CONSTRUCTION WORK ON
CREElVHIE and HEVDE:R'l;- /;
SONNLLE ELECTRIC Line
TO START VERY soon.
Financial Arrangements About
Completed, Now Waiting
on Engineers to Complete
Maps and Estimates

The permanent location of the
Asheville andDG DGreenville Electric
Railroad has been completed,
and the large number Of survey
ors and engineers, who have been
working steadily for months past
on the road have been discharg-
ed o.
The total expense of the sur
vey and location aggregates $12,-
900, all of which has been paid
by the company.
Mr.. Allison is now in the East
and the information from him is
that all financial arrangements for
the building of the road have
nearly been completed. N
8 Just how the road will come
into Hendersonville from Green
vile has not yet been decided,
except it is known it will leave
the Flat Rock Rock road at DR..
Browns residence and then cir
Gle around, possibly touching the
new lake noWsbeing constructed.
It is said on absolutely reliable
authority that the road will be
built, that the financial end of
the great proposition is well in
hand, and that just as soon as
the necessary maps and estimates
are completed that dirt will fly
The actual expenditure of-$12,-
900 on location and survey work
certainly shows that the COM
pany is prepared to do what
everyone hopes it will do-build
an electric line from Greenville
to Asheville by way of Hender-
sonville.
Such a line, would. of course,
be of the greatest possible benefit
tothis city and to all that part
| of the county through which the
road passes.
In Ohio and INDIANA, where
electric railroads form an actual
net work covering both states,
the value of farm property near
which the road pass enhance ten
times in value, and it will be the
same here.
This electric road will develop
and populate sections around
Hendersonville now sparsely set
tied. Summer homes will spring
up everywhere on the scores of
beautiful building sites near
town, and in which particular
feature this city has absolutely
no competitor anywhere. It will
furnish cheap and quick passen-
ger and freight service, be of
the very greatest benefit to all
the farmers, increase the value
of real estate all along the line
and will help push this city to
the goal of it's ambition 10, 00O
population by 1910.

Funeral Of James POSGy.

The body of James Posey was
sbipped from Spaftanburg here.
IN No. 9 train yesterday, and
b1lrial took place in the Oak Dale
cemetary. DR.. Grinnan conduct
od the concluding funeral SER
vices, the former services being
conducted at Mrs. Posey's home
in Spartanburg.
The boys parents were we'll
known in this city. His father,
who died nearly three years ago,
was a prominent contractor and
builder. Mrs. Posev moved to
Spartanburg about two years
ago.
James was Mrs. Posey's fourth
son.
The following is from the
Spartanburg Herald:
Jas. Posey, the eleven-year
old son of Mrs. Annie L. Posey,
who was accidentally shot with
a parlor rifle in the hands of
Rodger Philips, a playmate, Fri
day afternoon, died at 5 O'Clock
yesterday morning in the Spar
tanburg hospital from the effects
of the wound. The funeral ser
vices will be held at 9 O'Clock
this morning at the home of Dal-
las Place. The body will be
shipped to Hendersonville for
interment.
The shooting of young Posey
was purely accidental, and Rod
ger Philips, who handled the
rifle at that time is grief-stricken
over the death of his little play
mate. Jas. Posey and several
other small boys were playing
near Mrs. Nsey's home Friday
afternoon. They had rifle, and
while young Philips was hand
ling it the piece was accidentally
discharged, the ball taking effect
in the right side of the throat
and ranged downward in the
chest. DR.. w. B. Lyles was
summoned, and after giving
such Immediate attention as was
necessary, hurried the little fel-
low to the hospital. Friday af-
ternoon and night five physicians
worked with the wounded lad
but his wound was of such a Sc
rious nature that it proved fatal
by daylight yesterday morning.
Mrs. Posey, the mother of Jas.
Posey, is critically i'll at the Good
Samaritan Hospital, and news of
the wounding and death of her
son has been kept from her, for
her condition is such that it is
thought the shock would be too
great for her to bear.

His Life.

Rt. Rev. DR.. Chadwick, Bishop of
Derry and Raphoe, in a speech at the
synod Of the Irish Protestant church.
referred to the story of a pickpocket
having been found dead with the
watch OF the clergyman who had come
to attend him In his hand. The cler-
gyman in whose experience this
strange incident occurred was the late
Rev. w. II. White. chaplain OF the
Savoy and chaplain to the speaker OF
the British house of commons In the
reign OF Speaker Brand. Mr. White
was aroused in the small hours OF the
morning from his sleep by sick call
when, early In his ministry. he was
curate in a Brighton parish. He
was summoned to n bad quarter of
the town and was led to the bedside
of n man who was rapidly sinking,
amid surroundings of destitution and
squalor. The man passed away while
Mr.. White was offering prayer In his
behalf, and Mr.. White. on rising from
his knees, discovered to his astonish-
ment that his watch had been removed
from his pocket and was held tightly
In the grasp OF the dead man.

MANY DESTITUTE CASES
UNDER CHIEF O'NEII'S CARE

Chief of Police O'Neil informed the
Sentinel this morning that yesterday
he located four cases of absolute des-
titution in the city, the circumstan
ces surrounding two or three of the
cases being absolutely pitiful. Dire
want and grim poverty were In evi-
dence in each case.
One of the cases is that of an aged
woman who is i'll at house in the
city. She had been living with an
other family in the house, but the
family moved from the place two or
three days ago and sold their furni-
ture. ard the purchaser of the fur
niture had removed every piece from
the house excepting the bed on which
lay the sick woman.
Chief O'Neil at once ascertained
the immediate wants of these desti-
tute people and has cared for them
for the present.

es or If any Individuals desire to
assist unfortunates. they would do
