LICKED TO A STANDSTILL.
Dose The Democrats Gave The Re
publicans In The West.
News & Observer. . . ) ..
Mr. M. L. Shipman, who spent the last
three weeks of the campaign at Demo
cratic headquartersin the Tenth Con
gressional district, is much elated over
the result in that section of the state. , It
will be remembered that he was the firstLto
suggest the nomination tof Mr. Crawford
to succeed Congressman Gudger. The
result in the convention was favorable to
Mr. Crawford and he has fust been elected
by an increased maiority over the Con
gressional vote of two years ago. This,
Mr. Shipman feels, " is vindication of
his position and contentions and he is
naturally happy in feeling that, the peo
ple accepted the candidate first "proposed
by him and endorsed the man of his
choice at the polls.
"We licked 'em to a standstill," said Mr.
Shipman yesterday, when asked for a
statement concerning the fight in the
West, ''reducing the Republican majority
" in Henderson, McDowell, Maoon and
Cherokee; increased the Democratic maj
ority in Haywood and carried besides,
Transylvania, Buncombe,, Jackson, Clay,
Kutherfoid and Graham; lost slightly in
Buuo.Hiibe, Rutherford, Jackson, 8 wain,
and Transylvania on account of local diffi
cult u-s." Mr. Shiprrian says the Federal
office holders and other influences in the
district fought manfully for Profesor Britt,
but Crawford was io much for him in the
joint debates aud as a mixer. Mr. Craw
lord, he says, made a superb campaign,
which gave added strengiii to tne efforts
of ti.e congressional campugu committee
''There was a hard fight on between soli
citor Bryson, of the sixteenth district and
F. B. Benbow, Iirpuolican, wnich com
plicated matters some," saul Air. Shipmau.
"Our committee fought for Bryson as
pers-istent as it did for Urawfoid. He had
a close call, but a larger uiaj nty than
his cl e friends anticipated. Solicitor
Spainhour was re-eiecttid in the Fourteenth
by a largely increased majority."
"The result in my own county ' said
Mr. Shipman, "is highly gratifying to me.
since the boast made by Charles French
Toms in leaving our party last summer,
that the Republicans would carry Hen
derson by 600 to 800 maiority this fall.
The largest majority any Republican re
ceived was 416 and their nominee for re
gister of deeds escaped with only ninety
to the ; good. We cut the majority down
on au average of fifty to seventy-five votes
and made a gainjof thirty-four in Toms'
home precinct Henderson jcounty dem
ocrats are still in the minority, but they
are good fighters and will yet reverse the
majority against them. In fact our en
tire mountain country isi coming back
steadily to old time conditions."

Editor Hustler;
As the , election has now passed off
quietly and peaceably, and I trust to
toe satisfaction of all the voters, I think
it a- duty that we, the readers of our
paper, owe to the editor to contribute
our items from the different parts of
the county, that we may come in closer
touch with one another, and make our
paper one of the first in Western North
Carolina.

Jail Delivery.
' Wise .Williams,' Alvin Owens and
Charlie Ray, the three young burglars
charged with" breaking into Hender
sonville houses, broke out Of the local
jail, ThQrsday night, and so far but one
of them, Alvin Owens, has been re
captured. Owens was caught in Ashe
ville, Saturday, and brought back to
town rby Chief of Police Jackson on
Sunday. With them went Gus IrwinT
who had but a weeks more time to
serve. - . .-
The boy's" burned a hole thro' the
ceiliDg of the. corridor, and then tore
away the tin on the roof. With a
rope made of blankets they let them
selves clown outside the jail and made
good their escape. - , .
Mrs. Israel, wife of the keeper of the
Jail, heard a noise in the corridor, but
thinking it was her husband, paid h&
attention to it. When jailer Israel
went to lock the prisoners in the steel
care for the night, he found they had
left, without ieaving any instructions
for the forwarding of their mail. The
three boys were bound over to the May
term of court, under heavy -bonds,
which, being unable to f urnish detained
them as guests of Sheriff Rhodes.
They are young in years but old in crime
and have adopted as their guide thro'
thi3 life the "Burglard'. Hand Book," a
copy of which was found in their poss
ession when arrested at the depot a few
weeks a$ro. If they are ever recaptured
they will spend many years as guests of
the state oflicials at Raleigh, only the
fact of the houses they entered being
unoccupied saving them from the death
penalty.
Riddled Wjth Bullets."
The death of the two policemen and
three innocent negros in Asheville,
Tuesday night, was quickly avenged
by the death of the negro fiend, Will
Harris, who fell riddled with bullets,
in the woods at Fletcher, on Thursday
at noon. He was headed towards Hen
dersonville,. where the woman, IVarl
Maxwell with whom he had been liv
ing in Asheville, has a sister. It Is
said . an uncle of the woman also lives in
this city. -
Scores of . men were h unting ; the
murderer, and the 'posse who finally
killed him was headed by Capt. Jordan.
Just who fired the bullet that brought
low the desperado is not known for
sure, but Dr. Lloyd Russell is eiven the
credit for it by many of those present.
Harris fought desperately to the last,
and died . as he had lived, his han'd
against everyone, and everyone's hand
against him. Over -300 shots took
affect, his head being almost shot away
He was dragged from the woods where
be had died, to a wagon, his blood leav
ing a brilliant trail in the fresh fallen
snow, and taken to Asheville. On the
outskirts of the city the posse was met
by a great crowd, and it was with the
utmost difficulty the body was finally
gotten to the undertaking rooms, where
it was finally exposed to the view of
the thousands blocking South Main
street by standing it up in the window
of the undertaking establishment. .
The reward offered for the capture of
the negro was voted by the posse to the
relief fund for the widows of the patrolmen.
A Military Company.
It is the opinion of many of our
prominent citizens that what this town
needs is a military company, to be or
ganized amongst our young men. It is
claimed that there is no lack of ma
terial for such an organization, that
the initial cost would be small, and that
it would add much to the social life of
the town. The state would furnish the.
guns, and uniforms would cost possibly
$15 each. Balls and entertainments
could be given during the year which
would more than defray all expeas-es
Mr. J. C. Morrow, of Rigby & Morrow,
is enthusiastic over the scheme, and says
that a well drilled military com
pany, of picked men, might soma day
be of inestimable service to the com
munity. The case of the desperado
Harris, in Asheville, , lends point to
this view.!
