Nj. Thomas OF China
Talks Of HcndeIsOnUIe

Mr.. James A. Thomas, Of
Shanghai, China, has been in the
city at the Hotel Gates for the
past few days. He is a native of
this state and feels the keenest
interest in Hendersonville and
her welfare. In a conversation
with one of Hendersonville's
prominent citizens, Mr.. C. E..
Wilson, Mr.. Thomas says: "a
great many people have an en-
tlrely wrong impression of the
Chinese nation. I have been
among her people flor the past
fourteen years and if anybody
knows them I do. My company,
or the one of which | am presi-
dent and general manager, has
in its employ 200 men. We do a
hardware business on a very
large scale"
In speaking of the agricultural
advantages of China, Mr.. Thorn
as says: Throughout the United
States young men are sent over
to China every day to teach the
Cinnamon in using the modern
methods in their farming and to-
day many Americans are getting
rich quick on the farm"
Mr.. Wilson, who always puts in
a good word for Hendersonville
when the occasion arrives, asked
Mr.. Thomas what he thought of
the city. Il was most pleasant
ly surprised in finding Hender-
sonville such a delightful place.
Several people have told me many
wonderful things of your city,
but | could not appreciate them
until | came myself. | am going
back to China in September.
There are several retired Ameri-
cans in the city of Shanghai who
have accumulated immense for
tunes. They instructed me to
look about for a desirable place
for them to spend the summers.
| shall certainly place your city
above all others in my estimation
of a good place to spend the sum-
mers and even the winters. Hen
Jacksonville is, to my mind, the
most ideal mountain resort in the
continued Mr.. Thomas.

Death Of ]. ". Cairnes.

Mr.. ]. w. Cairnes, one of the
most esteemed citizens and sue
cessful merchants of Henderson
vile, died at his home here on
Saturday, after a brief illness.
The funeral services, held at
the Baptist church Sunday after
noon at half-past two, were con-
Quoted by Rev. Jno. w. Moore
and Rev. John Hughes. The sa-
cred edifce was crowded to it's
full capacity, and it is said no
more beautiful or abundant floral
tributes were ever seen here than
on this occasion. The funeral
procession was probably the long
est ever seen on the streets of
HenderSonville.
Mr.. Cairnes was an esteemed
member of the I. 0. o. F. and of
the Woodmen of the World. The
pallbearers were from his brother
members of these orders, and
the services at the grave were
under their charge.
The deceased leaves a wife and
one child. He was married about
two years ago to Miss Hassie Sit
ton, daughter of Silas Sitton, of
Horse Shoe. Mr.. Cairnes was a
son of Mr. w. Cairnes, also of
Horse Shoe. A few years ago
he left Henderson County for
Pittsburg, and returning here
about two years ago, embarked
in the mercantile business near
the depot.
Walter Cairnes was a man all
the way through, and will be
missed here. He was a good cit
iven, a loving husband and faith
er and his friends are many.
The pallbearers were, from the
Odd Fellows, G.. G. Hyder, J. c..
Beck, Luther Ward. From the
w. o. w. they were Jess John
son, Furman McCarson and 0. S.
Orr.

The Largest Crowd Here

Said a well known citizen this
morning: Il have returned from
a business trip to Asheville and
other places in the mountains
and | find the largest crowd
right here in Hendersonville.
The town. just about full of
tourists and the excursions are
soon due. Main street is like
Atlantic City's famous board
walk and some strikingly beauti-
full gowns may be seen there in
the evening promenade.
The hotels and boarding houses
are practically full of guests,
and the drug stores are dispen-
sing soft drinks by the barrel.
In all probability this is is the
most successful season of any in
recent years. HendersonYille
we'll advertised and those who
come here are not disappointed.

The Other Man
Made The Money.

Mr.. Walter S. Alexander, presi.
dent of the Southern Realty and
Trust Co., Charlotte, now in
town, says:
Il have made money in Hen.
Jacksonville real estate, but not
as much as the men have to
whom / have sold. Real estate
here looks good to me, for this
certainly is the coming city of
this section. The town is i'm
proving wonderfully"
Mr., Alexander has owned
much real estate here, has sold
part and thinks the remainder
his best investment.
With Mrs. Alexander he has
just arrived in town from Allan
tic City where they spent some
time at the Hotel Traymore.
They are now registered at the
Gates and will remain there
several weeks.

John F. SeaWeI Dead.

1t will come as a shock to most
people here to learn that Mr..
John F. Seawell died at his home
in Atlanta last night, Mr.. A. A.
Gates receiving the news by wire
this morning.
Mr.. Seawell, with his wife
and son lived and made many
friends in town while he was
the owner of the ice and laundry
plant here.
He was a Christian high-mind-
ed gentleman in every sense of
the word, a consistent member
of the Methodist church, and
while of advanced age the news
of his sudden and unexpected
death will shock his many friends
in Hendersonville.
A widow, Mrs. A.. A. Gates

SATURDAYS DAILY.

Saturdays Daily Hustler had
six pages, instead of the custom
airy four. The demand for adj
vertising space in this excellent
medium is such, that but for me-
chanical difficulties, it would be
increased to eight pages for the
rest of the season.
The Daily Hustler seems to be
welcome in this town. It is, of
course devoted to HENDERSON,
VILE, first, last and all the
time. 1t gives the news of
HENDERSONVILLE, which is
what the people want.

Fletcher Graded School.

Prof. H. M. Ainsley, of Ores.
well, Washington county, is the
efficient principal in charge OF
Fletcher Egraded school, which
recently opened up with an
attendance of 55 pupils and the
brightest prospects in it's history.
Miss Sue Lanning is assistant
principal, and the corps of tea
cheers give entire satisfaction.
The g reatest interest is mani
tested in this prosperous COM
munity and their school and it is
believed this will be the best ses-
sion in it's history.

Should Have Read
$4,000 Reward

Several hours after the Daily
Hustler was on the street, Satur-
day, the town authorities had a
circular out headed $500 Re
ward" etc. This is where they
made a mistake, for while the
town offered $500, the citizens
offered more than $500 additional
and the circular would have been
ten times more effective had it
been headed $1,000 instead of
$500.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been great hurrying and
sCurrying on the part of the food man

make them conform to the law.

spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can AT.

PAINT FAULTS.

1t is a common occurrence nova
days to hear a man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, will send you q lead

of book of color schemes, speclica-
tons. etc, upon request.
