' J i V - , J' I- ' T7TT T7 1 li l-r) ONE DOLLAR THE YEAR. HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH (C AROLINA; MARCH 2, 1911. ( yOL. XVIV, No. 33. THE GENERAL ASSEtllBLY APPROflCHGl All Members Hard the Real Important ed Upon., T.R.B. Raleigh, Feb. 27. Work, did you say? Meaning exertion -.effort, toil, ' labor, achievement, production? Hon estly, there is only one spot in North. Carolina where you may get a true understanding of what real work' means, and that's Tight here under1 the dome of North Carolina's mag nificent capitol. . As to the honorable gentlemen of the General Assemly, why, to put it briefly, they are just about all in. They are worn to a frazzle, their nerves are on edge, and a cross look is all that is neecssary-to start some thing. But at the same time they are delivering the goods, and when the lights are turned off at twelve o'clock next Saturday night the legislators will prepare to leave for their homes with easy consciences, for they ..will have written many pages of progres sive legislation in the statute books' of the Old North State. But just now it's nothing to do but work all the time. The house is in session almost continually. During the discussion of the Battle child labor law, and the substitute which was finally adopted limiting the hours of labor in factories to ten hours, the ex pedient of turning back the hands of the big clock was adopted in order that the bill might get through on that day. But it was 'quite useless. The legislators gave Mr. Time a shove to the rear, but it. was two o'clock before the discussion ended and the bill passed. And it was one tired lot of law makers who straggled into their seats at .nine o'clock the same morn ing, making practically a continuous session of forty-eight hours. But such incidents as these show the mejttle of North .Carolina's repre sentatives. They were sent here 4 to work for the people of the" finest state in the Southland practically no meas ure has any chance of getting through before it has been thoroughly inves tigated. Another, and to all fair minded men a most pleasing charac teristic of this general assembly, "is the total and complete absence of po litical or party legislation. With both t'onses absolutely in their control to the credit of the democratic party must it be said that the minority re ceives every consideration, and the lep-islation secured by any republican member simply depends upon the character, the ability and the standing of tp eoresentative himself. Of course, Marshall of Surry, a man ignorant of the simplest parliament ary procedure, failed to get through his two million dollar, free school books bill, and verv properly so. Hp knew the bill would never be consid ered seriously when he introduced it, and the sorry snectacle the man made of himself on the floor of the house' will long remain one of the funniest' incidents in North Carolinas legisla tive history. It has been much the same way with Representative Ewart of Hender son. His dogs, bachelors .ana justices .of the peace bill left abad odor in the nostrils of the-honorable gentle men and they: can't forget it the smell was too strong, you know. Then, again, the gentleman from Hen derson, knowing full well, Susan, that this was a democratic legislature and any hair-brained legislation he might get through would be charged-io that party, came to Raleigh with a trunk and seevarl valises full of impractica ble measures designed to turn things upside down and then completely over. Of course, he, like the erratic mem ber from Surry, knew that his crazy work legislation would never get on the books fortunately for , the con tinued peace and prosperity of this state, . too. But 'the honorable gentle man from Henderson calculated that he would, at least, get credit for in troducing the stuff, and that if it passed the blame for the " conse- cmMIOPK wrmlrl alan hf nassftd onto the dominant party. If the republic cans of the state continue to send as their renresfint.at.ivps such men as the gentlemen from Sufry and Henderson they will constantly increase the re spect of the people for" the democratic party of the state, its principles and its representatives. Mr. Ewart so far has introduced forty-nine bills in the house. Had all the members introduced an equal number there would be almost six thousand measures to Je considered during the session ,or one hundred a day, or more than, twice as many.as rave ever been introduced at any ses sion. The " Hustler, of next week will ive a complete list of Mr. Ewart's bills. And it will also give a com plete list of those he has succeeded in getting out of the committee rooms and actually manufactured into law. The last list won't take much space. It will be found that his fulmina tions, in other words his thunder,, clamor, roar, denouncings or vocifer JODHT at Work Nearly all Bills Yet to be Act- ations against "everything and every body has done little but consume much of the general assembly's valuable time. - :' - . As predicted in this paper last week, the million dollar administration building has dwindled to., a quarter that size. . The house realized the ne cessity for a state' building, but also realized that the school children were knocking at heir door, .'and after a most interesting night session, when the galleries .were crowded as never before, they finally adopted SpeakerV Dowd's amendment to the bill and the new and needed building will go up on a fine lot facing the capitol, owned byj the state. The revenue act and the machinery act by which the revenue is raised, has passed. There are several changes in the law of interest to Hendersonville business men and more will be told of) it in next week's paper. . During this week- most of the big legislation will get through. The va rious committees have been devoting all their time to their consideration debate will probably be limited, as there is already a very good under standing amongst the members of what they propose to do about them. The state primary Jaw is a subject of dicussion after adjournment, as is the matter of state aid to good roads. The insurance investigation is yet to be finally settled, but will pass. Un doubtedly the schools will get increas ed appropriations as will the old sol diers. The Torrens land system billl may get through, as it ought to. A measure to impose indeterminate sen tences upon persons convicted of crime is wise progressive legislation and has many friends in the house and senate both. ; - There are something like three hun dred private bills on the calendar. These -will be heard -atthe night seV sions and rusheded -through on their third and final Teadlng. As showing how hard it is to make absolutely ef-' fective the prohibition laws, a bill in troduced Saturday will be of interest. It reads: "To prohibit the sale of in toxicating bitters within two miles of" a certain school house. Another freak bill is one prohibiting smoking on the steps of any church during a meeting in the building. Wood of Transylvania would allow non-resident land owners to hunt there without a license, and he has also introduced two bills amending the calls of land grants 298 and 303 in that county. Ewart's two bills, one making bribery at elections a felony and the other prohibiting the paying of poll taxes for the purpose of in fluencing votes, have Deen reporieu unfavorably, failing to pass the law-, yers on the committee to which they were referred. In their stead has been reported a substitute, simple and effective, changing the existing law inserting the word felony in plac: of the word misdemeanor. His bill im posing a tax on corporations also fail-; J ed, for the same reason; - -. -The-Eastern Training scaooi wm get a large appropriation. The much-talked-of-at-one-time Western school has not yet been heard from. - The" state is going! to make a liberal appropriation for the proper care of the feeble minded children, and a most strenuous effort will be made to knock out the locker clubs, which have sprung up all over the commonwealth more noticeably, of course, in the large cities. The report of Commissioner of La bor :M. L. Shipman played an import-, anOpart in the discussion of the Bat tle 1 child labor law. Nearly every member bad a cooy on his desk and reference to it and quotations from it were frequent. It is admitted to be one of the most imuortant of the state's many publications. Some men would argue with a sign post as to how far it was. to town,. That's why the committees are so hard I worked, a memoer pieyaico Nithout knowing what he wants. And it's .really surprising now mau) can sit down and between two breaths draft a measure' to reform every evil existing under the sun. The bill is in troduced: Evejy bill has to be intro duced, no matter how frivolous it may be even Ewart's dog, bachelor and justice of the peace freak. The mem ber .appears befpre- the committee. Some level headed lawyer there asks him a tevr questions, then in a min ute "do wr ' 9S tbe death warrant to that part ar piece of foolishness. But sonr ; es tee "v" - v at thatr insists, on being allowed' tn talk alk and talk. That's when the com :-"ilee earns its money. " . . Mr J. O. Bell, of- the Green River Manufacturing Company, a justice o tte peace, will be allowed appoinj a constable there. The bill providing this became a law on Saturday night late, oh, so late Saturday night. HEIIDER80I1VILLE L tnCffl . The citizens of Hendersonvillefeel indignant; over"" the fact that - the Southern Railway company in nearly every incident where the schedule; of the new Carolina Special is published in the daily papers of the country the town of Hendersonville is omitted. .The matter was brought before the meeting of the Retail Merchan . As sociation last week and stepj have been taken asking the railway com pany to place Hendersonville on the list of stops of the new train; An advertisement in the Post of Cincinnati was shown the citizens at the meeting of the Merchants Asso ciation this week, in which the towns of Tryon, Saluda and Asheville were named but Hendersonville was left off. The Carolina Special, has never failed to bring several passeneers for Hendersonville on every trip from the' juast and West, and the train is well patronized by Hendersonville people, ' - - y A HPvtn in. !.. i-t A.

P. Lane, presiding. The docket for this session is rather large consisting of many minor cases.

Buncombe Will Issue $75,000 Bonds For Training School. Raleigh, Feb. 28. If a $75,000 bonus will secure the proposed great teach ers training school to be established by the State, Asheville will get the school. . . ... Senator Martin of Asheville has a bill here authorizing Buncombe coun ty issue $75,000 bonds to aid in the es tablishment of the school. The sen- ; ate has passed the bill, and the house will do so. :. Then the pending measure author-' Izing the establishment of the school, and making a very liberal appropria tion therefore, will be rushed through' and Asheville will promptly and gaily step to the front row with a bonus of $75,000 and get the school. And she will find it a-very profitable In vest- j ment, at that. And this bond issue i bill also explains the mysterious hold- ing up of the measure providing for I the school and the appropriation for it. s wuici xjujuuLuue county legislation Is. that providing for a juvenile school of correction, and1, detentiqn4n Ashe ville, to' increase salary of the" countv treasurer, and to regulate trapping in nig ivy township. Tom Allen, of Mills River, is here, interested in a bill which permits seining in his neighborhood. Ewart's Two Boad Laws. Ewart's two road laws; one of them providing for an election have been re ported favorably by the committees to' which they were referred. The Judge has now one week in which to get them through the house and senate and he will do his best to bring them back home with him. As there is no politics in the general assembly, if the gentleman from Henderson can con vince the legislature that his bills ought to pass, they will pass.

He was converted and joined .. the Methodist church at a tender age, and lived almost a perfect sinless life. He was afflicted from early childhood and for ten years walked on crutches yet he was never heard to murmur or complain of his condition. He pos sessed an unusually bright Intellect and was naturally of a sweet cheerful disposition.1 Always patient, gentle and affectionate. These qualities be ing the ruling traits of his life, were bein. we"source 6f the greatest joy in the home. i Jn age he was a man, but was onlya "little boy' 1f othe fond family and many friends who loved him so much. He was th eyoungest of three children, and naturally the pet of the household. In the holy hush of that death chamber on that calm October evening the stricken father; mother, brother and sister watched with bowedheads and helpless grief while the death angel came and bore from earth, up to the bright mount of life eternal, thes spirit of Johnnie.1' Their appealing hands reached afterl the object of their tender affection, and their hearts went with him to the portals of the great beyond. His pres ence is now sorely missed in that quiet little home, and more so by the patient devoted mother who's constant carehewas for twenty-two years. Her devotion was rare and beautiful, and hergreatest happiness was in soothing the sufferings and making happy her afflicted boy. Tearsare vain when a soul so bright "He passed away, but his sweet good will, - Like a fragrant oder linger still; ' The tender lesson that memory brings The mantleof patience o'er us flings, . We strive to follow the path he trod. : To bemore like him who has gone to God.' Rejoice evermore thou eternal spirit. Sleep on thou sleeping dust till thou shalt awake at the trumpet sound. Farewell, dear Johnnie, till we meet thee with thy God. MRS. P. C. BATTLE. - Expensive houses and fixtures do not insure success in the business. A good many get the idea that if they spend a lot of money in fancy liouses and patented iiigh-priced fixtures that success is sure to come. Such a course is often outlined, much to the deterir ment of other? parts of the. business and particularly the quality of the stock. Better let your houses be plain yet convenient and comfortable, your feed of the best and of good variety, and your stock first-class, vigorous and .in good condition. Where money is no object and one does not care much whether, his poultry makes him a profit on his investment, then he ; may well spend a. good sum upon . houses, making them fancy as he will; jit is all right, but for the man who is 1 looking to an investment that will ! pay good returns for his good, cold ; cash put into it, it stands him in hand to make his houses as comfortable as possible with the least money. While chickens seem, to have an aristocratic look about them they will not turn uo their noses at anything that -will give them comfort and a good food supply. .
