Thomas Alya Edison, the world's greatest inventor,, arrived in Hender sonville at noon Monday; and after dinner paid a visit to The Times office. To a representative of this paper he spoke freely of the purposes of his trip. He said he was traveling through this part of the South looking for cobalt. He has already spent some time in the Piedmont section and is graduaily moving westward with his party in two large automobiles.. In reply to our inquiry what he want ed cobalt for, Mr. Edison said : " "For my storage battery. I can make it lighter, reduce the weight from sixty pounds to forty or forty five pounds. I already have a few in use and they are satisfactory ; if we find cobalt in sufficient quantities to reduce the expense, the traction prob lem will be solved." -"Do you find any indications around here ?" The Times man asked. 'I don't think there is any between here and Columbus," said Mr. Edi son; but mymen who are making a preliminary investigation west of here send in good reports." "How does cobalt occur? Associat ed with manganese?" we asked. "Yes, manganese is a good indi cation. It often leads up to cobalt." - 'Then you ought to bare good luck in Jackson county," said The Times man; "I went through there a num ber of years ago with a German min eralogist who said he found a good deal of manganese." , The inventor promptly sat up and took notice. He asked the. German mineralogists' s name and particulars. He went on to say that he was hoping for good results not only in "Jackson county but. also at a place in Tenn essee where he had men at work prot- pecting. v;;; I , , .. .

It is a handsome pebble-dash structure, two and a half stories, and contains twenty rooms. It is well built and conveniently arranged. The dining room will accommodate ninety persons. Each of the upper stories contains a bath room and toilec room. The building cost about $4,500. It has been rented for a term of three years to Mrs. Gover who already has a lease on Mr. Jackson's other house on the same lot. Like most other Henderson ville residences, the new building commands beautiful and ex tensive views. Dock Hyder does not believe in ex posing his large stock of goods to un necessary danger of fire ; and, he de cided some time ago to replace his wooden store by a modern brick build ing. The work on this is now being pushed and word has gon forth that it will be completed by July 15.
