C- INTERESTING READING MAT TER ON FOURTH PAGE. The spring-like weather yesterday was the subject of general comment. - A regular meeting of Mt. Ilermon Lodge F. A. M. to-n?ght. A fall at tendance desired. Dr. Neilsou,the new pastor of the Baptist Churcb, has been warmly welcomed by his many friends here. The trains from the east "have been several hourslate forthe past two nights, depriving ns of the latest legislative news. The Iamb-like cry of the medicine man fetill nightly haunts the public Equarc. Where, oh ! where, are the dy namiters? The many friends of Mr. J. S. LeFevre are glad to gee him on the streets again. He has been confined to his room by indisposition. Capt. A. B. Fortune has moved into Asheville, having occupied his residence on the corner of College and White Oak streets. We welcome him to Asheville. An amendment to the city charter to enable the authorities to make proper sidewalks and streets was found, necessary, of course the Legis lature will grant such a charter. The Rev. George Smnrney, ofSum ter, S. C, has been on a visit for the paBt two days to his father Mr. A, T. Summey, of this place. The Rev. Mr. Summey's fiierrda are al. ways pleadec to see hiiii here. Taris statisticians compute that the rat population of that city amounts to 2,500,000. A rat census in Abbeville would show not only a greater r.uinber of rats to the square yard, but a greater degree of rat enterprise. Vve want a large and better select ed Public Library in Asheville. It will pay, if the books are of the right sort, and le properly conduc ted. Our present excellent Library will make a good nucleus. Here is a good opportunity for our rich men to show their public spirit. In placing the electric lights on Depot street we notice the pole has been placed between the bridge and the bend of the street leading to the depot. We would advise the powers that to place the light at the bend it will accomplish a double purpose, give light towards the depot as well as towards the bridge. The lights between the depot and Asheville are of much moment, as at present two- thirds of the travel is at night. A public discussion will take place at the i:ew schoolbousc at Leicester on the 10th inst., beginning at 1 p. m. The subji ct to be discu3sed.is, "That there are more wonders, curiosities and attractions to man in the arts of man than there are in nature, with all her laws and works." The disputants will be C. F. Gilbert in the affirmative and Jas. L. Crook in the negative, with Messrs. Sol. Hampton, O. R. Jones and T. N. Hawkins as iudees. The public generally invited to attend. February comes ' in more like April or May. It i3 too previous, too warm and close. The north west blizzard has not been felt here. It 53 a warm, south wind before which the clouds are scudding. We are discounting on spring weather for 60 days. What this advance will cost time alone will disclose. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. The Pennsylvania railroad has put on sale round trip Thomasville tickets at the same rates and at the same poin's at which Jacksonville excursion tickets are sold. The At lantic Coast Line will furnish de scriptive pamphlets. Is it not time the new management of the Richt mond and Danville should have out their descriptive pamphlets with excursion rates to and from Ashe' ville for tne summer.

THE RAILROAD COMMIS SION BILL CONSIDERED: IN THE HOUSE. THE COUNTY GOVERN MENT QUESTION FAILS IN THE HOUSE. . special Dispatch to the Citizes . Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 3. In the Senate the only bills of interest introduced was to incorporate the States ville and Western Railway Company. All of the session was consumed in the debate on the bill to create a Bureau of Labor etatistics.JIt was finally by a strict party vota of 24 -i& refer red --to Jthe Committee oh Agriculture' - - The following were principal Bills in troduced in the House : To establish the county of King, to establish the county of Richland, to establish the North Caro lina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Ai ts, to allow the South Atlantic and Northwestern Railway five hundred convicts at 5125 each per year, to incor porate the Selma, "Winston & Dan River R. R. Co. " - The House took up cn second reading the bill to cieate a Railway Commission. After a scattering debate Mr. Ewart called the previous question. The House voted down by a vote of 38 to 69 Mr. Pritchard's amendment to leave the se lection of a commissioner to the people, and then voted on the bill. The vote was as amended 5G ayes to 55 nays, amid much excitement. The House next took up on 3rd reading the bill to repeal the county government. Yea and nay vote was quickly taken. The previous question having been de manded the result was a tie, vote 55 to 55. Speaker Webster voted against the bill, so it was defeated. Such cheering as greeted his vote was never heard be fore in .the Capitol. The Republicans were violently incensed. Mr. York said he was told by outsiders that an error had been made in the count of the vote on the County Gov: ernment. The vote was read over, and it was discovered that there was an error, and that the right count was 50 to 50. Speaker Webster had had Jiis name called as a member from Rockingham when the vote was first taken. - As soon as the tie was announced he voted as Speaker and broke the tie. " Mr: Yorkappci Jed to the House agiinst tho Speaker's right to tiia vote, but the House sustained the Speak. er. The affair creates an unprecedented stir here. There are varying views as to Mr. Webster's richt to vote as a member and as Speaker. The matter will come up again tmorrow. The Railroad Comraieaon bill on the third reading was made a ppeual order for next Wednesday. Sales of Tobacco. We get the following facts from Mr. E. I.

The Messrs! Ballard Bros., of this city, yesterday received a telegram from their brother Mr. F. J. Ballard, of St. Augustine, Fla., a gentleman who has spent the last half dozen summers in Asheville stating that on Thursday night the safe of his store was opened and robbed of some $4,000 worth of jewelry, be sides a number of valuable papers. There was no clue to the robbers. Hk Does Not Intend to Move. Some time in December Mr E. C. Lin- wood, who is now running tho Variety Market on South Muia st. cet, had a lot of handbills printed to the effect that he would, at that time, open a meat markt at the stand of tho Asheville Music House, opposite Public Square, but in stead opened at tuis present stand, where he intends to remain. Durine the last two days some one had, to his disadvantage, had these bills distributed throughout the town. Mr. JLinwood wishes his friend and. patrons to under stand that he can at all times be found at his stand on South Main street, not withstanding the enorts of some one to thus damage his present business.

The following sent us by a gentleman who knows whereof he speaks gives the information that we have the delightful Mormon in our midst : Afessrs. Editors : The Mormon '"Saints" are extending their mission work into Buncombe. The Legislature should at once pass a stringent anti-Mormon' law. If this is not done the good and wise people of this mountain country may give these saintly missionaries a few doses of "hickory twist." The innocent and illiterate people of our country should at least be protected from such outrages as are perpetrated upon them by these Mormon tramps. Let every body read the article below. J. F. A. Weaverville, N. C, Jan. 28, 1887. The M9TtzciA isttheSocTh. Nothln can better illustr.-vce the persistence of tne Mormons in their denance of the law and pub'.ic sentiment and morality than their proselyting campaign in the South. They have, for many years past, conducted their operations in the Eastern portion of Tennessee, and the neighbor ing States, with Chattanooga as their cen ter, l hese operations were confined to the more ignorant inhabitants of the mountains; and so secretly conducted that little was known of them, even among the people of the neighborhood, until the spring time, when several hun dred converts, mainly voane women for the Utah harems gathered at Chat- tanooga, and were shipped to salt laxe City. An investigation made bv Kate Field and others of the Southern immigrants in Utah showed them to be in a state of great poverty, and often absolute suffer ing; but held in subjection as they were by the Mormon Church and surrounded hy Mormon spies, they were nnable to get away, and affraid even to complain. the active spirit in which proselyting was carried on cxeited the people of the districts from which "the Sainla" secured most of theirrecruits, and active measures were inaugurated against them. The whipping of several Mormon elders in Georgia first called attention to the mag nitude ot this evil; the Legislature of that State took notice of it, and a bill was passed aimed at the prevention Mormon ism with its accompaniment of polygamy. ihe contest has latterly been transfer red to Tennessee, where the Saints, un der Elder Morgan, have been unusually active. A ' couple of years ago a riot broke out in Lewis county in consequ ence of the presence of Mormon mission aries there, in which two elders were tolled. The legislature, recognizing the danger, passed a law making it a felony to preach the doctrine of polygamy. J. he law. it seems, the missionaries have been able to get around, and they have conducted their ope rations in Ten nessee of late as vigorously as ever. The Legislature recognizes the necessity or some more stringent measure directed againstth Mormon than that sow on the statute book, and is preparing to leg islate again against the Saints. The new bill before the Tennessee Legislature makes it unlawful for any peison to teach or promulgate any polygamous doctrines publicly or privately, or to Dnng into the State anv books or pamphlet advocating the same, the penalty for a violation of tae law dcihx unpriBuuiucuii ui sue peni tentiary. JNo Southern state can allow itself to become the field for operations for the Mormon missionaries, and Tennessee is acting wisely in taking steps to prevent their decei vmg its people ana taung them away to lives of infamy and suffering in Utah.

Dr. Nelson will take charge of his new field of labor on Sunday. We again give Dr. Nelson a hearty welcome to Asheville, and express the belief that he wiltprove of great benefit here to the cause of Christ. Tho Raleigh Biblical Recorder says of Dr. Nelson's departure from that place : Rev. Dr. W. A. Nelson preached his farewe.ll sermon as pastor of the Second Baptist church, Raleigh, on Sunday last, to a large and sad congregation and left on Monday evening for his future h?me in Asheville. During the two years oi Dr. Nelson's labors in this city he made for himself a host of friends and bound himself to the Baptists of hia immediate charge by strong ties. He is a good preacner,amoat active and successful pastor and an alert, active worker. Few men can do more hard work in the pas torate than he does and still fewer can do this with leas seeming labor. He is aevoiea to nis calling; ready-always to do his full dutv and then help and direct those who labor with him. His labors in this citv have been Great ly blessed. Besides adding 190 to the membership of his charge, he has devel oped his church in every department ol Christian work and benevolence. They are a liberal, progressive band of active workers for the Master, and part with their loved pastor and leader with sorrow. Asheville and the First Baptist church where his lot in divine providence has been cast, are worthy of the man they have called to live and labor among them. Asheville is virtually the capital of Western North Carolina, a city destin ed to become at no distant day one of the largest and most imnnrtant. in the 8tate. Its enterprising citizens have fairly won the success their citv has attained, and even greater triumphs are m waiting ior tnem. The First church is a devoted, united band of Pious, earnest Christiana nf the old fashioned sort, deeply in earnest and ready for every good work. In Dr. Nelson they will find a leader and preacher after their own heart, and one they will delight to follow. Added to all thie, the 25,000 Baptists beyond the mountains need just such a man as Dr. Nelson to go before them in the vast and important work before them. Their churches and their institutions are but partially established. This 13 the for mative age of all the Baptist institutions of the West. Dr. Nelson's large exper ience in Nashville and Raleigh will fit kim for the work needed in hia new field. For these reasons, while we regret his departure from Raleigh we rejoice at his settlement in Asheville. The Lord leads his people.
