The criminal term of Superior court convenes in Hendersonville on Mon day fnr a term ol-two-.4 weeks "with Juage Harding presiding. ; In addition to . a number of rniiior caBe. such as drunks and" disorder lies there are several blind tiger troubles and at least two very import ant cases docketed for this term; of court. . " The most important cases, to which attention is directed are those of the mysterious shooting at the residence 0f A. A Carter one night and the trial of Charles A. Carlson, charged with embezzlement and false pretense. The Carlson Embezzlement Case. Dr. David J. "Fuller, who preferred the charges against Carlson was de pended upon as the principal prose cuting witness but in view of his death a few weeks ago it is likely that Mrs. Fuller, who is familiar with the situation, will be a. witness- for the State. It is charged that Carlson got into the good graces of Dr. Fuller to the extent of about $40,000, the Hen dersonville Traction company being involved as one phase of the case. Carlson was indicted nearly a year n?o but his case was continued from term to term while he was on bond. The MystftTious. Shooting. .

Mills and Thompson were taken to the hospital where it was thought that Mills would die ;..Ji a gun shot wound in his stomach, but he recovered, after which the de fendants, then in jail, were released on bonds aggregating $6,500. Carter, who Is expected to be the principal State witness, was lsq charged with shooting to kill after he had, been taken into custody at .the instigation pf Pennsylvania authorities, who have secured papers to effect the extradi tion" of C?rter to Philadephia after hi3 trial here. ...... i A large number of attorneys have been employed in this case "and a warm legal battle is expected to be waged, in the heat of which it is expected a motive for the shooting will be shown, The jury list follows: - First Week.

We are having our most perfect days, and those who ran away because we had a cool rain for three days surely have many re grets coming to them. Xature was never more beautiful nor attractive than now and every mo ment i3 just a little better than the ne just passed. One is almost awe struck at the beauty and wonder of it all. Xeither are we dying of ennui, for yhile most of the activities are closed for the season the residents of the Park have not quieted down by any means. We meet together play games, crochet and read and .take glorious walks, of which the park abounds. . The writer had extreme pleasure of landing in Hendersonvilie on May the 6th and not a day since, then but has been filled' with good times, good weather and good cheer. Long live Laurel Park! Mr. Wright, the guardian of Laurel Park, gave a fish fry; from fish caught in Rainbow Lake, to a few of the res idents of the park on Sunday after noon, September. 26th. . ... It was a very-enjoyable affair and the size of the fish was-A seven-day wonder to his guests. ' Mr. WN A. Smith held the seat of honor at the table. H. M. FLYNN BUILDS. H. M. Flynn is breaking ground for a handsome brick structure -next to his two stores in the depot section. The building on this vacant lot; com pletes a solid block of business houses owned by D. S. Pace and H. M. Flynn J u uu rAllJ DIT BY BUILDING AND LOAN ASSO; .ocaJ-'lMtltatlon' Matures First Series Friday Sept 10-Opens New . iumoer Series Oct. I. .- . The Laborer's Building and Loan association - of Hendersonville paid out to the members of the 'first series over $38,600 on Friday Sept. 10, in cash and cancelled mortgages, where the shareholders have either saved their money or nave borrowed to build homes during th past seven.:years. : This is the first series ot stock t mature of the , association and every year or. so from now on will be a se ries maturing. Beginning October 1 another series will be opened to the public making the eighth series of ths association. . As is noted in an advertisement In another part of this issue there is over fifty residences in Hendersonvilie which were built through the. buildya and loan association. While a majority of the members use the association to own a home, a good many find that it is the best method to save ' systemati cally. By depositing a - small sum every week (25c on every $100 share) the share holder soon finds that he has saved quite a neat sum and has hard ly missed the small payments. The new series is now . open, and with the maturing of the first serie3 on October lthere will no doubt be a considerable increase in the number of members over, any previous series. - . ' LAUREL PARK: PRESS COMMITTEE VISITING POINTS OF INTEREST. The chairman of the Laurel Park Press association in company with friends, through the kindness of Mr. W. A. Smith in furnishing, an auto for the purpose, visited several of the ed ucational centers of Hendersonvilie one afternoon recently. Our first stopping place was the Blue Ridge School for Boys. Through the cour tesy of t Mr. Sandifer, the Drincipal of the -scjiool, we were shown all over Jthe .buildings, and were given a gen eral' Idea of the work done by the school, we certainly feel moved .t0 speak a good word for this school and recommend it to any parents' who are coDsiderinar placing their boys in. a private institution, for learning. .4 : We." nest' paid a isit"to Fassifern such cheerful, happy faces we saw among the girl students and no won derit could not be otherwise, for everything there conspires to make it a most desirable place. The standard of the school is excellent. ' . Fleet school for boys was our next stopping place,, situated on Highland Lake, it is a most delightful spot from every point. We found Mr. Fleet very earnest in his work and a student could one say more? The Laurel Park Camp for boys, un der the leadership of Prof. Brown of the Porter Military academy of Charles ton, S. C, had previously been visited, and like the other private schools in Hendersonvilie, the beautiful, is an educational institution ( of which the city should be justly . proud. And when the Laurel Park school for girls is opened in the park next "summer Hendersonvile will have a school sys tem for both, sexes which cannot be equaled in the country. Now a word for the Patton Memorial hospital which we also visited. The 1 matron very kindly showed uj through the various wards and operating rooms and the writer can truly say that there is not a better equipped or better man aged hospital to be found anywhere, and right here is yet one more reason why Hendersonvilie has cause for re joicing. Several of the various scenic attrac tions have already , been visited by the press committee and after having the opportunity of ,seeing a few more of the ''beauty spots" in which Hender sonvilie abounds, a letter will be writ ten and sent to every city and town paper for publication in the Union, giving very specific reasons , why everyone ' should come to Henderson vilie not only for their vacation but for the year , round; not only for its pure air, its pure food and its magnifi cent scenery, but also oecause oi us good schools, and good business chances here and above all, good peo ple.

The Farmers -Bureau-; association met last Saturday " afternoon in the office, of the president, D. S, Pace Only a few. members were present to hear the report of Farm Demonstra tor Perkins of his work throughout) me county during, tne past year. :Jt was stated by members .that in . their opinion Mr. Perkins had been instrur mental In increasing the , acreage o crimson " clover in Henderson, county by nearly 10,000' acres. This would mean over $100k000. Increase in pro ducts for the farmers of , this county. A motion prevailed that 'suitably resolutions of praise and. thanks be extended to, Mr. Perkins for his valuarj ble work done in the .interest of the- tarmers tnrougnout tne county.; .While 1 many of the farmers it is understood-'large did not seek advice-from the demon- strator or . his department, j there was ' a very , large - number who co-operated " with him and made his service of untold benefit to - tho community. It is these farmers that j Henderson county will depend i upoa -. ior tne increase m production and they will be examples for the future gener- ations who are to till the soil: . That the work of the farm demon- strator will not stop was the- unani-'serve through the'present association mous opinion of the members present- al year: although it looks now as if his actual services will have to be dispensed with during the coming year. President " Pace stated that it was his opinion that the county, commis- i sioners would not revoke xtheir former order. He stated that any support given would have to be by private sub scription. The citizens of Henderson villb do not feel that they should be called upon another year to give $300. Without this " amount the work of a farm demonstrator can not be secured from the government. v A report of the treasurer of $300 fund shows that all but $30. has beer: raised and paid Mr. Perkins. , JOHN DALLE DIES SUDDENLY.

Some of the re- markable and thrilling things brought . out in this . conversation are revealed ' in the following extract. The German begins the conversation, and Middleton is the name of the English soldier-., whom he addresses: ' " " 'Happiness! AH my life has it; been my my belief faith religion.
