APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY
HOLDS MEETING
Attended By Citizens
A meeting of very great interest to
Tryon was held in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms, Monday afternoon,
at which A. M. Law, A. L. Berry,.
Waverly Hester, P. G. Morris, C. W.
Morgan, Chas. J. Lynch, B. Ballenger,
Senator F. P. Bacon who is a director
of the Aplpaachian Way association,

president, Chas. N. Evans, secretary
of the Appalachian Way association,
Mr. Marble an Asheville good roads
enthusiast and Chas 0. Hearon of the
North Carolina State Highway Commission
and a director in the Appalachian
Way. ^
This important and air-line auto
route from Chicago to Miami, Fla.,
passes through Try?nMr.
Goble and Mr. Evans, officials
of the Third National bank of Cincinatti,
have given their time and that
of two stenographers for two years to
.bring the Appalachian Way to fruL
[tion, and to them is very largely due
all that has been accomplished.
To meet the expense, the States
traversed are to be assessed in proportion
to the benefits that will accrue
to each. North Carolina's quota
is to be $1,000.00 a year for two years
of which Asheville guarantees $500.00
annually. The remainder will be raised
by Hot Springs, Weaverville, 'HeijdersonviUe,
SaJuda, Try?n ancl Other
towns through which the Way passes.
The plan will place very light assessments
on each town, the return for
benefits that will accrue to it.
Mr. Goble stated that the employ
ment of a capable man wouia insure
the completion of the entire route
within tyro years.
Mr. GOble when asked his opinion
as to what value of the Appalachian
Way would be to the towns trough
which it passed, emphatically said:
"In Cincinnati we are confident it
will be of greater value to our city
than any one of the raillroads entering
it,, and if it were not for the fact
that there should be an equitable dis.
tribution of te expense necessary to
complete the project, Cincinnati would
and could raise the needed funds in
an hour.
Tryon will of course provide hei
I share.

uncle, Lonzo Anderson, near the latter's
home on the headwaters of Big ;
Ivy Creek, only shot his uncle when
the latter advanced on him with an
axe alter threatening to take his life, j
little ten-year-old Cecil Anderson, an i
eye witness, testified.
Soon after the small boy took the
stand Solicitor J. Ed. Swain said:
"Cecil, you know what happened to
little boys who tell lies?" "Yes sir."
"What happens to them?" the solicitor
inquired. "They go to the bad man,"
Cecil said.
"Who told you this?"
"My Granny," the youth said.
Youth Tells Story
Cecil then went into his version
of the slaying. Under questioning by
the solicitor he testified his grandfather,
Lonzo Anderson, was in ike
yard of his own home. "Big Bob" was
in Lonzo's house. "Big Bob" rushed
out of the house and pushed Lonzo
down, then knelt on him and struck
him on the side of the head with a
five-pound stone, the boy said. While
Lonzo was on the ground, Big Bob
took a pistol from his pocket and
backed away while 'Black Bob" Anderson,
his father and a brother, Jack,
attempted to pull him away from the
scene but he wheeled and shot Lonzo,
the witness declared three times,
one bullet passing through his chest
and penetrating almost to his spine.
The other two balls took effect in
Lonzo's leg. ;

"Papa's" where he lived, he testified.
A pack of hound dogs, belonging to
"Big Bob" started after the Shepherd
dog and chased it up the side of the
mountain, Lonzo went in the house
and seized his rifle saying to Big Bob
sitting by the open door, "I am going

Lonzo went out, returning In a few
minutes to put is rifle in the corner,
the witness said, Then he went out of
the house again. He told Big Bob he
intended to kill the dogs, and when
Robert remonstrated Lonzo said. "I
will kill you too," according to Cecil's
story.
At this point Big Bob rushed out of
the house, down the steps and gave
Lonzo a push throwing him to the
ground. He then seized a rock and
struck Lonzo on the head. While he
had his uncle on the ground Big Bob
took the Colt .45 calibre automatic
pistol from the man's pocket placing
it in his own.
Goes to Chopping Block
Lonzo got up, Cecil said, went to
the Chopping block nearby, seized the
axe in his hand, and came back toward
his nephew Big Bob admonished he
not to come closer but e stepped up
just in front of Big Bob with the axe
in his hand, the witness testified. Big
Bob pulled out the pistol and fired
at him five times, Cecil testified. Lonzo
stood up until after the firing
ceased, then slumped to the ground,
dead, three of the balls having taken
effect.
The little mountain boy gave his
evidence in a straightforward manner
his voice low but audible. He appeared
to be in no wise nervous, but answered
the questions of the attorneys in
telligently. The boy said, in answer w
the defense attorneys, that his "Granny"
had told him about the "bad man
after the shooting had occurred.

Than Ever
Sjart&nburg, S. C.( April 20.?Ossip
Gabrllowltsch, Solo Pianist, will appear
in concert at the Spartanburg
Music Festival, which will be held in
Converse College auditorium on May
6, 7 and 8. Mr. Gabrilowitsch is also
conductor of the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra, which has been secured for
this year's festival. Mr. Gabrilowitsch
will conduct a symphonyon Thursday
afternoon and will also give three selections
by Russian composers. As he is
himself of Russian parentage, though
now an American citizen of some years
standing, it is expected that this performance
will be one of peculiar
strength and interest. Mr. Gabrilowitsch
will also conduct two numbers
on Friday afternoon and all the orchestral
numbers on Artists night.
With Mr. Gabrilowitsch will come his t
associate conductor, Mr. Victor Kolar,
who will take an important part in
the orchestral conducting for the Festival
including the work of leading the
orchestra in the concerto on hursday
afternoon, when Mr. Gabrilowitsch appears
as soloist at the piano. Mr.
Gabrilowitsch has this year played
in New York City a number of pro
grams, among them one celebrating
his twenty-fifth anniversary as a solo
player in that city, when Carnegie
Hall was crowded with an audience
of several thousand musicians and
music lovers. His orchestral conducting
has been the subject of uniform
and highest praise by the most expert
critics in Europe and in this country.
Those who heard him conduct one
number at .our Festival last year will
not fail to tell all their friends that
they cannot afford/ to miss hearing
Mr. Gabrilowitsctf both as soloist at
the piano and as virtuoso conductor.

with the Mayoi? and other notables
to make felicitous remarks, and with
other appropriate ceremonies, not to
mention a super-film.
But the public may, next Saturday
night, enter the doors of the new
theater, sit themselves in the most
comfortable seats made by the justly
celebrated American Seating Company,
rejoice in the best ventilating
system as yet invented the same used
by the Rialto Theater of New York?
and see its pictures cast upon a
Mimusa Gqld Fibre screen. This last
statement may not mean much to the
uninitiated, but to those who know
about the technique of screens, it
means that there will not be eyestrain
even for those who sit nearest
to the stage. Soft mellow and even,
the pictures flow along over this
gold screen with all the semblance
of life. <
As for the ventilation, it sends
fresh air to every seat and without
causing a draft ^Aywhere. The. makers
of the system say that in times of
epidemic, their theaters are safer than
the homes of the people, because the
air is the freshest to be obtained beneath
any roof.
There are seven boxes, two of which
will be open to the public. Four of
the boxes have already been rented
by the year, the holders being Mrs.
Godshaw, Mrs. Wellington Stone, Mr.
qiauue nauenger ana air. diuouuo
Ballenger.
One of the chief attractions will be
the organ?a Seeburgh, which is to
be played by Miss Elizabeth Grady,
who has as her friends know, a most
unusual talent and feeling for organ
music. The music wijl be that indicated
by the scenario directions and
will be applicable to the play.
The stage is equipped not only, for
1 t
the screen, but for concerts, the
drama, lectures, or any road entertain- A
ment, and will no doubt become a priz- jed
feature of the developing life of #> 1
Tryon. * *.
As for the safety of the theater, it
has been pronounced by experts to be
exceptional. There are three exits;
the floor is said to have strength sufficient
to bear the strain of five times
the number of persons for?-Which the
hall has capacity; the roof is entirely si
independent of the floor supports for
its security.
