Congressman W. T. Crawford and twO'government exptrts appointed by the United States Secretary of Agricul ture, will be at the court house nut Tuesday, October 8th. - One of tne experts will explain meth ods of making good road?, and fine stereopticon Tiews will illustrate differ ect roads before and after the improve ments. The other gentleman from Washing ton will give a short I talk on subjects of interest to Henderson county farmers which is bound to be instructive. One of the best known and most pre a. perous farmers of this section, referring to the above, said to The Hustler: "I shall certainly be on hand to hear and see what these men have to say, and I'm croing to bring my wife and children with me. I believe these pic tures will do more to awaken an inter est in good roads than a month of speech, miking, and , I want to get. my whole iamily interested in good roads, for I know just what they mean to the farm er. I don't know just what the agricul tural expert is going te talk about, but I'm ready to listen and learn and profit by what he has to say, although I know something about farming myself. "Yes, sir, we'll all be there, and Con gressman Crawford is certainly doing a good work in bringing these expert men here to Henderson ville where we may all have a chance to see and learn what the government knows about good soad." - . r : Court Week. "Twenty dollars and costs! . Stand aside, young man! Mr. Sheriff, call the next case. Witnesses not here, you say? Well, get them sir, get them im mediately! I'll put them in jail for con tempt of court! I'll teach witnesses in TO BE HERE OCTOBER 8TH J thla sta7 the building and not run. arona on the streets, uet your deputies out after them, sir at once! So it goes at the court house. Judge Peebles, bald and with a bristly white moustache, does not let things drag in his court. Were that habit to become fashionable much good coin of the realm would be saved the taxpayers. Most of the cases are for pistol toting and liquor selling, and it looks , as tho' Is the Present Road Law Entirely Satisfactory? Editor Hustler Is the present road law a good one? I am of the opinion that very much depends on the manner in which the road trustees and county supervisor attend to the duties enjoin ed upon them by the law. We of Hoop ers Creek have tried to carry out the law, to the letter, and find our roads so much improved thatthey 'don't look natural. We find it pays to have geod roads and by reports of our district supervi sors we also find that since May 1, 1807, we have given over 700 days' work on 55 miles of public roads. Will the brethern around the bor der please move up the good work? C. II. Fletcher. the chalnganj- might have several re cruits this fall. -The judge is determin ed to break up these habit, and the sentences imposed are such as to warn the evil disposed. , . ; There is an unusally large number of people present at thla court. It will hardly last two weeks at the rate sen tences are being passed. The Sheriff has a. bushel basket, more or less, of expensive revolvers taken from these hardened criminals, who feel they are real bad men , when so armed. None of the pistols" cost less than 49 cents and from that up to 41,79; Clingman King Killed Clingman King, colored, was killed by Deputy Sheriff Pink Case, at the South ern passenger station, Asheville, on Saturday nignt.- Ulnz hart been on the gang - in Bun combe and was wanted by the local au thorities for breaking, jail here.. . uasenaa his prisoner on the train when he broke away and ran. . He was not handcuffed, . :Case followed him closely and the scuffle? took place" but side the car. Durinr the fight the dep uty sheriff struck at the negro with his gun. , l he impact discharged the wea pon and the bullet entered just below the jaw and lodged in the top of the skull. Death was instantaneous. . Case was arrested, but Was released as soon as the coroner's jury returned their verdict, which was: VWe, the jury, find that Clingman King came to his death by a pistol shot accidentally fired while in the hands of Pink Case, while he was in the discharge of his official duty. We believe it to be a justimabie nomiciae ana we recom mend that he be discharged." Mr. Case keenly regrets the occur rence, iie nas often saia tnat ne wonia rather be killed than to kill. King was a burly, powerful man. who has had trouble in plenty with the au thorities, and was reckoned a desperate character. About forty Hendersonvllle people at tended the inqust on Sunday. Mr. Case returned home Monday, To Advertisers. You want results from your adver tising in The Hustler.' That's what you pay your money for.

"Parsifal'' at Asheville. A play as broad in its interests as humanity itself. Elaborate and spec tacular in production, weird in its por" trayal of the elemental passions, absorb ing as a dream of the highest good, yet keen and intense in its appeal to the in dividual; such la the description of the Wagner wonder drama which Asheville is to see in its new English dress at the Gran Opera House Oct. 5th. It is generally conceded to be a con dition of .dramatic art that human in terests must be paramount, and this con dition has been complied with the trans- ation of "Parsifal." Abstract ideas and poetic fancies are made real in the characters and experiences of living persons. The faith that good shall be the final goal of ill, forms the legend wrought out to certitude in the action of the play. The futility of low cun ning,craft, duplicity and aU the unlovely brood of the neither world, when oppos ed by the nobler intelligence which comprehends but disregards them all, is y demonstrated Jn this thrilling drama, which centers Around the personality of the son of many generations of soldier sires, whom his mother would have made a shepherd of but whom destiny made a king. ; There is sound philosopny and true art id the final description s of the personality of ParsifaL - A guileless fool in the eyes of the foolishnot by wrath, nor by cynicism. nor by cheap-worldly wisdom, but by pity enlightened. As a spectacle "Parsifal" is a tremen dous enterprise; the scenery is on a lav- . . - . ... 9 J - , isn scale ana? tne uiummauoiis ana elec tric, effects form a striking feature of the nroduction. An augmented orches tra of twenty musicians will render the amil-atirrinf? strains of Parsifal as an ftAcnmnantment to the wondrous text.

R. chian Interurban ; 1 It will give Henderson County a great trunk line, equal to the best in the United States, from the gram and coal fields of .the Northwest to the South Atlantic ports.. 5; . 2 It will be a 600 mile shorter route from the grain and coal fields to the Panama Canal than Galveston, Texas, which is the principal Gulf port, putting us in a most commanding position in regard to the trade of the Orient, making the towns on the line the most desirable for manufacturing plants tol meet the requirements of that trade. . . ' . 3 It will touch every important railroad system of the South, short circuit them for business to and from the important trade centers, bring to our doors the ad vantages of them all, yet belong to none of them. , , 4 There will be 33 miles of standard guage rail road in Henderson County, thereby doubling the present mileage, costing $660,000.00, the labor and material for . which 'will come from Henderson County, except the rails. This money will be handled by the banks of Hendersonville and paid to the-working men of Hender son uounty tor labor and to the farmers for their pro ducts and timber. ... . . ; - 5 The parties proposing to build the road have ample funds with which to complete it. 6 No . bonds are to be issued until the road is in operation, with a regular schedule of trains. : 7 The County's . stock will be secured by a First Mortgage Bond on i the Railroad which pays 5 per cent interest, the same rate that the County's Bonds draw, therefore the County cannot lose a cent. . , 8 The taxes the county will get from the railroad, at the lowest rate at which any road is assessed in the State, will be $2,820.60 every year. The interest on the bonds will only be $2,500, making a net gain to the county of $320.60 if we got no interest on Railroad bonds. 9 It will bring hundreds of thousands of dollars of outside capital and of people into this county which will be taxed, in addition to the railroad itself. 10 It will give us a competing line of railroad and thereby reduce our freight rates at least 10 per cent. It is estimated, by those in a position to know, that the people of this county pay at least $250,000 a year for freights. VA reduction of only 10 per , cent will make a saving of at least $25,000 a year. Who pays this freight and who is benefitted by reducing it? Every person who buys anything out of a store that Ss not raised in this county pays some of this freight money. Every person who sells a cabbage, or potatoes or apples, ortan bark, or pulp and acid wood, cord Wood or lumber, or anything to be shipped out of the county, pays a part of it. They are the people who will be benefitted. If you buy or sell anything you will be benefitted. 11 If we fail now, in all human probability WE will never have another chance to get a competing line, but will remain at the mercy of one road. 12 The construction of this road will fulfill the dream of a lifetime of the best business' men of Western North Carolina. IN CONCLUSION : ' The gain to the people will be immense. The risk nothing. The taxes will be reduced instead of ihcreasd. It will only cost you the effort of . coming to the polls on October 17uV to do yourself and your children and your county an incalculable good. Will you do it?

No Doubt as to the Bond Election The. railroad is certainly die one absorbing topic of discussion in Henderson county, just now. Nothing else is talked about; and the gradually awakening enthu siasm for the great project is really remarkable. r While there was never any doubt as to how the progressive and intelligent voters of the county would finally, settle the matter, ther has been some question as to the majority it would have inlts favor. Now it promises to be an over- Rattlers and Bears, Thirteen rattlesnakes in a pile and bears so big the dogs wont go into the thicket after 'em. ; f ; What do you think of that? Mr. S. J.

It is said when that bear stands at bay in the laurel thickets and says Grrrr the dogs are so frightened they just dont stop running until they get home again under the wood shed. This bear is said to be the largest ever known in tnat section, w men is noted for its wild game. .',' In Burke county Mr. Justice saw 13 rattlers in a heap, all of thm danger ous looking, altho' he did not stop to examine them yery carefully . and that Likes the Hustler M. 8. .Neal, Hendersonvllle, says he I likes the Hustler and would not do without it were the price $1.50 instead of 75 cents. .

Mr. Wilson believes that no man "who laughs well can be sick. The club will meet twice a week and will laugh for one hour at each meeting. HeHit It Right. A nervous looking man went into a store the other day and sat down for an hour or more, when a elerk - asked him if there was any thins: he could do for him. He said no, he didn't wish any thing. He went away and came back and sat an honr or longer, when - the proprietor went to him and asked If he wanted to be shown vany thing. "ro, said the nervous manV'I just wanted to sit around. My physician has recom mended quiet to me, and says above alj i things, I should avoid being in a crowd. Noticing you do not advertise in a newspaper, 1 thought this would be as quiet a place as 1 could find so I just dropped in for a few hours isolation."
