An Important Property Deal.

One of the largest real estate deals
transacted in this city during the
past few weeks was the sale G. the
home of w. J.. Davis out on the Tox-
away railroad near Laurel Park, al

'dence surrounded by a tract of land
containing about 80 acres was bought
this week by Mr.. G.. W. Corriher c"
Salisbury who intends moving his
family here in the fall and remain q
permanent president of Henderse
county.
The Davis place has been owned
and occupied by Mr.. w. ]. Davis,
president of the First National Bank,
and his family for the past twenty
five years.
Mr.. Davis vii not move cut until in
the fall and will probably then move
closer into the city.
The purchasing price is said to
have been in the neighborhood of

Joining lands to this property.

BIGGEST THING YET FOR NORTH

News and Observer.
The. biggest thing that has happen
ed in North Carolina in this century
is the fact that every of the work
ing lays that the sun has gone down
during the past ten years it's rays have
fallen on a new school house. This
fact is not only the biggest fact, but
also the most -far-reaching because
the progress and development of the
state along every line have been help
ed by the etScJiIl of these new schcoi
houses
The new Educational Revival in
North Carolina may be said to have
been commenced with the year 1900,
the year when the suffrage amend
ment was adopted recurring an edQr
cational qualification. In an address
at the Southern Educational Confe"-
ence in Winston Salem in 1901, Gov
ernor Aycock said:
1.-The difficulty which / find most
in the way of education in this state
is the wan of school houses in the
country districts. The towns and the
cities are caring for themselves-they

larger population, and by concentra-
ton of population we a pursue edu-
cation more cheaply; there we have
greater wealth. But in the sparseIy
settled districts of the country we
have not the school houses, and until
we have them we shall not have much
probability of education in this state.
If 1 had the power and the wealth to
put a public school house in every
district in North Carolina, l would
enter into a guarantee that no child,
white or black, in ten years from now
should reach the age of twelve with
out being able to read and write. But
unless we solve the problem we shall
have children who do not go to school.
That is the problem which we must
solve"
Tow has the state met that great
need pointed out by Governor Ay-
cock? BY building a new public
school house every day in every year
since 1900. Here is the official record
! of new school houses erected:

Chimney Rock Popular Place.

At no time before in the history of
Henderson county has the country
tourist business been SO nourishing.
Boarding houses have been started IN
all parts of the county and in some
cases the citizens have almost been
forced into the business on account
of the crowds who prefer to- spend the
summer in this part of the mountains.
A drive out the Chimney Rock road
would convince a person that there
are as many people or more spending
their vacations in the country as
there are crowded in the hotels and
boarding houses of Hendersonville.
Slick Rock Inn about ten miles from
Hendersonville. owned and managed
by C.. M. Dalton, has ha da record
breaking crowd all summer. There
are about 80 guests at this favorite
mountain retreat. The hotel takes It's
name from a historical rock situated
lust beyond the hotel. One of the
principal points of interest Is the old
mill wheel standing near the Inn.
The Logan Place owned by Frank
Logan has long been known as OF
the most hospitable mountain board
ing houses. People who have been
going here for years are still spend
ing the summers here. This season
the Logan place has been crowded
with southern visitors.

A Faithful Dog.


Portland. Ore, July 25.-A tale of
a dogs devotion that will rank with
the best of the traditions of mans
best friend comes from the Cascade
mouhtk ms. There is evidence that
the animal stayed for seven months
guarding the body of its master.
John Parker, who was more than
SO years cid, had long been known
about Bend as a trapper. 1t was his
custom to go into the mountains in
the fall and he seldom came out IN
til the early spring, when he would
appear with his winters catch of
furs, which were generally of. good
value. He went out as usual last
autumn. well provided with food and
other supplies. Of course, there was
no anxiety when he did not reappear
during the winter. When spring had
PASSED, however, and he was still
absent his friends in Bend made in
. ouires at other towns and among
other trappers. They could earn
nothing. They then decided to or
ganize { search.
The party was out for several
weeks. 1t was known that Parker
was accustomed to range the rough
country near Tie uSdu w dCCIO VI ChC
Mckenzie river, and it was to this
region the men went. What snow
was left offered no sign CT any trail
he had made and there was weary
trudging and struggles with natures
obstacles before, on the banks OF a
little body of water called Lava lake
a rude hut was found. AS the search
ers approached there was a fam
bark and out crawled Parker's dog
all skin and bones.
In the cabin was found the body o.
the .trapper and his diary. 1t told
how he had become chilled and ha6
been taken i'll. Day by day he gave
a record of his sufferings and weak.

Dance at Wheeler Hotel

The dance at the Wheeler Friday
night given by the young men of the
city cmopliemntary to the young ladies
was al extremely pleasant one. Some
sixty couples we're in attendance and
enjoyed the festivities until a late
hour. In addition to the regular
guests of the hotel and a large assem-
bly, of townspeople, numerous couples
from Flat Rock. Highland Lake, Ka-
nuga, Osceola and other places assem-
bIed for this dance.
While it was an informal affair a
special musical program particularly
adapted to Terpsichorean affairs was
arranged and exquisitely rendered by
the orchestra. Numerous extras"
were 1~nIerspersed among the regular
numbers by the accommodating must
clans. The floor was n better con
dition than it has been at any other
time this season and contributed large
1y TO the pleasure of the evening.
Such was the crowd that the floor
would have been taxed beyond it's ca
pacity had all the couples attempted
to dance at the same time. In accord
ance with the eternal fitness of things,
whilst some essayed to dance others
charmed by the moonlight ~strolled or
1ounged on the broad verandas and
whispered sweet nothings to each
ether.
The sweet strains of Good Night
Dear, drew the curtain on one of the
most pleasant dances ever given at
The Wheeler.

The Man of the Maine.

Within the cofferdam Of u~npreced-
ented magnitude now surrounding the
Maine lies a vessel so utterly wreck
ed that it can never be nOated, be-
tweon seventy and eighty bodies,
and tons of black mud. 1t is a great
construction in which United States
army engineers are now engaged, as
we'll as one of great sentimental in
terest. Having completely enclosed
the wreck, they will next dig and
pump out the mud, that everything
left CT the Maine and her still-im-
view. These operations are under
the supervision of Chief Engineer
BiXby. The actual work, however, is
being conducted by another officer,
and an extract from tn Havann cor
respondence of The New York Herald
should not be overlooked in that Of
8cer's native State.
"The work of driving the piles,
which several local engineers declare
was one CT the greatest achievements
Of modern engineering" says this &C
count Commenced last October, and
because Of two accidents was not
finished until June Z, when the pump
ing began. 1t was a herculean task
TO construct twenty cylinders so as to
exactly surround the wreck. Each is
composed of two hundred steel piles
seventy-five feet long, driven into the
thin mud to the bottom in thirty feet
of water. This was accomplished by
Major Ferguson with only two &C
| 3idents. The engineers are enthusias
tic in their praise of the work, and
it is suggested that this style of con
struction be known in the future as
the Ferguson cofferdam, although
Major Ferguson mclestly insists that
the design is that of Major Patrick and
suggests that it be named the Maine
cofferdam."
Maj. H. B. Ferguson, now "a years
old, is a Waynesville boy who, 60

The Man at the Auto Wheel.

Six fatal automobile accidents of
ten days may be traced to the neg
lect of the driver in each instance to
fix his attention on the steering
Wheel.
In New Jersey the other day the
driver of a speedy car turned loose
the wheel to brush some cigarette
ashes from his coat. In the next in
slant the car smashed into a tree and
the three passengers were thrown out
and seriously hurt. A man speeding
along the highway from Buffalo turn
ed his head to ask his wife if she
needed 3 wrap and the car was ditch
ed. Both man and wife were killed.
Here pre- two accidents out of many

CataWba County Farmers Face Poor
Outlook for Crops.

Newton, August 1.-Catawba coun-
tv M begin August with the
1gloomiest prospects for crops that
h have faced in many years. AL
though the drought had practically
ruined some time ago all the crops in
certain portions of the county, there
were then other portions where IN
spite of no rain, the outlook was
good. At the beginning of a neW
week even those places show the eff
fects of the amending hot, dry
weather, and there is still no pros
poets of rain.
Not in years has the county suffer-
ed so much. The pessimist stands on
all and the most optimistic
arc blue. The fairest promises OF re-
cord crops have vanished.
