CI if ill v :"2r- fii.s-;:' ' I f.. f v '1912 GUDDEH 10UR MAY f 9 INCLUDE HEHDiHi Route of Great Annual National Automobile Event May Pene trate Picturesque Western North Carolina. OFFICIAL TOUR AUTOMOBILE Hundreds of Wealthy Motor Enthusiasts to become Acquainted with the Swit zerland of America and the Possibilities of its Principal Resort. The great Qlidden .automobile tour, this year from New York to Jackson ville, to be participated in by from 300 to 500 cars, is the one big annual au tomobile event of the United States. Hendersonville has an excellent op portunity to secure a part of this tomr next Fall, according to Dr. W. H. Stinson, President of the Jacksonville Automobile Club and recent purchaser of Sugar Loaf Mountain. This possibility is centering the at tention of improved highway enthus iasts upon the necessity of building the twelve mile ection of road be tween Hendersonville and the Green ville County line which now acts as a effectual barrier to 'motor car traffic from the South. Dr. W. M. Stinson, who with two of his ' associates.recently purchased Sugar Loaf Mountain with the ulti mate purpose of developing there a club for automobile owners only, is naturally a good roads man. Dr. Stinson is president of the Jacksonville Automobile Club and Chairman of the Atlanta State Highway Association a very much alive organization which hopes to number ten thousand mem bers by the time the next Florida leg islature is convened. Dr. Stinson believes that with the highway to the Greenville County line in good condition itwill be entirely feasible to get a part of thft Glidden tOur through Hendersonville next Fall. Should it prove sc and even two hun dred cars of the principal motor car event of the year pass through this county, local good roads men believe it would be worth ten times the cast of improvingtha road which now acts a a barrier to their coming. "Western North Carolina, its moun tains, its wonderful climate, its health restoring waters, belongs as much to the people of Florida a it does to its & Jjfown citizen" says Dr. Stinson. "Or i 'Sv ,y laaa wo nennlo nf Florida like to tCMfa A-t V V - think that it does and mere and more of us are annually coming up and tak ing possession .

Beckwith, of Tampa. Florida, a visitor here, says : " "Hendersonville is the one best resort town in Western North CartEia. I have visit ed them all and I know. In cidentally I want to say that Laurel Park is the best part of Hendersonville." ELABORATE DECORATIONS ' CAUSE C03IMENT "The elaborate and very beautiful decorations at the automobile ball," said a visitor from South Carolina this morning, "struck me as being about the most effective I had ever seen. I imagine it will be a long time before they are equaled or surpassed in this State." The decorations were designed by Mr. Meyer. The work was done-' by employees of Laurel Park estate, as sisted by many willing and fair hands of guests at Laurel Park Retreat There were almost numberless wagon loadsv of shrubbery from the estate used teams and men busy getting them for over two days- It was a heap of work for a few hours delight but it contributed vastly to the entire success of the first autom&bile ball. With his customary public spirit, Mr. W. A. Smith, owner of Laurel Park, made no chargp for the use of the pavilion nor for the rather heavy cost of the decorations. i ' FLOOD AND FAMINE DEVASTATE Peking. Sept 6. Late reports from flooded districts tell tale of terror amongst inhabitants, of thousands of lives lost in raging torrent of Yan Steking river which is over its banks for more than 700 miles . The i?3s of life may never be known but may reach 'ten thousand, while the proper ty loss is staggering. BUILDING OPERATIONS AT LAU REL .PARK. In addition to. the seven residences already erected in Laurel Park, there will be at least ten more built there by recent purchasers of home siteSi in the "most beautiful natural park in Amer ica" before next season opens. There has be4n a remarkably active demand for - Laurel Park , property this season representative , people from almost every Southern State having become interested- .-there : A full list of those who will bujld there this winter will appear in a real estate -article shortly to appear in the Daily Herald.

Released . under 5,000 bond, charged with man slaughter. Senator Bailey of Texas will not be a candidate for re-election next year, he says. Some of Hendersonville's proper ity may be traced to the billion dollar cotton crop just marketed which sold for more than any cotton ever mark eted, according to remarkable state ment of Henry G. Hester, secretary of New Orleans cotton exchange. Thft farmer received an average of 14.60 cents per pound.

STORY HOUR AT THE COURT HOUSE TOMORROW. , The only admission fee charged at the "Story Hour," tomorrow morning at the Court House at 10:30, will be a sunny face and a happy heart. The event is given under the aus pices GI the Mothers of Henderson ville, by Miss Meta Eloise Beall, state secretary of the After School Club. Everybody is invited the children, of course, first of all. The following' from the Raleigh News and Observer will be of interest in this connection: In giving a report of the program at Montreat last week, a correspon dent of the Raleigh News-Observer makes this reference to the part tak en by a Greensboro young lady: "One of the most thoroughly en joyable features of the program at Montreat this week was the 'Story Hour,' given by Miss Jeta Eloise Beall, of Greensboro, who for the past two weekg has been conducting a Children's Playground,' in which children and mothers also have found much pleasure. 'During the 'Story Hour' young and old alike wandered in the world of faires an heroes as Miss Beall led) them from the myseries of one field of fiction to another in that entertain ing and realistic manner which caused her hearers to feel almost as if the characters of whom she told them were those of real life and werA in their midist. rne oniy admission ree. as an nounced, was ' a sunny face and a happy ' heart,' consequently a large number were present to enjoy an hour into which care entered not and during which older folks vied with children in the enjoyment of -the in nocent diversion of childhood. 'Miss Beall is an' accomplished kin dergartner. and is also a most de lightful and ' cultured woman' Her personality has that charm which wins friends for her among young and old alike. .The conference which she has conducted has added a large de gree of pleasure to the program at Montreat this summer, and there are many here who not with regret the close cf this conference?" s' . ; - - - MONEY FOR BELL The -.

Mr. Sparks is in Henderson- ville for several dav. "Although the State election is one year away," said Mr. Sparks "those interested in clean smvernment. In South Carolina have commenced to size up the various possibilities for the office of chief executive. During th- nast week a hmm was lfinnrhAd for Ira.

Eleced by Accident C. L. Blease, the Newberry county man and presented chief executive of South Carolina was elected by apci dent in the ODinion of Mr Snarks. He defeated C. P. Feathe'rstone ofeye specialist. Laurens, the prohibition candidate. "The present governor," said Mr Sparks "received his office on th liquor question. I do not think that the people of the State should be un duly excited. Blease will receive at least 30,000 votes in every election, no matter what act he might commit This means that he received 20,000 votes m the last election because of his attitude toward the liquor ques tion.
