The Citizen purposely withheld any
reference to a misunderstanding which
resulted in some sharp language on the
part of Mr. Gudger to Mr. Pearson at
Limestone. Some of the claquera of Mr.
Pearson having circulated the report that
Mr. Pearson , had made Mr. Gudger
retract, without any explanation "of Mr.
Pearson's - remark which elicited Mr.
Gudger'a remark, the following, from
Mr. R. O. Patterson, a strong and active
partizan of Mr. Pearson, who was sitting
near and witnessed all that occurred,
settles the truth of the matter .
"I take pleasure in stating in justice to
Mr. Gudger that in the settlement of the
misunderstanding between him and Mr.
Pearson that he, Mr. Gudger, acted the
part ol a true gentleman and that he did
nothing that reflects on his integrity or
personal courage. I assured him that he
misunderstood Mr. Pearson's remarks,
and when so assured he withdrew the
offensive language he had used toward
Mr. Pearson.

Mr. Ellas Makes a Grand

Special dispatch to the Cttizes. ;
. Charleston, N C, Oct.' 15. -',
The uieeting.here to-uiy to hear
Congressional and other campaign
ers was an immense one, one of the
largest which ever assembled in
Charleston. The speaking between
Messrs. Johnston and Malone was
ver3' spirited, and while the people
were expecting to hear the Majah
badly, worsted, Mr. Johnston's work
in that line far exceeded expecta
tion. It was one of the severest po
litical castigations these people eyer
heard, though entirely in good tem
per. You can rely on Johnston carry
ing Swain by a largely increased
maiority. After the Congressional
candidates concluded, the several
candidates for the Senate addressed
the people. This was quite spirited.
Some opposition to Mr. Elias, the
able standard bearer of democracy,
had manifested itself, but since
hearing his masterly speech, manly,
able, patriotic, all of this has dis
appeared and Mr. Elias will carry
Swain by a large majority.
Ihe west will do its lull duty tor
democracy this year.
Tiiat Fence in Swannnxoa.
Upon statements made to us a
few days ago relative to the county
fence between Swannanoa and
Black Mountain townships, the
Citizen stated that said fence was
nt what was contemplated by law,
and that it was the duty of the
Commissioners as well as the re
quirement cf law, that the fence be
made a lawful ono. Upon this state
ment of the Citizen prominent citi
zens of that section went and exam
ined that fence and haye sent us
their report. . We knew that the
county Commissioners only desire,
and only will have what the law
contemplates: and if the fence was
not of such character, the authori
ties would require it to be made so.
We publish the following statement
and show that all, authorities and
others, will do their duty in; this
matter.
The following is the statement :
We the ur.dersigued citizens of
Swannanoa township do hereby
certify that we have examined that
portion ol the county lence re
tered to Mr. Pearson in his speech at
Coopers, and unhesitatingly say it is
a good and sufficient fence, except
about a half a mile on the north end
which should be stopped up where
it is raised off the ground by blocks
orpillar3. Signed John McElroy,
J. M. Stephens, A. N. Alexander, J.
W. .Boone, W.-K. Alexander, li. li.
Clonls. The contractors, will, we
understand be required to make the
lence absolutely lawful.
ihere is a cheaper way to avoid
all this expense, and that is for the
people lo abolish all outside fences.
When they come t o look at this
right they will do this. '

Bros. & Co.," "Knauth, Nachod &
Kuhne," and the "American Exchange in
Europe (limited)," of New York, and is
prepared to cash Letters of Credit and
negotiate Domestic and Foreign Bills of
Exchange. '
The Bank begun operations in the old
banking room of the Bank of Cape Fear
or ante bellum days. Its business pros
pering rapidly, soon convinced the man-
agers that a more commodious and other
wise suitable building was necessary, and
they purchased last April the store
building on South Court Square, fronting
Main street, of Mr. James P. Sawyer,
and proceeded at .once to thoroughly
remodel the building from cellar to
garret, in the latest and most improved
style of bank appointment, and to-mor
row the Bank is open for business in
their new and elegant quarters. The
plans for the improvements were design
ed by Messrs. Breese and Hull, who have
thus proven their capacity for fine
architectura'. -work. Tho contract was
awarded Messrs. Wagner and Hart whose
success in Aeheville has won for them
enviable reputations. The new building
is f medieval stylo, resembling an old
Norman Castle, with its embattlements,
embrasures, flanking bastions and maj
estic turreled tower over-looking the
surrounding country. The very appear
ance of the building itself is one of
safety. The Banking floor is approach
ed through a handsome vestibule in the
towerthrough an outer door of walnut
and an inner door of dwry, beautifully
designed and made especially for this
Bank by Messrs. Clayton & Son, Ashe
ville. The vestibule and lobby are laid
in marble in diamond squares; the win
dows are large and elegant, upper sashes
of best Venetian Cathedral glass, lower
of fine French plate three-eights inch
thick; pivoted in the center.
The ceiling is of corrugated iron, in
large and small . panels, fire-proof, and
beautifully decorated by that accomplish
ed artist Mr. Koger Davis. The walls are
painted a rich chocolate tint, with cherry
baseboard and mouldings, elegantly fres
coeddado style; where the walls reach the
ceiling is a down-hanging frieze of old
gold bordered with rich gilt mouldings,
all the wall decorations being harmoni
ous. The whole floor is devoted to the
business of the bank, divided into the
business room proper, and a President's
room, separated by elegant screens
which, with the counters, are made of
beautifully polished cherry mouldings;
mahogony panels, desks of cherry sur
mounted by French plats glass. Under
all the desks are closets,' pigeon-boles,
&c., for papers &c. The business room
is most conveniently arranged, and most
comfortably and attractively furnished.
The Cashier's opening is defended by
elegant mahogony and cherry pilasters
and cap, the arch being a beautiful hand
wrought sun-burst, supports, and defen
ders being of brass rods', let in though
carved bands of mahogony. The Presi
dent's room is finished in'ame general
style, elegantly furnished throughout,
sofas and chairs of elegant embossed
leather with beautiful designs and cher
ry frames.
The Conant Brothers Furniture Com
pany of Toledo Ohio, designed and man
ufactured all the furniture, desks,; coun
ters, &c, tc., of the banking and the
President's room, and it was, oil put up
under the personal supervision of Mr. J
A. Conant, of the firm, who has been
spending some months in our . city, and,
we are pleased to know, will make it his
future home. Mr. Conant is a stockhold
er in the Bank, and kindly gave his per
sonal services in this matter, '
the vault, ' . -Its

foundation, fourteen feet deep; the floor
is of railroad steel rails grouted in Port

and boiler iron; the dome of vault . is

feet long, each stone weighinga ton. All
the granite work is laid and jointed in
Portland cement, bound and keyed to

sunk in every stone. .T)oora of the vault,
outer and inner, are of Herring and Fer
ret's ' manufacture, with massive bolts
and duplex combination, requiring the
services of two officers to Open the same.
An iron grating door admits to the vault
proper." , Inside this solid Tefuge is a

Now we find the neplus 'ultra feature
of this vault the safe itself. This is one
of Herring's newest and most improved.

and Frankltnite; has jt wo doorj jto main
body of chest, one thtee and . one half,
the other three inches thick, mad of the
same material, and supplied with twelve
double actinz bolts each. When closed
these doors swing independent of hinges
and join against a dove-tailed and rubber
packing, rendering " the chest proof
against the introduction of nitro glycer
ine or giant powder or other disturbing
elements. Inside this chest is a still
smaller chest, alike in all protective fea
tures and appointments designed for
keeping the 'reserve fund" as lequired
by the United States government.
y v . . THB SGC05D FLOOR .'
has been divided into two suits of double
rooms, and one single room, designed
for offices. This floor is reached by a
seven foot stairway in rear of bank and
is protected at the head of stairs by a
substantial storm-door. An eight-foot
hall runs entire length of building.
Booms open into each other by folding
doors. The windows are very hand
some, upper sash being of cathedral
glass, lower of plate and double German
glass. The transom over the outer door
to thestairway is of very beautiful cathe
dral glass.
On this floor the Western Union Tel
egraph Company will occupy two rooms
for an office; Mr. Josep'i S. Adams, so
licitor of the French Broad Bank will
occupy another, and the two front rooms
will be occupied by Drs. W. L. and W.
D. Billiard as offices. These rooms will
all be furnished elegantly, according to
the tastes of the occupants of each.
The building, every room and halls, is
well heated by one of Scales' Improved
furnaces, manufactured specially for this
bank, with a heating capacity of one
hundred thousand cubic feet. This
heating arrangement is a very interest
ing feature, and will prove an economi
cal system of heating the building.
About two tons of coal per month will
be required to supply the furnace.
The building is furnished with water
by a cistern; also from the city water
supply. Closets &c. on each floor. The
building is separated from all others by
a dead wall, and its only - fire" exposure
is protected by heavy iron shutters.
THB PRESIDENT.
Capt. William E. Breese, the Presi
dent, is a young man, of indomitable
energy, quick peeception, . With' a turn,
for business thoroughly ingrained in his
every fibre. As a mere boy he entered
the Confederate service, when coming
out after the surrender being only 16
years old. He soon thereafter entered
the counting room of Geo. W. Williams
& Co. as junior clerk, and by his
pluck; . strict " ! fidelity and intelli
gent appreciation of business mat
ters and methods . rose step by
step until he became cashier of the
firm. " Irom this position he was sought
by the First National Bank of Charleston
succeeding his father as cashier of that
important institution, and gave to it his
best energies and contributing to its
management with such success as is best
evidenced by the fact that the stock of
said bank on his retirement was selling
at three hundred dollars per share. Mis
training as a banker has been all . that
could be desired and ' the proof of the
great confidence reposed in his charac
ter and capacity is shown in the sub
scription of his old firm of Geo. W. Wil
liams & Co., and many of the stockhold
ers of the First National Bank, including
Dr. Andrew Simonds who is recognized
as one of the foremost bankers of the
country to the stock of bur bank. Of
very pleasant manners, of great
public spirit, feeling great pride and
confidence in the house of his adop
tion, Capt. Breese will prove a most use
ful, as he. has already proven a mopt wor
thy citizen. '
,'.-. THE 0ASI1IEE, : " ' 'j .. .
? William Henry Penland, of this city,
is one of the most promising ' and thor
ough business men among the host: of
young men raised in this section. A
graduate of Emory and Henry College,
he entered business life well equipped,
which equipment was but enlarged and
broadened under the careful training and
superior business methods of his father,
the late M. P. Penland, who was for
many years a leading merchant of this
section, with large business enterprises
in other counties. Henry -entered the
mercantile business with his father,
becoming the junor member of the firm
of M. P. Penland and Son, which existed
until the death of the father .A partner
ship was then formed with Mr. J.": M.
Alexander which continued' ;until Mi
Penland was tendered and accepted the
position he now so ably and acceptably
fills in the First National Bank. Mr.
Penland has been identified with Ashe
ville's progress, and interested in every
effort for her advancement. ; Held for
one term the position of alderman, and

Ocr, State Expected to do - Her
' BEST. . .::
The Daily Free Press of Easton
Pa.,says: ' .. . ' '
"If North Carolina's . exhibit in
October, under the auspices of
Northern settlers, does not prove
that the old-North State i3 wonder
fully rich in all that goes to make
up a fine country there will be some
sorely disappointed people. But
from all indications, there will be
nothing of thb kind. Ihe informa
tion as to the proposed exhibit leaves
no reason for doubting that it will
exceed anything North Carolina
has ever known,, and will astonish
the natives themselves."
Our people can thus see what is
expected by Northern people who
will attend the Fair, and we urge
them all to send to - Messrs. Atkin
son and Cocke the best specimens
of products to be sent to Raleigh.

H. H. Lyons can always be relied upon
to carry in stock the purest and best
good, and sustain the reputation of being
active, pushing and reliable, by recom
mending articles with well established
merit and such as are popular. Having
the agency for the celebrated Dr. King's
New Discovery for consumption, colds
and coughs, will sell it on a positive
guarantee. It will surely cure any and
every affection of throat, lungs, or chest,
and in order to prove our claim, we ask
you to call and-get a trial bottle free.
