Asheville is nothing in size to
the number of people seen on
Main street in Hendersonville.
Futhermore, Asheville is not en
joying the number of visitors
that was there last August. When
we closely observe the attractions
of our city and those of Asheville
we can easily account' for the
difference They boast of the
greatness of their town, but
from all appearances they, are
doing nothing to entertain their
visitors. I -
They have a little attraction at
only one theater, a little at the
skating rink, and a little at River
side Park, and tljere these
amusements are only at night.
The writer met a citizen of
Waynesville in Asheville and he
instantly remarked about the ac
tivity of this city, its conference
horse show, chautauqua and other
good things that go to make
the progressiveness of Hender
sonville the greatest resort in
the South.
Ex-Sheriff J. Williams has
completed his new road to Ghim-
Rock. His new road is a
tittle more than two miles in
kngth and Mr. Williams says it
braces some of the finest
scenery in the state. A driver
go now direct to Chimney
Kck by the way yt' Salola Inn,
tare there is now a great
dumber of visitors. . r
Mrs.' Flawm and Miss Levy, (5fl
' Georgetown, . C. and Mr. Hab-
-ernaicht, of Columbia, had a nar-
row escape from serious injury
yesterday when ' they . were
thrown from a carriage. The
Worses were irightened aan
automobile and reared up and at
the same time made a short turn,
which wrenched one - carriage
wheel into splinters and threw
the occupants out. -
. ine acciaent was at corner ot
Aspen and Main streets. Mrs.
-Flawm ran against the high cur
bing and hurt herself while her
baby was thrown' from her arms
and bruised considerably. Inj
uries were not serious. "Tuesday

Democrats In
flame Strong Ticket.
A Hustler representative, who
made a brief visit to Waynes
ville the first of this week, says
the democrats of Haywood are
in fine shape and confidently ex
pect to increase their handsome
majority of two years ago. The
convention for the nomination of
county candidates was held on
Monday and a strong ticket put
. , , T, . n ,
m the field. It is composed of
the following named gentlemen:
Representative H. R.- Fergu
son.
Sheriff W. R. Medford.

f eeling prevailed and republicans
who came out Monday to witness
a lively scrap (with possibly a
split) in the party went away
shaking their heads. "Leading
Haywood this year will exceed
goo. "
A Rumor.
It has been , rumored, how
correctly we do not pretend to
state, but it is current talk, altho
efforts to trace the talk to it's
source have failed, even tho'
the Daily Hustler has 'steen of
its bright, young men tracing it
up, and most every woman in
town is talking about it, so what
harm can there be in the Daily
Hustler repeating it, even if it
is conversant with the lays of
libe but it is whispered by peo
ple in dark corners whose faces
pale at the terrible news they
repeat below their breath, that
Hendersonville has a GREAT
BIG CROWD this season, "three
times as many people as any other
town in the mountains!
But for goodness' sake don't
say anthing about it, you know.
It wouldn't do!

Mr. John L. Orr has sold to
Mr. William Lott, of Mississippi,
that fine property on the Flat
Rock road, "Rosedale Home,"
possibly better known as the B.
F. Posey place.
Mr. Lott lis one of the ' best
knowrr men of that far state, ana
Hendersonville is to be congrat
ulated upon the fact that this
city is to, be his future home,
and Mr. Orr is to be congratulat
ed upon his success in locating
here a gentleman- of the stand
ing and high character possess
ed by Mr. , Lott.
He has a very beautiful place
in "Rosedale Home," and Mr.
Lott thinks this a very beautiful
country and is well satisfied to
think that a part, at least, of each
year will be spent here in the
future. j
First Bale NoitiP
. Carolina Cotton.
G. A. Martin, with his wife,
are guests of Mrs. Osteen, at the
"Chicken House." Mr. Martin
is from Morven, N. C, where the
first bale, of new cotton sold in
this state this year was marketed
yesterday, at 11 1-2 cents, and
was bought by T. V. Hardison,
who spent last week in Hender
sonville. Mr. Martin says the
finest corn he's seen in this state
is on Major Barker's farm here.
Mr. Martin ' is very favorably
impressed with Hendersonville,
it's scenery, it's people, and the
excellent fare at his present
boarding house.
The Chautauqua.
James Hunt Cook, the platform
manager of the Chautauqua
which opens Aug. 19, is secretary
of the cotton exchange at Vicks
burg, Miss. Affable, blight and
pleasing, this young Southerner
has won for himself a great name.
He will be in charge of all the
detail work of the Chautauqua
hereand wiH also present one or
two of his very delightful lectures
at Hotel Gates.
The dramatic. and musical reci
tal given last night at Hotel Gates
by Mrs. Hardin Burnley, of New
York, was a decided success in
its excellent program and the
manner in which it was render
ed, but the attendance was not
very gratifying. Those who at
tended were well pleased at the
entire performance, and speak
most complimentary of her child
impersonations. The comedy
and tragedy , acts, and herdialect
studies were excellent, being the
exact talk of the negro. Satur
day Daily.
Walked On By Mole.
Mrs. Eb. Drake stood behind
her buggy, yesterday, on Main
street. The mule hitched to the
buggy became frightened and
backed over Mrs .Drake, knock
ing her down, stepping on her.
Besides a- few bruises she was
unhurt and was able to return to
her home. Saturday's Daily.
Recital
W. A. Smith, president of the
Appalachian Interuban Railroad
Company,- says that he has most
encouraging hews from New
York looking to the closing of
the contracts for the construction
of that great railroad, which
would mean so much to this part
of the State.
Potato For A PenWIper.
It's funny how the minds of
men get fastened to a certain
idea, or vegetable, and can'ti
leave it, even: when their prof ess
ion or occupation changes.
There's fcashier C. E. Brooks
of the Citizens Bank for instance.
He's an expert on peaches and
potatoes. He ought to be, by this
time. He's pt a great big Irish
tuber on that little marble slab in
the bank where he rings the
silver dollars to see if they are
counterfeit and he uses the po
tato for a pen wiper. You can
generally see a varied assort
ment of pens sticking upright in
it, and Mr. Brooks says there's
nothing equal to it for that pur
pose. II
ist Party.
,
. t Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Pless
entertained very handsomely at
Bridge Whist a party of Wheel
er guests in their Pine Grove at
their beautiful residence.
The , entire decorations were
carried out in the color- scheme
of red, white and blue, with hun
dreds of yards of bunting, flags
and Japanese lanterns. The
Pines were illuminated with my
rids of electric lights.
The Wheeler orchestra render
ed many beautiful selections.
A sumptrous repast was serv
ed. Mrs. Pless was assisted by
her sisters, Mrs. Wheeler and
Mrs., Ostdorff, who presidedat
punch bowls. There were
seventy five guests.

Property owners near the depot
are loud and bitter in their com
plaints against the Southern
Railway for allowing the ur
necessary mowing oi engine
whistles and ringing of bells at
the depot. One propety owner
there, a former country official
declares it to be a serious nui
sance and an entirely unneces
sary one. He cites an instance,
the other day, of an engine bell
on a passenger train which kept
ringing all the time the train was
at the depot. v
Two Chautauqua Attractions.
Manager Blythe, of the Chau
tauqua, spared neither expense
nor pains when it came to secur
ing attractions for the Hender
sonville Chautauqua on the 19th.
One of the: star attractions are
Capt. Jack Crawford, thev Poet
Scout, a man who tyas made his
tory. He is one of the most pict
uresque characters today on the
platform. He is full of wit and
his marvelous experiences are
thrilling in the extreme.
Another attraction which will
draw people from the surround
ing towns is Rev. William Spur
geon, of London, who comes to
Hendersonville with a message
of helpfulness and with a repu
tation all his own.
Southern
Railway
Whistles
Large crowds of people gather
ed last Friday and ... Saturday at
Chimney Rock for the picnic and
tournament. People came from
all sections of tJuncombe, Polk,
Henderson and Rutherford coun
ties by the hundreds. The
many hotels in the Gap were
taxed to their ' capacity, while
numerous - parties brought their
tents and provisions and camped
out on the surrounding hills.
Though the weather was unfavor
able al the 'attractions, such as
the tournament and fire works,
were pulled off according to pro
gram. There were dances and
good music at several of the ho
tels, adding greatly to the " pleas
ure of the occasion.
In spite of falling rain, parties
made up of boysand girls climbed
the mountains, scaled the Chim
ney, explored the several caves,
viewed the falls and cascades,
and journeyed to the bottomless
pools. No matter Show great
proportion their appetites assum
ed, due to the unusual amount of
exercise they were taking and to
the light, wholesome air they
were breathing, they were sat
isfied with ;the best that; .this
mountain country affords, tt and
that means all that the most fas
tidious gourmand could desire.
The crowd was jolly, good-
natured and peaceable, and there
was aosoiuteiy notnmg wmcn
occurred to interrupt the merry
round of pleasures. Everyone
lleft glad that he had come and
resolved to return at the first
opportunity The gentlemen who
undertook the picnic and man
aged it so successfully are to be
commended for their enterprise,
and their unfailing kindness and
attentions at all tmes. Ruther
fordton Sun. -
Regulate Hie Autos.
Main street was meant for
something else besides a speed
way for owners of. automobiles.
While the owners of autos have
every right which other users of
the street have, they have no
more. The reckless disregard of
public safety shown by some
owners of the "devil waigons" is
lielping to keep alive, the .pre-'
judice of the average horse own
er and pedestrian against tjiem.
The speed of automobiles should
be limited by the city ordinance
and then 'the city .'police should
ENFORCE that ordinance. '
Be Biggest Day ! Yet
At The Postotnce
Postmaster Jackson smiled gent
ly and remarked to a Daily Hust
ler man that last Monday was
the biggest day, in receipts, in
the history of the Hendersonville
Postoffice. It showed a tremen
dous increase over any other day
and the genial postmaster opines
that Hendersonville now has the
largest crowd in her history.

The Excursions.
The summer traffic is now at
the height in Hen
dersonville and other: places in
Western North Carolina.
Reliable citizens of this town
say that the city now has in it as
many visitors as is ever seen here.
The excursions that , arrived
from the South yesterday .left '
hundreds of new visitors in this
town. " V
Excursion loads arrived" yes
terday and another long train this
morning containing eleven
coaches' full of people.
Every train was heavyi Jaden

there were hundreds going on to
Asheville and other resorts in ,
Western Carolina. ' Anions: the
majority left in Hendersonville, ,
there were a few bound for Tox- !
away and Brevard.
All the excursion trains were
pulled into the city with two
engines, which puffed and snort
ed monstrously to get . the heavy
loads up the mountains, tHen
being, several hours behind the
scheduled time.
The boarding houses report
great numbers of visitors and the
most of them have all the guests
that they can accommodate.
They have already turned jdown
several applications, which fact
is an evidence that shows that
the city contains thousands of
visitors.
The excursion tickets hold
good until about the first of
September, and from now until
that time the city will be crowd
ed with thousands of ;: strange
faces. .
There is a ,,greav hustling ac
tivity in all lines of business in
the city. Thp stores, banks, the
postoffice, all the places of amuse
ment and the streets are crowded
from early morn until a late hour
at night. Saturday's Daily.

visiting her, had a narrow escape
from in jury yesterday at Laurel
Park. - V: ' " ' '

driving walked against the em
