The Wages Of Sin Is Death

Without a country, without friends
and without money, Jack Johnson, the
colored pugilist, is almost down and ont
in Paris. He has become convinced
that sin means eternal death. At the
height of his prosperity and popularity
he began to live like dog. He defied
law, encountered prosecutions and his
end will be the pistol route or drowning
in one of the streams he comes to, as
penalty to outraged deceLcy johnson
is down and out and the world rejoices.

will go to PGlk and Rutherford coun-
ties. He can be expected to canvass
Henderson county about the first week
in Nav"
There is considerable speculation al
to the outcome in Henderson county,
which Mr. Gudger carried two years
ago. Mr.. Gudgerss friends say that he
will carr ythe county by fully as large
IL not larger majority than he did
two years ago. Mr.. Reynolds friends
declare that Bob" will carry the coun-
~ by reason of dissatisfaction and dis
cord which, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo. arose over the appointment of
postmaster for Hendersonville. There
were five candidates in the race and
some Of the defeated ones and their
friends have it in their minds to 'egen
up." as would have been the case in
the appointment of either of the candi-
dates. Judge Reynolds says that his
brother will get half Of the votes in
Henderson county. possibly majority
o. 200.
SIN fact we concede only two couI1-
ties to Mr.. Gudger," said Judge Rey-
nolds, "and from the encouraging let
ters we are getting from Rutherford
and Mcdowell counties / wouldn't be
surprised if Bob gets one OF these
counties. He is rapidly gaining in
Rutherford and will gain some in Nc
Dowell."
Judge Reynolds estimated the vote
by counties in case primaries are held,
as follows:
Buncombe, 3,40O votes, Reynolds
paiority from 800 to 1000.
Haywood, 1000 votes. Reynolds ma

position he thought should be made of
the building said: eff the city can't
sell the property for what it is worth
il should tear down the building and
erect one that would be of some SER
vice. The city has suffered by lack of
theatrical attractions and will contin-
ue to suffer until provisions can be
made for them. Arrangements could
be made for a suitable opera house
in the erection of new building and
theatrical attractions would prove very
helpful to this city"
When asked what he thought of the
idea Of selling the property to some
person for further service, Judge
Ewart said he didn't think that the
authorities should take this response
bility for the reason that the building
has been condemned as unfit for use
and under the circumstances the city
might become liable in the case of
some unfortunate mishap.
"The city certainly would be placed
in an embarrassing position if for
some reason the building should fall
and injure or kill some one." AS to
what he thought the sentiment of the
people of Hendersonville would be
with regard to new building Judge
Ewart declared: 'fWhy, there would
Mt be dissenting voice. Oh, well,
We would find one or two men against
any public movement, but 1 don't be-
ueve there would be objection raised
by half dozen representative men
in the city. !"
City Should Act.
"The city should either sell the
building, repair It, or tear Sit down
and build one that would do -us some
good" declared Hon. w. A. Smith in
conversation with a representative of
the Democrat. Something should be
done by all means" he added
Mr.. Smith is Of the opinion that the
building can be repaired at reason
able cost. He is not certain whether
he would sell, repair or destroy it,
but were it left for him to decide, he
Is positive that he would. do one or
the other.

front and along the railroad yards.
Information which came from
sources close to the cabinet council
indicated that the president exercised
self restraint, and calmly determined
that with the seizure of Vera Cruz
and the prevention of shipments OF
arms from reaching Huerta, further
steps would not be taken by the Amer
ican government for the present The
future depends upon action by the
EEerta authorities. Secretary GarIi-
son announced emphatically that no
troop movements had been ordered.
Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson today ordered virtually the
entire Atlantic fleet to Mexican VIZ

MEXICO AND UNITED STAss1S GO TO
War ON FORMERS Y, BLO0DSHEO
OVER QUESTION NATIONAL HONOR

Washington, April 21::---Marines and
b1uoiackets of the American navy
t,ok the customs house and large
section of Vera Cruz with a loss of
+ur killed and twenty wounded. The
mss of the Mexican garrison was not
officially known here tonight, but was
estimated at 200 killed. This was the
first step in the program of reprisal
nv the United States against the Huer-
"a government for the arrest of Amer
ican bluejackets at Tampico and other
|ofenses against the rights and dig
|rity of the United States"
No Offensive Steps.
Though fighting had not ceased at
2 late hour tonight Rear Admiral
Fletcher had warned the federal COM
mander that he would use the big guns
of the American feet if his men did
not stop firing. The American forces
had orders to fire only to defend
themselves. The United States in
tends to take no offensive steps for
the present. The salute to the flag
Huerta refused will not be satisfac-
tory reparatiOn. It is understood a
declaration of apology as we'll as a
salute and a guarantee that the rights
OF the United States would be respec-
ed alone can cause a withdrawal Of
the American forces.

Jackets were fighting, the senate de-

it was reported that the main body of

stand as it is. I don't think there is

S12. 900 SUBSCRIBED FOR
FASSIFERN COLLEGE.
In Order for the City to Get the
School $1,000 More Must be
Raised by Saturday.

The future location of Fassifern
college, which has been given consid-
Grafton in Hendersonville during the
past few weeks, is not definitely de-
| cided, according to the Rev. r. N
Wilcox, president of the Greater
Hehdersonville club.
"It is up to the people, said Mr..
Wilcox Wednesday to representa-
tive of the Democrat. I'm order to
get the school we must raise $4,000 in
addition to the $4,000 subscribed by
the citizens of, Hendersonville," he
added.
The committee appointed by the
Greater Hendersonville club to solicit
subscriptions put in few days OF
hard work as result Of which $12,-
600 was subscribed. They called on
the most of those who usually sub
scribe to things of public nature,
but it is understood that the cam
psign will be renewed.
Miss Shipp has signified her will
ingness to come to Hendersonv1lle
provided we give her the assistance
promised" said Mr. Wilcox, "but the
.noney will have to be raised by Sat
urday."
Miss shipp is not asking for do
nation. She only asks that stock be
subscribed for two years without in
tel est, and that she be allowed to re-
deem the stock at her option after
the two years. Interest is promised
after the expiration of two years.
Those who have been active in the
effort to induce Miss Shipp to move
the school to Hendersonville are ex-
tsemely anxious that further subscrfp-
tions be made as they feel that the
school will become valuable asset
for the city, and will represent an an
nual expenditure of $4,000 in Hen
dersonville.

Several years ago the city hall was
officially condemned and since that
time there has been considerable dis
c1Ssion and the venturing of varying
opinions as to what disposition should
be made OF the property. Various ad-
rainistrations have considered the
question of how to make the citys
property more resourccful, as a re-
silt of which Judge H. G. Ewart three
years ago introduced a bill in the
Legislature empowering the city au-
tliorities to dispose of the city hall,
which was built through the sale of
bends.
They Hesitated.
No board since the building was con-
,demned has tackled the problem SER.
iously, but it is understood that the
present administration is thinking ser
iously of disposing of the old hall in
some manner.
History of Building.
The present building was erected
about 1893 at cost understood to be
about $4,000. A few years ago the
foundation is understood to have set
tied and caused leaning wall, which
resulted in the condemnation of the
building. Since that time it has been
looked over by those who said it could
be repaired while others said it could
not. The opera house on the second
floor has not been used of late and the
city fs paying interest on the bonds
and is getting very little service out OF
the property.
& Some4p people think that the building
should be razed and new one erected
that would be modern in construction
and equal to the demands of the city
for many years to come.
: There are those who think that an
effort should be. made to repair the
building while others think that the
building. and lot should be sold.
Judge Ewart'Se Views

while in the legislature to authorize
the commissioners to dispose Of the
building, when asked by represents
tive of the Democrat las to what dis.
