Little, of Spartan burg, one of the best known cotton mill men ' of the South, spent several days here last week. Mr. Little is considering erecting a $200,000 cotton mill here, and had several conferences with, re presentative business men of the town during his stay. He is now in New York and will return to Henderson villo with a well known New York capitalist, -when 'the matter . of building the mill will probably be definitely settled. v Mr. Little prefers a location for the mill just outside the cor porate limits of the town and has several sites under advisement. v While amply able to finance the whole proposition, there being absolutely no question on I this point, Mr. Little offers to furnish $150,000 if $75,000 is taken in stock by the town. It is believed he could be in duced to furnish the $150, 000 - if only $50,000 were raised here, altho' this is not authoritive. The shares would be $50 each, the idea, of course, would be to . enlist the people's interest, their acticooperation andoodwill, and to insure him against "any News from the Advertising Committee in Florida i C.

' J Tax Collector. Big Crops in 1 Henderson County The farmers of Henderson county are preparing lor im mense crops-next summer. More machinery and fertilizer have already been bought by the farmers here, this year, than ever before. One of the largest dealers - ia farm implements states he-has already sold more than double the amount "of improved farm machinery than during all the first six months of last year. The rapidly increasing use of farm machinery indicates the increasing prosperity of Hender son county farmers and of . the people generally. "v. Not so many men are depen dent on day labor on the farms as heretofore, and the increasing scarcity of help, is, in a measure, compelling the farmers to depend more and more on modern labor, saving-machinery. It is the opinion of. men who are thoroughly competent to judge. that next season, if condi tioria'are favorable, will witness the harvesting of the greatest crop in the history of this county. , Modern machinery and im proved methods of farming, are doing much to make Henderson one of the best agricultural districts : in Western North Carolina. , . v f It is the natural home of the cabbage, and the. solid-; car : loads of cabbage and potatoes - which left the station here last summer meant many tens of thousands of dollars to the energetic, farmers of . one of the finest agricultural spots in this part of the Stated HuniGip "Advertising - The Town of Hendersonville could well afford to make an annual- and liberal appropriation for advertising the town. It would be money well-spent and would return a hundred-fold, and as everyone would profit ' there could be no "kicks" registered. Try my White Pine Doors. Call and see one. v: , J.
