Meeting of stock-2 holders next Saturday at Court 5 g House, at 8 p.m. 23 At the mass meeting of the citisens held in the Court Bouse last Saturday the first definite steps were taken which are to make Hendersonville the lirsi resort town, not only of the South i but of the whole America continent, biul oue of the must beautilut town in the world. Enthusiasm was the order of the day. The speakers were applauded heartily, and of the hundreds present, not one objecting voice was raised Sufficient stock subscriptions wire made to guarantee the preliminary steps being taken, such as surveys be inginade, option on the surrounding land being taken, etc. This work Is necessary before serious steps toward the actual construction of the lake can be taken. The court house was full of citizens of the town and from the country, many of them being owners of property on the proposed lake. Capt. M. C. Toms was elected chair man of the meeting, and T. R. Barrows and T. W. Valentine, secretaries. The first speaker was W. A. Smith, who made a strong plea for the proposed lake, saying there was no objection to it which could not be answered. He said we were not fighting Asheville, Toxaway, or any other place in North Carolina, that one place could not build up without profiting its neighboring cities, and that Hendersonville had al ready profited enormously through its proximity to Lake Toxaway. lie closed by advocating that every man woman and child in Hendersonville adopt as their motto, "Dam Mud Creek." Said unless the needed options were secured, there would be no lake, therefore It was to everyone's interest to give the required options and thereby vastly in crease the value of their remaining property. Hon. H. S. Anderson was the next speaker, and his theme was "Beauty as an Asset.' Mr. Anderson's speech was a beautiful piece of word painting, and probably no finer little talk has ever been heard in the court house. He pictured the great expanse of water, with the blue sky and the great old mountains reflected there, he spoke of the launches, the white-sailed boats floating calmly on the bosom of the beautiful lake, he drew attention to the fact that mountain scenery has ever been counted the finest, and that when you get the rare combination of moun tains and lakes you have a combination hard to beat, and one, in this ease which will make Hendersonville the most famous and beautiful town on the American continent. Mr. Anderson's speech was listened to attentively and he was greeted with prolonged applause at its finish. I B. Morse followed and said the town was now where it must either re main a village or develop into a great and thriving city. Col. Pickens said he was 70 years old, and at that age he thought too slowly, weighed his words too carefully, to be able to say in five minutes all he might say in favor of the project, but thought it would put us 100 years ahead of any other town in the United States. John Orr, in a rousing little speech, said that this was the most important meeting ever held in Hendersonville. Judge Pace claimed it was all "Tom foolery" for a man of his size to try and say anything in five minutes, and want ed to give his time to Mr. Anderson. Chas. French Toms said he knew there was something doing because there were so many lawyers in the Special Correspondence. . - For three weeks Messrs. Britt and Crawford have waged a friendly con test for a 15,600 seat in congress and great truck farm and vastly benefit the eacn has fought bravely and well for his meeting, and they were all talking for nothing without pay. Said it would convert tiena erson county into one farmers, and skilled and unskilled labor ers. Judge O. V. F. Blythe congratulated himself upon being a citizen of Hender sonville, and was glad to see all so united. Dr. Few said he would GIVE all his bottom land, and said he, for one, would not be guilty of the dog in the manger act. vis rtv TT - . x w. luwDanK saia tnere was no room for argument, it was simply, a matter of ways and means, and if suc cessful would make Henderson the richest county in the state. Jonathan Williams made a speech which stirred the big audience and his time was extended in answer to loud calls from the crowd. Said you might down free silver and tariff but you can't down this lake. The proposed new railroad will make llendersonviLe a great distributing point, and the lake will, in reality, make the town and Said the town would be so beautiful you would want to live in It after you are dead. Rev. Miller, Dr. Love, Dr. Lltaker, and Rev. G. 8. Jones then spoke briefly, after which subscriptions for stock were announced, and nearly $1200 was raised on the spot. Messrs. Smith, Anderson and Garland were appointed a commit tee to solicit subscriptions, and the big K'est mass meeting ever held in the city adjourned to meet at the same place on Tuesday evening, Oct. 9th. Crawford-Britt Debate. Messrs. Crawford and Britt will speak at Mills river on Saturday, Oct. 20tb, and in Hendersonville on Monday the 22nd. Let everyone who is interested n hearing the issues of the campaign ably and forcibly presented, turn out and make this speaking one long to be remembered. Prof. Britt is an enter- taing talker, and of course Hon. W. T. Crawford needs no introduction to the voters of Henderson county, as he is counted one of the ablest political speakers in the whole country. The date is Monday, Oct. 22na, and every indication points towards the debate being a hot one. If you want to get posted on the issues of the campaign, turn out and listen to these two able ex- ponanta. respective party. Tuesday night they spoke to a crowded and enthusiastic house at Asheville, the campaign stops for one week. Mr. Britt, in a scholarly and logical way, has advocated the beauties of Pro tection that he claims has brought to the United States prosperity and wealth. His more aggressive competitor in vig orous ana forceful manner has de nounced the republican leaders in North Carolina. While the rank and file of the republican party are honest, and 'he has ridiculed the slogan of Protection that protects the trusts, millionaire manufacturers and corporate wealth, while it robs the Southern farmer ajod, makes him pa.v higher for trust-mado goods. , - Mr. Britt if a nice. Christian gentle man wltn a clean record, but lb a cold blooded proposition that fails to enthuse or animate his crowd with his speeches. Mr. Crawford is an experienced cam paigner, who warms up his audience with his enthusiasm, and he knows how to win votes. On the day after elec tion you will find Crawford a winner with increased majority, and don't jou forget it. Two years ago Congressman Gudger won his election by less than a thousand majority about 900 votes. There has been no political upheavel in this dis trict since that election, so Crawford's chances of election are splendid. He is a .more aggressive campaigner, who keeps' Britt an the defensive and is a more skilled adversary than Britt. Of ten I have heard old farmers laugh and cry, "Crawford is just too much for Britt!" The three counties of Rutherford, Buncombe and Haywood will give Crawford a democratic majority exceed ing 2000 votes. Rutherford is expected to give him 800 majority, and there are several other democratic counties with each a majority of 100 to increase the above estimate for Crawford. Each one of the three above named will give oyer 600 majority. Per conhra, the biggest republican county Henderson, will give only 400 majority, or much less, perhaps, for Britt and the two next strongest repub lican counties will give as usual about 250 each majority for Britt. A few others will give him only 100 majority or less. But the three above named counties of Rutherford. Buncombe and Hav- . wood insure Crawford's election, and Crawford's campaign is winning him more votes. Britt complains he has only one little republican newspaper,' while his com petitor has an able dally and a dozen weeklies to advocate his candidacy.

Justice, one of.the candidates for representative from Guilford county, has receutly been making some effective speeches that have thrown consternation Into the republican camp. The Industrial News undertook to misrepresent Mr. Jus tice, but he calls the bluff, as the follow ing letter will show: To the 'Editor of the Industrial News: I note in your issue of October 2nd that State Chairman Adams of the republican committee quoted me as saying in a speech at Proximity that the republican party leased the North Carolina railroad to the Southern. I said no such thing. The fact that this error was made by a young man reporting for the Telegram is i not sufficient excuse for its publication in your paper, for you had a reporter pres- j ent. Inasmuch as I did not say this, Chairman Adams' criticism goes for noth ing. As a matter of fact, both the chair man and secretary of the Republican State Executive committee inquired of a respon sible gentleman who was present whether I made this statement, and were both in formed the day before you published Mr. Adams' comments that I said nothing of the kind.
