RAINS
CAUSE GREAT
! LOSS IN SOUTH

Beginning Friday night and contin-
uing until Monday evening rain fell
alHost necessarily and as a conse-
quepce streams in this section were
outiof banks and much damage done
to crops and bridges reported.
since the waters on the French
Braad have receded it has been learn
ed that the damage along the valley
has been considerable. The water
was the highest in years, and the river
presented a most awe-inspiring spec
tae3e when at its full flood tide.
he rain was our part of the flood
.co4ditions general throughout the
Southern States that followed in the
wake of the tropical storm last week.
The French Broad river was the
highest in years, the river at Ashe7
vile reaching a food stage of over
niIle feet Monday night. No automo-
lilies or other vehicles could get
through from here to Asheville on ac-
count of the bridges and road in places
being coveHed with water. Trains OF
the ToXaway division were annulled,
the. track in number of places be-
tween here and Brevard being inun-
dated, it is said that a train was
stalled Sunday night on this road on
account Of the water putting out the
fire in the fire-bOx of the locomotive.
Although the damage in this county
has been great. there was no loss of
live and none were rendered home
less Other sections of the south were
not nearly so fortunate. Prattville,
Ala, town of $1,000 inhabitants, was
almost entirely covered by waters Of
the Autauga creek, not more than a
dozen of the 2,40O houses in Laurel,
Miss. escaped damage and 400 per-
sssSEs are tqrneless~f in DAYTON Tenn.
Nine are reported dead as a result OF
the storm in Mobile, Ala.
The streams in this section are pc
culiarly subject to overflow, not hav-
ing much fall On their way to the
French Broad and very little rain, is re-
quired to cause them to overflow the
bottom lands adjacent to the bed of
the streams. The flood stage in the
French Broad shattered all previous

DEATH OF AGED VETERAN.
Capt. ]. L. Walker Passes Away at
the Home of His Daughter in
HenderSOnVille.

Following a short illness Capt. John
L. Walker, for many years resident
of Hendersonville, passed away Satur-
day morning at 2 o'clock at the resi-
dence of his daughter, Mrs. A. E. Hart
on Sixth avenue, with whom he had
been making his home. Capt. Walker
was a native of Greenville county, S.
c., and was in his 83rd year. Besides
Mrs. Hart, who was his only living
child, the deceased is survived by one
sistep, Mrs watson of Greenville, S.
c., and one brother. DR.. Geo. Walker,
also of Greenville.
Funeral services were held from the
home Sunday afternoon conducted by
Rev. K. w. Cawthon. pastor of the
Baptist church and the remains were
laid to rest in the city cemetery.
Capt. walker was highly respect
cd citizen and numbered his friends
by his acquaintances. He was vet
eran of the Civil War and came
through that strife with good record
as a soldier.
His bereaved daughter and other
relatives have the sympathy of the
community.

NO KICK ON
TOLL CHARGES
ATLAURELPARK

The new practice of collecting a toll
of five cents from each person entering
Laurel Park put into effect this year is
working very satisfactorily, Mr.. Smith
says. Few persons register kick and
Mr.. Smith agrees to return the price
to anyone who is not satisfied after
paying the toll and seeing the park.
This charge was made necessary in or
der for the owners to make enough to
keep the park up to the present high
standard. A person can go outon the
car and pay five cents or he can enter
in any other manner and the charge
will be the same. The toll charge
makes it as cheap to ride as to walk
Z One of the first impressions strang-
er gets of the park is the natural beau
ty of the surroundings. Nature here
is seen in all her beauty and this has
been added to by the improvements
made by the estate. Beautiful winding
drives. lakes and canals greet the eye
and numerous amusement features are
everywhere in evidence The greatest
Importance is attached to CRYSTAL
Springs, the Swiss railway, the lakes,
bathing beach. etc. Crystal Springs
enjoys the distinction of being one of
the finest in the world, and certainly
no prettier spring can be found any
where. It's water is of the purest crys-
tai and its setting is magnificent. The
water Is now being used by the Caroli-
ma Terrace Hotel and the drug stores
Of the city will be serving it SOON
The story is told of an Italian. who
searched the world over for a spring
more beautiful than this one, and was
forced to give up and acknowledge the
claims of Crystal Springs. He spent a
summer here several years ago and
afterwards travelled extensively. Bear
ing in mind the offer Of Mr. Smith To-
give certain sum of money to anyone
who would say they had seen a prettier
spring than Crystal, he took a special
interest in springs in the different
places he visited but he came back
and handed the decision to the spring
in Laurel Park.
The park is now enjoying splendid
summer patronage. There are two
camp schools. one for girls and one for
boys, situated in the park, and both
have q good attendance Besides the
amusement and outing features afford
ed by, the park it is becoming most
desirable resident section and many
fine cottages have been erected within
its borders. The street car makes the
trip to the park on convenient and
frequent schedule, the cars leaving
Main street at it's intersection with
Fifth avenue.

JONI BOWEN'S
SLAYER NOW IN
PENITENT|ARY

Ending one of the most famous
criminal suits ever tried in a Wyonl-
ing court, extending over period OF
four years, Robert d. Meldrum. has.
finally been landed in the Wyoming
state prison, with an indeterminate.
sentence of from five to seven years
hanging over his head. Meldrum re-
ceived- this sentence for the killing of
John Bowen, a son of Mr.. and Mrs. j..
n Bowen of Hendersonville Route No.
) in January, 1912. The following is
the story of the last trial and is taken
from the Carbon County Journal, pub
lished at Rawlins, Wyo., dated June
30, 1916:
after four years of effort to estab-
iish an official right in the Staying Of
John Bowen, at Baggs, Wyoming, in.
January, 1912, Robert d. Meldrum on
Wednesday of this week entered the
states prison in this city on an inde-l
terminate sentence of not less than
five years nor more than seven years.
The sentence was> passed by Judge
Reynolds of Newcastle, sitting in
Cheyenne, and was in obedience to
verdict of manslaughter rendered by
Laramie county jury. The third
and last trial occurred in the capitol
city, where it was taken on a change
of venure. and the verdict is reduc-
ton in degree from that returned at
former trial.
''Meldrum accepted his fate resign
edly, and told the friends who had re-
mained close to him during the trial
in Cheyenne that it was his purpose
to try and earn an abbreviation Of the
sentence. There were, however, ap-
parent signs of dependency in his de-
meanor, from which arose a fear that
he might attempt self-destruction
rather than enter the grim, shadow.
For that reason he was hurried to
Rawlins as quickly after the sentence
as possible. Although formal motion
for a new trial was made, it is
thought that this famous case has now
reached it's end" '
Miss Jennie Bowen, sister of the
slain man, who left here about two
months ago to attend the last trial of
Meldrum for the murder of her broth
en-, and who is expected home some
time in the near future, made many
friends during her stay in Cheyenne,
as is shown by the following clipping
from the Wyoming Tribune of Chey-
enne, dated June 27. 1916:
Miss Jennie Bowen. sister of John
Bowen, who was killed at Baggs, Wy
oming. by Robert Meldrum, has been
in Cheyenne several days attending
the Meldrum trial. Miss Bowen comes
from Hendersonville, North Carolina,
and arrived at Rawlins two months
ago. where the third trial was sched-
uled to be called. Since that time she
has been visiting in BaggsJ Wyoming,
and Battle Creek, Colorado. She is a
very modest, attractive young lady,
and by her demeanor during the case
has won sympathy and friends from
both the defense and the prosecution
After a visit to Denver and Battle
Creek, Colo. Miss Bowen will return
to her North Carolina home"

Freight Train Leaves Track at Point
Near TryOn-N0 One Was Hurt.
Five cars and the engine of a west
bound freight were derailed at the
81 mile post just above Tryon early
Monday morning and traffic on the
AsheviIle- -Spartanburg division of the
Southern Railway was delayed con-
siderably Trains Nos. Al and AZ
transferred passengers and westbound
Carolina Special and Train No. 10
were the first to pass the wreck.
The wet condition of the fill which
caused the track to give way under
the heavy weight of the freight train
was responsible for the wreck, and
land the cars and engine were piled in
a confused mass down the side of the
embankment. No one was hurt.
All trains ran late Monday and the
track was not repaired ready for use
until late Monday evening.

r. Reid of Clemson College, S. c., as
