AT WHICH TIME DO YOU
WANT YOUR PAPER?
Do you want your new Henderr
sonville daily paper, The Herald,
to come to you in the morning or
in the evening ?
How many yearly subscriptions
will you send in if it's a morning
paper? : ' .
How many if it's an "evening
paper?
Let us hear from you. r 1
The first issue of the Daily
Herald will be out' this month.
It will be a NEWSpaper worthy
of the town and county which is
manifesting so eagerly its dis
position to support it
It is generally appreciated,
now, just how much a live daily
newspaper will mean .to this
whole community. It means a
Greater Hendersonville, for,
every day, it will tell the outside
world of the incomparable ad
vantages of this town.
A Greater Henderson County,
for it will preach good roads,
improved farming methods, in
duce immigration, and keep the
farmers thoroughly posted as to
market conditions here and else
where. This is an age of advertising,
and municipal corporations no
less than private business corpor
ations MIJST advertise. A
daily paper is absolutely the last
word in municipal publicity, and
Hendersonville, with every possi
ble natural advantage, needs but
the right publicity-."to become a
city of ten thousand within a
short time.
The Daily Herald, with proper
support from the community,
will supply that needed publicity.

To the Editpr:; . ' ...
The campaign in the Tenth
Congressional district from th0
Democratic portion of . the vine
yard is fast drawing to a close.
Thus far the campaign between
the aspirants for the nomination
for Congress has been all Jthat
party harmony" could desire.
The several . gentlemen" in the
race have conducted their fight
on a high plane and this will be
felt in the November election.
It-is evident that Hon. William
J. Cocke of '3uncombe , county
is still leading in the race. iTis
friends are more enthusiastic to
day than they have ever been.
They realize that the fight is
about over and that Mr. Cocke
will be the nominee; also, tjjat
when nominated he will defeat
John Grant at the polls and rep
resent ithis district in the next
Congress of the United States.
Information from Buncdmbe
county the battleground is to
the effect that Mr. Cocke will
carry that county; that he will
have a majority over all his con
testants. He has gained rapidly
in the district, according to the
press and the best information
obtainable, during the past seve
ral weeks and, months, for. that
matter, and today he is regarded
in every county as the .. leading
candidate and the candidate who
will win the nomination. f Rela
tive to the situation . and the
view that is i taken of the .'cam
paign in McDowell county, the
Mai ion Progress last week had
the following editorial comment
and. commendation of Mr. Cocke:
Cocke Will Defeat John G.
Grant.
After a careful investigation
we are bold to declare .that Hon.
William J. Cocke, of Buncombe,
is the strongest man in the race
for the "Democratic Congres
sional nomination. It is to him
that the Democracy must look to
bring again this district into the

I DEiCRAT, FOR SOLICITOR
To the Democratic Voters of
Henderson- County: V; -
: With no : intended disparage
ment to other aspirants for the
honor, we feel that it would be
the part of wisdom for the dem
ocracy of Henderson County to
(endorse the candidacy of Mr.
Michael Schenck for Solicitor.
vHe is capable, energetic, scrup
ulously -honest, and possesses
every other qualification requir
ed in the faithful 'discharge
of the duties incumbent upon
a State's attorney. He is an en
thusiastic democratic worker and
ever holds party success par
amount to personal ambition. His
name would strengthen the dem
ocratic ..ticket in this section.
We need hew life in the party
and men.who have not ; been be
fore the people can best -inspire
it. '-v.
Mr. Schenck has never before
asked the democrats of the CDutny
to endorse him for any office,
and does, not approve the all-too-frequent
idea of ambitious
individuals rushing into the pri
maries' every two years for what
ever position seems tp be a vail
able. Mr. -Schenck has steered h
clear pf party quarrels, , and, con
sequently, has no record of sins
bf ctni-sion or commission to
atone for. His . candidacy would
command the hearty and - en
thusiastic v support f of a united
party: in .Hen derson County land
thus aid in the election of a dem
ocrat to congress. "A new broom
sweeps clean. J Let us name men'
to office who will be the most ac
ceptable to the voters, regard
less of our own personal feelings
in such matters.
Devoutly wishing for the suc
cess of Mr. Schenck in the dem
ocratic primaries oh June 25th,
and asking the active co-operation
of- his' many other friends
who are interested in bringing
about such a conclusion, we are

1 The fdheral services were held

ed Sunday schools almost with
out numberr He. was at one time

A life consecrated to humanity,"
a character absolutely spotless,
a mind and heart pur and clean as
a little child's, no man was ever
more beloved in Henderson
County than G. S. Jones.-
To him hll men were brothers.
His invariable courtesy, his
kindly smile and cheery words
made him universally beloved by
high and low. His deeds of charity
were without number and that
tall, spare frame, long a familiar
sight on Main street will be sad
ly missed, as will be his example
of a gentle, pure and Christian
life. But

It is midnight to us .
It is morning to him. "
