Mr. Jared, our forester here, has taken a great pride in beautifying this camp in that he has made beautiful fireplaces for the tourists to use in cooking. He has built toilets for both men and women, and made a very desirable place for tourists. The Business Men of 'the town have combined their efforts with Mr. Jared and are going to build a twelve foot concrete dam, damming up Silver Mine Branch for the purpose of a swimming pool. The town of Hot Springs is running a light wire from the plant into the camp, giving them the benefit of electric lights. This has one of the finest cold springs to be found anywhere in the coun try, and they have planned to concrete this spring up as a safeguard against germs. In fact this will be one of the fin est camps along the road of Western North Carolina. With our fine roads, our grand, new sanatorium, a glor ,ius new High School, the most picturesque camp site to be found in America, our wonder ful churches, Hot Springs is soon to mount to the top as one of the foremost tourist resorts of all. The storm of last week in convenienced the people of Hot Springs in that the power plant was struck by lightning and completely demolished, causing a loss of between ten and fifteen hundred .dollars. We hope, however, to have lights within a week.

The school election was a "howlin success." Of the two I hundred and eighty -three reg- isterea voters, two nunarea and twenty-one of them came out on the right side. Only twelve votes were cast against it, and it s the opinion of the young boys in the town that, that must be the "Lurty uoz en. Very soon we hope to be at work on the building and have it ready for use next fall. All seem to be overjoyed with the fact that we're soon to have this new building for our child ren.

By J. T. EDWARDS I- o my farmer friends and by saved the $300.00, .saved his business men of Western N. C, freight which was $60 00 or Lome reason with me for a few more and $25.00 lmtoi h;n a great .car fare and a week's time REV. W. H. WRIGHT OF WALNUT minutes. .You are People, none better, as I am a Madison boy myself. I have watched your tobacco interest for ten years know the finali ty it is the best type ot'Burley grown. Almost 80 percent of all your tobacco is boucrht bv R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., winson Salem, N. C, and ship ped back through Marshall: then it is very reasonable to be lieve that it could be sold high er in Marshall and save the freight charges. there was shiDoed from Marshall alone last winter. 118 solid cars of tobacco, 23 from Barnard and 500,000 pounds hauled. This figures around 2,500,000 pounds that went out of your territory. Where vou figure your haul bill or freight with your by-charges, hotel bills and time lost at home. you can plainly see where your county lost $90,000.00 or more. This is not all of your losses any farmer who has a large crop of t&bacco will hold all of his crop at home until he has it all ready for the market: as a rule he then sells on a declin ing market and loses at least 2 to 3c per pound. Personally, I know one farmer in your county who lost from $250.00 to $300.00 this way last sea son. Mow, it he had a market at Marshall, he could have sold his crop ahe worked, it, thai-e-. way irom home. My friend, if you are satisfied to continue to suffer this way please let me know and I shall go home, for this warehouse is for you, not Edwards, for I have six ware houses at home, which h avp made Greenville and Greene County one of the wealthiest counties south of the Mason and Dixon Line. My experience in tobacco as a grower, as a buyer, compels me to say to every progressive man in Western N. C, that it is his duty to come forward and give this movement his support. The more stock I sell, the easier it is to sell. I have on my list a number of good men who have subscribed $1000 each, one lady at Hot Springs, Mrs. B. M. Safford, took $1000 worth for which we are indeed grateful to her for and thank her too. As for where the house will be built, this is a question that no one can answer now, as it is left to the directors and the directors are chosen from the stockholders, and elected bv the stockholders. Please call at your banks and discuss this warehouse with your Cashiers, and then see me at French Broad Hotel and help build your market. Very respectfully , MISSING SINCE MARCH 6.
