We desire to add some farther particulars of the deceiised v. hich we had neither time l ur ppice to give in our first notice : Samuel B. Gudger was born in Buncombe count' about the year lhOb. His life was always an active and useful one. He was one of the surveyors who r.;n out and marked West Tennessee in to sections at the time of the removal of the Cher okee Indians. He married Eliza beth Lowery ot dandy Mush, in Buncombe county. She still sur vives him. He always commanded the confidence of his f' l'ow citizens. For many years he was chairman of the Board ol County Commis sioner?, and was also a Justice of the Peace for a Ions; time. He was member of the Southern Metho dist Church, and had been for more than Ao years He was indentified with every hoi. est christian enter prise of his time. He was the fath er of the Hon. J. C. L.

We ought to hare from four to five thousand daily, and ten thousand weekly subscribers in Western Car' olina and East Tennessee. We think the Citizen merits this from this people. Let evfry friend speak a good word for it to his neighbor or friend, and we will soon bare that number. The larger the -circulation of the Daily and Wiexxr Cit izex the more useful we can be to every city, town, township nd county in the section. Do a little talk for us, friends. It will do you, our country and oun elves good. This year 1888 will prove a very "im portant oue to our people, in rnat- teis ettecting their material as wellf as others interests. I he Citizen will not be a laggard in the contest, or in any contest wherein the wel fare and prosperity of our whole people are invol ved. ' Iron Mines. In the next few years we expect to see the splendid beds of iron ores, which exist in such large quantities in Madison and BuncomSe, worked. The Citizen has ni cently alluded to the purchase by a Northwestern syndicate of one of these deposits in Madison, which they will proceed at once to work for all it is worth. There are other very fine deposits which ought to be and will be opened soon. Near Asheville, within three miles, is the magnificent deposit of manganese which experts pronounce very fine. This cannot long remain idle. Fur naces, ovens, etc etc., must follow the opening of these mines, and therefore we say we expect to see within a short while the light from numbers of fires forging the ores into articles ol use in this section. Thete enterprises will beget others. Our magrificent timbers can then be utilized here at home in the manufacture of agricultural imple ments, railroad cars, and thousands of other articles. These will intro ducein our midst a variety of in dustries, giving employment to hundreds and thousands of working people who will haye to depend upon our farmers for supplies. This picture of the early future is an inviting one, but not overdone. Let all our people work together to encourage such development. Progress of Public Schools in Bcncombk County. From information obtained from Superintendent Starnes, we are ena bled to present, succinctly, informa tion that ia satisfactory as to the progress made in educational effort and results within the past four years. Progress is indicated, and that is sat isfactory, though mach is left yet to be done. But it is progress made by the effort and spirit of the people, independent of adventitious aid. Such progress is healthy and perma nent. Mr. Starnes informs us that on Jan. 1 st, 1 884, the apportionment of mon ey to school purposes for Buncombe county was 16,631.50 to 8,842 chil dren, an allowance of 75 cents per capita. The increase in apportion ment, number of children, and per capita allowance gradually increased until January 1st, 1888, the appor tionment was $13,750 to 11,000 chil dren, or$l .25 per capita. When Mr. Starnes entered upon his office, there was scarcely a com fortable school house in the county the title to whieh was vested in the School Committeemen, use being made of churches, store rooms, farm houses, of wherever accommodations could be had. Within the past five years sixty comfortable and commo dious school houses have been built, and six are now under construction. Of those built 4 are of hewn logs, 2 of brick and 54 frame. Several of these are painted and provided with desks and other school furnitnre. The average sa ary of teachers in 1884 was $20 per month. Now the range is from $22.50 to $45 per month. A few, owing to inabi ity to obtain certificates, are paid $15 per month. The average length of school term in the county is 14 weeks. Some few schoo's, aided by private subscription have been kept open 10 months. The Superintendent, in the super vision of the schools, in discharge of other duties appertaining to his office worked 250 days the past year. A Bonanza Mine of health is to be found in Tr. R. V.

We bare no aui h rtMiiora i:J.7nr tnvn concerning Asheville as would cause us- to inun Asheville. in passing, nor prevent ns from taking our products there to market instead of at this particular time shipping to Dmville or elsewhere. Indeed we mourn with you all the loss of yours, and our friends and kinsmen, and pray God that meningitis be stayed. We have sons and daughters among you and we. are not so alarmed as to call them away. We seek and study the official bulletins and announcements and com municate iiy wire and by mail with our friends, and don't listen to "Rumor" Hence we are not so much alarmed. We acLmit that several loved ones have b? en called away from Asheville to their long sleep by meningitis. '"Let the truth be spoken though the Heavens fall," aud thank God that 'tis only a few, and not tne gnat many who have fallen and rejoice that the disease is abating. Concerning the ironv and ridicule thrust at Wavnesville. llendersonville and Hot Springs, we reply a to Waynes vine and in behalf of the tavern keepers here, one of whom I am which that, the first; man whose eyes I ever blackened with my fist, was on account ot ridicule carelessly pitched at me by him. I did it hastily. I have always been sorry for it. Me was my friend meant no harm. I apologized imnediately and we are sti" 'Mends. I do not propose to b"' r f,ien-J's" eves, lie made a -(-'. oiaic. I odIv propose to gently re prove, to change ti.o color which his article has upon "our ' sheet the Citizen and upon our town, country and people. Answering for Wayueeville we have not bad, neither hare we now any meningitis. But the number of long and short new made graves in our ceme tery tell of the sadness in many of our homes in town and country on account of the fever which raged here last Fall, far worse than ever known before, but now happily extinct. We bow in sub mission and permit the "truth though the Heavens fall." Respecting the editor of the Wavnes ville New; since that is in two parts, we can only speak respecting Mr. J. P. Her ren who is at home well,-iind has had no meningitis. Conceruiiig Ihe other part, Mr. Willis, if he has had "meningitis" at all, it is sinee he went to your town several aays ago, ana has not yet returned, but hear he has none. As a "tavern keeper" in Wavnesville I can only conjecture as to the disease which, a friend of all our towns," would suegest we tavern keepers of Waynes ville are afflicted with. He can't allude to drunkenness, for we haveadry town. iieiLiicr tu gossiping lor ne is tne only man who has spoken, nor to an attack of ' rumors," for that disease originated, and i am happy to believe, will cease with himself. Neither can we believe he weuld charce us with havine the "bio triflins," a disease prevalent in Western north Carolina and which makes empty barns, smoke houses, hotels, &c. The energy with which we advertise iu the Citizen and other papers, would con tradict this. My friend, come over to Waynesville and be cured of your "rumors." ( 'Rumors.") and like us learn not only to speak well of Asheville, but to ca'i all of .Jnortli Carolina, and especi ally Western North Carolina Gad favor ed. You do a great harm to Asheville even afflicted as you are. You are in juring the interests of some of my best friends, and dont see it because of jour affliction. Blind "Rumors," come over here and we will not permit you to write anything till you recover from the "Rumors." We are not afraid of the contagion here, but if you remain in Asheville you might impart the ' Rum ors" to Turman, proof as he is. even, to S'.ch malady. Now, der l itizex, please suffer this lengthy article to pass in to print in broad open day ligut via the scrutiny of the man ot the scissors as well as the man with the dextrous "fling" toward the wastebaeket and on through the press room to the people, some trouble, but 'tis only once in a life time we haye to treat a case of the "Rumors." Very truly, A. J. Reeves. Wavnesville, N. C, January 24th, 188S. Not Called For.

Senate: Mr. Vorhees introduced bills for the formation and admission of the state of Montana. Referred. Mr. Hoar called up a motion mad? by Mr. Gorman some time since to reconsider the vote by which the Senate had ordered a special committee of five on the Pacific rail road matters. ' In the full and extended discus sion which followed it appeared that the judiciary committee were quite satisfied to be relieved of the labor of considering the subject and were not at all jealous of the prerog ative or precedent that had attach ed to their having, for several years previous to this one the Pacific railroad's debt under consideration. Neither did the change proposed oc cur to them as being in the nature of a reflection upon them in any way, while its wisdom appealed to their best judgment. These were the opinions of Messrs Edmunds, chairman, Hoar and Vest, while Messrs Coke and George preferred that the matter should continue in charge of the judiciary committee. Other senators also participated "in the discussion. (The resolution was adopted by a vote of 54 yeas, against 15 nays.) Mr. Palmer addressed-the Senate on the subject of the bill introduc ed by him on the 12th inst. to regu late immigration. He disclaimed any intention to prevent any capable, honest, industrious and law-abiding person from seeking a home on American soil. The conviction was growing that the country with its 60,000,000 of population and its fif ty billions dollars of wealth had pjtW.d beyond the need of immigra tion and it was time to go out of the "asylum" business, time to cease to be a dumping ground for vicious de linquent human product of other nations, lire object ol tins bill was to provide for the exclusion of the dependent, delinquent and danger ous classes through an inspection and investigation in their own coun try instead of at the ports of entry, and to efiVct this with the least pos sible hardship or inconvenience to desirable immigrants. House: Mr. Oates. of Alabama, from the committee on judiciary re ported a bill making bills of lad ing conclusive evidence in certain cases. Placed on the calendar. Mr. "Whitthorne, of Tennessee, from the committee on naval affairs reported a bill appropriating $175, 000 for the repair of the United States steamship Hartford. Refer red to committee of the Whole. Mr. Millikin, of Maine, from the committee on public buildings and grounds, reported a bill for the erec tion of a building in Washington for the use of the signal office. Re ferred to committee of the Whole. Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, from the committee on commerce, report ed a Mil to reward Esquimaux na tives for acts of humanity to ship wrecked seamen. Referred to com mittee of the Whole. The house judiciary committee to day unanimously approved, and will report to the house favorably, the substitute for the bill to amend the internal revenue laws introduc ed by Representative Ilendersr :, of North Carolina. In its present shape the biK. abolishes alljruioiimim pens alties for infractions of the revenue laws and confers on the court's dis cretion in the imposition of punish ment within the limit fixed by the statute. It forbids the isue of a warrant in such cases upon infor mation and belief, except upon affi davits made by the collector, or deputy collector, or revenue agent; and with this exception no war rants are to be issued, except upon sworn complaint, setting forth facts as within the personal knowledge of affiant. Ihe payment of fees for warrants ia forbidden, unless there be conviction, or prosecution has been authorized by the United States attorney, cr unless prosecu tion was begun by information or indrctment. The bill makes all warrants returnable before the near est judicial officer, who may make preliminary examinatrons and dis charge, bail or commit to prison the person arrested.
