Col. Roosevelt is having a "bully time" down in South America. Teddv is a fine advertiser wherever you place him. Get your pick, or your shovel and be ready to break dirt on the public road November 5. It is a patriotic service due your county and the State. .The call is to everybody. Looks like the Mexican situation de mands more than the throwing of tufts ct grass. Nothing is to be gained by temporizing with a gang bent on fol lowing the "rule or ruin" policy of Huerta dynatsy? and proposals, the freight car short age which existed in this country be fore Mr. Wilson's election. At the time of Mr. Wilson's election the shortage in freight cars amounted' to 50,000 cars, whereas there is now a surplus of more than 10,000 cars." By way of contradiction and expla nation 9 fthis so-called car shortage, iq which the Times calls attention Editorially, we clip the following news item from the opposite page of tha Times.: "Washington Imminence of a seri ous car shortage on American rail roads induced the interstate commerce commission to issue a vigorous ap peal directed to both- railways "ana shippers to give 'close attention to methods of loading, unloading, moving and very promptly returning to use the cars now available.' Complaints received from all parts of the coun try indicate the danger of a car short age." ' 4 0 BETTER STREETS NEEDED. Ex-Governor Sulzer, of New York, is on the war path against Tammany, w ith indications that he will be elect ee to the State assembly from his old borne district. We wish him well, but he will find the road back to the high political a rocky one to travel. There is no gainsaying the sugges tion that Craig will go down in his tory as North Carolina's Good Roads Governor. He started in to do the State a service and his ambition will b fully gratified, if indications count for anything. ! o Governor Craig has promised u shovel all the dirt "picked" by "Big Jim" Morgan, of Buncombe county, on "Good Roads Days," November 5th and 6th. So it is settled that the Governor will don a brand new suit of overallls and go forth to battle for pro gress and aga'n?t wd. Fvery ;-- bodied man in the State should emu late the splendid example of our Chief .Executive. 4- The property owners of Fifth avenue are to be congratulated on the prepa ration of a petition to the board of al dermen, asking that this important thoroughfare be paved. Henderson ville will have to face the ques tion of paving some of its streets at an early date and the soon er we have good streets both during winter and summer the earlier pros perity-will smile upon us as a resort city. As long as we have a city in which automobiles cannot make their way to and from5 the main thoroughfare we cannot claim advantages that will strongly appeal to the automobile ele--ment of tourists. Better streets and better roads we must have if we hope to win winter tourists. 4 POSTMASTER OWEN GUDGER. See Ewbank for Fire Accident Insurance, Insurance.

Well, they are mighty fine fellows and democrats in fact as well as in name. ) 4 When news of the sudden death of Col. Ashley Home was flashed over the wires on Thursday of last week an almost innumerable host of admir ers bowed their heads in sorrow. Only the day before, Colonel Home had been a visitor to the State Fair and appeared in fine form. But soon after the return to his home in Clay ton an acute attack of heart trouble resulted in his death. Colonel Home was one of the state s Dest citizens and had made a great success in life. His record during the civil war was one of courage and heroism, and as 0 patriotic citizen since peace was de clared there were few in his class. I 0 O THOU INCONSISTENCY! In a vain but belabored effort -jo show some evil effects of the Wilson administration, the Western Carolina Times subjected itself to a grave and gross inconsistency last week when in answer to the mass of statistics' given under the caption of "It's Time to Take Stock" "prepared by W. C. Rector, the newly elected president of the pub lishing company, it gave a news story vhich contradicted the carefully pre pared trade figures. We would further call the attention of the Times and its contributor to the fact that in making comparisons of trade conditibns it , compares th month of September of this year with October of 1912, instead of giving figures for corresponding months of the two years. In an effort to show that there is a general decline in business causing a surplus of more than 10,000 freight cars, against a shortage of 50,000 laat Drear, Mr. Rector quotes the following lu which he call an "unbiased manner: "The Wilson administration has al ready overcome, by radical measures We wish to congratulate Congress man J. M. Gudger upon his decision to recommend the appointment of his campaign chairman, Mr. Owen Gudger, as postmaster of Asheville, and like wise felicitate the future postmaster. Afrer viewing the circumstances we c uld not for once imagine Represent ative Gudger's recommending any one else for this position, for when it comes to party service "Owen" has been in the thick of the battle, and vhen we consider his qualifications for thi office we find all things in his favor. In the last two campaigns he was Representative Gudger's campaign manager and rendered most effective service. While the other candidates for the iJOLition were well quauiicd to iiaadw the duties of the office, their chance3 for appointment, when we view the situation as a whole, could not be ex pected to appear very promising, therefore we congratulate the Tenth Piftrict representative in bringing the 1 scramble for the office to a close in an nouncing his intentions at this early cate. DANA FAIR WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY The Blue Ridge Township fair will open at Dana, 'six miles from Hender sonville, on Wednesday of next week, lasting three days. At a meeting of those interested in the work on last Saturday it was de cided to call upon the people of Hen derson county and especially those liv- ' ing in the vicinity of Dana to gather j at that place on Friday and -Saturday I of this week for the purpose of assist- ' ing in the arrangement of buildings, equipment and other things prepara tory to holding the fair. Exhibits to rthe enclosed building will be displayed in the Dana school house. Poultry will be placed in a big store building donated for the purpose and a barn has been maLe, available fo rthe live stock. Arrangements are being made to make music to be rendered by the Henderson County Singing Association one of the most popular features of the fair. The officers have had assurance of a large number of exhibits in all classes to compete for the hand some list of cash premiums to be awarded. Prospects are bright for a splendid attendance and in view of the very small admission fee of ten and five cents no fears are entertained of such being prohibitory, hence people are expected frorn all parts of the county with exhibits, of stock, farm products, household articles,- together with the whole family. This is the third annual fair of the Dana people and prospects are bright fcr this one eclipsing all previous ones. The people are urged to attend on Friday and Saturday of this week and assist in making definite arrangements for placing exhibits of all kinds. Petitions are in circulation over the city and especially among the residents of the depot section, asking the post master general to establish a sub postoffice some where nea rthe South ern depot of Hendersonville. It is pointed out that the patrons of the postoffice living in this section do not enjoy the conveniences desired along this line, especially the business element, in view of the distance from tbe main office. .N Representative J. M. Gudger is un derstood to have promised his support In this movement in accordance with the wishes of the postoffice patrons and with this assurance a number of persons have signed the petitions in circulation. v Fo rthe benefit of those v;hn wish tn ci frn ft ia c fa tori tha nrta will be available at the Gallamore- I Old Time Singing.

WETMUR VISITS WESTERN FARMS For the purpose of interesting the farmers of the Middle West In Hender son County, Mr. F. S. Wetmur left on the Carolina Special, Wednesday night, for Kansas City. He will re main in the West about one month. Mr. Wetmur goes as the accrediteJ representative of the Greater Hender sonville club. The funds for the nec essary expenses have beep-furnished by the banks of the city, the real es tate men and a few public spirited cit izens to whom the matter made a special appeal. Mr. Wetmur carries with him an ample supply of suitable1 advertising matter prepared by the club especially for this purpose, in cluding many photograps, and in addi tion several sampTes of Henderson county's agricultural products. Nota ble among these products is a fine ex hibit of corn furnished" by Mr. A. Can non. This distribution of this advertising matter, the personal talks Mr. Wetmur will have with the men of the West vill amply repay the cost of the trip. As Mr. R. C. CTarke remarked, 'Tt will put Henderson county in a section where it never has been before." Should any of the Westerners be induced Jo visit here and buy property, all the real estate men have agreed to co-operate in satisfying him. In this particular matter, as in the St. Peters burg colony, the real estate men have agreed to sink their individual inter ests in the .good of the community. Thjs is really the birth of a real eBtate exchange for Hendersonville some thing which is vastly desirable. pi Y p1 Y v Wfl 11 if ii v F IT Christmas fancy w6rk.
