The numbers were enthusiastically and .per sistently encored. Alex Willson, one of the brightest students of the school, was unable to. deliver his essay, by the advise of his physician.

B. Gibbs, last Thursday, on the Flat Rock causeway. The trial attracted a crowd which filled the sheriff's office to suffocation. There was evidence a-plenty on both sides, much of it conflicting.

Ray took care of Mr. Cathay's end, On last Thursday, Mr. Cathay and a party of friends in his big racing car, passed Gibbs driving a team on the Flat Rock cause way.

Selling Lots at -Lake John LOrr has purchased the first lot at beautiful Osceola Lake, George Stevens buying the second. There are many in quires and it is expected several more sales will be closed imme diately. , The big ; Lake View Hotel is finished and Manager Lollis will take charge oh June 1st ., :;v :" The boats are now floating on the placid waters of the beautiful lake, and ' adoithe , finishing touch to a really superb scene. -' Each succeeding Sunday sees greater crowds at the Lake, on foot, in: carriages arid automo biles. It is a trip well ; worth while. 1 1 - 'f, Osceola The Hendersonville CVaded ScKool 'Bidlding m other nortions of V0 warn A franchise has? been granted the Hendersonville Light and Power Company for a street line in this town. ' car The prospects for its construc tion, as repeatedly stated in this paper, are exceedingly bright. Hendersonville needs that street car line! Hendersonville is going to have that street car line! Watch Hendersonville grow ing. : There's a reason! Fire in l's Store. If Charley Sunofsky's watch had been keeping correct time, that block on Main street in which are housed Wm. Hill's store, Geo. Liverett's store and The Times' printing office, would noWj be a pile of ashes. - About 10 o'clock Sunday morn ing Mr. Sunofsky, passing Hill's store, glanced in the window to compare his. time piece with the Jhig fregu lator in the store. He saw the interior of the build ing full of smoke Hastily call ing Mr. Hill; they entered the store and found a pile of pants muumeiju& un tiic pine cuuiilcx, started probably from a lighted cigarette or cigar placed too close to them. Tne young conflaga tion was soon - thrown out the back door. The damage i s slight ' r a towns anrl m W maooutit? UlS AlltORlOlSS The ; owners' of automobiles have exactly the same rights in the public highways possessed by any other citizen. .They . have no more. To allow any man to drive a powerful machine at 40 miles an hour along the public roads of Henderson county, endangering the lives of every other y user of the public thoroughfare, is the ' height of folly and rank injus tice to the Common people! It has reacned the point where the farmers of Henderson county are afraid to come to town. The beautiful mountain drives have been abandoned to the ex clusive use of the comnarativly few owners of automobiles.. The tax payers, the farmers of this county are being deprived of their own roadsf In New York, always in the lead in intelligent legislation, the reckless, drivers of automobiles are to be governed by the most drastic laws. In that city ten children have been killed in ten days by auto mobiles. In that state 149 people have been killed in 100 days by auto mobiles. ; In this county there have, been numerous accidents, many har row escapes from death caused by the reckless speed, of automo bile owners. Who owns the roads? What are the city authorities going to do about it? What are the county author ities going to do about it? What are the farmers going to do about it? What Jolin L. Orr Says: John L. Orr, who owns and operates two public service auto mobiles here, says: ., 'I have ordered the drivers of my machines to stop when the driver of any vehicle signals him to use their very best judgment in passing teams, to render all assistance necessary, and to cause the least amount of trouble pos sible. If good judgment is used it will not be long before all the horses in the county will become accustomed to the automobiles and there will be no further trou ble." 1 'own P. H. Branch, manager Marge Terrace and Victoria Inn, Ashe villeV 'T received the Resort and Lake edition of The Hustler and was impressed with the apparent progress of the town." : STRAWBERRIES AND CREAIL The Ladies Aid Society of the Baptist church will give a, straw berry and ice cream -sale, on Thursday, May 20th.
