WAS CRAZY"
DECLARES MEXICAN.

Congressman From Vera Cruz Gives
That Reason for Arrest and DEPOSIT
ton of President
Tampa, Fla, Sept. 4-Strict enforce
rent of neutrality along the Mexican
border to prevent the importation of
arms by American oil interests is the
cure for the ills that beset Mexico, de-
clared Thomas Braniff, representing
the State of Vera Cruz in the Mexican
congress. Senior Braniff is here for a
rest, free from the turbulence which
besets his native land.
"Huerto arrested Madero, which re-
suited in the presidents assassination.
because Madero was crazy" declared
Senior Braniff. "Madero had issued
orders to Huerta to blow up the arse
nal, endangering the life of nearly
every one in the capital. To fail to
carry out this order would have meant
the execution of Huerta."
Senior Braniff says he does not be-
lieve that ,Huerta will offer for the
presidency, and that IN election in the
republic at this time would be a farce.
He has been urged to be a candidate,
but will not consent to have his name
used unless he is convinced that peace
full and honest elections are possible.

STPETET|MES
ON new COLONY
Something About the New st. Peters.
burg Colony Near HilIgirt Taken
From st. Petersburg Times.

n st. Petersburg Times of Septem
Der 8, contains an article anent the
Mountain Home Colony of st. Peters
burg people located at Hillgirt, this
county. The article is as follows:
"The new Mountain Home %proposi-
ton, which is being promoted by sew
cal st. Petersburg ctizens, is well
under way and the plans and report
Of the lately surveyed tract of land
will be submitte dto the Mountain
Home Company for their approval as
soon as r, G. Ridgely can prepare the
report.
"R. G. Ridgely, of the RidgeIy real
estate firm in this city, returned yes
terday from North Carolina, where
the new colony is being built, and is
preparing a report of the survey he
made during the month he was there.
Mr.. Rtdgely says the new summer
home scheme is a winner, and that big
preparations are already being made
for the building of cottages, a club
house, and for the laying u of a gen.
cral outline of the colony.
"The tract of land contains 700 acres
OF mountain land in the western part
of North Carolina. Half the land is
mountainous and the other half is roll
ing. There are about 200 acres of till
able land, on which is. a farm house.
There is a family living on the farm
at present, managing things until the
local company can build some summer
homes and settle. The plan of the
.llage has been made but has not yet
been approved by the company.
"The settlement of summer homes
will be on the rolling portion of the
land and many of the streets will be
winding. This effect will be followed
to give a beautiful appearance to the
settlement. At present there is a ma
tural winding drive On the crest of the
mountains. In the mountains arc
many springs of cold water. The soil
in that country absorbs water easily,
therefore making the driveways de-
sirable in rainy weather. The aver
age elevation of the rolling section is
about ESQ feet. At this height the air
is cool and very desirable during the
hot summer months.
"The winter homes land is located
fOur miles north of Hendersonville, n.
c., on the Hendersonville and Ashe-
vile road. The farm formerly belong
ed to Florence Roland and was pur-
chased from her by a company of st.
Petersburg financiers.
"a company was formed in this city
for the purpose of buying the land
and promoting the scheme until d
thickly settled colony of st. Peters
burg people will live there during the
summer. Shares were sold to men,
bers of the company, and each share
entities the stock holder to a lot. A
certain number of shares will be sold
aud the company will be incorporated.
The stockholders of the organization
will draw div dends.
at is the intention of those inter-
ested to build a large club house, and
later on to have some sort of amuse-
ments for the summer residents. 1t
will probably be next summer before
any cottages will be constructed, as
winter time in the North Carolina
mountains is an undesirable time to
build" r.

The Stone That Marks Gov. AycOck's
Resting Place.

II lakewood cemetery a simple mon
,'ument of beautiful granite marks the
grave of Governor Charles B. Aycock.
This is not the monument to which
North Carolina children have contri-
buted, but is the mark of the family's
love. The stone is of the handsomest
North Carolina granite, superbly pro-
portioned and tasteful in the highest
degree. !
The east side bears the words,
Charles Brantley Aycock, Governor of
North Carolina 1901-1905, born Decem-
Der 1, 1858, died April 4, 1872" On the
other side is the single word "Aycock."
In the light of the Governors great
services to the State, his gifts of ora
tory and the love in which he was
held, the usefulness of the simple
monument will be seen.-Raleigh News

A good news story originating III
the city of Spartanburg and ending
in this city took place Friday when a
young man was arrested here for beat
ing his board bill at the Hotel Finch
IN Spartanburg. The story is printed
below taken from the Herald of Sep
TENDER 9Th issue.
THE tranquil life of Hendersonville
was STIRRED to it's placid depths Thurs
a by the arrest of a man who was
accused of swindling. The whole
population turned out" to see a man
who had "beat" his hotel bill; pre-
sumably because the crime" was con-
summated in Spartanburg, where the
hotel men are wise in their generation,
and it is generally a fall guy" that
LIIls the wool over their eyes.
How He Did 1t.
1t happened thusly: A man of
PLEASING appearance and polished
address registered at the Finch hotel
here on August %. AS is generally
the custom with travellers, he had
baggage He gave his name as j. B.
Graham, of Chicago. Evidently lik-
ing the environs and the culinary Of
the hostelry, he stayed a week. Be-
ing a gregarious soul, Mr.. Graham
set up the night of Friday, August
- in the lobby of the hotel in con-
versation with J. N. Burgess, the
night clerk. He reuested Mr.. Bur-
CESS to loan him his overcOat and UNI
brella. Nh. Burgess did so. The
prosperous Mr.. Graham sans rain
Hoat. sans umbrella, failed to re-
appear. His baggage was also miss
ing and the hotel was out $23 90,
Mr.. Graham" then hied himself
10 HendersonviIle and registered at
the Kentucky Home as J. T. Willis,
where his affable manner impressed
the management and the guests. A
clerk at the Kentucky Home was in
Spartanburg Wednesday and went to
the Finch. There he described y. T.

Nh Kentucky Way.

Ollie James, the silver tongued'
oratorical senator from Kentucky, true
to the traditions of his native state, in
Inc following aerial flight tells how to
imbibe the famous mint julip in a way
that only a Kentucky statesman can:
1.-The lips should meet the rim of the
frosted cup with a caress as gentle as
the sweetheart's first kiss and while
the mug is slowly tilted the fragrance
should be absorbed i N deep inhalations
until the spirit of the beautiful lifts
the drinker to the heights so he can
look beyond the curtain of sky into
land of green fields and gorgeous flow
ers, where spring eternal mothers all
living things into restful peace"

The following from the WaXhaw
Enterprise will strike a responsive
cord, no doubt, N many newspaper
offices, for it is more often the case
that when the telephone rings it is
to hand the poor editor a basket of
Trickbats or a bouquet of lemons than
a kind WORD or a bunch of roses:
Last Friday morning as we sat in
the old Office chair musing on the
hardness of the world and it's selfish
ness, the phone bell recalled our wan
dering mind. 1t was a good lady OF
me town who was calling. And she
. called simply to say that she had en-
joyed reading The Enterprise and that
she wished to compliment our work.
We did and do thank her. How much
easier it is to work when we feel that
our labor is not altogether in vain.
This was a little thing, but all day
long the sun shone brighter and the
world looked more cheerful. The kind
word, the ~apprec'ative word, the
CHEEKY smile, are so little in them
selves and so easy to give. Then let
Is not be so stingy with them. Don't
save all the flowers for the cold clay
in the coffin but give them now while
there is life to respond. The good
word spoken after death gives forth
a hollow sound. But the word Of good
cheer and kindness spoken now gives
out it's note of sweet melody in life's
rough way to face the hard hills with
courage and faith. And the world is
roade a fit place for men and women
to live, because a kind word is spoken
in love-"

Farmers of This Section!

Beware of purchasing unguaranteed
seed oats or feed oats that are good
enough for seed" Sometimes such
seed will germinae but we frequently
find a lot in which not n seed in a
pound will come up and, not infre-
uuently, every seed is dead.
Get a written guarantee that the
pats are all right for seed and are sold
for seeding purposes, otherwise pay
only the price of feed oats and give
them to your mule.
Send us a sample of your seed oats
and seed wheat right away and let us
terminate it for you for nothing and
tell you before you SOW it just how
much of it will come up so o can
tell beforehand how much to SOW for a
good stand. There is too little profit
in the growing of small grain in this
State to take any risk of getting a poor
stand. When you send your sample Of
