TOWNSHIP TAX
RATE HERE in
1857 WAS Sl.}5
Land Was Valued at Aver
age of Less Than
81 and Acre

The tax rate in Hendersonville
township so years ago was Sl.35
and valuations totaled probably
less than a million dollars for
the entire county. Sheep were
listed at 81 each, dogs, hogs, and
goats were evaluated at less than
one dollar, and land valuations av-
eraged less than two dollars an
acre.
The Hendersonville Times, in
its edition of August 80, 1887, a
copy of which is owned by Mrs.
c. Few, gave the taxable property
for some of the townships, and
promised to complete the list in
its next edition, which unfortu-
nately is not available. At that
time The Times was published by
James D. Davis and brothers.
Valuations for Hendersonville,
Mills River, Hoopers Greek, Ed
NEVILLE, Blue Ridge and Crab
Creek townships were listed in a
table given in the edition.
The valuation of HenderSonville
township was placed at 100000,
at rate of $1.35, and S752 was
collected from poll taxes at So
each.
The valuation of Mills River
was placed at S4,228.71, while
O53O was collected from poll tax
e.s Hoopers Creek valuation was
placed at $2,707.50. and 1914 was
| collected from the poll tax.
For the other townships an
, itemized statement of taxable
wealth was given, and it is inter
, esting to note that in Edneyville
three town lots were listed at a
total of 1910; nine goats and dogs
were valued at So; 527 sheep at
S443; and that the money or
hand totaled 1927. The totaI

In Blue Ridge township, nine
goats and dogs were valued at 81
each; 651 sheep were valued at 81

was placed at S7S,373.
In Crab Greek township, 655
hogs were valued at $639, anr
748 sheep were listed at 81 each
Money on hand amounted to $615
and the total valuation was plac
ed at $74,243.
The total valuation of thes,
townships, now the largest anr
most valuable in the county, wa

Ewart's Hill For
Many Years Was
A Vantage Site

A large house at what is now
known as Temple Terrace was
originally known as Dun Craggin,
and was built by H. G. Ewart, for
years a prominent citizen of Hen.
Jacksonville, a leading member or
the bar, and once judge of the
United States court for the west
ern district Of North Carolina.
(The house is not to be confused
with the present summer inn OF
the same name.)
H. G.. Ewart became a citizen
of Hendersonville during the War
Between the States, when his
mother, Mrs. Mary Ewart of Co
lumbia, married Col. V. Ripley,
who was then operating the stage
coach line from Greenville, S. c.,
and proprietor of the popular Rip
ley hotel. A few years after COM
ing to the town, Mr.. Ewart pur-
chased the property commonly
known as Ewart's Hill, and erect
ed his home on its summit. The
place, called Dun Craggin, was
for many years vantage site
from which visitors obtained a
sweeping view of the surrounding
country and distant mountains.
About 1885, Mr.. Ewart, who
was a great lover of sports, built
dam across the little stream at
the foot of his hill, stocked the
pond with the fisherman's favorite
of those days, carp, and planted
there the almost unknown flow
err, Nymphaea, or water lily, which
still flourishes there. Though
there is nothing there now tc
show it, just above the fish ponc
there was a grist mill which wa:
operated by power from another
pond which was damned there.
H. G.. Ewart was elected to con
gress in 1887 and again in 1889
