Perkins, who came hare last Spring and suterlntencld the alter ations of the Hotel Gotes, afterwards buying a fine piece of property on Main street adjoining Capt. Tom's place, has been sued by his wife, Susan Ellar Piper Perkins, for divorce and $5000. damages. Mrs. Perkins has attached the property on Main street. The case will come to trial during the May term of court. The bill of com plaint has not yet been filed, bat it is expected it contains startling allega tions. The affidavit for attachment, which appears below, charges that Mr. Perkins was already married whtn he took his present wife. Michael Schenck is attorney for Mrs Perkins. It is said Perkins was at one time a andidate for mayor of Greenville.that he was at one time s member of the board of . alderman of that city and served in some official capacity in Asbe ville. ' ; ". That the defendant, H. C. Perkins.is indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of five thousand dollars, and more, over and above ail counter claims known to tbe affiant, which has arisen on account of fraud perpetrated on plaintiff by defendant by falsely'and fraudulently representing himself as a marriageable person, whereby he procured a pre tended marriage with the plaintiff, thereby procuring co-habitation with her as his wife, and whereby he pro cured .from her large sums of money to the great injury and loss to her person, feelings, character and estate; five thousand dollars and more;, when tbe truth is as affiant is informed and believes, the defendant was a married man. having living at the time of the marriage a living wife, and that the affiant is informed and believes that the f !

Hast Tuesday, we learn from, the Hendersonville Hus-' tier, a mass meeting of citizens was hld, the county commissioners met later and unanimously voted to build three iron bridges at a cost of $12,000, and the Hendersonville Lake, 'Land and Power Company forthwith decided to go ahead if omy it can get' the land at reasonable prices. Holding, at fancy figures, seems to be the only remaining obstacle. . Outside capital has been in terested and Jhe company proposes to expend $150,000 on the project this spiing and summer; Focusing its mind's-eye, The Hustler declares the, future, as follows: VNo one can now realize what it means to Henderson county, to have this great body of water here. Nearly three times the size of Toxaway, with 6lx mountain peaks nearly 6,000 feet high within plain sight of it, a magni ficent boulevard of 40 miles around it, street cars all over Hendersonville, automobile lines running clear around the lake, pleasure craft of all kinds on the lake, with fine fishing and bathing, it means that Hendersonville will be tbe most widely known, the most beautiful city of the world. It will be the play ground of the world. In fiye years it will treble its taxable valuation. In that time it will have 20,000 permanent residents. Every hotel now built will be kept full and many others will be built. MillioDs of dollars will be spent here. Farmers will get three to five times the prices for their products that they now receive. "These are not visions, but are al most the exact words used by level headed, hard business men at the meet ing of 'the board of county commiss ioners. They are the words of men who do not dream, but practical successful men of affairs. ' " " This is good to read. All that tbe North Carolina mountains ever lacked to make them peerless was lakes, and we -are delighted at the prospect of a second successful effort to supply the need. . A Correction In last week's paper Sheriff Williams was quoted as stating the tax valuation of this county to be less than one mil lion dollars. This was an error. The valuation is about three million dollars. The Millinery Openings . "Spring has came. " If you don't be lieve it, look in the windows of the mil linery shops, both full of things dear to a woman's heart and which the average man thinks are dear, too, until he sees his wife or daughter wearing some of it. But, honestly, both shops have really excellent displays of spring milli nery and the show reflects credit upon the city. ' Mrs. Posey's store will have its Spring Opening on Friday and Sat urday, March 22 and 23. Mrs. Hart will be pleased to show her patrons the spring styles on Friday March 22d. ..; 1 U " C" yti, r-s syv-j j nV -! -5Wv555S-5v- ft' ZJ , ' Speckir of We offer a complete line of this popurlar varnish stain.

THE IHI ardware Company Inco rpor atea The Cotton Mill at Green River. There are fifteen surveyors now at work for the new mill company at Green River. They have laid off a town about the size of Hendersonville. The mill proper will be a thousand feet in length, located on a hill about quarter a mile from the river. Electricity will be the motive power. The building is to be completed and machinery install ed dv Decern oer or this year. They will tiupjoj proDaDiy ouo nanas. 'The machinery for making brick for me ouuamgs is now on the ground, and 400 men will be brought there to work on the construction of the different buildings. Considerable nro&rress has already been made and all the work will be pushed rapidly. -.WHY? THe mass meeting, advertised so ex tensively for last Tuesday, was called off at the last moment. Many people were in town and the indications were tor a rousing big .meeting. Will We Get It? Hendersonville has talked, and talk ed, and talked, and talked about wanting a cotton mill here. Without any frills this is the proposition now. Mr. A. B. Calvert, president of the Drayton mills ana president of two banks in South Carolina, a man of the highest ability in every respect, stands ready to inveot $200,000 in a cotton mill here if local people subscribe $100,000. It must be understood that Mr. Calvert insists on this amount being taken here simply to insure the good will of the town, and not because they need that amount. There is all aud more than enough money at their command, but they, for good business reasons, and to insure the lasting good-will of the citv. finaisted on a third of the stock' being subscribed tie re. The site for the mill has been select ed, on the Barker place. Mr. U. G. Staton has received the definite proposi tion from Mr. Calvert to invest $200,000 in the mill and to start work within 60 days. Mr. Calvert suggests that a com mittee of five come to Spartanburg, and investigate the business a little there and talk over the proposition. The matter will come before the local board of trade for some official action. It is belleyed the money can easily be subscribed here, if Hendersonville reailyd wants tne big mill. The investment would pay large dividends. It would give employment to ouu nanus, with a payroll of many thousands of dollars each week. If this city wants the mill it has the opportunity now. If it lets this oppor tunity go by, it should forever after keep silent. High Point is making des perate efforts to get the mill there, but Mr. Calvert prefers to come here. This is the chance to keep Henderson county's population at home. It's up this town to do something and do it quick. 976.25 ; M. C. and C. F. Toms have received a check for $976.25 for their crop of giu slng raised on a little patch of ground 60 by 70 feet, on Jump off Mountain and which was shipped last fall. This is probably the largest amount of money ever made in this state from a piece of ground this size, 50x70 feet. We defy any other part of the state to equal it. This crop was planted three years ago. Next fall there will be another crop for sale, and after that another, and so ' on. These figures sprak for themselves. They certainly need no comment. What these gentlemen have done, others may do. They have no monopoly of this crop. They have sim ply shown the famers of Henderson county the door to a gold mine, where any who wish m&y enter. The initial cost is lew, and a revenue my be deriv ed from it within vthree years. And yet farmers here allow themselves to be deluded into going to the mills to work, when this money crop is right at their doors! Ask Capt. Toms for particulars. He's mighty glad to give them. Freight Rates. The Board of Trade held a called meeting last Friday night, to consider a request from the Southern Hallway for a conference to settle the question of freight discrimination. The meeting was largely attended and a committee was appointed to meet Mr. 'Green in Atlanta during the week commencing with the 24th of tills month. . This is in accordance ' with the request of the Southern Railway, as in that city all the various freight tariffs are accessiole. It is hoped and believed that at the meeting the much discussed question of unfair freight rates will be finally set tied and Hendersonville will be given what Is justly her's she asks ho more. As a result of the board of trade meet ing the committee will go to Atlanta armed with all sorts of data, and It is believed will convince the Southern of ficials that a material reduction, many items should be made. ; : v The agitation for lower rates has been of long duration, and ever since the Southern railway has been convinced that our business men.were in earnest. they have shown a disposition to meet them and listen to their requests. Miss Edna Scott. Miss Edna Scott died at the : Women's College in Columbia on March 12th, aged 16 years and six months. Oh, . re lentless death, it does .not always wait for the old and feeble, nor is it satisfied tn snatching from the mother's tremb ling arms, ber young and tender infant, but must flow an icy . breath on our loveliest and dearest flowers, while we look on .mute with, anguish, knowing how powerless we are to avert it.' I have known Enda from her child hood, so winsome and sweet was she that she wound herself about my heart. She was as pure as a snow drop,, this child, who knew no sin. 1 was present on the occasion of her confirmation. The thought occured to me, as she so gracefully bowed her bright - young ' head to receive the Benediction, How fit a subject is she, this fair youug girl to be received Into the Fold. Her brother, .who was in business in Wash ington, was telegraphed for. but he ar rived too late, for he found her lying in a bed of roses, with her slender feet un shod, his lovely little sister "all dressed ior The Court of God." ; Edna leaves a widowed mother and two brothers to mourn the loss of this sweet young girl, Christian child. Now we leave you sleeping dearest, Beneath the fragrant flowers, And to-night when we kneel down to pray : Oh, may He give us grace to say Thy will be do, not ours One to whom she was very dear. on mmmmm We regret that owing to delayed freight T - p. - ft ft ft ft Kie JI 3 Si Si si i- ' is compelled to delay it's opening announcement a Si few days longer.
