More Visitors Here.

That more visitors have arrived at
the railway station in HeLdersonvile
up to date this season than last year,
is evidenced by the fact that the trans
fer companies have handled several
hundred pieces of baggage mere this
year than last. Of course this does
not necessarily mea nthat there are
more people within the corporate lin
it's, but that there are more in the city
or vicinity. The hotels and boarding
houses of the surrounding section are
reporting a splendid business and
many of them are now accommodating
their full capacity.

Confederate Vets -
Arc In ReunlT

This is the 25th anniversary of the
Henderson county annual Confederate
Reunion and the celebration is being
held at Horse Shoe with large crowd
in attendance. Included i'm the gath
ering are veterans from all over this
adjacent counties together with many
sons and daughters of veterans and
their friends. The occasion has al
ways been markedly delightful and
offers an opportunity for those gallant
survivors of the great civil struggle to
greet each other once again before the
final sounding of taps" Many of
those in attendance brought baskets
laden with choice things to eat and
the celebration took the form Of a
gigantic picnic. A program of enter
tainment is being carried out and one
OF the important features is an ad-
dress by Governor Locke Craig.

Surprised Expressed.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Surprise was
expressed by democratic leaders of
the senate tonight when they learned
that Governor O'Neal had appointed
representative Henry D. Clayton to
succeed the late Senator Johnston
without express authority from the
Alabama legislature.
1T is my opinion that Mr.. Clayton
will not be seated" said Senator Over
man, acting chairman of the judiciary
committee. The members of the ju-
dietary committee an da majority of
tie lawyers of the senate were of the
opinion that the seventeenth amend
ment to the constitution does not give
the governor authority to appoint a
senator except under expressed direc-
tiOns from the legislature"
1t was predicted tonight that when
MIR. Clayton presented his credentials
as a senator objections would be rails
ed Immediately and the credentials
would go to the committee on privi-
leges and elections for report.

s1he unique contest known as the
: hidden check contest which appear
ed in the Western Carolina Democrat
of last week, aroused much interest
among the many readers of this paper.
Scarcely had the issue been mailed
than answers began to flow into the
office. Some came by special mes
senger, others by mail and still others
by telegraph and telephone message.
The wide circulation of this paper and
the fact that it is read most closely,
advertisements and all; was clearly
demonstrated by the large number of
responses to the contest from near
and far.
The sentence which was cunningly
disguised in the several advertise
'ments which made up page five by
n.isspeIled or unnecessary words read
as follows: Behind the sign, deposit

and I shall not be surprised in the

Is Unofficial Advisor to American Am-

Representative.


Representative.
New Mexico, Aug 11.-Former Gov
ernor John Lind, the. personal envoy
of President Wilson in Mexico City, in
stalled himself today in temporary of--
fees at the United States embassy as
unofficial adviser to the Americans
charge d,affaires-Nelson QShangh-
messy. Mr.. Lind passed several hours
in close conference with the charge
i'affaires, discussing the difficulties 0e
the Mexican nation.
Mr.. Lind was an early riser this
morning The sun had not mounted
high over Popocotepetl mountains be-
fore he was astir. He took a stroll
through the park in front of his hotel
and down San Francisco avenue be-
fore the shutters were removed from
the store windows.
A few hours later an embassy auto
mobile called at the hotel and convey
ed Mr.. Lind to the embassy of the
United States, where the adviser" en-
tered upon his duties.
Dr. William Bayard Hale, who no
longer retained his identity as the con-
fidental envoy of President Wilson,
called at the embassy today and held
a long conference with former Gov
ernor Lind and Mr.. O'Shaughnessy.
Federico Gamboa, the new Mexican
secretary for foreign relations, speak
ing today with regard to Mr.. Lind's
mission said:
"I have great faith in the reasoRa-
b1eness of the judgment of the United
States and l have the conviction that
he difficulties between Mexico and the
United States will soon be adjusted.
Mexico City, Aug. 12.-John Lind
the personal representative of Presi-
dent Wilson and adviser of the Amerf
can embassy here, was received today
in an unfficial capacity by FREDERICK
Gamboa. the Mexican minister for for
etgn relations.
The visit of Mr. Lind consumed but
few minutes of Senor Gamboa's
time and few persons knew that it had
heen made. The time selected for the
call was when few visitors were at the
foreign Office and disposition was
shown in the department to cloak it
| with secrecy.
