President Roosevelt recently re-
viewed the five years Of his adj
ministration and asserted that
enormous gains had been made
toward the goals he visioned be-
fore March 4th. 1888 The Presi-
dent insisted that these goals re-
manned unchanged and stressed
the distinction between detectives
and methods used to accomplish
them. Illustrating. he said a year
ago sterilization of price levels
was threatened by initiation,
which caused shift in direction,
but that later in the Autumn
months, there was a threatened
deflation and the course had to
be in the other direction, al

Mr.. Roosevelt referred to the
fifteen to twenty million Ameri-
cans who are without purchasing
power in connection with the
problem of farm tenancy and the
share-cropper. He felt that BUSH
ness would be better if the pur-
chasing power of this part Of our
population was sufficient to en-
able if to buy the products of in
dustry. He was proud of what has
been done TO control crop sur
pluses and thus support the pur-
chasing power of the fifty million
persons dependent directly or in
directly on agriculture On the in
dustrial side of the picture. he ex-
planned, the Administration had
sponsored measures to hold UP
the earnings of both the owners
and workers of corporations He
felt that before long. more bust
ness men would voice approval OF
these detectives. Pointedly. he de-
clared the Administration was as
determined as ever to put an end
to special privilege" which
would be good for the entire
country. for stocks and bonds and
everything else

Electric Energy First In
troduced Here by
Robt. M. Oates

Lighting and power facilities IN
Henderson county have evolved
in 90 years from kerosene lamps
in the homes and on street cor
ners to the unlimited supply OF
electric energy supplied by the
Duke Power Co.
Through almost one-thlrd OF
this period, o. A. Meyer, manager
of Duke Power Co, and W. b..
Bangs, superintendent of CON
struction and maintenance, have
watched and materially aided this
development.
The city and county got along
as best they could with light and
power produced by oil and steam
until 1902 when the late Robert
NJ. Oates built a 35-horsepower
steam plant, consisting of an en-
CINE and boiler, at Seventh ave
nue. and Main street. The Hen
Jacksonville Light and Power COM
pany, with Mr.. Oates as its head,
was organized in 1904. Hender.
sonville then had a population OF
1000. This company built a II
foot dam on Big Hungry Creek,
eight miles east of the city, at the
present site of No. hydro plant
of the Duke Power Co. In 1908
this plant was supplemented by a
steam plant on the east side OF
! the Southern Railway at Fourth
avenue. The plant at the site Of
the l2-foot dam was washed away
in 1910, and was rebuilt 1880
feet downstream, the dam being

village aforesaid on Saturday.
November 20, 1852, for the pur-
pose of organizing a Presbyterian
church. Rev. NJ. G. Allen, acting
under commission from the board
of domestic missions of the Pres
byterian church, in pursuance Of
recommendation Of the Presby-
terry of Concord, presided and Of
ficiated on the occasion. The fol-
lowing individuals presented GER
tificates of good and regular
standing as members of their re-
spective churches"
1t will not be necessary to give
the list of names, but several were
received from the Free Church
of Scotland, and one man was eX-
amined on the "evidences of en-
detrimental religion" Not knowing
just what experimental religion"
could be, | asked one of our lead
ers and he said it was religion
from your own experiences.
Mr.. Alfred Fuller was elected
the hrSt elder.
The first church was built in
1859 by Mr.. H. G. Farmer.
AS has been mentioned before,
HenderSonville was on the main
highway between Greenville, S.
c., and Asheville, and conse-
quently on mail route. My faith
er, a Mr.. Poole and a Mr.. Chunn
owned and operated this line from
Greeneville, Tenn, to Greenville,
S. c., afterwards Ripley, Rutledge
and Poole. | still have in my pos
session one of the old way books
containing receipts to various peo-
pie for corn, hay and other prov
ender for horses. At the same
time my father and John R. Stock
ton of Virginia, operated the mail
route from Washington, d. c., to
Pensacola, Fla. All mail was cal
ried in stages drawn by four or
six horses. Immediately following
the War Between the States, the
route was changed from Morris
town, Tenn, to Greenville. The
stopping places for meals and
horses were at Lanes for break
fast, now Mountain Home; dinner
lat Davis; and supper at Gar
many's.
There were some famous driv-
| ers in those days, particularly two

men by the name Of Sumner and
two Duncans. If ever man could
get music out of tin horn that
man was John Duncan. AS a child
of four or five / remember hold
ing my fathers hand and going
down to the first bridge on the
Flat Rock road to meet the stage
when we heard John Duncan's
horn in the distance. We received
mail three times week and not
so often if the river and creeks
were up. Somehow we managed
to get along and thought our
selves quite comfortable.
Colonel Valentine Ripley, a ma
tive of Rockbridge county, Va,
came to this section in the thir-
ties, settling first in Asheville,
where he married Miss Ruth
Smith, daughter of James Smith,
who was the first white child born
west Of the Blue Ridge in North
Carolina. Shortly afterward Hen
derSon county was cut off from
Buncombe, and because of inter-
est in the mail route Colonel Rip
ley came here to live. He had
large landed interests, owning
thousands Of acres in the county.
No citizen was ever more inter
ested in the progress and deVel-
opment of this section. After the
War Retween the States Colonel
Ripley formed a partnership with
Captain M. C. Toms in the mer-
camille business. He was too much
lover of the out of doors and
fine horses to like the contine-
ment of that life, and while he
carefully attended to the business
the practical management was
left largely in the capable hands
of Captain Toms. One of the
greatest ambitions Of his life was
railroad for Hendersonville, and
for years he spent time and mon
ey for this accomplishment, living
to see his dream realized about
four months before his death in
1879. There could be no finer trib-
ute to his memory than this quo
tation from his obituary: "The
memory of the just is blessed. No
man ever suffered wrong
through an act of V. Ripley"
Captain Toms was born in Bun

raised six feet. Operations were
resumed in 1911. Four years later
the present No. 2 hydro plant
was built 1000 feet below No. !
plant, and the dam at No. was
raised to go feet.
The Home Electric Co., with
Mr.. Oates continuing at the head,
was organized in 1919. The Blue
Ridge Power company entered
the city in 1928, and on June 20,
1925, took over the Home Elec-
trio Co. On June l, 1925, the
Blue Ridge Power company was
absorbed by the Broad River
Power company, which gave way
to the Southern Public Utilities
company in July, 1927, and to
the present company, the Duke
Power Co., a few years ago.
The advent of the Duke Power
interests not only meant an un-
limited supply of light and power
for public and private use. but
guaranteed schedule of rates as
low as those enjoyed in the larg-
est cities of North and South
Carolina. The Duke company,
through its program of expansion
and its advertising in nationally
circulated publications, has at
tracted scores of factories to the
Carolinas and has been instru-
mental in building up the agri-
cultural and other industries.
Mr.. Meyer, the manager of
the local office and system, came
to Hendersonville in 1917 after
having been in the engineering
and accounting departments of
the Southern Power company in
Charlotte. His first major task
here was the building of hydro
plants on Green River for the
Rlue RIDGE Power company,
