Southern Engines
Boiler ExplodeS

Engineer George Lauderback and
Fireman w. M. Kemp were instantly
killed Saturday night, about IL O'Clock,
by the explosion of the boiler of freight
engine No. 628.
The accident occurred just beyond
Hilgirt. The noise of the explosion
was terrific. The engine was almost en-
tirely demolished, parts of it being
found three-quarters of a mile away.
The fire box was blown over $40 yards.
The fireman was torn almost into frag-
ments, while the engineer was fright
fully scalded but not mangled.
Scores of people from town went to
the scene of the accident. 1t is said the
railroad men were afraid of this engine,
as it is claimed something was wrong
with the escape valve. One engineer.
on hearing of the accident said, 81 be-
lieve it is No. $685."
The engine was a complete wreck,
even the brass bell being torn 70 splin-
te-s.

A CRAIG DAY,

The result of the democratic
primaries in Asheville and Bun
combe county last Saturday was
naturally most pleasing to MI.
Craig, one of the leading candi-
dates for the democratic guber-
Material nomination. MI. Craig
was not only unanimously en-
dorsed, but enthusiastically so,
we are told. The attendance of
SO many democrats at the primary
meetings was also a great source
of qualification to friends of the
Buncombe man. Probably not in
years has so much interest been
manifested in precinct gatherings.
Especially is this true as regards
the county precincts, says the Cit
izen. The farmers, Saturday, quit
their labors, it is said, and attend
ed almost solidly the meetings,
cheering the name of Mr.. Craig
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1908-04-09

whenever it was mentioned. Many
stirring resolutions were adopted
at the various precincts and prac-
tically all the county convention
will have to do next Saturday will
be to record the actions of the
many precincts in the county and
instruct Buncombe's delegation
to the state convention to vote for
Mr.. Craig, first, last and all the
time. Buncombe has % votes IN
the convention and these votes
Mr.. Craig will have on every bal.

household is interesting. Mr..
Roosevelt is using all the power of
his administration to bring about
the nomination of Secretary Taft
and it is believed by many that
when he realizes that his plans
cannot succeed he will undertake
to storm the convention for him
self. Roosevelt Is a mystery and
his ways are difficult of finding
out. But in the event of his NOM
nation Mr.. Bryan would stand a
splendid chance of election, as the
American people have long since
made up their mind that two terms
is long enough for one man to fill
the presidential chair. On the
| whole, we are inclined to the opin-
ion that the chances for democrat
ic success are exceedingly fatter-
ing at the November election.

THE EMPTY DINNER PAIL.

A curse of the republican party
is the echo of its campaign slogan,
''The Full Dinner PAIL" that will
not cease to reverberate through
the country. A few years ago
when prosperity was abloom and
every wind was perfume laden with
the sweet assurances of the repub-
licans that to them was due all
praise for the happy, peaceful,
prosperous times, the people were
lulled to sleep, for the industry
and commerce of the land were
growing marvelously, factories
were being established everywhere,
trade was increasing, and the din
ner pail of every man who would
work was full. The country had
been unfastened from its moorings
to depression, and prosperity, fol-
lowing upon events which where
economic and not political, such as
the discovery of the Alaskan gold
minds, was inevitable. But the
land became inflated, prosperity
was inflated, and the lords of the
dollar began to gather them in
from the countless mills through
out the land IN which labor is
squeezed to the leaness of poverty,
and is left only so much of means
as will continue an existence
enough hope still to wish to live.
"The full dinner paill" No
longer is that slogan the eloquent
appeal that weakened the heart
and kindled the enthusiasm of the
voter. Where is the full dinner
pail today? There are countless
empty dinner pals to give the lie
to the slogan, and be a constant
reminder of republican perfidy.
Mills all over the country are clos
ing down, factories are being de-
serted, and armies of working men
are helplessly idle, victims of a
republican panic. God deliver us
from prosperity if it leads to
thisl Can you not hear the cries
for bread, can you not see the
need for clothes, and do you dis
cover aught ofihope in republican
promises? The republican party
has given birth to monopolies,
nursed trusts and housed them in
tariffs, the assassins of COMPETE
ton and independence, the rob-
bers of the people and the strong
hold of piracy Is it not high
time that the American citizensy
should make its liberty something
better than a name?

THE OUTLoK ENCOURAGING.

AOAn4na61on OF william randolph
Hearst for president on the Inde-
pendence League ticket. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Hearst is determ-
ined to give trouble unless the
democratic party recognizes him
in some way, which is not prob
able, SO there is likely to be three
candidates for president in the
field this fall. Hearst has many
newspapers and ga barrel" with
which to press his claims and will
attract a large following among
certain classes in the larger cities.
The strong race he made against
Hughes for governor in the New
York campaign last year surprised
the country and has made him an
important factor in politics,
national and state. The fact is
also recalled that his friends claim
his election to the mayorality over
Mcclellan in New York City some
two years ago and continue to
charge that he was counted out"
It is pointed out by Hearst en-
thusiasts that he will capture q
large part of the labor vote, it
matters not whom the old parties
name as their candidates. 30
there you are and the result can
not be accurately forecasted.
On the other hand the interest
ing prophecy is made that Mr..
Bryan, as the democratic nominee,
would easily defeat Secretary Taft
running on the republican ticket,
It is argued that Taft will be an
tagonized bitterly by organized
labor In all the northern and east
ern states and this alone would
encompass his defeat. Bryan is
said to be popular with the labor
ing classes and, with Hearst out
of the way, "would give Taft a
run for the money" In fact
there seems to be little doubt that
MI. Bryan can defeat Secretary
Taft in any event, Hearst and his
Independence League to the con-
trary, notwithstanding. Repub-
liam leaders are beginning to real
ize this and the sentiment is al
ready beginning to change. Taft
is losing ground and Hughes stock
is rising. The general impression
among we'll informed politicians
bears us out in the opinion that
Taft will not be nominated by the
republicans on account of the an
tagonism toward him by the labor
people who are a power which
must be reconed with in the Sec
tions where their organizations
are strong and powerful.
In the meantime, Bryan and
Taft supporters continue to assem-
BILE in state conventions and shout
themselves hoarse for these favor
tie leaders and the indications
appear favorable to the nomina-
ton of each by his respective par
ty, regardless of the claims of
their opponents recited above, es-
pecially with reference to secre-
tary Taft. The Hustler sincerely
hopes MI. Taft may receive the
nomination at the republican con-
vention, because it confidently be-
lieves Mr. Bryan, whom is already
conceded will be the democratic
nominee, a defeat him, Bryan
and Aycock is the ticket we want
and we defy any one to point out
two better men than they in the
United States. This ticket met
with the approval of the North
Carolina democracy two years ago
and is good enough this year. !
