Hendersonville, N. c.,
May 1st. 1909.
| gave you, by my former let
ter, my first impressions of Hen
jacksonville as a summer resort.
By this letter I want to show you
that my first excellent impress
sion, after having been here for
the past four weeks, looking over
every part of the town and sur
roundings, has been in no way
erroneous, nor has my description
of the place been too fattering.
Hendersonville was only a small
village a few years ago. Now
Main street, one hundred feet
broad, looks like a boulevard,
with splendid broad sidewalks,
shade trees, and magnificent
buildings that have been and are
being constantly erected all along
both sides, and large, deep stores
that in every respect bear COM
parison with the best equipped
stores of the larger cities.
Hendersonville is now a beau
tiful little city of about 5000 in
habitants; but it's population is
increasing considerably from year
to year.
By it's natural advantages, its
ideal location, upon a vast rolling

Enlistment of these artificial

of these lakes, Laurel Park,
about 80 minutes walk from Main
street and connected with the
town by a steam car running in
summer. The scenery all around
the lake is beautiful.
On the north side slope there
is a summer hotel, ''The Retreat"
it must be a delightful summer
home. The Laurel Park around
the lake where wonderful rhodo-
dendon is growing profusely
makes that section of the town a
sort of a dreamland.
Another artificial lake, Osceola
Lake, much larger, the finishing

just now, is located on the south
side of the town same distance,
about 80 minutes walk from Main

,JuStjce Brewer on An Income Tax

It will be remembered that Justice Brewer was one of the five justices of the supreme court who legislated an income tax out of existence after it had been collected many years, and after it had received the indorsement of the supreme court for fully 100 years. Justice Brewer seems to con sider himself the special conservator of the rich, and his record is, to say the least, peculiar. And yet he was Rppionted from the state of Kansas.
 His declaration that the ratification of the Sixteenth amendment would de- prive the states of their vitality is ut ter nonsense. It would no more de- prive state of vitality than tax on tobacco or whisky. It did not de- prive any state of vitality In the civil war period. There is neither rhyme nor reason, evidence nor logic in Jus tice Brewers statement.
 The proposed Sixteenth amendment is not mandatory An income tax may not be laid in a generation. Ratifica- ton would simply give the general government power to levy an income tax in an emergency despite Justice Brewer and those who think as he does on the supreme bench. That fve-by-four decision did, in fact, make the Sixteenth amendment needful Jus tice Brewer and his four associates builded better than they knew. He should keep his temper while the peo- pie are engaged in reversing that de- rision,

BIrmIn6bam'S Protest

It is earnestly hoped that President Taft will not insist upon foreign coal and ore being admitted to the United States free of duty. He is said to be seeking to influence Congress in favor of placing raw material on the free list but when the Birmingham dis tricts side Is presented to him he will, it Is believed, see the harmful ness of his policy and the reasonable ness of the protest. Representative business men, fully realizing what a serious blow free coal and ore would be to capital invested in Alabama's s mineral development, have telegraphed the President and in a few words have only leopard the millions of dollars all ready invested in this state but would prevent further investment now in sight"
 The President enjoys the reputation of being a business-like man as well as a just man, and it will be a<sur- prise and disappointment to the vast business interests of Alabama if he does not respond favorably to the pe- tition of those who adequately repre- sent the solid enterprise of this section President Taft is in a dilemma, to be sure. He has in mind his campaign pledges to the effect that tariff re- vision would be downward, and Con- gress is about to put upon consumers a tariff worse than Dingley's. He is honest in his desire to give the masses relief. But fairness and justice to all sections would certainly demand, as the Baltimore Manufacturers Record points out, that one section should not be sacrificed to enrich special interests in other sections.
 Let ore and coal be kept off the free list and the Birmingham district will enter upon a new era of prosperity that will surpass all former records.

THE ORIGINAL coRNcoR PIPE.

From the Wa6n1nBtou Tost.
 Your real cob pipe, such as Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner enjoys. lends a charm, a magic. to the man who smokes that no Havana cigar ever imparted. It is con- ducive to reverie and pleasing thoughts It is the real pipe of peace. The cob must not be steamed before the pipe is fashioned, but seasoned by the influence of a late autumn and early winter att mosphere.
 Imagine in the Kentucky Pennyrile or "'tis 50 years since" an old colored slave shelling corn for "a turn O meal" He sets aside some dozen of the cobs that suit his fancy These he makes into pipes with delft and cunning hand, with sharp knife he had employed to scrape basket splits" When stripping" tobacco his master had allowed him to choose 25 or 30 pounds of the pick of the crop. This was left in bulk the entire winter. and when in early June 1t went into sweat" 1t was sprayed with old peach brandy, in which new honey was dissolved. Then 1t was twisted and laid away in an old, dry oak "chist" till fall.

Carline was the cook and ruled Archie as their master never did Along in the late October, Archie would sit down to supper of pot Ticker, cab bage or black-eyed peas, his appetite whetted by generous hog driver of plain whisky his master had rewarded him with. and he would eat and eat and eat pot Ticker cornbread, sweet 'taters and okra. and drink and drink and drink fresh cool buttermilk
 After that he would load his corncob pipe with the tobacco he had stored away. and smoke and smoke and smoke.
 If 1t was good 'possum weather, he sum moned every boy on the place, white and black, and went with dog into the swamp, where he rarely failed of his mission, Otherwise he told the chaps tales like Uncle Remus was delivered of. That was luxury; It was happinessi

Charles w. liar man, manager for the Winkler Brokerage company, was in an adjoining room, how ever and saw the negro pick up the pocketbook. He hurried out of his door into the hallway and intercepted the thief as the latter ran out of the door leading from the stenographer's room. But the negro was strong and active and showed MT. Harman aside. He made for the stairway with MT. Harman in pursuit Several men were in the hall at the time but they seemed dazed at the boldness of the thief and made no effort to seize Jim.
 MT. Harman was not armed but he be- thought him of jerking his spectacle case out of his pocket, drew 1t on the thief as if 1t had been a weapon. The ruse was effective. The negro dropped the pocket book on the floor as he started down. stairs He ran all the way down the steps to the ground floor and then ran into the street. No one halted him and he easily made his escape.

From the Denver Poat.

From the Denver Post
 XA NE of the most remarkable and kOD fruitful exploration trips into the
 very heart of the Land of the Midnight Sun, embracing territory never before visited by white travellers, has just ended in the return to Denver of Charles 1 L. Smith, a train dispatcher, who was caught by the "Klondike fever 10 years ago, and was lost in the great unknown north.
 Making his way alone through and be- yond the valley of the Mackenzie river into the Arctic circle. he spent years in the land which has hitherto been known only in the imagination, He has returned with a knowledge which will be eagerly grasped at by scientists and geographers and which will furnish abundant matter for an intelligent study of conditions ob- talning in the farthest north.
 Most important of the wanderers dis coveries Is, perhaps, vast field of copper ore stretching 800 miles or more beyond Great Slave lake, reaching to the shores of Great Bear lake, Ore in this field, de- clares Smith. will assay from 80 to 90 per cent. Banks of a small river which flows through this belt are for height of 8 or 10 feet, literally formed of almost pure copper. according to the explorer
 Where the river empties into the Arctic ocean, asserts Smith, islands for many miles out are formed of copper ore. washed into the ocean by the stream. At Tt. Norman, far south of the ore belt
 lln points 40 miles west of true north. This apparent phenomenon has long been pug zling to scientists. The diversion of the needle is now accounted for by Smith in the presence of the copper belt which, no doubt, acts as a magnet powerful enough at that distance to divert the compass needle.
 The resources of the great field of cop per ore in dollars and cents Smith does not attempt to compute. That 1t reaches far into almost impossible millions goes without saying.
 Thinking to reach the Klondilke fields by a land route not taken by other parties. Smith touched at Edmonton, a small town in the province of Alberta, In western Canada. From here he travelled 100 miles by stage to Athabasca Landing. Here he chose to reach the Arctic ocean by means of the Athabasca river, and down this he travelled in 19-foot boat,
 Losing his bearings. he crossed Great Slave lake, 200 miles down the river. into Great Slave river. and eventually into the untraveled land adjacent to the Mackenzie river.
 In the valley of the Mackenzie he was lost. He was unarmed. alone and-what was his greatest hardship of all-out of tobacco. On the northern side of Lake

LOST IN THE ARCTIC

Athabasca, far into the Arctic circle. field of Iron ore greater even than that bordering Lake Superior. was discovered. Beyond this is field of silver and lead ore assayed S5 per cent lead and ounces of silver to the ton.
 After spending some time in roaming about these fields. Smith found himself back in the land of the Cree Indians and the neighborhood of the Grand Rapids. Here the fall of the river is 30 feet to the half mile. The Indians speed down the river In their canoes at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Near are iron, coal and limestone fields which hold vast fortunes to those who can find the way to take ad- vantage of them.
 Many of the Indians never saw a com mon housef1y until the white man in the territory brought the fly into the land. In July the bulldog fly resembling the horse- fly, invades the country, but 8 large bug appears in August and devours this insect.
 Mosquitoes are found in abundance. Smith said that five minutes after one had gone into the forest the hand was the color of blood
 The Indians use the dog as the means of transportation. A ride on a sleigh drawn by four dogs and going at the rate of 50 or 60 miles day sounds very invit- ing to the average American, but when the practical real experience is revealed 1t loses some of its attractiveness. MT. Smith gives a vivid description of such ride. First, the food for the dogs Is packed They live on fish, four dogs eat ing 10 a day. Then our own food Is packed and the utensils, blankets, extra clothing, etc. When all Is in we find that there is a good 400 pounds, and this is the limit of our dogs ability to draw. We must be content to follow behind on snowshoes, and if we cover 20 or 30 miles in one day we are doing fine. Often times the dogs give out and we are com pelled to leave them behind to either starve or be picked up by the Indians. I slept out in the open without fear, only the trees and blue sky above when the thermometer registered 67 degrees below zero and my only covering was two pairs of blankets"
 The Indians of the Land of the Midnight Sun live, as we Americans would term it, from hand to mouth" The head of the family starts out with his gun and his squaw and pappooses follow on behind with dog sleigh. Wherever he kills moose there is his new home, and the whole family feast and make merry until the food supply gives out, and then 1t Is time to move once more.
 Smith finally found his way to the Arc tic ocean, and there his journey home began, He probably will be sent back by an exploration company, and looks forward eagerly to the trip.
