Last week in a conversation with;'
the editor of The Times, I stated
that we had a splendid, healthy
growing town with the purest of
water and . unsurpassed climatic
conditions, and this week I desire to
quote what some of the leading
newspapers of the state have had to
say, within the past few months,
about Hendersonville.
The followiLg is from the Shelby
Aurora:
"Hendersonville has well been
caHed the 'Lake City of the Moun
tains,' as numerous beautiful artifi
cial lakes nestle among the foot
hills of this flourishing young city
on all sides. With its spacious
macadamized streets, modern builds
ings, its numerous thoroughly equip
ped and up-to-date hotels, its excel
lent waterworks and sewerage sys
tem, its freedom from frogs which
so often prevail ' in mountain sec
tions, the hospitality of its citizen
ship all these tend to make Hen-
dersdnville an ideal resort -for those
seeking health and pleasure. ; f
f TeMlowing is quoted "from' the
editorial Jcommhs ??of 4 The5 Lenoir
v endersonvilieis justly jregarded
as oieL of .theJ progressive and pros
perdus towns of the statR" Ithal
numerous t hotels . ; and ' bbardin
hosies tjano! ;riai
deuces i . Its broai" well graded
streets, -twenty-foot- cement side
walks and ; beautiful shady . lawns,
make it " easUy. one of the most at
tractive places in the state. ' It has
good ; school and church facilities,
electric lights, water and seerage
systems, the latter being a gravity
system which the town owns.
Hendersonville has pure water, pure
air and a larger .percentage of sun
shine than almost any town in the
United States." '
f The following is from the North
Wilkesboro Hustler:
"People who travel the globe
Cj5rry Hendersonville in their hearts.
Among the delightful drives, is one
of five miles around Osceola lake
and to Mount Hebron on a graded
roadway to the'summit; over; four
thousand feet above sea level, and
capped with a high tower for sight
seejng. Other sights of wonder and
beauty are Laurel Park, Hickory
Kut Gap and Chimney RocfcFlat
Rock, Jump Off, Green and French
Broad Rivers. - The . mountains are
dotted with costly summer homes
presenting granite walls, lawns and
lakes." V . - - ,
f The following paragraph is from
an.editorial in the Concord Times:
" Hendersonville has ; just pent
$18,000 on cement; sidewalks. It
has three banks (four now), several
large hotels ,and twd : railroads.
Nearly 100 residences are now" un-
der construction or have just: been
finished. The altifude is 2250 feet
Its climate is as delightful and
Healthful as can be found anywhere."
The Christian Sun of Greensboro
says
; "Hendersonville used to ,. be a
struggling mountain village land
that not many years ago. It is now
a city of all : modern proportions,
comforts' and t conveniences, wide
spreading streets," miles of paved
sidewalks water and ' electric light
systems, some magnificent residen
ces, hundreds of handsome cottages
for summer dwellers . and hotels-
ample, well equipped and sufiicierit
fy supplied. -y. Hie atmosphere .is
certainly wholesome; healthful and
invigorating in this cit that1 nestles
on a wide spreading ;; plateau, v sur
rounded on all sides by unnumber
ed,., blue-domed, towering moun
tains. The people are a kindly and
cordial sort"
I will hot quote further now from
what the press of the state has had
to say complimentary to Hender
sonville, but will say just here that
the contract having already been
letihe task of grading and , putting
dwji cement sidewalks on our' side
streets, to the . amount of , twenty
thousand dollars will be begun at
once. Work preparatory to the
construction of the new People's
National Bank building, is now, go
ing on. This bank building, I , un
derstand, is to be of, reinforced con
crete, and is to cost ut the neighbor
hood of thirty thousand dollars
utner ousiness nouses ana a con
siderable number of residences will
be erected in Hendersonville .within
the next few months, and prospects
for the building of an electric street
railroad within the near future, are
said to be good. Considerable im
provements, I am told, will be made
this spring at Kanuga Lakeland a
number of new residences will, I am
informed, be erected in the country
surrounding our City, all of which
will mean the expenditure of con
siderable sums of money. And
with the farm products of the south
bringing fancy prices Henderson
ville is expecting, and no doubt will
have, her usual number of "summer
tourists this year, who will spend
considerable money among us., Up
on the ; whbte the i outlook for; the
iuture growin ana aeveiopmeni oi
our city is exceedingly bright.

Should Be
Wrapped Up
Did you ever hear of a time or
place when money would not be ac
cepted? Aarding to an order re
cently , issued by P. V. .DeGraw,
fourth assistant postmaster general t
money placed loose in rural mail
boxes will not be accepted for
stamps.' You must wrap up the
money. The order is as follows:
"In view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins
in boxes by rural patrons has grown
and the delay in the delivery and
collection of mail and the hardship
imposed on rural carriers incident
thereto, you are informed that com
mencing February' 15 rural letter
carriers will not be required to col
lect loose coins from rural boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in
envelope or wrap in paper, or de
posit in coin receptacle, so they can
be easily taken from boxes. Car
riers will be required to lift such
coins and when accompanied by
mail for dispatch attach the required
stamp."

Squire J. Manley Lyda of Edney
ville. R. F. D. No. 1, was in town
Wednesday and called at this office.
He brought with him a news item
which was truly remarkable. He
has been doing some clearing lately,
aad one of the trees which he had
cut down last week was a white
oak EIGHT HUNDRED years old.
We greatly regret the unto ard fate
which cut eff this vigorous young
free in its prime.
, Among our callers last week, was
G. W- Merrell who has recently re
turned from Oklahoma City. Mr.
Menell spoke very enthusiastically
of his western home and said that
Oklahoma is "the best poor manSs
country in the world." r
A-Change
Indicated
', Following is an extract from re- ,
cant Washington correspondence of
th 3 Charlotte Observec b - , .
Tt has' developed hem witbin the
past week that the republican lead
ers are determined "Jto hold what
congressional districts . they now
have in North Carolina and add
two, three or four more.; Special
efforts will be made ; to carry the
ninth, thirl; seventh- i'and sixth.
The election Representative More
head to the congressional 'commit
tee was the beginning , of this cam
paign. It is understood here . that ,
the republicans believe' that .by
making the tight nominations they
can certainly win the ninth and the
third districts. Up rto this , time
candidates have not been discussed
but it is a fact that; the districts'
have been canvassed by counties
and those interested have conclud
ed to make desperate fights in . the
ones mentioned irt tlw. foregoing
sentences.
PRESIDENT TAFTS DESIRE
"President Taft has begun to
realize the true situation in the
South and will help in this move
ment to increase the number of.
republican congressmen from , Vir
ginia, North Carolina,, Tennessee
and Kentucky. Therpris a hitch
betweed Mr. Taft and Postmaster
I Hitchcock. Men on the inside., in
j Washington say that Mr. Hitchcock
does not care especially, about elect
, ing congressmen in tfye $outh but is
more concerned about . delegations
to presidential, contentions,. Mr,
Taft, on the other -.hand, is very
anxious to have a congress that will
carry out his policies la Recently the
President has said that he wou.Id
rather be defeated for renomina
tion than to fail to do what he
thinks the republican platform, on
which ne was elected, promised ,
that he would do." .
