15 CENT NEWS ADV
DID BIG BUSINESS
FOR TOMBSTONE MAN
"Do you know that the little
15 cent a week ad I'm running
in your paper produces wonder
ful results?" inquired C. O.
Smith of Inman, S. C.
"I have sold within the last
few days two car loads of tomb
stones in this community and I
traced many of these sales to
the advertisement , in THE
NEWS, which has brought me
a' thousand or more dollars
worth of business?"
That's enough to stagger some
"Doubting Thomas" but Mr.
Smith says it's so and he is so
well pleased that he takes a big
ger ad this week for bigger
business.
What THE NEWS did for
Mr. Smith it can do for others.
We doubt if there is a more
thoroughly read newspaper in
North Carolina the whole South
for it is unlike anything in
the world "The NEWSpaper
that's Different."

for HendersonTille.
E. W. Ewbank, attorney and pres
ident of the Citizens National Bank
of Hendersonville, enters on his ninth
year of highly-satisfactory service as
attorney for the city of Henderson
ville. After most people serve this
long in a political capacity some sore
heads get in a notion to kick him out,
but it is complimentary to Mr. Ew
bank to state that when the new
board of city commissioners organi
zed a few days ago no name was
mentioned for the fob of citv attornev
except that of Mr. Ewbank, who has
served eight years consecutively, be
ginning with Mayor Michael Schenck's
administration, witn the exception or
the -two years during Mayor R. H.
Staton's administration, when the re.
publicans were in power.
R. H. Smith has invented what is
known as a stalk and vine cutter
and hay turner. It is- also a cultivator
and covers grain and peas when sown
broad cast and leaves the ground
perfectly smooth and can be used
as a perfect harrow. Mr. Smith has
sold one-fourth interest each to Dr.
A. C. Tebeau, J. Foy Justice and they
are going to interest a few others
and organize a stock company here
and deed to this company all the ter
ritory south of the the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi.
They will have the cogs, wheels, i
and curved axles made elsewhere and
assembled here and as the balance of
the machine is made of wood this is
considered the suitable place to man
ufacture this very useful farm lm
plement and ship it to the f arm im
plement dealers in the above named
territory. This machine, which does
so many things on the farm, will, it
is said, be a great saving to the
farmer and leave a handsome profit
for the company.
This company proposes to employ
about 50 workmen and scatter con
siderable money in this county for
imber and 'altogether cause a large
and permanent weekly pay roll.
This machine has been tried out
thoroughly in South Carolina this
spring and is now on Mr. Ewbank's
farm on Shaw's Creek road turning
hay.
The meetings of Engineer-Evan

them being drawn from his varied
experiences in life.
He conducted an afternoon meet
ing at the First Baptist church Sun
day. He will close his meeting here
Wednesday night of this. week.
