ONE WOMAN's WORK.

In the death of Mrs. Joseph Bryan, Richmond
and the State of Virginia suffer the loss of a
conspicuous example of that type of noble wo-
men whose life is service and whose Inspiration
is love. She was one of those who saw needs and
met them, who dispensed enthusiasm and created
courage, who looked always TO the end and never
to the magnitude of undertaking. Blessed with
every opportunity of life of ease she convert.

dowed with talents, she used them for the people
of her city, her State, and the individuals ever
discovered by her always eager eye. She was
the living answer TO the complaint of women
for work to do: she found her work and did it,
in all sweetness and modesty. somewhat better

While Mrs. Bryan lived, there was always the
chance that the undreamed opportunity would
come mysteriously like the gift of some fairy

in that home the new hope that springs from

Bryan's memory green, that after all the public
memorials to her work will most intimately sur
vive in human hearts to recall the blessing of

CHAMBER AND HIS "DIyAn.

Robert Winthrop Chanler poses as an artist, at
such times as he is not disclosed as fool. Late
~ the finale of his romance with the Cayalieri
has caused the latter role to utterly swallow the
former. Sheriff Bob, the bleating victim of
transparent fraud on womanhood, is that patent
sort of idiot which negatives pity with disgust.
We are not Of those who indulge in general de-
nunciaton of the stage. The drama is one
of the highest expressions of life; its inter
probation of the most difficult and inspired
forms of art. The great actor or actress is as
clearly one apart as the great soldier states
man. And in the gradations from greatness in
the profession are to be found many worthy men
and women of talent working with enthusiasm
and intelligence in the furtherance of clean and
useful purpose. 1t is those who under the name of
the stage, use the imitation of high art to the
ends of sordid purpose, who bring the stage"
into disrepute.
In other lines of effort in which the world is
more vitality interested the charlatans have been
in great measure discovered. The cheat is find

and trembles secretly in his pious walk But
because the stage is not vital, because it is
close corporation because its followers form in
a sense false caste, the world does not always
do justice 1t fails to discriminate. 1t fails to
separate the bad from tho good. 1t fails to
distinguish the fact that, between the outcast
woman of the streets and the outcast woman of
the stage, there is no distinction except in the
character of the game they hunt.
Consider this Lima Cavalieri, touted and adj
vertised as the "most beautiful woman in the
world. Born in the sewers Of Rome, picked
off the street for plaything of degenerate men,

Officer J. D. Leach was proba-
bly, fatally shot, last night, at
Green River, by Charles Morgan,
as he was about to arrest him for
disturbing religious services IN
the church near the Green River.

The wounded officer was taken
to the Mission hospital, Asheyille,
this morning, on the early train.
1t is believed the wound will be
fatal. Morgan escaped and is
still at large. One of his com
panions, Charles Ward, is in the
county Jail.
1t appears that a crowd Of boys
and young men from up the river
entered the church last night and
raised q disturbance. Officers
were sent for,and on their appear
ance the crowd left. Soon re-
turning, however, the row was
continued, guns were drawn but
no shots fired.

building and as the officers at

Hendersonville as Summer Capital


The Columbia State recently
suggested that President Taft sell
ect Hehdersonville as the summer
capital Of the United States-a
very sensible and kindly sugges-
ton indeed.
Should the country's chief ex-
ecutive decide to act on the States
suggestion, he has only, we are
sure, to indicate which one
of the many superb country homes
IN this county he desires and it
will be turned over to him absol-
utely without any expense to the
United States treasury or to HIM
self.
The Charlotte Observer in COM
menting on the States excellent
says:
For timeIness few suggestions
could surpass one recently appear
ing In The Columbia State to the
effect that President Taft Should
select Hendersonville as the sum-
mer capital for 1911. It will be
recalled that the lady who, owns
the cottage at Beverly which has
understudied the White House
during the past few months has
declined to renew the lease, this
necessitating a move of some kind.
Why not take advantage of this
necessity and transfer the center
of next summers activities to the
most delightful mountain region
in Americas We heartily endorse
our contemporaries suggestion.
As is to be expected The State
does not let slip the opportunity
to take a shot at this city, but In
$50 doing is somewhat unusually
frank. Noting as one of the at
fractions of Hendersonville that
it is near Flat Rock and remote
from Charlotte, it adds:
Zone may not easily come to
Hendersonville from Charlotte
without travelling about Is miles
through South Carolina, which is
a purifying and Christening infu-
ence for a Charlotte man."
Exactly what is connoted by
purifying" in this sentence we
confess we do not know. Few res
idents of this section, however,
will fail to be in sympathy with
the States use of Christening"
Like all other chastenings, more
over, this of the long. dull trip
through the neighboring Common
wealth carries with it its own bless
ing in that when one returns to
Tar Heel soil there is apt to be a
keener appreciation Of the inestm-
able privilege of residence In
North Carolina.

Part Of stolen Jewelry Received.

w. Fl. Hawkins, Henderson
vile S popular jeweler has located
q portion of his stolen goods
taken from his store last Au-
gust LIST. A warrant was served
on a paWnbroker IN Spartanburg
yesterday for the recovery of a
very fine watch In his possession
valued at $175. Hyman August
is charged with being a fugitive
from justice.
Mr.. Hawkins stated to a Herald
reporter that he expected to have
the necessary papers from Cover
nor Kitchins Office for his man and
the case would be pushed to the
full extent of the law.
The following was taken from
yesterdays issue of the Spartan
burg Herald;
Following the receipt here yes
terday of a bench warrant from
Hendersonvile, N. c., charging
Lyman August, proprietor of the
New York Loan Office, No. 134
East Main street, with grand lar
cency, Alexander Femming, ser
geant of police, swore out a war
rant against August, charging
him with being a fugitive from
justice.
This is the aftermath of the re-
covery from August last week,
through legal proceedings, of a
watch valued at SITS, which, with
other jewellery worth more than
$1,000, was stolen from the store
of w. q. Hawkins & Son in Hen
ersonvile on the night of August
/, last.
August will be taken today be-
fore Magistrate S. M. Wetmore
and given an opportunity to fur
nish bond for his release, pend
ing his extradition to North Caro-
lima. The governor of North
Carolina will be given twenty
days, under the laws. of this state,
in which to apply to the governor
of South Carolina for the extra
dition of August. If requisition
papers do not come here within
that time August will be freed.
It vii be recalled that August
explained his having the stolen
watch in his possession by saying
he bought it for $45 on the Bow
: cry in New York on August Z, s
or 8; he was not sure of the
exact date. His explanation did
not satisfy the HendersonYile
people, who will endeavor to
show that he was not in New
York on these dates.
The watch was identified by the
number placed on it by the Haw-
kins firm in repairing it. 1t is
owned by NJ. King, a wealthy
resident of Seneca who has a
summer home at Flat Rock, near
Hendersonville.
The North Carolina warrant
was issued by MI. Pace, clerk of
court at Hendersonville, by the
direction of the judge presiding
over court there.
Samuel j. Nichols is August Is
attorney.
