YOUNG MAN DROWNED
in LAUREL PARK LAKE

Knocked senseless from the effects
OF a blow sustained while attempting
to jump into a boat on Lake Rhododen-
dron last Thursday, Cletus Justus.
eighteen years old. son of Robert JUS
tus of this city, fell into water over 20
feet deep and was drowned.
The body was recovered about one
hour and half later. Aid was sum-
moned from the city about 1880 ana
a crowd quickly gathered on the dam
near where the unfortunate young man
was last seen to, go under by his com
panions who were on the opposite
side of the lake.
butler Bradley, a young cousin Of
the deceased, was with him just before
he fell into the lake and later tried to
hand him an oar to hold on by but
young Justus made no attempt to
grasp the oar, and in few seconds
disappeared to the bottom of lake.
Under the able direction of Superin-
tendent Bangs of the HendersonviIIe.
Light and Power company ropes and
barbed wires were put together with
weights and the lake was dragged.
Those assisting Mr.. Bangs were
Messrs. Meyer, Anders, Wright, Tip
ton. The body was recovered the firsk
drag. DR.. Guy 3. Dixon, who was en-
the scene, made every effort to restore
life, but the body had remained under
water too long.
This is the first life lost in Lake
Rhododendron, the newest lake at
Laurel Park, and this death marks the
last lake in this county to claim it's
victim. All the other lakes here have
had one or more persons to drown In
its waters.

S4OO Made From an Old TWo-acre
Orchard.


A contributor to the current issue OF
Farm and Fireside writes in part ass
follows about his experience with q
two-acre orchard:
About ten years ago I bought ,
small place on which there was about
two acres ofeold orchard. The trees
were neglected and untrimmed, and
where some had died or had hlown
down the ground had been left vacant,
and the orchard had been unpIowed
for years. The season before bought
it, it did not produce enough fruit to
pay to gather.
'Neighbors said it would never pay
to bother with. The only thing to do.
in fact, was to cut it down. Now !
reasoned that it took a long time TO
grow an orchard, and / was getting
older every year, so decided to exper-
iment with it for a time at least.
Beginning about the first Of March,
gave it a very thorough and scieRtk-
fic trimming. say scientific In thaa
/ tried to trim according to the rules
laid down by successful fruit growers
in our latitude. This is important for
ignorant trimming of an orchard is like
1y to do more harm than good, and the
trimming of an orchard does not mean
necessarily cutting the orchard all to,
pieces.
did not put any manure on the or
chard, as / did not believe it Was
needed. Early in the spring / pIoWed
1T deep and hired man to spade
around the trees where the plow could
not go. then narrowed it down very
thoroughly.
81 did not put any crop on the orch
ard that season. Instead narrowed
it at periods keeping it cultivated all
summer.
Il sprayed three times, the first
time in March: which was the most.
thorough one of all The trunks as
well as all the limbs were saturated
/ sprayed again in May Just as the bIos-
SONS began to fan, and again about
the middle of August.
"I did not thin at all; it did not need
il. There were about eighty trees In
all, and / picked IT'S barrels of COED
apples, for which got $1.S5 per bar.
rel I also sold enough culls and cf-
der stock to bring the total receipts Of
that old orchard to over $500.

Question: What compensation
are the defendants entitled to
recover for the condemnation
by the plaintiff of their property
at location No. 8, as set out IN
the petition?
Answer: $500.
The above are the questions sub
mitted to the jury, and the an-
swers thereto rendered by the jury,
in the consolidated power cases
which were fiercely contested in
the Superior Court last week.
There were a good many questions
involved but the four above mem
toned were the only ones which
were submitted to- the jury. And
the answers even to these ques-
tions are not final. A motion has
already beer made to have the
court set aside one of the answers.
And am appeal can, and in all
probability will, be taken from
Judge Lyons findings and rulings
to the Supreme court And the
Supreme court may order a new
trial. And in that event the whole
fight will begin over again.
The words defendant company"
as used in the above questions, re-
fer to the Hendersonville Light
and Power Company, and the word
plaintiff" refers to, the Blue Ridge
lnterurban Railway company. But
really there were two suits heard
together; and the plaintiff in one
Was the defendant in the other.
One suit was the Blue Ridge In-
terurban Railway company VS.. r.
NJ. Oates, the Hendersonville Light
and Power company and the A
merican Trust Company. This was
petition to have certain lands
condemned. The other suit was R.
NJ Oates and the Hendersonville
Light and Power company VS. the
Blue Ridge Interurban Railway
company. This was a petition for
an injunction restraining the Blue
Ridge Interurban Railway Cor from
Proceeding with the conemnation.
II had been agreed that the two
suits should be consolidated and
neard at the recent term of the
henderson County Superior Court.
The suits were heard. They
We're argued at length. A week
was devoted to the hearing. But
mo final disposition was made. "A
number of questions were tenta-
tlFely answered by Judge Lyon
tentatively, not finally. Four
questions, as above mentioned,
were submitted to, and at the last
moment answered by, the jury. A
