Editor Times;
l Referring to editorial in last issue
"ohe. Times in regard to the nec
essity of establishing an express
office on Main street, ; I wish to
stdte that while in some instanced
it might be more convenient- to
have an up town office, to a! good
portion of our patrons the present
location, is t more convenient. The
greater portion of- our business.
from a. revenue standpoint, is de
riyed from the shipments of vege;
tables and produce and owing to the
wekanbulk
u- would be very . incpnyemept ..to
the shippers and to the company to
undertake to handle them from an
up town office, to say nothing of
the 'increased expense that would
necessarily follow. We are endeav
oring to give a good and accommo
dating service by the immediate
delivery of all matter received for
persons-- living within ' the city
limitsiahd so far have been able to
handle the business and keep down
complaints to a very low minimum.
For the- further convenience of
the public1 we have now instructed
our-man on the 'express -wagon to
calf 'for packages - to be shipped by
express from the business section of
M ain street, and , within the next
few days ach "of our patrons in
this section will be supplied with a
placard toibe used as a signal for
the wagon to stop and call for same.
; I trusat this will improve the
service materially and that same
will be satisifactory until our city
grows larger and the average vol
ume of busmess will justify a better
and more expensive service.

The Hendersonville graded school
building is a, massive, structure of
granite built half a century . ago.
in strengtn and simple dignity ot
design, it is a magnificent piece of
work, butit is utterly unfitted for
It consists of an assembly room
of noble proportions surrounded by
a number of bedrooms. In order to
use these bedrooms for school
rooms, partition walls have to be
removed. But one third of the
building is so constructed that the
partitions cannot be removed; and
therefore the rapidly growing school,
which needs all the space in the
building, has to crowd its pupils in
to two-thirds of the space.
At the request of the chairman
of the school board, a representa
tive of The Times inspected the
building this week. He found the
conditions as follows:
The chapel, 39 x 44 ft and 20 ft
high, is used for the high school
(116 pupils). There are also two
recitation rooms for this depart
ment, one of them on the third
floor thus necessitating, at short
intervals, noisy trips Of $0 or 40
students up and down two 'flights of
stairs. The rooms used by the rest
of the school are given in the follow
ing table:
Grade Dimensions of Rooms Population
6 and 7 19x41xll ft 71
2 and 5 19 x 28 x 9 ft 72
3 and 4 19 x 15 x 8 ft 39
