This is Too Much!

Mr.. J. P. Rickman, formerly president
Of the ola Bank of Hendersonville, has
written this paper a communication,
which appears below. Mr.. Hickman is
now of the Norwood National Bank,
Greenville, in which city he has erected
a duplicate of the beautiful residence
formerly owned by him in this city.
Mr.. Hickman had habit of counting
the buttons on his friends vests here
a habit which caused his friends some
Inconvenience at times, and to think
that this great home journal should be
accused of joking, April Fool joking,
hurts, and is almost too much to bear,
especially when you think of his own
record along that line.
AS to his reference to Col. Hewitt, Doc
Drafts and Claude Brown, we leave those
gentlemen to defend themselves-we
won't do tive can't do tits too big
task!
Here's the letter:
Greenville, S. c., April 1, 1908.
Dear Mr.. Barrows:
I did not get the Hustler this week.
Did you intend this as an April fool?
Please send copy, and here's hoping
many happy days for you and yours.
Yours truly,
J. P. RICKMAN.
How's Bill Hewitt, Doc Drafts and
Claude Brown, alive? What are they
all up to these days?

The New PaVementS
Pavement in City Hall
Block Being Torn Up.The
Cement Will Be Laid
Immediately.

Contractor Jordan has large force of
men at work tearing up the old pave
ment in the city hall block.
His material and tools is here and
work on the new cement walks will be
pushed rapidly.
A protest has been presented to the
commissioners stating that the signers
would not put down the walks and
would not pay for 1t if the city put it
down, either publicly or privately. The
professors say they have obtained legal
advice and believe they are correct in
their position,
The contractor has his material on
the ground and is only waiting for GER
tain tools to begin the work, and un-
doubtedly this town will have cement
walks by June.

lied STATEMENT BY PROMOTERS

A 1000 spindle mill for Horse sboer
The desirability of this county, with
its wonderful climate, it's marvellous and
undeveloped water powers It's excellent
labor, as suitable place for cotton and
knitting mills, is being illustrated al
most daily.
The great mill at Zirconia. and two at
Flat Rock, are to be increased now bya
new 1000 spindle mill at Horse Shoe.
All these are within seven miles of Hen.
dersonvllle, and they really mark but
the beginning of the industrialawaken-
ing of this fine county.
The following article is of great in
terest:
The latest enterprise under way at
Horse Shoe is mill for the purpose of
spinning high grade cotton yarn to be
built near the railroad station at an
early date.
The style of the corporation will be
The French Broad Manufacturing Com.
pany. The greater portion of the capi-
tai stock is now ready to be paid in.
The movers in this matter have found
it very easy to raise the required amount
of capital. The enterprise has some
strong capitalists behind it, who are
made up largely of Henderson county
men, giving confidence and strength to
the whole affair as the opening wedge
to the .upbuiIding of this section of the
county.
Mr.. j. G. Hood, a capitalist of Char
lOtte, N. c., and the father of our enter
prising young physician, DR.. J. s. Hood,
is here again today completing arrange
ments as the site, etc., and is also con-
templating moving to this place, where
he will take an active part in the busi-
ness management of the industry.
This proposition has been under way
for the last eight months, but nothing
has been made public until now, it being
settled that the mill will be located here.
The citizens of Henderson county
have responded most liberally to this
enterprise. It is not positively known
how long it will be before the mill
will be in operation, but it is now ex-
pected not to be a great while; it will
be operated by electrical power, the site
for the water power necessary to run the
dynamo having been located. The be-
ginning capacity of this mill be about
1000 spindles,
Horse Shoe as most desirable loca-
tion for a manufacturing industry is
conceded by all who have canVassed the
necessary conditions, being the center
of one of the most prosperous farming
sections of the county, abundant rail-
road facilities, salubrious climate,
churches, Sunday-schools, merchantlle
and cheap living advantages with the
touch of enterprises already upon it and
hickly surroun ded by an industrious
population, ready to seize any opportu-
nifty for an honorable occupation; many
of our people are seeking the, same 10
the mills south of us. Why not invest
with profit to ourselves and industrial
advantages to all?
