ROWING GRIND AT :,
YALE CONTINUES

New York, Feb. 16-With the ar
rival of Coach Guy Nickalls, rowing
practice at Yale has settled down to
Il steady round of work on the indoor
apparatus and both Nickalls and
Giannini report that the progress Of
the candidates is satisfactory. Every
effort will be made to get the oarsmen
on the water as early as possible in
order that the new stroke being
evolved may be taught under the most
favorable conditions.
In connection with the change in
the Yale rowing situation it is inter-
esting to note that during the past
fifteen years there have been five
coaches in this line of varsity sport.
Previous 10 1900 the coaching was
largely in the hands of different grad
yates. There was no one man for
head coach. and for several years the
crew system did not have the thor
ough organization it has today
This year Richard Armstrong, 's5.
is in charge. Guy Meals. the former
Oxford university oarsman, however,
will undoubtedly make his personal
ity felt to a greater extent than either
the head coach or Eugene Giannini,
Although Nickalls is close to fifty
years Of age he is coach of tre-
mendous personality and physical and
mental activity.

.EBAT CAVE RUMBL1NGs+

We have with us and have had for
the past week, a company Of the Lubin
Moving Picture actors and actresses.
They are doing work all over our
beautiful country, and just the things
they want for the five reel picture
they are finishing. They first got the
winter scenes in Michigan and now
they are getting spring scenes, down
here around Chimney Rock, where
the wild flowers are blooming and
have been in bloom some time. The
play. TThe Wolf" is supposed to be
one of the best when finished and
consists of the best playing that can
be done, having one of the best di-
rectors in the country.
Esmeralda Inn is "full-up." Be-
sides the picture people they have
others. Mr.. Allen Flint is spending
his vacation at Esmeralda, where he
has been coming before from Detroit,
Mich. Mt. View Inn has a few guests
now and it isn't a great while we ex-
pect more tourists than eve before.
Preparations are being made, both
right and left.
Accommodations for cold drinks, ice
cream, etc., won't be forgotten. Mr..
J.. w. Edney is building 2 cold drink
stand on River Side, and the Freeman
Eros, in Bat Cave, right in the heart
of the traffic and travel. .
Mr.. J.. C. NJ. Valentine made a flying
trip to Hendersonville first of the
week on business.
Mr.. J.. B. Freeman is home from
Florida, where he spent a very enjoy
able winter.
The long looked for singing at Bear
Wa1low church was a great success
last Sunday. It's calculated there
were at least eight hundred people.
AS usual, the dinner was plentiful.
and good order was noticed by all.
Mr.. A. E. Hudgins is making all
preparations to build a dancing pavil-
ion for the coming season. AS Mr..
FTudgins has good taste we feel sure
iG will be something te-be proud of il

METHODIsr YEAR BOOK FOR 1914,

The Year Book Of the Methodist
episcopal church gives 1878 as the
total membership for 1913. This is
regarded as a very satisfactory show
ing. The total membership OF the
Methodist Episcopal church is s,757.-
sos. Almost 100000 Southern Meth
odists, with other Methodist bodies in
the United States send the grand total
in the nation well beyond the 100000
mark. One hundred years ago there
were only 211,12e Methodists in the
United States.
These figures show a remarkable
growth of Wes1eyanism during the last
csntury.-N. c. Christian Advocate.

COUNTY SAND DREpGE ERECTED
AND ROAD WORK PROGRESSING.
Convict Force Moved From ShaW's
Creek to Saluda Link of INTEL
state Highway.

Under the direction of Road Super
visor P. F. Patton the county chain
gang was moved from the Shaws creek
road to the new road between East
Fiat Rock and Saluda, which forms an
important link in the Asheville-Spar-
tanburg highway.
The convict force consists of twenty
seven persons. Their work will be
supplemented by day laborers in or
der to complete the highway in time
for summer travel.
Mr.. Patton states that the Shaws
creek road has been completed to the
iron bridge above Horse Shoe and will
be finished without continued delay.
The sand dredge ordered several
weeks ago for Mud Creek has arrived
anG will be operated the latter part of
this week. 1t was constructed by
special order so as to be adapted to
local conditions. The sand will be
taken from the creek near the Edney-
vile road and dropped into wagons.
Other road forces are at work on
various county highways and several
miles of grading have been done since
the work began about the first of the
year.
