A. Great Success
Hendersonville's first annual Chau
tauqua has come aD'd gone, and the
verdict has been rendered. The
Chautauqua was a success. There
were many adverse conditions : the
date was set just too late to catch the
big summer crowd ; the rain reduced
the attendance at many of the meet
ings 'T the new auditorium was not
ready when the Chautauqua opened.
But in spite of fchese ' and other 'diffi
culties, the Chautauqua has been a
success. The program included a
number of entertainers of wide repu
tation and afforded to our people op
portunities which do not often come
to a place the size of Hendersonville
j The attendan-ce wa remarkably good.
and the interest in the sueetiugs grew
from day to day.

ECHOES
W. A. Smith : In my judgment the
Chautauqua gave the best results that
could possibly have been obtained in
return for the time, money and en
terprise that were expended on it. It
was a success from the standpoint of
morals, education and enterprise
F. V Hunter : Oh, it was fine,
splendid. To say that I am heartily
in favor of it is hot enough.; I need
stronger words to express my ap
proval. Rev. R. B. Grin nan : It was a great
suoccess. Ocr people have had a taste
of'it and now they will want it more
than ever. Next year will be better
Still and the date will be changed so as
to have the sessions before the visitors
leave. We had a great deal to contend
with this year, but we did well.
' More will be published next week.

LETTER FROM COL. CRITTENDEN
The following extracts from a letter
bv Col. S. S. Crittenden to a Green
ville newspaper will be of interest to
our readers :
Since I wrote you from this plaice a
week ago, and incidentally alluded to'
the importance to Greenville of secur
ing a railroad to this growing town, I
have received letters and verbal com
munications from prominent citizens
of both plaees approving the revival
and speedy consummation of this long
talked of enterprise.
Let any one from Greenville visit
this little town of 3,000 inhabitants'
but thirty-eight miles from us, at this
time and see the crowded trains of
summer tourists coming and going in
every direction, with 4,000 of them
filling every hotel and boarding house
in it, and promenading the one prin
cipal street or traversing the well
graded roads around it with many
handsome turnouts and he will almost
think our quiet city of 20,000 people is
outside the hustling world.
The exception to this is on Saturday
afternoon when our mill population,
joined to the city's crowd our thor
oughfares.
The road could easily be built if
taken in hand by the business men'of
both places, and on a line through Gap
Creek, Gap and Butt Mountain Gap,
(through the two ranges) of not ex
ceeding 40 miles, as I was told by a
well posted citizen of this town today.
A word to the wise, etc.
I have been to "Toxaway, the Beau
tiful," since I wrote you. The con
ductor on our taain told me, as I was
of an inquiring mind, that the travel
on his road was greater this season
than ever before, and that two. ad
ditional trains from Hendersonville
had. been pat on, making three each
way per day.
. Mr. Gates tells me his hotel is en
tirely filled, and that he has 250 guests
It is called the best here.
I came to stay a week and have re
mained three! After a ran home of
three or foar days, I shall return for a
three weeks longer stay.
The latter will be caused by a cir
cumstance 'unexpected to me when I
came. Minder, the auspices of the
board of trade and several business
men I have agreed to return and de
vote three weeks to making necessary
research and obtaining , data from
which to write a history of Henderson
ville and its historic old environ,' Flat
Book. The latter will be -a labor of
pve to me if I can obtain from some
of these high spirited old South Caro
linians still living, or their descend-;
ants, the information necessary to do
it creditably. - ''hope to have, a hand
gome Bouvenir of it by next summer. . ..
One of my greatest . pleasures here
has been 'meeting my old friend, Dr
Columbus Few, now 25 years a resi
dent here and for about the same time
a leading physician of both Hender
sonville and Flat Rock. It was Green
ville's loss when he moved away, - but
he has prospered. . .
S. S. Chittenden,
THE STORM
Hendersonville, as Usual, Suffers
Very Little Damage
A storm, which appears to have orig
inated near Cuba, visited sorat- of the
southern states this week aud did a
good deal of damage in places. The
North Carolina coast was hard hit.
Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach and
Carolina Beach were the chief sufferers
other points in this state and also
Norfolk, Va., and Charleston, S. C,
felt the effects to a less degree. In
New Hanover county the waves roll
ed hig-h up on the mainland two miles
inshore.
The upper parts of tfce Carolinas
were swept by high wincte and heavy
rains. Hendersonville escaped light
ly, as Hisual. The streets and roads in
this neighborhood were pretty well
soaked and the electric lights were
put oit of commission for one night
The railroad track near the depot
spread Monday evening and several
cars of No. 10 left the rails: but no
body was hurt.

9The Chautauqua is over and our peo
pie are now in a position to form
some opinion of the merits of such an
institution. It is safe to say that it
has now many more friends in this
city than it had two weeks ago. There
are a good many people here who had
confidence in it from the start ; and
they were delighted but not surprised
at the outcome. There are a good
many others who were doubtful ; and
most of these are now heartily in fav
or of the movement. The Chautau
qua has been a success, and a still
greater success is expected next year.

JOHN T. STATON DECLINES
Will
Not Accent Nomination From
"Citizens'" Meeting
In reply to an inquiry with refer
ence to bis nomination bv the "Citi
zens' ""meeting, John T. Staton writes
a 8 follows :
I have told fifty men in this ccjunty
that I would not have any office, and
I meant just what I said. I told McD.
Ray Saturday that I would not have if,
I have had the last office that I ever
expect to hold in Henderson county
unless my mind changes, and I don't
think that it will.
That is just what I have to say about
it. If I had wanted the county com-
miss'oner's place, I could have gotten
if from my own party just for the ask
ing. I will not take an office from
any party. I .haye all the business of
my own that I can attend to at home.
You can have this statement put in
the paper and oblige me that much.
Thank you for letting me know of
the matter at once so I could stop the
racket.
John T. Staton.
9his is gratifying; bat it is still more
V2 gratifying that Hendersonville men
had the enterprise to handle a task
which was beset with 60 many difficul
ties. It took both faith and works, in
generous proportions, and also some
pretty good nerve. For Henderson
ville is not yet a big city. There was
no suitable auditorium here; the only
available date was too late to catch the
main body of the summer visitors, and
the financial responsibility wa3 pretty
big. But the thing was done and done
well ; and the utmost credit is due to
those who bore the burden and heat of
the day.

U says the proverb. Is that the
reason why in eo many southern towns
there is a steam laundry on Church
street? The Spectator is not sure
about the explanation, but he has
noticed the fact. Hendersonville's
first laundry was on Church street ;

THE MAGNETIC POLE
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 18. The Globe.
Democrat of this city publishes a
special from Seattle, which is in part
as follows :
Capt. Donald Amundsen, discoverer
of the northwest passage, arrived here
last night on the Saratoga, from
Nome. At midnight he left for Sitka,
where he goes for further scientific
observations and to adjust his deli
cate instruments.
In an interview he states he believes
he has located the north magnetic
pole on Boothia island, although un
til all his data have bean calculated
nothing definite can be determined.
"My observations extend over a
period of three years, and it will take
three years to calculate them," said
he. "Until that time it is utterly im
possible to state positively what I have
accomplished from a scientific view
point. I believe, however, that I have
located the north magnetic pole. I
can not say as yet whether it is a
shifting point or extends over a large
area. This will be determined when
my observations are calculated."
