I Famous Mountain Lily Story Told By | to Feature Writer of Hendersonville I Brevard's famed "Mountain Lily" steamboat had its origin at Hender sonville, according to a story carried in The ^hevilJe Times on Monday of this \v^^^rh8^tog0!!^l'ows : The i-?3SjKtfne' "Mountain Lily" may b?Sffi|gE| low water mark in the FreimSKSjRif! river just below | '?sh<-re thS$SH??.ete bridge on the Hayv/ard eoBEfyaris that stream in the Mills rivsfr section of Henderson county. N | Many of the oldest settlers remem-' ber the Mountain Lily. It was be- J lieved to be the only steamer opera ting on a river with the altitude of i the French Broad. About 55 years1 ago Congressman Robert Vance in troduced and obtained the passage of a bill through congress appropriating $50,000 to be used in rendering the French Broad river navigable. This money was expended by the govern ment in the building of jetties and deepening the channel under the su-, pervision of Captain Averill of the army engineers. When the -work on the channel was : completed. Col. S- .V. Pickens, late (Cbniivued On Pag e. Eight) "Wolf! Wolf!" was heard in Bre vard Monday, when one ox the v.'Oi|!d be Nimrods of this community re ported that he had encountered s&ch an animal east of Brevard, and had i wounded him slightly with a shotgun, i distance only preventing him from | making a kill of the alleged marafed ' er. > | The word quickly spread that) a , i 1 eal honest-to-goodness wolf \jas 1 i roaming the land, and a number of j men, dogs and guns were soon to be I seen in the bottoms between the home I of J. A. McCrary and the Frerich! Broad river, all with the intent '.of i slaying the daring animal that had j attempted to molest th<> quiet stfid . peace of Brevardites. Again Tuesday morning the num ber swelled, as many as twenty-five people being on the wavpath at one time, according to reports reaching this office. No kill had been reported late Tuesday night, and several peo- ? pie assert that the ravaging ani 1 lr.al, was only a collie pup that had j ntrayed from his master in Brevard, ] loafed around in the hedge* and r ! ways -til he had become a little j ! man-shy, and upon being shot at, i hunted down like a thief and oth.'r- ' . wise molested, used the only method j , left in such case, slink around where j I he was least apt to be feen. i However, several substantial citi- 1 : zens of the community, including! 1 Deputy Sheriff J. M. Kilpatrick, : I Wilson Poole and others, are empha-j I tic in their statements that the an imal is far from being a dog. Deputy [ Sheriff Kilpatrick declared that he shot five times at the animal Tues- 1 day, at a range of around 100 yards,] and that he is positive in his ident- j ification. Wilson Poole states that he; was within ten yards of brute, and. knows for a certainty that it is a j wolf or coyote. j Wolf or no wolf, the excitement i caused by the report was sufficient : to cause a ripple in the too smooth i lull.

Second week ; of the General Assembly was slowed down to some extent, due to the Tact that the governor's megxagc de ' livered Monday nijjht was being awaited bjj the solons. Principal bills introduced during the week centered around taxation ami econo ; my measures, the trend for reduc tion in taxes predominating sincc first day of the session. High spots of the week included ! introduction of Senator Hoyden l Clement's', bili to provide a prcduc 1 t.ion tax of one-half of one per cent i to include all types of state manu ! factured products; a house measure ! to place a tax of five per font of the ! present federal levy on nianufactur ' ed tobacco products; and house and ! committee debate on a bill propos | ing abolishment of tax penalties. I The tax penalties bill was tw j favorably reported after assembly ; men from all sections of the state pif-aded against it en grounds such action would force early closing cJ ; schools and bring' crippled county finances due to late payments of taxes. Sponsors, however, secured 3 minority report and will bring !t back on the house floor for debate. In the meantime, Representative W. A. Thompson, of Coiumbus an nounced he would sponsor a measure to relieve taxpayers of all back penalties but not affecting future penalties. His measure would allow redemption of property upon pay ment of current and deliquent. taxes, plus six per cent interest, within a five year period.
