We regret to know that Willie

In speaking ot the annual meet

it should hare been stated, of which

that Messrs. Brown, Arthur and

We mention this to relieve the

Turntables.
Application for patents for im
provements in these essentials of
railroads are numerous. They are
particularly directed to the locks,
the security and stability to the
track when in place, and to the fa
cility in disengaging such lock
when the table is to be turned.
Mr. A. H. Lindsey, of thi city,
has shown us Ihe model cf an in
vention of his, for which he will ap
ply for a patent, which effectually
disposes of most difficulties. The
most striking is the application of
the power that disengages the lock.
rhis is done irom above, easily and
conveniently. We simp.y refer to

Yancey Heard From Wants a
Rail-oad from Asheville,
One of Yancey's most prominent
and energetic citizens writes us that
the people of that county are great
ly interested in the proposed rail
road from Asheville to Cranberry
via BurnsYillo, and are moving in
the matter of holding an election at
an early elate to vote upon a
subscription of $50,000 to such en
terprise. This is the right way to
go about the matter. 1 ancey coun
tp is one of the very beat spots of
earth on this continent, and her
people are energetic and progressive.
and all she and they want to put all
fully abreast of the most prosper
ous is a railroad, and they are will
ing to do their part to get one. Let
our friends in that county unite now
and prepare tor the earliest oppor
tunity which may be presented
them. To v-de a subscription now,
properly guarded as it will, or
should be, would involve no ex
pense to the people uotil they
should get a road, bat it might fa
cilitate arrangements for the getting
to have this much of the prepara
tion made therefor. We live in
strong hopes of seeing that road
from Asheville to liurnsviile and
Cranberry built, and trust it may
not tie very long off.

SoMfcTHIXO NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Two fire alarms during the past ten
days demonstrate two important facts
we haTe a reliable, anjabundant and an
effective water supply; and a fire organ
ization zealous, prompt and energetic;
anu me names ot conflagration very soon
abate before their well directed streams.
But it is also demonstrated that the
operations at a fire are grievously inter
fered with by unauthorized, oMrusive
orders, given by men, in some cases
actually by boys. The efficiency of
management at a fire depends upon a
discipline as rigid, as mercilesi as that
which attends a battle. It is a battle in
fact with the most destructive element
which assails the property and the com
forts of man. Ite assaults can only be
siicces.f'.illy met by systematic attack or
defence. In battle the private soldier
does not presume to give orders. He im
plicitly submits himself to his command
ing officer; none the less should this 6iib
mission be Yielded on a fire. The au
thorized force do their duties manfully
aud loyally. It ia the outside volunteer
force that assume-i the responsibi'ilias of
leadership, and as usual, confuse, mis
lead and possibly bung about irrevocable
mischief. From the very nature of a fire
company it must be invested with plenary-
pewers. It mast go straight to its
work without interference from outiidsc.
It must be the absolute jude of wijat is
proper te be done; and it has the right
to "knock down and drag out." It may
save itself this trouble; and call on the
police to do that work for them But tke
riyht and the duty are clear and impera
tive. The authority is vested by law in
the Chief of the Fire Department. His
power is absolute; all orders "on the
field" come from him, and mu.t be im
plicitly obeyed without appeal. We
wish this fact to be known and recogniz
ed that there is a known, lawful absolute
had of the Fire Department, and that, at
a fire, his power is autocratic, necessarily
so, and brooks no interference. Outsid
ers, geuerally impelled by perfectly good
and laudable intention, must also under
stand tlir.t "too many cooks spoil the
broth;' and while their zeal and services
are desirable and welcomed, they must
be subordinated to the paramount au
thority. IXi-ijnine and obedience to
