CUP OF JOY FOLL Colonel Lusk's Fight for Prohibition Bcgnn tho War Flfiy Ycar Aj and lias Never firown Warv in Well Dome: Thousands in .WitM ill Arc filed. (Special to Xews and Ob- rver.) Asheville, X. C.. Oct. 8 While there Is no doubt that hundreds of men and thousands of women and children in Asheville today are made glad over the. result of yesterday's prohibition thers is one Asheville citizen especi ally whose cup of Joy is full to the brim-! He is Colonel Virgil S. L.uak. ex-Con federate soldier, lawyer, states man'; and" politician and like-wise the "old Jwan horseT 7 of the Republican party In Buncombe eouhty. For more than Mhalf a. century In season and out.. on the stump and in private -Col. LAiskihas fought the battles of pro hibition. Last night he lay down to sleep j with the full knowledge that his one cherished hope had been re alised; Col. Lusk is perhaps the old est prohibitionist in Asheville. He went i "dry" in 185C and since that time has been a consistent prohibi tionist Col. Lusk. who is a most interesting conversationalist and a profound thinker, was In conversation with a newspaper man the other day whn l the subject of the local pro hibition campaign came up and the Colonel declared that Asheville was surely, going "dry." "Colonel," spoke the newspaper man. who had known Col. Lu.k for twenty odd years, "how long have you, been fighting for prohibition?" Col.; Lusk clear, d his throat and made this reply: "For more than half a century. I Joined the Sons of Tem perance in 1854 and that year made my first prohibition speech. I have been at it ever since. It is my cher ished hope to see both Asheville and Buncombe county "dry" when not a drop of liquor can be sold legally In either telty or county." If Col. Lusk. who in 1895, repre sented Buncombe county In the Gen eral Assembly In Xorth Carolina, is spared to see the dawn of a new year, he wltl have lived to see that long looked Cr day. On that day the saloons of Asheville and the distill eries of Asheville will go out of bus iness and both the city and the county will be "dry." Intolerable Situation Recalled. Col. I Lusk In the course of his con versation the other day said that Asheville and Buncombe county had never ! in their history been "dry." both dry at one and the same time Asheville was once "dry" for a short period. It was In 1872, according to Col Lusk. that whiskey was voted out of the city. At that time, however. the county was "wet. As a resnlt the saloons in the city were moved Just o"ut of town on the outskirts of the city and the situation, said Col. Lusk was horrible simply intolerable, the reasons being that the ttaloons were funning in full blast and without police regulation and restriction as was the case in the city. This situa tion and 'condition, however, was soon abated and the saloons were voted back s into the city. Since that time they have never been closed exce.it on elections and Sunday or for half a day voluntarily About eight years ago whiskey in the county went out under the Curtfs law. That law prohibited the rale and manufacture of spirits outside of the cltv and as a consequence all the. distilleries were brought into town.S Now tiie people have voted both the '-saloons and the distilleries out of Asheville and after midnight on December 31. 1907, no whiskey can be msde or sold legally in Ashe ville pr Buncombe county.

(Special to News aud Observer.) High Point X. C. Oct. 9. At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night Dee Allen and his associ ates appeared and claimed that the work already done on the street rail way was in compliance with the terras of the franchise and asked that the board so agree over Its aignature. which was done, giving Mr. Allen a clear right of way. Seven miles of grading has been done altogether in and out of town, and it is the inten tion of the company to commence laying rails and complete what has al ready been graced, so as to put rolling stock on the line as early as possible, thereby making the work . progress faster and placing cross-ties nearer the base of operations and at a cheap er price. The line will be completed first of all between here and Thom asvllle and then. from here to Greens boro and Winston by the company's park, three or four miles out. Then connection will be made with the Sea board Air Line or the Atlantic Coast Line at some pointt probably Wades boro. Sometime ago Mr. Stack, the land scape gardner .who has done so much work here, was reported 'dead, but he turned up very much alive here yes terday and after being told about the rumor, said: "Yes. I read the same thing, but I knew it wasn't so as soon as I saw it" With the talk of a cotton factory tor High Point it is learned that Messrs. tr. P. and F. M. Pickett are contem plating the establishing of a knitting mill in their old tobacco factory on Xorth Main street, an ideal place for such an enterprise. Their plans have not fully materialized yet, but their friends are confident that they are seriously thinking of such a project. ' :Y sterday at Asheboro the old Hoo ver Hill Gold Mining property was bought by High Point parties, the buyers being Messrs. Dougan Davis, E. M. Armfleld. H. C. Brlles and Thomas Farlow. The mine was-first worked by an -English' syndicate and was at one time a paying business. ; Horney-'fir Harwell have put in "a moving picture show for colored peo ple at the Will Davis store on East Washington street, the show opening for business tonight.

Attentions Shown Cor poration Commission MANY ASK QUESTIONS tnviicions Part Assigned to Chair- I ' t- - I man McNeill in Convention . of j i I i State Railroad Commissioners Kxtension of Federal Gov- ernment Authority Opposed, j By TllOSlAS J. PXCE. i Washington, D. C. Oct. 8. The State railway commissioners from the various States of the Unjon, who are attending their annual meeting -here, are very much interested jin the action of the North Carolina authorities in reducing rates, and- for this reason Chtirman McNeill and Commission ers Beddlngfleld and Rogers, who are attending the sessions, have been sin gled out for much attention, The meeting is the most largely attended in the history of the association. A numeb rof States that have recently created commissions are! represented for the first time and there are other evidences of the growth of the move ments for the State regulation of rail roads, j Chairman Franklin McNeill, of the North Carolina Commission, was hon ored With election as chairman- of the committee on amendment: of the Inter state commerce act. He made his re port today, which was one of the most important matters under considera tion. The suggestion by Chairman Knapp, of the Inter-state Commerce Commission, that that body be re lieved of its executive duties and its activities be confined to judicial mat ters, was discussed at length. Chair man McNeill's recommendation that there be no amendment to the pres ent interstate cemmerce jact until the operation o. tS pfescnt taw ha"l5en fairly and thoroughly tried and its defects demonstrated was .acted upon favorably. r One of the things Chairman Mc Neill touched upon in j his report, which was very heartily applauded, was President Roosevelt's suggestion of absolute Federal control of rail roads. Mr. McNeill said in his report. While the relations of the interstate and the State commissions have al ways, so far as I aam aware. Ween most amicable, there seems to be a disposition among some, not mem bers of the commission; j to limit the powers of the State commission and centralise the power In !the national commission. Your committee doubts the wisdom of this suggestion. The expediency of limiting the States in the exercise, of such powers as can be more effectively exercised by State authority, if the power I of Congress to do so were clear, isi exceedingly doubtful, to say the least of it. "This recommendation was ap proved. The commissioners are over whelmingly opposed to ithe idea of federalizing the railroads. Commis- sioner S. L. Rogers has been placed on the committee foi? the enforcement of the orders of the iStat commissions. LITTLE BOB WILL, KETTJtE. Editor Donglan to e Succeeded on the Industrial News by V. A. Illldebrand. i !' ' X (Special to News ;and Observer.) Greensboro, NY C, Oct. 9. The an nouncement in the i New Bern Sun this morning under a Greensboro date line, that R. D. Douglas had retired, as editor of the Industrial News and W. A. Hllderbrand, bf Asheville, had been elected to the position.! was not sent out by this correspondent. There was a meeting of tree executive com mittee here Monday; night, and the matter of changes in the .paper's va rious departments was discussed, but the employment of Mr. Hlldebrand was denied by those who only could have known. When asked about the matter. Judge Adams, who is the one in authority here, stated that Mr. Douglas was still the editor and the announcement was .premature. Mr. Douglas declined to say anything, sim ply referring the niatter to Judge Adams. From all this it would appear that Mr. Douglas will soon make an au thoritative announcement bf his re tirement from thfe post; and while the publication may have been premature, from Judge Adams? statement it would seem that Mr; Hildebrand will be the man. J There are so many rumors of "shake-ups." etc.. eyerytlme the In dustrial News committee meets that this correspondent generally-takes the word of those concerned in the meet lngs as to Importatit matters. Hence when the rumor of this editorial change reached him and its verification- was denied, it was dropped. .FAVORS PARCELS POST.
