Edison Was Marvel Of His Time 'Asheville Cttiaen.i To estimate the life work of Thos A Edison would be to estimate the value of much that makes up mod ern civilization. He has been per haps the most remarkable man of his era. one of the greatest men of any era. and unquestionably one of the most useful men who ever lived If not the mod useful. His career becomes the more as tounding when the background against which it was achieved is studied. Mr. Edison was not a scientist like Maxwell or Faraday or Einstein. He had no training for the mathematical and philosophical re searches which have brought forth great scientific discoveries. Edison hardly went to school at all. But It was his genius for invention which took the suggestions of some scien tific. investigator and brought them to fulfillment. In this field he was supreme. He did more than ahy other man who has ever lived to apply scientific truth, to practical ends In such a manner as to revo lutionize civilization It was Edison's great achievement to develop practically the vast field of electricity. Beginning as a youth he has continued his work of Inven tion down to the present. Hardly onr of his inventions was acciden tal. Almost without exception they were ail the infinite labor, of true genius, and in their accomplish ment he triumphed overobstacles that had baffled and discouraged and defeated all others. Years of research and experimentation pre ceded his perfection of the incandes cent light, making possible man's conquest of the darkness He mod i’rnleed telegraphy, did much to promote the development of the telephone, laid the foundations for mol Ion pictures, gave us the phon ograph. worked out the magnetic treatment of iron ore and invented the storage battery which was soon to have so vastly expanded a field of service in the propulsion of au tomobiles, These and many other devices of incalculable value to the human race were the products- of his brain. And his energy in pro ductive work has been ceaseless down to the last There will doubtless be those who will say that If Edison had not achieved this series of inventions others would have done so This ar gument has been advanced as to the life work of every great indi vidual. Yet it is a futile contention and gets us nowhere. It la as futila and as preposterous as the silly saying that there is no man whose place can not b<f filled. Who would have filled C.eorge Washington’s place in the struggle lor American independence? Who was there in the south that might have led the Confederacy as did Robert E. Lee? Why is tlve shadow of Napoleon Bonaparte still over Fiance today as is that of no other mar the French have ever brought forth? These men left an enduring influ ence behind them; and in s differ ent field Thomas A. Edison also leaves such an influence behind him. For thousands of years the world got along with almost no mechani cal invention nt all. Ancient Civili zation was based on slave labor, iust as that of the Middle Ages de pended on serfs, In each case the vast bulk of human beings were manual laborers and only a small proportion of the population con tributed to or enjoyed cultural pro gress. But the last 175 years have witnessed a marvelous series of me chanical inventions which have re leased human energy for higher purposes and enormously increas ed i he comfort and safety of life. In many respects Nebuchadnerzer or Raineses II were much closer to George Washington than we are to day. So much is this the case that it is difficult for us to appreciate how restricted life was /ust two or three generations ago. Why the age of mechanical in vention should have begun about 1750 no man can explain. There had been nothing like it before in hu man history. It was natural for the western European nations to lead in this advance, as they were the centers of most progress. But wTTV predominance should have been enjoyed by England and the Unit ed States is again a singular-phen omenon Thousands in many lands might have attempted the inven tions which Edison perfected. It was left to this bold worker with out scientific training in the be ginning, to enrich the world as no one else had done in the field which he made his own. Students and research workers Play a greater part today than did kings, statesmen and soldiers of earlier centuries. And among these students in practical invention Edi son has been a leader without a peer. In him human intellect in one of its phases reached the flow ering point, at genius. Explanation of this is beyond human comprehen sion. But it Is one of the marvels of all times Try Star Want Ad«. Woman Gives Up In Trunk Murder vlrv .Imltl. Who Killed Two Pah, Say* They Attacked Her. La> Angeles, Oct, 26.—Alter evad ing hundreds of officers for flv2 days, Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, 2b. surrendered to police and sheriff's officers here Friday night, and told her husband she killed Hedvig Samuelson and Mrs. Agnes L* Roi, during a quarrel in Phoenix, Arir, Mrs. Judd, a Phoenix hospital employe, was quoted ,a* saying she shot her two former roommate - October 16 after they attacked her when she went to their apartment "to remonstrate with Miss Samuel son for some nasty things she had said about Mrs. Le Roi.” The bodies of the two women were found in two trunks and u suit case which had been sent to Los Angeles from Phoenix.

Judd, that she do so, she was bundled Into a police automobile and rushed to a hospital. One of her hands was wounded, apparent';; by a bullet. She was given into custody of of ficers at an undertaking establish ment. Mrs. Judd was said to have bees* in a sanitarium near Los Angeles during the four days that hundred' of officers of California and Ari zona sought her. Her hand was first dressed at the sanitarium, location of which was not disclosed. While her hand was being dressed slic said she carncj near capture by two l.os Angeles! policemen They walked into the I place and questioned her. but she : managed to make her escaiie Advised By Husband. in his newspaper request Dr. Judd gave the fugitive instructions to surrender to Attorney Louie Russ ill. The attorney, in one of the tele phone conversations with the wom an, asked her if she would meet him at the home of a friend She agreed. A meeting was arranged and David Malloy, an employe at the undertaking establishment, drove to | Filth and Olive streets where she entered his automobile.

Mrs. Le Rol grabbed an iron ing board and started to strike me over the head with it. “In the struggle I got hold of the gun and Se.mmie 'Miss S’.muelson) got shot. “Mrs. Le Roi was still coming at me with the ironing board and I had to shoot her. “Then I ran from the place—' Russill says that is as far as the woman could get with her story due to her condition, Furtherquestion ing will be made as soon as Mrs. Judd is able Mrs. Judd W4o attired in a green dress, a dark lagged coat with .• well worn fur at the collar. no stockings, black shoes and band ages on both hands.

S!.c -esville Dp.iiv. ■ One Oj tiie most dastardly crim es in the annals of Iredell county history was perpetrated in oitn Township, near Eupeptic Springs, Sr.turda'- afternoon. George Harkey, a young man' about 20 years of age, says that while walking along the road about half a mile from Eupeptic Springs Saturday f fterooon about 2 o'clock, h" was hailed by four young men, who drove up in an automobile. The four unidentified young men grab bed Harkey, took him out to the side of the road, in the edge of the woods, gagged him. threw hirnj down and then performed an il-, legal operation on him. Harkey's assailants had complet ed half their job when some pass ing motorist sounded his horn an:] this frightened the fo«r criminals away, leaving young Harkey, writh ing in pain, by the roadside. The four assailants jumped in their car whose motor had been left running. ; and sped away. Young Harkey soon recovered j from the shock sufficiently to pull j the handkerchief, which had been rammed down Into the back part of j his mouth, and then crawled and j dragged himself to a store, a quar-j ter of a mile away, where he told! his story and asked for medical at- f tention. It was about sunset, when! the mutilated youth, almost com- j pletely exhausted from loss of j blood and pain, reached the store' and asked for help. It was three j and a half hours after the criminal | operation was performed*until the1 young man received medical atten- I tion.
