3T0EE BUILDING WORK IS . "!
TO BE IX FUTURE, . -
Local Builders Feel it In- the Atmos
phere; Prospects Fine for Much
, in Ilendersonyille. V
A prominent lumber . dealer of the
city stated to a Democrat representa
tive that he believed that this Fall and
winter would see more building going,
on than in the last two years. This in
formation couples with, that coming
from circles of builders and contrac
tors in' Hendersonville is to tne effect
that construction activity is gradually
getting around tcLa normal shape after
a lapse of several, months. ."Following
closely on the heels of a somewhat
general report that new residents are
drifting to Hendersonville with a fre
quency that has not been paralleled for
a long number of years is the state
ment from reliable and responsible
builders in Hendersonville that busi
ness in their line is rapidly clearing up
and promise is. that an unusual amount
of work will be going on this fall. The
character of homes now being built as
well a sthe number both incline the
contractors to the belief that their avo
cation will resume its usual run in the
course of a few months.
Picklnsr up Rapidly.
Probably no business .was more af
fected by the war than that of build
ing. During last Fall practically noth
ing was done and during the Spring
there was very little activity. The
prospective home builders held off un
til such a time a sthey could see what
would be" the probable effect of the
war on this country. With a return
of more confidence, there is also no
ticeable the return of much more tan
gible evidences of prosperity. Building
in Hendesonville is as yet not as ac
tive as some of thetractors - and
lumber concerns would like to see it,
but the situation in this market is iden
tical with that in the local real estate
field, it is gradually-rising. People are
branching out and retrenching less,
going ahead with their plans without
curtailing to such an extent that busi
ness is entirely stagnant. ' ';.
Laurel Park. Activities.
Bungalows of character are being
built in Hendersonville's beautiful sub
urban park. Esepcially in evidence is
the summer home of D. T. McKeithan
of Darlington which is now under con
'strtfcQon. A number of lots were sold
this season with fair prospects of. new
homes being built this fall -and winter.
"The people of Hendersonville have
been holding back for many months
until conditions could be adjusted,"
said a prominent observer of building
activities to a Democrat representa
tive. "They have determined to pro
ceed with their plans. . They will find
that it will pay them to build while
prices are low on all materials and la
bor is plentiful. I firmly believe that
lumber will not remain at such low
figures lone. Its bound to eo ud. I
look for a considerable pick. .; up of
small buildings within the next few
weeks," continued this observer.
Rev. P. G. Elsom is building a home
on Third avenue, W., next door to Dr.
J. Frank Cranford.
B. Jackson will begin the work of
moving one of his residences on fourth
avenue so that it will face Church
street. It is understood to be his plan
sometime in the future, of constructing
a modern business block on his pro
perty on Fourth avenue.
Dr. Guy E, Dixon has a force of men
busy remodeling the Judson" college
building which he Intends to occupy
with his family this tall. .
Staton & Rector, real estate firm re
ports the sale of the residence of Joe
McCormack to Fred R. Scofield. The
consideration was $5,5Q6. This firm
has just closed a deal of the old Stone
place near Horse Shoe owned by K. G.
Whistler to S. R. Goodspeed of New
Brunswick, N. J. Mr. Goodspeed will
move here with his family in a few
weeks.
BUSINESS MAN GIVES VIEWS
ON MANY REQUESTS MADE HIM.
States That He has. Average of 3 to i
Requests Daily for Contributions
for This or That.
A prominent business man taking a
few moments time from his busy rou
tine of office work remarked to a Dem
ocrat representative that he had on an
average of three to' four, persons to
Call UDon him riailv. fnr frp cnntrlhn-
tion for some institution or worthy I
purpose. He stated that some of
them he was obliged to turn
down.
Others he felt that he 1
uuv give aa uiuw eta mc peisuu
who asked it of him thought that he
should. This same gentleman Is con
nected with a large business instituion
of the city and has had to pass upon
some of the-many requests r for sub
scriptions of that concern. He stated
that in many instances those who asked
could not understand why, his concern
could not give a small amount. They
did not realize that he was "only an
officer In an institution handling other
peoples money and that at the end of
the year a profit must be shown to the
stockholeds o ra reason why would be
demanded. 'There should be a live
associated charities or central organ
ization in our city and I feel sure that
the majority of the business men would
contribute liberally if it could be un
derstood that in giving to this they
would be relieved from of the manv
requests made during the year for such
purposes," remarked the business man
at the close of his interview.
S '
ffi, T
. The Star rejoices along' with .
many of the forward-looking
citizens in all walks of life in
that the county commission
ers have seen fit to put the
county farm demonstrator
back on full time. Messrs.
Fulton, Palmer, 'and Borders
show by this action that they
have the best interests of the -county
at heart and are ill
in& to make the investment
which is bringing such splen- I
did results in better agricul
ture. They have acted for the
welfare o'f the people general
ly and while demonstration
work is nrimarilv for the aa-
.sistance of those, engaged in
various branches of agricul- :
iure, it Denents the. business
man,- the professional-man,
and the laborer indirectly.; .

rapidly to the fore front in '.
