The Great Lake.

Progress is being steadily made on
the survey of the lake, the field force
of eight men working hard in order to
get the work finished this week. The
water line has been established at the
shore line of about thirty miles in
length. On DEVILS Fork, across the
upper part of S. M. McCall's land, a
quarter mile this side of the old How
ard Gap road; on Bats Fork, it will be
one mile above Major Barker's land;
on BehriDg Mill Greek, the line crossed
a quarter of mile above intersection
of the Upward Road and that creek;
on Mud Creek the line crossed the Nor
ton land half mile above Shep herds
bridge. The north end of Mud Creek
trestle is just at the water line, while
the south end is probably ten feet above.
There will be five distinct prongs to
the great lake, and at one point on Bats
Fork it will be over mile wide.
AS the engineers have progressed In
their work and find out just where the
lake will lie, they are more than ever
impressed with the great natural beauty
which will surround it, and it is safe to
say that nowhere will there be body
of water to compare with it.
On the authority of one of the officers
of the company, the statement may be
made that work will be started by next
summer.
ALI the timber and underground will
have to be cleared cut, the timber
probably being given for cutting and
taking it away.
There has been another ten percent
assessment levied on the stock, and it
is desirable that it be paid promptly, as
the expenses of the company are heavy.

Wealth in Agriculture!

An official government report announces
that ten of the leading farm crops returned
a revenue of SO, ,69S, ,6O4. $40 to the rural
population of the United States in 1905.
It is estimated that when the harvest totals
for this year have been made the income
from such crops will reach $3,O00,00O, 900.
That sum is equal to about five times the
annual revenue of our country. The pur-
chasing power of agriculture constitutes
one of the most important subjects for
financiers in every money changing CEN
ter In the coming few months that
force will be directed in the channels Of
trade. Every farm community will pour
its dollars into the comraerce of the coun-
try, Purchases will be made for the win
ter, and debts contracted during the sum
mer and autumn will be paid, with ac-
crued interest. Public schools will open
and thousands of children living in agri-
cultural districts be clothed and started on
the road to education. Every city, town
and village will furnish something to the
farmers and receive cash in exchange fOI
the goods. A crop failure in the United
States is felt in all sections of the world
It cuts short the rations of men, women
and children. 1t shows the necessity for
extending the system of agriculture and
increasing the fields of production. Seat

may be medicinal virtue in this strange
plant, and extensive trials of it along
that line are now being conducted in the
hospitals of Chicago and st. Louis. If
satisfactory results are obtained, the
market and demand for ginseng will
be enorm ouslY widened, and the Hen
derson county farmer who "9ets busy"
now and starts lis ginseng raising i'm
mediately will ind an unlimited market
at prices which seem fabulous when
compared with the cost of raising, for
all the ginseng and more than he can
get to market.
Just now, there's fifteen hundred
dollar illustration of this fact right in
town, and the farmers of this county
have it within their power to make
their exports of ginseng more than
equal the total of all the business done
by all the stores in the city of Hender-
sonville.

The Cabbage Snake Again,

The perennial cabbage snake' scare
has reappeared in North Carolina apd
many correspondents of the Department
of Agriculture are sending in samples of
the Supposed to be- venemous creature.
The cabbage eating public sre once
more informed that the so-ca1led ''cab-
bage snake" is perfectly harmless to
human beings. 1t may be eaten raw or
cooked without the slightest danger or
discomfort to the consumer. The SEN
sational stories told about this worm are
both untrue and foolish. These worms
are not poisonous. They cannot live or
propagate in the human body. No one
need be afraid to eat cabbage on account
of these worms.
The so called cabbage" is really a
species of nenatode worm scientifically
known as mercus albicaus. It Is normal
Iy parasite of grassphopper and other
insects. Its presence in cabbage heads
Is accidental, due probably to the pre-
vious abundance of insects upon the
growing plants.

Ginseng.

Capt. Toms has about ready for ship
ment, between fourteen and fifteen
hundred dollars worth of ginseng roots,
raised on his farm on Jump-Off Noun
tain.
This fully demonstrates, beyond all
argument, that the farmers of Hender-
son county have a vertible gold mine
right at their doors. A small patch of
rich ground, not larger than that COW
cred by an ordinary store building. will
yield larger income than the average
farm.
Western North Carolina is one of the
few places where this strange root
grows wild, and this section is admir-
ably adapted to its growth. Capt
Toms, three years ago, purchased his
first roots from men who gathered them
on the mountains. As he has gone into
it on very extensive scale, his initial
expense of course has been heavy, this
first shipment representing an outlay
of probably two hundred dollars while
an equal amount raised next year will
not cost more than five dollars.
There have been enquiries already for
the ginseng on hand. It can be readily
sold, before drying for over two dollars
per pound, and Capt. Toms has an offer
of seven dollars when the roots are dried
and ready to ship.
What Capt. Toms has done on large
scale may be. done by any progressive,
wide-awake farmer on smaller scale.
The ground must be rich, and after
planting iL requires very little care and
attention. This is the first crop from
paintings three years ago, from one
bed, which is being replanted now.
Next year there will be similar crop
and so on.
The possibilities from ginseng culture
in the mountains of Western North
Carolina is worthy of the most serious
consideration on the part of all our
farmers.
1t may be made to yield handsome
income, at small expense, and by utiliz-
ing very small piece of ground.
II anyone has any doubt on this point,
ask Capt. Toms to show you his crop of
this root, which has the appearance of a
white carrot, and which has such
strange medicinal properties The act
ual roots, which are almost ready for
shipment, and which represents value
of almost fifteen hundred dollars, is an
argument which permits of no denial,
and Capt. Toms has fully demonstrated
to all the commercial possibilities of
ginseng growing in Henderson county.
There is no indication of any lessen
ing in the demand for ginseng. There
are over two hundred firms exporting
il to China, where it has the reputation
of being cure for all ills, and where it
has been used for centuries. The medi-
cal fraternity of this country seem to be
just awakening to the fact that there

The fight between William T, Craw-
ford, democrat of Haywood, and James
J. Britt, republican, of Buncome, for
seat in the Sixtieth congress of the
United States has probably resulted in
a victory for Mr.. Crawford. Returns
from only the pivotal counties in the
district have been had, but the vote In
these counties indicates Mr.. Crawford's
election. The republicans, however,
have not conceded Mr.. Britt's defeat.
A message from republican headquar-
ters last night said that just before
leaving there at IL o'clock Mr.. Britt
claimed that he had been elected by
300 majority. In reply to a telephone
inquiry shortly before midnight Mr..
Crawford said that while he had not
heard from all the counties in the dis
trict he believed that he had been elect
ed by not less than 800 majority. Mr..
Crawford thought this a conservative
estimate.
The contest between Mr.. Crawford
and Mr.. Britt in the six voting pre-
cincts in Ashevil!e was most fattering
to Mr.. Britt This is Mr.. Britt's home
city and county and in Asheville his
friends rallied to his support manfully.
The six city precincts gave Mr.. Craw-
ford a majority of only 331. Two years
ago Mr.. Gudger carried Asheville by
500 majority. Outside of Asheville,
however, Mr.. Crawford ran well up
with the county and legislative tickets.
He made a gain of IS votes over Mr..
Gudger in the republican precincts OF
Ivy No. l, Ivy No. and Flat Cree k.
Mr.. Britt with other republicans car
ried Avery's Greek. This precinct two
years ago went democratic.
The six pivotal counties in the dis
trict have been heard from including
an estimate on the Buncombe county
majority. Placing Mr.. Crawford's ma
jority in Buncombe at $50, which is g
conservative estimate with only few
precincts to hear from, Mr.. Crawford
thas made gain in the counties of Hay
wood, Buncombe, Transylvania anc
Rutherford of 65 votes over Mr.. Gudgel
two years ago. In the two republican
counties of Henderson and Mcdowell
Mr.. Britt made gain of about ~ votes
Four precincts in Jackson county giv'
Crawford 120 majority. Mr.. Crawfort
has carried Haywood county by ma

The Outlook and the Atlanta Riots

The latest issue of "The Outlook
has three articles on the Atlant riots;
one, q Southern white point of view;
another, a Northern black point of
view; third, missionary college point
of view. The first article, by A. j.
McKelroy, of Atlanta, is dispassion-
ate review of the conditions immediate
ly leading up to the riots. and seeks
neither to condone or excuse the killing
of innocent negroes, but contains this
pointed paragraph which may well be
taken to heart by a certain class OF
Northern newspapers and reviews, the
HOutlook," included.
''And if the Northern press were to
remember the illogical processes OF the
negro's mind, how he perverts the de-
nunciation of lynching into an approval
of the provocative crime, it would leave
the lynching to be attended to by
Southern opinion and warn the negroes
of their danger in its committal.
The second article, ga Northern
black point of view," written by one
Carrie w. Clifford, who labors under
the imposing title of Honorary Presi-
dent of Ohio Federation of Colored
Women's Clubs" is an appeal for social
equality, pleads for the assimilation OF
the two races, and suggests that the
white, and not the black race, needs to
be taught self-control.
Possibly the most absurd statement
the Outlook permits this colored wo-
man to make in its columns is that "the
riot was not directed at the vicious ne
groso much as at the progressive negro >
which any one who pretends to have the
slightest knowledge of the facts in the
case knows to be untrue. Does the
Outlook present this woman's article,
including its plea for race assimilation,
as representing the sentiment OF the
North? What excuse will it next offer
for the negro brute who commits the
one unpardonable crime? AS Mr.. Nc
Kelway says, "if there had been no as
saults upon white women in and near
| Atlanta, there would haYe been nc
mobs and riots.'' This is a truism
And the Outlook is also asked to con.

McKelway's article: THE population OF
Atlanta is, in round numbers, a hun

Election Night in HendersonviIIe

Election in the city passed very quiet
~, and no untoward disturbance
marked the day on which the sovereign
people expressed their will and choice
of officers for the coming two years
The real interest and excitement was
manifested at night Returns were re-
ceiYed at the Hustler Office and at the
court house. The Hustler Office was
temporarily the democratic headquar-
ters, and not a few of the opposite
political faith availed themselves Of the
opportunity to get the earliest news of
the battle.
Chairman Brooks stood at the con-
stantly ringing telephone and received
the news from the different precincts
and from Asheville over the long dis
tance wire, and announced the figures
to the crowd 'Bob" Oates kept the
tally sheet, as he is credited with the
ability of being able to Figure out any
proposition on EARTH"
The business office of this paper was
filled to the limit with the faithful, and
the crowd was so large it overflowed in
to the composing room. 1t was jolly
good-natured gathering, who took the
good news with the bad, and found
plenty of time ts exchange jokes with
one another. The room was so full of
smoke it could almost have been cut out
in blocks, so dense the electric lights
burned but dimly, and the talking was
loud and continuous, in the infrequent
intervals when Mr.. Brooks was not call
ing out the returns.
The street was snlivened by some OF
the more demonstrative-ofb both parties,
and yells and whoops for Hearst, for
Hughes, and other favorites of the par.
ticular partisan were very much in
evidence.

mails of their own race, successfully
battling detection of the guilty, what
would the New York mob have done
under those circumstances? What could
have prevented their indiscriminate
slaughter of the Chinese?"
Possibly the Outlook, in these cir
cumstances, would have had some Chi
nese coolie woman write defense of
her criminal brethren and have pleaded
the only cure lay in trace assimilation. !"

jority of not less than 800. The
official count at II o'clock with two
small precincts to hear from gave HIM
a majority of 876. 1t was stated that
the two precincts could not possibly pull
the majority down to less than 80U. In
Buncombe, Mr.. Crawford has apparent
ly fallen 100 votes behind Mr.. Gudger's
majority of 678 two years ago. He has
apparently lost five votes in Rutherford
and so in Transylvania as compared
with Gudger's majorities two years ago.
Mr. Britt has made gain of II votes in
Henderson and about 25 in Mcdowell.
He has also increased the republican
majority in Swain So votes, according
to message after midnight. Accord
ing to this message Mr.. Britt has car
ried Swain by 325 majority Two years
ago Ewart carried it by 270. Demo-
Gratis challenge these figures and say
that on the other hand Crawford made
gain there.
Macon county, which two years ago
gave Ewart 81 majority, is said to be
close. The democrats are claiming the
county. Cherokee county, which gave
Ewart 243 majority two years ago, has
not been heard from, neither have Ora
ham or Polk, two republican counties,
by small ma]orities. Two years ago the
republicans carried Polk, by Sc majori-
ty. This year the democrats claim it.
If the apparent democratic majorities OF
800 in Haywood, $50 in Buncombe, $50
in Rutherford and 120 in jackson do not
fall below these figures Mr.. Crawford is
certainly elected by between 600 to 800
majority. Allowing Mr.. Crawford 800
in Haywood, $50 in Buncombe, 40 in
[ Pennsylvania, $50 in Rutherford, 120 in
jackson and 81 in Clay, total majori-
ty of 2O8I, and Mr.. Britt 435 majority in
Henderson, 100 in Mcdowell, 325 in
Swain and the majorities of two years
ago in Polk Sc, Cherokee 43, Graham
q, and Macon 81 total majority in the
seven counties of 1917, Mr.. Crawford
would be elected by clear majority OF
1854. Late last night democrats claimed
that this apparent majority 1854 would
be increased rather than decreased.
