimis. sioner Varner's place (that gentleman having determined not to stand for re election, was confirmed. When ques- tioned concerning his iutentions in this regard Mr. Shipman said he would be in the race at the proper time, but did not approve the, idea of annoying the people with hi candidacy so long before time for the convention to be held. He says the Democratic party is aware of the services rendered it by him in the past and if the decision should be reach ed that he was entitled to recognition at its hafcds, well ind good. He turther suggested that his record at an officer of the state go?eoment is an open book and feels confident that he could make good at the head of the depart ment, otherwise he should not con sent to the use of his name in connec tion with the position of commissioner. Mr. Shipman insists that the old sterotyped expression most candidates for office employ about being 4in the hands of their friends," may truthfully apply in bis case, as the proposition for him to become a candidate really did originate with friends and without hi8 knowledge of their intentions. He ad heres to the opinion that a newspaper man ought to have the place and jocu larly remarked that this would be about all they could expect to get out of the "shuffle." The custom has been to se lect an editor for coaimissiouer since , the supervision of the public printing was placed with the department in 1899 and the friends of Mr. Shipman think ' him capable of filling the bill with To the Citizens of Heridersonvil 1 We wish to state we have started up the Purity Ice and Laundry Plant. We will dis tribute our own ice and from this date operate the Laundry the year round. We will com pete in any prices, made and propose to give our -patrons a square deal. ; , J. B. Scawell & Son GAND pate: GOMMI credit to himself, his party and the state. He says that while he will ap preciate anything friends may feel dis posed to say or do in his interest, he shall not impose upon them "with a song and daoje" concerning his availability to secure the place or the ability to - fil it. News and Observer. A Suggestion as to Taxis. I note in your issue of the 15th yon say, in reference to taxes; that all prop erty owners ought to receiveequal con sideration, that is; each taxed upon a just and equitable assessment of his holdings. This is true, but you omit the remedy, which I herewith submit - The'only fair way to arrive at what is equitable and just, is to publish openly a list of all such property (I allude ; to real estate only,) showing the acreage (total.) the estimated value of lands and buildings separately, and the aggregate tax on such holdings for the year. We. can only arrive at a reasonable es timate of what our own assessment,' should be, by comparing if with .what our neighbors have to pay; and most of us can make a pretty close guess at the relative value of at least adjacent prop erty. It would only confuse, matters to in clude taxes (if any ) on personal property, investments, and the like, as they come under a very different head, as we can not, as a rule, even as to our neares neighbors, ascertain at all closely wha( they really possess in such a shape. Therefore, I claim, such - published tax list should be confined to real estate lands, buildings,, and the like; or in any case if other taxes levied and listed, the above two items classed and recorded separetly. As 1 am not a resident, nor a capitalist, but only a land bolder in your county, in saying this,"! am not in fluenced by selfish motives, It may be claimed that one can now always ascertain tluir data, by . appli cation to the proper authorities;-' but even assuming that these never disposed to misrepresent faots, and always anx ious to give such information, to that very large majority of our citizens who do not live in or very near the town, such researches cost time and therefore money. Besides, if all interested in the se matters as tax-payers should in sist on examining the records, it would put the '"proper, authorities" to much loss of valuable time-if not of-patience-If however, these lists of real estate taxes, published in each of the county newspapers (just as lists of delinquents.) not only would it simplify matters, and save time to both the tax-payers and the tax-officers, but it would proven1 any possible misrepresentations; and even ensure the discovery and correction of unintentional errors; as it is safe to say, nearly every tax-payer would sooner or later closely scrutinize this tax list. Few men, I think, are disposed to escape a fair and equitable tax; that is if he knew he was paying in proportion what his neighbors did; but-if even suspect ing that he was being unfairly treated, he would naturally employ every, possi ble means to escape any imposition. It is difficult to make even ah honest man believe that there is any dishonesty in getting the best of an Official Brigand. ; - Yours very truly, , A. M. HUGER NEWS OF THE TOWN Mr. and Mrs. YV. P. Laue have re turned front their trip to Texas, are now at home near Hendersonville. Mrs. Lane had an exceptionally enjoyable trip and is favorably impressed with the Lone Star State, which for thirty years was the home of Mr. Lane. -. The weather reports f rp n the North indicate what Hendersonville has been spared. Nothing but bright sunshine and clear, bracing air here, against snow and ice and storms 'most every where else. . " J. B: Seawell, of the Purity Ice Plant, requests that housekeepers leave the tickets for ice with the servants, each day, as otherwise the drivers are some times obliged to wait twenty minutes or more. .

'.Tithing: If half the stories y'ou'hear about stjc: cessful fihlng.ln the streams oeur Hen dersonville are true the town should b'e advertised as a Fisherman's Paradise,1 where all disciples of Izack Walton may come with a reasonable prospect of hay ing good luck. But as a matter of fact there are localities which are widely advertised in Field and Stream aad similar publications, which cannot . be compared with Henderson county, when it comes to "ehowing actual . results. Losk at Toxaway . Advertised all over he world as the fishing place par ex cellence of Western -North. "Carolina. Whoever heard of strings being caught there to compare with the results of a days sport by W. H. Justus or: E. ;W. Ewbank? Not to mention Hal Blpley.' Yet the fishing at Toxaway Is fine and of course widely advertised, .Hender sonville has an excellent attraction , in the really suberb fishing in th nearby streams, and its a pity it cannot be.propV erly advertised to the world. m ' -- A Serious Condition of Affairs - in the County; " There have been no marriage licenses issued in Henderson County during the past 3 weeks.

People are sometimes-afraid of skating rinks. No expense has been spared , in the construction of this building, which approximates a total cost of over $6,000. Its massive foundation, Its gieat trussed roof gives one an idea of solidity and strength which a closer inspection fully bears out.

You can't keep a good town down, it's always doing something or other to attract attention. Hendsr sonville is. well known, and now it may become known as the town of flyless stores and homes. . This is" all due to Mr. Ij. W. Walker the genial proprietor of the Crescent Carbdnating Company and of the only, bill boards in town,, who is about to pat ent an idea to keep the pesky flies out of stores and residences. Mr. Walker does not say what disposition he will maee of them then, but if they congre grate on the sidewalks and obstruct the highways, or commit an assault upon an innocent citizen it has been suggested that the new police officers will prompt ly run them in and keep them in con finement until the next train is due for Asheville. Mr. Walke-'s idea, or inspi ration, if you please', and 'which he has carried out at his store hear -the depot is this: to take out the panes jof glass in his store front, cut off about gn inch at the top, and then replace it, 'leaving gap, through which, according to Mr. Walker, the flies will . invariably crawl up the side And then fly through and away. An interested crowd watched the free performance the other day, and sure enough the flies crawled up the pane of glass, jumped through the open ing and then made, a bee line for Doc Hyder's store, further down the street. Mr.- Walker made this most interesting discovery in natural hibtory through close olservation and study of the habits of the fly, and he is now considering pat enting the idea. Numerous applications for stock in the company to exploit It have been made, and, the enthusiastic and sanguine inventor draws a mot en-, trancing picture of the future of Hen-' dersonville.with not a fly in any home or store, but all congregated upon the street, where they may be properly handled by the town authorities as pub lic nuisances. v ... .
