THE SENTIMENT GROWING."
The movement : for the development
of 'Western North Carolina is taking a
firm hold upon the people and gratify
ing results are anticipated from the
Sprafcf onS of tne co-operative assocla- j
HXao. recently organized. KIt is encour
aging to note that Asheville, Brevard,
-Hendersonviile, Waynesville and oth
- er resort towns of this land of wonder
ful possibilities Save come to realize
that each must hay' the co-operation
of the. others to obtain desired results
to which all are entitled by honest en
deavor. The meeting in Asheville on
Tuesday of last week was the second
of & series that will be held from time
to time until the Greater Western
North Carolina Association becomes a
potent factor in the development jot
this section in its entirety. The plan
of organization adopted forms a basis
upon which this organization may pro
ceed with the laudible work for. which
it was formed, theexploitation of the
attractions and advantages of Western
North Carolina ' along all lines of in
dustrial "endeavor.
The purpose of those who are en
gaged in perfecting the plans is the
establishment of . a central organiza
tion for the dissemination of informa
tion relating to the "Land of the Sky'
in a general way the cost of mainten
ance to be shared proportionately by
each community, or 'interest, concern
ed.. Such a unity of purpose never
fails to bring results and matters pe
culiar to each town and county of
Western Carolina will be exploited to
the best possible advantage and at
nominal expense. All copies of . in
quines received at tne central, or
general office will be transmitted to
the industrial organizations of each
. town constituting the greater associa
tion and' in this way the efforts of all
, will be combined in impressing stran
ers(with the multitudinous advantages
this section offers to those in search of
health, wealth or pleasure. And when

na, in response to one inquiry sent out,
he is very apt to set up and take no

make a tour of inspection before lo
cating elsewhere? Is it not probable
that the community spirit, thus made
manifest, would win favor both at
home and abroad? Does it not appear
that the experiments 'is worth while?
"In Union there is strength" and
"united we stand, divided we fall."
We are gratified to observe the en
thusiasm with which the proposed plan
of co-operation has been received by
tre wide-awake citizens of Henderson-ville.-
Always progressive and ever on
the alert when questions of industrial
development are, being- considered,

, a-stand for Greiter Western North

STILL THE HAWKINS TB AGED Y.
ent want of diligence at that time has
gone abroad the impression that the
officials, and people, generally, of Hen
dersonviile are suppressing known
facts connected with - this fearful
crime. Newspapers all over the coun
try have ventured the opinion that
enough evidence was brought out in
the coroner's investigations to have
warranted the arrest of - several per
sons implicated at those hearings.
The local authorities seemed "not to
agree with such a conclusion and, the
matter came to an abrupt ending right
there, much to the chagrin and disap-
oointment of every man, woman and
child In .Hendersonviile," excepting of
course, the few individuals who as
sisted the unfortunate victim to a
premature grave? No reward has been
withdrawn, the people of this city: are
suppressing nothing, nor is there any
disposition upon their part to let that
terrible crime go unavenged. Tit 1b
just one of those mysterious cases
which seems to, have baffled every
body. But the outside public does not
understand and the newspapers con
tinue their unfavorable comments.
The latest is from the High Point En
terprise which says: - ' A
" While, many of our own papers
ha ye shown a desire to rush into crit
oism of . first, Henry Beattie and later
Rev. Richeson for the alleged brutal
murder of two helpless women, they
have had but little to say of late on
a similar brutal tragedy occurring in
Hendersonviile: Indeed North, Caroli
na has had a tragedy of equal brutali
ty in which a young woman was the
victim-ahd to the shame and dls
grace of the State because the mur?
derer so far has gone scot free. The
abrupt and sudden termination of the
investigation has surprised the people.
Unlike the .Beattie case, this crime
does not appear to have been a coldly
premeditated assassination,, but rather
the taking of a human life in the
course of a criminal act. In this re
spect the crime resembles that . with
which Clarence Richeson, the Brook
line Baptist preacher, is charged; a
case wherein a graver Crime was com
mitted in an attemptto cover up a les
ser one. A weak, erring woman is the
victim; a weak, erring man is the slay
er, in law tne crime is roui murder
none the less than if the slayer had
lain in wait and shot the girl from anj-
bush. Let the Northr Carolina papers
get down on the case within their own
state and tell the people what the
final report of the detectives disclosed."
We would kindly remind the Enter
prise that the newspapers have al
ready had their say in tfafe matter of
the Hendersonviile tragedy to which it
refers. The detectives have made no
report and there is nothing further to
be given out at this time. Marvelous
condition it may seem but the doing to
death of Misss Myrtle Hawkins is-as
much a mystery today as when the
news of hef untimely taking away was
flashed over the wires six weeks ago.
The newspapers have featured every
apparent clue that has been suggested
ana iurtner comments are. unneces
sary. Time proves all things and this
dastardly murder will yet be avenged.

meeting" in Asheville last week by

pression upon the other delegates

has long since quit the practice of go
ing about things in a half -handed way,
having reached the conclusion that
anything worth while should be done
right. "She will give . the boosters a

This get-together spirit in Western
North Carolina is commendable.. If
carried to a logical -conclusion the
proposition means a Greater Western
North Carolina "indeed and in truth."
Co-operation spells success. Get on
the band-wagon.
Mr. Craig seems to be the unanim
ous choice of the democratic press of

sented and many of them have spoken.

Brevard evidently means business,
too, in this movement for a Greater
Western North Carolina, her wide
awake citizens having indicated a. will
ingness to "put up," one thousand dol

to their size. That looks like busi

To see Dr. Tamei Kin, China's
woman doctor, and. better still, to
hear her speak-in perfect English of
her hopes for the further progress of
Chinese women. Is to answer the ques
tion in the affirmative. DrI Yamai Kin
stands; for the well-balanced oriental
woman, familiar with the science,
learnlngand methods of the wast, but
losing none of her own nationality. .
She is typically Chinese lnppear-
afice. There are the pale complexion,
the dark hair, the. small dark eyes,
twinkling with fun. Small In stature,
but alert and active in body and mind.
Dr. Kin' wisely retains her Chinese
dress1.- ' - : "
. It is more than twenty years since
Dr. Yamei Kin took her degree at the
Women'3 Medical college. New York,
now merged into Cornell university.
The years spent in the west have
taught her much besides a wonderful
command of the English language and
a knowledge of medicine and surgery.
.She does not approve of all she has
heard and seen, but sheT recognizes
that modern science is . the greatest
.gift of the west to the' east today.' In

calls forth hef' splendid abilities.. A
start has -been 'made at Tientsin. A
hospital, dispensary and medical school
are in existence. How they came in
to being Is characteristically Chinese.
Land, on which were some very an
cients buildings,: was allotted tQ Dr.
Kin for her new organization,, with ai
assured "revenue. That was the gov
ernment's part: she was to do all tbb
rest. 'You must make your-own
plans and carry your scheme to suc

This meant that she had to be her

adapting others 'to her purpose.
The transformation was worked.
The architect and engineer are now
sunk in the doctor and director. Dr.
Kin's aim is to make sure progress and
lift the people step 'by stepto better
sanitation and hygiene. In her estab
lishment she maintains Chinese cus
toms so far as possible and introduces
only such western methods of, sanita
tion as are Indispensable. - Her stu
dents enter for a two or three years'
course: their method of life Is Chinese,
