How Tar Heels Got to Georgia

The Atlanta Georgian boasts in a re-
cent issue of the unnumbered thousands
that Georgia has sent out to other states,
to make those states better, Of course,
for they are all North Carolinians once
removed. Georgia was settled by Tar
Heels. Ex-Govorner Chandler, of
Geogia, once explained the presence
of North Carolinians there in this way.
esaid that many and many year ago
some emigrants passed through this
state in wagons. gong from the north
to the southern sections, and they
lOurneyed thence in wagons. Now, up
to that time North Carolinians had new
er seen any wheels, wagon wheels, so
when these home-seekers passed
through, there was gathered unto them
a great throng, curious to see the
wheels. After them they followed in
order that they might be on hand when
the big wheels overlook the little ones.
Finally they realized they were in
Georgia, and since it was ''fur piece"
back home, they resolved to stay there
and make it as good state as North
Carolina. However, they had nothing
whatever to do with making Atlanta,
and we are prone to believe that they
haven't much to do with the guberna-
torial campaign down there in the EN-
pire State.

About Advertising HendersonviIe

It is the opinion of many of our citi-
zens that Hendersonville does not get
the recognition and attention in the
Southern Railways advertising
which her position entities her to- Pick
up any mangaziene and you will find d
full page setting forth the advantages
possessed by Toxaway and Ashevilie az
q place in which to spend the summer
or winter. The folders are devoted ex-
clusively to those points. Henderson
Vile, place at least where passegers
must transfer to Toxawav, is never
mentioned. You can't buy round trip
ticket to Rendersonville. Henderson
vile is never mentioned In the big
cards in the depots calling attention to
the '.land of the Sky" Why this des-
elimination? Hendersonville has at
tanned her present position thro' no aid
from the Southern, it is true, but the
people of this city are now beginning to
realize that they are entitled to square
deal in the matter of advertising at
least, even if not in freight rates.
There is movement on foot to call
the attention of the proper official of the
Southern to this matter, and it is hoped
and believed that in their next issue of
advertising, Hendersonville may at least
be mentioned, even if it is only in five
point type. This city has advantages
possessed by no other, and it would
profit the Southern Railway to call the
attention of its patrons to that fact.

REPUBLICANS AND DEGENER-
ACY.
Two Incidents of the Greensboro
Convention Which Show the
Makeup Of the "Mix-up.'
(Asheville Gazette-News. J


The fact that one of Butler & Adams
meu, a postmaster, insulted a waitress
in a Greensboro hotel, with the result
that she threw plate of soup into his
face and then smashed the plate over
his head; and that one of Blackburn IS
men, also postmaster, so far forgot
himself as to jump mp and yell repeat
edy in the State convention, "Give 'em
hell, SPENCE has furnished grist for
the mills of the Greensboro correspond
ents, who insist upon division of dis
hOuors, and conjecture that the least the
president can do is to fire out both post
masters.
One Greensboro correspondent thinks
that ex-Judge Adams, the chairman of
the convention, gave evidence of limit
ed powers of definition in rebuking the
Blackb burn enthusi tst for "using OBJ
scene language in the presence of
ladies'" He thinks that the words used
were profane, not ''ohscene. Tais is
a fine point, and We would prefer not to
attempt to diferentiate. If any body in
sists upon having our opinion, however,
we are forced to say that we regard
give EN- hell, Spence" especially
when uttered in the presence 0f ladies,
as both obscene and profanc, and we
think The guilty postmaster should be
AZ once requested to skiddoo. 1t was
an old lady in Richmond Caryel, we be-
lieve, who very profanely rebnked q
young lady for using the name of the
devil in an irreverent and disrespectful
way.
We rejoice not at calamity, as a gen.
eraI thing, but we are frankly Z lad that
the hotel waitress violently poured the
other postmaster's soup upon his person
and raiment, and then broke the plate
over his head. These white mattresses
are to be cherished and encouraged by
the travelling public, and as an occasion
al member of that fraternity W. think
it well that this effective resentment of
insult should be heralded abroad
through the land. The hotel dining
rooms with clean, quiet, pleasant-look-
ing white mattresses are GASES in the
travelling mans desert. 1t is our OBJ
servation that they do not stick their
fingers in the soup, but if they did we
should not mind it so much. We have
remarked, further, that they do not
hunt up the dirtiest rag they can find in
the kitchen and swab with il the plate
from which you are about to begin to
eat. Their presence is not such
presence as to overcome and nullify any
pleasant odors that may arise from your
ham and eggs.
They are not menials. They are
Injuries. The man who would offer
them insult on her own premises is a
fool as we'll as knavs.
The postmaster who offered insult to
the young waitress has since died, so
the appelaton "skiddoo" cannot now
apply in his case.-Ed. Hustler

A SHREWD TRAIN ROBBER.
Made Two Successful "Grabs"
and Escaped Into the Woods.

t'The special detectives in the employ oil
the AshevnIe division of the Southern rail
way are looking for well dressed stranger
who Monday afternoon committed two
daring robbe1es on board Southern rail-
way trains. The first robbery occurred
between Lake Toxaway and Henderson
vile, when handbag belonging to lady
passenger was stolen while the lady was
absent for d few moments from her seat.
Suspicion pointed to well dressed man
Of little mure than medium height and
wearing light-colored suit of clothes.
The suspicious Stranger left the train a,
Hendersonville and boarded the train
bound for Asheville.
He had been on the train scarcely five
minutes and the train had goue not more
than $50 yards from the Hendersonville
station, when he again committed robbery
by snatching another handbag from a lady
passenger and leaping from the train. The
conductor of the train is satisfied that he
can identify the man if he is ever caught.
The fest handbag contained small amount
OF change. 1t belonged to lady who
came on to Asheville and registered at the
Battery Park hotel. The second handbag
contained about S42 in money. 1t is said
that the stranger-cobber boarded the Foxa-
way train at Lake .Toxaway Monday and
that he had hren ut that place or near that
place for several days. 1t is belieyed that
he has operated az resort hotels in Western
North Carolina and the detectives in the
employ of the Southern are especially
anxious to catch him.
After the second robbery had 5een COM
mitted by the man Monday afternoon the
train was stopped and officers sent in search
of the rohbrr hut he headed for the noun
tains and the efforts of the pursuers were
futile,
The above story is from the Asheville
GazclIe anu throws some more light up
on the incident referred to locally, IN this
paper last week.

conspiracy in restraint OF trade in
violation of the drastic Ohio anti
trust law. The Ohio statute gocs
lurther IN the attempt TO reach mo.
nopolies of this character than anr
other State law on the subject. and
The pending trial, will determine It's
efficiency in curbing one of the mos.
powerful monopolies in the world.
The Ohio antitrust act provides
among other things that the charact-
err of the alleged trust or combna.

Its general reputation. 1t is not nee
essary that the existence of the trust
shall be evidenced by any written
instrument. The sweeping terms OF
the act simplify the work of the pros.
