Revis, republican leader in Jackson county, shot and instantly killed. Walter Fisher was shot by Joe Sutton: injuries were not serious. Trouble arose over the election. Congressman Weaver's majority of two years ago was increased to near ly S.000. This is said to be the big gest majority in the history of the 'district. Democratic majority in Buncombe county is a healthy gain over that of 1920. J. Ed. Swain was given largest majority in history of Judicial dis trict. He will succeed Pritchard as solicitor. The democratic majority in North Carolina is estimated to be 75,000, the largest in the history of the state. 1 Eleven counties heretofore republican are believed to have climbed into the democratic column. Democrats are believed to have won fifteen seats in the house of representatives of this state. Results in the New Jersey guber natorial and senatorial contests look extremely close. Indications point to the election of republican officers in Pennsylvania. Speaker GIHet of the house of rep resentatives has been re-elected. R. H. EAVES, SHOT BY ZORA CAGLE, DIES OF WOUNDS R. H. Eaves, who a few weeks ago was shot by Zora Cagle in the road in front of the former's home near Horse Shoe, died this morning at an Asheville hospital, where he was taken from the Patton Memorial hos pital. Funeral arrangements could not be learned. It is supposed that his body will be taken to Virginia, his former home. Cagle, who was arrested on the day of the shooting, is in the county jail. Eaves was sitting on his porch playing a musical instrument and was called to the road by Cagle, who is said to have fired as Eaves ap proached. PLEASANT HILL POUNDS PASTOR Dear Editor: It. would have done your heart good to have been in our home on last Friday night when we were so lovingly pounded by our Pleasant Hill people. About 7:30 o'clock trucks and auto mobiles began to stop in front of our "home and thirty-five men, womenn boys and girls came in. After a few minutes the men excused themselves and soon came in, bringing all man ner of nice things to add to the com forts of life. Besides the nice things to eat, were such things as a beauti ful quilt, table' cloth, and napkins to match, and towels, money and checks to buy more when the present supply V exhausted. My little boy, four years old, said after the people had gone, "I think it's so nice of them to bring all of these things." His mother and I very heartily agreed that he was right. With our hearts overflowing with thanks and appreciation, we are, Sincerely, Ernest G. Ross and Family. Carriages fitted out in silk, velvet nd leather, with ivory and nickled fittings, costing at once time $15,000, were auctioned off in Knoxville, Ten nessee, recently, for $20. The car riages once belonged to Tim Sulli van, Anthony J. Drexel and other dis tinguished citizens. Several horses tor from $5 to 5l each. 1. ace UNOFFICIAL RETURNS fROH Congress (R) Ralph R.

Indications point to a large apple and poultry show in Hendersonville Friday and Saturday. Prospects are bright for many exhibits. Interest has been shown in various parts of the county. The News correspondent at Fletcher writes that there will be several exhibits of birds " from that community. Interest has been man ifested to the officials by persons in various sections. - The show will be held in the build ing of the Hendersonville Automobile Company on North Main street. There will be neither entry nor entrance fee, hence exhibitors and spectators are urged to attend without being taxed with any costs incident to showing their products or seeing the '. splendid exhibits. j Exhibitors are required to have their exhibits at the building not later than 5 o'clock on Thursday aft ernoon. The exhibits will be arranged in time for the public to review them from 9:30 o'clock Friday morning un til 9 o'clock at night. The building will be opened at 8:30 Saturday morn ing, closing at 4 o'clock. The rules governing the show were recently published in detail in The News. Richard Payne, state horticulturist, has promised to be here and judge the fruit and assist exhibitors in mak ing the best display of their products. It is his purpose to take some of . the HANSON WIN GOLF TROPHY It takes just one stroke to win a golf trophy and that lucky stroke Monday, in the contest for the Ki wanis cup on the Stoney Mountain course, was played by A. R. Hanson. Dr. R. C. Sample was the loser. Both played superb golf, and on the 9th hole the golfers were nip and tuck. The ownership of the cup was de cided on the 10th hole. The medal score was 47 and 48, both players having excelled their former records. Both are consistent golfers. A large gallery followed the game. Mr. Hanson's name will be engraved on the cup and the formal presenta tion will jtake place in a week or so during one of the Kiwanis lunch eons. Stoney Mountain's interest has eat en heavily into the sporting bones of many Hendersonville men and wo men, and their visiting friends, dur ing the past several weeks. Two tournaments have been played, and the evening shadows daily fall men acingly upon large numbers of play ers. So great is the interest in "gawf ing," in fact, that nearly all the deal ers in sporting goods Monday had sold every ball in their stores. No point in Scotland is more than 40 miles from sea water.

Mr. Simmons of Charlotte, who is well versed in the matter of judging poultry, will act as judge for the lo- cal show.. Mr. Simmons is recognized as a high authority on poultry and holds a license as judge from the American Poultry Association. The "foreword" of the premium list just issued contains the following relative to the ambitions of those in terested in poultry raising and fruit growing in Henderson county: "Through the medium of the ex hibits both in poultry and apples, the Better Poultry Association of Hen derson County seeks to stimulate a greater interest in the care of these two industries whereby a greater pleasure and profit will be the re ward. "We do not seek to encourage the large poultry farm so much as we de sire to promote the small farm flock and better methods of handling it since by the multitude of small flocks and not by the few individual large producers will the volume of produc tion be measured in the main. We hope the exhibits will be the means of encouraging us all to use more care in the production of pure bred poul try and cause us to make a special effort to eliminate the scrubs and supplant them with strong, vigorous, W. R. HOOTS SAYS HENDERSON C'NTY NEEDS FORESTER (By W. R. Hoots) Every individual owes a great debt to mother nature for providing the forests including trees, shrubs, flow ers, air, and water. The people of Henderson county owe a still greater debt, because these things are handed out to us in a little better style than to other sections of the country. And we seldom have due appreciation for these gifts. We gather in bodies to worship the Divinity that makes these things but we fail to love much of His handi work. What use are the forests? The trees and shrubs protect the water sheds. They spread a spongy carpet over the ground that absorbe water, prevents it from flowing away or evaporating. Also this carpet prevents the soil from being washed into the streams and contaminating the water pure fresh water. The trees and shrubs are largely responsible. Then in the process of breathing, the trees expel ozone into the air. Fresh mountain air filled with ozone. This is probably what makes the southern visitors eat,v sleep, and for get about indigestion. Continued on Page .) Only Kepublican JtJ IK CT! 3!

"In Jthe exhibits of apples we seek to promote the industry in general, and bring to the attention of apple growers the fact that only through high-efass products can a sure, . and profitable- market be secured. We wish to encourage better care of the trees and better care in handling the apples. Spraying, pruning and all the hard work that goes with the produc tion end of the game is in a large measure lost by poor packing and handling. "The exhibitors of apples, as is the case with poultry exhibitors, will en deavor to present to the public and patrons of the show their products in sucli a form both in quality and pack as will demonstrate the possibilities in this county and Western North Carolina, in this branch of agricul ture. "The Better Poultry Association be lieves that in poultry and apples there is a surer source of profit than in any other lines in the agricultural field adaptable to this section, and that by proper cooperation and push these two industries will take the front rank not only in Henderson county but in the whole of Western North Carolina, and it pledges itself so long as it be in existence to use every ef fort in its power to promote the speedy realization of this result. NURSES ARE I SESSION HERE The nurses of Western North Car olina convened this afternoon at the high school building in monthly ses sion. About 30 nurses were expected from 18 counties. Dr. W. R. Kirk' addressed the nurses, who have been meeting reg ularly in Asheville but who for the Urst time have departed from that custom and selected Hendersonville as their meeting place for this month. Hendersonville People Attend State Meeting Of Parent-Teachers Mesdames Broaddus Estes, F. A. Ewbank, O. A. Meyer, J C. Waldrop, and Supt. A. W.

Farmers' Federation Commends This County We learn with much pleasure that aunronriations have been made to ward the, establishment of a county -!ger!t at Hendersonville. C. C. Prof nt, district agent for Western North Carolina states that the department is only waiting to secure the right nan for this place. . The county farm agents have done iiuch toward developing the agricul tural ro?s bilities of sect-'ons where 'he" have workpd The pgent offers he assistance of an expert in various Mnes of farm work which most farm ers could not get in any other way. we believe the farm agent nas come ';o stay because he has proven his worh wherever he has worked. Henderson county can benefit great ly by the introduction of agricultural tension work. With the agent to j ring in more efficient methods in agriculture there, prosperity must in tense manv fold. The Federation will probably soon be in a position to aid in solving the marketing prob lem in Henderson, as well as in Bun combe, with a warehouse now under construction at Fletcher and the pos sibility of another warehouse some where in Henderson county. All in all, we congratulate Henderson on the new sign of its progressive spirit (Continued on Page 3.) ecieu NEAR 1,000: REPUDIATE RULE OF 1Y AND AID DEMOCRATS Democrats Win All Offices for First Time in Many Years The democrats of Henderson county yesterday won the greatest victory of half a century, sweeping the entire ticket into office by flattering majori ties. Republican leaders conceded their defeat even before the polls closed, having seen the handwriting on the wall for the past few weeks. j The uncontrollable defections in the party ranks led to their ignom inious downfall and only one repub lican will hold office in the county, th's being Judge C M. Pace, against whom no candidate was named by the democrats. While the republican leaders con ceded defeat early in the evening in the receipt of slow returns they held rat faint hepe, but all the returns pro'ed nore discouraging throughout the evening and the report from each box Indicated a larger majority for vne ueuiuurats ana a nopeiess cause. for the republicans. The pollholders of the West Hen dersonville precinct did not finish counting, the votes until about mid night, at which time the republicans had deserted their quarters ancUIook ei for the comforts of home. Republicans received the . returns at their headquarters on Main street, where they received not only local but telegraphic reports. Democrats maintained headquarters in the city hall. Mitchell's Battery and Tire Service station received radiophone messages during the evening and the Queen theatre also flashed returns on the screen. Each place had a group of "ollowers and the republican and democratic headquarters for the even ing were crowded, there-being quite a number of women at the republican gathering. Election day passed quietly, there being no marked disorder. Hard and persistent work was ren dered by both republican and dem ocrats, who took many of the voters to the polls. Republicans met discouragement ?arly in the day at some of their strongest voting precincts by reason of the fact that many of the voters who heretofore were staunch party . supporters refused to visit the polls nd it was generally understood be orehand that many of those who did not attend would mutilate their tick ets to a great extent by the degree n which they "scratched." The independent vote made so by Tiscontent, disorder and general reet essness and many times larger than anv t:rne s!nce the Civil War, re sulted m the sweeping democratic "ictory. Voters who,had clung to the party or a quarter ofa century or 'more, scratched the republicans while thers swung their support over to he demo ratic column. the exception of Clear Creek - - a. i returns were re.'o vert -or- "ii t-e precincts, givirp; d?mo - 1 - --ities that ranged from 33 to 07.

Indications are that some the dem ocrats will be elected by a majority ranging around 1,000. The normal (Continued on Face 8.)
