To the Fditor of The News-Herald: In your last week's issue, unde-r "Be fair with Mr. Webb," you attack Mr. C. H. Mebane, of the Catawba County News, who is a gentleman of high personal standing and one of our State's useful citizens, and an article written by myself in last week's Morganton Messenger. I did not mean for this article to be published, but the editor put it in through a very natural mis take. Since it has been attacked by vou, please permit me to an swer the criticism in your valued columns. It was not my intention to do Congressman W ebb any injustice; he is quite a nice fellow, good mixer, and the best handshaker that ever visited the district. It is a Burke county privilege much used to criticise public servants, who so often think themselves our masters. I, too, helped nom inate Mr. Webb and shared my bed with him upon that occasion, and the latch-string still hangs on the outside. I now stand ready to help nominate Mr. E. R. Preston, but not for life, only upon good behavior. The above article referred to states that Congressman Carlin was promoted to the chairman ship of the Judiciary Committee over Congressman Webb, where as, it should have said that he was promoted to the Chairman ship of the Judiciary Sub-Committee over Mr. Webb. We all know that the work to be done in this Congress, by this com mittee, is to frame such laws as will curb the power of the trusts and combines, which have grown and flourished under the high protective tariff of the Republi can party. The sub-committee to lo this work is that of "Civil and Criminal Law," of which Mr. Carlin has been appointed chairman. To this committee President Wilson will look to draft such bills as are necessary to check the trusts and combines and thereby restore competition and give the many struggling enterprises of the South new life. Now the report comes from Washington that our repre sentative is not in harmony with our President's administration, and so persistent and alarming is this rumor that Mr. Webb is ask ing the papers to deny it. You criticise my having ob jected to Mr. Webb's pairing with Congressman Rainey, of Il linois, and failing to stand up like a man and vote against that outrageous pension bill, which imposed a still greater burden upon us in order to support the nteo-gra.id children of Mr, ..Uvirwy's constituent who fol io we- the flag, and the collateral ! d:scendants of those who fol lowed Kirk in his merciless raids upon cur helpless children and crying children, when their hus bands and fathers were at the front. If Congressman Rainey is such a splendid gentleman of course he would pair with Mr. Webb if he requested it. If he had paired with Congressman Rainey and had expressed any desire whatever to be released, so that he could honestly repre sent those that well pay him for his work, that splendid gentle man would have releasee him im mediately. He was not released and failed to vote. His friend, Congressman Gudger, actually the ine Nc-ws-Herald offers ., ae Ntws-Hearld, the Progres- farmer and The Thrice-A- World for $2.00. .Vws-Herald and The ;:ce-A-Veek World for $1.50. lr;e N-.vs-Hprald. the Semi- Vly Charlotte Observer and 'i.rif'c.-A wt, (it.ij conn , - "-licet '1U11U J.UI yu.w, Ml' Fiber: fese rates apply only to sub- s who pay in advance. tesponsi ible $10.

With poor blood we are lan guid, susceptible to coids, lack natural energy and ambition, and the gradual decline of strength makes prompt and careful treatment necessary. Drugs or alcohol cannot make blood and must be avoided. Scott's Emulsion is nature's grandest blood-maker because of its wholesome medical nourishment, so carefully predigested that it assimi latcs without taxing digestion and quickly increases the red corpuscles of the blood, strengthens the organs and tissues and upbuilds the whole system. . Absolutely nothing compares with Scott's Emulsion to purify and en rich the blood to overcome or avoid anaemia. It is totally free from al cohol or opiates and your health de mands the purity of Scott's. Scott & Bo wee. Bloomfield, N. J, tt-85 had the audacious courage to vote for this pension bill. Both of these gentlemen have been severely criticised for their acts and stand alone in their failure to respond to the call of the South, in her efforts to be re lieved of political burdens. Let me ask what would Zeb Vance have done? The great impul sive hearts of the people of the South are willing to pension Union Soldiers whom they put out of commission on the field of battle but this pension graft has long passed the limit Your article states that Mr. Webb never introduced a bill to make Catawba river navigable up to Charlotte. Will he deny that he advocated such a very ridiculous bill? As to Mr. Webb's being true to his friends, Isaac Avery's friends wanted his endorsement for Assistant District Attorney and he endorsed another. Manly McDowell's friends wanted his endorsement for Marshal, and see how he stood by him. Sena tor Overman had the appointing power for this position and had promised it to McDowell. I am told that Mr. Webb informed McDowell's friends that he was for him and would sleep with the Senator until he was appointed. J. F. Spainhour went to v Wash ington to get McDowell ap pointed and asked Mr. Webb to go with him to see the Senator for McDowell. He told him that he was for McDowell b at refused to go to see the Senator for him, after there was absolutely no chance for the appointment of any other man to this position from our District. During this time, I am told that he made Mr. L. H. Robinson, of Mecklenburg, believe that he was for him for Marshal and wrote "Dear Brother Lark" that he had been to see Senator Overman for him and had said a lot of good things for him and would say more. It is useless to say that the Marshal ship went out of the District to another Webb. The only party service that I have ever heard of Mr. Webb's rendering his Burke county fol lowers, that gave him his first nomination, during his long ser vice was to get one man ap pointed policeman in Washington City. R. L. Huffman applied to him for the Congressman's clerk ship and he offered it to him for three months at $95.00 per month, which he refused, as the law provides this position shall pay $125.00 per month for twelve months. He then offered it to him for six months, which was also refused. It is reported that he showed a Glen Alpine repub lican ovev Washington in an auto mobile. If he had spent this much time going to Senator Overman for Manly McDowell and reminding him of his prom ise McDowell would very likely have seen Washington too. Mr. E. R. Preston is an able and aggressive young lawyer. He made Mecklenburg county a splendid representative in the Legislature and has done much toward making Charlotte a city and gave her the popular slogan "Watch Charlotte Grow." He has done a great work for the shippers of our State by his fight for "Just Freight Rates" and the farmers and land owners owe him an everlasting debt of gratitude for efforts for the Torrens system of register ing lands, thereby making it possible to register . lands once for all and to stop the everlast ing lawyer bills for looking up abstracts of titles. I am now ready to join hands with his people and give him a trial in Congress, but only upon good behavior and not for life. If he behaves like Zeb Vance, (and who can say he will not?) I am ready to help put him in the Senate and keep him there. Truly, J. E. Erwin. Morganton, N. C, Feb. 26, 1914. Geo. W. Vanderbilt of Biltmore Dead. Washington Dispatch, 6th. George-W. Vanderbilt, 52 years old, multi-millionaire, philan thropist and sportsman of inter national reputation, died here at 1 o'clock this afternoon from heart failure following an oper ation for appendicitis Tuesday. His death came suddenly. Although seriously ill for some time, Mr. Vanderbilt had sus tained the operation and con tinued to show signs of improve ment until complications unex pectedly arose. George Washington Vanderbilt was the youngest and probably the least known of the sons of the late William H. Vanderbilt. He never took an active part in business and finances where other members of the family gained wealth and distinction. He was a student and a traveler and his chief interest was his magnificent estate at Biltmore near Asheville, N. C, where he spent the greater part of his time. Mr. Vanderbilt was born in the old Vanderbilt home at New Dorp, Staten Island, November 14, 1862. In 1885 he became inter ested in the mountain region of western North Carolina and bv successive purchases he accumu lated an estate of 100,000 acres on the French Broad river, and laid out there a vast park, and erected buildings - on a scale which seldom has been equalled in this country. Mr. Vanderbilt devoted most of his time to the personal supervision of this estate. In the valley he built a model town and called it Bilt- v-ra A All 1 'il more, ills iarms were niiea witn blooded stock and he devoted thousands of dollars to the scien tific conservation of the forests which covered the greater part of his property. George Vanderbilt's fortune was never a factor in Wall Street. He was supposed, however to be one of America's wealthiest men. He had a number of charities and he spent money without stint upon the development of his mountain estate. He seldom came to New York, but spent part of his Sumrres at Bar Har bor, Maine, where he had a hand some home. In 1898 Mr. Vanderbilt mar ried Miss Edith Stuyvesant Dres ser. Mrs. Vanderbilt and one child, a daughter, survive him. being held at Washington Ca thedral, the largest church in the world, a small group of friends of the dead man will as semble in the little church at Biltmore, where a like service will be held. An effort was made to have the body sent to Biltmore for this service, but relatives of Mr. Vanderbilt de cided otherwise. There was an uncomfirmed ru mor that Mr. Vanderbilt's will provides that his estate at Bilt more shall be turned over to the government as a part of the Ap alachian park reserve. This would mean that the vast acre age would continue to be kept open for the thousands of visi tors to that section. Art Collection Wanted. New York Dispatch, 7th. It has been understood in art circles of New York City that George W. Vanderbilt, who died in Washington yesterday, in tended to leave the Metropolitan Museum of Art the splendid col lection of modern paintings gathered by his father, William H. Vanderbilt. The collection comprises 135 pictures, bought between the years 1868 and 1885, many of which now are priceless. The gem of the collection one of the best known pictures in the world is Millet's "The Sower."

Dies in Wife's Arms Provisions of the Will. Washington Special, 7th, to Greensboro News. Mr. Vanderbilt was seriously ill for several days before the fact of his illness became gener ally known here. His death oc curred at 1 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, but the latest editions of the Washington papers carried no announcement Scores of newspaper men sought informa tion at the residence, only to be told by some servant that a statement would be made "in due course." The Times here referred in this way to the death of Mr. Vander bilt: "Mr. Vanderbilt evidently realized that his death was near when he was suddenly seized with a fit of violent coughing. His physician, Dr. James F. Mitchell, turned to the bedside when the first cough shook the millionaire. Mr. Vanderbilt however, raised himself slightly in bed and whisnered the name of his wife, 'Edith.' "Mrs. Vanderbilt kneeled be side the bed and put her arms about her husband. With a quiet sigh he settled back in her arms. and in a moment was dead. Mrs Vanderbilt, as soon as she re alized that her husband had died quietly turned to the little girl and said. "Your father has left us, dear." Dr. Rush Rodney Swope, pas tor of All Souls' church, of Ashe ville, of which Mr. Vanderbilt was a' member, will conduct the funeral services at Washington Cathedral chapel Monday at noon The body will then be taken to New York where the remains will be interred. It is stated on good reliable authority that the will of Mr. Vanderbilt provides liberally for the support of All Souls church and the Memorial hospital of Biltmore, which he founded. Jnst how much is set aside for these institutions it is not made Iknownto the public at this time, but it it said to be a very large amount While the funeral e?vices are "The Uplift," a monthly jour nal issued from the Stonewall Jackson Training School at Con cord, is again being sent our reg ularly with Mr. J. P. Cook, its former editor, "again at the helm." The typesetting is done by the boys of the institution. The paner was started in the early days of the "school by Mr. Cook, who three years ago "on account of circumstances beyond his making or control, quietly side-stepped, unnoticed and un sung," to quote him, and since that time the Uplift has been making its appearance irregu larly.
