After all the agitation upon the question of state prohibition by legislative enactment at the spec .iaT session of the General As sembly now in progress the posi tion of this newspaper has been sustained. The whole matter has been nne over thoroughly!

In our oninion. this is a wise con- oi.; anA i ,oVci.,tinn of a veH -nntion. It were better that prohibition should be obtain- ed instead of being imposed, The action of the democratic cau- cus of each house in deciding to submit the question to a vote of the eonle wa comnlete sur- prise -to the republicans who were preparing to play politics in the event of a decision adverse tn the consideration of a nrohibi- tbn measure at this session, or rather to enact no legislation oilier than the rate compromise if i-. ouuinea inioe uuyciuui a vi " i cl2matioh.calling the Legislature toether. - On the day previous to the as- semblingof the Legislature there a decided senti- menf favorable to accepting the terms tentatively agreed upon hetween Governor Glenn and the railroads, relative to the pas- the - scugeij an vuuu w accomplishment of this purpose to adjourn and pass no other laws.

The biU was prepared by Hon. Her- n.rVm. oresidentof the XlMt. State Anti-Saloon League, who was assisted by other temperance leaders and passed the Senate without a dissenting vote, every republican in thatody voting m the affirmative. It will be remembered that we took the position two weeks ago that the question of state prohi- bition had no logical standing in a special session of the Legisla ture, called for a specific purpose, and that in the regular session last winter it did not consider it, while proving that it favored temperance. We still believe it would have been a mistake to pass a prohibitory law at this time when the principle of tem perance is steadily gaining rfrrmnH. As the matter now stands the people will have an opportunity to express their wishes in the matter and we con fidently believe that the state will be carried for prohibition by In an overwneiming majur.iy the approaching contest, the sue cess of which means so much for the moral uplift of the state, this newspaper shall exert every in fluence in favorof prohibition, as it has always done Tn similar campaigns inlocal contests on tms question. The bill upon which the people are to express their opinion contains provisions very similar to the Watts and Ward laws, hence it will not be a difffi cult matter to understand the . L!L iLvr proposition upon wmuu to pass and it behooves every friend of temperance in the state to do all in his power to assist m obtaining a decisive majority. It is fortunate that the question of polities', has been eiiminsucu, which will enable democrats and republicans alike to stand should er to shoulder in the effort to rid North Carolina of the greatest curse which ever afflicted any 1 olcicc or rendition of men. Let us endeavor to make it unani- mous for this bill in Henderson county and show to the people of this good state that we are on the side of morality and progress "To your tents O Isreal.

I , 1 vantageous agreement uau oeen reached between the state and the railroads growing out of an oner proposed oy tne iaer. While, at this writing, the rate bill has not been enacted into law, the indications are that the recommendations of the Gover nor will be accepted and the fri French bug Ab hustle HENPfeftsbNVittfc matter adjusted in accordance therewith. It is believed by many of the best informed mem bers of the General Assembly that the basis of agreement out- lined by the Governor in his message is the best solution of the question. This provides that the railroads may charge two and , a half cents per mile for a single ticket and that they will standby the agreement to reduce inter state rates from three to two and a -half cents and sell mileage books at two and two and a quar ter cents, as heretofore suggest ed. There is some objection to the proposition to refer the mat ter of passenger rates to the Cor poration Commission at the end of twelve months in the event either party to the controversy should conclude that the settle ment of the matter had worked a hardship upon either. There seems to be a well defined senti ment f avv .rable to the idea of giv ing relief to short independent lines and the indications now are that thev will be - allowed to charge three cents per mile. The House Committee on Public Service ; Corporations made a lengthy report upon the rate controversy on Saturday in which the strong claim was pre sented that the present law was based upon the reported earn-, ings of the railroads themselves and with no idea of imposing a hardship upon them. In this re port the committee contends that the Legislature of 1907 was wise in its action in rate reduction and that the two and a quarter cent rate is not confiscatory. The Senate Committee agreed upon a bill that substantially carries out the Governor's recommend ation, although there are differ ences of opinion regarding some of the provisions and it seems i difficult matter to draft a meas ure that meets the approval of every member. However, this Legislature may be depended upon to consider the problem thoroughly and carefully and when its work shall have been finished we confidently believe that the same will meet the ap proval of the people of the state. All the members appear to want to do the right thing and there is little doubt that the matters in controversy will be amicably ad justed within the next few days Some neswspapers and indi viduals feign objection to the ac ceptance of that $17,500 the rail roads agreed to pay towards the expense incurred, by the state, in the railroad rate litigation, in the event Governor Glenn would call the General Assembly to gether for the purpose of adjust ing the matters in controversy. Ihe idea which first gained credence was to the effect that this money would go into the state treasury to pay the expense of the Legislature. This, the Governor states, is incorrect and we can see no valid reason for declining to ac cept it. It is said that the cost and attorney's fees in the casejwil exceed "the amount suggested and if the railroads have offered to ciip in" aua neip pay it, we are heartily in favor of letting them do it. Nothing wrong about that. Attorney General Gilmer wil not stand for re-election and the friends of his competent and de serving assistant, . Mr. Harden Clement, will urge the democratic state convention to nominate him for this position. Mr.-Clement has shown himself to be worthy, in ' eve ry way, ; to dischage ; the duties of this position and will doubtl ss have a strong following iu the convention. He is one of the most deserving young demo crats in the state. The Raleigh . correspondent of the Charlotte . Observer says that a large majority of the members of the Legislature have declared themselves iu favorof Hon. Locke Craig for governor. Also that the Buncombe statesmau is far iu the lead. If this be true.we may just as well get ready to address him "Governor Craig. Good R.oads. Editor Hustleb; ' It is generally admitted that good roads are essential to the prosperity of any farming community. ' This is especially true of Henderson county which depends upon it farming industry and upon its tourist business for its suppon. Good roads increase the value of the farmers labor. With good roads he can haul larger oads, quicker, easier, and at less ex pense, wet or ary weamer men maea no difference to him. " You can expect no great winter tou rist business here until you have good roads. This is one of the first oonsid erations for a successful resort. You have abundant material for making good roads. If the county and city authorities would co-operate in this important matter, get a stone crusher, and macadamize the leading roads oat of your town, you would do much to In' crease its popularity as a resort aud make a better market for the frrmer's produce. The chaingaog, whose labor is now largely wasted, could then be profitably employed. It were better to hare even one mile of GOOD road, than to have the labor of the cbaingang scattered, as i seems to me it Is at preseut. The roads at the present time are good, it is tru, but they have been in a disgraceful condition. The labor is here, The material . i here. With a stone crusher and the co-operation of city and county, there cmld be many miles of good roads, and at practically no heavier expense than the two communities already bear. VISITOR.
