train WRECK.

Saturday morning at 11:30
O'Clock there was a railroad wreck
on the Columbia division near
Rigsbee. Fortunately though
mysteriously no one was seriously
injured, the fireman, engineer,
and baggage master bearing only
slight bruises.
Among the passengers were
several delegates enroute to the
T. P. A. convention at Milwaukee
The tender was thrown from
the track into the field, and badly
damaged, also the baggage and
one passenger coach were thrown
from the track, which was
torn up for a long distance.
It is thought that the wreck
was the result Of rotten cross-ties.
Traffic was delayed about II
hours.

A San3tOIiUIll.

Hendersonville is taking a
vague glimpse of another great
enterprise that will be second
to none of its kind, which will
soon be established somewhere in
the South If the Industrious
people of this city will make the
proper efforts, it is probable that
this town will have the finest
sanitorium in the United States
which, if secured, will bring
more popularity and National dis
tinction to Hendersonville
Prof. Garland has recently
received a communication from
northern man, stating that he
was going to erect a sanitoriu1n
somewhere in the next few
months, and that it would be Sc
cond to none in this country.
Futhmore, he had not fixed
his intentions on any certain 10
cality. In additions to this state
ment he requested Professor
Garland to describe the advan-
tages of such an undertaking
in this vicinity also to give an ex-
act descrintion of this country in
general.
This matter has been taken mp
by the city and communications
Of various kinds are in progress.
The city is going to make an
active effort to get this enterprise
here.
1t offers untold advantages for
such business. The sanitorium
now here has a great patronage;
and as the city is becoming more
widely famous for it's unexcelled
mountain air, pure water, and sa-
lubrious climatic conditions, the
tide of visitors is swelling annu-
ally, therefore the necessity of
more advantages and accomoda-
tions is rapidly seen.
If it will only put forth it's ac-
tive efforts, it will soon become
one of the greatest touring cen
ters in this country.

THE SUMNER CROWD.
The crowd of tourists is certain

The crowd of tourists is certain
ly here.
There are three times the num-
her of people here now that
there we're last year.
Every train brings its load of
humanity from the hot and swell
tering low-lands to the cooling
and invigorating mountain at
mosphere of Henderson county.
The Gates, the Wheeler, the
Blue Ridge Inn are doing an ex-
ceIlent busin 95S, an the many
boarding houses ace rapidly fill
ing up.
Main street is now crowded
every afternoon, the broad ce-
ment walks, wide as they are,
are no wider than necessary 1t
is possible to pick out many fa-
miIiar faces, those who have been
coming here for many seasons
past. but there are also many
strangers in town, people. who
are here for the first time.
And that's a very good thing
for people who once come to this,
the finest resort town inthe South
to-day, are very apt to return.
Hendersonville has a way of
making a favorable first impress
sion and with most people this
first impression is but strength
ened upon longer acquaintance.
The opinion of those who know,
who have, studied the matter,
and who judge by former exper-
ience, is that Hendersonville
this year will have a breaking
crowd, and certainly every sign
points that way.

players was a great drawback
to us. 1t is thought by all that
with these expert players the re-
suit would have been much bet
ter.
The day was very warm for
the locals, while it was unusually.
cool for the visitors from their
warm town. Some attribu tie
their success to the fact that this
mountain air and good spring
water stimulated them to do a
from South Carolina. Mingled
with all these pleasures was the
sweet melodies from the hands
of the attending minstrels.
In the afternoon, after being
tagged with mountain climbing
and boat riding, they gathered
to see the ball game between
Spartanburg and Hendersonville.
When the sun was hanging
low over the mountains they de-
parted from this city with hearts
full of joy and grateful for the
enjoyments and hospi talities of
this mountain city.

News Of The Base Ball World


The meeting among the base
ball boys Wednesday night for
the purpose Of organizing them
selves readyto give the people
some entertainment this summer
proved to be a success.
Everybody appeared to be in
high spirits for baseball, and ev-
erything moved off in such an
harmonious way, they soon had
themselves organized and officers
elected as follows:
w. A. Smith, president, temp
erary.
]. Mack Rhodes, captain.
Preston Patton, manager.
G. ?: Gallimore, assistant
manager.
Finance committee, Sam Bry-
son, chairn1an;;ssW. Fl. Harris, and
Harry Waldrop.
They did not succeed in elect
ing a permanent PRESIDENT, tho
Lawyer Smith agreed to serve
until they could secure one.
Nearly all Of these officers have
been expert players in various
leagues, therefore will prove
themselves capable Of directing
a team, and above all, will soon
be able to challange some stunt
teams.
The boys have played enough
ball to put great confidence ir
themselves, and since they have
manifested their ability, Hender-
sonville feels safe in encourag-
ing and fallying them in their en-
deavors.
They will soon have their uni
forms consisting of colored stock
ings and white suits.
The boys have come together
and launched the enterprise that
will add greatly to the enjoyment
of the town, and especially will
give amusement to the thous-
ands of visitors that annually
haunt our city for rest, pleasure,
and amusement. To safely
launch this undertaking, without
doubt, itwillltake a few dollars ano
what the boys need is the cooper
alton and support of the people.
The organization is going to dc
its part, providing the people
will show a willing part and offer
a helping hand.
They have projected several
good plans by which they hope tc
get assistance. One of which is
to erect large billboards around
the playing grovnd, and solicit
advertisements from the business
men to be painted thereon.
This will prove a good advertis-
ing medium for the people. One
of the boys says he can paint
signs. Ifhe can only attract
half the attention in making an
advertisement as he does in his
skillful work on the ball grounds,
his work would result in great
returns for some wise advertiser.
The organization is submitting
its plans to the people, and the
results SO far are very gratifying.
They have already been given
a hearty support.
Hendersonville, it is all up tc
you whether we shall have base
ball or not!

says ordinarily one cannot see now the military power of a nation couia depcpd upon buttermilk, but invest- gatlons into the deterioration In the physical development of the popuia- tion in certain parts of Germany are expected to show that 1t is due to the lessened consumption of buttermilk. Lately the candidates for the army show an inexplicable falling on phys ically but which were formerly, me specimens of manhood. Inquiries show the dairies have been sending the buttermilk far, far away, and the result Is the children and grown peo- ple can get only the cheap skim milk or comparatively innutriIious substi- tutes.

Now then If buttermilk will improve us in our physical develop ment we should drink it by all means, and you get the best at Phelan's Tea store.
