THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1906. A WOftD TO REPUBLICANS ' A NUMBEfc of residents of Polk county are not subscribing for the Polk County News because m - the publishers are not of the same political faith as thenqff selves. When approached they give the old excuse of not being able to afford it. This will not go any longer. Polk county has had prosper ous seasons for two years and everybody has money". The publishers have just as much right to adhere to Democratic as they to Republican principles, personally, but the Polk County News is independent, and not a party organ in any sense. It is conducted for the good of the whole people of . the county. The legal business' is given to this paper almost exclusively regardless of the administration. A man, without politichl or re ligious convictious would be a nonentity but he should not be so narrow as to carry his polit ical prejudices into the church or business as do some in this county. He demands the privilege of differing from us and he should accord us the same, but this difference of opinion should not be carried so far as to prevent him from doing business with us The Polk County JNews is making preparations, to handle the county campaign and elec tion this year better than ever before. The news will be fully nd impartially told and every one -who is interested should have the paper. EDISON IN COLUMBUS. TRYON HAPPENINGS. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Taxes Levied And Warrants Drawn.

Thomas A. Edison, the Elec trical Wizard, and his automobile prospecting party of five from Orange, N. J. , came into Colum bus Saturday night at dark in two fifteen horse power White Steam Touring Cars and spent the night afc thes Columbus Hotel. They camefrom Rutherfordton. In the "party were Thomas A. Edisorf, John V. Milter, Fred Ott, Geo. Poppa and John Morris. When seen by a representative of The News Mr. Edison said he was on a prospecting trip in North Carolina hunting for cobalt to use in perfecting his high power dry battery for auto- 1 1 mobile trucks and drays. He said that he found traces of cobalt and any number of other menerals and metals in North Carolina but as yet had not been able to find any of the mineral he wanted in deposits heavy enough to mine. j. Mr. Edison said thfs was his first trip to Western North Carolina although he, had visited the Charlotte sectioft about fif- teen .years igo.. When masked his opinion of our mountain scehtry his rep! .was rather vague. He seemedrto1be so busy hunting for cobalt that he- did not notice the scenery. . How do- you get across the deep streams, he was asked? "Well," he said, if they are not too wide we get up steam and ruslfacross, then fire up again." Mr. Edison is about sixty years old. His hair is white and when sitting he appears old- er, but when he gets up and moves around is very active and seems , much younger, as he is clean shaven. Mr. Edison said there was abundant water power in this section and when told of the electric road project seemed much interested and remarked that there was no reason why. it should not be a success. The party left Sunday morning for Henderson ville and Toxaway via Howard Gap Road. They carry a complete camp- ng outfit and camp out at night fall if they are out of reach of hotel accommodations.
