THE HENDKKSON OFFICERS AND THE HAWKINS CASE. . "There is an impression," says the Charlotte Observer, "that justice is rriovlnt? with a leaden heel in Hen dersonville." It finds one amusinn note in the sad tragedy, "the shadowy nnd yet exaggerated importance which some of the reporters seem to attach to the presence In the town of detec tives and their activity in the case. The word is spoken with awe and, air of implied conclusiveness, as if an un clouded sun would now shine where Stygian darkness had reigned so far These impressionable writers would signify to the curious-minded readers that these men of cat-like tread and secret methods, undoubtedly skilled in ferreting out the perpetrators of crime, can take a fragment of fact and therefrom construct an ichthyo saurus for the court and public to gaze upon; that they can take the print of a rundown shoeheel nnd therefrom deduce and follow a train of circumstances that will expose turpitude in its lair; that they can furnish witnesses to scenes that were not viewed by spectators, supply miss ing evidence; and aH- but make sua pectg confess their guilt and throw themselves upon the mercy of the court. "Such is far from the fact, for they possess no supernatural force or In tluence, and can turn up few facts In this instance that are not already ap parent to those who have read th stories in connection with the incident. When intelligent people have Hifreed upon what kind of story they are go ing to tell, it la not a matter for a de tective, but for a shrewd' cross-exam' Iner who will soon have them contra dicting each other and themselves to boot. There Is no particular demand in that case for detectives. The evi dence is sufficient for the grand jury- to return true bills, then the crim inal court may take charge and do its inexorable work. Of course, the coroners investigation should be as wide and thorough as circumstances seem to warrant, for many questions are competent now that could not be propounded in a court room." There has been a good deal of criti cism of the course of the inquiry mostly attributable to its failure to bear fruit, as anything that fails of success is criticised. Hut it does not seem to us that anything like con clusive Judgment as to whether there has been negligence or lack of zul shown can tie reached at this stage of the inquiry. The officials if Hendersonville will be judged by the final facts. Crime done by the unprofessional criminal ll not usually shrouded In much ob curity, although occasionally such i case may baffle the best trained in telllgence. It la just possible that had the coroner, In the first Instance, pursued the inquiry according to the present method, summoning every noay wno mignt possibly have any crap of Information bearing on the rase to offer, th result would not haw been markedly different The facts may prove that this dragging progress of the Inquiry was the best course, in breaking down the nerve of the guilty, to follow in serving the ends of Justice. " But If they never do find out who killed Myrtle Hawkins then we greatly fear that the officials will have to submit themselves to the bur den of popular criticism, and without remedy. For that la the lot of those In public trust who fail in important undertakings, no matter what ability, honesty and seal they may display. . a . ? ' - iv t : ., 4 ..' ' "Itm GOVERNORS AND STATES' BIGHTS. Now that a great calm ones more envelops Byrlng -Lake, a passing glance at the doings of the governors there may be profitable. This year's gathering of executives attracted more attention than previous ones and in fact more than is usually accorded the unofficial deliberations of states men. But that was entirely fitting. I'ince Ciil. Hooaevelt hus swapped the 1! ; tit lik f..r a quill this favored re I ' c li more ruled with awoken word or printers ink rather than by an Iron hand, and some tendencies of real importance' might have .-been discerned In that clearing-house of ideas. The most interesting feature, per haps, was the lusty defense of State rights, which must have been as in cense to the shade of the departed Calhoun. The ability of the several States to regulate many matters in which it has become the fashion to pijay for national guidance was em phasized, and the tendencies to look to the Federal courts for adjudica tion of many matters which earlier constructions of the constitution had considered entirely beyond the scope of the general government was depre cated in no uncertain terms. Gov ernors from the west, whose constit uents seem to favor a strongly pa- ernal government, in some instances bordering on state socialism, were list as pronounced in expression na,dlstrIct hose from the south, long considered he hotbed of State rights. In this nnnertion the nubile was treated to' . genuine surprise when the confer nce voted to frame some sort of a irotest to the Supreme court against he ruling of an inferior Federal (iurt, in a case upon which the higher tribunal is expected to pass on appeal. Just wnai view wie ermlned dignitaries will take of this method of apprising them of guber natorial sentiment on a judicial ques tion, and just how they may be ex pected to take cognizance of it, are nteresting subjects for conjecture. That this conference is destined to exercise a real anil marked lnnuence seems manliest, iso matter wnui their political beliefs or their geo graphical environment. State execu tives are notoriously tennclous of their rights as against Federal encroach ment, and always have been, probably because at. all-wise Providence has planted in each human being the latent conviction that he Is or might to lie the biggest frog In the partic ular puddle where he is supposed to be the biggest frog. The collective opinion of this body will carry more weight than the individual expressions of various executives and will likely keep alive a sentiment which will powerfully combat the centralizing trend. Not only this, but the various governors wHl be enabled to gain a better idea of country-wide 'senti ment, geographical lines will in a measure be broken, and greater uni formity In legislation on matters needing concerted action will be attained. SUPERIIlIEiENIu AND PRINCIPALS School Officials of Western District Will Meet Here September 27. The superintendents of public in struction and the high school princi pals of the western educational dis trict of North Carolina will hold a three days' meeting here at the court house, beginning September 27. It Is expected that there will be about 50 teachers and superintendents In at tendance. The western educational is composed of 17 counties west of the lilue Kldge. The program has not yet been arranged but the purpose of the meeting is to discuss the methods of teaching and the problems of teachers and superin tendents. The superintendents are required to attend these district meetings and It provided that their expenses be THE MARKETS CATAWBA AND SOME OTHERS. "We have a pressing Inquiry," says the Hickory Democrat, "from our good friend-. Postmaster Chariest F. Mc Kesson, of Morganton as to the mean ing of the beautiful word 'Catawba.' He says 'of course you know. You are from there.' But we don't. We know that Swannanoa means 'Nymph of Ueauty' and Tahkeeostee 'racing waters' but we confess that Catawba Is the first Indian word we ever took acquaintance with which has no meaning. We are of opinion that it used to have one until the Dutch came and that they, not having any partic ular use for either etymology or po esy, sold or traded it" The late Col. Allen T. Davidson said that "Swannanoa" means "Swsssh!" if one tries to say it, and, more poet ically "the Bweep of a great bird's wing," to discrlbe it. "Racing waters" is correct, and we ought, as has ben remarked several hundred times, to say "Tahkeeostee" instead of "French Kroad." Some time since this paper sug gested as ideals for Buncombe county good roads and good schools for every locality; good, comfortable, well-painted farm houses, running water in the house; good barns and outhouses; mudlesn walks about dwellings and outhouses; a silo on every farm large enough to need it; adequ te farm machinery; modern kitchen conveniences; blooded stock and poultry; plenty of good, practi cal agricultural books and pertudl cals. The Progressive Farmer wishes week that "every " paper in the this south might take them up as ideals for Its county, too." That paper adds "And not only our newspapers, but each Individual may do something to hasten such a general program of progress." Editorial pens are much handi capped, in the task of telling why it happened In Maine, by lack of definite knowledge as to wha happened. "If the federal government can't fix intrastate rates and the States can't, who can?" asks a statesman. The ralln ads, stupid. ' paid. The program which will be dis cussed at the session of the meeting has been Sent to Superintendent Rey nolds by State Superintendent Joyner.

New Tork, "Sepfc 19 A heavy tone prevailed at the' opening of the stock market today, following the London market's lead, where international Is sues sold off sharply.
