Wasn't that a shame? What? Well, those Spartanburg boys were kind enough" to come away lip here to show us how to play ball, and the local boys were so voracious as to defeat them by the score of 7 to 1. They simply got down to busi ness and played ball. Harry did fine work and had good support behind him. The visitors could have done very well but they had a stunt crowd to go against. The scrub team here were tempted to play them today, but failed to do so.

SPARTANBURG Construct from Hender I Carolina, In ttie Mayor's Court The case of the State against Joseph Novich, charged with selling spirituous beverages, had a hearing in the Mayors court yesterday. Novich . was bound oyer to higher court, and gave a bond of $150 for his appearance. Attorney Rector appeared for the defendant. It will be remembered that Novich lately came here and op ened a cold drink stand in the same building that has been oc cupied by the pool room. He had on sale a drink by the ' name of Cubanade, which is advertised as the substitute for beer, con taining two per cent alcahol. The court held that amount of alcohol was sufficient to intoxi cate. Strange I Is it not passing strange that those people who are most ener getic in circulating the state ment that if the 3 proposed bond issue is carried on Saturday that "the whole town will have to pay for the work" are a few Main street property owners who have fought the sidewalks fpom the very incipiency first on ' the ground that the abutting pro perty owners were not able to pay for the work, and now on the ground that the town will have to bear fcthe expense. If their contention is true they would be the people most benefitted by th election being carried, as their property would be directly bene! fitted not at their individual ex pense but at the expense of the town. Let the Main street pro perty owners if they do actually believe that the town at large will have to. pay for the side walks when the bonds are voted come out and vote for the bonds and thereby let the whole people pay for the work which is to their direct benefit and profit Save 20 per cent on Your Taxes. Special privilege taxes are past (due. Better pay now and save trouble. And remember unless your water rent is paid by the 10th you lose 10 per cent. It's worth saving, these days. Another Opportunity The f ollowing f rom I Hon. W. A. Smith is of interest. Mr. Smith is ever on the alert to in crease the popularity of Hender sonville: ' 'As an item' of news will say that the Baptist Sunday School of Campobello will visit Hender sonville and hold their annual picnic at Laurel Park on July 8th. This will be another opportunity for Hendersonville to enlarge her acquaintance and enlarge her popularity. Yours truly. J W. A. Smith." Our Fine Streets. W. P. Whitmire, who is here . from Brevard says Henderson- ville has the prettiest sidewalks of any town in this section, his his own lovely little city not ex cepted. And still some of our I citizens oppose the proposition to complete the splendid ! work be-' gun several weeks ago. Re markable, isn't it? A Why not all pull together in the effort to TT I ' It ' ' " maKe iienaersonvuie even more beautiful than it is already? ' GOSSIP . Main street is' Atlantic Citys boardwalk reproduced on a smaller scale.' There's music and the crowds and the extreme ly pretty girls, the l fashionable and beautiful gowns, the noise and tne excitement Hender sonville's reputation is spreadnig each year, and each year the crowd of tourists increases. With over 40 deaths in less than two days in New York City. Hendersonville climate is certain ly "appreciated by these fortunate ones living here. It is an interesting fact that there are almost as many men served with ice cream, at the Justus Pharmacy during the day as there are women. There are, today, more big en terprises actually under way in Hendersonville, than in any town in the South. There's the Osceola Lake proposition. There's. Columbia Park. The $18,000 sidewalk improvement. There's building operations un surpassed anywhere. He needs be abold prophet who would pre- ; diet the future of Henderson ville the finest, resort town in the South. There were seven or eight of. them, young men and girls just that cute looking! My! -They all wore the same kind of big, high crowned straw hats, gaily decor ated with ribbons, and they car ried canes,,, and the young men looked real develish, you know, and made quite an impression on Main street pedestrians. Aw, -cut out the doctors and save your money. Now, there's F. S. Thomas, for instance. Everybody knows him. Last night the telephone rang in the office of this great home journal: ' Where's my Daily Hustler? I want it. See? J haven't had my supper yet and the Hustler's the only thing that gives me an ap petite. Send it right over, 'cause I'm waiting for my supper!" Mr. Thomas got it. Joe Hollingsworth, who works for Calhoun Wilkins is just the sassiest thing you ever saw! And such funny stories! My goodness, your just 'bliged to laugh when Joe really gets dbwn to business. Just now he is springing this one and its new, Joe says: "When is a door not a door?" And the answer is: "When it's a-jar!"A jar open, you know. Now, aint that the cutest thing you -ever heard? " . If you can find a town with more pretty girls in it than Hen dersonville has, wish you'd get right up now and speak out The town's just full of 'em! , The senatorial primary for Edneyville Precinct will be T held at Maxwell's store on July 11th 1 G.W. Lyda. Chairman. Is tiende rsonie A flap Station? Give us a bar of iron to . chew on! Arm us with repeating rifles and one of Bill Taf t's republican injunctions! We want b-l-o-o-d! Gallons of it and then - some! R-e-v-e-n-g-e must be ous! Tie us down with log chains before we do something real v devilish! Forget politics, bond issues and the baby! summon the lawyers for Hendersonville, .beautiful, beautiful Hendersonville has been insulted and Only an abject and grovelling apology from the Southern Railway may wipe out the deadly spot! What is? Tis this: J. D, Boyd ordered some flour from a Tennessee point. Back came a letter from the milling company stating that this beau tiful town, the finest resort in the south, was, according to their railroad tariff, a prepay point. That is that it was only a flag Station, like Zircohia, or Balfour for instance, having no station agent or other officials here. Now aren't they the mean old things? When there's Messrs. Fullbright, and Young, and Will iams, and Hutto, and hslf-a-doz- en others working at the station night and day. When hundreds of tourists get off the Southern's trains every day, and leav9 trunks piled as high as the station. And then to insinuate that Henderson ville is only a flag station! B-u-r-r-! Hold us! Tie us down! 'Tis too much too much to bear! .They Will Return : Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith, from Augusta, Ga. were married just one week ago, and have been spending their honeymoon at Mrs. Gover's. They are both in love-very much in love with Hendersonville, and will return next year for a longer visit CONFEDERATE RE-DHIOH. The following communication received by Judge GullickV will be of interest to all old Confeder ates in this county: ' ' ' 3 Winston-Salem, .N. C. Dear Comrade, We are now planning for the annual re-union of the Conf edar ate veterans which will be held in our city on the 19th anjl 20th of August ' We wish to know about the number of veterans who will attend the re-union, and request that you give us this . informa tion as ' soon as possible.

All day the roads leading to town were filled with people on foot, in wagons, and carriages, all bound for town, and the 'excessive ; downpour : in no wise seemed to dampen their enthusiasm. " Ihe parade of the Union Car penters, Local No.' 1492, and thb Union' stone masons, local No. 3, was one of the principal events of the day. The parade ended at Columbia Park where a big crowd was addressed by Mayor Schenck, McD. Ray, John L. Orr and H. S. Anderson. Mr. Anderson said, "The stranger on entering our ' city sees everything that indicates prosperity, and finds the best sidewalks of any city in the South. 99 At Laurel Park the crowd found plenty to amuse them. The Casino, under the able man agement of Chas. E. Hicks en tertained many hundreds. The dummy was crowded all day, and in spite of , the Wretched weather the crowd seemed to en joy the many attractions offered them. Some marvelous exhibi tions of skill were given, such as the high jump, walking a wire across the lake, &c, 'while the wrestling matches held the inter est of a large crowd. : AIM. Will Brooks, this city, was bad ly injured at Laurel Park, Sat urday, by the collapse of a, tem porary platform at the Casino.
