GIVE HIM THE.
FIRST CHOICE
HNEWSLOCAN

Shop first in HenGersonville!"
promises to become the popular slo-
gan here among those who believe in
a square deal and in building up their
home community.
All the HendersonvilIe merchan,
asks is that he be given first choice.
If his goods are not entirely satisfac-
tory, if his prices do not stand up
against prices in other and adjoining
cities, he says he has no kick coming.
But he thinks that he should be givn
the first choice.
He is certainly the first choice, it is
pointed out, when it comes to>solicf-
ting for church activities, for new
enterprises here, for an! charity, for
any one of the thousand and one
things that call for money. He is the
most accessible, the most considerate.
And he is the one that contributes
most of the real money that is bring
ing new enterprises to Henderson
ville-not the private citizen and his
wife. Among those here who think
about such things, and their number
is very large indeed, there is a grow
desire TO .reciprocate, to give the
home merchant the first choice and to
shop first in Hendersonville.
The shops here compare most fay
orably with those Of az y city much
larger in population. For purely
economic reasons the prices asked
are seldom higher, and almost inv&-
riably are much lower than those
charged in other Cities.
Here is an actual incident Witnessed
by a newspaper man:
Three ladies were making a Iilr-
chase in a shop on Main street. All
three were making it for ther, SEEM
ed to be a joint interest in the tr:.us-
action. One of them happened to see
a certain piece OF goods displayed or
the counter She inquired the price.
"Why, that's just what paid for en-
actly the same thing in Asheville. oDly
yesterday"
The article was examined Ivy
another ofsthe party and it seemed
that she, too, had bought tiit1s
of the goods. at the same price a'fzit in
the same city as her companion.
Perhaps, it is suggested, perhaps
they pay more-sometimes. At any
rate if these shoppers had shopped
first in Hendersonville, had given
their home merchant the ir5t choice,
there would have been few mere
: dollars left in the city for circulation,
and undoubtedly some OF these dollars
might eventually have rea ched some
charity in which these lad 'es were es-
peciaIly interested.
Shop first in Hendersonville, pub
lie spirited people here say, is essen
tial if this city is to attain it's mani
fest destiny-that of becoming the
greatest resort in the south.

CUT RIDGE TO
DRAIN LANDS.
Is new PLAN

To double the present waterpower
OF Green river and at some time to
drain thousands Of acres of land in
this county by detecting the waters of
certain streams over the Blue Ridge
mountains is the seriously proposee
plan Of HendersonvilIe men, who are
prepared to bear the cost of the pre-
liminary survey.
1t is estimated that the value of the
increased water power and the bene-
fit to the area drained would approxf-
mate ten millions of dollars.
NJ. NJ. Shepherd, one of the men in
terested, says:
The idea may be laughed at as
fool-hardy and visionary, but until the
engineers have actually passed upon
it 1 prefer to believe it is quite feast
Bile. Other ideas have been laughed
at, too, but time has brought it's vindi-
cation and the visions have become
realities
Briefly, the plan is this:
At the lowest point of the Blue
Ridge mountains g exc1vate deep
channel-possibly eighty or more feet
in depth. This would be near the
Oak Grove church. From the Edney-
vile road in the city to this channel
through the Ridge, to build a new riv-
er bed. The distance between the
two points is approximately four miles.
From this point near the Oak Grove
school house the waters of the de-
fected creeks would flow into Green
River. Less than three miles from
the Ridge there is now falls, which
when increased by the additional wat
ers Of the many DETECTED streams,
would rival the water power already
generated on Green River. The water
would continue on its course, empty
ing into the river, and would there
double the power already available, it
is said.
The streams to be DETECTED into
this new channel from the Edreyvil1e
road 70 the Ridge would be Dodging
creek, Mill creek, Mud creek, possibly
Devils Fork, and Bat Fork The area
drained would be the bottoms how ira
versed by these streams, or all that
portion Of it south Of the Edneyvil1e
road.
One Of the important developments
of the south is now taking place where
the waters OF these streams would en-
ter. They are spending a million
dollars there and at one time this, too,
was laughed at. Yet follows the story
of ne actual development on Green
river, taken from the Asheville Cit1-
zen of recent date, and the men with
this larger idea believe the time will
come when there will be story Of its
actual consumation, too.
A Great Development.

St1rtttgtt11tR:
N TIL E OLD COUNTY OF
GRnnRrHntt

MISS Spring is a fair charmer who
believes in the witchery Of many per
Iuned goWns-at least when she
comes a-Visiting to Henderson county.
For other and less desirable resorts
she attires herself with less care and
generally makes them a belated apo
hasty and altogether unsatisfactory
little visit. And you know Yourself
how pleasant and enticing the young
lady is while here-how she smiles
and smiles and often cries Just for
the joy of it all!
And her visit here is invariably q
prolonged one. Not too long, you un-
derstand, but just long enough to gel
we'll acquainted again with all the
folks here at home. And then when
she does finally leave to make the
guest chamber available for her more
robust sister, Summer, she steals
away as silently as the twilight goes
to meet the dark, say, or something
like that. And the 1rst thing YOU
know the guest OF honor is Summer
radiant and buxum and glorious
Summer.
Miss Spring delays her departure, il
is whispered among those in her con-
fdence, because there are so many in
teresting sights in Henderson county.
There are so many flowers, for in
stance, who are all in a conspiracy o.
love to keep here as long as possible.
Each flower she thinks the most
beautiful Of all until the next appears.
when she desires it the most Of all.
Just now it is the dogwCods that hoic
her heart in their IoVeliness.. Soo.l j,
will be the mountain laurel, the rhC-
Godendron, the azaleas living torch
es Of flame in a shadowy greenwood.
Gentle Miss Spring finds none Of
these companions elsewhere, you see,
so she is not to be criticised the least
little bit for remaining here so lo1g.
Why, just the other day she told the
Lonesome Pine on the top of StoDey
Mountain that there were more dir
ferent kinds Of flowers here than any
where else in ali the world. She did,
really! The Lonesome PinC, yJ!. al.
see him from almost anywhere
around Hendersonville, told hi, good
friend the Wind, who brought the
news straight here.
Certainly Miss Spring finds joy ana
brings new life and inspiration to
those who meet her here and they are
consoled at her going only b. the
knowledge that she will soon return.
The great old mountains watching
calmly the little people so ai1nless;y
busy below them regret her going too.
For it is understood there is very
definite sort of an understanding oe-
tween these green-clad and so ancient
giants and dainty, fower-bedecAe
Miss Spring. It's really more than an
understanding, you know, it's quite an
affair, and is one more very good rea-
son why the young lady fingers here
so long attires herself so becom-
ingly during her stay.

Of civilian relief for the southern divi-
sion of the Red Cross. Mr.. Dexter was
in Pensacola yesterday on the last
lap of his inspection tour through the
state.
The Pensacola chapter Red Cross has
applied for permission to take up re-
lief work among the civilian popula-
ton as part of the peace-time pro-
gram. Mr.. Dexter will make this re-
quest at southern division headquarters
in Atlanta with the prospect of ia
vorable reply.
Already the Red Cross has planned
a program of reconstruction help for
those who are in need. The organiza-
ton to be perfected would centralize
all charitable societies in Pensacola un-
der one head.
The proposed plan calls for the serv-
ices of n public health nurse, provision
for which has been promised by the
board of city commissioners in their
annual budget. The county also has
teen asked for aid.

MALLORY Line
MAY Use PORT
One OF CALL
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SER
VICE POSSIBLE AS RESULT or
BUILDING HERE OF BRUCE DRY
DOCK.

The Mallory steamship company
with freight and passenger lines will
probably make Pensacola port of call
as a direct result Of the erection here
by the Bruce Dry Dock Co.. of tho
dry dock and repair shop for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. With
the beginning Of the docks construc-
ton yesterday came the announce
new ventures other than those already
guaranteed. with the certain docking
of vessels of the u. s. shipping board,
tankers of the Texas Oil company AMI

Bros, Louisville. who do q big bust
ness through Pensacola.
Sixty days from today the enormous
plant will become a reality and by
March Is, 1920, the dock will be ready
for the biggest ships that enter this
port.
Beginning of the construction of
the dock and the wood work plant
means an immediate weekly payroll of
$4,000. Twenty-Five men were on the
job when the initial blows were struck
yesterday and by tomorrow $50 work

ways of the $450.0O0 dock has already
been started and the wood working
shop is now also in the course of con-
struction. In addition a 100000 re-
pair shop and an office building will
be put up to house machinery and en-
ployes. Lumber used in the project
has been purchased from a milling
concern at Bogalusa. La, because of
the inability of promoters to obtain
their supply here. The order was
placed in New York and material
shipped to this port from Louisiana.

Fleet Corporation and other import
ant men are in Pensacola to confer
with Secretary Tom Johnson, of the
