The hour is late, darkness is fast clos

sinner. The fireflies are weaving a I
fantastic pattern in the darkness and
only the souDd of a galloping horse Is
heard in the distance. Nearer and
nearer i comes. As it approaches the
residence of Mr. MarkvEdney it is seen
that two young men, V. E. Grant and
Winifred Davis, are -in the light run
about, which the powerful horse has
been jerking along at breakneck speed
over the country road which has not yet
felt the improving hand of General
Road Supervisor Patton. " The horse is
hitched in a secluded spot. The young
men cautiously approach the home of
Mr. Edney.. A ladder

All is dark and silent and solemn, only
the murmur of the pines baing heard.

The big contest inaugurated at Hunt
er's is already a success. The polls op
ened on a clear, pretty day and a heavy
balloting began from the first. Consid
ering that the election was new and
that this was its opening day Mr. Hunt
er says he was highly pleased with the
energetic spirit with which if was laun
ched. The first man at the big ballot
box to cast his vote was Mayor Michael
Schenck. The mayor like almost all the
voters cast his ballot secretly and no
one knows who he is pulling for. -Judging
from what Mr. Hunter says he was
in hopes that .he would know about
whom each voter was voting for so be
would have some idea who was running
ahead, but it seems almost every one is
On the highest authority we can state
that there is now but "one obstacle In
the way of this gigantic scheme, and
that is the UNREASONABLE deV
mands of about ten property owners.
Practically every other detail is now
settled, and It is. inconceivable that
afew men will block an enterprise of
such importance to the whole commun
ity as this. If these ten property
owners give prices which compare with
the values of adjoining property, the
lake will certainly be built.
The Bank Statement.
The statement of the bank of Hender
sonville which appears elsewhere in
this issue, shows deposits amounting to
$115,141.77, a heavy gain since the last
report in March. This is especially .
gratifiying to the officers of the bank
when the fact that this is the worst time
of the year is taken into consideration.
The Bank of Hendersonville is now the
depository for state, city and county
.funds. .''
