Causes Very, Heavy Loss at
Saluda
At a late hour Tuesday evening
a destructive fire occured at Saluda,
destroying one block in the business
part of the town. The loss is es
timated at $20,000 or more, - not
covered by insurance.
The fire, whose cause is unknown,
is believed to have started in S, D.
Staton's store building, and when
discovered, had progressed too far to
be controlled. The stores of S. D.
Staton and Thorne &. Boone, Q. C.
Sonner's warehouse and L. M. Tin-er-s
shoe shop were destroyed. Mr
Staton's loss' is probably between
$5,000 and $6,000.
Universal sympathy is felt here
for the men who have lost so heav-
Uy, by the . fire. ..They., are well
known business men and leading
citizens of Saluda., Mr. Staton is a
brother of fc H., B. F. and D. S.
Staton of Hendersonville.
TAFT MKES
BRYAN
And Favors Him for the
State Legislature
Taf t has - always thought very
highly of Bryan and this good opin
ion continUesto grow. We are not
speaking of the President or the
orator from Nebraska; we are speak
irig of the thriving little town of
Taft, S. C, and its most prominent
citizen, W. D. Bryan, who arrived in
Hendersonville last week.
Mr. Bryan has been coming to
Hendersonville every summer for
several years and owns some at
tractive property in the northwest
part of this city.. He ' .has many
friends here and is exceedingly pop
ular in his home town. He has
been an efficient member of the
South Carolina legislature and his
fellow citizens are anxious to re
elect him.
During the last campaign, the
people of Taft, who are democrats,
learned with dismay that a man
who was named for their town was
running for President on the repub
lican ticket. They talked of starting
a movement to have the name of
that burg changed from Taft to
Bryan ; and when they talk of Bryan
down there, they mean W. D. of
South Carolina, not W. J. of Ne
braska.
Speak easy patrons often are loud
mouthed.
A pleasant thought that is told is
-Ihfittfir than a t1 eapanter one unsaid.

Elected State Chairman by Ac
clamation at the Great Con
vention at Greensboro
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Greensboro, Aug. 10. The state republican conven
tion, a gigantic gathering which surpassed all of its
predecessors in size, in vitality and in representative char
acter, has elected as state chairman John Motley More-
head, the business man who redeemed the Fifth district in
the face of an enormous democratic majority. Morehead
was put forward for the state chairmanship as the choice
of the rank and file otthe party; and the rank and file
captured the convention, and with a wave of enthusiasm
brushed away those who had previously been in control,
and installed a new man as the harbinger of a new day.
Twelve hundred intensely earnest delegates and two
thousand spectators, assembled in a metal-roofed struct
ure which intensified the awful heat of sultry Greensboro,
almost forgot their physical sufferings in the absorbing in
terest with which they followed every stage of the great
battle. Eech side had claimed victory; the credential
committee was eight to two for Duncan; but when the
first test vote was taken (on the election of a chairman
for the convention) the Morehead men were successful by
737 to 378. v,-
The victory was complete. When the time came to
elect a state chairman, Duncan's nome was withdrawn by
his followers and Morehead was elected by acclamatiou.
Nominations for state officers were made as follows:
For the supreme court, T. T. Hicks for chief justice and E.
W. Timberlake and Harry Skinner for assistance justices;
James H. White and C. M. Hoover for corporation com
missionprs. . .
The platform contianed a ringing declaration for
local self-government.
The revolution which was effected was a peaceful rev
olution. Feeling ran high but the convention ended in a
love feast. Morehead's speech of acceptance was praised
even by those who had fiercely opposed his election. The
platform adopted is an able document which rings true to
republican principles.

Road
ork
The county road force, otherwise
known as the chain-gang, is still at
at work in Hooper's Creek township.
And some persons are wondering
why it is there. To this natural
question the county road supervisor
gives a an equally natural answer.
Long ago he announced that work
would be done first where the big
gest inducements were offered. The
people interested in the road from
Fletchers to Fruitland offered work
and material to the value of $400;
therefore that road, vas worked
Then persons interested in the road
from Fletcher to the Buncombe line
put up $700 or. $800 (including a
check for $100 from a resident of
Asheville, Dr. Hall Fletcher). There
fore that road is being worked now.
Some people act as if they plan
ned their own pedigrees.
