Big Crops in
Henderson County

The farmers of Henderson
county are preparing for i'm
mense crops next summer.
More machinery and fertilizer
have already been bought by the
farmers here, this year, than ever
before.
One of the largest dealers in
farm implements states he has
already sold more than double
the amount of improved farm
machinery than during all the
first six months of last year.
The rapidly increasing use of
farm machinery indicates the
increasing prosperity of Hender-
son county farmers and of the
people generally.
Not so many men are depen-
dent on day labor on the farms
as heretofore, and the increasing
scarcity of help, is, in a measure,
compelling the farmers to depend
more and more on modern labor
saving machinery.
1t is the opinion of men who
are thoroughly competent to
judge that next season, if condi-
tioris are favorable, will witness
the harvesting of the greatest
crop in the history of this county.
Modern machinery and m
proved methods of farming are
doing much to make Henderson
one of the best agricultural
districts in Western North
Carolina.
1t is the natural home of the
cabbage, and the solid car loads
of cabbage and potatoes which
left the station here last summer
meant many, tens of thousands of
dollars to the energetic farmers
of one of the finest agricultural
spots in this part of the State.

Miss Daily Writes.

HizzOnT Must Pave, Too!

Mayor Michael Schenck has
bought 60 feet frontage of the
Pine Grove Lodge property .on
Main street, from st. James
Church.
At present the pavement has
not reached that point, and under
the sidewalk ordinance which the
Supreme Court has just decided
legal, the Mayor will be compelled
to improve his newly-acquired
property by putting down the re-
quired cement sidewalk.
There is a quaint, little. old
fashioned and vine-covered office
on the property, built away back
yonder in 1850, which has been
the professional home of some of
the noted lawers of the South.
Judge Baxter, who was also a
United States Senator, occupied
it at one time. Judge Shipp,
father of Mr.. Bartlett Shipp, and
Judge Ewart have both studied
Blackstone and Coke and pre-
pared briefs there. Almost go
years old, the sturdy little struc-
ture looks good for 60 more, but
if Hendersonville keeps up her
present rapid growth it will not
be long before the Mayor will be
obliged to-, build a five-story
business block on his newly-ac-
equired property.

THREE COTTON
MILLS WILL BE

D. c.. Little, A We'll Known Cot

Invest Heavily In Mill Here.
If Built, Two Others Will Fol-
low Immediately This Summer

Mr.. D. G. Little, of Spartan
burg, one of the best known
cotton mill men of the South,
spent several days here last week.
Mr.. Little is considering erecting
a $500, 900 cotton mill here, and
had several conferences with re-
preventative business men of the
town during his stay. He is now
in New York and will return to
Hendersonville with a well
known New York capitalist,
when the matter of building the
mill will probably be definitely
settled.
Mr.<Little prefers a location
for the mill just outside the cor
porate limits of the town and has
several sites under advisement.
While amply able to finance the
whole proposition, there being
absolutely no question on this
point, Mr.. Little offers to furnish
$50, 900 if $75, 600 is taken in
stock by the town.
It is believed he could be in
duced to furnish the $50, 600 if
only $50, 900 were raised here,
altho' this is not authoritive.
The shares would be $50 each,
the idea, of course, would be to
enlist the peoples interest, their
active cooperation and good will,
and to insure him against any
