Hundreds of excursionists left for mountain and seashore resorts over the Sonthern and the Atlantic Coast Line. The Southern sent five trains" out and the Atlantic Coast Line seven trains. Each train, was crowded, and it Is es timated that between one thousand and twelve hundred people took ad vantage of the low rates offered by the two roads. The officials of both roads took care to provide every ac commodation for the vacationists. A number of men in the Union passen ger station yard directed the -people to their trains, and each train carried one or. more experienced railroad man to assist the train crew in. taking care of- the passengers and giving such information as might be desired en route.

The Oriental freighter Indravelli was tied up'at her pier here this morning, after a fast trip from the far east. The most un usual incident of her trip occurred during a week's stop at Singapore,, where John Fickle, a J Lancastershire man, discovered that one of the stok ers who. had been with the ship for several months .was a young, woman in " disguise. The girl, . who was 16 years- old, told the offlce: that she was engaged to marry one of the stok ers and had shipped as one of the crew in order to be near. him. As the chief engineer was leading the girl to the captain's quarters shef eluded his hold and climbed the lad ders; followed by her lover.

Barrows; manager, of the Henderson- ville Press Bureau from Mr. James H. Caine, the editor of the Asheville Citizen. - ' The Hendersonville , Press ' Bureau has-sent out an aggregate of not less than 1,500 columns of -news from IMis Cl l jr. Some Qf this stuff, more particular ly the "volcano" and the "subterran ean river" stories,, have been widely copied,' and have appeared in every prominent Southern daily paper. The "volcano" story reached many of the northern dailies and is probably still 1 traveling. Both of these "nature faker" items attracted immediate attention, .for they were original, they - were, well wrtten and interesting. r . - It is 'absolutely impossible to tell just how many columns of newspaper space they have filled, but without doubt, many hundreds,. - i A recent, copy. of the Jacksonville Metropolis received ' here carried - the volcano story, under big headlines, on the front page,, long after it had been sent out. Without - exception, every paper handling it made a front page story of it with headlines cal culated to . attract the readers' imme diate attention. . : Editorial comment . followed the Ufrs story. Mr. Ncrm'an H: Johnson, editor of the Merchants Journal, when in Hendersonvllle recently stated that his press clipping bureau in Raleigh had already clipped editorial com ment and news stories about the vol cmo which in his judgment were worth not less than eight thousand dollars to the ; town as advertising matter. ; - ) The volcano story created more ex citement in Henderson ville than any where else. : ' . ' At one time the: e : was talk of lynching ' Mr. Barrows (a joke) ' for completely and absolutely ruining all the fair prospects of a good season.; The. town was. about -evenly divided the prooositionheveverr and the ithrjr- ofr-GLe, atotSjs-waafmitt' tc live to do further "damage." .An' interesting "correction" c tb volcano, yarn was then. sent broadcast and was generally published It rave a reasonable exolanatlon of the. 'frotcaRo at? d attracted general atten tion, of itself. Sho.tly after this a subterranean river was discovered flowing under neath Hendersonville. No time was lost in informing a waiting world of the fact and it made almost, as great a bit as the volcano success. ' Those two stcvies were sent put at precisely the right time to advertise Hendersonville. The value of this pub licity to the town to every merchant, every boarding house keeper, every citizen interested in his home town, rmy net be' calculated in dollars and cents. Should an effort be made to do so. the figures would be startling. It wci ld be impossible to raise an amount oZ money here to buy a simi lar amount of newspaper" publicity. To repeat, both these " stories ap peared on the front page, under , big headlines, of every prominent news paper in the South, almost - - The columns i of editorial comment which followed was worth as 'much.; The discussion of the "ethics" of such . advertising . . methods, a discus sion participated In by most of the weekly papers of the stae, was also extremely-valuable. ' ' . When "Mr. Barrows attended the re cent annual meeting of the North Car olina Press Association he found that he was best known, and ' his home town best known, as the author and the scene of the two biggest newspa paper hits ever made In the South, in the opinion of the trained newspaper men there gathered. , : , Aside from these stories, the legit imate news originating Ahere has been sent broadcast. The Bankers and Merchants conventions were handled in detail and . filled untold columns in the State papers. Improvements made and contemplated, accidents; visitors here and their names and value has-been i evervuimg oi news vaiue uas ueeiij mailed or wired to the leading papers of the entire South. . In addition to this a Henderson county news story, sent out by .the Hendersonville Press Bureau, has been accepted by one of the greatest New York aers. .
