THOS. D. HARTZELL.

Another one of the pioneer farmers
of Rock county was called to his re-
ward in the death of Thos. d. Hartzell
at his home west of town on Dec. 10Th,
1912. The deceased has been in failing
health some time and death followed a
paralytic stroke. Thos. D. Hartzell
was born in Hanover, Penn, Nov. %,
1885, and came to Wisconsin in 1854,
before the railway was finished through
to Madison, and settled on a homestead
in the town of Fulton, which has ever
since been his home. He was united
in marriage to Clarina Stillman 54years
ago, from which union four sons grew
to manhood, Sterl, Morris and Harry
living here and Fred at Chippewa Falls,
who with the widow survive, as well as
Que brother, Reuben Hartzell, and a
sister living in Montana.
Funeral sery ices were held from
his late home New Years day, conduct
ed by Rev. T. w. North.

PASSING OF THE PIONEERS.
EdgertOn's First Attorney, ]. p. TOwne,
Th0s. ID. Hartzell and p. Nj. Quig-
lev Answer the Final Summons

Edgerton's pioneer attorney, j. +.
ToWne, and familiar figure in the
growth and development of our city for
more than half century, passed away
quietly at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. L. ]. Dickinson, Sunday evening,
aDec. 20, 1912, death resulting from
fall sustained the day before, and his
enfeebled health left him unable to
withstand the shock.
John Parker Towne was born at Mil
ford, N. H., June IL, 1926. His ances-
tors had lived in and around Milford
since 1910. He graduated at Norwich
University, N. H., in 1852 with title of
A. B. In 1853 and 1854 he taught
school at Edinburg and Franklin, Ind,
during which time he began the study
OF law. In April, 1856, he came to
Milwaukee and continued the study of
law, practiced law at Palmyra, Wis, >
for year and then came to Edgerton
in. the spring of 1858 and has resided
here continuously ever since. He was
admitted to the bar in 1857 and contin-
ued in active practice until 1910, when
failing eyesight compelled him to aban-
don his former ceaseless activities. For
over 20 years he served as justice of
the peace, Is years as town clerk and
for nearly rs years continuously was
member of the school board of Edger-
ton. He was an organizer and director
of the Bank of Edgerton from 1880
until 1897 and president thereof from
1893 until 1897.
In public affairs he took an active
TrNfh L. e.
tee of the Methodist church and later
generous supporter of the Congrega-
tiOnal church. Without aspiring to of
flee, he sought to faithfully discharge
the duties so continuously cast upon
him. His high conception of the duties
OF lawyer was to keep people out of
difficulty and the courts rather than
encourage litigation and his conciliatory
advice SO often given clients invariably
proved to be TO their financial advan-
tage. His ambition to lead quiet,
useful life of country lawyer was
fully realized in the long years he
served the community as their legal
advisor.
He was married to Rozilla Ford Dec.
10, 1860, who deceased Dec. 10, 1895,
on the 35th anniversary of their we'd
ding. A son, two daughters and five
grandchildren survive him.
The funeral services were held Tues
day, Dec. 81, in the home he built and
dwelt in for SO years, conducted by
Rev. L. H. Keller, his former pastor.
A delegation from the GAINESVILLE bar
were present at the funeral consisting
of Judge Fifeld, Chas. E. Pierce, M.
O. Mouat, John Cunningham and F. c.
Burpee.
AS mark of respect to the deceased
the business places of Edgerton were
closed during the hours of the funeral.

Tobacco Notes

Henry Henderson of Cambridge re-
ceived S2O37 for his nine-acre tobacco
crop recently delivered.
L. w. Scott & Co. of Boston and A.
Hussay Leaf Tobacco Co.. of Chicago
favor this office with handy calendars.
The warehouses of the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co., the P. Lorillard
Co., Mcintosh Bros, w. S. Brill and
Pomeroy & Pelton opened for the sea-
sons sorting on Monday.
The Eisenlohr warehouse will open
next Monday and when the business is
fully installed in the new building about
800 hands will be employed.
Evidences of another incendiary fire
at GAINESVILLE have been discovered in
an attempt to burn the E. M. Calkins
warehouse the past week. Fortunate
ly the fire did not gain any Roadway.
When the Ell Insito cigar factory
starts up after the new year it will be
in more commodious quarters that have
been arranged for it in the c. L. Gull
ton warehouse. The improvement now
about completed provides better light
and more room for an increased num-
Der of cigarmakers, packing and ship
ping facilities.
T. B.. Earle closed down stemming
operations during the week after a con-
tinuous run since early spring for Bloch
Bros, Wheeling, Va, manufacturers,
until after another sorting season has
closed. The help employed there will
all be needed now in the warehouse
handling of the new crop which is now
we'll under way.
A change has been scheduled in the
state representative of the Pinkerton
Tobacco Co., subsidiary of the Liggett
& Myers branch of the big trust, po-
sition held for few years past by
VIM. M. Chalmers. Mr.. Fred A.
Greene of GAINESVILLE, lately with C. L..
Culton, has been selected for this i'm
portant trust to succeed Mr.. Chalmers
WIN Hdo peeA PIoIhoIeu " q AcoPohol-
BILE position at the Toledo, Ohio, fac
tory. Mr.. Greene will take cdarge of
the Pinkerton plant at Watertown and
the buying throughout the state some
time the coming month. The Pinker-
ton concern has been an important fac
tor as purchaser of low grades for
stemming purposes, and the many
friends of Mr.. Greene will congratulate
him upon his selection for the position.

Must Renew Licenses.

In response to communications receiv-
ed by his office, Secretary of State
Frear has informed all inquirers that
under the provision of the automobile
law passed by the last Legislature,
every motor vehicle license must be re-
newed for the ensuing year and that a
failure to procure the license or to ride
on the old number plates subjects the
owner to the penalty provided by stat
ute in case the question is raised. The
number plate is dark blue background
and is therefore easily distinguishable
from the one in use last year. Con-
trary to general understanding, the
law was framed by the automobile
owners of Milwaukee and it's enforce
ment lies in the hands of any local Of
ficer in case of violation.

The many friends of Atty. M. J.
Feeney will regret to learn that Mr..
Feeney has been compelled to give up
his law practice in Milwaukee on ac-
count of i'll healtn Mr.. and Mrs.
Feeney and children are. now located
on small farm near New Orleans,
Mrs. Feeney having two sisters there.
Mr.. Feeney is well known to many of
our readers. He was graduated from
the high school here in 1884, and after
completing the course at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and the law school
he practiced at Edgerton, Marinette
and Milwaukee for many years. Wat

And so goes humanftys train. Here
is a boy and he has started on fast
schedule. He began by pilfering from
his fathers cash drawer. Growing
older he travels little faster. Down
grade he goes Faster and faster.
There is the rapidity Of the age in his
blood. He drives hard. Directly
comes the crash. The newspaper tells
coldly the story Of the smash, 1t is a
murder and a suicide. The big world
halts for moment-it only halts.
Some who knew him, friends they
were, murmur, 81 never thought he
vas bad!" Others say, He went it
too fast" But after all it is but a

OFF THE TRACK.


The limited passenger train is run-I
ming fifty miles an hour. In the
smoking room of the Pullman men Joke
and laugh Others play cards and still
others tell risque stories. The train
is crowded and the passengers are.
wearied. Ahead of the more pleasant
sieepers the day coaches hot and dusty
are filled with travelling humanity
The train is running late and in the cab
the engineer, peering into the mist
drives his engine little faster. The
heavy sleepers as they sway to and
for make only a genteI rocking for the
people who chat and read and nap.
Again the engineer opens the throttle
just a little more in his effort to make
faster time. Crash! Engine and cars
and flesh and blood are ground togeth-
er in shapeless, horried mass.
Off the track!

These are rapid days and the young
girl thinks that her mother is entirely
too slow and much too old-fashioned.
Mother is a dear, but she is little
old fogy." The mother with warm
heart and with longing for the better
things suggests to the girl. But the age
is changing and the girl goes to places
where the mother would not have gone
and where the mother would rather the
girl would not go. The girl-cheek
loses its bloom. Brutal appetite lusts
after the youthful innocence. !.
One day a brazen,N drunken creature,
cursing and shrieking is loaded into
patrol wagon. 1t is driven to the po-
lice station. She is locked in the cell.
What is it? The age is swift and only
for moment does the world hesitate
and some one remarks, only woman,
on the track!

This age is a rapid age. Business is
going at fifty mile-an-hour clip. So
ciety is driving as fast Rather than
be sidetracked by a competitor men
will drive so hard that they go into the

are frequent collisions and wrecks in
Vulnerable and all because of getting
Off the track!

Watch out! Look ahead, venture
some man and reckless man. Open
your eyes, speculative business mas
ter! Watch your speed, young men and
maidens The race is not to the swift.
Put on the brakes. Slow up. There is
danger ahead Look out Before you
realize it you will be
Of the track.

This rushing age is gold-crazed APP
parently. Man is wild to be rich, and
wildly does he strive for the thousands
and millions that are supposed to
speak happiness. The man is in a
hurry to be wealthy and he drives
faster. His fathers methods will not
do. What's the use of toiling and toll
ing when by a harder drive the result
may be achieved the more quickly
Others by speculation have amassed
their fortunes and have done it safely.
So speculatet Surely / am as shrewd
as the other man. One day there is a
pistol shot Scare head lines in the
morning paper tell the story. Again
the hurrying world halts. But only
for brief second for the story is heard
too often to attract. serious attention.
The world hesitates for breath how
ever for again is it true that man is
OF the track!
Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1913-01-02

Why did that splendid train get OF
the track? 1t was a well-equipped
train and it was composed of a mag
nificent engine and the most modern
cars. Maybe the rails were too light ?
Maybe the curve was too sharp. May
be there was faulty wheel to one of
the cars. Maybe brake dropped from
place Maybe defective switch bar.
Maybe a rotted tie Slower locomotion
might have prevented the accident.
Fifty miles an hour is too fast for safe
ty. But the competitive line is driving
their trains at fifty miles. This line
must certainly meet competition. The
train must go in the station on the
dot" Open the throttle! Shovel in
the coal! Drive the engine! Make
time-what matters it if we do go
on the track!

No doctrine involving more perni
cious consequences was ever invent
ed by the wit of man than that any
of its provisions can be suspended
during any of the great exigencies of
government. Such a doctrine leads
directly to anarchy or despotism, but
the theory of necessity on which it is
based is false, for the government
within the constitution has all the
powers granted to it which are neces-
sary to preserve it's existence"
Senators Kern, Borah, and others
supporting the demand for an inves=
tigation, all expressed the general
idea that a state is not at liberty
to set aside the guarantees of the
federal constitution, and that if this
has been done even under the pre-
text of legal forms and with the ap-
proval of a corrupt or controlled
court, it is still the province of the
federal government to use it's fullest
powers, including the regular army,
II necessary, to open the jails and
protect the wronged citizen and see
that his guarantee of civil liberty is
not made farce by state action.

States Attorney Maclay Hoyne
this morning petitioned Judge Kers-
ten for the appointment of a special
prosecutor and a special grand jury
to investigate the charge of election
fraud. Hoyne requested that his
friend, Clyde L. Day, a Busse Repub-
ican, be appointed to conduct the
inquiry.
The first request for a special
prosecutor was made yesterday by
attorneys representing George I.
Haight, Progressive; William Cum
nea, Socialist, and Lewis Rinaker,
Republican, before Judge Cooper.
Judge Cooper replied that as the
present grand jGry would only sit an
other week, he would suggest the APP
pointment of special grand jury to
name the special prosecutor.
1t is the general feeling that
Hoyne's petition this morning was an
attempt to beat the other petitioners
to it, as he very bitterly opposed the
petition yesterday.

Bryan In Washinaton.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Few authorita-
tive statements could be gained relat-
ing to the Mexican situation. The preSi-
dent has gone to his summer home at
Cornish, n. II. In his absence Secre-
tary Bryan it is said, will remain here
today and refrain from lecturing. Mr.
Bryan was at the state department a
few hours between his Chautauqua
engagements. In the afternoon he gave
one of his lectures at Oxford, Pa, and
in the evening one. .at Belalr, Md.
Mr.. Bryan is reported to be confident
that General Huerta will soon be elimi-
mated from the situation, but he would
not say how, nor would be say on
what his confidence is based.
May Appeal to Powers.
There is speculation here on the sug-
gestion which has been made that
President Wilson, as last resort, sub
NIT the solution of the Mexican prob
lem to a conference of the powers.
The president does not believe that the
Monroe doctrine calls for the United
States to police Mexico for the other
powers,
Under this Interpretation, if the
citizens or subjects of other powers
are in danger in Mexico the United
States can be expected to do nothing
more than exercise its good offices
through diplomatic channels in their
behalf The natural corollary of this
belief, it is declared, is that the United
States will not look askance at any
steps European or Asiatic powers may
deem necessary to take for the pro.
lection of their citizens in Mexico.
