TOXAWAY BANKRUPTCY MATTER. Taking of Testimony Before Special Kxnmlncr Thomas FVgun ot Astie TI11. Company Claims Thnt the Court Is Without Jurisdiction. Special to The Observer. Ashevlllc, March 15. The taking of testimony before Special Examiner Fred W. Thomas In the matter of tho Involuntary bankruptcy of the Toxa- way Hotel Company was begun this morning with both the creditors and the hotel company represented. The evidence Introduced to-day had to do with tho Toxaway Hotel Company as a "trading corporation." It is prob ublo that practically all the testimony will relate to whether or not the com pany comes under the bankruptcy law. When creditors of the company that operates tho string of hotels in the famous Bapphlrn Country moved to hnve the company declared bankrupt and ulno enjoined from transferring thn leuso the Toxaway Company an swered by alleging th.it tho United HtaloH Circuit Court for tho western listrlct of North Carolina, or any oth r court had Jurisdiction to declare the company bankrupt, that It was a cor poration organised under tho law of tho State of Ocorgla and that It did not come under the bankruptcy law. After rocelvlnx the petition of eredlt- r and the answer of the Toxaway Hotel Company Judo lioyd, of Greensboro, made an order directing that Fred V. Thomas, of AshevlMo, take testimony In the matter and sub mit his findings to the court. When the report of Special Examiner Thom as is filed Judge Boyd will then make his ruling slther adjudicating the Tox away Company bankrupt or dismiss ing tho whole proceeding. It Is likely that the hearing before Mr. Thomas will consume several days. WKSTKRN MARYLAND CHANGES.

There are soma trut-ia In Mr. Tompkins lettar that should be laid up for katpa, ac , There la a great deal appearing In print at present regarding tho uni versal effort to check the Increasing ravages of tha dread disease of tuber culosis, commonly known aa con sumption. t .,y r;v.; A noted doctor who hat mad this branch of human aliment, his especial tudy and who conducted the famous open, air camps for consumptives In the pine forests of Maine, In a re cent Interview gave aoma vary Inter. estlng comment! on this subject He ayt that tho treatment of contump- tion la very simple, but that It must ba continuous and diligently par sued by the patient and if this la done it is aura to cure in tho primary stages and frequently even where far advanced. Tha main part of tha treatment la exercise and the constant Inhaling of pura fresh air Into tha lungs In such a manner as to fore it into the deepest cavliy and air cells of that organ. This can ba dona by tha habit of deep breathing, drawing tn the abdo men and expanding the lungs to their fullest capacity and the nexhaltng j slowly. This at first will cause a lit tle disslness, but with a few days' practice will entirely disappear. Ha also advises the use of a mucous membrane stimulant and says for this latter there is nothing known to science to equal the oil obtained from the pine tree. There la now an oil of this kind which is con densed and purified. It Is known to the profession as the Concentrated oil of pine.

County Commissioner to Take Some Definite Action at April Meetings Original Plans Upset by Pack Will. Special to The Observer. Ashevllle, March 15. At the April meeting of the board of county com missioners some definite action will be taken relative to the building of a new and modern Jail for Buncombe county. The commissioners some time ago decided that a new jail building was absolutely necessary and steps were taken to secure plans for the proposed structure. It was the pur pose of the commissioners to locate the new Jail building on the present court house property and In the Im mediate rear of the temple of Justice. Investigation, however, revealed the fact that In deeding the property to the county the late Oeorge W. Pack made specific provision that a Jail should not bo placed on the land. This disclosure had the effect of up setting the plans of the county author ities und the Jail project was for the present abandoned. Now the com missioners have about decided on the old Jail property some distance In the rear of the court house as a site for tho new Ju.il. It Is proposed that the new Jail be erected to face on what Is known as Marjory street und almost adjoining the Jail now In use. This site will, It Is contended be nufTlclont close to the court house to answer all purposes. It Is the purpose of the commissioners to build a Jail that will cost approx imately 40,000 with a subway or un derground passage from the Jail build ing to the court house. Tho rough draft of plans for the build ing as submitted and which may be adopted, show a modern structure with all modern conveniences and ar-v senal where may be kept sufficient guns and ammunition to successfully resist attack on the Jail In tho event of a riot or nn nssnult on tho struc ture. The demand for a n-w Jail has been Insistent for the past several years and It Is now believed thnt the present bosrd of county commission ers will shortly undertnko the erec tion of the Jail building and thnt be fore their term of offlco expires next year Huncombe will have a Jail build ing that will bo a credit to the county.

The new quarters when completed will be among the most commodious, hand some and convenient In this part of the State. The work of building an additional story to that part of the Smith block, occupied by the Clover Drug Company, the Bank of Clover and the Clover Cotton Manufacturing Company's office Is now well advanc ed.

The people of Clover have, since trains No. 7 and 8 on the Caroljna and North Western RallroaiT"were discontinued last fall, been-patiently waiting for April 1 to roll around, as It waa their understanding that the management had, at the time they were taken off, made the uncondition al announcementthat at the time In dicated they would be restored and not discontinued any more, and as a result of the recent Interview in The Enquirer with General Manager Nichols, In which he stated that the train would not be restored, and gave as hla Teason (the passage of the new rate bill by the North Carolina Legislature, was something of a Jar to Cloverltes, as It was, no doubt all along the line. The sentiment here Is that while the Tar Heel politicians made a serious and Inexcusable blunder In this matter and one that Is sure, If allowed to stand by the courts, to injure the State equally as much. If not more that the rail roads, still' It Noe. 7 and 8 were re stores and "kept restored." they would pay Indirectly from the first and eventually would pay directly. Clover merchanta.
