Attenlpted BURGLARY

A bold burglary was attempted
Thursday night shortly after
dark at the residence of Charlie
Turner, on Washington street,
who recently moved here from
Spartanburg.
Mrs. Turner and child started
in the bath room, and as she
opened the door, a man conceal
ed in the room pushed the door
against her, and also knocked
down the child. He made good
his escape out of the back door
of the house, and Mrs. Turner
was not able to tell whether he
was black Or white, neither
could she say at what time he
entered the house.
Turner sold a horse yerterday
and it is thought that some one
was on to if, and for the purpose
of reaching for the money, hid
himself in the house, to await
his best opportunity. Saturdays S

cints of the, county at the court
house on Saturday for the pur-

a majority for MIR. Ray of is of
a convention vote and forty-sev-

meeting, however, ignored the
delegate from Raven Rock and
did not include the vote of that

This action is in direct conflict
with the Democratic Plan of Or

HendersOnViHe's Popularity

There is a prevailing idea
among the people of this city
that nearly all the summer visT-
tors are here from the extreme,
Southern States.
A slight acquaintance with the
new comers and,a little familiar
ity with the hotel registers viii
convince one of the fact that our
resort contains people from near
ly every state east of the Missis-
sissippi River, and some from
states west of this line.
Our city welcomes within it's
gates a great many summer visI-
tors from the New England
States, also numbers from the
Lake States.
The reputation Of this place as
a resort is spreading rapidly into
the utmost parts Of this country,

this fact brings hundreds Of new
visitors to this place: annually

ing, where on Saturday, he will
meet the executive committee of
the Laymen's Movement of
the M. E. Church and will pre-
sent the claims of this city as
the best place on earth for the
permanent location of their great
Chautauqua.
President Pepper Of the Lay
mems Movement, has outlined
the requirements to be met in a
personal letter to DR.. Child, with.
whom he has long been acquaint-
ed.
This letter was submitted to a
meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Osceola Lake Co., held
Wednesday afternoon, and as
result DR.. Child will leave to-
morrow for Tennessee. If he
interests the executive committee
several of them will come to-
Hendersonyille and may decide
to locate their great Chautauqua
here.
AS a lake is one of the prime
requirements of the proposition,
and as Hendersonville will have
that lake by September and al
ready has every other requisite
named in the following resolu-
tions, Hendersonville will well
come the committee confident
that it can fill the bill in every
respect.
The great scope Of this NAM
moth enterprise will be under
stood from the following extracts
from the resolutions adopted by
the Laymen's Missionary Con-
ference held recently at Chat
tanooga.
Resolved, First, that we be-
lieve that it is the general feel
! ing of our Church that an assem-
bly, ground should be..provided as
a railing place for all the arms of
service, such as the General Con-
ference, Bishops. meeting, Gen
eral Board Of Missions, 'woman's
a.! board of missions, Sunday School
Boards, Epwoth League, Young
peoples missionary socities, Lay
mems Missionary Movement,
and all the important bodies of
the Church; at such times as they
may desire to meet at this place;
and a place where the Church
may provide Bible Conferences,
Sunday School Institutes and
other helpful institutions and
associations.
This is a business proposition.
The Presbyterian Church has a
similar enterprise at Montreal
where they spent $50, 900 for the
land alone.
The Chautauqua of the Method
| ist Church will be the biggest in
the South.
1t would mean the erection
hereO a great psrmar ent build
ing similar to the one in Char
lotte.
It would mean the erection of
scores upon scores of cottages
and more pretentious residences.
Thousands of, people would
come to Hendersonville to attend
the lectures, for rest and for re-
creaction.
Without a doubt many would
become permanent residents.
He ndersonville would become
known wherever there is a
Methodist and where are they
not?-
The Osceola Lake will fulfill
the requirements of the commit
tee, and the surrounding land
may be bought at a reasonable
figure.
AS to the scenery, water, air
where else is there a town in
Hendersonville's class?

An endeavor will be made to reiu. venate the local chamber of com. merce, and a meeting for this pur. pose will be held on Friday evening next. For some time past this organ. lzatlon has been sleeping the sleep o1 death, caused by a lack of nourish, ment from it's projenitors. It has ex. lsted in name only-a form without substance.
 Experience has taught that cham. bers of commerce and boards of trade are adJuncts of great assistance in tl ( upbuilding of center of population No one of ordinary intelligence uues. tions this statement. The fact that practically every city, town, village and hamlet in the United States has its chamber of commerce or board ot trade is the best evidence of theil value and usefulness.
 Valdez is one of the important towns of Alaska, and will always re main so. It's geographical location
 
 of an interior country known to be rich and almost limitless in minera wealth. It is the logical outhttins point Of the Prince William Sound country, fast forging to the front as s copper producer. Nature has done much for us. We should now get to- gether and maintain the supremacy of Valdez. A live, vigorous, enthu siastic chamber of commerce, to take the initiative in matters for the city's welfare and advancement, would accomplish great good. It is the duty of all citizens to encourage this institution. All will benefit indirectly from it's efforts, and all should share | in it's burdens.
 The boxing match which took place at the Horseshoe Thursday night be tween Harry Greenig and Fred Vii son was a lively affair. Greenig proved himself the better man, anC seemed to be able to floor his oppo nent at will At the end of the fiftl round it was apparent that Wilson was all in, and the referee decided in favor of Greenig.
 A meeting of the chamber of com merce was held last evening, at which several matters of importance were discussed. In the absence of the regular officers, r. M. Brown presided and Oscar Fish acted as secretary Not many were present., and it was decided to have complete rsorgani- sation, elect now officers, and en. deavor to renew interest in the cham Der, and 8 meeting for this purposc will be held next Friday night.
 The chamber recommended the passage by congress oi two bills---one for the extension of the corporate limits of Valdez, the other providing for the erection of breakwate1 to protect the city from the glacier stream. Copies of the bills will be sent to Delegate Gale, with the re- guest that he secure their passage, if possible.
 Other m matters were discussed, but Jaction was deferred until some future nseting.
