Hendersonvllle, N. C, Aug. 20.--A man who has traveled largely was heard to remark a few days aKO that Hendersonvllle was the "play ground of the south." To sec the crowds daily pouring into this little city set upon a plateau among the most glorious mountains of the "Land of the Sky" is to fully believe this statement. The hotel hacks and carriages, which meet each train, carry back thef full load of passengers. It seems that every hotel and boarding house is full. Certainly the St. John Hotel ever enjoyed a greater pop ularity. Formerly known mi The Gates it has been for some time tne leading hotel of Hendersonvllle. A handsome building of pebble stucco, so popular .in this section of the country, with wide, well shaded verandas, it is well situated on te Main street, right in the heart of the business section. A part of Hendersonville's "Great White Way," the crowds continually surge past its doors. A seat on the piazza offers one plenty of amuse ment and the seats are never long vacant. Under the proprietorshop of .'St. John and Son the hotel this sum mer is more popular even :han in former years. They have had wide experience in the hotel business and are past masters in the art of caring for their guests. The hotel lobby, itself a cheerful and attractive sit ting room, presents an animated and home-like appearance. Erson's orchestra plays during the weal hours and during the evenings and the music adds much to the pleasure of life in the hotel. Horse back riding, motoring and driving are favorite pasttlmes. while many spend their mornings play ing cards, reading or in various ways that suit the fancy. la the evenings the ball room clalma the larger share of the crowd. Among the guests are . few more energetic ones, who finding the charm of the mountains rcsistlesj, armed with kodaks and alpenstodes, spend the mornings tramping over the mountain roads and climbing to giddy- heights where a georgjus panorama of mountain peaks and fertile valleys Is the reward. Miss Susan Iden, society editor of The Raleigh Times, and Mlta Mattle Culpepper, of Wilson, who are guests at the St. John, have been declared the champion walkera of the hotel. They had not been guests at the hotel many days before they had discovered many of the most beautiful of ,the mountain roads. Their latest feat was the trip to Jump Off Mountain, five m ilea dis tant from Hendersonvllle. Taking the dummy street car about 10:30 one morning they rode out to Laurel Park beginning the walk to Jump BEAUHES OF raws Wedding Bells ANNOUNCEMENTS, - INVITATIONS, CARDS, ENGRAVED IN VERT LATEST AND ?

Determined to sur prise their friends at the hotel by being back in time for lunch, the trip v,aa made in three hours, it be ing two o'clock exactly wnen they returned from the park. The mountain road beginning in a steep ascent in the park, leading through Fairy Lane, wound through a succession of beautiful shady glades, crossed now and then by gushing mountain streams of ice cold . water, Until at last tho goal was reached a great mass of rock at an altitude of 3,000 feet over hanging a valley of wondrcus beauty. The climb to the rock was a steep one but the view that wait ed at the top was well worth '.tie ef fort. A great panorama of moun tain peaks and ranges, with peace ful quiet valleys lay stretched out as far as the eye could reach. Mount Pisgah, Hog Back and even the far distant peak of Mount Mitchell may be distinguished, while just below is the French Broad valley. Ibis is one of the most accessible points of interest around Hendersonvllle and the trampers came back en thusiai'Vc. Their stay had been shortened on the rock by the heav; cloud approaching in the valley arid, the continual rumbling of thunder. They arrived at the hotel tired and Bunburned but delighted with the trip and what they had seen. At lunch the .great mass of wild flowers they had gathered along the road, graced the center of their table. More than a dozen different kinds, gorgeous tiger lilies, black eyed Susans, clematis, golden rod, daisies and many other less familiar blossoms made up a beautiful bou quet. Saturday and Sunday the St. John was filled to its utmojt capaci ty entertainine about 300 guests. .This is the most that have been reg istered at one time during me sum mer. The crowd is constantly changing, new guests arriving to take the places of those who are leaving, the greater number, howr ever being from South Carolina. The first question usually asked a stranger is "Are you from South Carolina?" It seems that South Carolina move up to the "Land of the Sky" for the summer moths. And a very wise move it is too, for a more beautiful land could not be found. BRIDE SAILS WITHOUT HIM Murray Consents to Her Trip Whi! He Resumes Seat in Congress. Boston, Aug. 20. Married Mon day, the bride of Congressman Wil liam F. Murray sailed Wednesday on the Cymric for Europe, while the congressman went to Washington to attend to his legislative duties.

Durham, Aug. 20. ijjijor W. A. Guthrie, former leader and warhorse of the populist party in North Caro lina, has again put on political armor and is now taking an active interest in the Bull Moose party. The major has just returned from a meeting of the state progressive oommittee where he took an active part, and he is enthusiastic over the showing that party is making in this state. He says that the new party will run miles ahead of the republican party ticket in North 'Carolina, but declined to make a statement as to its vote In compari son with that of the democrats, though one can tell from the major's talk that he expects his new love to make It interesting for the dom-, inant party at the November :' election.- The major is well versed in political lore, and knows many of the ins and outs of the game, but he has never deserted the ranks of populism which he championed near ly a score of years ago so fervently fn this sta. Dr. Mints to Leave. Dr. Edwin Minis, former profes sor of English at Trinity College, and up until the close of this year's work occupying that position at the University of North Carolina, now professor elect at English at Van derbilt University, delivered an ad dress to the Baracas and their friends at Trinity . Methodist church Sunday morning. He has a reputa tion throughout the south as one of the ablest lecturers, and an an nouncement that he is to speak al ways Insures a large audience for him. Sunday was no exception and he was heard by a packed house. He leaves this state in a short while for Vanderbllt, and it is with profound regret that his friends give him up to Tennessee. Little Clrl Improving. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Lanier who was acci dentally shot and seriously wound ed by a little playmate last Friday, is ntiorted to shpw signs of Im provement, and the attending doc tors have hopes of her ultimate re covery. No Drunks in Recorder's Court. For the first Monday in many months, or for that fact any other day, recorder's court docket did not have a drunk on it yesterday. There were seventeen cases and twenty three deferants, but not a one had the charge of drunkenness against him. The cases presented nothing unusual, being small affrays, crap shooters and others of this char acter, none of which merited more than a fine exceeding ten dollars. Hugging Cae In Court. A case Is set for trial today that will probably bring out some Inter esting and sensational evidence. A young man will be tried for hugging a young girl without her consent. Several cases of this kind have come up recently in the courts of other states and it has been held that it was a crime to hug a young lady without her consent. In the case that Is to be tried here today, may be, the young man had been paying court to the young woman for some time, and thinking his suit waa pro gressing satisfactorily, he attempt ed to hug her. She not only re sented these advances, but had a warrant issued for him on the charge of assault. Both sides have employed lawyers and a hot Oght la expected. Once In a great while love's labor is lost, but more often It is mis placed. "BUY IT IN RALEIGH." E. L. HINTON, Merchant C. V. ALBRIGHT, Manufacturer JNO. 0. ELLINGTON, President. W. A. COOPER, Manufacturer FROM BLOWING ROCK Civic League Hum inn and Opening Up New Beauty Spots. (By Old Hurrygraph.) Green Park Hotel, Green Park, N. C, Aug. 20. To use the lan guage of the queen of Sheba, when she visited Solomon, "the half has not neen told" of this wonderful, beautiful Blowing Kock country, and the grandeur of its scenery, which lies in north western North Caro lina, and rivals the beauty of any thing to be seen in Switzerland, it has nor yet been opened up fully to the outside world. The scope of its possibilities for loveliness are un limited. It will be revealed in time, as esthetical eyes are now hunting out other beauty spots and bits of scenery which have not been reveal ed by the forest growth upon the mountains, and in the valleys, and these will be made accessible by walks cut through the native growth, and graded In a manner to make the walk delightful. This is the object of the Blowing Rock Civic League, which is now actively at work with this object in view. A "garden party" was held Saturday evening to start the fund for this new develop? inent, and .the ladies having It in charge raised by this means $123.87. The Blowing Rock people and the summer visitors are enthusiastic over this new move to still further add to the beauty of this section and display to the visitor what nature really has in store in these moun tains for the delectation of the be holder, A new inspiration has come over the village of Blowing Kock. It is to be made more beautiful. The bank of Blowing Rock has in con templation the erection of a new and modern building for its business a two-story block of the latest design. Mr. George A. Moore' tells me the matter is now being planned and will be perfected In the near future. The Episcopal congregation has been called to meet in a body to take steps for the erection of a new church in the village of Blowing Kock. The present church is on the mountain side, and used only two months in the year, and with a resi dent rector, it is thought to be more accessible to the general public to have a house of worship in the vil lage where services may be held more conveniently. The hundred or more guests of the Green Park hotel were highly entertained Sunday evening by mu sical renditions by Mrs. W. M. Mor gan, of Fayetteville, and Miss An toluette Glenn, of Winston-Salem. The music was sweet and thrilling. The vocal selections by Mrs. Morgan, "Beautiful Homeon High," a new version of "Rock of Ages," and others, was felicitously and beauti fully rendered in her fine soprano voice, and most delightfully were they enjoyed by her many admirers. Miss Glenn in "One Fine Day," from Madame Butterfly; "The Rosary," "Sevadere," by La Forge, and "Will-o'-the-Wlsp," by Spross, were ex quisitely rendered and were a mar velous revelation of magnificent vocallsm, and showed the wondrous flexibility or her finely cultivated soprano voice In all the lustrous beamings of its brilliant beauty and power. The delicious carollngs of those bird-like channels of song rip pled forth as musically as the strains of Blowing Rock's spring-tuned woodland minstrelsy, and floated through the senses as sweetly as the odor of blooming flowers. APPROVED BY SENATE Ha Unanimously Endorsed the Foreign Commixsion of the South ern Commercial Congress. Washington, Aug. 20. The sen ate has unanimously endorsed the foreign commission of the Southern Commercial Congress, which is to go abroad next May to study systems of agricultural finance in Europe. The commission also has been en dorsed by the state department and will thus tour Europe with the back ting of the United States govern ment. Endorsement of the ' senate 'oc curred in record time. Last Tuesday Senator Newlands, of Nevada, Intro duced the resolution endorsing the commission. Wednesday Senator Fletcher, of Florida, president of tne Houtnern Commercial Congress, addressed the senate In favor of the resolution, which was referred the same day to the committee on agri culture and forestry. Thursday Bea ator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, report ed out the resolution favorably from the committee, and It was called up in the senate by Senator Smith and unanimously passed. Rarely does the senate take sneh kdppiIv nptinn On any measure, and only then with emergency bills.

' ' (From The Wall Street Journal) Efforts to enlist foreign cotton in terests and bunkers in projects to give more complete control of the cotton 'sunDly control of the cotton supply to growers and marketing or ganizations appear to be the out come of failure to find enough favor in domestic circles to command the confidence of financiers. Nor is it blieved that any better result will come from an offer to foreign finan cial interests to take up the idea. Announcement that the United States Cotton Corporation had au thorized its president to close a deal in which Germans were to fur nish capital up to $300,000,000 has been received with little credence in the possibility of the undertaking. A director of a well known, cotton manufacturing corporation, who Is in touch with cotton buying interests In textile circles, said of this pro ject: - "It appears to 'me to be another of the half-baked aconomlc efforts to get capitalists to raise the price of cotton from 11 1-2 cents to 15 cents a pound. Why should German spinners and bankers be interested in enhancing the price of the raw material of so important a branch of their manufacturing Industries? It is always In order of course to en list the se vices of foreign capital ists in marketing so large a crop as American cotton; but this matter will in due time adjust itself in some holding concern, such as this reputed German-American financing arrangement contemplates.". Another view taken by a promi nent banker points out the difficulty from the financial standpoint. "These .holding companies appear to have been inspired renewedly by the ex perience of the Brazilian coffee valorization plan, but the cotton people wanto to keep control of the commodity, whereas the coffee peo ple surrendered the coffee to the mercantile end of the plan which the bankers control. That has always been the difficulty. The test comes, therefore in all such proposals, In answer to the question, 'who will hold the cotton?' It Is difficult to establish any , financial arrange ments that will not break down un til there Is a perfect meeting of minds on this particular point. "If cotton under such a scheme is a liquid asset In the course of commercial movement, It is not dif ficult to command credit In the iisual way. But If It is to be stored way and held out of circulation, so to speak, the ricks to values In volved become in the course of a few years too great for commercial TO YLAND.
