When the general manager of lines east made his first trip over the Asheville- division recently, the honor of handling his train was accorded to Engineer W. W. Pitts, who at Glen Alpine, on April 13, 1882, gave Gen eral Manager R. E. Simpson his first job as a water boy on the Western North Carolina railroad. At that time Engineer Pitts, who is known as "Uncle Bill," was foreman of what was known as a floating gang, and Mr. Simpson was a lad of twelve yearsr. -"Uncle Bill" is very proud of the honor of having "discovered" Mr. Simpson for the Southern Railway, and his appreciation of the compli ment was unbounded when he was se lected as the first engineer' to pull him as general manager over, the Asheville division.

Will Go Into Virtual Seclusion For a Time After HeXeaves The White House President Wilson plans to go into virtual . seclusion for a time after March 4. - Freed from the responsibilities of office which ave weighed heavily up on him during his convalescence, Mr. Wilso'n, his friends say, will shut himself in f qt a, period of intensive rest and quieftn the new homevhe has purchased in Washington. He will deny himself toall callers except immediate members of his family, it is said, and a very few intimate friends with whom throughout his illness he has kept in contact. No formal engagements of any character are expected to be made by the President until he shall have thoroughly adjusted himself to pri vate life after some 10 years in pub lic service. Even the writing which he has planned to do upon his retire ment from the White House will be postponed for several months, his friends say. Mr. Wilson" is understood to have declined a number of invitations to l j. - j.1 -C spend part oi wie summer out ox Washington, but because of his de light with the pleasant weather there last summer, the nrst wnicn ne naa spent in the city, it is regarded as unlikely that he will accept any of these invitations. For possibly six months, friends of the President believe, his life 'will be wholly taken up with recreation. His chief diversion since his illness has been reading. He is said to have practically exhausted the field of de tective storis, of which he has al ways been especially fond,' and more recently has taken up novels and I 1 . .

Congress started another busy week Monday by completing adop tion over the President's veto of the joint resolution directing, the cessa tion of enlistments until the army is reduced to 175,000 men, according to all indications The resolutioriwas re-adopLod by the house ,271 to 16 within an hour after the President's veto had been announced. Only a few working days- remain for this session of Congress and both the house and senate are expected this week to begin early morning and night sessions. The Fordney emer gency tariff bill .now beforevihe sen ate, is the key log of the congres sional jam which threatens extinc- ion not only of much important leg islation but of seevral regular appro priation bills. Passage of the tariff 1 bill this week was the aim of the Re publican senate-leaders, who thenf plan to put their shoulders behind a cleanup program of appropriation measures. - AmoYig important legislation caught in the jam with predictions of extinction are the packer regula tion bill, the soldiers bonus measure, the Calder coal regulation bill, the measure for reapportionment of the house and proposals - for disarma ment agreement. Only one of the 16 regular supply bills have passed the senate, six of which are waiting consideration and others are in the senate committees or awaiting action in the house. The latter expects this week to pass the last four appropriation measures, the huge army and navy budgets, the fortifications measure , and the de ficiency bill. In honor of hr birtbdav Mrs! C. B.

HILDEBRAND BUYS CONTROL ASHEVILLE TIMES : The controlling interest in The Asheville Times has passed from the hands of Charles J. Harris, of Dills boro. to a group of - citizens headed by W. A.

' ' r State legislators differing with all of the road bills for a State-wide system of hard-surfaced highways have served notice that they will carry the fight to the floor of the 'Senate and House and there attempt to secure revision in the measures. That there is a wide difference of opinion over the method of building a State system of highways is admit ted and this fact is borne out by the introduction of four bills, all calling for virtually the same mileage, but differing greatly in the main. De--bate over the Doughton-Connor bill, one of the first to be laid before the lawmakers, is expected to consume a major .portion of the time of v the legislative session for some time. Representatives of the North Caror Una Good Roads association and the Citizens Highway association from all sections of the State attended the public hearing before the com mittee on roads . and turnpikes Thursday afternoon. There were about 300 men and women presnt at the hearing and a number who spoke endorsed in the main the Doughton Connor bill. The sentiment of those who spoke was that the roads sjiould be constructed by the State and maintained by-the State as well. The following made brief address es endorsing the measure and urged its passage: Gov. Will Newland, of Caldwell county; J. El wood Cox, of High Point; Leonard Tufts, of Pine hurst; John S. Hill, of Durham; D. F. Giles, of Marion; W. D. McMillan, of Wilmington; N. G. Buckner, of Asheville; E. J. Sharpe, of Kannap olis; C. S. Wallace, of Morehead City; Secretary Case, of Elizabeth City; T. J. Finch, of Thomas ville; Miss Hattie Berry, secretary oi tne North Carolina Good Roads associa tion, and Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick of Charlotte. Heriot Clarkson of Char lotte, chairman of the joint legisla tive committee of the two road asso ciation, acted as spokesman for the delegation.' Mrs. Mary Sloop, of Avery county, also endorsed the bill. Vote for School Bonds Saturday. Vote for . School Bonds Saturday.
