BROOMJACTORY Money for the Farmers A Profitable Industry for Hen derson County We are glad to publish the fol lowing communication which re lates to a matter of great impor tance to the farmers : The farmers, not , only of this section but many others as well, do not seem to realize the fact thai, a small fortune lies awaiting them in raising broom corn. It is a weil known fact that the greatest broom corn country in the United States, or even in all the world, is Oklahoma. There, fighting drought and intense heat, the farmers raise immense crops of broom straw annuallv, thereby furnishing almost all of that coun try with brooms. One. of the most 'prominent seed houses in the South states that bot h the, Dwarf broom corn, the seed ot which thev import direct from m a . and the Improved Ev ergreen broom corn, will do well in this part of North Carolina. lioth of these varieties have their arl vantages. The Dwarf is very early, strong, extremely pro ductive and has long well fibered brush. Its average height is about five feet, which makes the brush pulling very easy. Another reason for its popularity is that if the stalks are cut immediately; after the brush has been nulled, they make most excellent feed for cartle. On the -o-ther hand the 'improved 'Evergreen although it; produces the finest brush, which. t i 1 vures out a ereenisn color, .aim. brings the highest market price, is not nearly so foady nor can it! stand the drought that the Dwarf can. Taking it from the profit point of view : An acre of corn may Wring its $15 but iore likely only $10, while ten to eighteen hun dred pounds of straw can be puH ed from' an acre of land much noorer than the r&na on wnicn ie corn was raised. At the present time the market s price for A 1 broom straw is u-k cents per nound : conseauently an acre would bring from $75 to $135. BETTER THAN LAST TEAR Concert Was a Success The Choral Society i a Credit to Hendersonville The great drawback about es tablishing a high standard is the difficulty of maintaining it; but the Hendersonville Choral society has not only maintained, it has decidedly surpassed, the high standard set last year. The ex cellence of the first annual con cert given about ten months ago was a welcome surprise ; but las! week's, concert was decidedly heiter. The first number of the pro gram was a series of operatic airs beautifully rendered by the violin quartette, Mrs. G. Oolton and Misses Annie Smith, Edna Hart and Eva Smith. Mis. Col ton is a very valuable leader and the other members also did admir able work. The violin quartette appeared asrain in Part. II, and that number also was very well rendered and enthusiastically re ceived. The encore given in re sponse was bright and catchy. The beautiful solo, "Angel's Serenade," ably rendered by Mrs. Pless, was a real treat to all, and its beauty was greatly "enhanced by the violin obligato by Miss Edna Hart. The trio, "Waves of i he Sea," by Mrs. Pless, Miss Rosa Few and Mr. Pless, was very effective. The chorus work showed a great improvement upon last year's ("im. "Four choruses were given. n e rst.

Ciro Pinsnti's was rendered in fine tempo, but needed more volume. 'I he -second, Bishop's "Tramp o'er jVJoss and Fell,7' was the iiiaster- piece of the evening m choral work, the broken time and intri cate solo work- demanding a thorough knowledge of ensemble siagrwig:. Of a very different style but equally effective was the beautiful trio and chorus, "For Thee, 0 Dear, Dear Coun try.," from A. R. -Gaul's cantata, "the Holy City." The closing number on the program was Sul livan's uTbe Lost Chord." The male quartette, Messrs. 'Pless, Boyd, Thomas and Still well, did good work, and their second selection received more applause than any other number on the program. The attendance and the finan cial outcome were better than had been expected. The hall was well theated and .every effoVt was made to -ensure the comfort of the audience. The concert was tt-eees8 ia .every way ; it was a performance that would do credit to much larger tows.

Mr. Hearst exerts a hundred fold the influence in the party that Mr. Cleveland does. There are few thiugs that can be predicted with more certainty than that in the next democratic convention the . radicals will sweep everything before them, on a platform demanding municipal own ership of public utilities; and it is by no means unlikely that the platform will contain a clause looking to gov ernmental monopoly of the coal traf fic Washington Post.
