THE FRUITS OF
HENDERSON COUNTY.

Go down to F. G. Harris place
on Main street. Observe the
many and varied kinds of teams
and vehicles in the big lot. Then
take a look in at the enormous
stock Of cabbage and potatoes in
the long narrow building and
then ask yourself if little old
Henderson County t the natu-
raj home of these luscious fruits
the delicate cabbage and the nu-
tritious potato! And it's the
same way down at Tom Carson's
at the depot, at Doc" PAGES and
Govan Hyder's. The amount of
produce being shipped from this
county is enormous, although the
crop is but probably 60 per cent
of the average.
All the produce men agree that
the farmers of the county must
pay more attention to the grad
ing of their potatoes if they in
tend to hold their own in the
sharp competition with Virginia
and Tennessee points. They say
the stock must be graded and
graded close and a business built
up on the reputation of Hender-
son county products. They say
if Henderson County farmers
ship poor stock this year it will
result in other points getting
business which belongs to this
section, but if proper attention is
paid to sorting and grading this
county has nothing to fear.

Killed By FREIGHT Train

Struck by a freight train Satur-
day morning while walking on the
Southern's tracks between Hen
Jacksonville and Saluda, B. L.
lies in his coffin at
Steps Undertaking rooms with
his head. split almost in two, a
CHASTITY, hideous spectacle, and
his death, it is said, is indirectly
due to.a murderous attack made
on him by three men near Tryon,
yesterday evening.
The unfortunate man, not yet
identified, but said to be B.
L. Reynolds, is unquestionably
the same who was attacked by
three men at Tryon yesterday,
struck ON the head with a heavy
piece of lumber, and then, bleed
ing from his wounds, allowed to
go on MS way.
This was yesterday evening,
when, according to creditable
witnesses, he started toward
Hendersonville in an apparently
and half-conscious condi-
ton as a result of his injuries.
This morning at 10 o'clock he
was struck and instantly killed
by the local Southern freight
between here and Saluda, while
walking alongside the track, ev-
identity unconscious of his danger.
The body was brought to Hen
Jacksonville by the passenger
train and DR.. Kirk held a coro-
ner's inquest at the depot. The
body was then removed to Stepp's
where it now lies awaiting iden-
LITIGATION.
The man is poorly dressed,
wore no coat, a cotton shirt,
seems about Is years old, is about
5 feet and ten inches in height,
smooth shaven and medium
build.
Aside from the terrific wound
in the head there are no other
marks on the body so far as is
known.
In his pockets were draymen's
receipts from the Carolina Mfg.
Co., of Spartanburg. There
were no letters or means of iden-
LITIGATION.
Robert Parker, who came in.
on the excursion today from
Tryon. is positive. after viewing
the body, that the dead man is
the same as the one attacked in
Tryon yesterday.
According to Mr.. Parker, Rey-
nolds was jumped by Rome
Durham and two other men
there yesterday, was struck on
the back of the head with a
heavy piece of lumber and fl
nally, after making complaint to
Policeman Metcalf of that town.,

he did not realize his dan
ger until too late and met his
awful death as a result of the
attackmade on him yesterday.
1t is believed Reynolds worked
in a mill in Spartanburg. His
parents are said to live in Ashe-
vile and efforts are now being
made to communicate with them.
Engineer H. C. Ransom, Of

ner's inquest. testified that the

Farm Values

The money value of all farm products
of 1908 reaches the extraordinary total
in the nations history-$7,7 IT'S, OO0 900.
This is about four times the value of
the mines, including mineral oils and
precious metals. The farmer contrib
utes 81 per cent of the raw materials
used in those manufacturing Industries
which depend mostly or considerably
upon agricultural materials, and these
industries use AZ per cent of all mate
rails used in all industries. The gain in
value of farm products in 1908 over 1907
is $500, 900, 900 and would have been
much larger had not the prices of cotton
and hay been low. The value of pro.
ducts in 1899, the census year, being
taken at 100, the value for 1908 stands
at 1875; for 1904, 1871; for 1905, at 1874;
for 1905, at 143; for 1907, 1876; and for
1908, at 1865. During The last ten years
the wealth production on the farms of
this country has exceeded the fabulous
sum Of 800, 900, 600, 900. D..
