XVI, NO 82 Simp Dogan, v Simp Dogan was convicted about nine months ago of stealing a trunk . belong ing to a guest of " the Wheeler Hotel, and sentenced to two years on the chain gao tnd to pay heavy fines amounting ia all to $500. . There is now being circulated a peti tion for his pardon, which Is being gen erally signed, but as people generally sign most any old petition presented to them without looking at it, this indi cates but little. : ' - .A In one or two instances those who have signed say that they intend tak ing their names off the petition Some people think he has been already puniihed enough. - Then again some people think that the visitors who come to this city should be fully protected in every way, and to pardon Dogan after having been con victed by a jury of 12 Henderson county men, would be an encouragement to crime. It is pointed oat that - 8imp working on the roads is a "horrible ex ample," while Simp pardoned before his term expired would have a bad moral effect on those inclined to follow hi example, M. S. Baughn, special baggage agent of the Southern Railway, who, was in town last week, believes the traveling public should be considered in this mat ter, and while his department is strongly Interested, believes the visitors who come to Hendersonville should be af forded all protection possible. He be lie res Simp Dogan should not be paiv doned, and says 'the baggage depart ment of the Southern Bail way and the traveling public, whose interests- are identical, should be afforded this protection.

The man agement has secured the famous Swiss Bell Ringers and the program will in clude music, both vocal and instrumen tal, in addition to special features. There will be added to the park attrac. tions this week a high class acrobatic act by Miss Armstrong, of the well known Armstrong family, which will furnish the major portion of the week's entertainment. Not the least inter esting and entertaining will be the illus trated etngs which will be pat on every evening. To this will be added the moving pictures and in connection with this pait of the program the manage ment announces an entire new series each evening of the week. "The program as a whole will take at least two hours, and there will be a va riety that will appeal to all who come "Besides this already excellent pro gram there will be instrumental solos, duets, quartets and select numbers by the Armstrong band of high class mu sic and popular numbers."

Cannon has received the fol lowing letter from Congress man-elect Crawford: Dear Mr. Cannon: The Secretary of Agriculture has promised about ten Good Roads Institutes in my district the latter part of September. 1 would be glad to give your county one if you think the people wonld like it. It is being done as you kaow to build up a road spirit among the people, which is essentially preliminary to the building of roads. If you all could make, it come in as one day of your Fair" it might be well, but it may be too early. See the papers and get the matter dis cussed among the people and let me know as early as possible, so that I may arrange details. We want to get a good crowd if possible. Yours truly, . i W.T.Crawford. 'In order to get the sentiment of the the people in regard to this very im portant matter, a mass meeting has been called for next Saturday, the 17th, at 12 o'clock, in the Court House. It is very desirable that everyone interested in good roads make it a point to attend. Come yourself and tell your neighbor toeomealso. I Ice Plant Sold. Chas. R. Whitaker, of Asheville, has purchased the local ice and laundry plant. Mr. J. B. Scawell, who has so many friends here, will return to his fermer home in Atlanta. - Mr. Whitaker intends to develop this promising business to its full capacity. There will be plenty of ice, the laundry will be run the year round, and there will always be an ample supply of coal on hand to supply the local demand. . . Mr. Whitaker comes here with a lon experience in this business and., with ample capital. He is manager of the Ice Delivery Co. of Asheville, and has a beautiful home at Biltmore on that pretty eminence opposite Kenilworth Inn. , : Mrs. Whitaker, who is active in secret society work, was formerly Miss Hattie Reed, and at one time attended Judson College here. -With his wife and child Mr. Whitaker expects to make Hen dersonville his home this winter and will devote most of his time to his, new enterprise here? " .. ' - Going to Farming. - . R. PFreman, well known as one, of the most successful merchants of Ilen de.son county, has bought the fine farm of W. M. Ledbetter, near Horse Shoe, and will devote his' time to farming. There are 175 acres in the farm and the consideration was $4,000 Mr. Freeman is now selling out his stock of goods in his store near the de pot, and he says he does not care what prices they bring, just so long as he can turn the goods into cash. He is almost giving them away in" some instances, and says this sale will afford the farm ers of the county and the citizens of the town a very rare opportunity to buy goods at just their own price.- The fixtures are for sale and Mr. Freeman is anxious to close out the entire stock at once. He says profit is no considera tion and that he looses money on almost every article offered, but' he does not care for that so long as he can turn it all into cash. Mr.rFreeman has a fine stock of first class goods, but at the prices given in his big ad. in this paper they wont be his long. This is a real, genuine, bar gain sale,' one of these sales which come only once in a life-time, and its the quick acting people who get the biggest bargains. ' . v room for new Fall Stock which be coming in ; ,v; which does not often occur ERY i E POSEY IHl HAIR RAISING DEVEL OPMENTS IN CHAU TAUQUA AFFAIRS A Mass of Affidavits ' Decieded Friday , Chautauqua matters are just now the main topic of discussion la town. They have begun to take a very sensational turn , as was predicted. Both sides have just begun to show their hands, and what the future will bring forth no one knows just now . Neither side is talking for publica tion and it is only a matter of surmise at the best as to just what they intend doing. Many affidavits are being pro cured and the contents ef some of them ! are believed to be of a hair-raising nature. " i There is an array of legal talent on both sides. Rector & Staton, , Charles French Toms and Moore & Rollins rep resent Dr. S'.rouse.. Judge Merrimon, H. S. Anderson and E. W. Ewbank rep resent the Auditorium Company. , On Monday last all these gentlemen, in addition to Dr. R. B. Grinnan, Bam T. Hodges, C. . Brooks and M.Schecck appeared before Judge Pritchard in Asheville, who had previously granted a temporary injunction forbidding the Auditorinm Company from ejecting St rouse from the Auditorium building. -. . i . .....--.-, - - ' TE'e bearing was set for 3 o'clock, but when the. company's affidavits had been submitted Dr. 'Strouse's counsel asked for a delay in order to answer them, so the hearing will be next Friday noon. There will be a stack of affidavits sub mitted to the court then, including one from 8. F. Wheeler, A. A. Gates, and many other well known men. It is ex pected a large delegation from Hender sonville will go over, besides those sum moned by the court. After examining the affidavits. Judge Moore, of Strouse's counsel said: "The charges in these affidavits are of so serious a nature that no one else ex cept Dr. Strouse can answer them. No man guilty of the conduct he is charged with ought to be allowed to conduct a Chautauqua in any community." The affidavits further said that the Doctor's attentions to other men's wives discounted all the moral influences of his Chautauqua. Unless the charges can be proved against Dr. Strouse, it is believed per sonal damage suits . will be entered against some of the best known men in tewn. This is evidenced by a little pas sage at arms between Judge Merrimon and Judge Moore. The former said they expeoted to prove their charges against the Doctor. Moore replied with much emphasis, "You had better." The name of an extremely attractive woman guest at one of the best known summer hotels hero has been connected freely with that of Dr. Strouse.. - There are tales of midnight seances on the broad verandas, of midnight prowlings through hotel hallways, and of sleuths hired to watch the f ah charmer. ifore than this, it is said ' that the Doctor, and the lady in questloa, with her husband, will be here to tract down these rumors personally. In the meantime, preparations are progressing on both sides for the two chautauquas. It is just possible thaj, one side or the other will, ask for an in junction forbidding the other holding any this year. This is hardly likely, however, as an extremely heavy -bond would be required, possibly as high as Will not be Here Dr. Strouse, it is said, will be here to personally refute the charges against him. It was 'rumored", he had gone to Battle Creek for his health. 1 i ' Following are copies of two lettera sent by Mr, R. C. Clarke, at one time local manager for Dr. Strouse: .' Hendersonville, N.C., Aug. 14, '07. Clarence B. Stroust.City. , Dear Sir: I hereby tender you my resignation as local advertising mana ger foitthelHendersonville Chautauqua for the season of 1907,- same to take ef fect at onee. - All chances for a conpromis of the present condition of affairs having pass ed is the sole reason, for my taking this step. " Yours, etc,, R. U. Clarke. - . Hendersonville, N.C., Aug 14. 0T. Bev. R. 3. Orinnan, President of the Hendersonville Auditorium Co. 4 Dear Sir: I hereby tender you my resignation as director in your company, the same to take effect at once. - All chances for a compromise of the present condition of affairs having pass ed is the sole reason for my taking this step. Yours, etc., R. C. Clarke. Referring to the above, Mr. Clarke said to The Hustler: ' "The original Chautauqua contro versy was' one of a purely business na ture, but haying passed beyond, that stage I have determined to sever all connection with the matter. Tha Telegrapher's Strikt. The strike of the telegraphers is caus ing considerable inconvenience locally Messages are being accepted by opera tor James subject to delay. His relay points are Ashevile, Augusta and Char lotte. In the two last towns the opera tors are out and its almost impossible to get messages to these points. The rail road operators are not allowed by their organization to accept commercial mes sages. Messrs. Sheely, Johnson, and Woods are the operators at the local de pot.. The Saluda operator declines to feceive or setid commercial business. ,k The produce men are hard hit. by the strike and are suffering loss. The vis itors and merchants generally are sadly put out. It is not known when the sit uation wjll be relieved. Contesi Friday night, August 16th, at. 11 o'clock, marks the end of the big con test at Hunter's Pharmacy. It is expected a big crowd will be present, and Hunter invites everyone who is at all interested to be present and hear Xhe . final announcement and the final decision of the judges. Doctor Hunter says the contest has, of course, been absolutely fair and square, although it Is hardly noeessary to make this statement. - It will "be a source of some satisfac tion, however, to the winner whoever she may be, to know that she has been declared the most popular young lady in Hendersonville after a clean, bard. interesting fight, and thatch e will have the best wishes of all as to having a a pleasant trip to Jamestown. It is believed the last closing hours of At. a. A -. ! 1 t . - . m ' hue uuufcesb win oe me most; interesting of all, There have been go many sur prises that really until eleven o'clock is struck no one can be positive. As has been said 'elections and women are mighty uncertain," and from the re marks heard on the street it is believed a large crowd will be at Hunter's to hear the final announcement. The friends of the leading contestants will all be there, and Hunter invites everyone who wishes to be present at the close -of the cleanest, squtrest,' most interesting voting contest ever held in Headereonville. to come in and watch the grand finale. Everyone is welcome and the more tire merrier.
