HendersonVille received five columns
Of publicity in last Sundays Brooklyn

The story carried Mrs. David j. Full

detail as We'll as her picture and that
OF her husband on the front page with
a group picture of the family on the

The Brooklyn Eagle recently sent a

tailed account of the situation.
The Democrat has given the points
of the case briefly from time to time
Chas. A. Carlson who stands indicted
by the Henderson county grand jury
on evidence given by DR.. and Mrs. Full
Ter, will probably stand trial in Jan
uary on charges Of embeEzIement and
false pretense in connection. with the
alleged swindling of DR. Fuller out OF

The supply of rs Brooklyn papers

BLOCKED HENDERsONyILLE ROAD
(Brevard News

Late last Saturday night as M J.
Gfazener and wife and A. o. Kitchen
and wife were coming in the direction
OF Brevard from down toward Hender-
sonville they found the road blocked
at a place near Davidson River sta
ton. Some one had placed a tele-
graph pole across the road on the
bridge over Glade creek, laying it on
the guard rails and securely wiring it
down. Right near this place a steel
rail, taken from the railroad near by.
had also been placed across the road.
Messrs. Glazener and Kitchen had
some difficult in removing the OBJ
structions, and after they had safely
passed number of rocks were thrown
from the bushes above the road. Had
their car been going in san oppositt
direction there is no question but that
serious accident would have oc
cured, owing to curve that would
have prevented the driver from seeing
the distractions.
The sheriff and his deputy are work
ing on the case and it is believed that
they now have about enough evidence
to make arrests. 1t is to be hoped
that the guilty parties will be appre-
hended and receive good long term on
the roads, for such people should not
be allowed to run at large in a civiliz-
ed country.

The buzz of the shredders and the
jolly songs of the corn husker make
one realize that harvest is here and
Thanksgiving is not for on. If the
farmers of Henderson county have ever
felt thankful they aught to this year,
and how could they show their graft
tude better than to make a liberal offer
to the car load of produce that is be-
ing made up by the Methodists to
send to the children's home. May
their hearts be- opened SO that the
railroad will have to provide two cars
instead of one to haul what is donated.

RYAN CONTINUES FRIEND
OF PRESIDENT WILSON

DlHerences Between Two Don't Mean
raFty Division, Says Former.
I'll. p. e. Bryant in News & Observer.)
washington, Nov. 14.-Former Secrs-
Jary OF State Bryan gave out signifi-
cant and important statement here Just
ebfare he started South for the winter.
He announced that his break with the
PRESIDENT is not personal; not like the
one between Mr.. Taft and Col. Roose-
welt.
Here is what Mr.. Bryan said:
came to Washington two years
ago last March at the invitation of the
President because he thought l could
render a service to the government. 1
was more than pleased with the op-
pertunity offered and am satisfied that
the work done in the State Depart
ntent, especially in the negotiation oil
treaties and in cultivating better rela-
tions with Latlh=America, will stand.
/ resigned only when became con-
vinced that the opportunities for ser
vices were larger outside the cabinet.
On nearly every question found it pos
slble to agree with the President and
in those matters it has given me pleas
uTe to second his efforts. In the few
instances In which we could not agree
have stated my views with frankness
and am willing to risk the judgment
of the party and the country.
The Republicans must not put the
differences between the President and
myself in the same class as the diffe1-
ences between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
velt. Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt had
personal differences which led to a di-
vision In the Republican party The
DIFFERENCES between. the President and
myself are differences of principle and
viii not disturb the friendship between
us. / rely upon my record during the
last 25iyears to prove my devotion to
the Democratic party, and that devo-
tion was never greater than today. Ny
Obligations to the party have con-
stantIy Increased, and the six millions
and half of Democrats who have
three times voted for me will never
have reason to doubt my loyalty to the
principles which have made the DEM
ocratic party a living force in politics
for more than a century and which i'll
spite any mistakes 1T, may make,
will continue to make it the party OF
the common people and the champion
OF the rights of the masses"

REV. A. L. STANFORD.

The friends of Rev A. L. Stanford,
formerly pastor of the Hendersonv1lle
Methodist church, but now pastor of a
Hickory church, will be interested in
the following news story concerning
his work In Elizabeth City newspa-
per:
What is generally admitted to be the
best meeting at the First Methodist
church in many years came to a close
last Thursday night. Interest in the
service was then at its highest mark,
but other engagements compelled Rev.
A. L. Stanford of Hickory who was
doing the preaching to close the meet
ine at that time. The church had an
unusually large number of accessions
as result of the services, but the
members feel that this is but the be-
ginning of the meetings influence for
good. The whole church was revived.
and it is believed that every member
who attended the services was given
fuller appreciation of the obligation
to and the happiness of Christian ser.

PREPAREDNESS NOT ENOUGH.
SAYS SENATOR STONE

Washington, Noy. 11.-+I go farther
than most advocates of national pre-
Daredness who say the nation should
be equipped to defend itself againts
attack; want this country prepared
to take the offensive when it may be
necessary declared Senator Stone,
Democrat, of Mississippi, chairman of
the Foreign Relations committee, who
returned to the capital today for the
Sixty-fourth congress.
Il speak particularly for the navy
the Senator eontinuedS '1 want navy
powerful enough not only to defend
our coasts but strong enough to go out
on the high seas for there might come
time when offensive action would be
required. A navy strong enough for
offensive is mighty guarantee against
attack by other nations"

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER,


This is the way it looks to a writer
who has Travelled some, and watched
for lessons why town prospers. He
says this about the town newspaper:
Stand by your town newspaper.
Il there is anything in your town
worth talking about ten chances 20
one your little town paper had ah and
in putting it there, and if there exists
any unsightly or unsavory nuisance,
twenty chances to one It will stay
there until your own editor sees it or
smells it and wipes his pen on the
town boards breeches. If anybody
beyond the walls of your little burg
ever learns that there is such a place
as Peaceville 1t will be through the
town oracle.
Every village gets its moneys
worth in the village newspaper. It's
the wagon that carries all your good
things to market. It ought to be kept
in good repair. In many cases it
would pay to grease it, paint it, keep
its running gear in shape and shelter
IL at the public expense.
Stand by your local newspaper. It's
the guardian and defender of every
interest the forerunner and pioneer of
e. advance movement and the
sturdy advocate of law and order.
Take it away, and it would not be six
months before the town would look as
If it ha dbeen doped. Business would
drag, society would yawn and graz
would grow between the pebbles.

died at his. home here early today foul
hours after his arrival from New

The negro leader had been in fail

NEGRO BOYS FIND HUMAN
FOOT IN GARBAGE PILE

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 15.-The finding
by negro boys of human foot on q
city dumping ground in the outskirts
OF Atlanta today led to police inves-
ugation which disclosed other pieces
Of human feshS including parts belieV-
lea to be from the trunk and thigh. The
foot and other flesh appeared to be
that of white woman. A police
theory that a woman had been mur-
dered and parts of her body hidden in
the garbage pile, apparently was
strengthened by statements of three
negro women living nearby, that early
Sunday morning a. cab dashed past
their homes and they heard a woman
scream for help.
Detectives later found pieces of a
woman's clothing near where the hui
man remains lay, but were unable to
discover other human, parts. The
clothing appeared to have been hack
ed up with sharp instrument. Search
was being made tonight for a cabman
who might have passed that section
early Sunday
Inquiry at local hospitals and medi-
cal colleges, detectives said, slowed
that no parts of body, removed in.
an operation or in dissection, had been
disguised of that they would reach a
city dumping ground.
Negroes who daily search the far,
bag heap for possible Valuables said.
the pieces of flesh were not there Sat-
urday.
