always combined to keep the people

We read in history of those bloody

one class. The mobiles and the priests
constituted this dominant caste.
Only they could hold office. Only
they could reach promotion. They
alone possessed wealth.

Mr.. Albert Cannon,

My dear Mr.. Cannon:
/ have the honor to acknowledge tue
receipt of your letter of the 18th in
slant, and wish to thank You very
much for the information contained
therein.
My trip on the upper French Broad
was for the purpose of making a pre-
liminary examination only, in order to
see whether or not survey was war
ranted on the ground of improvement
for navigation. Under the terms of
the direction of Congress was not
authorized to make a survey, and con-
sequently regret that am unable to
furnish you with map, as request

the Geological Survey, Washington, D.

not believe that anything that could
be done in the way of clearing of
snags or overhanging trees, or excav-
ating at Big Buck Shoals. would have
any appreciate effect. The high
water discharge, at Asheville is over
10000 cubic feet per second-more
than so times the low-water discharge
and think the ratio between high
and low water discharge in the vicin-
itys OF Horse Shoe is at least as great.
l. thing an estimate of 1900 cubic feet
per second for the high water dis
charge at Horse Shoe would be con-
| sentative. If the total width between
banks be taken as 100 feet, and the
! total height of banks at 10 feet, this
will give discharge area between
banks of 1900 square feet. In order
for $4,000 cubic IT. per second to pass
through this area you will readily see
that the average velocity would have
to be 10 feet per second The slope
existing is not sufficient to give this
velocity, consequent the banks are
bound to be overflowed. The actual

Democratic newspapers have the
courage to point out errors committed
by representatives of their party in
public life and demand their correc-
ton. Not so with the republican
press, which has permitted the pension
outrage to go on all these years
without a word of protest. Why have
they not been telling the people that
their party has played the coward in
it's pension policy for the past forty
years? And did so by supporting the
Sherwood bill?
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1911-12-28

OF course, we regret that the demo-
Gratis in the House did not put quiet
us on the Sherwood pension bill, but. it
comes with poor grace from the repub-
ican press to ;criticise them for not
doing SO. Republican editors should
first remove the mote from their own
eyes before attempting to extract any
beams fro .mthe eyes of democrats.
They are estopped from uttering even
word of protest.

One hundred and fifty-three repub-
licans supported the Sherwood pen
sion bill and eight opposed it. On the
democratic side, 143 either voted for it,
or remained silent, and eightyzfour
put themselves on thesroIl against It
This is the record, and the republican
press is PERFECTLY welcome to any con-
ISOLATION it may be able to extract from
the result. We are inclined to the
opinion that it is one of those cases
wherein the kettle cannot, consistent

velocity given by the slope in the sec
ton from Brevard to Big Buch SEoals
is only about 3. feet per second, and
with 1O-foot banks 150' feet apart,
only $500 cubic feet per second could
be discharged between banks, In
many places between Brevard and the
head of Big Buck Shoals the banks
are only 80 to 100 feet apart; which
would make conditions still worse. In
short. the, conditions which Cause your
/, floods are due to the restricted cnan-
mel all along the stream, and not at
any one locality
The effect of removing snags, over
hanging trees, and the old spur dlkes
would be to increase the channel area
very slightly and also to- make ~
smoother, and this would tend to give
it a greater discharge capacity; out
the effect would be too slight to be no
ticable IN preYently floods.
The effsct6 any work at Big Buck
Shoals would be purely local, and
could not possibly affect conditions at
Horse Shoe and above. ss- 1.s.f
This leaves storage reservoirs and
leaves as the only other methods OF
flood prevention to be considered SO
far as the River and Harbor app-op-
riations7 are concerned, leaves and
reservoirs can be considered only as
incidental to an Improvement tor ma
vigation; and think you will agree
with me that the cost OF either sys-
tenn would be so great as To render it

ton.

Minister With Two Wives Living Banks On
Heavenly Divorce to Escape Jail For Bigamy

JOLIET, ILL.,, Oct. LIT is
not meet that man should abide
alone" is one of the reasons CIV
en- by the Rev. John Horton for
having married Miss Amanda
Brenker, a school teacher and
choir singer of Beecher, ILL.,, while
his first wife was alive, and with
out having taken the trouble to
get a divorce from the latter.
In the Joliet jail Horton mani
tested little concern as to what
man would do about It," for, as
he said: THE Lord is on my side;
l will not fear; what can man do
unto me?"
Possibly a jury of men can
send you to the penitentiary," was
suggested.
MY first concern is to regulate
my life according to the dictates
of the Most High" he replied.
"That l have done. 1t is true that
have married twice, and 1t is
also true that my first wife has
not been divorced from me by
man."
Not Well Mated.
"Then that makes you a legal
bigamist. doesn't it?"
But there is a higher law than
those of men. l firmly and con-
scientiously believe that In the
eyes of heaven l am divorced from
my first wife, whom l married a
great many years ago, and with
whom l have not maintained mar
ital relations since the birth of my
youngest child, now 10 years old.
We were not we'll mated; we were
not of the sympathetic nature
necessary to make a happy mar
riage.
"Miss Brenker had been a school
teacher for several years and was
one of the few people in the little
village whose mind scared above
the pettiness of country gossip.
In short, we learned to love each
other. 1t was an immutable fate
that drew us one to another.
81 explained to Miss Brenker
everything concerning my first and
unhappy marriage. She sympa-
thized with me; that sympathy
was very sweet to me here In
America all alone. Further than
that 1 gave out a statement to the
village newspaper telling of my
family in England. In my fare
we'll sermon-for / had accepted a
call to a larger congregation at
Steuben, Wis., told them that

my wife and children and would
support them here. / did not in
tend to live with them.
Then hardly had / finished my
first sermon in my new church
when unjust and seandalous whis-
pers from Beecher drifted through
my congregation. I was asked to
resign. Then Miss Brenker and |
went to Chicago and were mar
ried."
