Day and Heavy Vote Thursday was an ideal election day, warm and bright, with not a clood In the azure sky. The sun seemed to shine with even more than its accustemed warmth, and altogether it was a perfect Western North Carolina day, and you know what that means. ' it The polls opened bright and early, altho' there was some little delay at the courthouse. Soon in the morning the workers gathered at the voting places and many rotes were cast before ten o'clock. Up to three ooclock there had been 110 votes cast for bonds, and 2 against at the E. Hendersonville Precinct. At the W. Hendersonville Precinct the score: was 177 for and 0 against. ' There was much interest taken in the town. Many of the best known men of Henderson ville devoted their entire time to getting out the voters. There were absolutely no disturbances of any kind during the day. About 487 votes had been cast before 12 o'clock. Scared. Carl Alexander Mobile Vanderbilt Jones is seven years old, has helped to make a good crop this summer, bat is not familiar with railroads. With his mother he came to town on election day, and stopped outside the Henderspnville Wholesale Grocery Co. He was aw fully afraid of the engine which he saw standing near him, altho' Mr. A. W. Calhoun assured him it would not hurt him. Just as Mr. Calhoun finished as suring him, the engine began to blow off steam, its whistle shrieked and the monstrous wheels began grinding as it started to back. With a cry of abso ute and utter consternation, the boy threw open his mother's coat and buried his face on her breast, crying and sob bing as though his heart would break and as hismotber whipped up her horse and drove on the last seen of Carl Alex ander Mobile Vanderbilt Jones was a huddled and frightened7 heap on his mother's lap. . He had never before seen a railroad train, although he lives near town. The Meetings on Wednesday. There were two railroad meetings on Wednesday, one at noon, and the other at night. Col. 8.. A. Jones made the principal address at both. ' He held the closest attention of the large audience to the end of his speeches. " Col. Jones is a gifted talker. His address was logical,convincing, interest" ing, Different points were illustrated by apt stories, and there is now today a clearer understanding amongst our" cit izens of what this new railroad means, than ever before. Lack of space prohibits the repro duction of his talks, but they were ; fine. The band was out for the night meet ing, they played "Dixie.'? The crowd went wild,and almost raised the roof r of the court house. Both meetings were well attended 500 otes in foinsh. 1 Election Notes. Twas a glorious victory. It ill accords with our well know shrinking modesty, but we wish to say clearly and distinctly, that The Hustle helped done It. .

If you listen right closely you can al most hear the rumble of the first train over the Appalachian Interurban Kail road. ' If Henderson can do so well, what will Buncombe, Polk and Haywood do? Well, what do you think about it? Qne man in town is quoted as sayin, "No, I wont vote the bonds, and I won ride on their old railroad if its built I'll walk, and they wont get any of my monevF' "Put Him Under the Floor." One of the funny Incidents of the day In Hendersonville was when a certain prominent Republican official asked a well kpown .merchant to vote for the bonds.' . Now,' let it be known that -the aforesaid merchant thinks his properbpids is assessed too high, and blames the prominent Republican official for it, so when he atked him to vote a little more tax the suggestion was not taken kindlv. and he absolutelv refused. A11T sorts of arguments were useless, until a well known State official, who has been putting m some very enective worn: ior the road, came along. He talked to the 1":" vote the ticket.,r No sooner were tfetSy dOlbt QS to tno result. words said than the State official caught the offending assessor by the arm and dragged him under the floor of JacksonL Staoie, wnue me mercnanb raarcaeu up and deposited his ballot for progress and prosperity. This is one way of getting votes lfcrJe voters Of O.H Other COUntlOS to follow. "putting men under the floor." The following is the votes from the different precincts, so far as it was pos sible to get them up to 4 o'clock on Thursday.
