The wise voter will believe no

Time was when people COM
planned of lack of amusement
facilities here.
That condition no longer holds
true, as the finest resort town in
the South now has amusements
which cater to every fancy.
Beautiful Laurel Park, easily
and conveniently reached by the
car line, the most beautiful nat
urel park in America.
The Laurel Park Casino, with
its moving pictures, it's vaude-
vile, the adjacent lake and it's
boating, etc.
The Lyric Theatre, which of
fers excellent attractions at mini
mum prices.
The ever popular Bowling Al
ley, patronized by ladies almost
more than by men, offering a
clean and healthful amusement,
and to which w. H. Harris gives
his personal attention.
The Swimming Pool, which
attracts hundreds, and which is
undoubtedly one of the most
popular places of amusement in
the city.
The City Rink, with it's fine
floor and with the added attrac-
ton of moving pictures to inter-
est and attract its many patrons.
The two pool rooms, Hefner
and Cruikshank, in the rear of
the Lyric Theatre, and Vests,
opposite the Hotel Gates.
Then there's the Bible Confer
ence, opening next Sunday, the
Chautauqua, commencing Aug.
18th and the great Midsummer
Horse Show, August 1920, which
promises to be Hendersonville's S
banner week.
Surely, here's enough variety
to suit the tastes of even a crowd
so cosmopolitan as Henderson
vile boasts of this season.,

OpeninQ Of Conference.

The initial opening of the ann

featured by as large assembly
as is usually seen in Henderson

There were between 800 and
900 people present.
The preliminary opening was
featured by songs and prayer,
after which the Rev. r. V. Mill
ermade short remarks and in
troduced the Rev. George E..
Guile, of Augusta, who held the
audience with his splendid add
ress for nearly an hour.
The Revs. R. E. Neighbour, of
Salisbury, and Allen Fort, of
Dublin, Ca, are expected to ar
rive today to attend the confer
ence and participate in the meet
ing.
There are many distinguished
Bible scholars visiting in our city
and of course they will take great
interest in the conference :

Bat Gave Railroad
viii Be Built

The following item from the
Rutherfordton Sun will be good
news to many who had almost
given up hope of ever seeing this
enterprise started.
''The Sun has learned from par
ties close to the management Of
the proposed Bat Cave Railway
that the money necessary for fl
nancing the construction of the
road is now in sight; and it is
believed by those who have the
undertaking in charge that funds
will soon be available with which
to begin actual work on the road
bed. This line Of course is to
connect Rutherfordton with Hen
dersonville and Asheville and will
open up a rich section of our
country

The Horse Show

The Midsummer Horse Show,
daily becoming better known
through the South, promises to
be the biggest thing ever under
taken in Hendersonvil1e.
From all indications the town
will be full to overfowing. En-
tries of fine horses are rapidly
coming in and some of the finest
horsefesh, and most beautiful
women will be here on these
two days.
Attention has been called to
one or two errors in the horse
show program, two especially.
In class II, should read: First
prize $4,000 Second, $4,000 Third
prize, $1,000. Class 21: First prize
$50. 90. Second $1,000. Third, $5. 90
There will be one or two other
sight changes and probably two
or three more classes added.
Entry blanks may be had from
w. A. McBrayer, Gates Hotel,
P. F. Patton, Wanteska Bank,
or the Edwards Hardware Co.

L Paws to Advertise.

Please, God, bless mama and
papa an pussy an send back my
pretty new clothes lost on Main
street yesterday. Amen. -
The pale moonlight streaming
thro' the curtained window re-
vealed a little white-clad figure
kneeling by it's bed, devoutly off
ering it's petition with the fullest
confidence that it would be an
swered.
The child, three years old, had
spent the day in the country.
Returning at night, yalise con-
tanning a new suit of which he
was extremely proud had been
lost, hence his prayer for it's re-
covery.
His mother listened and
straightway repeated the child's
prayer to it's father, who, believ-
ing in adding works to faith, in
serted a small advertisement in
the Daily Hustler, which resulted
in the prompt return of the val
Use containing the much-prized
suit. The youngster, of course
firmly believes he has his clothes
as a result of his prayer.

The First North Carolina
School.

The following, from Charity
and Children, will be read with
interest by Hendersonville peo-
pie, amongst whom that fine
man, Rev. ]. B. Boone, lived and
labored so long before his recent
death: 49,.
Although the honor came to
him tardily, it is now universally
accepted that Rev. j. B. Boone
established the first graded
school in North Carolina, in the
city of Charlotte, in the year
1873. Mr.. Boone was not in the
habit Of blowing his own horn"
and hence the conclusion in the
public mind upon this question.
General Rufus Barringer shares
the credit with Mr.. Boone in
opening the way for what has
become so great a blessing to the
children of the state. Together
they planned the organization of
the Charlotte public school sys-
tenn, and in the face of local
prejudice and active opposition
they succeeded in making a
beginning.
When the voters got a chance
at it they defeated the tax levy
and for a time interrupted the
work; but the good seed had been
sown. In a little while the
! graded school system was put on
its feet, and from that time for
ward Charlotte has maintained a
foremost place among the cities
of the state in facilities for the
education of all it's children.
The men who blazed the way
for the graded schools of North
Carolina have crossed the bar,
but their work abides.

First National
New Building!

The First National Bank has
purchased the Baker property,
corner Academy and Main
streets, and-will erect a modern
three-story stone and pressed
brick office building there. The
present building on the property,
a handsome and substantial brick
structure, will be torn down to
make room for this latest evidence
of the approach of greater Hen
dersonville.
The First National Bank will
occupy the ground floor of the
building and their new quarters
will be one of the handsomest
banks in the South. The offices
in the building will be modern in
every respect.
Bakers Art Gallery will re-
move to a new building to be err
ected at the corner of Main and
Park, on w. A. Smiths prop
erty, the opposite corner from
DR.. Howe's new office building.
The present building owned
and occupied by the First Nation
al, has been sold. The building
will be heightened and when the
changes and improvements are
made, will be occupied by new
and modern business house. ~
This three-cornered move rep
resents, altogether, one of the lar
gest and most important real es-
tate transactions in the history
of Hendersonville.
The First National Bank open
ed for business on June Is, 1905,
and has kept pace with the
growth of this city, towards
whose marvellous development it
has done it's fullest share. Now
that it has outgrown it's present
quarters. finding them inadequate
for a constantly increasing bus
mess, it will still further aid the
steady growth and development
of Hendersonville by the erect
ion of this modern banking
structure. With ample frontage
on Main Estreet, and stretching
back 13O feet on Academy, this
handsome three-story structure
will stand as an advertisement
to the world of the steady and
solid growth of the finest town
in the South, and of one of it's
solid business institutions.

HendGTSOnVile

The Waynesville boys continue
to hold a good record as ball play
ers, for they defeated the Hen
dersonvIlle team yesterday by
the score of 3 to 1.
In the fourth inning the locals
scored the first run in the game.
Things went smoothly their
way until Waynesville in the
eighth inning had a man on Sec
ond and third base, then Rhodes
gave way the game by throwing
Patton a wild ball, when two
boys scored, and the ball was
lost afterwards and another
scored.
The failure of the locals is
that they get a little confused
when the trying time comes, if
they could hold up as usual they
would have much better results.
Waynesville boys went away
feeling proud over their victory.
They say that Murphey and
Whittier are all that can handle
them in N. C. West Of Statesville
and Salisbury. Saturdays Daily

THE REMARKABLE IMPROVE
NENTS Being MADE IN
COLUMBIA PARK

VVAOl4DI1 IlAlAA
The work has begun on the
50-room house which Hon. H. S.
Anderson will build on the Whit
ted place in Columbia Park.
What has been an air castle"
in the minds of the people will
soon be a handsome castle of re-
ality in the city of henderson
vile.
The plans for the building
specify so room four story
house. 1t will have a fine stone
foundation. "A spacious veranda
viii extend nearly all around the
house, and in it will stand huge
colonial columns. On top of the
structure will be a large roof gar
den. This will be the second one
in the city, the first one being on
his new magnificent building on
Washington and College streets.
The work is to be completed
by the first of June, When COM
pleted it will be one of the lar
gest, if not the largest and most
magnificent boarding house in
the city, and one that would re-
fleet great credit on all the town.
When Mr.. Anderson completes
all his new houses in Columbia
Park, he will have a city of his
own.
Beautiful streets have been
laid off in the park and nicely
graveled. There is also a little
lake of flowing water about six
feet deep and it will soon be en-
larged and improved.
Mr.. Anderson has already
leased the SO room house for
next year, and has many other
inquiries concerning it.
He will have an automobile
line running to the depot. pro-
viding that we do not have a
street car line by that time, He
feels that he has sufficient author
ity to say that there will be a
railroad station built on the Tran
sylvania road in his park.
The great improvement done
by Mr.. Anderson is one of the
greatest advertising features of
Hendersonville.
He took the large crowd of
editors from the S. G.. Association
over his place, also some N. c.
newspaper men, many of whom
said and wrote good things Of
this town.
A statement Of his work ap-
peared ina large publication
known as the Manufacturers
Record: in connection with this
mention was made of the propos-
ed 15O-room hotel on one of the
hills in Columbia Park overlook
ing the city. This resulted in
Mr.. Anderson getting correspon-
dence from various parts of the
country, one among them be-
ing an enquirer in California.
Water from the beautiful
spring in the park has been ana
lyzed by the state chemist and he
stamped the approval flo. K. on
it. This spring furnishes about
80, 900 gallons of water daily and
it is the coldest kind of good
spring water.
Mr.. Anderson is doing his
part toward the development and
improvement of this city, of
which he says: Undoubtedly
this place has as many visitors
as any town in the state, and if
the people will pull together and
help the interests of the town it
will soon be a large city and one
of the most prosperous places to
be found"
