Questions
Editor-Times: . .
I beg that you allow me space in
your paper to ask the board of town
commissioners a few questions, as
follows: - -v. "
1. What is the matter that the
work on the sidewalks is not being
pushed along this fine weather?
2. What is it costing the taxpay
ers per day to pay the surveyors

4. If the work of putting down
the amount of sidewalks planned
for, cannot be proceeded with now,
would it not be wise and proper to
loan the $20,000, now in hand for
street improvement purposes, for a
few months and apply the inter
est toward paying for the street
survey?
5. Since $20,000 worth of side
walk bonds were sold and the mon
ey therefor obtained about the mid
dle of January, would it not be bet
ter to have the the twenty thousand
dollars worth of sidewalks built
now, instead of having the streets
and sidewalks torn up and more or
less obstructed by the contractors
and their materials during the sum
mer months? W. C. Rector.

The republican convention of the Tenth district of
North Carolina, which will be held at Asheville Saturday,
April 2, will be an occasion of very great interest. Ad
dresses will be madS by three congressmen of national rep
utation, Hon. Duncan E. McKinley, representative from
the Second district of California; Hon. Adna P. Johnson,
representative from the Tenth district of Ohio; and Hon.
John G. Grant, representative from the Tenth district of
North Carolina.
A large attendance is expected. The republicans cf
this district are proud of the record made by their congress
man, and a number of democrats admit that Mr. Grant is
the best representative the district has ever had.

Hendersonville is preparing to welcome the good
roads convention which will meet here Wednesday, March
30. Sessions will be held in the court house morning
and afternoon. State Geologist Pratt will preside.
A meeting was held Wednesday night and various
committees were appointed to make the necessary ar
rangements for the convention. Delegates will come from
ajiumber of town and counties; and in addition to the
appointed delegates we hope to see as many citizens as
possible from every town and county affected by the pro
posed roads. Hendersonville extends a cordial welcome
to ail. (Asheville, Spartanburg, Qreenyille, Tryon, Ruth
erford ton and Shelby papers please copy.)
Among local delegates who have already been ap
pointed are: W A. Smith and J. Williams for Henderson
county; J. O. Bell for Green River township; H. M. Roberts
for Hooper's Creek township; A. Cannon for Henderson
ville township. "
ine ionowing statement oy state ueolotist rratt is
of interest:
No county or township should be
come discouraged on account of the
number of mile3 of road that it is
necessary for them to construct,
nor should their enthusiasm be
dampened by the present bad con
dition of their roads, which may
seenTto indicate to them that it is
an impossible feat to construct the
system of roads advocated. I am
confident that we can. build this
system of roads and that we will
build, them. The Highway Division
of the North Carolina Geological
and Economic survey will do its
utmost to make a complete survey
of the highways proposed, and draw
up plans and specifications for their
construction, showing their location
and grade; how to surface them,
and what materials to use. Some
of the roads may be macadamized,
others will be surfaced with sand
clay, and still others with gravel.
The i "exact location., of these Tbads,
cannot be known definitely until
the survey has been made, although
it is known approximately." As thus
far worked out there will- be of the

We have received very numerous
inquiries in the fast few weeks with
regard to the street sprinkler. A
good many pejple, ho had an old-!
fashioned notion that the object of
a street-sprinkler is to water the
streets in dusty weather, have been
asking (sometimes with almost
profane emphasis) Why that ma
chine is not used. The say that the
taxpayers paid gcod money for it
and that some use ought to be made
o it
It is always a pleasure to be able
to answer questions, and we have
made a careful investigation of this
matter in order to allay the growing
indignation of the" long-suffering
public. After studying the Revised
Statutes, the constitution of the
United States and of North Caro
lina and of the board o! aldermen,
Hicks' almanac the Nautical
Ephemeris and other high-priced
publications, we have unani
mousl reached the conclusion that
the explanation is as follows.
passing The street spripkler is an object of
extraordinary beauty ana attrac
tiveness, and needs constant , and
loving care. Jt cannot be taken
out in bright weather for fear it
might get sun-burned; in partly ;
cloudy weather it ;has to be kept
mdodrs; for fear it might get freck
lecl; and in rainy "weather there is
no, need'qfa sprinkler: , : 'J.I
11 Welnrst -this explanation J will
give entire satisfaction.
