JS-COrJUfJEHTAL RAIL YllG CREW ARE HERE o?i mil si - rnn ROAD PENETRATE THE DARKNESS ! Li II -l ITll With bonds sold, enough to build road for this County. Engineers are at work now on the proposed re ate of the Transcontinen tal railroad through Henderson coun ty. A corps of young men arrived in the city yesterday and this morn Xing began work on the route select tf by the consulting engineer H. G. Bailey seme time ago who was work ing under the instructions of the offi- - cials of the Transcontinental Con struction company. " The route through this county is mainly to connect the western road with that of the Knoxville and Green sville railroad which has been in operation from Greenville to Cleve x land, S. C, and is now being con structed through to Drakes, N. C. fThe most axcessable route and one that Mr. Bailey had decided should be surveyed comes very near Hendersonville and will no doubt if the road is built, be the one select ed Oiie of the recent happenings in connection with the road is the fact . that enough bonds have been floated by the company in New York City to complete the construction i of the road. It has been rumored here sometime that the Transcontinental road would pass through Henderson county and it comes with no - little surprise "that there is actual a corps of about fifteen engineers located near the city at work on the propos ed route. Construction work on the Trans continental read is under way on the Tennessee end of the line . The surveys and right a ways are being made all through Western North Carolina. The engineers have just finished the survey of the route from Rutherfordton through the famous ' Hickory Nut Gap into Henderson ville. This road will penertrate some of the widest and most pic turesque mountain, scenery ever seen - from a railroad car - This same company several months ago bought over the belongings of the well-known Interurban railroad company, with head offices in this city. The late T. C McNeely one of the best known railroad men of his time was instrumental in getting through the amount of work which was accomplished by the Interurban company. W. A. Smith of this city- was president of the company. It is not thought that the new com pany will follow the old route select ed by the Interurban all the way as its own corps of engineers are now - in the fields and indications look as if they mean business. The constantly increasing popular ity of Hendersonville and of Hender son county as the homes of the wealthy people of the prosperous south is again evidenced in the real estate deal just closed by which Mr. William B. Wilson of Sumter, S. C. becomes the owner of a large tract of land bordering on Osceola Lake. Mr. Wilson is one of the South Carolina's captains of industry. He is reputed to be a millionaire and has very extensive interests there which embrace, lumber, cotton and railroads. Mr. Wilson has purchased block number twenty-two, comprising . fif - teen lots, on the South side of Hen dersonville most beautiful lake one of the most desirable and attractive parts of the property. He will at once tranform his prop eray into a beautiful park and has - already engaged landscape engineers for that purpose. The home he will erect will be modern and one of the most attractive in a county becom ing famous for its beautiful country residences, and wil be ready for oc cupancy by Spring. Mr. Wilson, who is a most affable and genial gentleman and who has coped "successfully rwlth the world and who has come out of that strug gle with ' a - keen appreciation of the good things of this old world, has spent the entire season at Lake View hotel. With his has been Mrs. Wil essa," a charming lady who antici fijgJates the delights which a residence .during a large part of the year amidst such suberb surroundings as her new home will furnish, her.. The deal was closed through the real estate department of the Wan teska Trust & Banking Company '., and a most fortunate deal it was in that it adds to Henderson ville's citizenship so desirable people as Mr. and Mrs. Williams B. Wilson of Sumter, S. C. . - " : The managers cf the coming Lyce um Course are sparing no expense in securing the greatest attractions Hendersonville has ever seen. WiB.ILS0N BUYS HOME HERE it looks g ood POSTMASTERS The postmasters of the State of North Carolina will hold their an nual convention in Asheville. Then, of course, they will come over to Hen dersonville on Sept. 21th. They are coming to Hendersonville for many reasons. For instance Hendersonville has as its postmaster Brownlow Jackson. Then Hender ville has some fame as THE resort of the South. Then again because Hendersonville is going to have a new $75,000 postoffice building and the postmasters want to view the site of the new structure, again .inspira tion from the photographs ''of the building and go back home wishing they had a nice new office, jtpd. But seriously, the officials of Un cle Sam to the number pf 175 who will be entertained here Sept: 21, will be welcomed m a manner which will leave no manner of ' doubt in their minds as to the ; sincerity of that wecome. city is going to show its pleasure .in a way in a way well just in the regular old Hendersonville way, of course! At The Palace. The maangement stuck toits pro mist last evening at The Palace in every particular and as a result had two full houses in one night. It was electric theater goers' nighty .. Every body who was there laughed and went away in a good humor; whether they arrived in the same or not. Tonight there will be more pictures, music, and people than before. .. Come bring the little one sand enjoy yourself-a few minutes of rare pleasure. SIMONS RANKS NEXT. Washington. D. C , September 6. Should the senate become Democratic in 1912, Senator F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina, will be chairman of the most powerful committee In the Senate, the Committee on Finale This was made certain when the news was received here today that Senator Joseph W. Bailey would not again be a candidate for the United States Sen ate. With Bailey out, Mr. Simmons is now the ranking Democrat of the committee and upon , the ground of seniority is not the only asset Sen ator Simmons has. He is considered one of the brightest, brainiest and fairest men in that august body and there is not the slightest doubt about the Senior Senator landing the job, if the Senate has a majority In 1912 and everybody believes they will. When tariff legislation is pending the chairman of the Finance Commit tee becomes the real leader of the Senate. With Simmons as chairman, no one doubts that North Carolina will get her share of appropriations and anything else that she is entitled to One thing is sure, Simmons will cer tainly get the $1,000,000 appropria tions for good roads and a number of other bills now pending will receive favorable action. "Senator Simmons is by long odds the best man for chairman of the Fi nancee Committee,' said a prominent statesman here tonight in discussing Bailey's withdrawal from the race. "I have worked with Simmons ever since he came to the Senate and have found him to be honest, fair and upright in every move undertaken . And we have found his advice in matters of great weight invaluable." H. E. C. B. To Stop Jewel Robberies New York, Sept. 13. Representa tives of eight jewelers' societies of the United States and Canada met in this city today to ; devise plans for better protection of those engaged in selling jewelry and precious stones. The jewelers have been aroused to action by the unprecedented number of assaaults and robberies reported by the trade during the past year. It Is expected a large , reward will be offered for the " capture of the mur derers of Adolph Stern, the clerk who was killed in the daylight raid on a Sixth avenue jewelry store some monthg ago. . , . College of Cities to Meet. Chicago, 111., Sept. 14. Chicago will next week open her gates to the world's college of cities and repre sentatives of the larger cities of the world will gather here to , teach the citizens of the smaller towns the art of municipal administration. The oc casion will - be the International Mu nicipal Congress and Exposition plans for which have been going forward for nearly a year.- Delegations from cities throughout the world are as sured. Among the notable speakers at the congress wil lbe Ambassador Bryce. Governor Dix of New York and Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. ARE COIUG IlillL EVIDENCE YET ! HAWKINS 1URDER JHYSTEHV i i i i Detectives, County and City Officers and Newspaper Men Seek to Unravel Deepest Mystery in County's History. With the shame-laden hours mark ing a longer and longer interval of time between the perpetration of black crime an dthe apprehension of those whose souls must needs be crinkled and seared by the guilt with in them, the developments in the Myrtle Hawkins murder mystery are NONE. With all the organized forces of so ciety striving in emulation with each other to wipe out the horrid smear upon the fair name of a civilized state, with trained criminal catchers following each clue as a bloodhound trails the faintest scent, with long experienced newspaper men sifting and weighing, searching and think ing, with a thoroughly aroused pub lic sentiment spurring all these forces on and on, there still is no additional evidence beyond that already in pos session of the authorities. The pity of it! The same of it- An outraged womanhood calls for an aw ful retribution for an awful crime but that retribution has not yet fallen. Justice and humanity sends a cry from all over this state for vengance upon the ruthless murderers of a child but these murderers are still enjoying a fancied security! The very mountain peaks which reach their gleaming crests high to wards the quiet sky seem quietly brooding and pondering over the most atrocious crime in the criminal annals of the old North State, but that crime is still unavenged! The stars which witnessed the carrying of the little body from from where?- to its first resting place, the pale moon which witnessed the carrying of that awful burden in the night to the softly lapping waters of Lake Osceola are less bright and the angry clouds which have sent torren tial rains to the earth since that fatal Thursday night would seek to wash the guilt from a patient old mother Earth. . With no arrests no evidence, YET, to convict, one or more people have a store house of guilty knowledge within them which must drive all sleep from weary eyes, which must be more and more difficult to bear in silence,, and which must eventually drive them to confession! Solicitor A. Hall Johnston arrived here from Marion last night and im mediately became active in the Myr tle Hawkins murder mystery. After several conferences with Coroner William Reddin Kirk, who will hold a second inquest tomorrow, and with Sheriff Blackwell. the direc tion of the efforts of those engaged in tracing N the crime was left with Mr. Johnston. The authorities are thoroughly awake to the importance of the case, which is attracting attention all over the United States. Mr. Johnston will be at the second o witnesses will be summoned to ap of witnesses wil lbe summoned to ap pear before that jury. Mrs. George Wieders, of Charleston a daughter of Mrs. E. Sindorf, propri etress of The Charleston, left for her home today after having spent several weeks here with her. mother. Goodbye! Cheap Show, Goodbye- The cheap vaudeville and medicine show must go and in many instances has gone. They used to stop always at Howard Lake, Minn., but the lyce um course there has now put them out of business. The same story comes from Posey ville, Ind!; Bentonville, Ark.; Logan, la., and a thousand other towns. Ask the manager of any of those cheap street carnivals or medicine adver tisers, and he will tell you of towns where there is "nothing doing"' in his line. These are the lively lyceum towns. The secret of it is that the lyceum is furnishing good, wholesome, up lifting, popular entertainment, and raising the taste of communities in regard to fun. To want entertain ment, to crave something to do and some place to go, is natural, especially among young people. : One minister in Colorado found that he couldn't get hold of his people because in the be-tween-Sunday intervals, the saloons, gambling halls and cheap shows counteracted "all his teachings in the church. So he started a lyceum course. He made a specialty of the entertainment feauture. and after a while he got hold of his flock. What he said to them on Sunday stayed with them during the rest of the week; it fitted with the rest of the things they did. The president of the miners' union, who owned the opera house, said to the minister at the close of the course: "Well, you've done me a lot of damage, financially. We can't run a cheap show any more, and that's what we made our money on. The peojle won't stand for it. But you've done a mighty good thing for my family, and so I won't kick." Recall Death of XcKinley. Canton, O., Sept. 14. The tenth an niversary of the death of the late President William McKinley was ob served with simple memorial exer-. cises here today. This afternoon a ' number of magnificent floral pieces were taken to the mausoleum. Among I the sendes wee Justice Day of the United States supreme court, George B. Cortelyca of New York and sever al others who were intimately asso ciated with the martyred president. Honor Aged Salvation Army Leader. London, Sept. 14 "General" Wil liam Booth was the central figure at a great public reception given in I on- don today to mark, the termination of his evangelistic tour of the United Kingdom. The tour was made in a motor car, and occupied twenty-six days. Notwithstanding his eighty two years the venerable founder and head of the Salvation Army is looking forward with eager interest to his coming visit to America. The lyceum deleops good taste and appreciation. Towns : with lyceum courqpt learn to enjoy good pictures, -orf "usic, fine architecture and high Ihinking. Captain Hobson just finished, a whirlwind platform campaign in be half of the Maine prohibitionists. EXTRA T A There will be quite a large number of pleasure seekers to go over to Asheville next Monday night on the Carolina Special and return on the extra train which has been chartered Hendersonville people. The attrac tion in that city that night will be "Polly of the Circus." This opera has the reputation of being one of the best o nthe road and will no doubt re ceive a packed house including many Hendersonville people. It is not often the people of this city including the hundreds of visitors get to see one of the greatest shows on the road and stay at home the same night. The local gentlemen interested in the special train have arranged with the Southern Railway Company to have a train leave AEheville after the show and return to this city. Those who desire purchasing return trans portation are urged to let the parties know in time at the ticket window at the Southern depot. Mr. W. A. Smith has deeded Lau rel Park and all its attractiveness to the mail men for this one day. Of course, again, everything will be free. And the refreshments to be served them at the park will be such as will be long remembered by them. W. A. Smith will make the address of welcome on behalf of the Merchant Association. W. C.

The robbors se cured $1,500 in money, locked the of ficers of the bank in the vault and escaped. The robbery ig attributed to Hugh Whitney, the Idaho bandit, and his brother. ' It is claimed, that the Whitneys have been seen near Coke ville lately, and they were charged with the thelft of a band of horses a few days ago. A holdup of so.ne character has been more than half expected, and the banks have kept most of their funds under time locks. Spanish-American War Veteran Dead Norfolk, Va., Sept. 13Colonel Geo. W.
