This morning The Times, after re ceiving the message, investigated the matter and ascertained that tne' deal was carried throuh by W. T. Rowland assisted by Charles Lee Sykes, and a delegation of Hendersonville men were in Asheville .for several hours in con mivi thnsA centlemen. In conversation the gentlemen from Hen4 dersonville had been selected oy tne United States government. The officials have assured the Hen dersonville Deonle that it is their pur pose to make of the Kanuga Lake es tate a detention camp which will be accepted by the entire world as p. model place of that character. The buildings on the estate will accommo-; date 1500 people now and the first ar rivals will be the officers of the ships many of whom have their wives with them. As soon as material can be gathered 100 cottages will be erected. End the men will be in the camp with in two weeks.

Every possible effort to make them comfortable and happy will be made by the officials who will have them in charge." - Another member of the delegation said that 90 per cent of the Hender sonville people favored the proposition of securing the camp and that those who had ODDOsed the movement had done so because they did not under stand the type of men who were to be brought to Henderson county. "In stead of injuring Hendersonville," he said, "this will really be to its advan tage.

ELECTION The election , for an increase of twenty cents tax on the hundred, dol lars for school purposes was -carried bya vote of 395 for and 134 against last Tuesday, The handsome majority shown in the election. is though to be due to the untiring efforts of the school trustees, teachers, and patrons, to say nothing of the publicity which has been handled by the local newspapers. When the polls opened Tuesday morning there was a delegation of .the school children, workers, from the Womans CJub, school trustees and an array Of placards, automobile banners and circulars dvocting the inclosed school tax Owing' to the weather .tiie children did. not reamin all day,, but the ladies and trustees worked faittir fully the entire day.
