U F IRUITFIL AHD, ; OF 5Q For the first time in it's history, Fruit land Institute is now out of debt. There is now being erected a new building, of 30 rooms, to be used as a boy's dormitory. Sufficient money has been subscribed by the friends of the Institution to erect this building, $2,500 of this amount having been paid in by fiends who live outside of Henderson county. The building is to be heated, plumbing must be installed and suffi cient inside furnishings procured to make it suitable for a home for the boys For this purpose about $600 will be re quired. . We believe we need only to call the attention of residents of this county to this need and it wiU soon be supplied. Fruitland certainly has 000 friends here Wh0 will subscribe one dollar each for this most praisworthy and laudable pur pose. If $2,500 can be raised outside of the county surely $600 may be raised bv its friedds rijrht here at home. The French Broad Hustler will start it off with one dollar, and subscriptions A View of to the fund will be published in this pa per as rapidly as received. Send all subscriptions to T. H. Posey, hnancial asentof the Institute, Render sonville, N. C. The faculty at Fruitland will be stronger this year than ever, the pros pects for a successful school year were never so bright.

V ' ' .' ;: '-.., i-, - The Rooster and the Bag. ;f That was a shocking occurrance on Main at., last Sunday. People who wit nessed it shuddered and turned, pale and asked themselves is there no limit to man's brutality?' Is there riolepth to the depravity of human nature? What punishment would fit those guilty of this nameless atrocity? Where were Mayor Schenck and Zeb Arledge, zeal ous guardians of the public weal' while this black blot was being thrown on the fair name of our city? Those who witnessed the terrible sight shuddered and felt the hand, of fear, cold and remorseless, grasp, their hearts, and turned away, sick with a nameless dread. It was a rooster, with a big inflated bag fastened to his tail by a long stricgl He was tearing madly up and down Main St., torn by conflicting emotions, sometimes on his feet, sometimes in the air, and going so fast there seemed to be just one long streak of rooster. He seemed worried and slightly annoyed about something, and didn't seem to care much who was elected tax collect or or who went to Jamestown free. I He had something else to think about and didn't caie if the lake was built or hot. 'Finally the string broke anihVitUt seen of that dignified bird he was head ed for Capt. Tom's swimming pool. If the guilty parties ate found they will taken before the tax assessors and compelled to list all their property at Its fall value. The city authorities say this may Je a severe punishment but they are deter mined to protect the rights of every rooster in town. The Rink. .

Advertising Asheville. When Asheville starts out to do a thing she sure does it and without any great waste of hot air. either. J ust now she is spending $2,197 in letting the great public know why it should spend the summer in Asheville and nowhere else. All this mony is being spent In Southern newspapers. The ads. are attractive and well worded and will bring results. Wer It not fr A. A. Gates, Hender sonville would receive but little publi city these days. Mr. Gates is nslng a great deal of space in all the prominent Southern papers. The cut of the hotel generally used, and the advertisements are attractively worded and well dis played, and occupy considerable space. In one, for instance, runs the phrase, 'Hendersonville, an ideal summer re sort, The-Hotel Gates, an ideal hotel." ' . Notici. ' Having qualified as administrator of the estate of Permetla E.

From the Free Trip Jamestown Contest. to In spite of the cold days last week which usually retards the sales of soft drinks, the war of ballots for the most popular young lady who will ret the big free trip to Jamestown as offered by Hunter's Pharmacy continued right along and the number of votes polled by the many anxious young boys and girls, bachelors and maidens, and. gray haired men and. women, were fully as many If not exceeding that of the first week. There was "something doing" when the big- ballot, box "Stufferful" was opened on last Friday afternoon. , Bill Stradley was duly sworn in as an assistant Judge by Mayor Schencc and after promising to make all the girls numbers as big as possible, the two pro ceeded with the second weekly count. Miss Nina Pace was found to have made the greatest progress during the six days and was entitled to the first place on the list. Miss Gussie Dotson received the sec ond largest number this week and thete two young ladies were presented the fine boxes of Kunnally's Candy. Miss Lula Gates holds third place, having made big progress. It will be noticed that there were sev eral mnlooked for changes on the big 1st especially between three contestants who were away down the list but who made big strides toward the top of the column. No doubt there will be sur prises in (he standing of many contest ants before the middle of July to say nothing of what may be looked for by August. Mr. Hunter says everybody s invited to call and see the list at his store each week: Report f (he Jmdgem. We hereby certify that the follow! np ist is correct as found by us in the sec ond weekly count out on Friday "after noon June 14th 1007.

Through the kindness of you or some other friend I had the pleasure of read ing your sprightly and newsy paper, of June 4th (The Cleveland Star). I love to read a paper that has the ring of true democracy and the Star certainly bas. I want to thank you for the many kind words written of our most worthy young man of Henderson County, Mr.' M L. Shipman, a true and tried democrat, worthy of any place the people can put him You cannot say too much in com mending him for the position of com missioner of Labor and Printing. In the first place he is thoroughly competent and always does faithful and effective work. He is true and tried. With best wishes for Star, I remain ' Fletcher, N. C. ' ' B.TVM. News MON. A. - CANNON 'The board of agriculture after thor oughly considering the proposal by you inviting co-operation on the part of the twe boards In the exoerimental work of the two inatitutions.declines the same. We are of the opinion that it would be unwise and detrimental to the best in terests of both institutions to comply. And, In view of the fact that the last legislature, after thoroughly canvassing both sides of the matter, decided it was for the best interest of both to be separate, we feel we ought to carry out their wishes. We wish to assure you that you shall have any assistance in bur power.v - , Hon. A. Cannon, member of the State Board of Agriculture from the tenth congressional district, referring to the above dispatch, in an interview with a representative of this paper said: "Yes, we declined the proposition o the A. & M. trustees for what we be- ieve to be good and sufficient reasons While fully realizing the work being carried ou by the A. & M. College, we believe the farmers who are now act ually at work in the fields, the men who pay the tax on the fertilizers, are tbe men. who should receive the direct benefit of tax derived from them. "The State, of course, makes no ap propriation whatever for this depart ment, all income being derived from the farmers, and as I have said, we be- AN OBJECT LESSON What the State Board of Agriculture has done, towards ex terminating Texas FeveMn North Carolina , - i JSr"" m.e.ti - " ' V-' X ' - -V"r WSf The Quarantine The Line as leve the money should be expended for the direct benefit of the ' men who fur nish it. We are willing to help the col- ege, but prefer to be free to work along our own lines. 'In this connection, possibly a brief outline of the work we are earring on may be of interest; "The work done by the department n the past five years in the cattle quar ahtlne question aloneis saving the far mers of the state , at least $50,000 per year, n enaoung mem uj maricet meir cattle at a higher price, besides the losses previously sustained f rom Texas fever, or what we call the "dssiember,' which amounted to many thousands of dollars each year. A glance at the man will show more fully than lean ex plain just what has been accomplished inihis most important matte?. "Thronffh the v crorous worK oi tne department, the United States Depart ment oi Agriculture has become keenly interested, and is now working in con nectlon with the State, and. have, .right now, more than a dezen men assisting in the work, which, in a few years from now we believe will cover the entire State. 'Then there is the soil survey, a nios t important branch of the department work, the object being to find out just what class of fertilizer is best adapted to the various kinds of soils. It will be readily seen how this sayes - the farmers thousands of dollars annually. There are five different soils in North Caro lina, and the ingredients of one class o fertilizer would by no means meet the requirements of all soils. There is much work being - done in the trucking and fruit industry, ami the department has employed Prof. Hut,, a vV - ; expert along that line, and a great in terest has been awakened in the Eastern . and Western part of the state in those important industries. The State Horti culturist showed the farmers of.Brushy Mountain how to spray their trees; the result was they wanted an experimental farm in their "locality. The people of Cherokee mountains are also insistent'7 for a farm. There is nothing which can . , take the place of an actual demonstra-' tion as to how to do a certain thingand this is what the Department is now V doing, and. with success. "The Board of Agriculture desires, in the near future, to place small experi mental farms in various other parts of the 6tate, in addition to those already ', in operation.' "The farmer's institutes are becoming a great factor in the development of the State's agriculture, and the interest and . , attendance upon them is most gratify ing. They result In bringing the farm ers In contact with one another, and in contact with men who are theoretical as well as practical along the various agriV cultural lines. There are 97 countles . in the state. We have held 164 insti-. tutes with an average attendance of 125. The average 'attendance, when I first'. , became a member of the board was from Line in 1901 i . A-rr' r it Is to-day 30 to 35. - ; . , "In connection with the institutes for men, mere are to oe neid institutes xor ;he wives of the farmers, with the same dea of h si ping them In their work, such as poultry and dairy, beautifying their homes and grounds. This work ' is under the direction of Dr. Tate But- ler, who has held in the State, within a -year, 164 institutes, with an average.at tendance of 125. ' , "The Department is also showing re sults in its work for desirable immigra tion. It appropriated $5,000 to that pur- pose, which was added to the State ap propriation of an equal amount. Sec T. K. Eruner has charge of that work, and just recently has brought, into the . state, 20 sturdy young Scotchmen, who will make desirable citizens in every way. He will push this work energeti cally and the results will be of direct benefit to our farmers. 'The Department, within two years has built tne Agriculture builciifc at the A. & M. College at a cost of $80,000, every penny of which came from the fertilizer tag fund and not a cent from the treasury of the State. We still owe $30,000 of that amount,, which' will take three years to pay. "This, in brief, is something of the work the Board of Agriculture Ii doing. We want to aid the college trustees In their work for the advancement of the young men of North Carolina, and will do all in our power in the future, as we have In-the past, to help make it a success.
