French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1919-02-20

The above wire, received here yes-7
terday morning, brought the biggest
news that has come to Henderson
vile since the Southern Railway ran
its line TO the town. The branch
school and naval college of the
Georgia Military Academy will be
located at Highland Lake. An in
formal agreement has already been
made, and papers are now being |
made for the transfer of the property.
Attorneys for the school will be here
in a day or two, and Immediately !
after will come a corps of special
photographers to make pictures of
the school for the catalogue to be J
issued at once. Colonel Woodward |
states that all of the present stu |
dent body OF $50 cadets who are
willing to come will be brought here
for the last six weeks of the present
session. 1t is supposed that practi-
sally the entire corps of cadets Will
ONE this spring. Commencing with
next year this six weeks finishing at
HendersonviIle will be mandatory
for the whole student body. 1t is
not as yet known whether time will
permit operation of the naval col
lege this summer, but there is no
doubt that next fall will see a big
military college in operation. The
plans of the school authorities are
even bigger than had been supposed,
promising to rival Culver Academy
which now has $500 cadets. Owing
to legal complications the operation
of the school will commence under
lease of the property, which will be
converted into a title in fee. Hen
dersonville will be headquarters for
the school, and the word Henderson
Vile will apear in the name to be
selected, and consequently in all OF
the immense amount of advertising.
The price to be paid for the property
In $500 of which $4,000 will be
contributed by the people of Hender-
sonvilIe in the form Of outright cash
donations. The subscriptions now IN
hand amount to $9,o45 and the can
wasting committee is still hard at
work. Another one thousand dollars
is needed and will be gotten. Many
contributors are raising their first
contributions; for instance, DIR. A.
b. Drafts subscribed 500 and this
morning doubled the amount; w. H.
Ju.tus subscribed $500 and then
raised it to $500; w. p. Bane
subscribed 500 aid then doubled
IL. Some people counted on safe
" are out of town and have not
been seen. Three HendersOnvllle
husiness houses have refused to give
one penny, but il seems that there are
only three of the kind, and every one
eIse is making an effort that has
never been approached in this town
hafore. As stated, another thousand
1oIIars has got to be had, and 1t Will
h.d This week. The subscriptions
TO date are published in this issue
of the Hustler, and the list will be
,ublished again in the next issue
Read it; it is an honor roll OF those
xho are willing to pay their way IN
stead of trying to sneak by on an
other mans ticket. 1t is list oi
The real citizens of HendersonVllle
and its a list to be proud of.
