V -Govornor-elect Richard I. Manning will be inaugurated next Tuesday. He tas been political opponent of Mr. Please and defeated Lieutenant Gov ernor Blease for the democratic nom ination last August. Mr. Blease at that time was defeated for the demo cratic nomination for United States senator by Ellison D. Smith, the in cumbent. Picturesque Figure. Governor Blease, sometimes called "the stormy petrel of South Carolina." was accounted one of the most pictur esque figures in American public life Original in conception and daring in execution, his administration has been msrked by many unusual actions Numerous grants of clemency to state prisoners, public statements which were constructed to mean that he was opposed to using state troops to pre vent the lynching of negroes when hey attacked white women and the re cent disbanding of the South Carolina National guard helped make his offi cial career notable. "I love the pardoning power," he once said., "I want to give the poor devils another chance. I , hope to make the number an even thousand before I go out of office." Records show that the governor sur passed even his own expectations. Just before retiring today he issued twenty seven clemency grants. Four men sentenced to life imprisonment fo murder received commutations. Mosl of the remaining number were given commutations. Today's action made a total of 1,708 prisoners granted clem ency during the governor's four years administration. - ThonsanJi Pardoned. Full particulars recently were grant' ed approximately .1,000 prisoners who previously had been paroled; this ac tion restoring their citizenship. Sup erintendent D. J.

C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1915 " - ' -- 1 " Good Reasons Should Levy BUSINESS MEN OF VARIOUS CALLINGS TELL WHY AN AD VERTISING TAX SHOULD BE LEVIED TO 'EXPLOIT CITY'S ADVANTAGES; ATONIlILL TAX WOULD m PRODtic;ABOUT $2,000. ; " By u manly struggle and sacrifieeciiAthe part of a few; of its citizens, Henderson ville has received; considerable favorable advertising as a result of which she. hs- reaped fairly good re- turns. - ' , 1: . J , ' A comparatively small number of citizens' bore the burden. The burden grows heavier but the.fai(iiful workers are not in creasing rapidly. The time has comet wien it is nothing but proper aiid right as well as necessary tat the people as a whole help bear the burden of keeping Hendersonville on the map as - u health and pleasure resort. Jt isL vair.easonable to expect a few to continue to-do this work. - iilc;V " The commercial organizations, niggarblly supported, have by faithful work kept the city on the maj t If Hendersonville expects t0 hayel a obd season this summer &he must do more advertising than;inrtlie.past. All our citizens instead of a few" rea the results of advertis-. ing. Who shall bear the burden? VShayie. few faithful ones bear the commercial cross and the tightwads go free ? It is high time for a change.; The change can be made if the few faithful will make it. The legislature is in session. We " should have it amend our charter so as to levy an advertising tax from year to year. This can be;one-without working a ' lurden on any person and at the same""lime equalize the cost of advertising among those who reap the Results so that it would not cost the $10,000 property owner hu)i;e than tlie'small sum .of $10. - v; --?V:&.: , ' Heudersonville property is listed "at Approximately. rtwo mil- lion dollars- An advertising. tax-of cent would mean that for every $10 listed only one penny would ! .fs favrabIe- but often just the op be devied for,; Advertising ; purposed Ahe man listing 1 .000 i JZ - would 'pay only $1 for helping city. This would not be a burden on any property owner. The levy could be larger or smaller as the people see fit. An advertising tax has made Asheville famous the world over. Jt would do as much for Hendersonville and equalize the bur den now borne by a few. ; The faithful have wearied of the continuous burden. If support is not given them they will soon despair. An adver tising tax is the solution. ; A mass meeting will be held Friday night at the court house with the city commissioners present and it is the duty of Hen dersonville people to attend and give expression to their views vs to whether or not the city should make a liberal appropria tion for advertising purposes this year and have the charter . amended so as to provide an advertising tax from year to year. We have heard objection from no sopee to an advertising tax but have' heard many citizens endorse it. " -Read the interesting views of citizens of Hendersonville be low on the question of an advertising tax. Brownlow Jackson Wants It. "I favor an advertising tax," said Brownlow Jackson,; presi dent of the Peoples National bank. When told that a levy of one mill would require the $10,000 property owner to pay only $10 for advertising the city and that thereby - about $2,000 would be raised for advertising purposes, Mr. Jackson said, he first grunted,. then said: ''The man that wouldn't be willing to pay a tax of that kind; well, I don't know just what to say about, him. It's a good thing; we need it for Hendersonville." Dr. Few Favors It- "Why, there's no sense to a:few poor fellows like us hav ing to burden ourselves when the big property. owners won't: pay a thing for advertising and upbuilding, the city," declared Or. C. Few. "An advertising tax is the only solution.!' ! Dr. Brown Says no Burden - " A small tax like that wouldn't burden any man,. said - Dr. J. S. Brown m discussing the merits of such a measure J. C. Morrow Illustrates. . , "An advertising tax is what we have always needed. A tax xf this kind would make -the people take more interest in th'e -Jlub," said J. G Morrow of the , firm of Morrow & Ditmer. Pausing long enough to deposit some of the Brown Mule results ever the curb, Mr. Morrow proceeded to illustrate by telling of -how the chimney sweeper surprised his neighbors by cleaning up himself in general one Sunday morning and makinghis way . to Sunday school.. He politely quirers that he was a partner. in ed a penny in the Sunday school how it was spent. rIf we could in some vway induce the peopla o support the . club then they would . show a greater interest by their presence "for they, would be a partner in the business Yes, that tax would be the very thing.' 1 : " Eev.

Publishers Face Many difficult Prob ; lems; a Newspaper's Obligations. . - (Canton Observer.) Newspapers have gotten to be very common products of late years, and while some of them are very insigni ficent, still exert an influence of some character. Some are far more influ ential than others due to age and ability of editors. Some papers are iii?de up almost exclusively with mat ter taken from others papers, and some t'mes- without. due credit. An .editor that has no originality about him and i& void , of, personal opinions, had bet ter enter some other field of labor. Some people seem to think that ed itors are gentlemen of leisure and saiJ through life on flowery beds of ease. This is- a big mistake. The editor that attends to his work has; no playtime. Each Jssue of his paper requires new thought. There, are a , thousand and one things that, come upon him that rre entirely unknown to the nuhlin T.nd many of them will never be known in tnis life. The editor is expected to laud to the f.kies men that are unworthy of lau Uation, whatever. He pundle up a great bouquet of descrip tive aujecuves ot an high order anq" place them in an obituary notice of a T'an who read "his paper for year3 without ever paying a cent for it. A dead rascal Is no better than a living one except that his personal acts cease to longer influence others. We are willing at all times to deal ou- justice toward our fellow being, but we are often imposed upon and made to say good things about people whose lives were unworthy of a kindly notice. -It must not be forgotten that the editor is human and is as liable to err as many other people are. He is rlaced in a position to learn much of human nature in all its phases, but often he is latejn being truly inform ed. His encomiums go out in bold type and when are gone, worth v hV j unworthy, they have been spread jLioadcast over the land and he can ! nillv a-arait "... l i.- . j icauHB, wmcn are some- magnificent speech,' or preacher a . riagniiicent sermon when there was no j magnificence about either. But things, are often-sugarcoated to make 'thorn I go down easy. There is too much un desirable taffy given and perhaps not , enough of the deserved kind, but if ail oes in a life time and we never begin to learn properly until our work is about complete just what we should have said and done. The country weekly generally fur nishes better matter for the family circle than do the metropolitan dailies The late lamented J. P. Caldwell, once the brilliant editor of The Charlotte Observer , said to the viiter that ha gleaned more good thought from the country weeklies lhan he got from all the big dailies. Good editorial matter is the life of any paper. Current topics are all right and very necessary, but a news paper without good editorial matter is a dead issue. Man must feed upon matter of a higher order than current news if he desires to become a well rounded character. WILSON HAS GRANDSON. Washington, Jan. 18. President Wilson's talks with callers today cen tered mainly about the new White House arrival, his first grandchild, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. Thousands of congratulatory messages and many presents" arrived. The grave look Mr. Wilson has worn since bis wife's death was supplanted b.y a broad smile. CARPENTERS DIDN'T RALLY. Joseph Reiley, southern organizer of of the United Brotherhood of Carpen ters and Joiners, was in the city this week looking after local conditions. A call for a meeting was made but the organizer was discouraged to know that the local carpenters appeared lit tle concerned over their organization as it is(. understood that only three members of the union met. - - PREPARING SUMMER BOOKLET.

BY HERBERT Jf. CASSON. (In Associated Advertising.) "What is the matter with the United : fctates?" ' . - As I have been residing in London s?nce the beginning of the war, I have been hearing this question asked on all sides. I have never heard any sat isfactory answer. No one seems to know. Why are the American factories not running night and day? Why are th; ailroads not opening up new territo ries and getting ready for the milliona of immigrants who have already mad3 up their minds to leave Europe as toon as the war is over? . Why are there hot fifty American diummers in London right now try Ing to sell $200,000,000 worth of Amer ican, goods in place of the goods that were- bought last "year from Germany md Austria? Why have advertisers become qnifc ters, just at the time when their ad lertisements were most needed and Most effective in cheering on the bn. iness forces of the United States? From the Euorpean point of view, be United States is a haven of peaco? and security and prosperity. It has -no trouble that it dare mention to Belgium or Austria or France or Ger many or Servia or Great Britain or Hussia. . Every tenth Briton has enlisted t Fvery tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. . What. loes the '' United "States know ot trouble? .; If I could afford it,. I would cha:rter-; the Mauretania and Lusitanii, and -convey a party of 5,000 American Ad- wertisers to Europe for a trip of ed . ucation. I would give them a week in London, a week in Paris, and a weefc In Antwerp. ; "V I would let them look at the United State from the scene of war. I would . Eive them a look at REAL TROUBLE- I would let them see trains, ten at a time, flve minutes apart, packed with : 'Le maimed and the dying. 'I would let them hear, from frag- . aentary survivors, the incredible - story of battlefields 150 miles wide, and armies that are greater than tba entire population of Texas. I would let them see graves 100 yards long and fulL and 'Belgium, tha ; country that was,- nothing now but . 12,000 square miles ot wreckage. " Then, when . they began to under stand, to some slight extent, the mag- r nitude-and awfulness of this war, I would say to them: . "Now go back' and appreciate tha United States.

Don' fall down when you have not been hit. , Don't be blind to the most glorious change you have ever had in your life.
