Mutual Life and Health Insurance
Company

The Imperial Mutual Life and Health
Insurance Company is strictly a south
ern company, organized and chartered
under the laws of North Carolina. The
promoters are among the leading busi-
ness and professional men OF the south,
such as, Major W. w. Rollins, Guy
Green, Chas. A. Webb, w. A. Boyce,
Wiley B. Brown and others, who, recog-
nizing tho close competition in the in
surance fields, have endeavored to place
contract before the people giving q
protection for sicknes, accident, etc.,
second to none of its kind in the country.
This company has established an Office
in this city, and all who wish to car
ry protection of this kind can do so
without being compelled to deal
with some foreign enterprise, in other
words, we have the opportunity of pa
tronizing home industry, thereby bene-
fitting ourselves both directly and indi-
rectly for dollar kept at home con-
tinues to pay debts at home, while q
dollar sent abroad, pays only one, and
that at the other end of the line, etc.

"a FORMER HUSTLER PRINTER.
c. D. Wells Meets DepIorabIe
Death Under Car Wheels and
Thereby "Hangs TaIe.'

The second compOsitor employed on
THE HUSTLER after the papers ap-
pearance in Brevard nearly fifteen years
ago was Chas. D. Wells, of the Gravel
ing tribe" He was first-class printer
and one of industry and perseverance.
But no inducement could hold him in
any place longer than few weeks and
on New Years morning 1892. Mr.. Wells
took his departure from Brevard with
out even saying goodbye. He never
gave up the road, as the following ac-
count of mis- death will show:
ga moral of more than ordinary sig
nifcance attaches to the death of Chas
d. Wells, the itinerant printer, who
met tragic death under car wheels at
Bluefeld, w. Va, a few days ago. Ac-
cording to letters found on his person
he was once a happy husband with a
devoted wife, and the two had been
linked even more inseperably together
by the birth of a child
The parents of Wells wife did not
like Wells and never became reconciIed
to the match. For months, it seems,
they persisted in destroying whatever
rightfully belonged to the marriage.
They kept stirring up trouble until they
succeeded in bringing about separa-
tion, and finally, by introducing periu-
ry, it is said, had the separation made
legal in divorce proceeding
This was dark day for Wells, and,
driven from the woman he loved and
away from the caresses of his child, he
became a wanderer on the face of the
earth. A brave and strong man he
must have been that through all the un-
happy years that followed, he was able
to withstand the temptation to commit
the cowardly act of self-destruction.
The woman who of right belonged to
him, finally married another aud if still
living, as she was only recently, she is
the slave of a helpless paralytic whom
she never loved and the folly of the sep
aration from the man she loved is now
preying upon her life with all the Bit
terness of an agOnizing death.
The lesson is one which every parent
should learn. It is well to gnard ones
children with Jealous care, but when
carried to the extreme of trifing with
the affection there is but one result, and
that is the pathetic fate of misery, dis
grace and death

A Fruitland Fancy.

Being somewhat fatigued by constan,
study, the teachers and students Oh
Fruitland Institute decided to quiet
their nerves and refresh their minds
| by mountain trip.
: So on April 6, most of the teachers
and students, accompanied by some
close friends began their journey for
Ball Top. A constant chatter and cheers
of delight resounded through the wales
and re-echoed from the mountains as
onward the march proceeded, for now
most all seemed to realize that This
world is what we make it," for the ma
tural beauty is unsurpassed.
AS some dictated that it was danger
GUS to tread the way alone, the weaker
sex found assistance over the rough and
mile from the top of the mountain;
though some all day persisted in keep
ing up the rear.
ALI were impressed that this was the
place for stopping and chatting together
awhile, but after doing so, it was re-
ported that two of the lady teachers
and some others, had not yet arrived
Thus disturbed courier and pilot was
sent to their rescue.
AS the skill and patience of these
which is shown so much in the school
room, was not quite so successful along
this line, the pilot found part of the
crowd wandering around the mountain,
and the others were heard of making q
straight course to the top considering
themselves as a second John Whites
colony.
AS soon as the pilot returned with the
rescued, yea, little before, lunch was
spread, and this was one time every one
made use of their opportunity; though
there was sufficient supply for all, and
some baskets of fragments left over.
After lunch short stay amid whirl-
winds was enjoyed to its fullest extent,
then the merry band proceeded upward,
as they had been taught the way to sue
cess was upward. and soon the height
of the journey was reached. Here, all
who were not looking for lovers-leaps,
viewed the landscape O'er. Beautiful
was the scenery all around. The lovely
town of HendersonviIle showed fourth
in all its splendor as the sight was fitted
thereon. Then turning eastward the
magnificent property of Messrs. Smith
& Williams demanded attention, and
mouths were made to water longing for
Sugar Loaf But knowing that all things
comes to him who waits, we tried not to
be so greedy as to want all good things
In day. Then the iGtle village Of

There are now two corps of engineer;
at work on the great Appalachian In.
terurban Railroad, which is to run from
HENDERSONvILLE to Gaffney, y. G.
One corps is working from Pau's Gap
up to Reedy Patch. The other from
Pau's Gap down Broad River.
Just what this mere announcement
means to the future of this wonderfully
progressive city is hard to say now, but
it is safe to predict that with this rail-
road now almost an accomplished fact,
the Greenville Railroad practical Ger
tainty, Hendersonville and the sur
rounding country will enter upon an
era "f prosperity which will be unpar-
allied in the history of the South. This
road will open up country absolutely
passed in the United States for
scenic grandeur, for timber, granite.
and for wonderful water powers. 1t is
territory now undeveloped, and the pos
sibilities presented by having this road
penetrate such virgin country, of sim
ply boundless wealth, are dazzling.
With the timber, granite, water powers,
with probably the finest farming lands
in the country in Polk and Cherokee
counties, the future of the residents of
the counties to be traversed by the APP
palachian Interurban Railroad are
brighter than in any part of the South.
Instead of one railroad, Hendersonville
will shortly have several spokes to her
wheel, and with the public spirit and
progressive tendencies manifested in
this city, the time is not far off when
our population will be doubled, and &C
cording to some of our permanent citi-
zens, tribled.
All this country is now inaccessible.
The road will bring people to Hender-
sonville by the hundreds. 1t will in
crease Hendersonville's fame as THE
summer resort of the South, and will be
one of the great factors in making
GREATER HENDERSONVILLE an
actual. ACCOMPLISHED fact Some of our
far-seeing men have long believed that
the time was coming when this city
would be the greatest in Western North
Carolina Their faith in the future of
their town has been as unshaken as the
grand old mountains by which we are
surrounded, and while at times the
dawn of that day may have seemed long
in coming, it is now evident they were
men of far sight, and that their faith
was founded upon rock.

SENSATIONAL CLASH IN HOUSE.
Congressman Macon Uses Strong
Language in Abiding TO Mr..
Small,

Washington. d. c., April 11.-There
was sensational clash in the House to-
day between Representative Small, of
North Carolina, and Macon, of Arkan-
sas, who exchanged words of some
warmth yesterday, as the result of the
| letter of Col. A. B. Andrews, First vice.
president of the Southern Railway. in
which that official declared that the
present mail service to New Orleans
would not be maintained if the fast
mail appropriation to the Southern
should be discontinued.
The after-clap came today when Mr..
Macon arose to complain of his treat.
ment by the newspapers. He was liyid
with anger, and with difficulty main
tanned his equipoise.
''Mr. Chairman" he said, ST want to
say that while recognize the right of
newspapers to publish anything they
please, still 1 think in fairness they
ought to publish both sides of every
case they propose to give the public.
On yesterday Mr.. Small, from North
Carolina, charged me with having ut
tered libel against certain railroad
official. then and there said in his
presence that his statement to that eff
feet was an infamous libel against me.
But, sir, the papers, for some cause pub
lished what he said about me but failed
to give my reply. want it distinctly
understood that no man can reflect up-
on me in that way without my resent
ing it at the time and to his face"
''The gentleman does not DENY that
he libeled the house, does he?'' asked
Mr.. Small.
Mr.. Macon: ST do deny it, and here
and now denounce your statement as
basely false, and object to your inter-
ruption. yielded to you the other
day when I thought you were a gentle
man, but now I know you are not q
gentleman in any sense of the word, and
| decline to yield to you because you
are not one."
There was great tension in the house
following this remark. Mr.. Small re-
strained himself with the following ans.
