The ball was the fitting climax oi' the season's gaities and it could possi bly have been no more enjoyable to the two hundred and more invited guests present, than it was. Tne scene was superb a melody oi splen dor, truly. The decorations, designed by an artist, executed by scores of fair and willing hands, were elaborate and harmonious- The place looked at first as though the woods of Laurel Park estate had been taken bodily into the amusement . pavilion. One end of thp building was completely hidden . by. great bojghs of robbed trees. The openings at the side?; were arched over and twined about with still more, while hundreds of yards of twisted rope made of thousands upon thousands of leaves drooped gracefully from rafter to rafter. The electric bulbs were en closed in Japanese lanterns- many of. them half hidden by surrounding foliage. It was a poet'e dream come true, and it was all very beautiful No such elaborate decoration have . ever before been attempted here, or i'n this part, of the State, and it will be a long, long time before they Ts.ro equalled or surpassed, anywhere in the South . The orchestra, from Washington, D. C. was seated on' the stage of the building, which had very cleverly been transformed into- a great touring LAtLhmd "George" proprietor, etc., of. the newspaper stand in front cf the Her ald office gives a rather remarkable reason in accounting for his small ness of stature . . The explanation occurred a few days ago and wars rather interesting to those who heard it. ' A lady had 'just made a purchase of a paper and lingered for awhile to get the full benefit of her money. by; means of questioning George . Well, we who know "George" know , that it is not well to pry too close ly into his affairs, but this lady wan one of the kind who are not satisfied with anything less than the wholo truth and the various reasons there fora sort of prying kind. She skirmished around for quite awhile wih several preliminary and irreely ant questions until she had finall:r reached that one for which she had been paving the way. She wanted to know why "George" happened to be so stumpy. Sh(? learned all right, i for "George" hap pened to be very busy "with his worl: and was becoming wearied and out of patience with her ceaseless ques tioning. He took off his hat, bowed very politely, and answered as fol lows : "Madam, to cut a long story shor and tell you in a sentence the : reason for my shortness of ntr ':ure, it happened this way; One dry "hen I a large strapping fellow about six feet tall, and not quite so exper feflced as I ara now, I buted in one day where I had no business and they sat down go hard on me that I have never yet been able - to get back to my normal growth."

The car was complete in all its details wheels, tenders, hoi n and lights, and that it was a six thousand dollar 1912 ma chine was very apparent at half a glance . ' Another delightful surprise and one thoroughly :n keeping with the nature of the function, wag the serving of punch frora a smaller motor car than that in which the orchestra was seat ed. At eleven o'clock many of the electric lights were switched off, a curtain at tke rear of the pavilion was drawn asido and with horn tooting bravely, with headlights flashing' a broad pathway through the serni-dark" ne.ss, there rolled to the center of the floor a miniature automobile, heavily laden winth delicious punch. It was a quaint ccnceit and made the big gest kind o:.; a hit -with the guests: Possibly some two hundred and twenty-five invited guests were pre sent -composed of representatives oi the best social circles of thft South. A iarge number of autc nobiles were lined up outside . the . .ivilion, and seme few carriages. Kut one single note of c if. cord marred an evening of perfect pleasure. Some of the gowns woTT. were very charming and in the soft! 7 subdued half lights the dainty dros ses, the pretty girls, the inxangiDie jut' very eviaenx atmos phere of re? inement and social equal ity all cemt ineel to make the first au iomobile h-a neld at Laurel Park one long to be remembered by its guests. It undoubtf ily was the most impor tant and ci OTOUghly enjoyable func tion lay fer of the present season in the mountains. The ball, ;;iven in honor of the con tributor5 to the automobile meet fund was but one of three events orginall; v-Ianned to make the Hendersonville automobile meet a day of pleasure to the cityi'5 guests. The inclement weather prevailing hag influenced the committee cf arrangements to post pone the automobile parade and the hi climb, the letter to have been held in Laurel Pari:, until August 18, 1912. There is every reason to believe now that these two events would have been as eminertly successful as was the 'first automobile ball given at Laure1 Park on Saturday night. At The Palace. The war story with the setting in pur new possessions which war shpw-n Sat Ji day night was pf extreme interest to the crowd in attendance. It was bettor than the usual run of such pictures from the fact that no 'distinction could be made between the real thing in the way of fighting and what was shown in this picture It was realistics in every particular and called for frequent applause from thp interested onlookers. For tonight a real feature in the way of the world's greatest comedy will be shown. Shakespeare's "Taming of trie tnrew, a nlm costing nearly ?1 00,000 will be offered the patronr. of this place. This wonderful hand painted picture has received the high est praise wherever it has been shown. . At The Lyric. ' . The picture of the coronation which was shown Saturday night was the unusual attraction which drew out a large crowd of pleasure lovers In f.ad.tion to this remarkable film two others of rather good merit"were shown, making a very complete anJ acceptably show. For tonight and k fact for cdl the week a' stock company consisting of geveh actors and ac tresses will endeavor to enlerta.n and ' amu-j-3 the audi'. i .'cs .Their 'Tine consists of the usual vaudeville acts which includes singing, dancing, talking and short sketches of various nature.

When a woman is a thousand miles a wav from her husband ,she can lie awake all nie:bt guessing what time he will come home. Dr. Hulten preached two very able sermons yesterday at the First Bap tist Church. The music and interest in both services were very encourag ing. Large congregations assembled and many were blessed. In the morning the subject was "Our Sympathetic High Priest" At night the subject "Journeying with Jesus." Dr. , Hulten announces subjects for tonight and tomorrow night as follows-' Tonight "What we Know About Heaven." Tombrow night "What we know About Hell" Large crowds are attending the services, by Dr. Hulten each night I and are hearing some excellent ser- 5 er. and his work in this city is re sulting in stronger and increased en thusiasm for the propagation of good. For several years he has filled the milrjit of the First Baptist church at Charlotte with distinct credit to him self and the church a well. His sermons attract deep thinking men cf all denominations who throng nis church each Sunday to hear a master deliver itself of clean forceful thoughts. Truly he is a great minis ter and is doing incalculable good in his hirh and nobla calling. His departure for another field of labor will be keenly felt m Charlotte, not only among his own parishoners but by the entire city as well. He bar. secured a strong hold upon the people and it will be no easy matter to sive Lira up to another church. The meetings continue all this week. through next Sunday. Each night at 8:30.

Deputy Case had sept his ears to the ground and succeeded in making out a pretty clear case against these ievotees of that alluring pastime sonretimeg designated as . a "skin ame." The skinning process took place in that adjunct, or rather suburb, of thp city known by persons t all conversant with the various environs as "Hell's Half Acre." Why this name, or through what devious chicanery his Satanic, majesty secur ed possession of this prescribed area, 's beyond the ken of a news-reporter. In lieu of evidence of substantial na ture it is presumed that the Devil in emulation cf the rest of mankind lesi.red a cool place to stay while not engaged in stoking the furnance and decided upon this spot. ' In arranging bond for appearance at the higher court, an example of mother-in-law affection and son inlaw consideration was disclosed which ha? never, perhaps, been equaled in the state. - One of the defendants had no money with which to satisfy the law for. his "uture abeparance (happened - to be ine of the skinned ones.) and in de vising ways ana means to offset this ieficiency it was agreed that a mor tgage on the property of his mother !n law would be sufficient to meet fhis requirement. The mortgage was about to be drawn and duly attested o when the same spirit of gallantry which actuated Sir Walter Raleigh when he threw his coat down in the mud for the passage of a certain lady, emed to vell up in this negro's "msom and he called a halt in the pro ceedings. ' Muttering loud protestations against Mbe humiliation and inconvenience to his mother in law in such an event, and dranatically raising his arms, he took from his finger a dia mond ring worth several hundred iollars and, accompanied by an officer marched down the street and pawned it for the required amount. A gallant deed, 'well calculated tu put to shame the nunsterg who are continually remarking on the lack of affection between the son and the mother-in-law. His Trouble.
