Ray Writes
Editor Times:
- ffevu.accoinpTishedTOy purpose
to have our democratic platform
published so that the voters of the
county might know the principles
therein declared for and my further
purpose of calling attention to the
attempted fraud on the democratic
party by the Hustler, that "uninten
tional mix-up pied" paper of un
known political faith published in
Hendersonville, edited by a republi
can and doing valant service to the
republican party in season and out
I should have troubled you no
further fbrspace in your paper, but
for the insinuated statement in the
Mustier that I was about to join the
republican party.
The writer of that sauib, the
assistant editor, who is a republican
and does not deny it, had no other
reason for writing and publishing it
than a malicious desire to do me an
injury. From a man's soul his
mouth speaketh and his pen writeth
and if this man wishes thus to dis
play himself, I can only say that
for him I have the profoundest
pity.
I live no false pretenses either in
my private or public life and should
the time ever come when I thought
the enforcement of the" principles
advocated by the republican party
better for the country than those
advocated by the democratic party,
I should have the manhood to say
so and not only to say so but to go
over to that party openly and help
with my vote and such influence as
I might have to enforce the appli
cation of those principles in our
government One of the many
things that I am not is a coward
and another is a republican though
I do not mean hereby to compare
the two. When! feel that! can
pmhrace the DrihciDles necessary to
become one, both or either of these
I shall announce the .same to the
public and apply to , the Hustler
corporation for k positibiT on that
pape IV ; vi. ciri McD. Ray:
the paper out EARLIER than
usual ; but the company from
which we get power to run
our machinery had another
breakdown and delayed us
greatly. We have no doubt
that the delay is annoying to
you; but it is a heap more an
noying to us.
New Ordinance
A meeting of the town council
was held Tuesday night. Bids for
the construction of a bridge over
Wash creek were opened. On mo
tion f W. C. Rector all bids were
rejected and it was ordered that
the town construct the bridge.
The following ordinance was un
animously adopted:
"Be it ordained by the Board of
Commissioners of the town of Hen
dersonville, that any person or per
sons to ride, pull, push or drive any
express wagon or other wheeled
vehicle whatever, except baby car
nages, or to skate or walk with
stilts, on any of the sidewalks of
the town of Hendersonville, is de
clared a nuisance, and any person
or persons violating this ordinance
shall, upon conviction thereof by
the mayor, forfeit and. pay a fine of
$10."
A large amount of routine busi
ness was transacted. The expected
discussion of the so-called "Blue
Laws" did not take place.

interest:

Magistrate Wetmore, charging him
with being a fugitive from justice.
There is also a warrant, it isunder-
stood for him in North Carolina
charging him with grand larceny.

shop, at 134 East Main street and a

ty". The watch mentioned above, is
part of the stock stolen from W. H.
