PRISONERS MAKE
A SAFE GETAWAY


Five prisoners, all of a real
dark complexion, guests of
Sheriff Blackwell left the sher-
ifs hotel last Friday night
without paying their board bill
and forgetting to leave their
future address. But. one, a
preacher, has returned so far,
and he was met at Saluda and
urgently requested to come back.
He complied with the request.
The sheriff had gone upstairs
to give his guests their usual
sumptuous evening repast. He
entered the room, his son, a boy
of about Is, following with a big
tray laden with the delicacies Of
the season. The prisoners jump
ed on the Sheriff and held him,
one of them kicking the tray
from the boys hand. Sheriff
Blackwell is a powerful man, and
only after a terrific struggle did
they succeed in overpowering
him and taking his keys and
pistol. During the fight the
Sheriff bit a large piece of flesh
from the hand of the niger who
was trying to stif1e his cries for
help. The five rushed down the
stairs, the Sheriff after them.
He procured his shot gun and
prevented the other prisoners
from escaping, but the five, less
the preacher, are still at large.

Business Men Of Hendersonville Believe
The Road viii Be Profitable and Be
of Greatest Possible Benefit to Town.
The Road Will Be Built, Without a
Doubt and Then watch Us Grow!
WOULD TRAVERSE. A SECTION Of UNRVALLED BEAUTY

The news of the proposed elec-
trio belt line railroad, published
in the Hustler, exclusively, last
week, has created more interest
in town than anything which has
happened here for many moons
past.
The consensus of opinion of
Hendersonville's most progress
sive business men is that such a
road would be of the greatest
possible benefit to the town and
the promoters should be given
every encouragement possible.
A modern, we'll equipped cleo
trio railroad, touching beautiful
Laurel Park, Kanuga Lake, Os-
ceola Lake, Columbia Park, down
Main street to the depot, render
ing these beautiful parts of the
city almost as accessible as the
Court House now is, would mean
an added population of many
thousands to the town and an
added interest and attractiveness
which may hardly be expressed
in terms of dollars and cents.
Altho' absolutely no confrma-
tion can be obtained from the
promoters of the big project, it
IS definitely known that the plans
are now being made.
It is known that such q road
would be financially profitable
for at least a part of the year.
and would give HendersonviIIe
and attraction which would be
unique.

this town as a summer resort.

tials, much advertising matter,
and may be said to represent, in
every sense, the Town of Hen
dersonville.

nearly at their worst. Trains in
stead of running direct to Colum-
bia and Charleston were diverted
at Spartanburg, run north east
to Charlotte, thence south to
Columbia, doubling the distance
and requiring an over night
journey with extra expense for
sleeping car in order to reach
Columbia, which is a little over
half way to Charleston. At
Columbia, passengers were either
transferred to the Atlantic Coast
Line or switched off south west
via Blackwell, making another
roundabout and tedious journey" !"
Between Laurens and Columbia
both races rode in the same
coach. X
Statements from local business
men and newspaper clippings
were enclosed to the Commission.
AS the railroad eontended that
it's transportation facilities were
such as to constitute a through
line" on Sept. 1st, and as such
justifying them in forcing hold
ers of excursion tickets to take
passage on that day or forfeit
their tickets, the Commission
was urged to examine the rail-
roads reports and records of
disaster, destruction of track and
demoralized train service from
Aug. Is to Sept. 10. Mr.. Curtis
contended the excursion ticket
was bought with the understand
ing that the return trip would be
made under the same safe con-
ditions that were experienced in
coming here, and that the COM
pany being unable to, fulfill its
obligations as a carrier on Sept.
1st, that the purchaser had a
right to remain here until it was
so able. He cited the Commis-
sion to the fact that the Atlantic
Coast Line issued the same form
of limited ticket, but extended
their tickets for two weeks from
Sept. first.
And here's another point:
How much money did the
Southern and the Pullman Com
pany collect from those excur-
sionists who did leave on Sept.
1st for sleeping car accommo-
dations; an expense, which, un-
der ordinary conditions of travel
the excursionists would not have
been obliged to incur?
And also this:
Is not this additional expense
recoverable by law?

THE SUMNER VISITOR
AND THE SOUTHERN RY.

Mr.. F. E. Curtis has contested
and won a case against the
Southern Railway involving an
important principle in connec-
ton with Hendersonville's sum-
mer business. It was presented
to the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington and
it was done clearly and forcibly.
Here is the case:
Your railroad ticket expires on
a certain date; the railroad COM
pany is unable to return you to
your destination, safely, directly,
with the usual accommodations,
without additional expense to
you; is the company obliged to
extend the time limit of your
ticket?
Or, are you obliged. in order
to utilize your ticket within its
time limit, to accept what accom-
modations the railroad offers,
suffer danger, discomfort. and
incur additional expense for
sleeping car OF hotel accommo-
dations?
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission says, briefly, but en-
phatically, that you don't!-that
the railroad must extend the
time limit of your ticket until
such time as it is able to carry
you safely, directly and with
approximately the usual accom-
modations.
Hundreds of excursionists
came here last Simmer on tickets
which expired on Sept. LIST. On
that date owing to the heavy
rains, every kind of service on
all the. railroads in both the
Carolinas was demoralized.
Bridges and trestles were under
mined or washed away-in some
sections ten inches of rain fell
during the week and travel was
admittedly dangerous.
A guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Cur
It's came here from Charleston on
an excursion, the time limit of
her ticket expiring on Sept. 1st.
Being an elderly lady, in delicate
health, she wished to wait until
travel over the Southern's tracks
was perfectly safe. Application
at the local ticket office for an
extension of her ticket was re-
fused. Mr.. Curtis then took the
matter up with the Southern
officials at Washington. who
claimed the Interstate Commerce
Commission prohibited them ex-
tending the ticket except for
