THURSDAY; AUGUST 28 19li OLD SERIESVOL, 19 CHARLOTTE TJIQB IlICHESIGRO Te &n Shot Policeman "Wilson Frcffi Cot in Hospital 2nd Filled 50 ess Full of Bullets. Ctarlctte, Aug. 26. A mob of about ttirty-Sve men broke through the doors of the Good Samaritan hospital this morning at 2:15 o'clock, dragged from tis cot Joe McNeely, the wound ed ziegro who shot Policeman L. L. Wilson last Friday, threw him out into the street and fired seven bullets into bis body and fled without making sure of tseir victim. However, McN ely did from the wounds at 5 o'clock. Officers Overpowered. . Two officers, Everett Earnhardt and Tarliom, were on guard, but testify that they were overpowered by Tthe nob. They state that they heard the crowd demand entrance and burst through the door, but their revolvers! vere taken from their hands before they could defend their prisoner. Judge shaw: in telling the grand jury to in vestigate the case, seems to think that a determined resistance by one man would have been sufficient to have foil ed the mob. He said that what the county needed was a sheriff like that oi Spartanburg, and said that a pistol in the hands of two men not diligent as to their duty, were as harmless as a toy pistol in the hands of a child. The stairs are rather narrow and wfnding, and it is thought by many that had the mob met cocked pistols at the head of the staircase they woud have left without the -negro. :'i if.

The report was volum inous and full and was listened to vith the greatest attention. At the conclusion of the' reading of the re port there was a spirited discussion of the matter by several of the members. Mr. Wetmur, chairman of the commit, tee stated that it was the unanani ovi s opinion of the members of the committee that an agreemnt had been entered into by the parties . to the controversy for a division of the appropriation of $1,000 made by the commissioners.

Smith suggested a , vote of thanks to Mr. yeyer &t his services to the club which was heartily concur, red in by all present " Following is the report of the com mittee on the money controversy mat- ter: ' " . "Your committee appointed to in- memoers or the hospital Association f and the Greater iter Western North Caro- lina Association regarding the $1000 given to the Hospital Association finds as follows: , "Upon interviewing Mr. Smith of the Greater Western North Carolina Asso ciation, Mr. Smith make sthe following statement: August 7, 191S. To the Committee to whom was re ferred the question as to the rights Involved, growing out of the contri bution of Henderson county to the Hospital Association. "At the time when the order was made by the cqunty to contribute $1,000 to the Hospital Tssociation, (See Order), P. F. Patton, R. H, Sta ton and myself had learned thrpugh H. M. Roberts, Chairman of Committee to solicit funds for the Greater Wes tern North Carolina Association, at Fletchers' that Curtis Bynum, as trus tee of certain moneys was advised that he could list his trust funds either in Mecklenburg or in Hendersonville. That these funds, if listed In Hender sonville would produce an annual tax to the jcounty of $1,000 or more, and he, Mr. Roberts asked if we could not get the county to contribute $1,000 to the Greater Western North Carolina Association, if we; would discover a fund that would ' produce an annual tax, etc. ' "Mr. Patton, Mr. Staton and myself, with ; this proposition, went to the court house, when we got- there we were called, upon by a Committee of the Hospital Association, among them Mrs. Whitaker, Dr. Drafts and Dr. Williams to help them get a con tribution for the Hospital. With this reuest they made a statement tl at they wanted to ask the board for $200.00. We held one or more conferences and Mr. Staton and myself presented the claims for the Greater Western North Carolina Association and spoke in favor of the Hospital Association. We were informed by 'the Board that they were advised that they could not, un der the law, contribute directly to the Hospitaf AssocFatlon. This was fol lowed "by a conference of. , the two committees In the Register's office. We" all agreed that we would make an aUack on the Board and if we got the fimd.-then 'we could divide, ..The Hos pital seeing an ' opportunity to get r.Aft nn instead T)f $200.00 readily agreed td. divide what we could-get for them. Some' writings was uuuc the matter was taken back to the board and after . taking advice and some deliberation, the board made the order now of record. After this some questtion was raised by the trustees of the Hospital Asso ciation, ... several meetings and much talk followed and finally Dr. Williams secretary of the hospital association brought me a copy of the order made bv the trustees, which I , turned over to Mr. Patton. - -' Much has been said about what' Mr. Bane chairman "of the commissioners ?aid to different parties. Mr. Bane has said to me invariably, and repeated to i.ie yesterday that he was interested m the Hospital Association, and also In, the Greater Western North Caroli na Association, and that he wanted to act squarely within the law, as a member of the boardv'signed the order put on record and that he has said re peatedly and says now that if the Hos pital compyl with the condition in the order.it does not matter with hi ru whether or not the Hospital Associa- i tion keeps the , money, or puts it in other channels. That he has at all times understood that the Greater Western North Carolina Association vas interested in getting this money and expected to get a part of it, and that personally, he does not wish to dc anything or say anything" that would interfere with the parties carryr ing out their agreement in good faith," "On Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock. Mr. F. S. Wetmur and Mr. F. A. Ew bank (Mr. Jackson not being present for your committee met with Mr. Brooks and Mrs. Whitaker and Mrs. Wilson and had a lengthy argument. The concensus of opinion - of these three members of the Hospital Associ. fation was to the effect that, they never tieke for ?20O.0O from ; the county xmmissioners, ; but that the original request was for.r$500.00. They; stated that Mr. Bane, chairman of the "board of commissioners, had stated emphatl- cauy to tnem mat tne commissioners J had no intention of any part 'of this fund going to the Gieater Western North Carolina Association, and had they known of such " an agreement would not have passed an order .for the appropriation. Mr. C. E. Brooks stated that he had a talk with Mr. Bane in regard to the matter, after hearing quite a bit. cf talk on the streets in regard to the controversy, (he was not, at the origi nal , meeting and therefore did not 'know what the two committees had agreed upon) and that Mr. Bane bad advised him to read the order, and tnat the Greater Western North Caro- llna Association was to have half of this appropriation, he would have the same revoked. Mrs. Whitaker and Mrs. Wilson further stated that they had, no know ledge of any agreement to divide this appropriation, if same was I received, with the Greater Western North Caro lina, and that they knew nothing of mixing the two claims, but that they were under the impression that the Hospital Tssociation was to receive the the total $1000.00. Mrs. Wilson . further stated that if they had depended on any effort made by the members of the Greater W. N. C. A. to secure this appropriation, said appropriation would never have leen made, as they were never able to set any co-operation from the G. W. N. C. A. Mrs. Wilson also stated that she had made investigation, and as far as she could " find out that the discovery of additional taxes claimed by the G. W. N. C. A. had never been turned in. Mr. Brooks stated that this was a mistake as he had knowledge that they had. In a subsequent talk with Mr. Brooks he stated to our chairman that the matter was placed in a somewhat different light since having the con ference and that very .probably Mr. Bane in making the statement to aim in regard to the matter meant that if the ORDER STATED that half of his fund was to go to the G. W. N. R, he probably meant that while it wes not his intention to embody this in the order, yet he understood that the divi sion would be made between these two committees between themselves. Mrs. Whitaker and Mrs. Wilson stated that in thr opinion, it should bo left entirely to the Board of coun ty commissioners to state just what was their intention in the matter, and that they would be willing to abide by their decision. Mrs. Wilson then, re peated as well as she 'could remem ber a certain resolution made by the Hospital Association in Dr. Kirk's office, which resolution stated that if the county commissioners expected this money to be divided, and if same could be dpne Iegany, they wouiu be willing that the money should be de cided between the two Associations. On Wednesday the chairman. of your committee" had a conference with Dr. "Drafts of -the Hospital Tssociation, .in which Dr. Drafts . stated that it. was his impression that, (while the matter of a definite sum was not clear in I FHiisoraoti YESTERDAY Li.ndred Gather at Laurel Park Yesterday to Make Memorable De monstration of Two Neighbor States.

Waldo Warland Stevens, of Washing- ton, D. C., is here and will soon make a tramp to the top of Mt. Mitchell.

Jack Johnson's music hal lengagements in London were "postponed" today on account of the intense resentment displayed on all sides. ' . It is understoo dhtat the postpone ment will be made permanent later, as the licensing authorities have threatened to make more trouble if the engagement of the negro pugilist is not cancelled. Johnson says that he is goin to give the public music' halls where he is billed a two-days' test to find out if the public want him to show. If they do he wil fill his engagements. his mind) whatever appropriation was secured from the county commission ers of Henderson county would be di--vided with the G. W. N.. C. A. and if tb. matter came to a . vote, he would certainly have to cast his vote in favor of dividing this fund. He thought that It was" very unfortunate 1 that this controversy should have : itd the many compliments paid them arisen, and that it was bound to cause by visitors for promptness and at a great deal of friction, and he thought tentiveness. A letting up in the vol that the county commissioners should j ume of business at the "postoffice has cot avoid the issue but should define ; become noticeable during the last few how this fund should be used. And, as above stated, if the? matter was left to a vote, he would have to vote for a division of the fund. His opinion was, however, that this matter should be definitely decided by the commission ers who made the , order, and who should have clearly stated- Just how they expected this fund to be used. Mr. Bane says' ne knew nothing if any agreement between The Greater Hendersonville Club and The Hospital Association, but when the Hospital Association 'complies with the order issued by the county commissioners that he has nothing further to say in regard to any action that may be done by the Hospital association." v i 6f band was in attendance and furnished splendid .music at the Casino where Ihe celebration was held.

Alto gether no occasion of the season has teen more genuinely pleasant than was the celebration of Florida-South Carolina Day and it is safe to predict that future celebrations under the auspices of the same associations will become events of wide spread, inter est.

" This has been the busiest season in the history of the Hendersonville post office and the amount of. mail, letter, newspaper and package which has been handled by Postmaster Jackson ynd.his assistants is truly enormous. The city, delivery has assisted some in lessening the great rush In the postof ftee proper, but the: increase in the olume of business has been so great that the force hasbeen almost swamp ed at times. Notwithstanding the fact that the force has been inadequate to take care of the rush, the mails have been handled remarkably well and the number of , "kicks" is smaller than might hive been expected. Of course all of the members of the force have been overworked but they have stood by their posts faithfully and have mer. days and the clerks are looking for- vard longingly to the time when there will be an interval when they may take a rest, , ; - Annual Complimentary Hop Brilliant Social Affair. The fifth annual hop given by the L.vurel Park Estate complimentary to the visitors of Highland Lake, Kanuga Ciub and Hendersonville last evening at the park was a splendid success and was enjoyed by one of the largest crowds ever attended, a social event at that popular resort.
