neghbors gasp and say Il swow." out around
Oakdalo. on Long Island. 1t has been
tolerably plain that some things were
different from what they used to be.
and il any young man wanted f0ks
to think he was some body OF any account he'd
got TO get hold of n patch Of land somewhere.
If any proof OF this statement has boon want
ing heretofore, there are plenty OF folks ready
to go bail that It's as plain as awhile star on
Dutch cows face since one Of the Vanderbilt
BOYS came to North Carolina to turn planter
Steam yachts and sailing yachts and Newport
cottages and Lenox villas and Tuxedo parks
are all very fine, but il any young fellow wants
to bs in style he's now got TO go into the coun-
try and turn planter.
The first ANYBODY knew in this country about
this Vanderbilt matter was nearly two years
ago. Late in 1858 Lawyer Charles McNamee
Of tho Now York law firm OF Davis. Work *
McNamee camo hore and began to buy up lit
lie patches Of ground over on the southerly
side OF the Swannanoa River Nobody paid
any attention to his doings at first, because
they did not appear to amount to anything.
He bought six acres OF P. Nj. Jones for slG0
ana S5's acres of Laura L. Cain for $1,000. and
several lots from S. II. Reed as guardian pay
ing from 800 for q 37-acre lot to So 25 for a
lot OF l22a acres DO the Same more or less.
But he kept on buying, and by and by people
began to notice that no was buying all the land
joining the land he'd already bought, and with
that young man working for tho Citizen news
paper went to the Office OF the Recorder OF
Deeds and found that 1t wasn't McNamee after
oil that wss buying the land. but George w.

Vanderbilt, whom everybody hereabouts had
heard OF as one OF the smartest OF all the Van
derbilt boys.
The way prices OF land on yon side OF the
Swannanoa rose about that timo was n eau
ton. but Lawyer McNamee kept on buying up
tho Joining farms until he had turned over to
young George Vanderbilt something like 5000
acres OF the prettiest lot OF farm land any
where in these parts" at least that is what all
tho noghbors said. and most of them had
lived here pretty much all their lives and ought
TO know.
As was said. tho land is all on yon side tho
Swannanoa, as viewed from Ashsvillo, but it
lies along stream that is called tho French
Broad River by tho white folks, though when
tho Cherokee Indians had 1t they called 1t
TahGeeostee-t Father of Waters. That is
what Mr. Vanderbilt says he wishes It was
called now. and he ought 10 have his way
about 1t, because four miles Of the creek now
lies in his plantation and h0 paid about half a
million OF good money for tho plantation. Be-
sides. Tahkeeostee sounds musical. while
French Broad is neither musical nor aescrip-
s-e-.- he stream is neither French nor broad.
Tho purchase OF all this land by the young
Now Yorker set everybody to talking and some
TO asking questions OF Mr.. NcNameo. But MIR.
McNamee wouldn't tell what it was purchased
for, and so ovory body made guesses about it.
Tho guesses were very much to tho credit OF
the young man, for they all supposed that
some educational institution was to DO erected
there. Some thought FREQ college for girls
was to be built, and others that free industrial
school, on a magnificent scale, for boys would
be the thing However,, they wero all wrong,
for on Oct. &c, 1889, The SUN told them what
the ground had been purchased for. On that
day one OF The suns young men saw covered

men took out Of the wagon model OF a house
