The Railboad M biting at Fair View.
The adjourned meeting of the friends
of Die Carolina Central Railway, or
rather of the proposed extension of that
road to Asheville, will be held at Fair
View on Friday of this week. This is a
matter of vital importance to Asheville,
to .Buncombe and to Western North Car
ohna, and as President Robinson, of the
Carolina Central, has evinced a willing
ness and purpose to extend this road to
Asheville if he can be convinced it will
be of interest to the system he repre
sents, it behooves the people of this
whole section to take hold of the matter
in earnest, and secure if possible this
outlet 10 toe sea-coast, to .Baltimore and
to the outside world. Let the meeting
be well attended, and especially let the
delegation appointed to represent Ashe
ville attend.

A New York correspondent of the
Newt-Observer, who has recently been
touring the South, has this to bay of the
future of the Cranberry mines :
"The ereatest development North Car.
olina has ever known will come from the
rapid construction of the three C's rail
road (the Charleston, Cumberland and
Cincinnati road.) Preceding letters
nave contused incidental mention of
the marble, timber, iron ores and f-ni nf
tbe territory which that road i to tra
verse, but they have failed to
an appreciable or an approximate idea of
me vastness 01 inose various resources.
Now, much the larger body of the Bess
emer ores of the Cranberry district are
in Mitchell conntv. in vonr State, and
still nearei yon are the very large and
valuable deposits of hematite. At the
same time coal is within cheap handling
uibiance. . 1 1001c lor a development in
Mitchell county, conseouent upon the
bringing together of ore and coal or coke,
such as has never been known in any
one part of tbe Stats since the first
englishman landed on Roanoke Island.
What Birmingham. Anniston. Roanoke
and Sheffield have done and are doing
will be but aa the dust in the balance
compared with the future of some place
(I cannot say where) in Mitohell county.
But cheap iron and cheap coal mean very
much more to tbe whole State, for in
those are concentrated the whole of
industrial development." -

Numbering the Houses.
mis is a work: winch snould en
gage the serious consideration of
our city authorities, as it will not
ouly prove a great convenience ' to
our citizens and business men now,
but will at an early clay jbe an actu
al necessity, as our city grows and
its population increases.
The Southern Directory company
propose taking a complete census of
the city and numbering the houses,
together with other directory work,
in doing which, all at the same
time, they can afford to do work
cheaply as well as thoroughly. This
we feel eure should and will meet
the aid and encouragement of our
city authorities, who properly have
the welfare of the dty at heart, and
desire to see it ranked among the
first in the State.
At the present ratio of increase
of population and business, Ashe
ville will soon be entitled to a free
niaii delivery, wnicn will necessi-
the numbering of the houses, and
la t
wnicn win men cost .much more
than at present.

There is too muctvenue collect
ed by the government of the United
States. Tbe people pay too much
taxes into the Treasury, and they
pay it upon an inequitable basis.
The Internal Revenue taxes, al
ready too great were increased at the
last sessions of Congress bv the ad
dition of Oleomargarine to the list of
ouojecia taxeu. ii is estimated tnat
l! i a i t i r , , . , .
many millions of dollars will be
added to the public revenue from
this source alon, and it will be paid
by the poorer classes. - We should
like to see this tax and the tax on
tobacco abolished. In fact the
whole Internal Revenue system may
well be soared. And ehonld an v
deficitin the treasury result from its
abolition, it might be well sumjlied
by revenue from an income tax. Such
a tax wolud reach the capitalists
who have been made rich by war
speculations and protective'tariffs.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
A mistaken idea exists with many pa
trons' of newspapers throughout the
South, to the effect that the subscription
to a paper is not due until Vie end of the
yearK The universal role with, newspap
ers is cash in advakci; and this rule,
while rigidly enforced by all the North
era papersbas not been enforced in the
South. As a result every newspaper car
rier through the year a large proportion
ot its subscription entailing both loss and
great inconvenience to the publisher.
We think the time has come to adopt
this rule, and one subscribers must ob
serve, it. By doing so they . wHl enable
us to make a better paper, do greater
justice to the subscriber, and better our
selves.

As servant girls they can command wag
