HENDERSONVILLE HAS
FIRST WEAVER HEARING.
Question Of Illegal Votes Consumes
Considerable Part of the First
Days Hearing.

La-
Hearing in the congressional con-
test between Congressman Weaver
and James ]. Britt opened in Hender-
son county at the court house ON last
Thursday morning before Gordon F.
Darlington, commissioner. The inter-
ests of Congressman Weaver were
looked after by Judge P. G. Cooke Of
Asheville, while Judge o. v, F. Blythe,
represented the contestant, MI. Britt.
Almost all of the morning session
was devoted to testimony tending to
'disprove some of the evidence pro-
duced ia favor of Mr.. Britt at a for
mer hearing, after which about thirty
witnesses were introduced to show
that many alleged illegal votes were
cast for the republican candidate. 1t
was in evidence that some twenty
voters had failed to pay a poll tax, but
had cast a ballot in the congressional
election for Mr.. Britt. At Flat Rock
precinct alone six alleged illegal votes

One of the interesting features of
morning session came when a voter
from Flat Rock was placed upon tho
witness stand. 1t was also alleged
that several voters had added to the
republican strength in Henderson who

BEING GOOD AMERICANS.
(By Thos. J. Rickman.)

In the presence of what is taking
place in this grand old world of ours,
and the part Americans are expected
to play, the year 1917, should find
every man and woman too, with a
mind to make this the most useful
year of each individual life. 1t lis
surely a good tie for every man to be
a little better nan and every woman
to make this her best year. A few
suggestions as to how this may tbe
done should not be out of place, with
Hustler readers. In h face of con-
ditions, as to food and clothing, why
not practice the greatest economy
I've known to U.S., in u careers? In
the matter of economy in foods, this
writer does not believe our North Car
Dina people need very much to- be
complained against as their good com
mon sense, in the presence of world
war conditions and the great crop
failures in consequence of last years
freshets, but how about it when it
| comes TO the matter of clothing? DO
we need to spend thousands Of dollars
10 keep up with French styles of dress
for women? The French women
themselves, the English woman, the
Italian women. the Spanish women,
all are said to be resolved, to find the
material and make of their dress n
their own country and that they will
also keep it up after the war is over.
Sensible American ladies will wonder
why it was ever necessary for mil
! lions and hundreds of millions of dol
lars to be SEM to Paris in order for
them to become demi-mondane laugh
ing stock, of their own American
sisters.
We all want to be neatly and COM
fortably clad, but do we want to be
idlers, do we want to be jobless, DO
we want o.be tO.c-free, do we want
our efforts to be useless and fruitless?
if not, then let all De willing to become
common people.
Pink teas, tangos and turkey t.ots,
are hardly within the line of propr1et7
during the awful times of 1917. The
man or woman who would want 10
i pull of such stunts and so squandt r
their time, in these times of trouble,
deserves to go into oblivion, though
this writer see nO improperly, in the
old fashioned poetic motion dance,
when conducted in honorable fashion.
There is useful work for all In this
world at this dreadful time. as never
before, in all history and shall we not
all heed the opportunity af
ver our hands find to do, do il with
} our might Our brothers are already
In the field and why stand we idle? II

But about the Kanuga project. 1t
was a pretty close cali the Kanugans
had. Mr.. Qeorge Stephens aarrlved
at Washington Thursday morning
with a delegation of protestanrs FROM
Charlotte, and within an hour Of their
arrival word came that the train was
poading at Ellis Island and would
start i'll an hour with the first party
of Germans for Kanuga. Mr.. Steph-
ems hurriedly got his delegation to-
gether and with Congressman Webb,
MIR. Comeron Morrison, Hon. A. w.
Mclean, who owns a lot there, hur-
ried to the Department of Labor.
Upon the representation that Mr..
Gresham was not empowered to negO-
tiate such a lease for the property the
mater was instantly held up and the
train orders Cancelled.

had not reached their legal majority.
At Flat Rock it was also shown that two
voters had come from South Carolina
and had participated in the Tenth dis
trict contest. The evidence THURSDAY
afternoon disclosed some nine or ten
unmarked ballots which were cast for
weaver but which, it was claimed,
were not counted for the present con-
@pressman.

CHARLOTTE OBSERYER'S VIEW
on GERMAN MPERNMENT CAMP

The following is reproduced from
an editorial correspondence by Wade
II Harris editor OF the Charlotte OBJ
server. who was in Washington at the
the time. and which appeared in the
Observer last Saturday morning:
*eThe proposed movement of Ger
man prisoners to Kanuga was but an
initial step. 1t seems pretty we'll I'M
| dcrtsood that as 500 as arrangements
can be made a large number OF Aus
Itrian prisoners of war will be
brought to this country, and the ex-
p~ectation was to c~olonize them dur
ing the term of their captivity in Wes-
tern North Carolina. The Observer
learns quite direct that the Germans
who were intended for Kanuga will
be placed in the vicinity of Mount Pts
gah. on the Governments reservation.
They will build homes for themselves
picturesque mountain cottages, which
will become a State asset-and mean
time they will also be utilized 1
building a Government system OF good
roads through the reservation, so that
when the wal ends, the mountain sec
ton in that part of the State will ind
itself equipped with the same sort or
roads which have opened up the wes-
tern park to the world. If the Aus
TRAN prisoners are brought over the
proposition is to locate them in the
Mount Mitchell section and build a
system of good roads for that part OF
the Government. so that he Appa1a-
chan National Park in this State will
come into possession Of a net work or
good roads years before such a result
otherwise could have been hoped for.
Next to putting these Germans to
work on the farms no better system
of development could be devised than
to put them to building houses and
opening up the forest reserve to the
world by building good roads. This
was the program under consideration
Friday, and The Observer believes it
is going to be carried out.

Immediately moved to Kanuga from
Boston, New Orleans and San Francis

sand in ali, and more were to come. In
addition to the rental of $12,500 a year
for the property, it is understood that
Mr.. Gresham VISA to act as purchas-
ing agent at about three thousand dol
lars a month There was said to
have been somewhat of q controversy
between Congressman Webb and Con-
gresham Weaver, the latter repre-
senting people of HendersonVille who
wanted the Germans there. The Gov
eminent had it's heart set on Kanuga
because it had ready to hand the ho-
tells and cottages, lights and water
and other conveniences. The loca-
ton of this detention camp will make
the community an immense center for
! trading in supplies and other things,
and Hendersonville is understood to
be making an earnest effort to secure
it for that vicinity,
