The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1911-11-02

Hendersonville took the Boosters
meeting" in Asheville last week by
storm and her big delegation of repre-
sentative citizens made a visible i'm
preston upon the other delegates
present. This enterprising little city
has long since quit the practice of GO
ing about things in a half-handed way,
having reached the CONCLUSION that
anything worth while should be done
right. She will give the boosters a
genuine H-endersonville welcome at
their next meeting soon to be held
here.

emit want Of diligence at that time has
gone abroad the impression that the
officials, and people. generally, of Hem
dersonville-are ~suppressing known
facts connected with this fearful
crime. Newspapers all cver the oun
try have ventured the opinion that
enough evidence was brought out in
the coroner's Investigations to have
warranted the arrest of several per-
sons implicated at those hearings.
The local authorities seemed not to
agree with such a conclusion and the
matter came to an abrupt ending right
there, much to the chagrin and disap-
pointment of every man, woman and
child in He~ndersonville, excepting of
course, the few individuals who as
sisted the unfortunate victim to- a
premature grave. No reward has been
withdrawn, the people of this city are
suppressing nothing, nor is there any
disposition upon their part to let that
terrible crime go ~unavenged. 1t is
Just one of these mysterious cases
which seems to have baf1ed every
body. But the outside public does not
understand and the newspapers con-
tinue their ~unfavorable comments.
The latest is from the High Point En-
terprise which says:
while many of our own papers
have shown a desire to rush into crit
oism OF first Henry Beattie and later
Rev. Richeson for the alleged brutal
murder of two helpless women, they
have had but little to say of late on
a similar brutal tragedy occurring in
Hen~dersonville. Indeed North Caroli-
ma has had a tragedy of equal brutali-
ty-in whichfa young woman was the
victim-and to the shame and dis
grace of the State because the MUIR
derer so far has gone scot free. The
abrupt and sudden termination of the
investigation has surprised the people.
Unlike the Beattie case, this crime
does not appear to have been a coldly
.premeditated assassination, but rather
the taking of a human life in the
course of a criminal act. In this re-
spect the crime resembles that with
which Clarence Richescn, the Brook
line Baptist preacher, is charged; a
case wherein a graver crime was COM
mitted in an attempt to cover up a les
ser one. A weak, erring woman is the
victim; a weak, erring man is the STAY
er. In law the crime is foul murder
none the less than if the slayer had
lain in wait and shot the girl from am
bush. Let the North Carolina papers
get down on the case within their own
state and tell the people-what the
final report of the detectives disclos-
ed
We would kindly remind the Enter
prise that the newspapers have al
ready had their say in the matter of
the H~endersonville tragedy to which it
refers. The detectives have made no
report and there is nothing further to
be given out 1T this time. Marvellous
condition it may seem but the doing to
death of MISS Myrtle Hawkins is as
much a mystery today as when the
news of her untimely taking away was
flashed over the wires six weeks ago.
The newspapers have featured every
apparent clue that has been suggested
and further comments are unneces-
sary. Time proves all things and this
daStardly murder will yet be avenged.

SENT TO STATE HOSPITAL

John Long, alias John Stupar,
who has been at the county poor
farm since August last, was ordered
sent to the state hospital for the
insane for temporary treatment. He
was discovered by the police in a
box car in the local yards in stupid
condition, having been, it was sup
posed slugged by tramps and left IN
the car. He was on his way from
Buffalo, Cass county, and had been
working previously in Minnesota and
Wisconsin. Stupar's mental and
physical condition are both in bad
shape, and while not violent he is
very excitable and is a fit subject
for hospital treatment.
Under the new law any person
who is a nonresident of the state
cannot be formally committed to the
state hospital until the board of con-
troll has been duly notified, and in
the meantime the law does not say
what shall be done in such cases.
The only legal action that can be
taken is to notify the board of con-
troll and wait for a direction as to
the disposition of the case. The old
law provides for the support and
maintenance by the state at large OF
cases of patients who are not legal
residents of the county, but whose
condition requires them to be cared
for temporarily at least. Stupar
was sent to the state hospital, by the
direction of the county board until
such further disposition shall be
made of him as the state board OF
control may direct. When found he
had $3.50 on his person, SOC In a
pocketbook and the bills hid in his
clothes. He was sent first to the
county poor farm.

HAULING GRAIN ON NEW LINE

The Wilton-Pingree line is report
ed as practically completed and the
hauling of freight from Woodwork,
Pettibone, Vashti and other towns
along the line is now going on.
The elevators are already doing
business and getting grain that
formerly came to Pingree. Edmunds
and Sykeston. The new towns have
the usual stores, banks and elevators
and business has started in briskly
for the first year. Surfacing of the
new line will be done as fast as pos
sible and the track put III good shape
for regular passenger and freight
schedules. At present no regular
schedule is in effect, but passenger
coach will be put on the trains soon.
The new road makes it great con-
venience for farmers and residents
of that part of the state heretofore
compelled to make long hauls to
market.

Western road, was in the city Tues
day. The Great Western road is
known as the Corn Belt Route. The
company has printed upon one of it's
folders plea for proper treatment

to time on its folders, articles in
regard to stock raising, seed selec-
tion, soil culture, domestic science
and kindred subjects. Copies of the
folder may be had free from any
Chicago Great Western agent, or by
mail from A. L. Craig, G. P. A., 1139

the present folder the soils own plea
is that 1t be allowed to grow clover
every three or four years, and that
the crops produced be fed to live
stock and the refuge given back to
the land. With these two requests
the soil agrees to continue to pro-
duce bounteous crops for the tillers
a. the land and to promote their
steady prosperity.

JOKE ON THE PREACHER

A clergyman, anxious to intro
duce some new hymn books d.
rected the clerk to give out notice
in church in regard to them immed-
lately after the sermon. The clerk,
however, had a notice of his own to
give with reference to the baptism
of infants. Accordingly at the close
of the sermon, he announced: "All
those who have children they wish
baptised, please send In their names
at once = The clergyman who was
deaf, supposing that the clerk was
giving out the hymn book notice,
Immediately arose and said, "And
I want to say for the benefit OF those
who haven't any, that they may be
obtained from me any day between
three and four o'clock; the ordinary
little ones at Is cents, and the spec
ial ones with red backs at twenty
Ave cents each.''

Mayor Jackson of Williston, Does
Not Favor Sectional Exhibits

Mayor Jackson of Williston, says
the people Of North Dakota are max
ing grave mistake in splitting up
the exhibit for the state at the St.
Paul land show. He says such d.
vision will make North Dakota a sub
ject of ridicule. In proof of this he
points out the fact that Washington
and Oregon will come with exhibits
which will be hard to equal with
united force. The Red River Valley,
the Devils Lake region and the Mis-
souri, Slope League are all planning
to have exhibits Of their own and
this leaves the state exhibit to stand
alone with the support of the few
counties not connected with the
three organizations. Williams coun-
ty is one of these and the Williston
mayor is not pleased. He says Will
Jams county can take her products
from the irrigated districts and make
fine showing and it may be neces-
sary to do this in self-defense. II
am going to take this matter up and
see if we cannot get these displays
consolidated, and all join in making
an exhibit which will do the state
some good. It is no time to scat
ter our fire. We win have enough
to do to hold our own without split
ting up" says Mr.. Jackson.

Northwestern Governors
Plan to Secure Special Attention to
Resources Of North Dakota

Bismarck, Nov. lit has been
settled that Governor Burke will
make the eastern trip on the gover-
nors' train which leaves St. Paul,
November 27. While in st. Paul
last week, Superintendent Gilbreath
of the agricultural department at
the suggestion of the governor, met
the committee having the train in
charge, and learned what is expect
ed of North Dakota.
There will be ten governors in the
party representing the northwestern
states, and the special train in addi-
tion to the sleepers necessary to ac-
commodate the distinguished pas
sengers, will have four baggage cars
in which the state displays will be
made. North and South Dakota and
Minnesota will occupy the same
display car with their exhibits, while
the other states will split up to suit
their convenience. Governor Burke
will be accompanied by publicity
agent. The governor is now busy
planning an exhibit and has Superin-
tendent Gilbreath with his wide ex-
perience in full accord. These gen.
tlemen will furnish something with
which the state may well feel proud.
One feature Governor Burke will en-
phasize is the many railway lines
in North Dakota. He is having a
large map prepared showing in pro-
nounced lines every piece of rail-
way track in the state and will
leave the easterner to judge their
significance. Railway corporations
do not build lines except in territory
offering good returns on their in
vestment and many new lines are
being constructed.
The train leaves st. Paul Nov. 27,
and will be out three weeks on the
trip through the middle and eastern
states. Superintendent Gilbreath is
giving this matter his personal at
rtentioh.
