MIR. Featherstone' friend promptly

Approaching Marriage of Popular
Conle at TrYOn. N. C.

The following is a clipping
from the Spartanburg Journal,
and is of particular interest to
Hendersonville people. Mrs.
Erskine Of Tryon who is writing
a story for the September num-
Der of the Ladies Home journal
has visited in this city many
times. The announcement of the
engagement of the youngest daugh-
ter of the authoress, Miss Susie to
Mr.. Carroll Rogers, general sup
erintendent of the Skyland9Hos
iery is of great local interest to
the many friends of the young
man in this city.
"The Ladies Home journal
claims in Spartanburg a very
long list of perpetual subscribers.
These readers will learn with
more than passing interest that
the September number will con-
tain tibet opening chapters of a
new novel, ''The Mountain Maid"
by Emma Payne Erskine of Try
on, N. c.. The heroine will portray
the fine instincts and the strength
of character that mark the very
admirable class of our people who
dwell in the Blue Ridge noun
tains. That the story will be
well told is certain, as Mr.. Frs
kin has for several years made
her home among these people, and
has from her knowledge of the
! outside world learned to weigh
them in unprecedented scales.
81. Dunsan Clason, an artist on
the staff of the Home Journal,
is spending the month in Tryon,
studying scenery and types that
he may be. able to illustrate the
story.
Mrs Erskine is well known in
Spartanburg, having visited here
often with her husband, tie late
Charles Erskine of Racine, Wis.
As a musieion, as an artist, as an
authoress and as an earnest work
er in welfare works Mrs. Erskine
Identifies herself with the oest in
every community with which she
comes In contact.
"Local interest in her and in her
story is accumulated by the an
nouncement of the approaching
marriage of her youngest daugh-
ter, Susie, to Carroll Rogers, who
though his business interests have
moved him to Hendersonville
for the past few years"

feet you Ire socially ostractized
and that your most intimate asso-
ciates belong to the criminal class
es. l do not state as a reason for
your conduct, but as a matter of
fact, that, instead of ~frequenting
the social clubs of your city where
convivial gentlemen are wont to
assemble to appease their appe-

of the laws of your state which
you are under oath to conserve

sity, but from my knowledge of
the gentlemen who compose these
social clubs and from the charac-
ter of gentlemen who usually com
pose the membership of like In

part is justified that it is with
you a matter of necessity and not
of choice.
STEPPED in crime and infamy as
you are, l gravely doubt whether
you will pursue either of the
courses above indicated for a re-
dress of your grievances. Your
failure to do the one or the other
will necessarily place you in the
category of coward or thief, one

However when the opportune
time presents itself, you and
