Says W. A; Smith, Therefore Not
Necessary to Submit Proposition
to Vote of the People. Will be
Discussed at Good Roads Mass
Meeting Here
"What do you think of the
probabilities, possibility and ad
visability touching the question
of Henderson" i county issuing
bonds to build and improve the
public roads?" .
A Hustler man asked Hon W.
A. Smith the above question,
yesterday, and Mr. Smith replied:
"I answer by saying that there
is probably not another county in
the State which stands so much,
in need of public roads and good
public roads as Henderson Coun
ty. Her stock in trade consists
largely, if not chiefly, in what
our people get out of resorters.
As other places are building pub
lic roads we will have to improve
our roads to keep in the proces
sion. You can not find any man
with a tolerable degree of intel
ligence who will not tell you that
no county can develop ' i without
good roads, and thatyou can not
prevent any county ,from devel
oping with good roads. We have
talked so much about4 good roads
and permanent roads leading out
from Hendersonville tfiat it is
now necesary and imperative that
something should be done. . The
tjme has come, we can not ig
nore it. The greatest benefits
from building good roads will
inure to our children, and as bur
children are to receive our prop
erty, it is but just that the child
ren should receivethe property
in the best possible state, and it
is not unjust that the child should
carry some of the burden. There
fore, I think that the parent can
well afford to spend more money
on the property than he can
earn. . '
"This brings me to the point
of saying that I am in favor of
the parents now in -power bor
rowing money, issuing bonds on
long time, using the' money : to
build roads, let j the roads build
up the County and our property
will let the children pay off the
bonds when they mature. With
this plan we can improve our
roads leading out of 'Henderson
ville in every direction so as to
be absolutely fair to every sec
tion. This I am in favor of above
every other proposition. "I am
also in favor of having one or
more well improved thorough
fares leading through the county.
Both are practical and important,
but the thing of first importance
is making roads like spokes of a
wheel leading in every direction
ith the spokes as far as prac
ticable of the same length. .' j
'As building and improving
wads is a necessary expenditure
the question of issuing bonds for
tnat purpose, like building: court
. houses, jails and bridges, does
nthaveto be submitted to and
vted upon by the people;; and ,1
on March
30th
believe our authorities should
take this matter up and consider
ft frpm the standpoint bla mat
ter of great importance. ' It is a
business matter and brie that will
reflect great credit upon the busi
ness ability of the county au
thorities i they will : manage it
as wise' men .manage their own
business. ?' .

I ADVOCATES A OREAT
- v:
gountyMir, TO be!
Editor Hustler: , . . t ; ;
I want to express my views on
an impQrtan t matter that has
been brought before the public in
the columns of the Hustler, V
I desire to ' consider seriouslyi
the holding of a county fair early'
this fall, said fair to be in con
nection with ' the . contests for
prizes offered by some of;, the
public spirited citizens . of the
town arid county. Iam a staunch
advocate of fairs. ' Have been
attending them, off and" on, for
forty years. Have been "a life
member of an agricultural society
that holds 'one every year, and
from my experience and close
observation I am firmly of the
opinion that - great good is done
an untold benefits derived there
from. It is impossible to esti
mate the beneficial results. ; To
do soi"" one would -nave to be able
to fathom the thoughts of those
who attend them, and note the
resolutions formed, the determ
nations made to go home and
''mend their licks" and emulate
their more progressive brother
4 farmers.
In a short space of time after a
successful fair is held the results
are evident. I have heard Proff
Garland, whom weall know-to
be a close observer and calculator,
say in a conversation that the
fairs held a few years ago -at
Laurel . Park had increased; the
quality of the stock in this county
fifty percent ' " , : . ;
I said at the outset that I
Wanted seriously to consider 4his
question coition flt
fairs in ourcdurity, and we are
not alone, make it.a seripune.
The agricultural outlook in this
county is not very bright, view it
as we may. : Go to the record,
the freight books; at the depot,
and see the immense amounts of
hay, grain, corn, flour, bacon
and lard that are shipped in here
that tells the story better than
I can write it. : Most of these
things should be raised at home.
This was not always "the condi
tion in this county. " I can wjell
remember the time when Hen
derson county was the Egypt for
upper South Carolina, and the
main roads in the county were
well known and familiar to the
wagoners from that section, as
they would go to and fro to fill
their. wagonsTwith corn, bacon,
wheal, etc; Hearkeh t From the
same section from whence those
wagons came is being sent annu
ally fifty thousand' dollars worth
of cow feed alone into North
Carolina, or perhaps more. K Fifty
years ago this country was their
market Agriculture withinjthe
last thirty years, they tell usr has.
made more '"progress than in one
hundred years before, : Are we
keeping up with; the. procession?
Are we abreast with : those who
are. making such rapid strides in
practical agriculture? -; It is not
necessary for me to answer these
questions. You can dorthat your
selves. v ?
; Let us get together one, and
all, all classes of people, and
move up and take our- rightful
position. , -.?
The action of those generous
and wide-awake citizens who
have off eredTthe. prizes has in
spired this particle, and if it re
sults in holding a fair, which I
verilybelieve it will do,; they will
deserve arid receive the credit'
Such action will result in lessen
ing railroad receipts, larger cribs
and better filled smokehouses. It
