CHARLESTON EDITOR
IS W. N. C. BOOSTER
Has Been Coming to Mountains
For More Than Fifty
Years Straight
To Editor W. W. Ball of The Charles
ton News and Courier, should go the
prize for annual vacations In the moun
tains.
Editor (Billy) Ball has been coming
to the mountains for ills vacation each
summer for 56 years, and he hopes to i
come back for many more.
Mr. Ball, who is regarded as one of j
the fearless outspoken newspapermen
of the South, made his first trip into ,
Transylvania county in 1880, when, as j
a lad he accompanied his parents to this
section, and camped out in the Buck
Forest section. j
Since that time there has ever been I
an urge to return each summer, and he |
has always managed to get away from |
hts duties for at least a few weeks each |
year.
Editor ana Mrs. rsaii nave a
between Cedar Mountain and Caesar’s
Head, and find time to visit In Brevard
occasionally, where many of the older
settlers know the South Carolina news
paperman, and admire his prowess as
a moulder of opinion through the
South's oldest dally newspaper.
Mr. Ball says that he had no real in
tention of becoming a newspaper writer
in his early youth, and followed the
wishes of his parents in the study of
law. Returning to his native heath at
Laurens, he bought a weekly newspa
per there, thinking, as he puts it. that
lie could practice law as his vocation,
and as a sideline write a few editorials
and otherwise enjoy the game presented
by the lure of the Fourth Estate.
Hi' found, however, within two weeks
after he hail become owner of a news- |
paper, that there was no time to lie
given to the practice of law if he were •
to publish the type of newspaper that j
people wanted, and lie dropped his law |
practice entirely to take on the duties as j
editor and publisher.
Regrets? Ab-so-Iute-ly not! Editor
Ball enjoys the game lie has played til
the life of his state as editor, and he re- i
builds his strength each year for his |
arduous task by visiting in the moun
I tains.

Smeller Machine Couldn’t Smell
"Why, anybody’r know that thing
wouldn’t work!” and “Pli-h-h-oo-ot,
niusta had something in its nose!"
These and other derisive statements
were expressions heard here Tuesday
in regard to the “smelling detective ma
chine." which Luther Shipman, of Hen
derson county had displayed prominent
ly here Monday night.
The machine was brought here, all
70-odd batteries, and the other doo-dads
that go with the “highly intricate” piece
of mechanism which the Henderson
county man claims play important
parts 'in the “always gets its man”
smeller machine.
Much lias hcen hoard arm nn»™
about the mythical do-jigger which the
Henderson man has had in his posses
sion and which he lias been building
into a more and more (he claims) per
fect crime detecting and lost article
finding thinga-ma-jig.
Mr. Shipman, unsolicited, brought lus
smeller machine to Brevard Monday
night to aid local officers in their
search for the young negro man who
ran over and killed Miss Hazel Harvey
early Monday morning, and then skip
ped out.
The sheriff's office, and a number of
others had spent a fruitless day in
searching for the fleeing negro, and
bloodhounds had been brought here
from the state prison camp at Marion
to assist in the man-hunt, all to no
avail.
Late Monday evening the Henderson
county inventor and technician brought
his machine up near the scene of the
crime and set about seeking out the
negro.
First, from information obtainable,
the machine was set up down below
Brevard near the scene of the accident,
and it (the smeller machine) pointed
toward Brevard, leaving the impression
or to use the expression of the operator,
the specific instruction, that the negro
was in the Brevard vicinity or direction.
Then the machine was brought to Bre
vard where it attracted much attention,
and its operation watched by a large
and ever increasing gallery.
After being properly adjusted, or at
least fixed up to suit the notion of its
inventor and strong advocator, it point
ed back toward Pisgah Forest, and "reg
istered" to show that the negro was in
that direction. Put that was not all....
the machine read, so the operator said,
that the man was in a three-mile radius
of Brevard.
However, there seemed to be no inter
est shown by the sheriff or the police
men. as they had heard of the machine
before, and the operator went away
without the negro being found.
Tuesday afternoon the negro was
captured down near Trvon. and he told
officers that he had left the location J
of the accident ahout four o'clock Mon
day afternoon, and that he was in Hen
dersonville a little after dark, and spent
the night there.
Porno people in Brevard Kind or reel
sorry for the inventor, because his ma
chine must have been under the effect
of a bad cold.... leastwise it could not
smell just like it ought to. When it
pointed toward Brevard from down the
road, the negro had already been gone
for several hours and was probably then
lying around the outer edge of Hender
sonville. And when the smeller said
three miles from Brevard, according to
the meter reading or however It is that
the operator can tell distances, the ne
gro was very probably snoring peace
fully twenty miles down the way.
The theory has been advanced by
some here that inasmuch as the smeller
must he a very delicate piece of mech
anism. it very probably had taken cold
in the head from being carried out in
the night air In an open car. and there
fore was not up to its usual - - - good
par.
Anyway, the sheriff had a lot rather
trust In good horse sense judgment as
to what a criminal will do, than to pin
any faith in a smeller that gets its nose
stopped up when it is needed most.
