I THANK YOU.
It is with this issue of the Hustler
that another takes hold of its helm to
guide it through many uncertain
seas. I am leaving this week to ac
cept a position with the Asheville
Times, in the advertising department,
a position which, I feel, is in a way a
promotion.
Hendersonville, to me, is one of the
greatest cities of its size in the
world. I have come in personal con
tact with the business element al
most daily for the past nine years
and I do not think I am exaggerating
one bit when I say that there is more
business transacted here on the
amount of money invested than in
the average city of like resources. I
mean by this that the business men
are live, wide-awake fellows who will
be quick to grasp their opportunities
just as soon as industrial develop
ments begin jn Hendersonville.
I have boosted the resort business.
The files of The Hustler will show my
"bit" towards good roads and I have
always maintained that a larger pay
roll is the business man's greatest
need in Hendersonville. I still be
lieve that Henderson county has al
most every natural advantage for
mills.
I do' not feel that I am leaving
Hendersonville altogether. I will
have the pleasure of seeing many of
my Henderson county friends in
Asheville and of course I shall return
on short visits. Hendersonville and
Asheville have a great many things
in common. They are lniked closer
together than a great many people
think. I shall invariably speak a
good word for Hendersonville and
shall never forget the many favors
shown me while living in your midst.
If I am so fortunate as to rise higher
in newspaperdom I shall always re
member my start, which was made in
Hendersonville. The experience has
been well worth the time.
I have the very highest regards for
my successor, Noah M. Hollowell. I
have been associated with him in
business for a good many years and
know him to be a young man of sterl
ing qualities. That he will make good
with the Hustler goes without saying.
I sincerely trust that my friends will
continue to patronize him and that
.my enemies may do likewise,

building of Hendersonville and Hen
derson county.

THE RED CROSS DRIVE.
The Hustler this week gives con
siderable space and prominence to
the Red Cross work. Henderson
county is asked to contribute the
small amount of $2,000 in the driven
for $100,000,000. We need not elab
orate just here on the good work of
the Red Cross and the importance of

doing our part. These things are
amply emphasized elsewhere.
The quota is small for this county
and we should not contents ourselves
with meeting the obligation. We
should at least double it.
BAT CAVE CHIMNEY ROCK.
The Hustler this week turns the
light of publicity on the Bat Cave
and Chimney Rock sections. Al
though this section which is lavishly
blessed with the grandest of scenery
and a most inviting climate suffered
severely from the ravages of the 1916
flood, it was by no means annihilated
and today the entire section revels in
the rich promises of vast develop
ment.
The Hustler in its feature article
calls attention to some of the prime
developing factors and while these
are important, there are others. The
building of the fine State highway
through the heart of the whole sec
tion promises great things. Scenery
and climate are both inviting and it
is reasonable to believe that at an
early date the whole Broad . River
valley will be studded with. the homes
of numerous, persons attracted by
the charms of the country.
The promises for the future are
bright, but they are easily blighted.
It all depends on how the people re
ceive the opportunities, and what
they endeavor to make of them.
Only by the spirit of friendliness can
this section be developed into what is
destined for it. The residents must
lend a helping and willing hand to
those who propose to help them bring
the section to a higher stage of de
velopment. Narrow-minded and un
fair and unreasonable tactics will not J commissioners. And the balloting in
At a well attended, harmonious
and enthusiastic convention held in
the court house last Saturday, the
Republicans of the county named the
following candidates:
For Representative in the Legisla
ture, Brownlow Jackson; Constitu
tional convention, A. B. Freeman;
Clerk of Court, C. M. Pace; Sheriff,
Allard Case; Register of Deeds, A. O.
Jones; Tax Collector and Treasurer,
WF. Brown; Surveyor, Henry Revis;
Coroner, Dr. T. W. Summer ; County
Commissioners, Sidney J. Whitaker,
John N. Russell and John Albert
Maxwell.
R. H. Staton presided as chairman
of the convention, and W. T. Drake,
W. C. Rector and W. C. Stradley
acted as secretaries.
Some short talks were made by the
chairman and other members of the
convention, all of whom declared that
the warmust be speeded up and won
by the allies at the earliest moment
possible. The loyalty of the Repub
lican party, they declared, has always
.been and always will be measured
only by the possibilities. Moreover,
they said a large majority of the peo
ple of this country believe in the prin
ciples of the Repulbican party prin
ciples which will endure as; long as
our government shall stand and
that after wandering in the wilder
ness for several years they are get
ting mighty anxious to see the party
back in power. The Republican
party is the party of the future, it
was declared, and much work ahead
to be done by it.
There was no contest in connection
with any of the nominations that call
ed for a second ballot, except in the
case of tax collector and two county

SCENE OF SIXTIES AT
CITY HALL FRIDAY NIGHT.
MR. G ARLINGTON'S GOING.
The departure of Gordon F. Gar
lington, as told of elsewhere in these
columns, takes from Hendersonville a
familiar figure. For nine years his
work on the Hustler has given him
possibly a closer daily contact with
the business elements of the city than
any other person has enjoyed and the
information thus gained has been to
his advantage. Some of it has been
used to good advantage in the Hust
ler through which, in many ways, in
advocating community needs, Mr.
Garlington has done his bit, and cre
ated an influence which is impossible
to ascertain.
Mr. Garlington is a hustler, with
Ho slacking qualities. He is congen
ial, affable, upright and honorable,
and these qualities, with the experi
ence he has gained, will stand him in
good stead in his bigger line of work,
which is not altogether new. It is
for this work that he is best qualified
and his training along these lines
with the Hustler from week to week
and his fondness for this particular
field of labor will spell success and
we expect to see him climb rapidly in
the advertising world. The Hustler
and Hendersonville will greatly misi
him.

connection with these nominations
was of a quiet and friendly nature.

position of tax collector, and it took
two ballots to determine the matter,
the candidates voted for on the last
ballot being W. F. Brown, the incum
bent, and A. E. Hudgins. Mr. Brown
won over Mr. Hudgins by a very nar
row margin, and was declared duly
nominated.

Telephone Company Plans
v. Xo Improve Service
u
t
Our request of the Nprth Carolina State Corporation Com
mission for authority to, enforce the clause in our subscribers'
contract for service which provides that we shall furnish service
"for the use of (the) subscriber, subscriber's agents and represen
tatives only," is in the interest of improved service, conservation
of facilities and the elimination of an unnecessary burden now
borne by the company and certain of its subscribers.
For many years we have permitted our operators to furnish
our subscribers an information service, such as giving the time of
the day and answering other inquiries not in any way connected
with the furnishing of telephone service.
We have also indulged the practice of many subscribers to
business service in allowing the general public free and unre
stricted use of telephone stations in the subscriber's place of
business, with the result that this practice has developed into an
abuse.
This free use of service by the general public prevails exten
sively in our larger cities and is noticeable in public and semi
public places in many of which a telephone station is provided
for the free use of the public for advertising purposes. Tele
phone stations of this class are used beyond all reasonable limits
for frivolous and unnecessary purposes and prove a burden upon
the service by requiring operators and facilities which are ur
gently needed for necessary and serious uses.
It is such stations as these that will be effected by the en
forcement of the contract. The plan, as applied elsewhere, has
met with public approval and does not restrict the service of the
individual subscriber.
The demands upon the operators and facilities of the com
pany by reason of the innumerable requests for the time of day
and other information and the extensive and unauthorized use of
the service in public and semi-public places, have grown to such
proportions as to seriously handicap us in our efforts to render
efficient service to our subscribers who arraying for the service.
Coupled with this there is such an unprecedented demand
for telephone service and facilities, both for business and social
purposes that we felt it our duty to petition the State Railroad
Commission for authority to enforce our subscribers' contract,
so that facilities now used for frivolous and unnecessary purposes
might be released for a more serious and legitimate use.
