Two very interesting questions
were raised when the case ot the
state vs Meridith and Zan Lyda
was called, on a motion made by
defendants to squash the bill of
indictment first because the coun
ty commissioners kept two jury
boxes Nos. 1 and 2 instead , of one
box with two divisions in same
marked $Tos..l and 2, and secondly
because the names of the grand
juipr were not called when the bill
was returned into court by them in
a body. The motion to squash was
overruled and the defendants ex-
morning. Great care was taken 451

Revival
Meeting
The revival meeting conducted J
by Rev. Geo. C. Cates and Rev. B. A.
Hall in the large 4 rink" building for
some weeks closed last Friday night.
In many ways this has been a won
derful series of religious services
it having been brought about large
ly by the earnest Christian business
men of the town,and had a wonder
ful influence upon men of that class,
constraning many of them to change
their walks of life and unite with
the different; churches of their
choice. An unusually large num
ber of professions of conversion
were made and many additions to
the membership ,- of the several
churches. The general moral and
religious effect upon the community
is very marked.
Revs. Cates and Hall are able and
earnest Christian workers, bearing
the reputation of successful evange
lists, which has been fully sustain
ed by their efforts in Henderson-vllle.

Charlotte Observer
; Forester J. S. Holmes recently
spent several weeks . studying the
forestry problems of Caldwell county
much the largest timber county
in western North I ai-olina--and
some of his conclusions as present
ed in a letter to the Lenoir News
deserve careful consideration. He
finds that more than $500,000 was
derived from lumbering in Caldwell
last year ajid thinks that this reve
nue can be maintained indefinitely
if the proper precautions are taken.
Chief of these precautions must be
precaution from fire. "White pine,"
he says; "grows rapidly and comes
in naturally over the greater part of
Caldwell county. Valuable stands
of seeond-growth white pine of all
ages are seen in different parts of
the county wherever areas have
been adequately protected from fire.
Unfortunately, forest fires have been
so common all through the mountain-sections
of Caldwell thai cut
over lands which in most cases
would support an almost pure
growth of this tree are in many
cases absolutely destitute of it" '
The situation in Caldwell is dupli
cated in this respect in practically
every section of the mountains and
the remedy proposed by Mr. Holmes
has consequently far more than
local significance. "A bill has been!
proposed for presentation to , the
legislature," he informs The NWs,
"which will provide for a system of
fire wardens in those , counties
where the danger and loss from fire
are greatest These wardens will
be expected to summon aid and ex
tinguish forest fires, but this will bel
only a part of their duty. They will
institute inquiries as to the cause of
fires and will collect evidence suffi
cient to convict offenders against
the forest laws. They will report
direct to some state officer who will
then prosecute in the name of the
state. This will obviate the un
pleasant necessity of private indi
viduals prosscuting their neighbors,
which has in large part made in
operative the present law."
We ore glad of this definite pro
posal to provide an aiequatefiie
protection whose crying need is
being more strikingly emphasized
eventweek. Mr. Holmes urges the
Caldwell delegation to bestir itself
in favor of such an enactment,
and it is greatly tone hoped that the
othr counties will fall into line and
unite in an active campaign.
Explosion
New York, Dec. 20 An explos

railroad's sub-station at fiftieth
street and Lexington avenue shook
tha$ section of the city at 8:22

giant beams and showers of brick
and stone for a hundred feet or
more, shattering the fronts of many
buildings, ripping off roofs, and
burying many persons beneath the
wreckage.
At Iest ten men and women
were killed outright and their bodice
recovered. Others, still unaccoun -ed

under tons of iron, brick, and

er Attorney General Bonoparte de
clined an invitation to attend a sup
per at the University Club to-night
to Gov.-elect Baldwin of .Connecti
cut, given by the faculty of the law
department of the University of
Maryland. Mr. Bonaparte pleaded
a previous engagement.
It is believed in some quarters
that his absence tonight is to be at
tributed directly to the controversy
between Col. Roosevelt and Judge
Baldwin, Mr. Bonaparte having
been a member of the ex-President's
Cabinet.
Local
Notes
Miss Dele Woodall will leave soon
after the first of January for Phila
delphia and will return here in
April.
Judge and Mrs. Thurman who
have been spending the fall at the
Kentucky Home have returned to
their home in Springfield, Ky.
Mrs. L. W. Brower and sons,
i James and Leslie will leave Satur
day for Sumter, S. C, to spend the
winter, returning home the first -of
April.
We are just enough interested in
Hendersonville and its business
men and their enterprises to do our
best to publish nothing that will in
jure or hinder them.
The M. E. Sunday school will give
their special collection to orphan's
home. And will send all gifts
brought to church on Monday next

at any time.
Married At the residence of the
bride's mother, Mrs. A. H. Burck
myer, Wednesday Dec. 21, 3:30 p.m.,
Miss. Ruth Burckmyer of Hender
sonville, to William Craig Fresythe
of Birmingham, Ala.
Neighbors, it is a nice thing for
the Asheville merchants for you to
take a day off and go down and
spend your money with them, but
its awful hard on the Henderson
ville merchants. Say, do as ou
would like to be done by, trade at
home, if you can possibly find what
vou need.
J. P. Case, our newly elected con
stable, is certainly making good.
Since he qualified on Iec. 5, injad
dition to a lot 01 civil work he has
made a number of arrests and raid
ed the Black Cafe, capturing some
five or six gallons of liquor, making
two arrests, seized on what I: v -ly
known as the "Rye patch" cap
tured about twenty gallons of the
ardent, making three arrests. Last
night in the Green River section,
armed with process weqt in on a
local dealer, seized about fifteen
gallons of spirits and made one ar
rest. We have ndt received the
particulars.
