sHERITT J. G. DRAKE.

j. C. Drake, sheriff of Henderson county,
was born in Madison county in December
1867. His father, j. B. Drake, who had
formerly been a resident Of Hndrson,
settled in Madison at the close Of the civil
war, and married Miss Brigham, a daughter
Of Sheriff Brigham of Madison. In 1878, j.
B. Drake returned to Henderson and has
lived here ever since.
TIL future sheriff received his education
in the public school at Willow. Among his
tachers were A. F. P. King, (now chairman
o fthe trustees of the Hendersonville graded
schoOD, Harvey Stepp, Y. D. Moore, Rev. W.
A. Morris and Rev. j. j. Gray.
At the age of g, J. G. Drake was appoint
ed deputy sheriff under T. c. Israel. Two
years later,-in 1892,-he was elected coun-
ty surveyor, and In 1894 was reelected. In
1906 he was again nominated for county sur
veyor and was elected b ythe largest major
ity which had ever been cast for any county
candidate. In 1908 he was reelected. In
1910 he was q candidate for the Republican
nomination for sheriff; but A. d. Blackwell
who was just finishing his first term as
sheriff, was re-nominated; and Mr.. Drake,
for the fifth time, received the position Of
county surveyor. The vote, was 1897 to 0.
In 1912 the Republicans of the county
held q primary, instead Of a convention, for
the nomination of county officers. LIN the
first primary none Of the candidates for
sheriff received a majority of the votes cast;

The White Pine
CreamerieS--and
the Delicacy
They Make

The White Pine Creameries, Of Asheville,
is one of the institutions Of Western North
Carolina, and one Of which Western North
Carolina is entirely proud
The White Pine Creameries has , station
In Hendersonyille where the product Of
hundreds of Henderson county eOntented
COWS Is received.
At the mammoth Ashevile plant, which In
cludes departments devoted TO cold storage,
ice making, butter making, etc, there is also
one department devoted exclusively to the
making of ice cream-delieiouS ice cream,
too, believe mel
The equipment used solely for the purpose
of making this delicaey cost in the neighbOr-
hood of $50,OOOGand more-and it repre-
sents the last word In the best methods Of
manufacturing, under ideal sanitary SUP
~roundings, the frozen CONNECTION which
tempts the pennies from the pockets Of the
small boy and the dollars from the purse of
the millionaire.
The capacity of this plant is 1000 gallons
o day-and the White Pine Creameries,
which handles the output of 1,5OO cows, has
the cream to make this vast quantity of
sweet GOODNESS
As indicating the enormous demand for
this famous pure ice cream it is interesting
to note that 100 gallons are shipped to South
Carolina each day.
OF course, this just goes to show that when
South Carolinians are unable to come to Wes-
tern North Carolina they insist upon the best
products of Western North Carolina being
taken to them.
But seriously, the purity of ice cream is
really an important thing to consider dur
ing these days of food adulteratiOn and Of
evasion of the National sO-called pure food
laws.
The average American family consumes
enormous quantities of ice cream.
Itis important that they investigate the
conditions under which this article of food
is being manufactured. If they want a real
ly frst-class article, produced under strictly
sanitary conditions, by the most appIbved
machinery, and made of CREAM, they will
be well satisfied with the White Pines Cream
cries eream-for it would seem almost inn
possible to make a better.

LEE HART, OF sALUDA.

Lee Hart-or more properly Mr. j. L..
Hart, Of Saluda-is first of all postmaster of
that thriving summer resort, and then, right
along after that, he is about the most popu-
Lar man In that section Of the country.
To say that Lee Hart is popular doesn' t
begin to tell the true facts in the case. He's
everybod's friend and he is only completely
and Fundamentally happy when he is serv-
ing the public In some way or other.
Mr.. Hart is one of the substantial bust
ness men Of Saluda. He enjoys the respect,
the esteem, the confidence of the entire com
nunity, and deservedly so.
Any one interested in Saluda, in anyway, in
buying real estate or renting a house or
anything else you may think Of will make
no mistake if they write J.. L. Hart, Postmas-

Mr. ]. A. Rusher,
Good Citizen

Nj j. a Rushe-quiet, s~eIf-eontained but
as plum fun Of energy and g-o-aheadness as
a full charged electric wireI- A Rusher is
one of these men every live community wei
comes and counts as one of its assets.
Mr. A Ruahef came here from Salisbury
a little while back. He stepped of the rail-
road train &C the Southern passenger depot,
looked around twice and then started in, as
you might say, to do things.
We said that Mr.. Rusher came here from
Salisbury.
It might pay the Greater Hendersonville
club to operate a free excursion from Sails
bury to this town In order that the folks Mr..
Rusher left behind might see for themselves
what he is actually doing here.
It's the one safe bet that the aforesaid ex-
cursion train would return to Salisbury
empty.
this town and county where he has wisely
invested good capital and it is whispered
that he is entirely satisfied with his invest
ments.
One thing Mr.. Ru5her has done is to grow
more corn to the acre, that is without the aid
of commercial fertilizer, than any other man
who ever farmed in Henderson county.
He bought that long stretch of bottom land
In the Flat Rock Drive, just beyond the Bre-
ward tracks, and the amount of corn he har-
vested from that tract last year was a scan
dial and a shame-So to speak.
Mr.. Rusher's big dairy barns face this fine
piece of bottom and his herd of well-bred
cattle Craze quietly in adjoining fields. He
is the owner of considerable real estate here
both city and country. One of his most
recent purchases is a 400 acre tract of noun
tain land, In connection with which he has
certain stock raising plans which will work
out successfully. He has town business in
terests as well.
For that is the way Mr.. Rusher always
works out his plans-successfulIy.
Nr. Rusher has a delightful home here. It
is needless to say that the community re-
spects him. He is the kind Of a citizen that
any community welcomes heartily and Sails
bury is the poorer, Hendersonville Is the
richer that Mr.. j. A. Rusher's home is her.

Mr.. D. s. PACE.

The opportunities which Hendersonville
affords to alert and enterprising business
men are well illustrated by the career of D.
S. Pace.
The commanding and assured position
which Mr.. Pace now holds In local business
circles has been won by his own f~ar-Sighted
judgment and continuous effort, without the
aid of any working capital at the start. Be
ginning at the bottom of the ladder, he has
steadily risen without any backing or re-
sources other than his own intelligence and
enterprise. He has risen by seizing the OPP
portunities which the growth of the, COM
munity afforded; and he has not only profit
has taken his full share in creating and pro-
noting that growth
One of the assets of this section is its for
est products; and Mr. Pace has promoted,
while he profited by, the development Of this
industry. Another and even more important
asset is the fact hat this section is an ideal
place to live,-that those whose energies have
begun to flag under the strain of the fierce
struggle for life IN d~ebilitating climates may
here find renewed health and strength. This
is the fact underlying our marvellous real es-
tate development; and with characteristic
energy Mr.. Pace entered the arena as a bold
and progressive, and at the anne time a con-
sentative, real estate developer. Among his
recent achievements is the establishment of
the Tuxedo Club.
But Mr.. PAGES standing In the community
is based on something more than a record of
business success. His personal character has
Vol for him the high esteem of his fellow
citizens and an enviable reputation as a
Christian gentleman. He is an untiring
Church worker. He was one of the found
ers of the East HendersonviIe Baptist church
and has contributed largely in money and
effort to the upbuilding of that body. He
believes Ia civic reform; and he believes
further that the only reform which is worth
while Is that which starts with moral reform.

Water.

The city Of HendersonviIle is fortunate
in its water supply-of crystal purity and
icy GOODNESS.
The reservoir is fed by mountain springs
originating far above human habitation. Be-
fore passing into the distributing pipes it
passes through a modern fltering plant and
finally reaches the consumer just pure water
one of the rarest things IN the world.

A Mountain Indust-
n The Home of
Mr. w. p Bane.

Mr.. w P. Bane.
You talk about mountain naustriesl Just
about absolutely the Last place On earh you
would expect to find : reaiIy important In
dustryy is ON that fine property Of If. W.P.
Bane. the well known contractor and-and-
well, other things too. such as recent chair
man of the board of county commissioners,
etc. etc.
M. Bane's place is right ia the very heart
of picturesque old Flat Rock, looking down
upon such estates as Nj Frank 3. Haynes,
the late Mr.. b. DeLasy Vincent, Pied
mont, the home of Dr.. Middleton, and SO on
great, magnificent estates which for sheer
beauty are unsurpassed anywhere
The view from Mr.. Bane's pretty home,
perched high ON a commanding elevation and
and reached easily by a wen graded road,
is almost a startling one-and widely travel
ed folks have said they know of o simi-
lar. To attempt to describe the picture
would be futile-it most surely was painted
by the Almighty and left completed that man
might know On earth some of the beauties re-
served for him In the skies, And its a mod
ern home, too. Every convenience, such as
electric lights is there-but all that is subor
dinate to the sheer beauty of the picture ever
before the occupants of this mountain home.
The power which generates the electric
current. is also used In the working of a
quarry at the foot of the hill upon which Mr..
Bane's home rests.
This quarry, and the workshops connected
with it, Is probably unique-and to find such
a complete enterprise In the mountains is
simply surprising.
The very fine rock of this quarry, which,
by the way, is used in the construction Of
the new Carnegie Library In Hendersonville
being built by Mr.. Bane, is gotten out by
drills operated by compressed air. The rock

and one which some day will be fttingly de-

call attention to these interesting facts:
Mr.. Bane has taken a wildly beautiful
piece of land, but at one time waste land.
On just The right spot he has built a home
that commands a mountain view to match
which people travel to Switzerland.
He has harnessed the waters of a mountain
torrent, uses their energy to highly prOGta-
BILE advantage, and IN a place once deserted
has created an industry worth going miles
to see.
