Shall Hendersonvillehave a Lyce
um course this winter? If you are
interested in this matter, go and see
Judge Blythe about it
.. Judge Blythe has been looking
into the matter and now has it un
der consideration. He says that if
he can obtain reasonable support
and encouragement he will bring a
good Lyceum course here. The at
tractions he has in mind are of a
high quality and will be well the
effort required to obtain them.
The rush of summer is over. Now
is the time to think about the win
ter. If a good Lyceum course ap
peals to you, go and talk to Judge
Blythe.

Special Correspondence of The Times.
Old Fort, Sept 28. McDowell
county republicans held their con
vention last week and nominated
their county ticket The nomina
tions were as follows: D. G. Taylor
of Dysartsville for the legislature;
P. H. Mashburn of Old Fort'for sher
iff; J. A Langbridge of Marion for
treasurer; L W. Williams, Lee Chap
man, G. WJ Conley ftp county com
missioners.
We think that we have a winning
ticket ; I know it to be. a good one.
They are all good substantial citi
zens and men of ability. Three of
them (Messrs. Mashburn, Lang-
bridge and Jones) are the present
incumbents of the offices to which
they have been nominated for re
election.
We expect to give Hon. John G.
Grant a good substantial majority in
this county. The outlook is good to
carry the county tor tne wnoie
ticket. I see Mr. Crawford is tak
ing the back track of Mr. Grant over
here to see his "ignorant country
people;" but I don't think he will be
able to undo the work already done
by Mr. Grant
There was quite a crowd here
Sarurday night to hear the Bryan
graphophone speeches; but they are
mistaken when they think that they
can accomplish anything by this
method of campaign. The republi
cans will do their effective work
another way, and succeed. Stand
ard Oil, Foraker and Haskell did
Bryan up pretty well this last week ;
and now we only wait for the votes
to be counted, and nearly all demo
crats will be glad Taft is elected as
he is sure to be on the third of No
vember. A. J. D.

Hendersonville, N. C.
Democratic
Conyention
A small number of Bryan's fol
lowers in Hendersoa county, met in
rnnvention in the court house here
Tuesday at eleven o'clock and placed
upon 1 the altar, for slaughter on the
third, of November, .the following
lambs: A. Cannon for the house.;
V. C. V. Shepherd for sheriff; J. R.
Wilkie for register of deeds; Sam
Y. Bryson for surveyor; U P.' Rus
sell for coroner; S. J. -Justice, Pres
ton Fletcher and G. B. Hill for com-Tnic;ioners.
It had been published that Locke
rvaid would address the convention,
and it was understood that the band
would play, and much effort had
been put forth to have a big attend
anPP at the convention. The "band
did not play and Mr; Craig failed to
put in an appearance, and when all
had assembled the court house was
nnlv'about half fiUed with people.
The convention was not marked by
any great outbursts of entnusiasm,
and the ticket namea, or ai least a
nnrtinn of it is not at aU satisfac-
toryWso it . is said, to a number of
democrats m uxc uuiy, w
predicted now that the repubheans
wiU carry the county this year by
at least five Kindred majority. ,
Rules of
Registration
The registration books for the gen
eral election will be opened October
1 at 9 o'clock and will remain open
until October 24, just twenty days,
excluding Sundays. In response to
an inquiry sent him by State Sec
retary Alex J. Reid, Assistant At
torney General Hayden Clement has
made the following ruling on this
matter
"Replying to your favor request
an opinion as to-when the registra
tion books s hould be open and
closed for the general election to be
held in November, I beg to state
that under and by virtue of the re-
visal, section 4293, the general elec
tion will be held on Tuesday, the
3rd day of November, 1908. Now
section 4323 of the revisal provides:
That the registration books hall be
closed for registration at sunset on
the second Saturday before the elec
tion.' The second Saturday before
November 3 is October 24. There
fore, the registration books should
close at sunset on Saturday, October
24. Section 4323 of the revisal
further provides that the books shall
be kept open between the hours of
9 o'clock a. m: and sunset on each
day, Sunday excepted, for twenty
days preceding the day for closing
the registration books. Counting
then twenty days from Saturday,
October 24, 1908, excluding Sun
days, would make the time for
opening the registration books the
first day of October, 1908, at 9
o'clock a. m., making in all twenty-
one days for the registration books
to be opened."

Special Correspondence of The Times
Columbus, N. C-, Sept. 28, 1908.
A large, enthusiastic and repre
sentative body of citizens met here
today in the republican county con
vention, and a better ticket of capa
ble, sober men was never placed be
fore the voters of Polk county than
the present republican ticket.
Before going into convention C.
F. Toms of Hendersonville, our
next lieutenant-governor, spoke to
a large and enthusiastic audience,
defineing the principles of the re
publicanism in the state and Nation.
Mr. Toms is one of the most elo
quent and able speakers in the
state. His speech was on a high
plane, convincing, and of such a
character that no one could take
offence. He made many "warm
friends in Polk and will be well
supported on the third of Novenv
ber.
After the speech of Mr. Toms,
the delegates went into convention
and a more harmonious and con
siderate convention was never held
in Polk county. '
J. C. McFarland a broad-minded,
well posted and capable man is the
nominee for representative. Mr.
McFarland has ably represented
this county three times in the legis
i i i ii .
laiure apa mere is no man more
highly esteemed in , Raleigh than
Mr. McFarland during his previous
terms.
W. C. Newman, one of Polk coun
ty's most popular and able men, is
the nominee for sheriff. He will
be elected and will make a sheriff
the people of the., county will , .be
proud Of. " - V . -. v;'.;p
James Jackson, the present treas
urer, was nominated for register of
deeds. Mr. Jackson'has made such
a good record as treasurer of the
county that his party wished to ele
vate him to a higher position.
Patterson Arledge, one of Polk's
most substantial men, was nomi
nated for treasurer. The balance of
the ticket was rilled by men of
honor and ability. The present
board of county commissioners,
C. A. Carson, D. Conner and J. L.
Jackson, were all renominated.
Polk county has never had a better
board of county commissioners than
the uresent occunants. Thpir
. vf?-'- '
iministratioh has been of such
careful handling of the county
affairs that the county is in the
finest financial condition it has
baen for year?.

The famous
: Dear Friends: I see the demo
cratic paper of Brevard has attacked
your nominee for sheriff very severe
ly. Now, as a republican, and one
who knows Will Smith, I wish to
give you this as f encouragement;
and J stand back of every wor'd that
I gay, and if that is not sufficient
five hundred good republicans in
Jackson county will endorse what
I am going to say about him. The
democrats in Transylvania county
seem to he a little sore, and Will is
doing just what we who knew him
in his school days thought that he
would do. He is "sprinkling salt on
the sore.
