At Flat Rock School

The work at the Flat Rock
Graded School has been going
steadily onward since September,
under the following staff of teach.
ers: Professor David H. Klein,
principal, Miss Clara Pittillo and
Miss Lala Brock. There hasbeen
a steady gain in the. numberyof
pupils enrolled and the past
month has proved to be the ban
ner month in the schools history.
with an enrolment of 149, an
increase of thirty per cent over
last year.
Effort has been made to inter
est the children in the library
which has recently been placed
in the school. A large, hand
some bookcase has been installed,
and the demand for books is
most encouraging. Certainly, if
the love of reading once takes
hold of a child, the battle for his
education is half won.
Since many of the children
have not the advantage of a mus
ical environment, it is planned,
little by little. to make them more
familiar with the standard melo-
dies. Thus far, Home, Sweet
Home" and My Old Kentucky
Home" have been learned.
At a recent meeting of the
Board of Trustees assurance was
given that the Board would CO.
operate with the principal in the
effort to acquire, gradually, the
paraphernalia of a well equipped |
school. Some new wall maps |
will be the first acquisition. |

EgIt For Hosiery Company;
-Four For Insurance, Co.

The suit of the Tryon Hosiery
Company against some thirteen
different insurance companies,
which resulted in a mis-trial last
week, was incorrectly reported
in the Hustler.
The article stated that ''eight
of the jurymen voted for the de-
PENDANTS, four for plaintiffs.
This was incorrect. Eight of
the jurymen voted for the Tryon
Hosiery Company and four for
the insurance companies.
The case has attracted general
attention on account of the large
amount sued for. about $22, 900,
and the interesting points of law
involved.

APPALACHIAN RAILROAD
STOCKHOLDERS. MEET

The actual construction of the
Appalachian Interurban Railroad
Will result, it is believed, from
the meeting of the stockholders
OF the company held at the court
house, Monday.
A majority of the stock was
represented at the meeting. W.
A. Smith presided and W. A.
Garland was secretary The
stockholders appointed a commit
tee, composed of P. F. Patton.
W. A. Smith, w. A. Garland and
). Williams for the Henderson
county stockholders, Clarence

tees for the Ashevilie stockhold-
ers, who were instructed to make
a contract with the first parties
submitting to them a bona fde
proposition to build the road,
when accompanied by satisfactory
evidence Of their ability and in
tention to build it.
The committee met and ap-
pointed Mr.. w. A. Smith to con-
suit with General Davidson, who
represents Col. Jones interests.
Mr.. Smith left for Asheville on
Tuesday night. 1t is believed
some arrangement will be made
by which the apparently conflict
ng interests will be harmonized
and the new railroad built.

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF
MARSHAL narrower F|NLAY

Marshall Narrower Finlay, sc
we'll known here, died at his late
residence near town on Monday,
November 20. Mr.. Finlay had
been an invalid for many years.
The funeral services were held
by DR.. R. B. Grinnan, interment
being in the old Goodwin grave
yard at Lima, S. c., on Wednes-
day at IL O'Clock.
Marshall Narrower Finlay was
born, February l, 1860, in I.anark
county, near Glasgow, Scotland,
and with his father came to
America in 1871, shortly after his
mothers death. After a short
residence in Ohio, the family set
tied near Hendersonville. In
1881 Marshall removed to Green
vile, S. c., where for % years
he was a leading merchant of
that city. On account of declin-
ing health he retired from bus
mess and for the past three years
has been living on the old home
stead near town.
His wife, r. A. L. Goodwin
F1nlay, the daughter of J. L.
Goodwin, of Greenville, died four
years ago. Surviving him are
two sons. Layton Narrower and
John Marshall Finlay, two half
brothers, Alexander and George,
and Mrs. Jack Drake, half Sis
ter.
Mr.. Finlay was a consistent
member of the Presbyterian
church, a member of Green lie
Lodge No. Is, K, P, and a most i
highly esteemed citizen. His
utter devotion to his two boys
was but one indication of a really |
fine character.

$4,000 WOOD WORKING
PLANT FOR this TOWN

pEoying altogether fifty men
with a pay roll of possibly 5000
month, promises to be the frs
manufacturing plant started il
Hendersonville, and which, it i:
hoped, will be but the first o1
many to locate here.
The factory will be in operation
by February, and delivery of its
product, solid bored columns,
will begin in March.
Mr.. G. H. Lambert, of Ashe-
vile, has about closed negotia-
ITEMS for the Stillwell plant, 50
long Idle, which will be converted
into a modern woodworking
factory with an initial guaranteed
capacity Of one hundred solid
bored porch columns a day.
These columns are both more
economical and more durable
than the ordinary built-up COL
umns, and the demand seems to
be unlimited.
Mr.. Lambert is the inventor
and patentee of the special ma
chinory required, and is a man
of practical experience in the
business. The roughing and
finishing lathe, a massive piece
OF machinery weighing $1,000
pounds, has as a record of $50
columns on a trial run, while 26O
were turned out at another test
in ten hours.
The machinery patented by
Mr. Lambert has the reputation
of being the very best, superior
in many respects to. any other
built for the same purpose now
on the market, and its first prac-
teal demonstration will be made
in Hendersonville.
AS stated the demand for
these porch columns is prac-
hcally unlimited. During the
recent business depression a
similar plant at Bryson City
made shipments up to the nor
NAL capacity of the plant.
Of these solid bored columns
the Southern Lumberman" in a
recent issue, says they combine
the desirable features of both the
old style and the solid column
without the defects of either.
having the stability Of the solid
column with the lightness of the
STAYED column. 1t has no joints
to open up and the stock is thin
enough to be readily seasoned.
Two years ago a company was
formed in Memphis to manu-
facture these columns. Starting
with an output of about 100
columns a day, their daily ca
pacity is now over 600, and their ]
enormous plant covers six acres
Of ground. l.
Nearly any wood can be used !
for making these columns and this j
factory will afford a home mar I
ket for much of the timber in this c
county. I
1t is proposed to form a stock |
company here with a capital of /
$4,000. This has practi- g
cally been done and the {
factory, without doubt, will be t
delivering it's product by next t
March. r
1t is interesting to note that h
Ar. Lambert states the freight t
rates in effect here offers abso- +
lutey no obstacle to the sue Il
ceSStul marketing of these col
omns. He has carefully inves- e
agated the matter and has the h
rates from Mr.. A. K. Orr, divi- h
Sion freight agent. 81
1t Is Mr.. Lambert's intention Il
TO live in Hendersonville, where G
ne will erect a residence, and t.
With his family be most de- y
SlrabIe and welcome addition to = =
ne citizenship of this town-the y
fastest growing town in the g
South.
