The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1906-03-22

A few months ago the idea of the
Hospital Association of Hendersonville
was first agitated by Miss Lucy Davis
and Mrs Capt. Toms. The first meeting
was held at the residence of Mrs. Toms,
and the ladies now meet in the County
Commissioners room in the Court
House. The association is non-secta-
rian, the dues are but ten cents month
and there are forty members enrolled.
Four rooms are donated in the Irving
Place, entil June lst, with lady in
charge, when the association wishes to
rent an entire house'where their accom-
modations will be more ample. This
is brief outline of the Hospital Asso-
citation of HendersonYille:
The spirit of self sacrifice, of good
will, of love for the unfortunate, shown
by this organization is worthy OF the
utmost support from all onr citizens.
Actuated solely by the spirit of the Mas
ter, who said, "As ye have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren.
We have done it unto me,
they have spent time and money in
relieving the unfortunate of this city
and county, and DR.. Waldrop is author
ity for the statement that at least two
lives have been, saved through their
efforts They have heard the cry OF the
distressed and of the needy. They have
relieved destitution in many homes,
sending wood, food and clothing, and
their rooms at the Irving Place has
proved boon to many of the suffering
and distressed To what finer use can
money possibly be put than to aid these
ladies in establishing a modern hospital
in Hendersonville? To relieve the suf-
fering, to ease pain, to give proper and
scientific nursing to the sick, to even
save lives, these are the ends they
would accomplish. With a thoroughly
modern hospital at home, it will nc
longer be necessary to leave Hender-

The Hospital Association:
It's Aims and Ambitions

sonville for medical treatment. Our
physicians are amongst the best in the
South, and are amply able to take care
of any case, provided they have the
proper hospital accommodations. The
project is endorsed by all the churches
of the city, the physicians are enthusi-
astic and all that is necessary is for our
public-spirited citizens to subscribe to
a most worthy project, afford the Hos
pital Association wider opportunities
for doing good, and have the blessed
assurance that their one dollar, or one
thousand dollars is being used to re-
lieve suffering humanity.
Aslit stands now, those who can af-
ford it go to Biltmore. to Charleston, to
Atlanta, or some where else for hospital
treatment. The poor of the city and
county, often die for lack of it. A mod
ern hospital means proper nursing,
the physicians know this, and as their
mission in life is to relieve the suffering
they are the most enthusiastic in their
efforts towards establishing such an in
stitution here, where rich and poor
may both be treated, their sufferings
eased, apd valuable lives saved.
Support the Hospital Association in
every way within your power. They
want both your moral and financial sup
port, and no organization on earth is
more worthy of it.

Death OF Dr.. John Mitchell.

The news of the death of DIR. John
Mitchell will be of interest in Hender-
sonville, as DIR. Mitchell was pastor
of a church here between 1889 and 1891.
In lc9i he went TO- Europe, and on his
return took charge of the educational
department of Wake Forest, After
several years devoted to that work, he
became enfeebled with diseases, and
died at the home of his brother in Ber-
tie county, on March 3rd, where he had
spent his latter years. He was a man
of extraordinary meekness and mild
ness of disposition, and his piety was
pronounced. Probably. the leading
trait of his character was goodwill to-
wards all men. He was pastor of the
First Baptist church of Asheville, and
gave it it's impetus to success. A most
liberal contributor to church work and
to all charitable and educational in
stitutions, the cry of the distressed and
needful was always heard by him.
AS the Biblical Recorder says: He
was one that walked amongst his breth-
rem here and did his work as man
must, but who nevertheless looked
steadfastly to the City which hath foun-
dations whose builder and maker Is
God. He is within the gates OF that
city now and on the bosom of his Lord. y

Horse Shoe Happenings.

Happenings? No; we don't mean
events that occur by chance altogether.
for the most interesting as well IS ele-
waiting occurrences in any community
are those planned and completed by the
will and energy of levelheaded and
whole-hearted, citizens; while happen
ings are usually the periods which pune
tuate a perverse, careless, or distorted
course of action. Events which occur
by the will of Providence do not come
by chance, and therefore in the latter
sense cannot be said to happen-but ex-
cuse me, 1 don't mean to philosophize,
but wish to propose query to my fell
low country correspondents: Where
will YOU place those occurrences In your
community-if you have such occur
rences-which are the result neither OF
the will of level-headed and whole
hearted citizens, nor OF the will or
Providence? You cannot give them .
place in the columns of . creditablo
newspaper, and you would not, as they
do not tend to the elevation OF society
and . paper could not touch them
and maintain It's moral standing; but
such conditions have place on the body
of the local society in which they ex-
ist and press it below the average OF .
normal state of society. The unmen-
tionable conditions referred to here 10
the untireing practice of the gossip, the
tattler and scandal-monger whose
tongues are set on fire of hell" Fami-
lilies are marked, churches divided,
Sunday schools shattered and business
debilitated by the envious jealousy OF .
very few designing, though not intelli-
gent persons.
AS true wisdom advances we shall see
this deluded enemy skulking thither-
ward as the skunk from the rising sun,
and we trust that even now these ram
dom shots will not find him rs mark
in all of our goodly land. RoFF.

bosom friend of former Senator Butler, was
at the White House today, and there was u
report that he went to talk over the ques-
of a cabinet position for the ex-populist
national chairman. Pettigrew and Butler
are together today.
Representative Blackburn has nominated
Sanford Cowlec, of Wilkes, for appoint
ment as midshIpman at Annapolis.
Brownlow jackson, of Hendersonvllle,
came here to see about his appointment as
postmaster at that place, and the president
sent his name to the senate today. He is
going to stay here and try and get confirm
ed, if possible, without delay. He knows
what it means 10 give North Carolina re-
publicans the opportunity to hold up a
nomination.
Blackburn Works Dumb Racket.
Representative Blackburn has changed
his tactics very materially since his visit to
North Carolina. When he left here he
was talking of doing half dozen different
stunts, one of which includes speech on
the floor of the house in denunciation of
his political adversaries. Since his return
his vocabulary is almost limited to that of a
dumb man. He does go to the extent of
saying ''good morning in greeting friends,
and on one or two occasion last week was
heard to make response of Eyes" and mo. ?"
Silence is Mr.. Blackburn's guiding thought
since he talked over his case with his attor-
neys at Greensboro and Asheville.
When the congressman returned to
Washington he aid his friends considered
the advisability of calling mass meeting
at Wilkesboro, in which republicans from
every township in the district were to be
present with the object of rendering him
another nomination. Vindication by mass
meeting was not considered the advisable
thing by a number of Blackburn's friends
and the idea was abandoned, although some
of his enthusiastic supporters said three
thousand people could be gotten together.
An Unpleasant Light.
Blackburn is also beginning to realize
that the charge that District Attorney Hol-
ton resorted to peanut politics to bring
about his indictment is not goint to clear
him of the charge that he has violated the
law, especially in view ef the fact that Mr..
! Rolton is no longer factor in the case,
and the action of the Department of JUS
tice in shouldeling ali responsibility: The
statement was made to this correspondent
] at the Department of Justice that the in
dlctment against Blackburn is not Mr..
Holton's act, nor even that of Assistant
Attorney General RObb, but that the de-
cision to prosecute the congressman was
reached by Attorney General Moody him
self, who, after considering the facts, or
dered that Mr.. Holton proceed with the
machinery of the law. From present iudi-
cations Mr.. Blackburn will face one of the
assistant attorney generals, Robb or Nc
Reynolds, when his case comes to trial in
Greensboro in April. Mr. Holton will be
o hand, out the fact is going to be brought
out very clearly. from present indications
that the administration in Washington as.
sumes all responsibility for the proceedings
against Mr.. Blackburn. & Observer

One would think the Laxative idea
in cough syrup should have been adj
vanced long before 1t was. It seems the
only rational remedy for coughs and
colds would be to move the. bowels and
clean the mucous membrane of the
throat and lungs at the same time.
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar does
this. It is the original Laxative Cough
Syrup, the best known remedy for
Coughs, Colds, Group, Whooping Cough
