The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1910-04-21

Eugene N. Foss, recently
elected to congress from the
fourteenth Massachusetts dis
trict, a republican stronghold, as
a democrat, was escorted to the
Speakers desk some days ago by
his brother, a republican repre-
sentative from an Illinois dis
trict, to be swor n in. Their
aged mother witnessed the event
from the House gallery with pc
culiar pride. it is said. This is
the first time that brothers of
opposite political faith have ever
occupied seats in the House at
the same time.

Raleigh imposes a tax of $500

Raleigh imposes ajax of $500
on near-beer saloons. The tax
on them in Charlotte and Wilson
is $1,000. Looks like these es-
adjustments are under the ban
in some of the larger cities, and
the smaller towns would do well
to keep an eye on them. It is
too often the case that near- beer
is put on sale merely as a blind
for dispensing straight corn
liquor. Any town can get along
very well without them.

Hon. Romulus z, Linney, one
of the most prominent republi-
cans in North Carolina, died
suddenly in his law office in
TayIorsville last Friday after
noon of appoplexy. He had been
in feeble health for some time,
but his condition was not such as
to alarmthe family and the news
that he had passed away with
scarcely a moments warning
came as a great surprise. Mr.
Linney was a very able lawyer
and a political debater of adj
mitted ability. He was a brave

nor Kitchin appointed George ?.
Pell; Esq, of the Winston-Selem
bar as Superior Court judge of
the Eleventh Judicial district, to
succeed Judge Erastus B. Jones,
resigned. 1t is claimed that Mr..
Pell was not an applicant for the
place and will not be a candidate
for the nomination before the
district convention. The spirited
contest between applicants for
this appointment caused the
Governor to take the course e1he
has in the matter and we think
he has done well in selecting Mr..
Pell, who is worthy of the honor
and competent to fill the place
acceptably. In our opinion, the
Governor has not done a hand
somer'' thing during his admin
stration. Mr.. Pell is a graduate
of the Georgetown University
Law School of the District of
Columbia, and has the reputa-
ton of being learned in the law.
He is the author of "Pell's Re-
visal of North Carolina" which
is considered by the bar and
court justices of the State as one
of the most valuable law books
ever published in North Caro-
lima. The Hustler takes pecu-
liar pride and satisfaction in con-
graduating Judge Pell.

THOSE HIGHWAYS.

great highways contemplated
from Charlotte to Knoxville.
Spartanburg and G~reenyille to
Asheville and Hendersonyille to
Bat Cave. The completion of
these projects would make Hen
Jacksonville the center of a net
work of important thoroughfares,
as each of the highways must,
of necessity, pass through this
city or some portion of the
county. Although six miles of
the Charlotte Asheville Knox
vile road will be across the
northeast corner of the county,
it should be of considerable
value, inasmuch as a branch line
is projected from Bat Cave to
Hendersonville, a distance of
about fifteen miles, connecting
with the MISUNDERSTANDING
Greenville roads at this point.
1t is said that the counties of
Buncombe and Rutherford have
already arranged to construct
their portions of the Asheville-
Knoxville line and Henderson
county is expected to build that
six miles through Edneyville
township, or the larger part of
it. We can but believe that this
county will doits full share to-
wards the construction of any of
the proposed lines within it's
borders when the people fully
realize the value of them to this
section,
1t is encouraging to note that
the construction of the highway
from Asheville to Spartanburg,
through Hendersonville, is al
ready seriously considered by the
road and county commissioners
of Buncombe, Henderson, Spar
and Polk counties. Also,
is said, Buncombe county has
agreed already to construct the
road to the county line provided
Henderson will carry it Through
to the meeting point between
Hendersonville and Spartanburg,
thus connecting with the New
York-Atlanta highway at Spar
A preliminary survey
of these lines is soon to be made
by competent road engineers,
the direction of the North
Geological and Economic
Survey, who will decide upon the
most feasible routes through
each township or county inter-
ested. This will depend largely
upon the financial encouragement
by each section and it be
hooves the authorities to be on
The value these high
ways would be to our people can
not easily be estimated; it is an
opportunity for betterment that
we must not let pass unheeded.
It is needless to argue that
every inhabitant ola community,
from the highest to the lowest
taxpayer, will receive direct or
indirect benefit from the con-
o. improved public

IHE COOPER CASE.

vi t1G GuICO11o1 UOOIAoAASO0 " Wy
newspapers has been a general
condemnation of the hagitious
handling of the pardoning
power, as it now lies, in the
hands of the chief executives of
the various states.
The latest storm has been
precipitated by the cancellation
of the orders of all the consti-
tuted court authorities of the
state of Tennessee, in the case
of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
who murdered Senator Carmack.
This case is too well-known to
need retelling, but the instance
serves to illustrate the errors
that may be, and frequently
are, committed by Governors, as
well as lesser lights.
There was no doubt about the
commission of the crime
whether or not there were ex-
tenuating circumstances was for
the courts to decide. The courts
decided that there were none to
entitle Colonel Cooper to a less
sentence, than the one imposed
twenty years's Imprisonment.
Yet, in the face of this, he is
pardoned. and turned loose in a
community that well knows that,
he will stop at nothing to gain
his ends.
1t appears to us that when a
court, or a series of courts, as
was the case in this instance,
has been constitutionally estab-
lshed for the purpose of investi-
eating crime, and following up
the provisions of the law, has
covered the case and pronounced
sentence, it is the height of in
consistency and Numerically
opposed to the principles of al
staple government, for a COVER
nor or any other official clothed
with the power to set at naught
the conclusions of the trial Judge
and jury. Add to this the con-
clusions of the judges of the
supreme court of the state, and
such action is preposterous.
The Judge and jury have heard
evidence and argument, pro and
con-. that a governor never has
the opportunity to hear. Claims
on their sympathy are not per-
missable in open court to any
thing like the extent they are
before a pardoning official. hence
the case is decided on it's merits.
The purport of our whole con-
stitutional fabric is that all per-
sons shall be treated alike.
Wherein is this principle carried
out if a man of wealth and
prominence gets off scot free,
while a man, poor and obscure,
convicted of the same crime,
goes to Jail, to the penitentary,
or perhaps to the electric chair?
This is the very thing that is
likely to happen under the
arrangement now in force.
In the Cooper case, as we see
1t, there was not, andis not now,
any reason why the sentence of
the court should not be carried
out. If it is true, as has been
reported, that the pardon was
written in anticipation of the SUI
preme courts decision If crnatas

There are indications that the taste
for bullfghting is on the wane in
Spain, The change might be more rap
id but for the extent to which the spec
tacle is patronized by visitors, of
whom, according to Rafael Shaw in
"Spain From Within" the English are
the worst offenders. Il have been
told" he says, that one bull ring close
to Gibraltar is practically kept going
by the English spectators. I know
that English men and English women

During the latter half of the eleventh
century pilgrims to Jerusalem began
to be prosecuted by the Turks or Sara
Gems then in possession of the Holy
Land. Nine noble knights formed a
brotherhood with the object of protect
ing the pilgrims. The cause spread
rapidly over Europe and the knights
grew to legiOns in number. Vows Of
chastity, obedience and poverty were
taken, and the order, from merely
protecting the pilgrims, took upon it
self the task of recovering the Holy
Land from the grip of the infidels.
About 1920 they were given place in
the Enclosure of the temple on Mount
Moriah, and hence the name Templars,
or Knights Of the Temple Of Solomon.

Dear Sir:
Miss Gertrude Weidenfeller, teacher
of the 9Th and 9th grades in the 2nd
ward, has sixty pupils and Miss Rose
Dunbar, teacher of the 5th and 9th
grades in the 4th ward, has but forty.
Miss Weidenfeller cannot do good work
with SO many.
We feel that rather than put the
district to the expense of procuring
extra help it would be better to ask a
few parents living nearest the 4th ward
school to send their children to Miss
Dunbar instead of to Miss Weidenfeller
while the crowded condition lasts in the
second ward.
We are, therefore, asking the follow
ing parents to kindly help us to relieve
the present situation by sending to the
4th ward those children who now at
tend school in the 9Th and 9th grades in
the end ward: William Brown, Alonzo
Jacka, William White, Leslie Ross,
DR.. w. g. Hales, Alois Burghardt,

necessity of making any change, also
assuring you that your children will

and thanking you in advance for your
compliance with the necessary request
we beg to remain, very sincerely yours,
