The convention made no mis take in nominating William Wal ton Kitchin for Governor. It is a great office the most jmportant and most honorable m the com monwealth. The Democratic party has contracted the habit of choosing for that position of lead ership only tried and true men of approved ability. Mr. Kitchin, though one of the youngest men named for Chief Executive, is no -m -m 1 ' 1 a t new man. ne nas naa twelve years experience in congress, where he demonstrated his, fit- ness ior nign puDiic service. Always in the minority, neither Mr. Kitchin nor any other Con gressman has been permitted to write laws or carry out any con structive policies. But he has khown by the measures he has dvocated that he is a man who knows what the true policies are hs welL as a man who attacks Wenched evilr- The duty of a pority Congressman is chiefly ns policies of the party in power d show the unjust effects of Sitchin, like Leader Williams DeArmond and other democrats in Congress, has been compelled chiefly to "cry aloud and spare not" against the policies of the iaepuDlican party tnat are con- rary to the welfare of all the ople.

It speaks well, it seems to me, for the bright future of this town, that men will forget their party affiliations when the good and welfare of Henderson ville is at stake. To those men and all others who voted the improvement bonds I am deeply grateful and I thank them from my heart I can only ask the Daily Hustler to express my appreciation and to say that, in common with the rest of the city administration, we have but one interest and one interest and one ambition to ad- vance the interests and growth of Henderson ville by every getimate means possible. le- HEIIDOlSOtlVILLE 8 ASHEVILLE 4 The Asheville ball team went away yesterday badly disappoint- ed in being defeated by the score of 8 to 4. They had an' idea that Hender-; sonville boys couldn't put up a ; good game but they went away ! knowing different and remarked that they thought our boys could handle Asheville Y. M. C. A. team. tfntil the sixth inning the game fwas close and very exciting, the visitors not having made the first I majority of the electoral vote base. In that inning they made j a score, and m the seventh they scored two runs, both being made on a costly error. The visitors could not f take a base on Waldrop's ball, but nine of our boys walked on bad balls. The locals got their blood heat ed in the last inning and scored four runs. Waldrop struck out seven boys; Chambers only five. The feature of the game was a three base hit by Roberts. The visitors claimed to be the second team of Asheville, but boys who know ' said they had collected the best boys they could find from Weaverville and other surrounding towns. , The visitors consisted of 11 boys and they made some changes in the field, following is the original line up and score by innings: .

I hereby announce myself as an independent candidate for the office of Registrer of Deeds for Henderson County, on the grounds that if elected I will fill the office for one-half the fees it now pays. W. C. Jordan. Unofficial returns from eleven precincts indicate that McD. Ray, - esq., of Henderson ville, carried the county in Saturday's primary, by a majority of forty- eight, over Mr. A. Cannon, of Horse Shoe A very small coun try vote was cast, the two Hen derson ville precincts polling with iiin twenty votes of. half the entire outlying precincts com bined. The farmers were evi dently too busy to take a hand in the contest and let the elec- tion go by default, Seven of the twelve country precincts, reporting, give Mr. Cannon thirty-three j majority, but not enough to overcome Mr. Ray's lead in the two Hender- son ville boxes. The vote at Flat Rock was: Ray, 7; Cannon, 4. Mr. Cannon carried Edneyville, Etowah, Horse Shoe, Clear Creek and Hooper's Creek, while the two remaining country precincts heard from, Bat Cave and Mills River, were carried by Mr. Ray, whose majority of the electoral vote in next Saturday's convention will probably be three or four, mighty close race, and if ; the country people had turned ont it might have been closer still. Five small precincts, Blue r k R. , RoVpn reeK, Oreen Kiver and Kaven Rock had sent no returns at this writing, Later: Rumor has it that Blue Ridge Mr Cannon most of the smaljvote cast therer while the few ballots deposited at Green River and Crab Creek were largely for Mr. Ray, who now claims from 1 1-2 to 2 1-2 ill Hotel For Wersonvill Hon. H. S. Anderson is having Elans drawn up by which he will uild a hotel containing about 150 rooms. The site has been selected on one of the hills in the Southern part of Columbia Park. ' He intends to begin the work by the first of August. He also has another 50 room house jn view to be built in the same park. Mr, Anderson is not able to say positively which structure will begin first, though if the hotel is started first the large house will not be undertaken this summer. Mr. Anderson says that the work in Columbia Park -will not cease until it becomes a beauti ful village, and for one to look over the place now and see the great improvements that" are made way he would feel sure that Mr. Anderson isbehind his word. Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Bunch, of Kan sas City, celebrated the tenth anniversary of their wedding yesterday, at Hotel Gates. It being their tin wedding, they ate.breakfast from tin plates, and the many presents given them were tin utensils of the kitchen. 1 They attended the ball game and their carriage, was decorated with tin ware. . They hurrahed and yelled, and my, what a. noise the tin pans made. ate CD. a A young men's republican club was organized last night. About 75 of thef aith met in the Masonic Hall. ChasV- French Toms was temporary Chairman. T. W. Val entine, temporary secretary. Mr. Toms said ther's going to be 1-0-0-0 majority in the county this fall! James Waldrop was elected permanent chairman and W. H. Harris permanent secretary. They will meet every two weeks until tne campaign opens, swnen, as Jim Waldrop very cleverly' said, ' Jthey will , meet all the time. ' ' An executive committee will be appointed later. , t About 100 names were enrolled. One man named Jack got up and wanted his name enrolled. TVas cheerfully done. Then he named so many other Jacksons that some wit suggested the club be named "The Jacksonian Rep ublican Club of Western North Carolina, United States of Amer ica. A flag will be bought and MarkJ Brown of Asheville wilf talk at the next meeting. W. C. Rector predictedtiajg-r-e-a-tb-i-g victory when the sere and yellow leaves begin to fall and when the Hon. John Grant is elected to Congress Lemonade and cigars were served Contributions and pledges of money from members were secured. Nottilpo But Money Mack Rhodes stood behind the iron grating at the First National this morn ipg. with a big pile of new national bank notes before him. The notes were in sheets of five, the denomination was expressed by- ten, so each piece of paper represented fifty plunks. Of course they have to be signed by the president and cashier of ! the bank before they are legal tender. These officials sign each one, really quite a task, and then the sheets are cut' up into single bills, a long, peculiar pair of scissors being used for that purpose. "Yes," said the genial cash ier, handling the money as in differently as tho' there wasn't nearly enough there to pay for the sidewalk bonds, "we got this from Washington this morning. The ladies prefer nice, clean bills you know, and this stack wont last long." County Convention. The democratic county con vention will be held next Satur urday for the purpose-)f can vassing the vote for Senator in the recent primary and to select Relegates to senatorial conven tion in Rutherf ordton on Tues day 21. All precinct delegates should come out They Do Not Loose Interest. It's a fact that visitors to this town are so favorably impressed with its advantages and the pub lic spirit of its people,, that they are very often anxious to help in a substantial manner. A case in point: A young lady and her mother spent a few weeks here recently. This morning an officer of one of our churches re ceived check for $250 for the church. She writes: "And I will also pay $10 for church expenses or the coming year. Someone said that 300 guests were expected at the Wheeler this week. If they come that will be a prevaling smile on Mr? Wheeler's face. At four o'clock the indiction are that the bond , issue for the cement walks has' been carried by an overwhelming majority. The attempt to make political capital at the expense of the f ut- the prosperity of Hendersonville seems to have beenta dismal fail ure. The people want progress and pavements and have so registered their will., The exact result will not be known until about seven o'clock tonmght, but as we go to press there seems to be no doubt but that the result has been favorable to the greatest improve ment ever made in Henderson ville. Saturday's Daily Hustler. At Hig Citizen! Bank. "My, how pretty everything is here! And see the floor isn't it just beautiful with all those little stones set in like that! I think its the prettiest bank al most I ever saw!
