Soil Survey Of
Henderson County.

gresham w. T. Crawford the,
Federal Government has recent
ly completed an exhaustive sur
vey of the soil of Henderson
county, made by w. Edward
Hearn, assisted by G. M. Nc
Nider, of the North Carolina De-
partment of Agriculture.
The results of the labors of
these gentlemen are embodied
in a pamphlet of Is pages with
am excellent map, from which
the following interesting extracts
are made.
Nearly all the farms in Hen
derson County are operated by
the owners. Those tenanted are
generally farmed on a share
basis. The size of the farms
varies greatly. In the vicinity
of Hendersonville and in many
other localities there are a num-
Der of farms which rangesin size
from Is to go acres. Many of
the best farms contain about rs
acres under cultivation and more
or less woodland, in all from 200
to 500 acres. One lumber COM
pany owns about 5000 acres, ina
single tract, while 80, 900 acres, or
practically all of the western end
of the county, is included in the
Vanderbilt estate.
Within the last few years both
the farming and timber lands
have increased greatly in value.
The rough mountain lands are
now held at SIS or Sc per acre,
the cultivated mountain land at
$40 to $25, and land in the val
ley and in the rolling plateau
around Hendersonville at prices
ranging from 500 to $75 an acre,
depending on location and i'm
provements.
Some fairly good roads are
found in Henderson County, but
there is need of more, and moth
ing would do more to enhance
the value of farming lands than
an extension and improvement
of the road system. The rough
mountainous areas should remain
forested. or when denuded OF
their timber should be used fol
pasture.
The winters are comparatively
mild, while the summers are COO
and pleasant. The precipitation
is fairly we'll distributed through.
out the year, although a slightly
amount falls during the
summer months.
The average date of the last
killing frost in the spring is
April %, and of the first in the
fall October q. There is thus
for the tenderest plants a grow
ing season of about 100 days.
The air is dry, bracing, and in

led with the topography and ex
cellent water. from the numerous
springs on the mountains, make:

WOMAN ACCUSED IF POISONING BY
 WHOLESALE
Status of Woman in Massa, chusetts Case Soon to
 Be Established

BOSTON, Mass, November 30.-Is Mrs. Mary Kelleher, who is about to be placed on trial in East Cambridge, a victim of strange combination ot circumstances, or is she fend fit to be classed with Mrs. Gunness, H.-H. Holmes and other notorious characters who made murder their professional at tainment2 Attendants and others who have had opportunity to study the wo- man during the year she has spent in the East Cambridge jail declare she does not present any of the usual traits of a murderess. On the other hand, physicians who have examined the sto- maehs of her alleged victims are said to have discovered unmistakable traces of arsenic.
 Mrs. Kelleher is accused of murder ing six persons, and all were members of her own family. The detectives found evidence of the payment of life insurance to Mrs. Kelleher after the death of each member of her family The case of the prosecution is based on the claim that Mrs. Kelleher was the person who had exclusive oppor- tunity to administer the poison, and that she was the only person to. benefit in q pecuary way from the death of those who died. It is also alleged that during the brief illness of each one Mrs. Kelleher employed no nurse and had only occasional assistance from friends and neighbors.
 Five of the deaths in the Kelleher family occurred in the woman s home in Somerville. The sixth occurred in the Carney hospital in South Boston.
 The first death of the series was that of Bridget Knowles, sister of Mrs. Kel- leher. She died on June 30, 1905. The cause of death was set forth as rheu- matism, nephritis and a disease of the heart. On March l, 1906, came the second death, that of Annie T. Kelle- her, sister-in-law of the accused woman. The third death was that of Mrs. Kel- leher's husband, who died less than three months after Annie Kelleher. Six months later Mary Kelleher, a daughter, died, and the following January oc- cured the death of William Kelleher, a son. The sixth death was that of an other daughter, Catherine M. Kelleher, whose sudden death was ascribed to ptomaine poisoning.

For the second and third prizes several ladies had equal scores and it was necessary to decide by cutting cards. The second prize, a beautiful silver brooch studded with amethysts, was awarded to Miss Edith Bailey, while Mrs. w. s. Sultan won the third prize, a gold belt buckle. The consola ton prize fell to Mrs. Geo. w. P. Hunt and consisted of handsome box of pale azure note paper.
 After the prizes had been awarded dainty refreshments were served. lire too, the color scheme was carried out, the gold predominating in the various courses. The favors were little yellow crepe baskets filled with salted nuts. The refreshments consisted of chicken patties, cheese straws, olives, pickles, hot biscuits and butter, orange sher- bet, gold cakes and coffee. Golden punch was served during the games.
 The hostesses wore beautiful white lingerie gowns and jabots of maline with gold ornaments. The guests were all handsomely gowned,

KILLED WHILE TRY
ING TO BOARD TRAIN
GEORGE SMITH MEETS ALMOST
INSTANT DEATH MONDAY.
Was En- Route to oeaIa to Assist His
Son, Who Was Reported
in Trouble.
,m Tuesday's Dally SUI:

ION Tuesdays Daily Sun:
George Smith, a middle-aged colored
imam who was employed by Wade
Thomas of Monteocha, was killed here
Monday at noon while attempting to
board the south-bound passenger
train of the A. c. L. just on the
square.
From what could be learned 1t ap-
pears that Smith had learned OF his
son being arrested at ocala ana
came here for the purpose Of getting
the money to go there and get him
out Of his trouble, when he met his
sudden death by being ground to
death under the wheels}of the cars.
Two coaches passed over the mans
legs and from his thighs down his
flesh resembled a mass OF sausage
meat, SO badly cut and mangled was
his condition. and he lived only few
minutes after the accident, never once
speaking to anyone.
Witnesses who claim to have seen
the accident state that the train had
passed and the darkey at first caught
the Pullman car to board the train,
but realizing he was in the wrong
place turned loose and ran further up
between the white coach and the
Pullman and attempted to get ON the
train but someone standing on the
platform intepfered with his getting
aboard and in some manner his feet
were caught under the trucks. which
quickly pulled him from his hold and
he was ground beneath the wheels.
Sheriff Ramsey On learning OF the
affair summoned Justice Carlisle. who
sie'Eed the remains, but after hearing
some Of the evidence deemed that an
inquest was Unnecessary and turned
the body over to- Smiths wife and
other relatives who had come with
him to the city.
The darkey was said TO be good
man and had worked Tor Mr. Thomas
for quite awhile on Ms farm in the
Monteocha section, hat desiEous OF
releasing his son from tr0ahle had
came here and secured the money
only to meet his sudden end.
The above is the second accident |

have happened on this road here
