The Misses Champion's School for Girls was opened in January, 1886, and has been successful from its beginning, owing to the refined culture and surroundings, and thorough instruction.

The Ravenscroft High School for Boys was established in 1850, and commands a good patronage.


There is probably no school in the State more useful than the Home Industrial for Girls. This school was given by Dr. L. M. Pease, in 1887, to the Woman's Executive Committee of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions. The property was then valued at $40,000. The name of the school indicates the character of its work, which is very thorough. The amount of good that the school has already accomplished

is incalculable. Miss Florence Stephenson is its efficient manager. Dr. Pease is well known as the founder of the Fire Points Mission in New York. He is correctly regarded as the apostle of industrial educa- tion in Western North Carolina. His self-denying and godly life, his splendid liberality, his single-hearted devotion to the good of his fellow- men, his grand character, should immortalize him in the hearts of the people among whom he has lived and labored for many years.


The Normal and Collegiate Institute, though separate from the Indus- trial School, is also owned by the Presbyterian Board. The school is well equipped in every particular, and during the last session had 215 pupils. Dr. Thomas Lawrence is the President of the Institute.

Bingham's School, founded in 1793 by the grandfather of Major Robert Bingham, the present principal, was, until 1890, located in Orange county, North Carolina. The school is situated on a bluff overlooking French Broad river, and commands one of the finest views in this entire section. The buildings are equipped with every possible conve- nience for a military school, and from a sanitary point of view are un- surpassed. The instruction is thorough in every way.


One of the most useful institutions in the city is the Southern Business College, under Professor M. M. Lemmond. Thorough training is given in a business course, stenography, typewriting, penmanship, etc.

SCENE ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY.


The Skyland Institute, under Professor J. S. Dickey, which is now en- tering its third year, is well patronized by the people of the city, and affords excellent facilities for instruction for boys and girls.


The Asheville Free Kindergarten Association has four kindergarten schools in the city, three white and one colored. The association is doing great good, and is conducted entirely by private subscription. (See Local Charities. )


The Asheville Farm School is situated ten miles east of the city. It consists of 420 acres, purchased about three and one-half years ago, at a cost of $14,500. Twenty thousand dollars have [since been expended.


43


ASHEVILLE CITY DIRECTORY-HISTORICAL.


The school opened on November 2, 1894, with about twenty boys, this being all that could be accommodated at that time. Over one hun- dred can now be provided for. The school is meant to give the boys a thorough elementary education, to teach them all kinds of farm work and house work, except cook- ing, and to teach carpentering.

Flower Mission .- The Flower Mission, which began its modest work in the spring of 1884, was organized as auxiliary to the State branch of that department of the National W. C. T. U., its primary work being confined to the sphere which its name indicates. An extension, however, has been made, and the original little Flower Mission band has grown into an associated char- [ ** An almost perpendicular wall of mountains, fifteen hundred to two thousand feet high."1 ity organization. SCENE ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY. The central office of the Mission is in the City Hall. The work is thoroughly and systematically organized. The city is divided into districts, and wherever suffering and want appear, the Mission sends its representatives. By systematic, but kindly, investigation, every case of reported need is looked into, and the abuses of beggary are thus avoided.


Mission Hospital .- The Mission Hospital is an outgrowth of the Flower Mission, and had its start in 1885, with the rent of only two rooms as- sured. In 1887 the board of managers bought the Hawley place, which, with a few alterations, was used as a hospital for five years The work grew, and a new building with modern appliances became absolutely nec- essary. Through the generous offer of Miss Laura Houghteling, in 1891,


44


ASHEVILLE CITY DIRECTORY-HISTORICAL.


of $1,500 as a contribution to a new building, the managers were en- abled to start a financial campaign sufficiently successful to justify the erection of a new building, which was ready for occupation December 18, 1892. The hospital still has a debt of $4,000 on it, and is dependent to a very large extent on private contributions. Too much praise cannot be given the managers and the efficient medical staff for their earnest work in the upbuilding of this much needed charity.


Children's Home .- The Buncombe County Children's Home grew out of a conversation between Mr. J. E. Rankin, Chairman of the County

Commissioners, and Miss Fanny L. Patton, in November, 1889, when the latter had asked for a poor woman and two children admission to the almshouse. Mr. Rankin, always ready to assist in every good work and to use his strong influence for the growth of the city and county, sug- gested an appeal to the commissioners; and at their next meeting, accom- panied by Captain J. P. Sawyer, Miss Patton induced them to appoint a committee to bring forward plans for the establishment of a home for destitute and friendless children until suitable private homes could be found for them. Captain J. P. Sawyer, Captain T. W. Patton, and J. E Rankin assisted in the presentation of the plans. There


45


ASHEVILLE CITY DIRECTORY-HISTORICAL.


was a crying need for such an institution. It was determined by the committee to ask for only $600 from the county, and to appeal to the generosity of the citizens of Asheville for further aid. The response was prompt and hearty. Through the assistance of the managers of the Mission Hospital, a portion of the Hospital grounds was obtained free of cost for a term of five years. The new home was opened March 11, 1890, and an act of the legislature, passed in March, 1891, legalized the establishment and maintenance at public expense of such homes in Bun- combe county. The home has done a good that cannot be estimated. Miss Patton, active in every good work, may well be pleased with the result of an idea which has saved so many children from ignorance and vice and given them a fair opportunity for independent self-support.


Asheville Reformatory. - The Asheville Reformatory was made an ad. junct of the city prison at the instigation and under the administration of Captain T. W. Patton, during his mayoralty. A suitable police matron was employed by the city, whose duty it is to supervise the women prisoners and keep them profitably employed. A large room in the City Hall is devoted to this purpose.


Lindley Training School .- In connection with the Reformatory should be mentioned the Lindley Training School, which is situated near Ashe- ville. About five years ago Mrs. C. G. Mitchell was deeply impressed with the need of a rescue home, and by her influence and the contribu - tions of friends in and out of Asheville, the school was built.


W. C. T. U .- The Asheville W. C. T. U. was organized by Miss Willard in 1883, and has been efficiently active since its foundation in all lines of charity work and in enlightening the public mind in regard to the evils of intemperance.


Asheville Free Kindergarten .- The A. F. K. Association was incor- porated in 1892, when, through the generosity of Mr. George W. Pack, a school building was erected and given the association. The Colored Kindergarten was opened in the Colored Young Men's Institute through the generosity of Mr. George W. Vanderbilt, when an appeal was made to him in the autumn of 1894.


S. P. C. A .- The North Carolina Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was organized at Asheville, April 1, 1890, with H. H. Lyons as its founder. The society, though a small one, has accomplished much good.


Parochial Schools, Colored -The first organized effort for the education of the colored people through the channels of charity was the parochial school of the Episcopal church, opened in 1870 by Miss A. L. Chapman, of Rochester, N. Y., who was succeeded after two years by Rev. Mr. Berry. On Eagle street Rev. C. B. Dusenberry, of the Presbyterian

church, has a parochial school, and on Valley street, Rev. H. S. MeDuffey, of the Protestant Episcopal church, has one. In Victoria a combined chapel and schoolhouse was erected about six years ago, through the gen- erosity of Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, and a flourishing day school has been kept up.


Industrial School, Colored .- In 1885 Rev. Dr. L. M. Pease erected a building for an industrial school on College street, and opened it in the autumn of that year. The school was in the next year deeded to the

Woman's Board of Missions of the M. E. Church, and has been in con- tinuous successful operation. Additional quarters are now being erected.


Young Men's Institute .- In 1892 a Mr. Stephens, principal of the col- ored graded school, appealed to Mr. George W. Vanderbilt for aid in erecting a colored Y. M. C. A. The generous response was the fine and substantial building which is fitted up with stores, offices, a large lecture hall, a library and reading-room, parlor and school-room, and the office of the superintendent.


47


ASHEVILLE CITY DIRECTORY -- HISTORICAL.


Y. M. C. A .- The Y. M. C. A. was organized in 1889. A gymna- sium, lecture-room, parlors, boys' rooms, bath-rooms, and reading rooms were opened, and the association has been a powerful factor for good since its foundation. A small library is being accumulated and the lead- ing reviews and papers are on its tables.


Fire Department.


The Asheville Fire Department, though voluntary, is a very efficient one, and the promptness, energy, and courage of the members have saved the city thousands of dollars. Prior to 1882 the Bucket Brigade existed. In that year the city purchased a hook and ladder truck and a small hand-truck with two small chemical extinguishers attached. Cap- tain J. P. Sawyer was made chief of the department in 1883. On August 1, 1894, Hose Co. No. 1 was organized with H. G. Fagg as captain. The city then had two reels and 800 feet of hose. In March, 1890, two auxiliary companies were organized. They were then known as the North Asheville and West Asheville companies, and are now known as Companies Nos. 1 and 2. From June, 1892, to June, 1893, the department was in a disorganized condition, owing to certain differ- ences between the company and the city authorities. The chiefs have been Captain J. P. Sawyer, George S Powell and J. R. Rich ; Captain Sawyer is the present chief. The position was refused by W. F. Ran- dolph, who for a number of years was in the department. There are now twenty-one members of Hose Company No. 1, four members of Company No. 2, five members of Company No. 3, and twelve members of the Hook and Ladder. Since 1892, with a short exception, L. W. Jeanneret has been the able and efficient secretary of the department.


Asheville Library.


Asheville Library .- The Asheville Library was organized January 20, 1879. A reading circle, which had been in active operation for two years, led to the idea of the Library. Probably the most active workers in arousing a substantial interest were Misses Anna C. Aston, Fanny L. Patton, and Anna Chunn. The Library was not allowed to stand still even in location, and was moved from place to place until, through the generosity of Captain T. W. Patton and Miss Patton, heirs-at-law, a deed was made to the Library Association in November, 1893, whereby the plat of land on which the Library building now stands came into its possession. The Library consists of about 3,000 volumes. The books are taken out by subscription, but the reading-room is free to the public.

Asheville Light Infantry.


The A. L. I. was organized March 4, 1888. Its first captain was John H. Barnard ; 1st lieutenant, Ed. Weddin ; 2d lieutenant, R. P. Johnston. Its second captain was Duff Merrick ; third, T. M. Kim- berly ; fourth, White G. Smith (now major 2d Battalion, 4th Regiment, N. C. State Guard). The present captain is T. W. Bookhart ; 1st lieu- tenant, R. S. Stewart: 2d lieutenant, A. E. Rankin. The appropria- tion was, until changed by the last legislature, $250 per annum, when it was reduced to $150, which is used to supply uniforms, etc. The company is aided by the city, and consists of between fifty and sixty members.

Clubs.


Clubs .- Asheville has for years boasted of fine social clubs. The Cosmopolitan and the Carolina held sway during the days of Asheville's most rapid growth. The Cosmopolitan was reorganized and became the Asheville Club. The Carolina merged into the Asheville, and with its elegant quarters in the recently constructed Drhumor Block, the Ashe- ville Club will continue in an increased degree to be one of the finest social features of the city. The Swannanoa Country Club is a great ad- dition to the social life of the city. The modest but elegant club-house

on Battery Park Hill is excellent in every appointment, while the Hunt- ing Lodge, two and a half miles southwest of the city, is a popular resort for those members and guests who patronize the chase.

which have lived and died are : The Asheville Messenger, The Asheville Spec- tutor, The Asheville, News, The Asheville Democrat. The two leading papers to-day are The Daily Citizen, afternoon daily and semi-weekly, and the Gazette, morning and weekly. Besides these are The State Register, weekly ; State Reporter, weekly ; Skyland News, weekly ; Colored Enter- prise, weekly ; Epworth News, semi-monthly ; Southern Lutheran, Southern Baptist, Tar-Heel Knight and Lyceum, monthly ; and Fuller's Gleaner, occasionally.

Hotels, Railroads, Etc.


Hotels .- An extended mention of Asheville's hotels is not needed. Her accommodations are ample and elegant. In place of the old Buck, the Eagle and the Carolina House, have come the Battery Park and Kenilworth Inn, both known beyond the States as among the most ele- gant hostelries in the entire country, and the Berkeley, the Oakland Heights, the Swannanoa, the Oaks, the Asheville, Glen Rock, and others, which justly have a large and substantial patronage. The Bat- tery Park was opened in 1886, and has constantly undergone extensive improvements to keep pace with the increased demand for room. The same may be said of Kenilworth Inn, which was opened in 1891. The old Grand Central has given place to the modern Berkeley. When it is remembered that Asheville accommodates annually about 70,000 vis-


51


ASHEVILLE CITY DIRECTORY-HISTORICAL.


itors, it can be seen that her hotels and boarding-houses must have ample facilities for guests.


Railroads .- "Asheville is now approached by rail from the north via Salisbury, N. C., and Morristown, Tenn. ; from the east via Salisbury ; from the south via Spartanburg, S. C .; and from the west and north, west via both Murphy, N. C., and Morristown, Tenn."-Asheville, Where It Is.


SCENE ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY.


Electric Railways .- Asheville has three electric railway systems run- ning through every section of the city and into and through the various suburbs. One can ride from the Square to the depot, to Lookout moun- tain, to Sunset mountain, to the river at the foot of Bingham's Heights, and to Victoria and Biltmore.


Water- Works .- Asheville owns its own water-works, which are five miles from the city. The stand-pipe is on Beaumont, and has a capacity of 330,000 gallons. The water is obtained from the Swannanoa, which unites with the French Broad near the city limits, to the southwest. The water-power of the French Broad is estimated at 175,000 horse-power.


Street Lighting .- The city is supplied with nearly 100 lamps for street lighting, and electricity is used. Gas and electricity is furnished private houses.


Vanderbilt's Biltmore.


" With unlimited means, and a whole world to choose from, George W. Vanderbilt has selected Asheville as the one place for creating the splendid house and lordly park which his architects and engineers are now constructing. Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect,

53


ASHEVILLE CITY DIRECTORY-HISTORICAL.


" The Biltmore estate contains 7,917 acres, and the Pink Bed tract of Mr. Vanderbilt's hunting preserve contains 16,100 acres. An arbore- tum, embracing many miles of winding road, traverses the Biltmore do- main, and to complete its planting 6,000,000 plants will be required, many of which are now being propagated. The number of plants already propagated in the Biltmore nurseries for use on the estate, reaches the enormous total of 4,300,000.


" When this great work is finished the result will be far the finest private country residence in the United States, and probably in the world."-Asheville, Where It Is.

Winyah Sanitarium.


The Winyah is one of the most noted Sanitariums in this country, especially for the treatment of consumption. It is under the manage- ment of Dr. Karl Von Ruck, whose reputation as a specialist in the treatment of tuberculosis has given him a world-wide reputation. Every possible facility in treatment is at hand and the large patronage and re- markable cures attest the worth of the institution.


Some Facts and Figures.


The following table gives the ratio of consumption in several sec- tions of the country. The figures indicate the number of deaths from this disease in every 1,000 deaths :

Cemeteries .- The old church cemeteries have long since given way to the beautiful Riverside Cemetery, overlooking the French Broad to the northwest. The cemetery was opened in 1885.

Retrospect and Prophecy.


Such is an outline-necessarily imperfect-of Asheville from its be- ginnings in the last century ... Her past is one of industry, thrift, and plenty in days of peace ; of bravery and courageous suffering in the days of strife. Her present is full of pluck and push, and is secure. Her affairs are managed with prudence and ability by the business ele- ment of the city, a fact which insures good government. No conceiv- able reason exists to mar a rapid and substantial growth for the future.
