CAPTURES DESPERATE

With shot gun close at hand
and a belt of cartridges around
his waist, Wade Bowers, an
alleged desperate, was captured
at the home of Pink Ward, Zir-
coma, Sunday morning, by Sheriff
Blackwell and Otis Powers. He
is charged with assaulting
Pace, who has an ugly wound in
his head, inflicted by a shot gun
in the hands of Bowers.
The Sheriff and Mr.. Powers
were called fir rom their beds at
one o'clock. Sunday morning,
and made a quick trip to Zirconia,
in answer to the urgent summons
for aid from people there.
They found a crowd of well
armed and somewhat excited men
in front of the Ward house,
waiting their arrival. The house
was surrounded and Powers
entered and soon had his man
safely handcuffed. They re-
turned to town with their priso-
ner, arriving about 10 o'clock.
Bowers is about % years old
and has the reputation of being
a bad man" a desperate, and
it is said there are two bench
warrants out for him in South
Carolina. He was taken to Green
vile, s. c., on Monday, a deputy
sheriff from that town coming
here for that purpose. He will
later be tried here for assault on

Of the many great enter
prises, public and private, now
almost consumated in this city,
all of them having a direct and
important bearing upon the
growth and development of
Greater Hendersonville, not one
is more important, nor will con-
tribute more to the upbuilding Of
the city, than Hon. WA. Smiths
comprehensive plans for the
immediate development of Lau-
rel Park admittedly the most
beautiful natural park in Ameri-
ca.
The old dummy line, which
has transported so many hun
dreds of thousands of people to
this beauty spot, is to be aban-

under which wagons may be
easily and quickly loaded, addi-
tional trackage, etc.
The stone from this quarry is
susceptible of the highest finish.
There are several different kinds,
all of them of high grade, pos
sessing the most desirable work
ing qualities.
AS a developing industry of
Hendersonville this great quarry
with it's interesting machinery is
we'll worth a visit. Only in
scenic splendor has Dame Ma
ture been more liberal to this
favored spot, for here she has
deposited the finest of stone in
quantities sufficient to build
great cities and to pave the roads
of Christendom.
With all the advantages posi-
BILE for any spot to possess for
home sites, with the new lake,
the canal, the new roads and the
car line penetrating it's utmost
recesses, parts of Laurel Park
will soon be dotted with modern
residences, for it is Mr.. Smiths
intention to at last put portions
of this magnificent property on
the market.
The strictest building restric-
tions will make of Laurel Park
the most desirable residence Sec
tion of Hendersonville. No
more attractive spot can be found
for a home-a home in the most
beautiful park in America, easily
and quickly reached by a modern
car line and situated but a trifie
over a:.miles from Main street.
Truly a rare opportunity will be
here offered to those seeking a
place where they may own a
home confident that no undesir-
able class, no unpleasant in
fiuences will mar the pleasure of
that ownership.
So, of all the public and pri-
vate enterprises now consul
mating here, all of which will
tend to build up and make posi-
BILE a greater, a more beautiful
Hendersonville, none are so
fraught with far reaching i'm
portance as this development of
Laurel Park-which calls for an
ultimate expenditure of not less
than between thirty and forty
thousand dollars - and which
without doubt, will influence
many a man of means to selecC
as his future home Henderson
ville-the fastest growing town

great earthen dam offering Sc
cure protection to the lower lands
below it.
This superb body of water, it's
shores heavily fringed with lau-
rel and rhododendron and white
pine, rejecting the brightest of
skies and overleaning noun
tain tops, will be encircled by a
new road now being built, pass
ing through dense thickets of
laurel and shaded by magnificent
trees which have been many
scores of years in the growing.
From one end of Rhododendron
Lake opens up the canal which
will connect it with it's little sis
ter, Rainbow Lake, so familiar to
the thousands who have visited.
Laurel Park. This winding lane
of water, nearly a mile in length,
is cut along and through the
mountain side and is an attrac-
ton unique to this park. Above
the canal will run the street car
line, below it stretches level
fields and winding roads. Such
a trip as will be possible here,
through the canal, winding
around the mountainside, through
masses of laurel and rhododen-
dron, will afford visitors an ex-
perience to be had nowhere else,
and for novelty and interest the
imagination would be hard taxed
to find it's equal.
Looking down and into
! the imped depths of Rho
dodendron Lake is Mt. Pan
Drama, whose lofty summit
is reached by a winding
road built through dense
growths of laurel and pine
81. for it's laurel, pine and
rhododendron everywhere
in Laurel Park-while half
way to the peak is a spring
of even greater beauty and
flow of water than famed
Crystal Spring, and one can
but imagine the picture un-
folded daily from this noun
tain before the eyes of that
fortunate man who, some
day, will insist upon buying
the great hill and building
for himself thereon a home.
Nature has been busy for
thousands of years prepar-
ing this heaped up mass of
earth and rocks for some
mans habitation, and he
who builds on Mt. Pano-
rama will have a site for a
home which is we'll nigh in
comparable.
In the $50 acres compris-
ing the park proper, there
are now ten miles of roads
and they are good roads,
too. Few places anywhere
are more abundantly blessed
with water-for Laurel
Park simply abounds with
springs of remarkable flow
and purity, whose waters
have been analyzed and
found to be that rarest of
human necessities - just
pure water. From one Of
the many springs gushes
forth a pelucid stream which
authorities state to be superior
to the famous Poland water of
Maine, which has made many a
fortune for it's fortunate owner.
But not the least interesting
feature of a place full of interest
lis the mammoth stone quarry
which Mr.. Smith has been work
ing since last Spring. Here may

Special Correspondence 70 The Press
UPTON, Mass, April 21.-Mrs.
Emma Thomas pointed with trem.
bling finger to the chapter in the
Book of Ruth, as she stood recently
before the Massachusetts State
Board of Charities making the
strangest plea ever heard before
that body-or any similar body.
Mrs. Thomas was begging that
she be allowed to leave the world
of living men, and go to a living
death in Massachusetts leper col
ony on lonely Penikese island.
Mrs. Thomas is not leper. She
is strong and well. She knows that
once on the island she can never
return. She knows she goes to a
tomb. That If she ever leaves the
island the world will cry, "Unclean
unclean," and flee from her like an
accursed thing.
Yet she pleaded with the state
officials, who heard her gravely.
you see, it's the boy" she sob
bed. "My son, you know. You've
taken him from me. and put him
there. He is the only interest
have in the world. | just want to
be with him, and help him."
And in the end the board granted
the permission. Mrs. Thomas was
officially appointed attendant to all
the 10 lepers in the colony.
Mrs. Thomas knows what leprosy
is. She knows that sooner or later
she will become afflicted, she
knows the dread horror of the dis.
ease, how 1t mutilates and eats up

the body, killing its victims inch by
inch.
But mother love Is greater than
all else. She goes to the island
gladly. To her it isn't sacrifice
merely an opportunity of service
of doing one thing more for the
bright boy she brought into the
world.
For 17-year-old James Archibold
Thomas, the son, is a bright boy,
and his coming was hailed with
pleasure by the other lepers.
James, always leader in his
studies, became interested two
years ago in wireless telegraphy.
and is now a proficient operator.
He built his own station at Upton,
Mass, his old home. His playmates
there have raised fund to send
the apparatus to him at the leper
island, SO that he can continue his
experiments.
Penikese island is a lonely DESC
late place. The waves from the
ocean sweep the coast, and the
winds roar over it in time of storm.
Often in winter the little packet
which brings mail and provisions
to the colony is unable to make the
trip.
With Jimmy Thomas a member
of the colony, Penikese island will
keep in touch with the world. The
boy leper's signals will flash across
the ocean, and up and down the
coast The news of the world will
be caught on his key, and given to
the other colonists.
To Mrs. Thomas the sentence of
her son to the lepers' colony two
weeks ago was the more terrible In
that it laid bare an old wound, yet
at the same time, it was something
of relief.
For her husband. the boys faith
er, died of leprosy eight years ago.
Over the son hung all the time
since mothers devouring fear
that he might have the germs of it
in his body--a fear she could not
