Oct.- 6.-Francis Burton Harrison, of New York, newly ap pointed governor general of the Phil ippines, arrived here today. He was greeted by several thousand "people many of Y.honi had come from the provinces. ' The Manchuria,1 tfearlng Mr. Harri son, was met by a flotilla of steam launches, one of which took out New- ion W. Gilbert, of Fort Wayne, Ind., the vice governor. Governor General Ktrrison, on landing, drove, from the jier by a roundabout route to the Luneta, where he delivered . his- inau gural address. The address embodied instructions received from President Wilson through 'Secretary. Garrison stating broadly the administration's policy toward the Philippines. -The instructions declared that every step would be taken with a view, tothe ultimate independence; that the first step, to be taken at once, will be to give native citizens the majority In the appointive commission and thus in loth branches of the Philippine legis lature. --" DIXOX PLAT C03IIXG. His Dramatization of The Leopard's Spos to be' SeenHere, -x An announcement has just been re ceived that Thomas Dixon's dramatiza tion ''of his novel "The Leopard's Spots," will be seen here at the Aidi torium, Saturday Nov. 1st '' ' The Leopard's Spots" in book form was Mr. Dixon's first big success, not even being equalled by his sensational story "The Clansman," which he wrote just afterwards. 'Although "The Leop ard's Spots" preceded "The Clansman," the latter play was the first to reach the stage, while the former was not rpmntizprt hv the author until this summer. The-reason for this unusual chronological order is because "The Clansman" dealt essentially 'with the negro problem immediately following the war while "The Leopard's Spots' covers the period of all the years-following the war to the 4 present time, and so it presents the modern. negro situation. Consequently Mr. ; Dixon has saved tme material for a play T7hich he always" knew, existed in "The Uopard's Spots" with the r result that he is now able to offer a gripping drama which differs in plot and gener al treatment from his plays "The Clansman" and "The Sins of the Fath er." and which jannot fail to demand the interest and support of every Southern man and woman. ' The Leopard's Spots .has been pro duced under the' sole direction and management of the author himself 1I0W THE BETS STAKD ON WORLD'S SERIES. 2JN- " . . ' . ' New York, Oct. 4.

New York, Oct 7. Outhitting and ou tfielding the New York Giants in the opening game of the world's series, the Philadelphia Athletics defeated , the National League representatives at the Polo grounds this afternoon by a score of 6 to 4. So complete Vas the supremacy of the American League champions in the initial ton test that the victory appeared to be but a continuation -of the series of 1911 fwhen the Athletics won me title or tl at year from the Giants by four gpmes out of six. As if to heighten i he illustration there were several' feature plays that might have been reproduced, so closely did they resem ble those of 24 months ago. The game was witnessed by a gath erine of SDeCtators that taxed the' ca pacity of the New York club stadium t and swelled the coffers of those Jn- ! terested to the extent of more' than who paid admission. to the stands was 36291 an dthe day's receipts amount ed to $75,255. These figures, as fur nished, by' the national commission, occasioned surprise, for the attendance fell short by more than 2,000 of that of the first game of 1911, although so fas as could be seen there appeared to be just as many persons present as was the case two years ago. : , CARRY CROWDER OPENS STORE.

A few of the matters in which the club has been 'interested appears be low: ; ; . The work of building up a city means the expansion of every individ ual Interest and is not merely s matter of civjc pride or public spirit, but is a practical business proposition that should appeal to every business man in the community. As the city develops, business possibilities I urease I and property values expand. Hendersonville today is a cityof 'substantial realities, its foundations laid on broad and solid lines. The rapid development of the' past few jears, phenominal as it may seemf Is the practical growth of intensely pro gressive citizenship and yet there is much which can be accomplished and it is the plain duty of Hendersonville business men to take part in this work of development by belonging to this organization, f The Club now -employs a paid sec retary who devotes all his time and TortS'to the interests jof the clttorHi office is" in the City Hall, where he may be found at any ' time from 8:30 to 10:30 in the morning. The. Board of Governors has authorized the publica. tion of a complete financial statement J of the Club's affairs showing In detail the receipts and expenditures. An ex I ert bookkeeper is now busy on this statement' and as soon as it is ready it will be. published in both the city papers. A financial statement will be published regularly hereafter, every 1 quarter The majority of Henderson -I ville's business and professional men J are already members of the club. An earnest endeavor will be made to have ALL the business men of the city and county enrolled as members and as members" in good standing. . ; With the sinews of war thus provided, with the united effort of ALL the business interests, a very great .deal may be pecured; the season may be lengthen ed, and lengthened at both ends; a vast amount of sadly needed adver tising may be secured at a minimum of expense; new and desirable settlers may be induced to come here, - includ ing farmers who will aid in stopping the haif million dollar leak; new in-, dustrles may eventually be Induced, to come and the co-operation and good Wjill.of the people may be extended to thf industries already established here, the cause of good roads may be aided and the interests of the farmers and merchants studied and conserved. There4s no limit to the good a com- pact, harmonious organization may ac complish for the city and definite steps Lave already been taken along this path. With unity of purpose and 'con centrated efforts, Hendersonville will become a great city. Without it that possibility is emote. For God has don,6 al Ithat is possible fo rHim to do for any city. It remains now only for man to do his part. A few of the matters in which the Greater Hendersonville Club has" been Interested since its organization are given below. " There are many others,, it Js needless to refer to. The agricultural expert which means better farming and increased crops in Henderson county an,d event ually the stopping of the half-million dollar leak which Is now draining the life blood of the community. The North Carolina Dental Association, which mpets here next year. The North Car olina, Pharmaceutical Convention, which also meets here hext year. Both of .these conventions will help to lengthen the season something every one here Is vitally interested In. The State Woman's Baptist Missionary Union, which meets here during March. 1914, was secured by' the First Baptist church. The Club co-oDerated to the fullest extent of its ability. The Club failed to secure the NortV Ca rollna Firewriters Association ah(T the State Nurse's Association Conven-' t.Tv for 1 914. but. the effective wort done by the Club's representatives at that time will undoubtedly bring noth these conventions here in 191 i The hand concerts which, contribute son 0 'much to the entertainment of the I - club stand -for good roads first, last j all the time. Its organization wa-f; wamzmton Efforts Na me for Local. Interests. most effectively used in tie recent campaign and as a direct result Hen derson county will shortly have many miles of' hard surfaced roads. Hen dersonville and Henderson county will never begin to realize its possibilities as a rseort until it has a net. work of fcood roads. The advantages to the farmer of hard surfaced highways are too self-evident to be enumerated. The St. Petersburg .Colony This, it' is said by competent' judges, eventual ly means the expenditure of a million dollars here and it certainly means the widespread advertisement of Hender sonville in a State where this resort Is already Well known. The" club co operated fully in securing this colony for this county in competition, with all of Western North Carolina. It suita bly entertained . the , two committees sent here, it sent a representative to St. Petersburg and secured the heart iest co-operation and team work of ALL Hendersonville real estate men in the successful efforts made to bring the Colony here. - r ... 2 ..!

Surrounded by leaders of a united democracy, Presi dent Wilson', at 9:09 o'clock tonight signed the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill at the white house. Simultaneous ly telegrams were sent to custums collectors throughout the country by the treasury department putting .into actual operatioti the first democratic tariff revision since 1894. A liappj group of legislators, membersof the cabinet and friends encircled the pres ident as he smilingly sat down and slowly affixed his signature with tiyd gold pens. N . He presented the pen that had writ ten the word "Woodrow" to Represen- titive Underwood and the one that completed . his name , to Senator Sim Dions, both of whom bowed their' ap preciation. ' Sk--(- Believers Short Talk. In impressive silence the president rose and deliv ered in easy. , natural tones an extemporaneous speech that tr ought prolonged applause. He de clared the journey of. legislative ac complishment had not been completed; that a great service had ' been done for the rank and file of the country but. that the secpnd step "in-the eman cipation of business was currency re- 1 form. HHe earnestly called upon hi3 colleagues to go "the rest of the jour ney"' with 'fresh impulse. ' Gentlemen, I feel a very peculiar , pleasure," said the president, "in what I have just done by way of taking Iart in the completion of a great piece of business. - It is a pleasure which is very hard to express in words which are 'adequate' to express the. feeling, because the feeling that I have Is that we have done vthe rank and file of the people of this country a great service.

Rexroat's blood stained rattan suit-case was found in his, room, as also was the revolver with which he said he had killed her. The police, while in doubt as to the full" truth of Spencer's story, ' believe they have found a wholesale murder er, and that he will be proven to have killed at least several of those whose deaths he described in a long confes sion tonight , Spencer's confession was ' so star t ling that it probably would have re ceived no credence had not the bloody--suit-case and the revolver confirmed at -least part of his statement.

I to.ok her honie that night and. we , decided to be good friends. . ; "After that night I saw her three or four nights, a week, for severarweeks.
