Henderson Fruit

Aw, you can talk about politics,
or art: or John Grant al you
want to, but for our part give us
potatoes potatoes such as Mr..
A. F. Drake and DR.. G. Few
have on exhibition in this news
shop right now. But don't tell
Ed Brooks, for, say, that man
certainly has a weakness in the
direction of Henderson county
fruit.
Mr.. brakes exhibition consists
of three Burbank potatoes, fine,
smooth, well shaped and of re-
markable size. He planted two
bushels of seed and dug seventy
five bushels Of potatoes and will
have them for sale all winter.
These potatoes are about the best
we have yet seen, of their kind.
DR.. Few has two potatoes on
exhibition. Only two and it's
fortunate there are no more or
the front Office would not hold
them. They are sweet potatoes,
of truly gigantic size, one a red
dish color Of a variety which is
unfamiliar even to us. The Doc
tor is q truthful man, a member
in good standing of the Metho-
dist church. He is known by
everyone in the county and we
hesitate to bring any charge
against him rejecting on his
character. He is young, active
and will defend his honor but we
don't think he can run as fast as
we can, so, when he deliberately
says that he had one potato larger
than either one of these he has
on exhibition in this Office we get
right up and say, and say it
clearly, boldly and distinctly, that
we don't believe it! For we
know, we KNOW, that sweet
potatoes couldn't grow any larg-
er! There now!

K. c. JUStuS Home.

K. G. Justus has returned to
this city, from Newberry, S. c.
He is under ASSOC bond, one of
the wealthiest men of that city,
and one of his former creditors
going his security.
1t is said Mr.. Justus went
through bankruptcy proceedings
before he left Newberry prev
iously. He had taken several
large contracts and had lost con-
siderable money on them. In
stead of S7,7O the amount in
volved is said to be about 81, 600,
and that the proceedings against
him charging him with fraud
were started through a misunder-
standing of the true facts in the
case, and that there was no in
tention of fraud.
Mr.. Justus will remain in Hem
dersonville about two weeks when
he returns to Newberry where he
has contracts for three houses.
He is now making his arrange
nlents to carry out these con-
tracts.
Mr.. Juseus' standing in New
berry is said to be excellent and
he has many friends in the South
Carolina city who are glad to
know he will return there within
a few days.

Ordered Rails for
New Railroad.

Louis P. Hyder, son of J. p.
and brother of Lum, who was
married by Squire Morrow but
who didn't stay married, Louis
p. Hyder, we remarked, has been
in correspondence with the Steel
Trust in reference to buying
steel rails for a new railroad.
Sheriff Freeman has the answer
from that corporation to the let
ter of Lewis, asking for further
information about the matter,
but Lewis says he's agoin' to
build that road just the same.
Tuesday, j. P. Hyder told the
genial Sheriff that Lewis was
crazy (he's Lum's brother, you
know and he wanted his son
locked up, he was dangerous.
Now, Sheriff Freeman's hotel
is plum full, running over with
guests, the Sheriff is that popu-
lar, he is. So to accommodate
Lewis the Sheriff got carpenters
and built just the cutest little
cage and then started to arrest
Lewis but he had done disap-
.peared and has not yet been cap
tured.
The Sheriff and his deputies
are looking for him, as he is said
to be dangerous and, has threat
Fened to burn his fathers barn
and do other disagreeabIe things.

JOHN ". kern
IN ASHEV|LLE!

Hon. John w. Kern. democrat
ic candidate for vice-presidency
delivered a fine address in Ashe-
vile on Monday. The crowd is
said to have been the greatest
ever in that city since Bryan
spoke there in 1896.
The town was gayly decorated
and Mr.. Kern, accom-
panied by a distinguished escort,
in carriages, and with scores of
mounted men at the head of the
procession passed through streets
crowded with a cheering multi
tude. The great Auditorium
was completely filed by an atten-
tive audience, who listened and
expressed its approval of a logi-
cal, interesting and plain-spoken
speech.
hon. w. j. Cooke introduced
Mr.. Kern in a mastery speech.
The distinguished gentleman
from Indiana was cheered to the
echo and every reference to
Bryan threatened to lift the roof
of the great structure so enthu-
siastic was the response from
the vast audience to even the
bare mention of the Great Com
moner's name.
At the conclusion of Mr..
Kern's speech, Col. S. v. Pick
ems proposed a cheer for the
next vice president of the Ueited
States. Gov. Glenn said, Make
it three. " And it was three.
Such volume of enthusiastic
cheering has probably never
been heard before.
Among Mr.. Kern's escort
We're: Governor Glenn, Locke.
Craig, Mayor Campbell, Cons
gresham Crawsord, and many
other distinguished men.

Deposits Doubled.

The deposits of the Citizens
Bank have doubled since their

increase of one hundred per cent
in the deposits of any bank in so
short a time is said to be really
remarkable and indicates the
standing of this institution
amongst its home folks.
