Over one-half million dollars will be spent in Hendersonville within the net iwelve months, thus establishing : a building record absolutely beyond comparison with any city of its size in the south, and most forcibly de monstrating the faith successful busi ness men and investors have in the immediate future of this Resort of America the very heart of land set part by God for the refreshment of H:- people. -s a matter of fact V.ai few citis in. j-jhe south, quite regardless of their Tfcize, have ah immediate building pio- gram of more importance than has Hendersonville. The partial list or those who have expressed their inten tion to invest at once in the future of this city represents investors who j have watched the town emerge from ! its mountain village stage into a strug- glingtown, and from that stage into f Its present condition of solid and en- during prosperity where a million dol 1 lar bank is commonly spoken of on the 1 streets, where the combined deposits t of the two banks- are greater by far than they were before the war in i spite of the fact that an amount equal ' to these deposits have been invested I in war securities, where the farmers j insist oh good roads and who are more il prosperous and more wide awake to h their many opportunities than ever be- 0re, where the. cry is for more homes where the 7i OTlrt IUU1C LkKJiAA, it Vnn inside is filling up with greai !

HE LOOKED, . HE Arrived in Hendersonville on Sun day evening, bought and paid for home on Monday morning. C. M. Claytoh,' president of the First National Bank, Lakeland, Fla., has purchased the. Fifth avenue home of S. Maxwell; has paid the purchase pripe of ,$7,50a,for it, raftdt, .intends making Hendersonville his home for a considerable part of the year. He has established the high speed record for seeing and investing in Hender- sonville real estate. II ST LOT COST 01 $15,000 The First Bank and Trust Com pany paid, it is understood, $15,000 for twenty-five feet of Main street frontage adjoining its building. A Ficker, owner of the lot, paid somewhere about $700 for the same piece of land. This, but a few years ago. This is an increase of more than twenty fold. CITY'S FIRST SPEED COP Woe to the breakers of the speed or dinances now,, for the first motorcycle police officer ever here has arrived. Paul Johnson was appointed on Monday by the city commissioners. It is said that Paul Johnson when mounted on his flying machine can turn figure eights around the fastest moving car In the county. The commissioners intend to en force the. speed laws.' THE TALLEST MAN Buford Haydock, the tallest man-in Henderson county, and his wife, one of the shortest women , in Hendrson county, with their two children, were at the court house last Monday,' inter ested spectators at the Owens trial. Buford Haydock. is sure a tall man. In the Superior court he once tobjL the judge that he was "six feet ahdtwen-ty-three inches tall." His wife is be low the average' height: and rth,ev two youngsters are bright and sturdy looking children. BOUGHT! A 700; SEASON BYFEW -V-.'-' ' i THE HUSTLER'S ALLIGATOR IS FTER READERS Oh, see the ahli-ga-tor.! ' The al-li-ga-tor is running . a Hust ler subscriber to pay his dues. LOST One alligator. Liberal re ward if returned to The Hustler office. The Hustler has lost its alligator and the devil is shedding tears. He says he had gotten to love that alli gator and The Hustler printing office w:f!)oi.U. an alligator don't seem the same, like. He has kind of laid off work since the alligator left and ppendi most of his time telling subscribers who drop in to pay their dues, just how cute the little cuss was. Those were his csact words, we believe. In the business office there is a firm belief that the alligator .has gone out to hunt up delinquent subscribers td this paper. They don't state this positively in tjhe business office but they are. inclined to think it may be so. They say, in the business office, that it would take a real mean alliga tor to make some folks pay their sub scriptions. But then they are rather odd people, in the business office. All they seem to think of is collecting and pa-, ing out money. The devil says they are more concerned about the money with which to pay the . silly bills than they are over the loss of his pet alligator. The -devil sheds tears J while saying this. So if, tonight, when you crawl into bed and wiggle your toes between the nice clean sheets, if something cold and clammy like catches hold of your big toe and bites it off, you will know it is The Hustler alligator reminding you of your past due subscription. Of course, this experience majr be avoid ed by sending hi a dollar when your conscience will be clear and you can dream on and on quite undisturbed by anyj fears of his alligatorship. The devil says he just knows that is what his alligator is doing and fears some irate subscriber may hand him, the alligator, rct the devil one while performing hisr duty. J ust wh.t the '.devil mean's is; ilot ' known 'but that is what he said. So to rl'"evo the j devil's mind if yyi lind the a lii gator please bring htm. to-lljis. otllcV with one dollar, to apply on your sub scription account; -j" , i.

The -list of appoint ments in The Citizen the other day said that "Samuel" Y . Bryson ha5 been named to succeed fi. Y.

Of course everybody kmows "Sain" Bryson. but this "Samuel- business sounds kind of dignified andJ diplomatic like. However, the government never makes a mistake so "Samuel" must be right; We hope that the new post master may like Hendersonville as well as everybody else does and thatXstone and mortar in the form of mo he may decide to locate here perma nently. If he is as efficient as Sam Bryson in the discharge of his duties he will have to set the alarm clock at an early hour, as it were, and if he becomes more popular he will have to stir some. But still he may do it, and if he follows in the tracks of his pre decessor he win sure get there and perhaps beyond. - FORTY-NINTH STILL Sheriff M. Allard Case, last Friday, captured his forty-ninth still. This is a record, it is believed, that will com pare with any in the state, and indi cates somewhat the untiring vigilance of this officer of the law. The raid on Friday resulted in the capture of a fine, copper still of fifty gallon capacity -'and the destruction of 2,000 gallons of beer. The slill was in full operation when, the shcrif' ar rived but the moonshiner had received warning and was gone. Sheriff Case has brought in nine moonshiners In the forty-nine raids made. . SOLD COCAINE, CHARGE Changed with selling cocaine to a well knqwn business man in this city, D. H. Gilliland, aT barber, was taken before United States Commissioner George H. Valentine. Tuesday, and bound over under a $500 bond for his appearance at a preliminary hearing Friday. The arrest was made by De puty United States Marshal J. F. Gar ner of Asheville. . The case was work ed up by E. F. Merizies, a special officer from the Greensboro office. There are four .known users of co caine in this cognty. -Under .the new harcotc law the", "restrictions thrown around the sale tf cocaine are' strin gent. ., .k . , CITIES IN THE SOUTH OlD cfD pP (f) FSSSISJOB 1 A. SMITH. FIRST CITIZEN The coming sale of that old and picturesque landmark on Main street inevitably it calls the man who has done most to build Hendersonville, who has l ad the greatest vision, the most unfaltering faith in a Greater Kmrlersonville, in the Hendersonville of today the dean of the Henderson ville' bar, foremost leader in all things f - - f - , .. , for the community's 'welfare, that most viilo-W.

Smith, as ever uuruig a me aevotea to the best in- tdrOQfo flf Ilia follAiw tvj-i-n 4 -? . terest3 of his fellow citizens, stand not in the way of the public gooC. The property bordered by Main and Fourth and King is to be sold at pub lic auction on Thursday and will soon be filled with masses of brick and dern business structures. One corner of the property has already been sold to the Citizens National Bank, whose i new home will stand there within the year, the bank officials say. The growth of the city demands this development of vacant property and for that reason no longer may this picturesque old building bar the logi cal expansion of the business district. But, stragely enough, the citizens of Hendersonville will doubly profit by the change. For while the sale of this property in the heart of the city spells business expansion, and civic growth, the money received from its sale will largely be devoted to still further developing Laurel Park truly now the most beautiful natural park in America and a Hendersonville CITY park which has brought untold thou sands of visitors here, .which has spread far the fame of this resort and which has cost the taxpayers never one penny. Most big men have some hobby horse which they love to ride this is well known. .Fortunately for Hen dersonville the hobby of "Bill"' Smith, eminent and eloquent and straight thinking man of the ; law, that he is, has always been Laurel Park ad mitted to be Hendersonville's one greatest asset, of far greater financial v;ilue to HENDERSONVILLE than ail other scenic points of interest in its neighborhood combined. It in, per haps, revealing no state secret to scale that ample financial resources have been required to develop and to carry this property devoted to the b:i?flt of all the people, and that 7ir. b'-.nith's extensive professional income hag been largely devoted to thi3 pnr po e. iPerhips r is well' tor reAemb always, -tnat xixmuiuivy benefitted from this 'fact XT ore the real: owner of the parjf, an ' " (Continue 09 Lay 100,000 COLD PLANT STORAGE FOR THIS TOI A railroad , siding is now, being built fpr-thAHome Ice and Oil Com pany,4 a $100,0013 all-Hendersonville corporation whose cold-storage plant will certainly fill, a long felt want rean4 which will go a long way towards- v estaWishing an .all-yea ' market for the farmers of Hender son county. The principal stockholders of the new corporation are: J. O. Bell, president of the Green Rivpr Mannfartiirinfr Cnmnanvr Brownlow Jackson, John T. Wilkins -rt . and E. J. Rhodes. Mr. Bell is the president of the new. company, Mr. Jackson is vice-president, Mr. Wil kins is. secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Rhodes will be the general manager. The railroad siding is being con structed on the company's recently acquired property facing 500 feet on the Southern Railroad tracks near the depot and which is a block in depth. While the cold-storage plant to be built will represent one of the chief activities of the company, it will also operate a fifteen-ton-ice plant, and will deal in all kinds of oils and fuel. This branch of its business will be in active operation this fall. The steel oil storage tanks- and other required equipment has been ordered and, it is said, .will soon be installed. Coal, wood and other fuels will be handled. The cold-storage plant will be built on the unit system, permitting its enlargement as the business increases. All food products, such as eggs, but ter, fruits and meats, will be handled, and the company, for its own account, will buy and slaughter beef cattle and hogs. A certain amount of cold storage space will also be rented. For many years a cold-torage plant for. this city has been talked of ,V and agitated. It will go a veryy long way indeed towards establish-, ' , ing an all-the-year-round market f p ; the farmers of this county and r Dart of the state.
