publicity never dreamed of by the
citizens of this town, 81.
The Southern Railway has shown
it's great interest in Hendersonville
by the extremely liberal and gen.
eIous manner it has taken hold of
their part of the scheme. With
out undue solicitation, and quick
to see the advantages accruing to
Hendersonville and to itself from
the successful carrying cut of the
gigantic plan, this great corpora
tion readily assented to raising its
TRICKS and the tracks of the Bre-
ward road, and to building a high
bridge. The spirit in which the
Southern officials met the over
lures of the Lake officials is worthy
of the highest commendation, and
is fully appreciated by the lake
company and by the citizens of
the town. The negotiations be-
tween the two companies have
been carried on in the pleasantest
manner, and, from the start the
Southern Railway has manifested
q disposition to encourage and
help to the utmost of its ability :.

{ ing.
So much has been written and
said of the future of Henderson
Vile under the great impetus it
will receive from this lake, that it
seems hardly necessary to add
anything to it. 1t has been sug-
gested, however, that the, town
adopt as it's motto, ''Ten thousand
inhabitants by 1910" 1t is claim
ed this is entirely feasible and the
population of Hendersonville will
certainly reach that figure by 1910.
The work of building the dam
and clearing out the wood will be
carried OH at the sane time. There
will be a magnificent boulevard
entirely around the lake. This
boulevard will be d istant 100 feet
from the waters edge, and the in
tervening space will be in grass
and studded with trees, shrubs and
flowers. An electric line will tra-
verse the city and this boulevard, ,
making it easily accessible. The
great road, 80 miles in length will
be Illuminated by electric lights
of different colors, sufficient power
for which and for operating the
cars will be generated at the dam.
The boating and fishing privi-
legss will remain with the compa-
ny, who have already indicated
that their policy in that matter
will be to charge a minimum price,
only sufficient to give the people
proper service. Rowboats, nap
tina launches and sailboats will be
for hire, and ample provision will
be made for proper bathing facil-
tiles.
The company will be obliged to
expend a vast amount of money
to bring about this transforms
tion, which will oblige them to
obtain high prices for their land
in order to secure even a fair re-
turn on their very heavy invest
ment and risk.
THIS will insure a high-class of
buyers for their 800 acres. These
buyers, in the natural course OF
events, will improve their proper
ty by the erection of handsome
residences, and before many years

The lake matter has at last as
sumed definite, tangible shape,
and it is safe to say it will be built
aud water in it possibly not later
than this coming fall.
The directors Of the Henderson,
Vile Lahe, Land & Power Compa-
nv met ih President Toms Office
last Monday, and a definite pro-
position was submitted to the out
side capitalists. The written pro-
position Was accompanied by the
bond to be given by the new COM
pany, and authorized statements
of just what the county commits
sioners and the city authorities
intend doing, also a list of the
subscribers, aud the amounts CIV
Oh by the citizens of Henderson,
Vile.
This proposition is to be accept
ed aud the bond filed within 30
days.
Until that is done it is not GER
tain, of course, that the lake will
DO built by the present promoters,
but on the, highest authority we
state that in all probability they
will accept this proposition, and
that dirt will fly within 60 days.
This makes the elimination of
the most gigantic scheme of it's
kind ever inaugurated in the
south. 1t was counted originally
an idle dreREn, vision of over
enthusiastic men, and it seems
now about TO become a reality.
The undertaking has not been
brought this far without1 meeting
bitter opposition, and it has oyer
come it and convinced its oppon-
ents of its worth and value. Some
of the busiest men in the city have
devoted their best business and
legal talent TO the lake scheme,
and when it 10 built it must stand

The Halnler Debt.

Mayor Harmer said in his speech
at the court house that the floating
debt Of the city when he began ia
serve as mayor was $4,000. He
also gave figures TO how that the
city's floating debt has been increas-
ed nearly $4,000 during his admins
tration. He pointed out the fact
that his administration had paid
about $4,000 Of the old debt, that
is, debt left over from preceding ad-
ministrations. Yet in paying that
old debt, that much of the cfty'S in
dcbtcdncss has not been wiped out
for il still remains and will have to
be paid under future administra-
tons. In other words he paid S14.-
600 of the old debt but to do 50
created another debt which has been
added to the floating debt.
In pointing out the payment a part
of the old debt and failing to point
ont the fact that there was a new
debt created in the Harmer year,

Some OF TIE leading advocates Of munici-
pal ownership in this country, including
a considerable number Of newspapers. have
endeavored to minimize the effect Of the re-
cent London county council election by
claiming that municipal ownership was nos
the issue at stake. and that all the success
full party proposed to do was TO stop the
wasteful management of the progressives.
While it is true that the platform Of the
reformers did include tbs stopDing of need
less waste and did lay special emphasis on
loss on the municipal undertakings might be
known to every one, it is equally true that
1t stated eategorically that a halt would be
called in municipal trading. one Of the
reasons given by the Municipal Reform Ga
zette for voting for the candidates of its
party was that they will con1ne themselves
to the legitimate work Of the council and
and socialistic trading" The London Times
OF February 27th states that the municl-
pal trading committee. Of the London cham
Der Of invited all the municipal
reform candidates to state definitely whether
they We're opposed to municipal trading, and
whether. If elected. they would do what
they could to oppose the system. Out Of
ditionally in the affirmative To both these
questions. The Times adds that in nearly
every case the candidates in their addresses
absolutely condemned competition with pri-
vate enterprise.
