HendersonVille's
Banks


The financial furry, originating in
Wall street. and which has spread over
a part ~of this great and prosperous
country, touching parts Of the North,
the West and the South, has not reached
this city.
While the banks of Asheville, Way
nesville, etc., have adopted the exped-
lent of issuing clearing house certifi-
Gates" a most excellent and proper
plan, by the way, the two local banks
have found no such action necessary on
their part.
In the meantime ii is a source OF
qualification to all that the banking in
stitutiens of this city are in the hands
Of men who enjoy the absolute conf
dence of all, and men whose mere sig
natures ara worth many times oyer the
combined deposits of both banks.
Here are the names-you know the
men.
The Bank of Hendersonville: J. p.
Hickman, president. Mr.. Hickman is
active and alert as ever in his super
vision of this bank, and no man enjoys
a greater confidence than he; J.. Mack
Rhodes, Cashier; Up Hickman, G. E.
Brooks, Geo. h. Valentine, A. Cannon
j. Mack Rhodes, A. L. Holmes, M. T
Justus, are the Directors.
The First National Bank: W. J.
Davis, president. Who in this county
is better known than w. J.. Davis? His
name is a tower of strength, and his
friends are legion; K. G. Morris, Cash
Ter; W. J. Davis, Geo. I. White. w. A.
Smith, ]. L. Egerton, s. Johnson, :. ".
Pless, F. A. Bly,, C.M, Pace, JIG. Reed,
R. H. Station, J.. G. Morrow, r. C..
Clarke, are the directors.
This paper co~ngratulates the two
banks upon the personal of its directo-
rate, and congratulates Henderson
that its financial interests are
in the hands of men so able to safe
guard them.

to the theory that the sulphur dioxide
may be dissolved from the smoke, thus
eliminating the smoke nuisance he
holds as result OF experiment that the
possibility of so dispOsing of the gas is
very slight, especially in semi-arid dis
trlct, and asks, granting that the gas

Coming TO the effects of the solid eman-
atoms from the smelteT. DIR. Ebaugh re-
minds his reader that they. unlike the
stack gases, which are widely diffused in
the air, are bound sooner or later to set

considerable distances from the stacks
which throw them forth. His analysis of
TINS dust. gathered not only from the
flUes, but from rafters in sheds, hay
stacks, soils in various parts of the
smoke zone" and the viscera of pois-
oned animals. show that it contains
among other things, the exceedingly cor
roslve elements of sUlphuric acid and ar
senic.
DR.. Ebaughs experiments with this
dust upon sugar beets and alfalfa lead
him TO the conclusion that its harmful
effects have been seriously underestimate

rosive in its action upon vegetation, and
has the effect of decreasing the nutri-
tive contents and especially of decreasing
the yield per acre.

Smelter Smoke

The initial article in the July number of
the Journal of the American Chemical
society, which has just been delivered
to subscribers here. is by W. Clarence
Ebaugh, professor of chemistry in the
state university. His title is 'Gas VS.
Solids 1t is report of a part of Dr.
Eoaugh's Investigations during the past
TWO years into the injurious ingredients
of smelter smoke. As the Investigations
were made near the smelteFs in Salt Lake
valley, and as the conclusions refer di-
rectly TO the shelters there. the arti-
Gle mas especial interest for Utah read
ers.
DR.. Ebaugh first examines the view
which holds that the gas sulphur .dioxide
In the smoke from the smelters causes the
damage to vegetation and the sickness
and death of animals. This view he
thinks has had undue emphasis. Exper-
iments which he carried on in 1905 with
the aid of university students showed a
surprisingly small amount of sulphur
dioXide in the atmosphere of the smell
ter region. A long series of experiments
made in 1906 in a field near Bingham
Junction leads him to the conclusion that
sulphur dioxide, when diluted to the
amount that can be present in the air of
a smelling district, must be applied re-
peatedly to plants in order to cause ma
terial injury" and that plants as slight
ly affected with the sulphur dioxide gas
as those growing in this valley, rather
than killing animals, are as nutritive as
plants not so affected The only posi-
BILE injury to plants by sulphur dioxide
of the smelter smoke is in the way of
whiting and bleaching, which if severe
may cause the leaves to fall off Injury
of any sort is rare during bright weather.
With respect to the opinion that tht
fog and rain dissolve large quantities of
the sulphur dioxide which thus is enabled
to cause great damage, DR.. Ebaugh sub
mits his experiments with sulphur diOxide
in aqueous solutions, which show that

THE HAYWOOD VERDICT.

When the prosecution in the case
against w D. Haywood for conspiracy
TO murder former Governor Stuenen-
berg failed to produce evidence in cor
roboration of Orchards story, it was
reasonably certain that no conviction
could follow. The verdict, therefore,
by which the jury declared Haywood
not guilty was no surprise to those
who had followed the trial closely, and
ii is probable the prosecutors them
selves were prepared for the result.
Orchards tale of systematic assassi-
nations, which he declared were COM
mitted at the instigation of the execu-
tive committee of the Western Fedora
ton, was, perhaps the most astounding
narrative OF crime ever heard in an
American court Detailed as it was
with a wealth of minor circumstances
that made 1t seem plausible, it was so
cold blooded, ii showed such heartIess
depravity in the man that no sane
juror could be expected TO convict and
hang a man on it unless the evidence
was confirmed from other and more
credible sources. That the crimes were
committed was, OF course, a matter of
record; that Orchard committed them
as he told the story, was quite pos
sible, although in the Bradley Incl

MAGILLS IN CLINTON JAIL
Affecting Scene Between Young Wife
and Her ParentS-Grand
Jury Meets Today.

Clinton, ILL.,, July 2S.-Hundreds of cur
lous people visited the county Jail today
hoping to see Fred Magil and his second
wife, Mrs. Fay Graham Magill, who were
brought back from California early to-
day to answer the charge of having
caused the death of Magilfs first wife.
Mrs. Pet Maude Magill, but they were
disappointed. No one was permitted to
see the prisoners except their attorneys
and the parents of Mrs. Fay Graham Ma
gill. For a short time MagiI and his
wife were taken to the residence of Sher-
IF Campbell and there met Mr.. and Mrs
Graham The meeting was very affect
ing. Mrs. Graham threw her arms about
her daughter, crying, My poor little
girl; my poor little girl" and the two enl-
bra"od and sObbed loudly.
After time Magill and his wife were
taken back to their cells. LAWYERS spent
most of the day with Magill, but declined
tonight to make any statement. The grand
jury viii convene tomorrow morning to
consider the case.

TOGA FOR ]. F. JOHNSTON
Senator Pettus Will Be Succeeded by
Former Governor of
State of Alabama.

Birmingham, Ala, July 2S.-The sue
cessor TO Senator Z. w. Pettus, who died
yesterday in Hot Springs. N. c., will be
former Governor Joseph F. Johnston of
Birmingham. At the state primaries last
year candidates for the alternate senator
ships were voted on and Senator j. H.
Bankhead received the highest vote. He
was therefore given the first vacancy
upon Senator Morgan's death. Governor
Johnston received the next highest vote
and will therefore be elected by the legis-
lature in joint session one week from
Wednesday to the second vacancy, caused
by Senator Pettus' death.
Johnston Is GA years of age, has a fine
war record and has always taken lively
interest in Confederate affairs. He
served as governor of Alabama from 1886
to 1900 Johnston will not only be elected
for the unexpired term of Senator Pet
tus, but will be elected also for the adj
ditional term to which Pettus was re-
Gently elected, which expires March 4,
1913.
Washington, July 2S.-According to pres
ent arrangements the funeral of the late
Senator Pettus of Alabama who died
last night, will occur at Selma, Ala,
Tuesday afternoon.

ANOTHER BIG MERGER.
fspecial TO The Herald.)

Ely, New, July 2S.-Articles of incor-
poration of the Stuart Gold Mines Holding
company have been filed with County
Clerk Miles of this city, the incorpora-
ton having been formed as the result of
another big consolidation of local mining
properties 1t was not long ago that the
Nevada Consolidated. Cumberland Ely
and Ely Mines companies merged into a
$1,000 600 combine. Now Henry c. Stuart
of New York, who has been interested in
the Cherry creek country for some time,
has formed a consolidation of five COM
panies. The capitalization is 100000 and
the stock is valued at 81 a share. The
mines are located five miles south of
Cherry Creek, on the old Overland road,
in the Gold Canyon mining district.
AS yet the pro rata of stock in the
smaller companies for stock in the new
concern has not been decided upon, and
for that reason only 1000 shares have ec-
tually been subscribed. James w. Ball
has 800 shares, Richard F. George has
100 and William c. Links has 100.
The names of the companies in the com
bine are the Golden Canyon Mining COM
pany, Cocomongo Gold Mining company.
Cherry Creek Gold Mine company and
the Antwerp-Nevada Gold Mining COM
pany. The five companies held property
that was contiguous to one another and
all told 800 acres are included. The ores
will average $3.50 a ton.

CAME into PORT ON FIRE
Passengers on Old Dominion Liner
Kept in Ignorance of the
True Situation.

New York, July 2s.-With a fire of I'M
known proportions burning in her hold,
the Hamilton. one of the crack steamers
of the Old Dominion line, from Norfolk
and Newport News. raced up the bay to-
night, while two fireboats ready for ac-
ton kept abreast of her. Lining the rail
the steamers 80 passengers, ignorant of
the true situation, shouted encouragement
to the putting tugs, which appeared bent
on OveThauling the larger vessel.
AS soon as the passengers, who knew
nothing of the fire. were ashore the
matches were removed. The fire was
found to be confined to one hold. Into
this hold steam had been forced from the
moment the blaze developed. The fire, at
first thought to have been controlled by
steam pumped into the hold as the vessel
speeded for her dock, proved most stub
born, and entailed a loss of about ST., 900.

were probably caused by an explosion

But granting that Orchard had COM
was not shown conclusively that he
had been directed by Haywood and his
associates in the Federation, and that
was the material point in the charge
of conspiracy
The outcome of the trial shows con-
ciusively that the wild-eyed assertions
Of such men as Debs that Haywood
and his fellow prisoners were to be rail-
roaded to death by the state of Idaho
were the foolish vaporings of cheap
demagogues. The trial was eminently
fair; the jury was satisfactory to both
sides, the judge was conspicuously i'm
partial. In every element that goes

the trial was an ideal demonstration
of the untruth of the accusations made
in advance against the Idaho court.
In view of the verdict any further talk
Of capitalistic control of the judiciary
in this case would be foolish as well
as criminal in intent
Speculation as TO the effect of the
trial on the fortunes of the Western
Federation and on the relations of
labor and capital in the mines is, per-
haps, superf1uous. The publicity and
general discussion which have resulted
from the prominence of the case have
doubtless been valuable. The sins of
the Federation and of the Mine Own
ers' organization, the violations Of law
on both sides, the resort to force, the
defiance of every constitutional right
in the conflict in Colorado by both
cOmbatants, have shown the evils of
and employed. 1t may be an optimistic
view, but the opinion seems warranted
that the strong light thrown on the
situation by the trial will lead to a
radicals may seek a continuance of the
conflict, but if pressure of intelligent
public sentiment can reach the leaders
they will recognize the danger of
situation which can lead only to an
archy and social disruption.
The public wants peace in this west
ern mining region. 1t wants the mine
owners to observe the law which they
invoke for the protection of their prop
erty; it wants the miners to see that
violence is only an injury to the labor
cause as well as to the whole state. It
would have the unions controlled by
men who realize their responsibility,
not only to the unions but to the citi-
zens about them of whatever class. And
if the trial of Haywood shall inculcate
a higher regard for law on both sides,
it will have been worth all il cost.
