Editor of The Gaxette-Newa:
Will you kindly make correction of
an article In your paper of February
14 in regard to a statement that I had
secured a divorce from Mr. Georse
Smith? . -
I have never tried to obtain a di
vorce, and the statement is absolutely
false.
Returning to the city recently after
an absence of a number of weeks
learned that the above statement and
later a notice of Mr. Smith's marriage
had appeared during my absence, and
only today for the first time I read the
notices in your paper for myself.
I have not been officially notified or
am I aware that a divorce has been
granted. If such a proceeding has oc-

FOR RELIEF OF FLOOD SUF
FERERS. The Gazette-News will receive and
acknowledge contributions for the re
lief of destitution and suffering In the
middle west resulting from the floods.
The need Is great, and it will be neces
sary for the people throughout the
country generally to assist, if the con
tributions are to reach a sum In any
degree commensurate with the neces
sities of the people who have been de
prived of homes and who are without
food. All money that may be received
for this relief work will be transmitted
to the Red Cross. The Gazette-News
subscribes $5.
A LIGHT FROM THE WEST.
An effulgence appears on the hori
zon, coming from the general direc
tion of Springfield, 111. "In hoc signo
vlnclt," cries Tariff Reform. Stnnd
patism, prone, even if, as Mr. Cannon
avers, not yet counted out, stirs and
groans.
It is indeed the dawn this aureole
of Jim Ham Lewis' flame.whMcered
countenance; the oritiame of victorious
Democracy. The Democrats needed
one more senator, a tariff reformer
staunch, tried, proven. It Is plumb tn
line with the eternal fitness of things
that James Hamilton should be th:it
senator; he whom nature has glorified
with the hue of victory.
failure to resist Mr. Smith's latest at
tempt to secure a divorce from me
was due partly to my willingness to
protect all parties concerned, legally
If possible, and because I had grown
tired of a long, palnfui. struggle.
Mr. Smith has no grounds for di
vorce unless the present separation,
which I resorted to as a means of pro
tection, could be considered so. If
such a divorce could be secured legal
ly, on such grounds, I was partly will
ing rather than continue resistance.
I will be grateful to the Ashevllle
papers If they will advise with me be
fore printing news regarding my pri
vate life, and I will then tell them
the truth about the matter, and I be
lieve they will appreciate the privilege
and desire to print only the truth.

Direct Evidence
For several months we have been telling you what
Hood's Sarsaparilla is made of and the ailments it has been
b.uring for more than a third of a century. , Below we give
a letter telling particulars of one of the many cures it has '
Effected, and we leave it for you to say how many and how
strong adjectives we might truthfully use in introducing a
letter of this character. C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass."
"20$ Upper Front St,
"Exeter. N. H., May 27, 1912.
"Gentlemen: It -is with the sincere
purpose of benefiting others I write
what Hood's Sarsaparilla did for me.
"On getting up one morning I found
what seemed to be a mosquito bite
on the calf of my right leg. Soon the
"eruption grew larger and continued
day after day, becoming more and
more troublesome. The physician ad
vised poulticing, and I soon found I
had a running sure. It ate steadily
Into the flesh, discharged freely, and
grew worse. Another physician told
me to use a rubber bandage, but the
sore grew worse until
There Wat Not a Spot of Healthy
Skin as Large as a 10ct. Piece
Between My Knee and Ankle.
My leg was now a dreadful sight.
There were places lsrge and deep
enough to hold an egg. I was told
the leg must be amputated. The
specialist said he had seen many bad
sores, hut none equal to mine,
"One day a neighbor, Mrs. Backley.
spoke of the value of Hood's Sarsapa
rllla for scrofula, and I said 'I don't
think such a simple thing as Hood's
Sarsaparilla would do me any good.'
But my husband Joined !n urging me
totry Hood's, and as he bought a
bottle, I thought I might as well take
It. Before I finished that first bottle,
I suffered less pain and could see the
edges of the sore beginning to heal.
As I kept on with the medicine, new
flesh formed, the raw surface dimin
ished, and after using ten bottles the
Sore Was Completely Heeled and My
General Health Perfect.
I am able to work every day, weigh 175
pounds, my leg never gives me any
trouble, and I use It the same as the
other. I believe It my duty to tell what
Hood's Sarsaparilla did for me, and 1
praise It to all my friends." Mra

Appreciates Publication of Dr. Camp
bell's Sermon.
Editor of The Gazette-News:
One of your shut-in readers thanks
you for the publication of Dr. Camp
bell's sermon in Monday's paper, and
wishes it might bo the fore-runner of
others of the same kind. Since we
cannot get out to hear It would be re
freshing to know what is being said
on a subject that concerns every one
though they do not acknowledge it.
Our pastors, judging by the sermon
of yesterday, are equal to any in the
state, and able to give us profitable
Ideas concerning the life to come.
That we need to think on this Impor
tant subject is evident from the al
most daily notice of the unexpected
death of neighbors or people we have
known. C.
Asheville, March 25, '13.
FLAMES STILL RAGE:
LIFE LOSS
At this writing conclusive news has
not been received as to the fate of
the plant of the Champion Coated
Paper company at Hamilton, O. the
second largest factory of its kind in
the world, built at a cost of more
than $5,000,000. If, as was stated In
an unconfirmed report yesterday, the
mills have been burned, the logical
course, it would appear, would
be to rebuild them near Ashe
vllle, this section being a princi
pal source of their material supply,
and the Canton factory of the same
people their feeder. At the very least
the Board of Trade should see to it
that no opportunity is overlooked, in
this connection.
The movement for forest conserva
tion in the Appalachians was born in
Ashevllle, and the pioneer work of
forest care in America, it may be said,
was done on the Biltmore estate by
Mr. Vanderbilt. His care of the wa
tersheds of the Plsgah region has left
nothing to be desired, from the point
of view of general public policy; but
owing to the essential mutability of
private ownership. It is well that this
property is to be transferred to the
government. The establishment here
of a great public reserve, located In a
region of unrivaled scenic grandeur,
virgin forest and deep coves where
the forest giants have never been
touched by the hand of man, will be
of immense benefit to the A-hevllle
section.
'Time to put an end to vulgar or
gies," says the mayor of New York
Been time some time, Mr. Mayor;
but can It be done? The notion prev
alent In the provinces is that that Is
mostly what New Tork is a vulgar
orgy.
, Mr, Taft's Idea of a permanent fed
eral fund for improvement and main
tenance of Mississippi levees I sound
as a dollar; a fact which present
events are emphasising.
President Wilson "expects to be
able to spend his summer vacation In
Ashevllle." A pleasant- expectation
to hold.
