"It is more blessed to give than to receive" was the theme of the delight ful entertainment given by the Pres byterian Sunday school last Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Instead of the usual custom of the Sunday school pupils being given a treat of candies and fruit, it was de cided to make this a giving Christmas, and the children came w'th the'r s-ifts for those who are less fotrunate than themselves. The church was tastefully decorated in evergreens, and stretched against the railing of the rostrum was a white canvas having the scriptural motto: "It is more blessed to give than to re ceive." In front of the motto stood a white cross garlanded with ivy and kalinia, forming a pleasing attractive effect. Recitations and songs were rendered bv the children, all typical of the gift of the Christ child to a lost world. Two little tots whose songs were lis tened to with much pleasure and in. terest were John Brown and Elswirth Meteer, who each stood before the large audience and sang of the joy to the world in the birth of the Savior. The other pupils rendered their songs and recitations in a very cred itable manner, and the entire pro gram was most inspiring and enter taining. The cash offerings and contribu tions of groceries and. provisions were ery liberal. The Balfour Or phanage and a few needy - families were the recipients of the contribu tions and as the text. "Itis more blessed to give than to receive was beautifully demonstrated. XMAS BUSINESS WAS FINE SAYS ADVERTISERS. Hustler Investigates Among: Its Ad vertisers Finds Good Results. Some Doubled.

James Foy Justice, Senator of the .: Thirty-third North Carolina district leaves next week to take up his duties in Raleigh during the legislature. Senator Justice was elected by a handsome majority and begins his po litical career quite a young man. He is one of the leading young lawyers of this section of the state and will no doubt make his mark during the session of 1917 legislature. When seen by a Hustler reporter Mr. Justice was reluctant in speaking of what he proposed to enter in the way of new bills; but emphatically stated that he was not going to im pose any additional expenses or taxes upon the county and would use all his efforts in giving his district the best legislation in his power to-obtain. In speaking of creating any new offices for Henderson county Mr. Jus tice stated that he was not in favor gj.jA.rjH VVj '"-T u - of such unless it was a non-partisan jpnsn some substantial good for the board to take care of the county leg: people of the tenth district and I shall islation, after the constitutional j enter upon my duties with the pur amendments had gone into effect.

' , . . , HEPUBLICAKS ABE SORE. (fluy Goiimm in Greensboro News.) Asheville, Dec. 23. Congressman, elect. Zebulon Weaver gave out a state ment to the press in which he says that he and his Democratic friends-do do not fear a contest by Mr. Brittfon the floor of the house. Mr. Weaver say8 that If the congressional fight is taken to the house he . proposes to bring out some interesting facts. His statement follows: "To say nothing of illegalities, irreg-, ularities In the eelction, I expect to show Congress conclusively, in case of a contest, that I received a majority of the votes cast and deposited in the . "v mV fluls"1UL; viaenee my ha.ntiS. certified and sworn to, shows this to be a fact. I have not relied on rumors or hearsay state- ments. "In regard to unmarked ballots re ferred to by my opponent in the elec tion, I expect to show that there were many unmarked ballot for him in what Mr. Britt claimed were the returns; that in many precincts unmarked bal lots were counted for him and that if the election had been determined by the unmarked ballots alone I would hare received a majority of the votes cast. "Going further there is evidence of illegal voting and other irregularities and this testimony comes from all sec tions of the district. If a contest is inaugurated by Mr. Britt I expect to expose all illegal and unfair methods resorted to in the district and in so doing I shall Jeel that I am performing a service to which the people of. the tenth district are entitled.

The Republicans were keen ly disappo'nted for they fully believed that the state Supreme court would uphold Mr. Britt in his appeal and that the certificate would not be awarded to Mr. Weaver. It is generally believed here that Mr. Britt will take his fight to the floor of the house, which he as intimated here on several occasions that he would do, in case the courts of the state decided against him. No decision regarding this is expected, however, until Mr. Britt's arrival here this week from Washington, the Congress adjourning Friday for the -holidays. The Democrats are greatly elated over what they say an end to the congressional controversy, for many of the leading Democrats here, when seen hy a representative of the Daily v" ""1WU.1 ..aj u.auttli Blttieu 11111 1 -ney aia not relieve tnat Congressman ?ritt would dare take the fight to the noor of tne Boose One Democrat said that If Britt did go to the floor of the and monkeys that the tourists greatly them.

While the decision reached by the Supreme court and "the state canvass ing board pleased local Democrats, at least most of them, and surprised and displeased local Republicans, it came as a great relief to many men who do not take any great interests in pdlitics of any nature, other than voting once in awhile.
