If the law is designed for the public
welfare rather than the individual,
which is generally conceded, why is
the penalty not of sufficient severity
to prevent crime rather than of such
leniency as is designed to work to the
advantage OF the individual criminal?

A distinguished visitor in the per-
son of Prot W. T.. Hidden, of Newark
n. j., spent last week in Rutherford
ton as the guest of Mr.. M. .. DECKER
son, clerk of the Superior court OF

Professor Hidden is an eminent geo

name will be recognized as the origin
of the name of the beautiful stone
called Hiddenite a valuable emerald
green gem found in western North
Carolina. 1t WIS SO named because
of it's discovery by Prof. Hidden
about 1881 while exporting Alexander

The interesting announcement is
made concerning the visit of the emiu-
ent gentleman to North Carolina. that
he is here seeking data concerning the
late Christopher Bechtler who was a
resident of Rutherfordton many years
prior to the civil war and where he
coined the gold mined in the noun
tain region round about. The Bechtler
dollar and five dollar pieces were once
extensively circulated in North and

face value everywhere. The fact is
they contained greater ratio of gold

but many of the coins drifted to the

they were reminted, while others fell

served them as curioS. We have Seeh

These North Carolina coins bring all
kinds of prices and it is lucky man
who has one or more of them.
Prof Hidden, during his visits to
North Carolina, learned of MI
Bechtler and his mint and became
deeply interested. He is gathering
data to write a biography of Bechtler
and history of his coinage operations
1t is stated, however. that he will get
out an edition Of only $50 copies of
his book. Prof Hidden has fine
collection of Bechtler coins and wants
more of them offering handsome
prices for this historic North Carolina
