The Hospital.

The. excellent financial results from
the lecture given last Monday for the
benefit of the Hospital has stirred MP q
more general interest in that worthy
work. As the matter now stands. the
ladies have two good building lots, they
have some ready money in the bank,
they will soon have the working plans
for the building, will shortly have some
lumber and other material on the
ground, and have the promise Of much
more material and labor, and last, but
not least, the hospital will be furnished
completely just az soon as it is erected.
They will need about 81, 900 to put up
the building. It Is believed that this
city Is able to do that much. The ladies
have worked hard and made many
sacrifices to get the scheme this far and

Prospects Brighter than
Ever Before
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS A.
GREE TO BUILD THREE IRON
BRIDGES TO COST Sl2, 100000
The City May Build Sewer Under
Lake. Outside Capitalists Here
Enthusiastic Meetings.

The three meetings held at the court
house on Tuesday all meant the same
thing-THE LAKE. First there was
the mass meeting in the court room,
where fair sized crowd was present.
Some Of the property owners present
made liberal reduction I'm the prices pre-
viously asked for their lands, and some
earnest speeches were made. Those
present were deeply in earnest, and If
the balance of the property owners are
inclined TO cut their prices somewhat,
the lake will undoubtedly be built this
Spring.
Then came the meeting of the town
ship supervisors, the first meeting un-
der the new road law. p. F, Patton,
the general supervisor, will organize
the different township boards immedi-
ately, when they will have the chain
gang at their disposal. 1t is proposed
to work the gang in making nlls and ap-
praches for the three new county
bridges.
Then came the most important meet
lng>of all. The county commissioners
meeting was called to order at 2.30.
Shortly after that time the room was
crowded to suffocation and the corri-
der outside was full of men. The rep
resentative men of the town and county
we're present and not voice was raised
against the petition before the commits
sioners. The petition in effect, was'
that the board of commissioners build
three bridges at an approximate cost OF
$12, ,OCO. and allow the chain gang

with the we'll known public spirit Of
Hendersonvill0is citizenship, they are
confident their efforts will receive the
substantial backing Of the whole conn
munity. The Hospital belongs 20 no
denominations but to ell. Its work la
for the relief Of pain. Many valuable
lives would be saved, aud much need
less suffering saYed, we're the hospital
an accomplished fact today. Scores OF
people who may not afford the expense
Of going to -Biltm0re, Aahevllle, Balti-
more, or other pisces for treatment,
could stay At home and receive the same
benefits.
Its the most worthy enterprise ever
started In this city and must not b
allowed 20 fail. It's ; good thing 20 ba
in favor Of the hospital, but what the
ladies need Is something more, and
that is MONEY.

work On making fills and approaches for
the iron bridges proposed. Speeches in
favor OF the commissioners taking fav-
orable action ON the petition were made
by w. A. Smith, A. Cannon, Sheriff
Rhodes, Capt. Toms and many others.
Chas, French Toms and Judge q. v. F..
Blythe, the attorneys of the board,
made . hit by advising that honorable
body to take favorable action on the
petition. It is doubtful If more en-
thusiastic, or better attended meeting
OF representative men was ever held In
this county. When the board voted,
there was no dissenting voice.
After the action of the commissioners
was known, the directors Of the Hen.
dersonville Lake, Land and Power Co.
held meeting with T. c. williams and
F. B. Martin, the representatives of
the outside capitalists, in the Office of
Capt Toms. AS result of this meet
ing it may be definately stated that in
all probability, the work will be started
this Spring, and over q hundred and
fifty thousand dollars spent here this
spring and summer.
There is only thing which can
now prevent it-holding the land
at unreasonable values.
No one can now realize what it means
to Henderson county, to have this great
body of water here. Nearly three
times the size OF ToxAway, with six
mountain peaks nearly 5000 feet high
within plain sight of it, a magnificent
boulevard of 40 miles around it, street
cars all over Hendersonville, automo-
bile lines running clear around the lake,
pleasure craft of all kinds on the lake,
with fine fishing and bathing, 1t means
that Hendersonville will be the most
widely known, the most beautiful city
Of the world. 1t will be the play ground
Of the world. In five years it VIII treble
itsStaxabls valuation. In that time it
will have 10000 permanent residents.
Every hotel now built will be kept full
and many others will be built. Millions
of dollars will be spent here.
Farmers will get three to five
times the prices for their pro-
ducts that they now receive.
There is no man so poor but that he
will receive direct and Immediate bene-
fits from the construction of this great
enterprise. Other enterprises will fol-
low and no one can tell the future of
the city and county.
These are not visions, but are almost
the exact words used by level headed,
hard business men at the meeting OF
the board of county commissioners.
They are the words of men who do not
dream, but practical successful men of
affairs.
If you want the lake and these bene-
fits, give as low q price on your land as
you can, The company is willing to
pay present values, but absolutely refuse
to pay prospective values.
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1907-03-14

A rather small crowd met at the
court house on Tuesday. Some earnest
speeches were made and q few men
present made reductions In the price
asked fer their land. Sheriff Williams
said the map shows the lake would be
one of the most if not the most beauti-
full body of water In the world, and that
for every dollar We spend on it we will
realize one hundred: Stated the COM
pany would spend q vast amount of
money here, would advertise the town
at the jamestown Exposition extern
sively, and in fact all over the
world. Believes it would increase tie
taxable property to value Of frem two to
five million dollars. At present it is
less than one million dollars, AID said
can we afford TO drop the prof 'ct?
w. A. Garland stated the Southern
railway would spend $50, 900 on bridges.
They will, Mr.. Hays was quoted as say
ing, have to change the trestle any way,
and are willing to do all they can to help
the big undertaking. Ii was stated,
that il the company took over the OPP
tiOns they would start work almost i'm
mediately aud the dam would be built
and commence to sell land during the
summer.
Messra. Williams and Martin repre-
senting the capitalists with whom the
local company have been negotiating,
arrived In the city Tuesday evening, and
the proposition has been submitted TO
them. They now have the matter
under consideration. In q few words
the matter now stands as follows:
The county commissioners will build
certain bridges and give the use of the
chaingang.
The city authorities, propably, will
attend to the sewer, that II putting it
beneath the lake itself.
The capitalists will construct the dam,
build the boulevard around the lake,
spending about $160, 900 this spring and
summer.
1t is said the city's and county's
interest will be amply safeguarded in
all respects.

banker of Cienfuegos, probably the wealth.
lest man in the island announced that he
would make no loans upon sugar crops
until the intentions of the United States
had been formally defined. He gave as his
reason that all forms of investment, par
ticularly those which are subject to de-
struction by fire, such as sugar mills ana
fields of cane. would be subject to great
risks in case Of the withdrawal Of the army
of pacification and the restoration OF Cuban
politicians to power. Such an event. he
explained. would certainly be followed by
armed uprisings and general disorder
throughout the island. with the burning OF
plantations and sugar mills and univer-
sal disturbance of Industrial and economic
conditions. Therefore. plantations and
crops could not be regarded as a safe
security for loans, and no advances upon
them would be made by his bank under
any circumstances.
It is expected that other bankers will
take the same position and no one can
deny that they are justified by ordinary
business prudence. If the liberal party
should come into power there Is no telling
what would happen In Cuba. few Of its

ice, vanity and love Of power. There Is
no class of politicians In the United States
with which they can be compared. The
greater part of them were exiles during
the Spanish regime. They were either BAN
ished or fed from the island to escape
punishment. Some of them came back dur

IMPORTATION OF IMMIGRANTS.
Procedure in South Carolina Case May
Be Followed to July /.

Information received renders it clear
that the immigration authorities. as one
result of the several conferences recently
held, In which the President, Secretary
Straus. Attorney General Bonaparte, Com
missioner Of immigration Sargent and
prominent men of the south have partici-
pated, will interpret the existing immigra-
ton law as It was interpreted in the South
Carolina case. The Attorney General has
held that the immigrants landed at Cha rles-
ton. 8. c.. last November are legally In
this country. They were induced to come
to America by authorized agents of the
state Of South Carolina and the passage
money of some at least. of them was paid
by the state, and of others by contributions
by citizens.
Several other southern states have decfd-
ed to seek immigration along the same
lines as were followed by South Carolina.

ports of this country before July l next
