Editor Herald,

GO1GOI AGIdlu,
In view of the great interest
manifested in this county upon
the subject of good roads, may I
ask the Herald to publish the fol-
lowing extract from a speech Of
mine, and also the letter Of Super
visor Patton.
My good friend Mr.. Patton
takes issue with me in relation to
the cost Of the convict force in
this county.
My estimate of the cost was not
based on an actual examination OF
the county records, but on the
statement Of one of the county
commissioners, Mr.. Jno. Station.
Mr.. Patton insists that the esti-
mate made is too high and that the
entire cost of maintaining the con-
Wet force, does not exceed $5OOO.-
90 per annum.
It is impossible for me at this
time to verify the figures Of Mr..
Patton.
But I hope to do so in the near
future.
In the meantime I do not wish
to be understood as f~avoring the
abolition of the present chain
gang.
That is as yet with me an open
question, and should be consider
ed very carefully, before final ac-
ton is had.
Very truly yours
II. G.. EWART.

are now showing one Of the finest
displays Of marble and tomb
stones ever shown In this section.
They have almost every design
imaginable, and can furnish
quickly anything not shown In
their stock. Their yard is just
back Of the Postofice building,
and they invite everyone to call
and look over their display,
which is well worth a visit to the
yard. While this concern has
only been in Martinsvile for a
short while, Mr.. Upton states
that he has already sold many
large orders, a number of them
outside the State, and it is safe to
say that the Martinsvile Marble
Works can be counted upon as
an established institution, ready
at al times to furnish the people
up-to-date work at. city prices

The Strange Folk at Pine Grove
Lodge.

"The night is Halloween n, Janet,
The morn is Hallowday."
OF course you know that on Hal
lowe EN-, or the eve of All Saints
day, witches, fairies and imps of
all kinds are especially active.
You know it for on Monday night
was not Main street plum full of
the strangest, most outlandish folk
you ever saw? And if they were
not imps and fairies and witches,
what were theye Answer that if
you can!
Where they came from, the air,
the bowels of the earth, or the
caves in the mountains surround
ing Hendersonville, no one knows,
but they were certainly seen by
many ordinarily respectable and
law-abiding people who are not
generally given to seeing strange
sights on Main street at Night.
The Pine Grove Lodge was
crowded with the strange visitors
and many average citizens gather
ed to witnes stheir strange rites
and ceremonies, until over two
hundred laughing, merry people
were in the big building. and
everyone had a jolly good time.
You can take that straight!
The witches and fairies came In
response to an invitation from
Miss Jessie Roper, on behalf of
the Woman's Auxiliary of st.
James Episcopal church. They
were cordially welcomed by that
lady and Rev. r. N. Wilcox, and
soon the Pine Grove Lodge was
the scene of those time-honored
games which have always ushered
in AL Saints day. There were
many strange costumes there, sure,
the strangest and most successful
of them, possibly, being those worn
by Mr.. Viii Twyford and Miss
Irene Wetmur. This young lady
kept her identity concealed until
she was ready to reveal it, and as
for Mr. Twyford, why, in his ex-
cellent make up as a young girl
even his own grandmother, who
was present, did not know him.
The refreshments of ice cream,
cake, sandwiches, etc, were excel
lent and were partaken Of liberal
ly by a hungry crowd. Miss Zoe
Wetmur told many strange for
tunes, as did Miss Sue Farmer.

in his hands and pitched forward

The combination printing plant
and editorial sanctum was silent

How They surmise It.

The HendersonviIle Herald was
put entirely out of business for
four days last week on account Of

We are confident that The Herald
employed the enforced vacation in
meditating on the pleasures which
are In store for it when the time
for our visit arrives.-Charlotte

Many Attractive Offerings in the
Stores.

Hendersonville stores have all a
most attractive line of fall mer-
chandise on exhibition just now:
The progressive business men OF
this growing town each year pay
larger and better stocks and rlghI
now their lines will compare with I
those of any stores in this part Oh
the state. It is absurd for anyone
to go outside of HendersonVlile
for their winter clothing or, II
fact, for most anything eye the$.
need. The chances are. that thss
may buy just what hsNheeashers'
and at a decided saving What the!.
would pay elsewhere.

nation as to the cause of the delay
was speedily refuted. The Mongolia
had record cargo of 1880 tons on
board and consequently made the trip
across in longer time than usual The
cargo consists mainly of government
stores for Manila, of which there are
1900 tons measurement, mainly grain
and hay This cargo is the largest
taken out of San Francisco by any yes
sci for years past, and is a record for
the Mongolia, though during the war
full cargoes were comparatively COM
monplace. In addition to the large
cargo, the Mongolia has a heavy pas
senger list, there being $50 cabin pas
sengers and 500 in the storage. OF
the passengers So are for Honolulu, SO
for Hongkong, as for Manila, "a for
Yokohama, 10 for Nagasaki and four
for Kobe. Passengers we'll known on
the coast include Commander William
G. Miller, U. S. NJ, MIR. and Mrs. Jas
r. Edmonds, Miss Ada Rhoades, II. NJ
Tuska, DIR. o. G. Hertzog, Major c. j.
Kinder, A. Bolglond, and NJ. Adams.
1t is something of coincidence that
the Mongolia should be delayed this
trip as Captain Henry e. Morton has
resumed command. On Captain kits
first trip the Mongolia went ashore in
Japan, and though there has been
nothing in the nature o. a mishap on
this trip, it was remarked as strange
that there should be delay on Captain
Mortons first trip after his leave.
Shortly before the Mongolia left San
in the engineer force. This, it is claim
ed, was due to the fact that the Mon
golia made slow time on her last
voyage to the Coast from the Far
East. Chief Engineer Thomas Sawdon
has been succeeded by T. F. Sullivan,
former chief on the liner China, and
all the way down the line new assist.
ant engineers have been appointed to
all the places of those who were hit
with the same ak that decapitated the
chief.

CLARK CASE TO
FEDERAL COURT

The case of Harry Clark, who has
been ordered by Judge Cooper to an
swer certain questions put to him by
the Grand jury, will it is said, be
taken to the Federal court, on a writ
of habeas corpus. If Clark again re-
fuses to answer, Judge Cooper will
sentence HIM for contempt, Then a
writ of habeas corpus will be asked
for in the federal court, which will
bring the question up for review by a
federal Judge The main point at is
sue is as to whether the questions
which Clark refuses to answer are
such as it might incriminate him to
answer, Judge Cooper having ruled
that the answers could not be incrim-
mating.
