a MOTHER GONE NOME
laRs. CUMMINGS DEAD

Saturday afternoon, April Sth, at one
o'clQ1k Mrs. D. j. Cummings passed.
away at the Stein hospital.
: Mrs. Cummings had not been well for
several years and, since her attack of
pneumonia little over a year ago and
Mr.. Cummings death at the same time,
she has been more of an invalid. Dur
ing the past winter she has failed
gradually and month ago suffered an
acute attack of heart trouble from which
she never rallied. Ten days before her
death she was taken to the Stein hospi-
tai in hope that experienced care and
quiet would accomplish her recovery.
She, however. showed no improvement
and became unconscious Sunday, April
2. After this time, she gradually grew
weaker. She rallied little Wednesday
and Thursday and recognized her family
but all friday and Saturday she neither
moved nor spoke.
Death resulted from heart trouble and
a nervous breakdown. caused by griev-
ing over the loss of her husband, and
worry over the sickness and continued
ill health of some Of her children.
Jane C. Stewart was born March 81,
1860. at Lochaber. Nova Scotia, and was
married to Duncan J. Cummings June
II. 1883. The early years of her married
life were spent in Dickinson where her
oldest son. Stewart. was born. The
family went back east for several years.
residing in Nova Scotia and Boston, and
returned to Dickinson again May Is,

her home and family and never happier
then when ministerins to them and not
seeming to desire to seek pleasure out
side the family circle. yet she made
warm friends everywhere. She was q
member Of the Presbyterian church In
the east.

Soon, - Veigel's Appoint
mentM Means Good Roads.

The meeting 81: the county board list
week was attended with many imnor-
tant matters which will mean consider
able to the people.
Bearing directly on the finances of
the county was the final arrangement
with Wells & Dickey of Minneapolis
for the sale Of $27.oo worth Of bonds
bearing five per cent interest. The COM
pany was designated as the successful
bidders last fall for $50, 900 worth of
bonds, but after looking into the matter
more thoroughly, the firm apparently
wanted to find way OF getting out of
taking 50 large, a block. A certified
check of 81. 600 was in the hands of the
board and it became necessary for
Wells g. Dickey to show good reason
why they could not fulfill the contract.
This they did on account Of irreeulari-
ties in the issuing Of county warrants
prior to 1910. To checkmate this OBJ
lection. Treasurer Kilmer arranged TO
take up all outstanding warrants issued
prior to 1910. He was able to do this
with the proceeds Of taxes collected
since last fall. This action removed
one of the Wells & Dickey objections
and the firm finally agreed to take ST.
600 worth Of bonds.
The board expects to realize some
over $50. 900 from surety companies on
account of forgeries during the eight
years prior toI91o, and the treasurer is
now redeeming about $21. 900 worth of
outstanding warrants with current tax
receipts and will be able to make an
other call of warrants very soon.
Thus the county will be practically
on a cash basis, within a month if
all the sums of money come along as
expected.
The present floating Indebtedness is
something like $40, 600. In this connec-
tion there are about S22. 900 in uncol-
lected 1910 taxes. about $40, 900 being
in the city of Dickinson. This is quite
a little increase in delinquencies over
year ago, and ls taken to indicate
that money is closer than at this time
a year ago.
The new tax penalties are not quite
as great as formerly. the rate being five
per cent March I, two per cent June
I and three per cent November l,
total of 10 per cent. against IA per cent
under the old law or 10K per cent if
figured by the year.
The appointment Of W. X. Veigel. as
county superintendent of highways, is
looked upon as starter for better roads
in the county. The creation of this
new Office abolishes the Office of all road
supervisors appointed in January. Mr..
Veieel has the right to appoint deputies
as he sees fit and it may be that he
will appoint some of the old supervisors.
1t will take some time to get road mat
ters under way and the new superin-
tendent may not be able to accomplish
SO very much this year. All work will
be planned along lines of permanency
and to the greatest good Of the greatest
number. The work that is done will
be well done.

UNITY OF PURPOSE NECES
SARY TO GREAT MOVEMENTS.

The following address was de-
livered last. Tuesday evening by
Mr.. NJ. L. Shipman before the an
nual meeting of the North, Caro-
lima Good Roads Association
which convened in Winston-Sal-
EN- on Monday 18th:
Mr.. President and members of
the North Carolina Good Roads
Associations:
Unity Of purpose, necessary to
the success of every great and
beneficial movement affecting the
welfare of a people, is certainly
essential In road construction.
Next to actually having the good
roads the most important phase Of
the good roads problem is a well
defined public sentiment for unity
of purpose In their construction.
Such a public sentiment in this
state would mean the dawn Of q
good roads millennium in North
Carolina, and it is coming right
along.
Many there are who already see
in the Wilmington-Char the
Charlotte-Asheville highways, and
the proposed Central Highway
stretching clear across the State
from Beaufort and Morehead
City to the Tennessee line, a
cheering sign of this unity Of
purpose, and who point to the
New York-Atlanta highway as a
still more encouraging indication
of the rapid growth and spread of
an idea which means a very great
deal for the public roads of this
State and country.
The potential value of unity of
purpose in road construction is
best exemplifed, possibly, in the
four instances referred to. In
the Asheville- Charlotte, the VIII
mington- Charlotte and the Cen
trail Highway projects, the peo-
pie of many different counties, in
widely separated sections, are
working in unity for the construc-
tion of highways which shall be
Of vast benefit to them all In the
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1911-06-15

New York-Atlanta highway we
see the same idea carried further
towards It's logical conclusion,
which is National Highway,
stretching from sea to sea, with
numberless and far-thrown arms,
IN the building of which great
people will typify the true mean
ing of unity of purpose for all
time to come.
The consummation Of these four
great highways projected will
mark an epoch in the history
of the State and show result
greatly to be desired by advo-
Gates of better roads for the en-
tire, State. | have been advoeat-
ing such a policy in road con
struction for some years, as the
following extract from an ad-
dress delivered by me before the
Southern Appalachian Good
Roads Association, held in the
city of Asheville, October 81,
1909, will Indicate:
Suppose the State were the
first to, commit itself to a great
mountain-to-the-sea turnpike, be-
ginning, say, at. Asheville and
terminating at Whmington2 Sup
pose that to encourage the con-
struction of feeders to this great
arterial highway it were to issue
its bonds in adequate amount,
and deposit them with the State
Treasurer to be delivered in pro-
portion to bonds issued by the
several counties for roads within
their borders, planned and sur
veyed In accordance with the
comprehensive suggestion and
advice of an expert and far-see-
ing highway commissions Would
not such a plan stir the local
pride In each county F'eev Would
there not be rush on the part
of the people to obtain their pro-
portienal benefit of that for
which they would be proportion

ner Of means, if reports are true,
that this is all the whiskey that is
stored IN this town. What the
outcome will be at the trial next
Friday, and what disposition will
be made of the seized goods, no
one seems to be able to give the
least idea. It is said the owners
of the liquor expect to be allowed
to ship it out of town without OBJ
lection from the authorities, which
some think would be the easiest
way to dispose of the matter.
Others, however, are Of quite
different opinion and freely ex-
press themselves as being in favor
iof the whiskey being disposed of
the same way Asheville did some
days ago, by dumping it into the
river, and If the owners of the
.whiskey want to fight it out in
the court, let them proceed.
We understand that a. plum
Der in this town told it ON the
streets that he had been employed
for some time in doing lot of
work in the basement Of the store
room where the goods were found,
and the place had al the appear
ance of being arranged for a first
class har room

The Palace Theatre

The Palace theater which was
opened up for the season last week
has received a very fattering pa
tronage and the management feels
sure that they are pleasing the
pleasure goers in HendersonVille.
The show is of the very highest
type and is said to be as good as
any electric theater in larger
cities.
The eight piece orchestra has
added much to the attraction of
the place. Several nights last
week people were turned away
until the crowds witnessing the
performances could make way
for the outsiders.
The ventilation has been great
ly improved making it now one of
the most comfortable theaters In

BETWEEN $1,000 AND $4,000
WORTH OF WH|SKEY SEIZED

Under the authority Of town
ordinance passed by the commits
sioners last Friday night, police
officers Garren and Maxwell on
last Monday afternoon made, a
raid upon the old Wilson store
which has been unoccupied for the
past few months, and found i9
the rear end of the building a
large quantity of Whiskey, wine
and beer. There was 200 barrels
of beer, three barrels of whiskey3
"a lot of champagne and other case
goods, the whole amount conser
edly estimated to be worth about
81 900 or $4,000.
No opposition was offered the
officers when they demanded adj
mittance, although at one tine
there seemed likelihood of siren
uous opposition. The place was
in charge of O. N. Carson, who,
however, is but the agent of Others,
said to be well known Ashevile IL

and is under heavy bond for bis
appearance before Mayor Staten
