There is an outside cottage for servants, and the large barn is modern in every way, with running city water. The entire estate is in a high state of cultivation, and certainly no expense has been spared to make this the ideal country home, a description of which, however, would be incomplete without a word about one of its many beautiful rooms, the living room with its mag nificent fire place, which has attracted so much attention and remark. This really fine room is 20 x 36 feet, folding doors opening into the broad piazza. The great fire place, of stone, is nine feet wide, running clear tc tbe ceiling and beyond, nmi cost, it is said a pile of money.

"weallcameto town soon in the mornin' and the first place we stopped waa jvionroe snepnera's etore to get a pair of shoes for little Vesta. Vesta has to walk with crutches, you know, an aint very stout, but Doc Egerton says she's improvm' and Doc knows what he's talkin' about. "1 met Judge Pace In front; of the court house and asked him if he'd found that Republican yet. The Judge says, if he had he was going to keep him un til next election, as he lowed. he'd need him then, but said that that story, was jest made up by the Hustler newspaper man. My sakes alive, but I didn't kowD the Hustler would do sech things, .but Bill Stradley says it will and worse. I Bill says, he does. MWe went into Mr. TT.H. ftrnnb'a rffioA 'to settle our taxes, an' Mr. Brooks he waa real perlite. Ed. is a real hand some, wsll-eet up man, and they say he's jest as pleased as pleased can be 'bout the way the 'lection went. I heard somebody say that Mr. Brooks and Mr. Uickman and Mr. Edwards, the hard ware man, and Georee Liverett. all worked hard for the election, but I didn't come to town that day and I'm real glad I didn't, too. "Tom Valentines dog has done left the Radicals and jined the Democrats While I was standing there talking to the Judge, Mr. Valentine went into the court house and whistled to bis doer to come. But Piero. that how the doff's named, jest turned tail and run home, and Mr. Valentine says that ever since Mection his dog wont go near the court, and he 'lows he's turned over. Well, I allers did say, that dog had a heap more sense than some men critters. "We jest had to go 'round to see poor Joe Bryson. And Mrs. Bryson she look ed plum worried and I said to Jim that it was a shame, that's jest what I said. It's a right smart expense, an' Mr. Bry son away from bis liverv. stable business and Doc Drafts going there every day. But Doc Drafts, I've heard'tell, is a real good doctor, ana he says Joe '11 get well.. "But I sure felt sorry for Mriand Mrs. Bryson, and jest natcherly 'lowed that some thin' ought to be done about hit. People from the country have no busi ness, Jim says.interferin' with city folk's 'lection's. Let 'em stay at home, savs I, where they belong. "We stopped into Mr. Glazener's store to look at a suit of clothes for Jim, and Mr. Glazener he says he's a-goin' to get married, but laws me, I've heard that before. Little Vesta wanted seme soda water so we stopped into Hicks Justus drug store. Hicks and the old man got to telling fish stories and I heard Mr. Justus say he was out to Green River the other day an' caught sixty-two fish. He and Mr. Ewbank they say are like to fish out every stream about here, an they had to get the government to send a carload of young fish to restock the streams. I suppose they'll be gone be- bre long, too. "My sakes alive, but that town don't seem the same without Mr. Jim Wal drop. I was 'quainted with Jim all my ife, and remember just as-if 'twas yes terday, when he was born, in a log house that stood where John Smatbers' blacksmith shop is now. Poor Jim, and most everybody knew and liked him. "I said howdy to Cap'n Toms in front of his office. The Cap'n is a well pre served man and they say he's jest as deep In business as ever; The cap'n says things is different now from what they used to be when me am' him was children. He says when he was mer chandising, years ago, with Mr. Ripley, down in tbe old rock building, they used to buy thousands of bushels of corn an' odder from the farmers here ai d wag on it down south. He Bays, now, the cap'n does, the farmers am air to busy gettin out tan bark to tend to their rightful business. And I heard a man tell the cap'n that five hundred dollars a day went out of this cotmty for feed stuff thatjrst natcherlly ought to be raited right here to home The Cap'n thinks a heap of this county, and he says, the Cap'n does, that that ain't right. I tell Jim, too, bat he thinks he's a mighty smart man if he gets ten dollars for a load of goes to Mr. Hobbs tan bark an' then and buys feed for two yoke of steers. "Seems like the town ehanges every time I see it. I hear a heap -of. talk about a cotton factory that a Mr. Calvert is a going to buna. Then I met Mr. U. G. Stat on and Mr. Brock and I jest right out an7 says to them are you all agoin' to build a mill near Zirconia?. And they didn'nt answer and then I asks them it Mr. Jim Morgan from Greenville wasn't agoing in with 'em to build it, but they jest kept quiet, . Mr U. G.. Staton and Mr, Brock are two good business men, I seys to Jim, and they ain't sayin' anything 'till the "right time comes. That's jest what I told Jim as we went into Hunter's Pharmacy to get some seeds I wanted for my flower garden out in front of.the house. "1 met Mr. Michael Schenck out side the post office, and I was real glad to see him. I'm old enough to be his grandmother and I knew his father and mother. His father was a good man an' Mr. Michael favors him right smart And when I fcold bin I was glad he was mayor he looked real pleased like and said he was glad too. "Mr. Albert Cannon used to be a neighbor of mine, and he's president of the bank now. I was plum sorrv to hear that Mr. Hickman was goin' to Green ville, but they got a good man to take his place. Mr. J. W. Davis he's pres ident of another bank was talking to Mr, Cannon, and Mr. Davis,he says that he's feeling right peart these da 8 and that his health is tolerable now. "Mr. Mack Rhodes, I hear, has jest been 'lected sheriff.or somethin'. He's in the bank an' I saw him behind those iron bars there an' told him howdy. My laws, but the money he had there was 'nough to skeer abody, and he's so busy I didn't stay long, but jest said I hoped he'd be elected to the legislature some day. "Jim went into Clarke's hardware store to get some paint Mr. Clarke sells and Jim got to talking with Mr; Dick and said he was plum sorry to hear that his father had done sold his fine' new house and gone North, but I heard Mr. Dick say his father would come back. I hear that Mr. Dick is a real good busi ness man and Knows a heap about sell ing hardware and sich-like. "Theres so many new stores in town a body can't keep up with 'em all unless they read the Hustler. I've taken that paper for a good many years now, and Jim, he's that anxious to get it each week. Last week hit didn't come, the postmaster's fault, I know, and Jim had to o clear over to Joe Hulburt'ss to got his paper. "I (see there's two moving picture show in town now, an a skating rink, Me, I'm to old to go to trying new fang led notions lika the skatin' rink and little Vestar's got to walk with a crutch. but Jennie, that's my son's wife, she say's she goin to go to that rink just as soon as Mr; Hewitt tells the Hustler it's open, bhe says, she does, that sues goin' in town and stay all day. Jennie, she lived in Ashevelle for a spell and got city ideas, I dont know Mr. Hew itt.but I'm told he's just the man to run a skatin' rink. , "About the circus? Sakes alive, yes we went, and little Vesta enjoyed it right smart. Me an' Jim went so little Vesta could see it, poor thing, and when we got into the" wagon she jest talked and talked and talked until she went to sleep with her head in my lap. ''It was nearlylsun down before we started from town. I never did sea such beautiful colors as was in the sky that evening. There was green and gold and yellow and such a brilliant scarlet, and the twilight lasted till we were nearly home. The trees looked so pretty in their new spring dresses' as I called it to Jim. And Jim he says, yes, that's right. Woman help to beautify the world, Jim says, with their graceful and pretty ways, and the'r new spring and fall dresses, and Jim says the trees are just like women. They are so grace- ul, and pretty, and beautify the ugliest country.and Jim says they have to have their pretty new dress in the spring and all, just like a women. "Well, I was glad to get home to the arm All tbe way from the big road to the house we could hear the clear calj of a quail and the answering cry of its mate. The whip-poor-wills in that pine thicket were singing, the frogs were booming their welcome, and night, dark yet beautiful, was slowly drawing its mantle over the saene. Pinnacle and Stoney's summits were hid by fleecy white clouds, while Sugar Loaf and Try- On Mountain, darkly blue and wonder ully beautiful seemed to stand as guard iansfor the night over all the country side We could see the lights of Hender eonville twinkling faroff in the distance' We could hear the clear song of some belated traveler as he trudged along the road, the birds were gradually quieting to rest, the wind was whispering good night to the pines, and a great peace seemed to settle down over the familiar surroundings.Yes,Iwas glad to get home, andas Jim lifted lif tie Vesta out of the wagon he says he was glad to get home, too, Jim says."

C.'B. JUSTICE, . - . agent for the Heirs of .Branson,' ' ' . Hoyt and Mclntire CRAIG A CANDIDATE. Mr. Shipman Has Word From Asheville That He is in the Race. (News & Observer) Assistant Commissioner M. L.. .Ship man, of the Bureau of Labor and Print ing, returned yesterday from Hender sonville, where he went last . Thursday by request of the Democratic executive committee and candidates to assist In the city campaign,- which resulted , with a sweeping victory for the democracy I Mr. Shipman is happy oyer the result and says it is the most sweeping victory the Democrats of his town have ex perienced in twelve years. They have been playing a losing game ever since 1906, when some of their members joined in a"citizens"movement with the Republicans and captured all the offices. Even after the negro was put out of " politics some Democrats have continued to affiliate with the Republicans aDd make possible, the election of fusioa candidates over straight Democrats. But the organization never despaired and this year succeeded in uniting every faction upon ttye regularly nominated Democratic ticket. The opposition made a stubborn effort to induce two Democrats to run on their ticket, but failed signally and were forced to put forth a straight Bepublican ticket. On a poll of the registration the Democrats claimed a majority of ten and the Re publicans said they had fifteen to their credit; The Democratic irorkers de termined to take no chances and came out with twenty-eight "to the good," a marjority nearly three times as large as they expected. "Did you hear anything definite re garding the supposed candidacy of Hon Locke Craig for governor?" Mr. Ship man was asked yesterday. "I did," he replied. "Mr. Craig's friends have lately taken the precaution to investigate the feeling toward him by leading Democrats in various sections of the State and appear to be rery , much gratified at the encouragement they have already received. They declare that his - prospects for receiving the nomination are exceedingly flattering and the developments each day confirm them more strongly in the belief that he will be nominated. Pledges of sup port have come in from nearly eyery county in the State without regard to sectien or previous condition of seryi tude say his friends up there, who are on the inside, and they firmly believe he will be.the next governor." Mr. Shipman says the democracy was never in better trim. In the west than it is at this time. The best of feeling pre vails everywhere and there is no indi cation of a spread of Republicanism in that section. The results- of Tuesday's election in Asheville, Hendereonville, Waynesville, Brevard and elsewhere in the mountain counties indicate favor able conditions over the hills of Ottaray and bodes good for the party which stands for "equal rights to and special privileges to none." Mr. Craig's Statement, When the. foregoing dispatch was shown to Mr. Craig by a Citizen repre sentative he said in reply to a question: "I have said that I would appreciate any honorable efforts that my friends can put forth in my behalf. Many of them feel that Western North Carolina is entitled to the gubernatorial nomi nation this time, and they have asked me to make the race. I am deeply grateful for the honor of even being ask ed to enter the gubernatorial contest.' From various sources it was: learned last night that Mr. Craig has pledges of support from sections of the state which have never before inclined toward a candidate from Western North Carolina. Prominent politicians of the city Assert that Mr. Craig stands an excellent chance for the nomination. A vigoroug campaign will be waged between now and the next Democratic state conven-. tion, and every. county of the , state will receive attention from the friends and supporters of Mr. Craig.
