ROGERS. As" the people of Henderson county are coming to know Carroll P. Rogers better, as the campaign progresses they are convinced that the Democratic party made a wise choice in selecting film as their candidate for the legislature. Mr. Rogers is a man of broad expedience.

When the splen- did graded school was established at East Flat Rock, there were none who worked harder, contributed more liber ally or offered wiser counsel than Mr. Rogers, and at all times he is standing for the promotion of everything which will -make life more worth living for the entire community. He is an enthusiast for good roads, better schools and better ehurches.

-It is not surprising, therefore, that receive enough Republican and inde- pendent votes to make his majority a safe one. iofc of tli6 World Had a DeHQhtfuI Banquet JOHN T. WILKINS.
