All those who are weary and heavily laden will call on him for relief a sure cure from trouble, now or hereafter. A plank walk is being built from Pat- ton Avenue down Depot street to the Depot. This, together with the two electric lights which are to be placed on .Depot street, will be of great convenience to the traveling public. The new store building of Mr. John Straith, oa west Patton Ave nue, will be one of the largest build ings on that street. Messrs. Straith & Thomson will this week open in this building a family grocery and provision store, and the push and enorgy 'bf these men, we feel assured, will give them success. Much interest continues to be felt here as to the fate of the Pearson bill for repeal of the Buncombe stock law. We can 'only, state we believe the Peaiwori ' bjtf , has been effectually killed. ? A eviJstilute will doubtless be adopted which will meet the wants and wishes of a large majority ot the people of the county, In speaking yesterday of the sale of tobacco at the Farmers' ware house by Mr. J. J. White, of Madi son, the types made us say that he sold 215 K)3. at 35 cts. per pound. This was correct as far as it went, but this price was obtained for brig Id lugs, and these lugs were cured by the Hardwicke and Welles' Heat Regulator.

The rid would, in addition to taking one to and from the bead of the Carolina Central Kaiiroad, give one ot the finest views in Western North Carolina there is nothing sur passing in magcificient scenery the Chimnev Rock and Hickory Nat Gap road, and both the traveler and tourist would be well repaid at any season, but more especially in spring and summer, to ride over this route; the eye will be feasted with beautiful cascades and a thousand and one lovely scenes that can be found no where else excelled in grand eur. Who will put on this line and make some money ? The Asbeviixb Tobacco Market. Feeling assured that the tobacco mar ket of Asheville this season was better, under all circumstances, than ever before, we have endeavored to ascertain this fact fully, and to this end have inter viewed the different warehousemen of Asheville with the following results : Major Wallace W. Rollins, of the Far mer's Warehouse himself a pioneer in the growth of tobacco in this section and who for many years patronized the Lynchburg and other markets says the crop of last year throughout this section was at least 40 per cent short of the previous crop in bulk, but a much better average in quality was obtained, gener ally bright being cured. But notwith standing this shortness of crop, the sales on this market this winter will exceed in quantity that sold last winter, while the prices obtained will be decidedly better, the grades generally being im proved. This result is broach t about by the sale here this winter of a large quan tity of tobacco that has heretofore found its way to Lynchburg, Danville and other markets, the farmer now being satisfied witn tne prices obtained n the Ashe ville market, which will compare favor ably with any other market in the coun try, Dotn in prices obtained ana the quality of tohacco offered. The farmers generally and almost vbsolurely are satia ted with prices obtained cere this sea son. The number of buyers on the Ashe ville market are more numerous this winter, and they have orders-enough from the large centres, both east and west, to take up the entire crop of Western Noith Carolina. Major Rollins said the Ashe ville tobacco market was una uestionably improving rapidly and all the warehouses are doing a good business speaking for his own warehouse, the farmers, they had already sold as much this season as their house Bold last season in its entirety. In reply as to what the farmers would do the coming season, Major Rollins said his information led him to believe that the acreage planted the present year would be even smaller than that planted last year, but that the crop would be bet ter handled and better cured a result devoutly wished for by those having the best interests of the tobacco .market at stake. - ..Dr. J. M, Steveria,- Gf t&c- Euucoti.be warehouse, thought that last year's crop would result in from 65 to 75 per cent, of the previous crop, but that the grade was decidedly better and commanded much better prices on the market. The breaks thus far, this season, had been uniformly good, and satisfactory prices had been obtained, the farmers, in all cases within his knowledge, having been satisfied ; but he felt that the tobacco growers of this country must work to raise bright tobacco this country was peculiarly adapted to the growth of brights, while other sections conld only grow the heavy tobacco, and we could not compete ith them. He would urge small acre age and a better average in in grades three acres in tobacco well n anaeed would give better net results than 10 acres of indifferent handling. tie believes that half oi last year's crop is still in the bands of the planter. There are more buyers in the market than ever before and the shipment of tobacco this winter to other ' markets have been less than ever before. Mr. J. H. Carter, auctioneer at the Banner Warehouse, agrees in the main with what we have quoted irom Messrs. Rollins and Stevens; the Asheville mar ket is decidedly on a boom this winter, and good and satisfactory prices are be ing obtained; less tobacco is being ship ped than ever heretofore, and the indica tions are that the farmers will soon be come satisfied with the Asheville market. His information is that the acreage of tobacco the coming season will bo even larger than heretofore, for while many will plant a less quantity, many others will be tempted to go into the growth of tobacco who have not heretofore-cultivated it. Mr. Carter advises, arid in this we heartily sustain him, that every farmer look to the growth of the necessaries of life first, and then to his tobacco crop plant only just so much iand in tobacco as can be handled without interfering with the necessaries, and then handle the tobacco well; do not ruin the land by growing inferior tobacco, as it will not pay for the trouble.

FEB. 3, 1887 The Work ov tbjs Dxlbgatiosi From BUNOOMBB ON THE QrBSnOH ' OF THE Stock Law, - ." ' ' The delegates appointed by the Stock Law Mass Meeting held in Asheville last Wednesday to visit Raleigh in op position to the Pearson Repeal Sill have all returned. The fol lowing gentlemen compose the committee., who went to Raleigh: Col L M. Hatch; Col. Dave Blackwell, N. Plamadore. Maj. J. G. Martin, John B. Sumner, W. C. Hunter Col. Sol. Hampton, Wm. G. Candler, A. B. Fortune and Dr. H. B. Weaver. They arrived in Raleigh, on Friday, and ap peared before the Senate committee on p.opositions and finances at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Their appearance had attracted some attention, and quite a number of members of the General As sembly atid other spectators yryJTX&fr enu 1D9- senate committee; -present were composed of Messrs. Fields, Chair man, Poa, Carr, v Williampen, C rouse, Terrell, Taylor and Arthur All the Ituncombe delegation were present Senator Fpx, Messrs. Pearson and Welles, and R. M. Furaian were also in attendance. By request of the delegation. Major Martin first addressed the-committee. He had been chosen chairman of the delegation. W. G. Candler was chosen Vice-Chairman, and L. M. Hatch , Sec retary. Mai. Martin spoke at length, present ing a full, clear and able argument on the repeal bill. He said substan tially that the stock law mass meeting represented three-fourths of the real estate of Buncombe county at a low estimate, and was composed of land-owners and others without regard to pa-ty. He cited the fact that the del egation was composed or seven demo crats and three republicans. He entered fully into the reasons against the repeal oi tne stock law. ne summed np tne objections to the bill itself; as to the time for building fences, that it required the farmer to build his fences and make his crop at the same time, which was im practicable; and as to the nnusual, objec tionable and impertinent character of section eight of that bill, which was a gross reflection on the county commis sioners, that it was unconstitutional in that it imposed unusual and excessive punish ment; section nine deprives the In ferior Court of its jurisdiction, and in vests the Solicitor of the 12th Judicial district with the powers and duties of a grand jury. The provisions of the bill are cumbersome and expensiye. Section thirteen is evidently drawn with refer ence to the off-year in politics. Section fourteen he denounced in severe terms, He exposed other bad features of the bill. This was not an original proposition; u received the sanction ot the last Legislature. The people of the six townships where the law of 1885 was made absolute had torn down their fen ces, in good, faith, never supping that any question' could ever IA rtTii- aa to them; and showed the great Nttjastice of the law. as to these townships. He made many other valuable points which our limited space prevents our publishing at this time. W. G. Candler was the next speaker. He made an able and earnest argument in opposition to the Pearson bill. He said substantially that the delegation came as the representatives of a lare and enthusiastic mass meeting of the people of Buncombe, made up of both political parties. He himself was a Republican, but came as a friend of the farmers. There was no politics in this meeting or this delegation; both parties were repres ented, ice meeting naa been gotten up hurriedly, but notwithstanding the short notice the meetingwas large and oi a representative cnaracier. ne naa introduced a stock law bill in the House years ago when he was a member of the Legislature a bill that came within two votes of being passed. He said he was strongly in favor of the stock law; it was demanded by the best interests Of the country; it had become a necessity to the farmers, on account of the growing scar city of timber, and other causes. He objected particularly to the time fixed in the bill lor the re-building of the fences. It would be impracticable for the farm ers to reconstruct their fences by the first of September. T'lis feature in the law would work great, hardship on farmers. both renters and croppers, and be ruin ous to the agricultural interests this year. He-explained the inside of the election last fall; showed how Pearson and Wells were elected by a combination of the Re publicans and the anti-stock law Demo crats; that the county government ques tien had more to do with the result than the stock law; that a large part of the twenty-eight hundred -votes given the anti-stock law ticket was made up of negroes; that the negro vote in the county was about twelve or fourteen hundred, all of which, with few excep tions, supported Pearson and-Wells.' He said the account given in in the Ad vance of the stock law mass sheetine did not give the facts as they existed. Maj. D. A. Blackwell spoke next He said the stock law ' was working Well; people were growing more- and more pleased with it; the farming interests re- quired it; he spoke purely as a farmer; he well understood the needs of the county. The repeal of the law now world work great hardship generally. A great many had complied - with the law, pulling down their fences, and throwing their crops out That it would be impracticable 'to rebuild the fences and make the usual crops between April 1st and September 1st this year. CoL L. M. Hatch then addressed the Committee. He said he lived in the mountains, and knew thoroughly- the operations of the law. The district, he lived in, the Bent Creek- section of Avery's Creek Townshsp, had voted into the Stock Law territory, showing the growing of the sentiment in favor of the law in the heart of the mountains. He showed the value of the stock-law to the people, illustrating this argument by many facts; and asserted that unques tionably the best interests of the people would be subserved by keeping the stock law as it is. He said- to repeal the law now would work great injury to the farmers. He spoke solely from the stand point of a farmer. Mr. R. M.Fcrman made a speech, going over the reasons why the Repeal Bill should be defeated. . Dr. Bascpm Weaver gave an account of the workings ol the law In his township; that to compel the people to rebuild their fences would be ruinous. - Speeches were made by Messrs; Fox, Pearson "and Wells, in support! of the bill. Dorins their remarks they were subjected to a running fire of cross ques tions from tne men,oers oi tne committee and from some of the delegates. Col. Sol Hampton. A. B. Fortune and John B.

Probability of a Gigantic Kail road Combination. New York, Jan. 27. Evidence is accumulating that the recent heavy purchases on Jersey Central, which have imparted such extraordinary strength to that stock, have been made by parties who desire to ob tain control of the property. Every day adds to the probability that the persons seeking control are those who have lately come to the front in Reading and Richmond Termi nal affairs.
