What is the population of Hen
Hendrsonvillef We don't know. If we did know,
the governmeni could ave th ex
pense of making the enumeration.
The official count will take place in
about three months,- and in the
meantime, one man's guess counts
for as much' as another's.
' For several years" various towns
and cities have! been making big
claims. They will keep .on making
them untU lar few minutes before
the returns are published, and then
there will be a slump. ...
Below1 we publish estimates made
by six of our acquaintances, five
men and a 'rlsherman. ; The fisher
man's estimate is fwild and wooly.
The other five are based on facts
which have more or less bearing cn

A joint meeting of the county
teachers and , the Anti-tuberculosis
association will be held at the court
house Saturday, January 22, ' at 11
o'clock. A cordial invitation is ex

Dr. Arthur R. Guerard of ;Flat
Rock will deliver an address on the
subject of tuberculosis.
The work of the association is of
the utmost importance to the com
munity and is largely" educational
in its nature. Tuberculosis is a
disease which has killed countless
thousands; but a large proportion
of these deaths could have been
prevented with comparative ease if
the general public had been in po
ssession of certain elementary facts
with regard to the disease In the
work of imparting this simple but
valuable knowledge, the .'public
school teachers have an important
and very obvious responsibility. '

It is not only better but also a very
great deal easier.
of Hendersonyille's. present papola
tion. I don t know; I can only
guess; and the only way! can form
an estimate is to judge from known
facts in. the past. The population
in 1890 was, J thinky l$0rrahd c in
1900 it was 1,917, ; That is an . in-
crease of about 53 per cent in ten
years. Comparatively few towns
can .keep up; that rate of growth for
a second decade, but I. believe Hen
dersonyille has done it Adding
53 per cent to i 1,917 , gives, . 2,933.

B's Estimate
I have seen A's figures and think
he is on the right track; but there
is one modification which, oulit to
beTmadei Hendersonville ;did not
grow much, if at all, during Cleve
land's administration; it, grew in
1890-91, then stood still, and its
next growth, began when McKinley
was elected. Therefore the. growth
of 53 per : cent between 1890 and
1900 was the work of six' years, riot
of -ten. . At the same r ratio, ten
years growth would be 88 - per cent
Adding 88 per cent to 1917 we get
