WORKING ON THE
AUTOMOBILE HIGHWAY
Thursdays Daily


Mr. ]. P. Goodwin, county su-
pervisor of Greenville, S. c., is
in the city attending the Horse
Show Mr.. Goodwin is a native
North Carolinian and has al
ways shown great interest
towards Hendersonville and her
welfare.
When asked about the pro-
posed automobile route between
Greenville and Asheville, Mr..
Goodwin replied to the Hustler
man: Il have a crowd of the
boys at work on the old Buncombe
road now. They started on the
North Carolina line and will work
it into Greenville.
Yes, | have seen a great deal
in our papers about this new
highway and in my opinion it
will be a great thing for our far
mers living at the foot of the
mountains.
We are, very much interested
in the great automobile route
planned through our city in Oc-
tober, from New York. This
will, however, not interfere
with the proposed route to Ashe-
vile. There are at least fifty to
one hundred autoists in our city
who would make the trip pro-
vided the roads are put in proper
shape.
Mr. Goodwin is a great be-
lever in good roads and a good
judge of them, too. The roads
in his county proves the fact
that he understands the art of
building substantial highways.
While Hendersonville would
not be benefited as much as the
neighboring city of Asheville,
her citizens are just as much, if
not more, enthusiastic over the
proposed automobile route from
Greenville.
If the automobile route should
mature Hendersonville will GER
tainly leave nothing undone in
making it a success, through
Henderson county.

MISTER MITCHELL

the attempted badger game IN
Asheville some days ago is still
attracting attention throughout
the two Carolinas. The follow
ing reference to Baxter Mitchell
and his wife appeared in the Co
lumbia Daily Record of Tuesday:
The Mr.. and Mrs. j.. Baxter
Mitchell, of Spartanburg, who
figured in the alleged attempted
badger game against the wealthy
stockman, Mr. o. P. Morgan, also
of Spartanburg, in the Swan
nanoa Hotel in Asheville on the
18th, are well known in Column
bia, particularly to the Columbia
police, and how they. were run
out of Columbia reveals an inter-
esting study of the under world.
Chief Cathcart has the picture
of the Mitchell woman and her
sister on a postcard. but he was
unable to catch the couple in any
~badgering game here, although
they are alleged to have made at
least one attempt, the victim
promptly calling the bluff and
getting off without giving up ev-
en- any checks. The victim on
this occasion, according to one
who says he knows Of the Incl
dent, but which was not reported
to the police on account of the
publicity that it would involve,
was run into a bathroom with
Mrs. Mitchell. Almost immedi-
ately afterwards the outraged"
husband stormed in with revolver
in hand, and, after giving a stiff
line of talk about his ruined
home, demanded money. The
victim coolly called the bluff,
threatening to kill both the man
and woman if he was not allowed
to pass out. He passed.
MI. and Mrs. Mitchell occupied
quarters over a leading Main
street store, and the chief and
his men watched the pair so
closely that after the arrest of
Mrs. Mitchell's sister, who is
now in a house in a restricted
district, for occupying the wrong
sort of house in respectable neigh
borhoods, they left town and the
chiefs information is that they
went to Charlotte.
The single woman, when tie
chief told her what he lnew of
Mrs. Mitchell, broke down and
told him of Mrs. Mitchell's ca
reer, pleading pathetically for
the protection of her little child
which was being raised by the
Mitchell's. The single woman
appears to have good traits, and
she wanted to give her child as
near a respectable surroundings
as possible.
Back of the evacuation of Col
umbia by the Mitchell's is a
curious story of jealousy between
the Spartanburg and Columbia
underworlds. When the right
eous got behind the police in
Spartanburg and caused that
town to be cleaned OUT" in it's
red light districts, and the lid
was down good and hard for
keeps, a we'll known Columbia
underworld woman went to
Spartanburg after the dust had
settled a bit and spent three or
four thousand dollars fitting up
a palace" It seems, however,
that the Mitchell woman was the
Mark Hanna of that kind of poll
tics in Spartanburg, and it was
not long before her protests
against opposition being allowed
to set up where she had been
run out, brought Ethe Columbia
woman's enterprise to a sad and
disastrous ending.
When the Mitchell's came here,
the chief determined to watch
them, and he did. He stationed

vidually with any degree of accuracy. Compare
lively few Of the old band of mionaires have
failed to add materially to their fortunes since the
panic. There are some, 1t is true, who were more
or less disabled in those days. and the period that
predeced them who have not succeeded in win
ming back their lost money and prestige; some
who were in the Inflated trust companies, others
of the insurance crowd, and so on. But those
who held on and were able to weather the storms
have been lifted up and now are richer than ever.
Not only that, but large number of new groups
of great financial strength has been developed.
There is the Hawley group for instance, which
has made millions and millions In the rise in val
ues of railway shares. Edwin Hawley the head
of this cOterie, was not big Wall street figure
until within the last year but of late he has
added UNNECESSARILY to his wealth and to his pow
transportation king
Among those of his friends who have climbed
into the chariot of the plutocrats is Frank A. Van
derlip, the president of the National City bank
He Is reputed to have made more than million
out of Chesapeake & Ohio and Union Pacific.
When he assistant secretary of the treasury
a few years ago Vanderlip was man OF very
moderate means and lived in modest little fiat
in Washington After he came to New York his
wealth increased somewhat but only since the
first of this year has he entered the millionaire
class
Another of the Hawley group who is one of the
new crop of multimillionares is banker named
Scott who piled up small fortune, dollar by dol
lar, In Richmond, Va, and VINO mas increased IL
many fold of late in Wall street. Still another of
the group is Robert Fleming. He was not a
poor man when the rise in stocks began, but he IS
said to be very rich now. Then there is
new crop of Union Pacific millionaires Southern
Pacific millionaires, Wabash, Rock Island and
many other groups of new mionaires who have
become wealthy by the tremendous upturn of the
shares they were interested in. Some of these
men were milionaires before the beginning of this
year; these have now moved up to the multi
millionaire class.
There are quite as many who have won for
tunes in the field of industrial stocks especially in
United States Steel common. One of these-more
than millionaire when he began buying Steel
is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher. He is said to
have started his Steel purchases two years ago,
when the stock around %, and to have accu-
mulated total of 100000 shares at very low
prices. His winnings are estimated at more than
$5.O00,000

cation of the thousands of fortunes that have

background. He is no amateur Spectator, how
ever for five years ago he in one of the Sully

large dents in his financial armor. But now he

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Wormy apples are best fed to hogs.
The worm is killed then at any rate.
Peck your apples honestly and put
your name and address on each barrel
or box.
When a dealer buys apples he is
pretty likely to cut into both ends of
the barrel.
The American varieties of the plum
are harder thai either the Japanese or
European kinds.
The young trees set out this spring
need care and water at this time.
Look to them.
When trees are affected with peach
yellow they should be exterminated,
root and branch.
A fortune is waiting the propagation
of hardy red raspberry. But quality
must not be sacrificed for hardness.
No fruit should be allowed to go to
waste as long as there is a possibility
Of making cider. vinegar and infer
mented grape juice.
Very few pears are at their best if
allowed to ripen on the tree. A good
rule is to pick when the seeds have
turned brown.
Our orchards are largely what we
make them. Good cultivation, tender
care and knowledge of conditions
make for success in fruit growing.
Wood ashes are of use for fertilizer
in the orchard. A combination OF
wood ashes and manure in the orchard
is considered an excellent fertilizer
for apple trees.
Apples keep best when allowed to
hang on the trees until they reach
maturity, but that does not mean soft
and ripe. 1t is a common fallacy that
green, immature fruit will keep the
best.
One packer is authority for the
statement that the cost of picking
apples varies from seven cents per
barre! where the trees are low, to 20
cents per barrel where the trees are
large and limbs high.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1909-11-24

received frequent doses of water and
liquid manure to increase the size and
brilliancy of the flowers. No seed
pods were allowed to ripen on the
plants, as this would have shortened
the blooming season. During part of
the remarkably long Towering period,
we had only scattering bloom because
the plants were kept pruned in order
to give the best results during the
cool seasons. We gave the plants a
protection of manure and straw from
December to March.
AT the end of the following May,
after the plants had lowered for two
months and the blossoms had begun
to run small, we removed all branches
as long as eight inches, and by June
26 the plants were again in full flower.
The next day they were picked clean
and slightly pruned, but in less than
a week they were once more covered
with flowers. On July 8, during Sc
verely hot weather, We pruned again,
taking off branches six inches or more
in length, and covering the plants
with loose hay to protect them from
the sun. They sent up buds prompt
ly and continuously. but these were
nipped off in order to keep the
strength of the plants for fall bloom.
On August one plant had two dozen
buds. The following week the plants
came into full bloom, and in order to
still hold them in check until cool
weather it was necessary to prune
| back once again.
The size and number Of the flow.
ers were as surprising as their
persistency. One, picked after several
| hot, dry days, was seven inches in
circumference. We had only about q
Cozen plants, but they yielded thous-
ands Of flowers. At the height Of the

the light before the root growth is
well established means that much of
the top growth must be made from
the stored-up vitality.
Not all bulbs give as good results
when grown in water as when the soil
is used, but the Chinese sacred lilies
do IT rightly treated. What is meant
by rightly treated?" In the first
place examine the bulb and if there is
a hard crust or scale over the base re-
move it.
Then peel off the outer layers of
brown skin and with a sharp knife
cut gashes from the top of the bulb
almost to the base and half way to
the heart.
Those who have never tried this
will feel sure they have ruined the
bulb, but they have simply put it in
such condition that the buds can
spread the layers and get out. When
the bulb is not gashed the buds that
form fail to get up through the neck
and die from compression.
Hyacinths, some varieties of tulips,
.crocus and various other bulbs give
