London, April 25.-The Daily Tele-

bles the following dispatch, dating it
Wednesday night:
Mexican enthusiasm and Indignation
suddenly burst n flame tonight. 1t
has been like lighting a train of pow
der. No sooner was General Ruerta's
short dignified proclamation published
than the city changed it's aspect. and
it's life was arrested. The populace
poured into the streets. flags appeared
everywhere and demonstrations were
organized. The people shouting with
voices swollen with formidable emo
ton.
The manner of the American land
ing at Vera Cruz has helped to in
crease Mexican indignation. 1t Is true
ton was the arrival of the Ypiranga
with arms n ammunition for General
Huerta. But not the least intimation
was given, n the American sailors
were allowed to land, as they had done
every day, in large numbers, to battle
on the shore front or to stroll through
the town.
This time. however. they had rifles
and they Immediately occupied the us
toms house and sent forces to take
possession OF the telegraph office and
postoffice. AND other buildings before
Mexicans were aware that the town
was being invaded.
While the landing vas going on,
the American consul. w. w. Canada,
sent a short note to General Mas. the
military commander, announcing the
accomplished fact only, the occupancy
Of the town.
The Mexican forces consisted of a
battalion of 900 men. distributed
throughout the various services. The
first momen of stupefaction had
passed, all shops were closed and the
population. on it's own initiative. inn
pulsively began an ~instantive unor-
ganfzed resistance. Rifles and pistols
were fired from windows. roofs and the
angles of buildings, while the troops
interviewed in small bodies, firing from
the streets.
There was no real battle, but a series
of surprises, an individual guerrilla
warfare in the streets, which claimed a
few victims.
ut is not known here how long the
resistance lasted or whether it is yet
finished. The government has sent the
foreign representatives here q formal
protest of the American violation of
INSTRUMENTATION treaty of 1S4S,
whereby both nations undertake, in the
event of war. to provide for the safety
of women. childen and noncolnbatants."

LONDON EDITORS SURE
1T WILL END I'M WAR

London. April 25.-The editorial view
of the majority of the London papers is
that the United States is now COM
mitted to war with Mexico and that it
will be impossible to localize the war
against Huerta.
The Daily Chronicle says:
I'VE annot suppose that President
Wilson is asking his c%ountrymen to
spend money and shed their blood
merely to replace a villain like Huerta
by a villain like Villa"

FOUR AMERICANS SAID TO
HAVE BEEN SLAIN BY MOB

Washington. April 27.-In an
official report from Consul Canada,
at Vera Cruz. the state department
was informed today that several
Americans were placed under ar
rest in Mexico City, after being
taken from the refugee train that
carried Charge O'Shaughnessy and
his party to Vera Cruz. j. Starr
Hunt and his family were among
those arrested. Burton Wilson was
taken from the train at the first
station out of Mexico City.
Washington. April 27.-Secretary
Daniels has instructed Admiral
Badger at Vera Cruz to issue a
proclamation informing all Next
cans in that vicinity that they are
free to come and go as they please.
This. 1t was hoped, would induce
General Huerta to permit Ameri-
cans to leave Mexico City, where
they have been detained in conse-
quence of the report tha the Next
cans were not permitted TIC leave
Vera Cruz.
Vera Cruz, April 27.-El Dictamen,
a Vera Cruz newspaper, today says
four Americans have been killed nv
mobs in Mexico City. It declares it has
received this information from the e
eral capital.
Three of the American victims were
taken out of homes and killed on the
streets, while the fourth was killed in
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton building by members of the base
ball team. to which he belonged, ac-
cording to Ell Dictamen, which made
Its temperance today.
The information as to the massacre
of Americans is not confirmed from
amy other source and is considered
doubtful in many quarters.
Vera Cruz was today isolated from
direct communication with the interior,
but the sparse report brought here by
refugees indicates that the state of af-
fairs is badly and rapidly growing
worse so far as. Americans are con-
cerned.
The refugees arrived here bring word
of intense ti-American feeling in all
directions.
The American military authorities in
Vera Cruz consider the situation of
Americans in The capital and all over
the republic grave.
Further details as to conditions in
Mexico City were given Consul Canada
by the refugees who nav reached Vera
Cruz. They report a reign of terror in
anti-American outbreaks. A mob en-
tered Porter's hotel, IN American insti-
tuition, insulted the guests, smashed
windows and emptied the hotel. The
gusts were taken to other hotels and
the managers Of the hotel went to
Vera Cruz.
The American club was attacked and
several stores were sacked, with a loss
estimated at 1000 pesos. Consul Can
ada said that the refugees reported the
American colony well organized for de-
Tense. All foreigners had concentrated
to Withstand any attack. They are well
armed but fear All attack of over
whelming mobs. On Tuesday all bust
ness houses in the capital were closed
and the streets were filled with disor-
derby crowds.

OUR BOARD OF HEALTH.

Although the board of health now in
process of organization may work a
seeming hardship on people in a few
Instances, Hendersonville is to be con
graduated for taking this progressive
step. As announced in another column
an organization will be perfected that
is calculated to bring health-giving re-
suits. An health officer will be m
pIoyed to devote a portion of his time
To looking after the health conditions
of the city and his close surveillance
will tend to greater cleanliness and
~healthines3.
Upon the efficiency of the health
Office will depend almost wholly the
success of the board of health, there
fore this body should make a selection
only after the most mature delibera-
ton as to fitness. The office has not
been created merely to give some
physician a position, but to promote
the health and sanitary condition OF
Hendersenville.
The day has arrived when the intel
1igent, thinking public is giving con-
siderable thought to the subject Of
sanitation and no sensible maniwants
to visit for any length of time or move
his family to a community where
health conditions are not what they
should be. They are interested in
sanitation, the death rate and other
subjects pertaining therto, hence the
time has come when HendersonviIle
as a permanent residence or a sum-
mer resort should strive to improve
along this line till it can rightly claim
a place among the healthiest com
munities of all the world. The ma
chinery behind the health officer with
most favorable natural conditions sur
rounding US make this goal easy Of
attainment.

tion? 1t is too silly.

BUSINESS MEN AND FARMERS.

-.t-
If the farmers of Henderson county
ever had occasion to feel that the bus,
mess men of Hendersonville were not
interested in their welfare and the
promotion of agricultural conditions,
such unfounded opinions should be re-
moved.
The Greater Hendersonyille club,
which is composed chiefly of the bust
ness men of the city, evidences its in
terest in the farmers in the Lewiston
to furnish entertainment to the farm
ers when they attend the county corn
show here in February. The farmers
will be the guests of the club and
plenty of boiling coffee, sandwiches,
and other refreshments will be at their
disposal. These lunches will be pro-
vided solely for the benefit of the out
OF town people and they should feel
tree to partake thereof.
In this connection we urge the farm
ers to avail themselves of the educa
tional value of this exhibition of corn.
Every farmer should make an effort to
bring one or two exhibits of corn and
take advantage of all information to
be gained from the addresses of corr
experts on this occasion.

PLANS MAKING FOR BIG
COUNTY CORN SHOW
Demonstration Perkins Has Assurance
of Over One Hundred Individual
Exhibits of Seed Corn.

The First Annual Henderson Coun-
ty Corn show will be held at the court
house in Hendersonyille sometime
during the next few weeks.
Over one hundred individual exhib-
its are already assured. Farm Demon
strator Perkins is actively at work ar
ranging for the show, which will be
given under the auspices CT the Great
er Hendersonville club.
Hot coffee and good sandwiches
will be served the farmers,-who, on
that day, will be the guests of tie
Greater He~ndersonyille club and of the
city.
The purpose of the corn show is o
demonstrate the selection of seed corn
something which is virtually import
ant to the farmer and to the eemmun-
ity. For no matter how good the soil,
how deep the blowing, how carefully
the crop is tended, without good seed
the crop must be a total or at best 6
partial failure.
E. s. Mil1saps. of s~tatesville, and
other agricultural expert will oe
present. A speaker who knows his
subject will deliver a lecture on the
Importance of seed selection and what
il has done in the way OF increasd
production and the figures he will pre-.
sent are really staortIing. In addition
to this the farmers will be actually
shown how to select good seed corn
and will be shown the difference be-
tween good and bad seed.
Farm Demonstrators Perkins, Tor
whom the the Greater Hendersonvillc
club is responsible, is enthusiasts
over the possibilities of the show and
as enthusiasm is catching worse than
the measles, he is spreading that en-
thusiasm broadcast. He says he IS
meeting with every encouragement in
his efforts and advises getting many
gallons of good coffee and several
baskets of sandwiches ready for the
farmers who will be in attendance at
the show.

WANTED "BEsTn LAWYER.

Even though lawyers are character
ICED by their relentless inqusitiveness,
they are sometimes called on to an
swer questions of a personal nature
CT otherwise that causes a little en-
barrassment. Attorney j. E. Shipman
is doubtless among the latest men,
bers of his profession to give some
eYasive answer to a diroect question.
His friends tell that a few days ago
he was approached on Main street, .by
an absolute stranger who was very
anxious to know the best" lawyer N
tcwn. While Mr.. Shipman ranks in
that class he had too much Sunday
school modesty to make a direct IN
sWer so frankly told the stranger that
the question wa san embarrassing
one, that he was a member of the
local bar and that he would rather not
speak more definitely about the abili-
tY of HendersonviIle attorneys. Al
though the question was eyasive. it
roved satisfactory; the stranger open
ed his bosom and became one of the
many of MI. Shipman's clients.

HERE FOR SOCIAL PURPOSES

Wilcox and Building Will be
Erected at Early Date.

and intellectual organization con-
posed of some of the most prominent
men of Hendersonyflle and communi-
ty, was organized Tuesday night in
Eendersonville at the Office of Meyer C
StillwelL
The organization was the result of
two or three informal meetings dur
ing the past few days on the part of
a number of business and professional
men who were awake to the social
needs of HendersonvilIe.

Rev. r. N. Wilcox, who asked DR.. l..
3 Morse to state its object DIR. Morse,
recounted the neeis of such an
organization, both for social and in
tellectual purposes, declaring that
such was almost a necessity for the
reason that the home people had no
where to gather for social intercourse
except at the lodges, the Greater Hen
dersonviIle club twice a month and at
the drug stores He declared that the
task of new corners to Hendersonville
in making acquaintances in the city
vas a difficult one and that a social
club would solve this problem not only
for Hendersonville but would be some
thing of a clearing house" for Kanu-
ga Lake, Highland : Lake, Mountain
Home and other club colonies of the
community.
DR.. Morse was named as temporary
Chairman with John w. Grimes acting
as temporary secretary.
w. A. Smith stated that he did not
wish TO antagonize the movement but,
that ABOUT q quarter of a century ago
he signed a temperance pledge and
that baAore participating in the organ
Zation WoRE he would like to know the
policy of TIE club as to liquors and
lockers" that he could not cooperate
il the club tolerated any drinking fea-
lures. Mr.. Smith was assured that it
was not the intention of those promot-
ing the organization to have drinking
as a feature of the club, after which
plans we're discussed for the perma-
nent organization.
Rev. Mr.. Wilcox was elected presi-
dent, DR.. Morse vice president, and
Mr. Grimes secretary and treasurer.
E. ". Ewbank and w. A. Smith were

COLORED MANS HEART
WAS ON WRONG SIDE

Washington. June 24.-With
all his organs transformed-his
heart being on his right side, the
liver and appendix on the left and
the large end of the stomach OF
right-the case of Thomas Muir
dock, a Negro laborer who was
killed in fall from a building
here, was the subject of comment
in medical circles today. An au-
topsy revealed this curious anato-
mical phenomenon, which is with
out precedent in the district coro-
ner's office. The body of the Ne
gro was otherwise normal and
well developed. Seemingly he had
enjoyed good health.
