THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

No corporation suffered during the
recent flood as did the Southern Rail-
way company and particularly did they
suffer in Henderson county. Hundreds
of men have beer working night and
day to open up the railroad to the
south where thousands OF people were
waiting to travel in the mountains.
To those who really know anything
about construction work it was re-
markable the way the washouts were
repaired by the working crews. 1t is
stated by a man of authority that the
repair work is being made even more
substantial than before the flood. The
road up the mountain is being put
into excellent condition.
The heavy traffic both in passengers
and freight is working the railroad to
its fullest capacity. 1t is not a rare
sight to see double headers pass Hen
Jacksonville now when they use to stop
at Saluda On this division.

NEED OF DEMONSTRATION,

Had Henderson county a farm dem
onstrator after the July floods there
is Nc doubt but that the farmers would
have saved thousands of dollars.
The Hustler has. maintained all the
time that the county cannot we'll do
without a county farm demonstration.
It was nothing less than a calamity
when the county commissioners failed
to see the wisdom in supporting \
government agent here, and now thai
such a misfortune has been sustained
by the farmers Of the county, especial
~ those ~cultivating valley lands there
could never be a greater need for an
expert on farming in the county.
In Rutherford. Polk and other wide
awake counties the farm demonstra-
tors are busy, working overtime dis
tributing seeds and rendering invalua-
bic advice to the flood stricken farm
ers. In Rutherford county alone the
demonstration distributed 5000 pounds
of beans, turnips, buckwheat and mil
lett seeds.
The commissioners could save thn
county thousands upon thousands of
dollars, if they wanted to. Write them
a letter-see them in person or attend
the next meeting and demand a farm
demonstration.

4 RAG RUG RACE.

A novel entertainment was given in
Flat Rock for the benefit of the Hen
Jacksonville hospital-also for the fun
of it.
A number Of ladies, in groups or
three, raced against each other to win
prizes. one for the prettiest. n for
the biggest, and one for most original
a rug that could be crOcheted in two
n a half hours. Ginghams and cot
tons of various weaves and every gay
color, including the gayest of all, white
and black-were distributed in mystic
rious bundles. In each group two peo-
pie cut and sewed together the endless
strips, while one champion of the hook
crocheted for all she was worth. :
Among the ladies were various men
who cut strips so recklessly that it
was a wonder no fingers were SnaDt
off. There was a thrilling momepEs
when time was called, and the rugs
were spread together on the floor, and
the eager ring Of contestants swarmed
around them. Some were were round,
some long. some heXagonal, and some
were sombre, some bright. some deli
cate pastel shades, some gorgeous
futurist frenzies.
Then again the men were useful.
They awarded the prizes, and then
auctioned Off the rugs to the eager
bidders. Ali the proceeds of the auc-
ton were given to the hospital: and
the party was such a success that the
workers are ready to try it over again.

ALTA PASS HOLDS RECORD.
Has Heaviest Rainfall for "a Hours
of Any Section Of the United
States. d,

Rainfall of 22.22 inches at Alta p
in Mitchell county for "a, hours pre-
ceding 2 p. m. July 16 is believed to
have established a new record for the
United States according to Lee A. Den
son, of Raleigh, section director of the
weather bureau, who has completed
his report on the flood in this state last
month. Mr.. benson said as far as he
knew Alexandria,, La, had led the
country with 21.4 inches in a similar
period. Mitchell county in the west
ern part of the state vas hard hit and
at Alta Pass.
Weather bureau officials in Wash
ington confirmed the Alta Pass rain
fall as the record. The greatest rain
fall in any "a hours previous to the
July storm was that at Alexandria, La,
in June, 1880, when 21.6 inches fell.

EXTEND THE SEASON.

If every man, woman and child IN
Hendersonville will lend an effort in
promoting the extension of the season
here there is no doubt in our mind but
that hundreds of peope will be induced
to remain here several weeks longer
than they first intended.
The summer season ordinarily has
been entirely too short. We have tried
hard to begin the season sooner. In
this we rave gained a little, but the
most important point now is to ex-
tend the season. Make September
October and November the best
months in the history of Henderson
vile.
A prominent Florida man said the
other day that Hendersonville should
be the leading stopping over place for
the rich winter tourists who go to
Florida after Christmas. There is no use
arguing that we are not prepared to
handle this travel. We have fine ho-
tells, steam heated. We have enter
tainment, climate and everything es-
sential for their pleasure.
Hendersonville people need to wake
up. Get OF the job and work now
now while the people are among us to-
wards making this the greatest win
ter resort in Western North Carolina.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR
FIRE AT NMAN, S. G..

Fire, supposed to have been caused
by a defective flue, at Inman, S. c.,
early Sunday morning, destroyed. pro-
perty. with a valuation estimated at
$1,000. With the help of five members
of the S~partanburg Fire department,
volunteer fire fighters prevented a Sc
riOus conf1agratiOn. The flames start
ed in a pressing club, in a building
owned by E. P. Clark, of Campobello.
Several other buildings were damaged
to some extent, and as the fire was on
Main street, for a time the whole bus
mess section Of Inman was threatened.
Little Or no insurance was carried on
any Of the property damaged.
The fire was discovered about $3.50
Sunday morning and it began to
spread rapidly. A call was sent to
Spartanburg and Assistant Chief Hunt
singer, J. w. Elder R. o. Cannon, F.
F.. Kerr and W. J. Warlick of the local
fire department rushed to the relief in
an automobile. They carried some
chemical equipment and the fire was
gotten under control in about an hour
and a half. Water from neighboring
wells was used to fight the flames with.
Three or four buildings were totally
destroyed by the fire and several 9TH
ers were damaged tO9a more or less
degree. On account of the fact that
practically all the buildings situated
near the starting point of the fire were
frame buildings there was little to
check the advance of the fire except
the efforts Of the fghters.-Spartan-
burg Herald.

PREPARE FOR TURNIPs NOW.

You should select a rich plat of
ground for your turnip patch and
break nOw-not being afraid of getting
too deep. Much of the turnip is wa
ter, and if the ground is not we'll brok-
en-, SO it will be able to hold moisture
your turnip crop will suffer accord
ingly.
No matter how rich the land you
select. it will need a liberal applica-
ton of MANURE Place this manure on
the land before breaking and it will
give the best results. After your ma
nure has been turned under the land
will need frequent workings-at least
after each rain-until time to SOW the
seed. l always prefer to work the land
into good condition as Don as it has
been broken, and then to give it a
light narrowing after each rain. This
narrowing c~onserves the moisture and
supplies the water that is needed by
the turnips.
AS to the time of seeding, many peo-.
PIE differ. AS for myself I always
prefer to SOW the seed the latter part OF
August Or the first of September-and
at least not later than the middle OF
September for fall turnipS. The seed
may be covered by brushing in" "a
method which IS familiar to most read
ers), or they may be put in with a
Weeder. In any case the implement
used should be exceedingly light. as
seed covered deeply vii not have vital
ity enough to push to the surface of
the ground.-P. T. H, in The Progress
sive Farmer.

THE PASSING OF .KANUGA LAKE.

But yesterday Kanuga lay,
All smiling insthe Wales embrace; :
Her buoyant soul is fed today,
And gloom funeral haunts the place.
Enraptured, once the verdant hills
Close held her in, caressing arms;
But came the ruthless foe that kills,
And, 10 are gone her myriad charms.
Farewell acknowledgements
Thy graceful curves the waves will
~ hold
That fondly kissed thy sylvan shore,
And gently by the meadows rolled. :
Never again the summer moon
Will glimpse her splendor in thy face,
The while thy g~reen-Coat tenants Groom
Wierd lullabiep in cultural bass.
No more the hues Of Pinnacle
Will tinge the deeps within thy,
breast,
Nor lovers lips their secrets tell.
In boats that drift on oars that rest.
No more the heron's snowy fight
Will startle in thine opal food j."
The painted trout, Or sOrely fright
The wriggling d%enizens Of the mud.
Gone are swimmers from thy shore,
And all the a of Naiads fair,
Whose witching forms shall cleave no
more
Thy waves, their amorous arms to
dare.
The campers of the Hastoc tribe -
Eugubrious gaze thy borders DER.
And powers of earth and heaven would
bride
Thine erstwhile glory to restore.
But. ali! Kanuga, in the shrine
Of memory still thy charms abide;
In dreams l see thy bosom shine,
And float upon thy silvery tide.
Yet in some blest tomorrow may
Thy happy resurrection be,
And all forgotten this sad day
Amid delights that wait for thee.

HIGH COST OF PAPER.

Last but not least is the tremen-
Gus rise in the cost Of paper. Newspa-
pers all over the country are makina
desperate efforts in an economical
saving of waste paper. The big mills
claim that there is a shortage of raw
materials, on account Of the heavy de-
mands since the war.
Whether or not this is the true state
of affairs wo do not know; but one
thing is certain and that is that plain
newspaper which we use to buy. at two
dollars and forty cents per one hun
dred pounds is now selling for five
dollars and fifty cents per one hun
dred pounds. There are two things
almost absolutely necessary for the
average weekly newspaper to do in Or

increase their rates for ADVERTISING
and subscriptions.
