C Johnson of Spartanburg Succeeds Mr. Wm. Hewitt as Proprietor of this Well ; v , Known Hotel. :' v The Blue Ridge Inn is now under new management, Mr. -A. C. Johnson, popular hotel on Monday! State Library Mr. Johnson, for fire years manager of the Spartan Inn, at Spartanburg, has had xnaoy years' experience ia this most exacting- business, and his success may be measured by the popularity of the 8partan inn and by the scores of warm personal friends be has in ibat South Carolina city. Mr. Johnson is by no means a Strang er in Hendersonville. He is named af ter Mr- A. Cannon, president of the Bank of Htndersonyllle, bis name in full being Albert Cannon Johnson, and his many: friends here look to him to make this city still better known to the tourist and the great American travel ing man through his management of the famous Blue 'Ridge Inn. There will he many Improvement made in the hotel- The rooms will be renovated thro' out, new carpets and furniture will be purchased and the hotel lobby, already one of the pleasantest in this part of the state will be still further improved by a handsome tile floor. The improve ments, including the expensive floor will be completed by May first. Mr. Johnson's long hotel experience sug gest to him many changes to be made id the management of theInn. Amongst these improvements may be mentioned the cuUine, which will be brought up to the standard of some of the famous hotels of th country. Mr. Louis- Haas, so long and favorably known for bis ability in this line, will be the" note! steward, which is a suffic ient guarantee of quality to "those who know." Mr. Johnson's ambition is to make the Hl Ridge Inn thw-tines t sum mer hotel io Bendersonvllle. There is suCicient capital and experience behind him to promise that this will be done. - He be lieves the future of Hendersonville is very bright and sees great possibilities for the development of his ambition in this beautiful city. The fact is ihat Hendersonville Is each year attracting more and more outside capital. And capital is slow to come and invest in new places until it is confident the future of the community is assured. Mr. "Johnson is convinced that nowhere in the south is there a better opening for a strictly first class commercial and tourist hotel than in tfils city , and as before stated, no ex pense will be spared by the new man agement in making the Blue Ridge Inn fulfill his idea of what a first class tour ist and commercial hotel should be. Mr. Johnson's popularity is shown by the extremely friendly mention made of his new venture in the Atlanta, Char leston. Chattanooga and Birmingham papers and it is safe to say that under his genial and painstaking care the Blue Ridge will loose none of its well-earned popularity gained under Mr. Wm. Hew ltt. It will add to and increase the fame of .beautiful Hendersonville as a resort which Offers proper accommodations to the toariat and sightseer who wish to rest or to see Nature at her best amongst the grand old Blue Ridge mountains, in this most favored .part of the world where, as the New York Sun says, 'the climate during nine mouths Of the year is without an equal, and for the remaining three months the dry and bracing atmosphere is a tonic and stimu lanttaaU." Mr. vau tie wltt. the retiring man ager, who has so many warm personal friends in this community, and whose genial personality wiU be missed be hind' the desk of the Blue Ridge Inn , wtlr devote his entire attention to his recentl V purchased property, ''The Knickerbocker," formerly the beautif u home Mrs. Beale. Mr. Hewitt will make improvements there and will devote the same care and attention to' this house whacUerabled him to turn over the Blue Ridge Inn to his successor with, a reputation second to none in Western North-Carolina. x Com Mysterious Blaze.,1' . Last Thursday night, at 11:30, the barn and entire contents belonging to Capt. M. O. Toms, on South Main street, was cempletely destroyed.' - In the barn at the time was a valuable horse and cow, 7 sets of harness, a carriage, bug gy and brake, much corn aud hay, etc. The loss is about 11800 with no insur- ance. " ' ' ; : - v - . The fire was first discovered by" Mrs. R. I. Barnwell, who happened to glance out her window. Within afew min utes it was a blazing furnace, and. only It from Igniting Dr. Jther buildings near t. It was difficult to get the fire com pany, wno aia not arrive until hall an hour after the blaze was first noticed Had the; wind been blowing, as it was an hour later, it is said nothing could have saved the lower part of the town rom destruction. The origin of the fire is extremely mysterious. The door, was locked, and every precaution against such a conting ency had been adopted by the Captain. At r one side of the barn is a small, slid. ng window. It would have been an easy matter for one so disposed to nave dropped a match through this opening nto the mass of hay below. Cspi. Toms can find no explanation as to the origin of the fire, and hss published a rt-w&rd of $2U0 for the arrest and conviction or arson of the person or persons guil ty of the act. , ! Fire Company Reorganized v The fire company has been reorgan ized, with the following men as mem bers: B. B. Jackson, chief, Thos Shep eerd, Ass't chief, John Forest, Frank Edwards, W. Davis, Homer Hawkins, R, Li. Sexton, Vernon Murray, G.vW. Guice, V. C. Shepherd, Claude Dotson. A. C. Glazeoer, Det Reese and Jim Reese. The board of town commissioners ap pointed a special committee to investi gate the town's fire protection. A mod ern fire alarm bell has br en ordertd, which will be installed in the Opera House The fire, company bereafter will hold drills, to perf ct themselves in fire fight- ng. There is " a strong sentiment in favor , of -the "town buying-e, hose jcart and horse, but it is hardly probable the city authorities will do so. The present apparatus is capable of throwing- a stream 100 feet.

To the Justices of the Peace of Hen derson County:- I take this method of announcing to you tnat l will De a candidate ior tne office of tax-collector for Henderson County before your body , at the May election 1907, and that I shall appreciate your support in the said election. Fairness and justice to all should be the democratic motto in Henderson County. We have but few' offices in the county which carry with them any remuneration and those we have should not be held by the same men all the time. We all alike work for the suc cess of our party and the rewards, if any should be distributed. With perfect good will for all ; who may ask for this office I shall urge my right for recog nition at your hands in the May elec-tlon. Respectfully, G. P. LlVERETT Sugar Beet Factory a Possibility. On Feb. 22d, sttthe court house, at 11 o'clock, A. K Benton, of the U. S De partment of Agriculture, will talk on sugar beet culture, Free seeds will be distributed, and the beets, in the fU may be sent to the Department at Washington, where the U. S. govern ment will analylze them free of cost. The growers wil be informed as to the result, and if satisfactory, sugar beet faotory here Is more than a remote possibility. .' With Mr. Benton will be Mr. Quinn, the noted corn and hog specialist, whose talk to the farmers must be of great benefit. He will also answer any ques ions the audience may ask. It is hoped a large crowd will be out to hear these gentlemen, and to obtain the free seeds. A sugar beet crop in Henderson county would be of inesti mable benefit to the community it would be a money crop. , "Everybody ShH Kbw. " says C. G.

The lake matters are gradually - as suming definite., shape, and by next week it is expected that thecompany will know just where it stands in refer- ence to the most important item,; name ly, the question bf options, " The work of securing the options has no b en divided up amongst several representa tive men, who are busy securing, signa tures this week. , " " The promoters take the position, a common-sense ene, that the only ; way to handle the matter s to take up one proposition at a time VVhen .that is settled, .take up the next, and so on. Options for 60 days only ate now being taken. ... - . The options are the most importan of all. Upon these being secured s t a sat isfactory price rests the whole proposi tion. If the land owners-do not wish t sell at a. moderate figure, the lak a can not be considert d a possibility. Many, property owners seem to show, a dispo sition to hold their land. a . mis taken policy. A mistaken policy because the lake will not be built a t aU f options are unsatisfactory, and if the lake Is built, there is no one in Hender son county who will not receive immed- ate and direct benefits. - The demand for labor will be great. An enormous amount of money will un-' doubtedly be dumped into the i county and prices wiU advance all along the line. Farmers will receive theigreat- est benefit of any one class,, probably. Skilled mechanics and unskilled, labor will command good prices, and it may be repeated that the construction' of the lake will benefit everyone in the . coun ty. For these reasons, the promoters believe the land owners should be will. 1 ng to meet them half way. It Is a speculation on their part, not an; abso- futely sure thing, and unless induce ments are held out to these capitalists it is not to be supposed they will run the whole risk of spending their mocey. A boulevard of 39 miles will costrnoney. So will the dam. So will the c. earing of the land, and a thousand andooe oth er things. - If the lake is built which mean) if the options can be secured, the f ut are of Hendersonville aud Henderson ; county is assured. . It is believed that tbe'eSnfelemen hav ing this important matter in hand will be successful In their efforts, at d that this spring will witness the s beginning of this gigantic work. Married in Washington The following, from the "Tacoma Evening News," (Washington) will be of interest to our readers: A quiet little wedding was silemnized yesterday at the Hotel. Mason, the con tracting parties being young people of Winlock, ' Miss Grace Veness, a niece of Senator Veness of Lewis county, 'and Thomas Lyda, a well-known lumber man . of the Cowlitz river section.
