KANUGA PROPERTY TO UNDER GO $250,000 IMPROVEMNET Report Has it That the Valuable Estate Near Hendersonville Is to Find Numerous large Improve-Ments. RSOLIITARYWAVAL SCHOOL MURE THAN $8,000 DONATED TOWARD ACQUISITION OF BIG SCHOOL Alip; COMMITTEE IS IN ATLANTA MAKING FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR COMING OF INSTITUTION BACKED BY NOTED FINANCIERS. . , Prospects are bright -for the im mediate acquisition of the military- naval school to be established by the owners of the Georgia Military Academy. More than $8,000 of thev$10,000 required as a condi tion of the school's establishment at Highland Lake has been donated by Hendersonville people, two subscrip tions running as high as $500 each. At the Board of Trade meeting last Tuesday night a lengthy letter stat ing requirements was read from the school authorities and as a result F. A. Ewbank and C. Fl Bland met Col. Woodward in Spartanburg on Wed nesday to ascertain more clearly the meaning of some portions of the let ter. They wanted the Highland Lake property for $85,000 when it was offered for not less than $100,000. Mr. Ewbank left on Thursday fol lowing this conference with Col. . Woodward to confer with the prop erty owners in, Montgomery, Ala. C. E. -Brooks, C. F. Bland, J. Mack Rhodes, Dr. A. C. Tebeau and Clar ence Latham proceeded to raise do nations by popular subscription. At this writing they had raised over $8,000, havirfg about l30 subscrip tions with their work unfinished. With the sum of $10,000 practically in sight Mr. Bland left on Monday for Atlanta, where he was to meet Mr. Ewbank and after going over the situation they were to see the school authorities and lay the facts before them. While there was objection from some to offering a school anything to come to Hendersonville it was ex- piainea Dy tne solicitors mat it naa become a popular habit and that the people must respond or lose the school. -The result was remarkable. The government is lending its aid to military schools over the country in a way never before undertaken and this fact coupled with the knowl edge that those behind the proposed institution have made a notable suc cess of the Georgia institution, as sures Hendersonville of many great returns as a result of its acquisition. The school would be permanent, running nearly the year 'round, would be extensively advertised, have a large student body, and as a re sult it is believed that it would re suit in the permanent location here of some of the country s prominent men in social, political and business life. ED. FAULKNER KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT. SUNDAY Edward Faulkner, about 18 years of age, was instantly killed when an automobile he occupied ran off an embankment near Naples Saturday night about midnight, and as an after math Grant Kramer was arrested and released under $500 bond, charged with driving the machine while in an intoxicated condition, resulting in Faulkner's death. Edward Faulkner, Lawrence Emb- ler. Grant Kramer and Elmo Holland left Hendersonville in a one-seated machine. Saturday night about mid night and near Naples the machine ran off an embankment as a result of what they said was defective steer ing gear. It was a miracle that all the boys were not killed. It is believed that a ditch afforded their escape as it somewhat protected the occupants against the full weight of the car when it turned over. Faulkner did not speak a word nor utter a cry his companions said. Embler-and Kramer were slightly bruised and scratched and Holland suffered painful though not serious bruises and scratches. He was pinned beneath the car for quite a while. Ben Souther, went to the relief of Jhe boys. Kramer's trial is set for 11 o clock Saturday. The arrest was made by Sheriff M. Allard Case after h and Chief of Police Otis Powers went, to the scene of the accident and interviewed Mr. Souther. The remains of Faulkner, the son of Mrs. Emma Faulkner, were in terred in Shaws Creek cemetery Mon day following services by Rev. M. F. Moores at the Methodist church at 12:30. In addition to his mother, the deceased is survived by two younger brothers and agister. It is learned that plans are on by Geogre B. Stephens, of Charlotte, and Jake Wells, the theatrical magnate, for enlarging the Kanuga lake prop erty near Hendersonville, by the ex penditure of about $250,000, making it one of the leading hotel properties in the south and a resort which it is believed will attract visitors from all sections of the country. Already at the Kanuga lake is the large lake, a large hotel, about 75 cottages a club house and a golf course. It is planned, it is understood, to increase the size of the lake, to make the hotel larger and to convert it into one of the most attractive re sort hotels in the country. The golf course will probably be enlarged, or I a new one laid out and additional cottages will be erected. Plans are now under way for securing a hotel man of wide exper ience who is now in Asheville, too lease the property for a term of years, after all , the improvements ; have been made. Mr. Wells is very enthusiastic over the prospects for Western North Carolina and says that the section is only just now com ing into its own as a great resort center. He predicts that other capitalists will be attracted here andv 4-l- n 4- mnnif AfliAW Vistnlca ' nn The Henderson county road . bill Lated in his immediate section.
