cate with De Valera, which was very
difficult. However, one Sim Feiner
started working on n garden plot, OF
which there were several near the
prison. lie attracted De Valera's at
tention one day by singing Sim Fein
songs in Gaelic, in which he told the
leader that an attempt would be
made 20 rescue him.
This man appeared again several
days later and sang a ballad. In
which he told De Valera that the rear
exit OF tho prison was the most
feasible for the attempt, and asked
De Valera to secure an impression Of
the key to the gates.
The impression OF the key was Sc

which was making a paste OF bread

while this was going on four Sim
Feners escaped from the Usk prison
In Wales, and this caused the Author
tiles TO double the guards OF all tho
jsils and postponed the release OF
de Valera.
COLLEGE GIRLS IMPORTED TO
LURE GUARDS AWAY.
THE sentries about the rear OF the
prison were q grave menace to the
plans. and the committee tried 10 find
girls in the neighborhood who could
be employed TO influence them. This
attempt was given up. however. and
finally a telegram was sent to Dublin
for two handsome young women,
both highly cultured university y
graduates. who arrayed themselves
as shopgirls and crossed the Channel.
THE girls deliberately set out TO
fiirt with the soldiers. and soon ca me

Valera was informed by code in q
letter that Feb was set for his es-
cape and the procedure to be fol-
lowed was outlined as much as pos.
sible. This little code had been ar
ranged for Just such an emergency
before De Valera was Imprisoned.
"On the eve OF Feb. s. four motor.
cars packed with Irlshmen were sem

police. At 4 o'clock the prisoners were
brought in from their period OF exer.
Use. They then had a three hour
period for wandering about the prison
before they were locked up for tn,
night.
'In tho dusk. shortly after 4 o'clock
the girls appeared and enticed tn,
guards from the rear OF the prison a,

ers quickly cut a path through the
barbed wire.

mittee, said the constitution OF the
League as presented to the Peace
Conference sanctions, breeds and
commands war"
The Pennsylvania senator said
that II the people Of the United
states desired what he termed a real
League of Nations TO prevent war
and mot merely build n coalition TO
further trade or preserve and eN-
pend territorial possessions" II
might be secured through the for
alton Of an international organiza-
lion comprising all the nations OF
the world.
Senator Knox said the constitution
of such an International coalition
should primarily declare war an In
ternational crime and Btipulate that
any nation engaging in 1t except In
self defense be punished by the
world as an international criminal.
He also suggested that the constltu-
ton provide that International dis
putes be decided by an international
court, according TO an International
code defining war; that no nation
could summon another before the
court unless the subject under dis
cusslon was Of common concern TO
tho contendinE nations and that
jurisdiction of the court not extend
10 matters OF Governmental policy.
Under such a code, Senator Knox
declared, America would not, as In
event the present plan for League
ot Nations were realized, be called
upon 20 arbitrate "the policy In
volved In the Monroe Doctrine, our
conservation policy; our immigra-
tin policy. our right 20 expel aliens.
our right TO repel invasion and TO
maintain military and naval estab-
ilshments; our right 10 make neces-
sary fortifications at the Panama
Canal or on our frontiers, and our
right 20 dlscrim nate between ma
tives and foreigners In respect to
rights OF property and citizenship"
EACH HEMISPHERE TO EN-
FORCE ITS OWN DEGREES.
Among other suggestions for the
constitution, Senator Knox said 1t
should provide that the countries OF
the two hemispheres be called upon
TO enforce DEGREES OF the interna-
tional court only In their respective
hemispheres.
"a league framed on these broad
lines" he continued. would carry
with II minimum loss OF our
sovereignty. would relieve us from
participation In the broils OF Europe;
would preserve the Monroe Doctrine
and would save America from tho
results OF European intrigue and ag-
gression.'
Senator Knox said he had not
reached negative conclusions In re-
gard TO the constitution OF the pro-
posed league through unfriendllncss
or bias. He said he was against
war even 10 the extent OF seeing the
United States make the utmost sac
rifices possible, but that he wanted
to feel sure that when the offering
OF the United States had been placed
upon the altar and burned this
country should have measurably

FORTY YEARS AGO

There was some crowd in Hender-
sonville on last Fourth, but there was
some crowd here forty years ago that
very same day, too.
1t was the day HendersonviIle's
first railroad came to town, and the
celebration was big one. There was
a barbecue on the Jones hill, near the
depot, and there was an enormous
crowd there to partake of the roast
beef. The day was fine, the same as
last Friday, but nearly all other par
ttculrs of the celebration are too dim
for Judge G. M. Pace to recall.
The engines, there were two trains
came to town during the day, probably
burned wood. They hauled fiat cars,
on which were rough seats, and the
trains operated from Spartanburg to
Asheville, from which two towns the
road derived it's name.

Surely, she was but asleep-so very
peaceful did she appear, so gentle
and so quite undisturbed. But it was
the sleep of the last brief night be-
fore the days dawn, it, was the be-
ginning and not the end of life for
Mrs. F. G. Burroughs, found asleep
in her daughters home on Fourth
avenue few hours after sunrise last
Monday
1t was, in truth, such a beginning
Of life as she had often wished for,
just to slip quietly away, and so this
wish was granted this aged lady,
mother of Mrs J. L. Egerton. She
had lived for 73 useful years, was a
little bit tired and was quite ready.
A useful life and charitable one,
truly, for ever her home had been
the home of others needing a help
ing hand. The hymn, LEAD, Kindly
Light" was her favorite one and the
Light burned ever steadfast in her
heart and home.
Mrs. Burroughs had been i'll for
months. She came here from Con-
way, S. c., in May and had, ap-
parently gained in health and in
strength. The services commemorat-
ing her return to Conway, held Mon
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Egerton, were very beautiful because
they were very simple. There were
fiowers-many, many flowers. And
her favorite hymns were sung
Lead, Kindly Light" and "Abide
With Me-" A son and a daughter,
D. M. Burroughs and Mrs. J. L. Eyer
ton, returned with her and so now
she rests in Lakeside cemetery by the
side of her husband.
She had been a member of the
Conway Methodist church since girl
hood, and nearly always were preach
ers guests at "Snow Hill," the old
home by the lake. There are chill
dren and grandchildren and other
near and dear relatives, some waiting
for her, some for whom she is now
waiting herself.
The children still here are:
F. G. Burroughs, Conway, S. c.,
and his children. Miss Jessamine, Ed
win, Henry and Virginia.
Mrs. J. L. Egerton, Hendersonville.
Mrs. Edwin Sherwood, Conway; and
her children, Adelyn and Sarah.
Donald M. Burroughs and his chill
dren, Lallah, Donald, Jean, and
George.
Mrs. S. G.. Godfrey, Cheraw, S. c.,
and her children, Esther and Lucille.
Jack and Franklin, sons of the late
Arthur Burroughs.
Those no longer here are:
Mrs. Hal Buck, nee Lallah Bur-
roughs, and Miss Ruth Burroughs.
Arthur Burroughs and three childfen
died in childhood.
Mrs. Burroughs remaining sisters
are Mrs. B. G. Collins and Mrs. Ellen
Johnson of Conway, and Mrs. James
Holmes of Moultrie, Ga.

dates do the strange things they were
told to do. Perhaps what some of
them thought about it all would never
do to print in The Hustler, but they
were tested and none of them failed
the test-not even that unnamed man
who was clad only in open work fly
netting and whose modesty was hurt
so that it may never recover. Also
the modesty of others.
This was a part of the public cere-
monial. The secret part of it all was
carried out in the new garage Of The
Hendersonville Automobile company,
where the candidates we're admitted
one at a time and where the slow
music of the fine Oasis band was tie
only cheerful sound around. And
even the band was playing some aw-
fully sad pieces, as you might say.
But it was appropriate, for some Of
the candidates were sad, too The in
terror of the garage was & uiu ard
mysterious looking place with many
engines of torment deeply shrouded
and covered. What happened there
only the Shriners and he candidates
know and they won: tell. But the
candidates all say what har! Cned
there was quite enough, IS it we're.
The Parade
The parade was, Nv all means, the
most brilliant ever in this city, and
would have done fullest credit to a
city many times the size Of Henier-
sonville. 1t was we'll over a mile Iona
and starting from the Carolina Ter.
race, marched the length of Muir
street and passed itself coming back.
The parade was headed by Potentate
R. ]. Noble and the divan, making a
most brillint spectacle in their gor-
geous raiment of many splendid color
ings. They were followed by the su-
perb band of forty pieces from Oasis
Temple and by the patrol from the
temple. Then came the military ca
diets from the Carolina Military-Naval
acdemy, who mde fine show in their
natty and spotless white uniforms,
while their number gave the specta-
tors an idea of the Importance of this
latest addition to Hendersonville s
educational institutions. The boys
from Blue Ridge and from Laurel
Park helped to swell the parade, in
which there were, of course, hundreds
of red fezzed men.
But for some reason or another,
popular interest seemed centered in
the candidates Themselves very i'm
portant part Of the parade. There
were nearly 800 of them, some OF
them walking, but many of them in
cages suitably labeled. The cOnvicts'
cage, drawn by Fordson tractor, was
marked ''Malefactors of Greal
Welth," but they looked to be maie-
factors of great misery at that time.
Especially when the man with the
bucket of eggs came upon the scene.
For he was a good marksman and MS
supply of ammunition was ample. He
didn't miss once Some of the Shrln-
ers say they are going to find that
man with the bucket of eggs and when
they do find him there's going to be
news item in the papers with large
headlines.

The Shriners picnic cercncnia:
held here on the Fourth Of JuIv will
always be memorable as marking the
opening OF a record-breaking seasun
with a record-breaking crowd-a
crowd which exceeded all expectations
and which simply filled the town.
AS to the ceremonial itself, Oasis
Temple nor any other temple i'll the
south ever staged a more succeSsfui
one, nor one more full of enjoyment
for everybody. That is, for every body
except the candidates for admission
to the shrine, who numbered ESQ anG
who are now slowly recovering from
the effects of their treatment.
Estimates as to the size Of tnI
crowd here varies. They began COM
ing early On the morning Of the third
and past midnight ON the Fourth &hey-
were still coming. Postmaster ). I.
Bryson believes there were 15.9C5
visitors here Hilliard Station believes
there were 10000, including the regu-
lar summer tourists.
Main street was a somewhat Crowc-
ed throughfare, and yet only a small
part of the crowd was there. AT i4au
rel Park the numbers OF people enjoy
ing themselves was simply immense
and never before had the mos beaI@l-
full park in America held any number
even approximating it in size At the
Carolina Terrace were more, at Stoney
Mountain still more, and they were
everywhere 1t is said that from
S25. 900 to $4,000 was left here by the
visitors. Whatever was left, goodly
share of il went to the drug stores,

almost impossible to gain admittancc.

Crowd Well Handled
And everybody seemed to be having
the time of their lives. Barring an
accident at Eautel Park and IN nn-
accident al Laurel Park and an un-
pleasant incident on Min street, moth
ing happened all during tic tW" days
to mar their pleasure. There "ere. a
lumber of sp2c al officers on duty da-
ing the two days and the street trai-
fic was handled admirably. There
were hundreds of strange motor cars
in the city, and probably not many left
in upper South Carolina, still there
were no accidents in the downtown
portion. Sure. the street reminded
: you of Broadway at Forty-second
street in New York, and it was no
.irae to drepm while crossing the
street, but everything went along
smoothly AMI pleasantly.
Aside from the sufferings OF the
candidates, the big feature OF the two
days>eBremonial was the street pa
rade during the morning OF the FourIn
This was preceded and followed by the
stunts of the candidates, done on Main

were initiated in the new garage of
the Hendersonville Automobile COM
pany shortly after this. This was
done that their strength might not
fail them. The street dance closed
the two days fun.
Business Session
The business session of the cere-
monial consisted of passing upon the
candidates, the transaction of routine
business and the reception of visiting
potentates. The invitation of Sudan
Temple to attend the conclave to be
held at Newbern in December was ac-
cepted,
The ceremonial began with the az
rival of Potentate R. j. Noble and the
divan on a special train from Char
lotte. Later in the day came the pa
troll and band of forty pieces of Oasis
Temple and as they marched up Main
street on the. evening of the third the
town seemed to take. on new life. And
it did, for from then on there was
something doing all the time. A spe-
ciaI train filled with shriners came
from Knoxville, and altogether there
were thirty temples represented a:
the ceremonial The delegats came
from ninteen states, one of them from
far-off Oregon. Many were here from
Virginia and certainly South Caro-
lima was we'll represented.
The Shriners believe in letting you
know they, and you, are alive. So
they ushered in the Glorious Fourth in
their own pleasant way. They came
prepared to do this. Part of the pre-
paration consisted of about thousand
giant fire crackers-real giant fire
crckers, which made a loud SOUND
when they exploded. And they were
exploded at the very time when sleep
seemed sweetest to many, and that
was during the eafly hours of the
Fourth. They were exploded where
most Shriners were sleeping but they
didn't want to sleep just then. 1t was
the noisest Fourth of July morning
these solemn old mountains have ever
listened to. 49,
Some Stunts
There was a reception of candidates
early. Friday morning. This was
followed by the candidates doing
things they really didn't want to do
but which they had to do and which
furnished pleasure and innocent joy
and merriment to the thousands who
watched them doing it. Brownlow
Jackson. whose many, friends declare
be is headed straight for Washington,

Woodrow Wilson for the third term.
Rut he did it. and did it with smile,
although some of his friends almost
had heart failure at the sight. Then
there was Charley Morrow, of the
First Bank, who was wheeled all up
and down Main street by Josh"

one lady stopped to admire the baoy'
either.
G. M. Glazener, another candidate
for the shrine, was captured while a:

upon his head and carry a cute little
baby nipple in his mouth for the rest
of the evening. Bait he did it. And
