Many Evidences o. the Good Work They Did For Hen dersonville. Messrs. Wilson, Smith and Williams, who recently repre sented our city on an extensive advertising tour to Florida and Cuba, and others of our citizens are receiving many inquiries about this city and section, as the result of literature distri buted and representations made by those energetic and enthu siastic citizens. The newspapers of the various points visited published consider able matter quite complimentary to our committee personally, and speaking in high praise of the wonderful attractions and possi bilities of Hendersonville. Below we give a few samples of the sayings of the papers about their tour and our city. The Miama Metropolis. "Mr. W. A. Smith, Mr. J. Williams and Mr. C. E. Wilson, of Hendersonville, N. C, have been in the city for several days, and left last night for Palm Beach where they will spend a day or two. Mr. Williams is interested in the Hendersonville Times, and Mr. Wilson is a director in the French Broad Hustler, also chair man of the publicity committee of the Board of Trade of Hender sonville. These gentlemen are traveling through the states as well as in Cuba advertising Hen Sersonville as a summer resort, A nandsome book, published by the Board of Trade of Hen dersonville, entitled "Henderon ville Illustrated" shows up the beauties of that country and tells of the many advantages Hender sonville has as a superior summer resort. The gentlemen who have charge of the publicity de partment are working hard for the advancement and advertise ment of their city, and will no doubt hereafter reap the reward of. their work. " -' . C Savannah Press. Mr. C E. Wilson, a prominent citizen of Hendersonville, N. C. , is in the city in the interest of Hendersonville. That is a beau tiful place and Mr. Wilson is is suing a very attractive folder, full of beautiful pictures and in teresting reading. He is trying to get the people interested in Hendersonville for the summer. This is not a very hard matter as everybody knows of that lovely town. Around are mountains and picturesque streams, and in the city are banks, a board of trade, a sanitarium and innumerable inns. ised at 69. It was a surprised old gentle man Sunday morning when a crowd of his boys, girls, nephews and nieces came over from Ashe ville and called on N. Buckner and his good wife at their home on East College St., bringing with them a 20 pound browned turkey with cranberry sauce, and angel food cakes, and devil food cakes and a lot of other good stuff that makes your mouth wat er, to help him celebrate his 69th birthday. The surprise was com plete and Mr. Buckner says he feels 69 years young, instead of 69 years old, and that such thoughtf ulness on the part of his children and friends makes him feel like he is good for an other 69 years. And here's a wishing that he may. Farmers' Line Telephone Service. The Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company is doing everything possible to encourage the use of the telephone on the farm.

A dispatch from Mexico City, dated Feb. 15th says that about three hundred people were burn ed to death and many more in jured in a fire which destroyed the Flores Theater in the city of Acapulco, Sunday night. The floor of the theater was a wooden affair, and last r night over 1,000 people crowded into it to witness a special performance, given in honor of Governor Dam ian Flores of the state of Guer roro who was visiting the port at the time. One of the numbers of the program consisted jof a series of moving pictures. While the operator was exhibiting these, a film caught fire and a blaze was quickly communicated to some bunting which had been used for decorative purposes." In an incredibly short time the fire spread to all parts of the struc ture. " There were but three narrow exits in the building and the panic stricken audience rushed to these, many falling and being crushed to death, their bodies choking the way to escape to others. An Old Stager. Mr. A. A. Duncan," one of our pioners, gave us a call the other day, and talked interestingly . of this section before and during the war. He drove the stage on the old Tennessee route from Asheville, and is full of interest ing reminiscences of the old time. We are glad to see our old friend still hale and hearty.

There is a movement on foot to do away with the old Stoney Mountain school house and es tablish in its stead a graded school at Balfour in the same district There has been several meetings of the patrons of the school held, and they have sent ! in the namea of six gentlemen to the legislature to be appointed as graded school trustees. A committee has also been appoint ed to select a site at Balfour for the school. So-there is a strong prospect of Balfour getting a graded school. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction with the present school system. ' At the last monthly meeting t)f the Balfour Baptist Church, Mrs. Egerton, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Freeman assisted the ladies in organizing a Ladies' Mission ary-Society. ... . Mrs. G.Campeach of Asheville, visited Mr. and . Mrs. E. J. Rhodes, of Balfour.

The first day the subscription lists were circulated some 400 shares were taken which shows jthat it is already a go. This movement will tend to in crease building operations, as it offers an opportunity to home seekers to secure a home like paying rent . The business will be transacted by the Wanteska -Trust, and Banking Co., thus saving con siderable expense, and offering unusual opportunities to' those desiringo build homes. It is said that Philadelphia has more home-owners in proportion to population than any city in the United States, and that city was the pioneer in the building and loan association business.

BIGGEST HOG YET; : WEIGHED 712 POUNDS Henderson oounty it .doubtless entitled to tht blus ribbon for raising the largest hog in the state this year. Mr. J. H. Burgln drove into town ons day last week, and entering the place of F. S. Ram sey & Co., the meat dealers, re marked that he wanted to sell a shoat They went out and took a look at the "shoat;" struck a trade at 7 cents a pound, and with the aid of half a dozen men carried it in and placed it on the scales. The porker was found . to weigh 712 pounds, and brought the sum of $49.84, equal td the price of an ordinary f steer. By standers who saw the porcine monster weighed declared that it was the biggest hog ever mark eted in Henderson vilje, if not in the state. - Mr. J. B. Sherman, of the meat firm, who has been in the business for manyjyears, said this hog out weighed anything he had ever seen. This incident evidences the fact that in Western N., Carolina there are great possibilities in live stock raising, and that Hen derson county is ahead of the procession in this as well asj many other lines. A Considerate Plumber. For the benefit of those whose water pipes froze during the last cold "spell" a plumber of kindly disposition and most of them j are, despite the' funny papers ! gives the following suggestions: "Turn off the water at the cut off, and if the cut off is exposed cover it with straw or papers, but before doing this open all the faucets so that the water will siphon out of the pipes. The water pipes will then be safe. "The drain pipes must how ever, be considered, and it is not possible or desirable to drain the traps because theyjpre vent ..sew,ex gas To prevent from freezing make a strong solution of salt and water do not be afraid to make too much and pour it into the basins and tub' until the plain water has been driven out The salt mixtures will be slow to freeze. Observance of these rules will save plumbers' bills and much trouble. FIRST ACT PASSED . District Attorney of New York has well said, the poor has hut. little showiner in law with the rich.

Splendid Tributes to the Old " North State, This is from the Tyler Tele gram, of Tyler, Texas: ' "The grand old State of North Carolina has a wonderful history. Her first delegates to the Conti uental Congress were instructed for independence from the Brit ish government The first de claration for independent govern ment was within . her State boundaries. She sent more vol unteers in the Confederate Army than she had voters, and lost more in proportion to population than any other Southern State in the war between the States. She is now prosperous and happy and forging to the front with her great industries. Her history is a great one and the sterling worth of her liberty-loving popu lation stands as an example to the other States. The grand Old North State, where the fire of liberty and self-government is never quenched." The State news editor of . the Dallas, Texas, News copies the foregoing and remarks upon it in his department of that paper, adding: 'Now you are talking, ' ' and says further that he "Knows something about the Old North State, because he has seen it with his own eves saw it before he ever saw any other in fact To have been born in that State is a distinction all can not boast of , but all who can, do. From A. D.' 1582, when Raleigh's colonists began their struggle for a f oothole in the new conti nent the people of North Caro lina have been strong, purpose ful, self-reliant and self-contained. They have tilled the soil, opened the mines, harnessed the waters and slain the wolves at their doors, generation after generation, century after cen tury, and today the whole State throbs with industry as no other Southern State does." These kindly splendid tributes to the Old North State from two men, both, evidently, natives here, v manifest "loyalty to the State'of their birth . which - is creditable to them in the highest degree is worthy of men ."born in North Carolina." In the same connection we are copying an editorial from the Washington Post of last week; "The Greensboro, N. C,, cen tennial celebration marks a sig nificant period in the history of North Carolina. One hundred years ago it was a Common wealth of scattered settlements. There were few cities of any great commercial importance, and other States in the newly formed Union far excelled it in wealth and population. The aristocrats of. the neighboring States of Virginia and South Carolina looked down upon North Carolinians with a certain con descension, a mental attitude which has not altogether disap peored in some quarters. But despite this, North Carolina made good in the bitter struggle of the War of Independence, and in the civil war it is still a moot point whether Virginia or the Old North State made the great est sacrifice, achieved the highest honors, and won the most endur ing fame in defense of the Jost cause. - "One hundred years ago North Carolina was almost a strictly agricultural State; to-day it is forging to the front as a manu facturing Commonwealth, and at the present rate of progress it will not be long before the value of its manufactured products will rival those of its "fertile fields, Millions of dollars during the past few years have been pour ingjnto North Carolina in the creation of cotton mills and pow er plants. All of its industries have felt the upward lift of pro gress, and it is doubtful, perhaps, if any other State of the South has made greater . economic ad vances since reconstruction days in the upbuilding of a great prosperous Commonwealth from the wreck and rum of war. The Old North State, just awakening to the marvelous natural resour ces, is entering a brilliant indus trial expansion in - generous rivalry-with its sister States of the Southland." We seem to have heard that some others States have in the past regarded North Carolina m a spirit of "condescension." Up on this our people have always smiled with amiable confidence in their potential selves. . At this time it has come to be known by the country that which the Washincrton Post ' nlainly mdi cates, that it is the leader among the States of the South, and that prophecy may not tell what its future is to be. .
