The entire democratic county ticket was elected, in cluding the twa-representatives to the legislature,: with the ex ception of two ' county commissioners. Beautiful Kanuga Lake and Some Local Stockholders The construction of the " big club house at Kanuga Lake, which alone will . cost over $10, -000, has been started.

' Work is being actively pushed along every line of this really gigantic enterprise, and - next season will see scores ofv renre- sentative people, spending the summer amidst conditions which j will seem to them',almost ideal. ! As has been told in these col umns, Kanuga Lake, with its club house, its cottages, its beau tiful lake and magnificent drives, is to be the" summer home , of a representative company of peo ple, the idea originating with and being developed by .Mr. George Stephens, president of the Amer ican Trust Company of Charlotte and an extensive : owner of real estate in-this city and county, Mr. Stephens says the encour agement the club has received has even surpassed his expecta tions, and there is now assurance of the fact that a most delight ful : company . of. people will be brought to Hendersonville in the near future to enjoy the advan tages which Kanuga . Lake will afford them. ' -" : Mr. Stephens rell says: "Of course, many of these people will become interested in Hen dersonville in a business way, as well as having it as an objective point for summer recreation and pleasure, and I am looking for ward to the time when my de velopment of Kanuga Lake will be recognized as one of the agen cies which has helped to build up the business and social life of the 'City of the Glad Hand.' " A partial list of out-of-town members of the Club was rece'nt- lv nublished in this paper. Fol AT QUIET FLETCHER M JOIIII GlflT. . KEEP YOUR PROMISES!

McBee, will be aired in court next week, and promises to be full j)f serisa tions. . : . Sheriff Freeman, with Deputy Powers, have been- spending most of -their, time lately, in serv ing papers on the different inter ested parties and in guarding the disputed property. It is said all the trouble and consequent scandal and airing of dirty linen originated in the fact that Mrs. Eastman wished to sup plant Col. McBee as manager of the, estate with a man named Edwards. . . , . uoi. MCtsee i now unaer a bond of S3, 500 in bail and arrest proceedings.

It is Said that Mrs. Eastman signed certain papers presented to her by Col. McBee without any knowledge of their contents, and altho it was her money which bought the property and furnished the house, that she has little evidence of record to show that the place is her's. V7 ' . , The most sensational allega tions of the whole affair are said to be contained in a warrant sworn out by Col. McBee's son.
