THE TEMPEKANCE PEOPliB ARE DISSATISFIED, And Will Resort to the ConrU-A Mandamus Snlt Instituted Yesterday. The Citizen has heretofore an nounced the fact that the. board of cojtity commissioners for thiscoun ty, at their regular montMy meet ing, held last Monday, had before them for consideration petitions asking that a i election le held in the city of Asheville the first Mon day in June on the question of li cense or no license, as provided by lay, and the action of the board with reference thereto. The failure of those who trete leaders in the move ment to obtain the election to secure the order, has proven a source of great t-urpri.se and dissatn faction to them, claiming as they do that they had a sufficient num ber ot uams on their petitions to meet the requirements of the law, and that the action of the Board in refusing to call the election was un warranted iu law, and in violation of their rights. From what we learn by conver sation with gentlemen who are ac quainted with the facts, it seems that the principal grievance of the prohibitionists consists in the de clination of the commissioners to consider the petitions presented on Tuesday morning as an addition to the original petition filed Monday. The original petition presented Monday contained in all 472 names, whicn prima fade whs sufficient, but the antis were on hand with their attorney, who proposed to show that many of the names on this petition were not .registered voters in the city, and therefore not entitled to be counted. lo determine this question the commissioners nr -cecded to go over tho list of names and ascertain how many were not registered voters. The result of this court developed the fact that out of the 472 names on the peti tions. 113 of theui were not on the registration hook, which reduced the list to be cui.sideriu iroin az to 359. Tho commissioners then pro ceeded to make an examination of the registration book, and found that it contained all together 1585 names, but 159 of these were strick en out as dead or gone, leaving on the books to be eounted 144b names, one lourtn oi inismimoer is 362. Thus it appears that the prohibitionists had Ai names less than the requisite number to se cure the election. . However, the examination of the registration books on Monday was protracted until a very lute hour in the evening, and the board took a fecesi until Tuesday mon ing at ten o'clock, in the meantime placing the petitions in custody oi their clerk. Tuesday morning when the board convened the counting was resumed with the result above stated. In the meantime, however. the prohibitionists had secured 25 additional namt-s which they pie-- seuted and asked that they be c n sidered Here a lively discussion ensued, participated in by P. A. Cumming8, Esq , for ihe pros, and T. A. Jones, Esq., for the antis. After the discussion the chairman of the board put the question to a vote which resulted in two voting tor admitting new petitioners, and two against. This ieft the deciding vote with the chairman who " voted against she consideration of the new petition, and thus settle.! the matter against the dry men. At- above stated this action ol the board,gave riseto no little dissatisfac tion, and the prohibitionists at once begun consultation with attorneys, seeking some remedy for what they conaioer a violation of their rights aud the spirit ot the law. The re sult oi their consultations 7s the institution of a mandamus suit to compel the commissioners to meet again, consider all the petitions pre- Eented and call the election. The 'writ was issued by W. T. Reynolds, Clerk of the Superior Court, yesterday and was in the name of J. M. Israel et al vs.- .the board of commissioners, and is made returnable before JudgejuMc Rie at Chambers. At what time it will be heard cannot b iscertained unt'l the Judge's return to thi city, wl ich he is expected to do to-day. The plaintiffs are represented by Messrs. uudger anu Carter, P. A. Cummings, J. S. Adams and Jones and Shutord; and the defendants by M. K Carter and 1. A. Jones. Both sides will fight with vigor and zeal, and there is a diversity of opinion among the members of the bar as to the result. At any rate the case will go to the supreme court. - Being Mare Plsnt To the taste, more accer.table to the stomach, and more tru! v beneficial in its action, the famous California liquid fruit remedy, Srup of Figs, is rapidly super seding all others.

It-was about nine o'clock yester days when' representative of the Citizen called at Mr. James Wolfe's market, corner of Patton Avenue and Depot street, and solicited in formation regarding his experience past and pr sent relative to his health. The reporter was received courteously by ..the proprietor, and the oily wing .statement was -made by Mr. Wolfe: I "I am originally from Columbia, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, but for seventeen years prior to aiy coming to Asheville 1 had been liv ing at Ctestline, Ohio. It was in the latter place that I lost my health. J. was yardmaster of a large stock. yaT in Crestline, and wo used to receive, upon an average, about six teen hundred carloads of cattle per week. The cold, damp atmosphere. combined with over-exertion soon rendered me a victim to that terri ble affec'.ion known as asthma. Of course I did not pay much attention to it at first, except to use simple remedies, from which, however, I obtained no beneficial results. The disease gained ground, and I called in medical aid, and out of the t n or fifteen phj-sicians I consulted during my seventeen yean resi-. dence in Ctestline the majority of them pronounced mins a hopeless case. Some of them said I was af flicted with heart disease, others diagnosed tho case as lung troubles, and still others who did not make a complete diagnosis, said that I would never grow any better, it made no difference where I went or by whom I was treated. The true cause of my ailment was asthm.t, which seriously affects the bronchial tube. I suffered terribly, and ceath, at that time, would - have been a sweet relief to -inc. I was reduced in flesh from one hundred and sixty pounds to eights pounds. I had spent hundreds of dollars in medi cines, and going to Sulphur Springs in Ohio and elsewhere, seeking re lief, but fou::d none. It was a. fre quent occurrence that I expecto rated from a gallon to a gallon and a half of accumulation in the bron chial tube per day; 1 wps couching all the tijne, and it was with ex treme difficulty and pain that I could draw my breatn. I made up my mind that if atmosphere had anything to do with effecting a cure Western North Caro ina was the place to find it, and so I came here on October 27th, 1885. When I arrived in Asheville it was all that 1 could Ho to vulk a cross ,i room; my limbs were always cold, av.d the circulation of the blood hatl nearly ceased. I did not take any medi cine, neither did I cuil in medical assistance, but I did employ s. j-tout man to rt my limbs until bu-od circulation began to be easier atd regular. I enhaled all the frt sh air it was possible foraman in my con dition to do, and in one week after this treatment I was able to walk ibout one square. In three weeks I could walk a mile and return, and in two months after uav ariival in your city I walked to the top of Beaucalcher mountain .nd re turned, -vithout the least inconven ience save a lima nara ortauiing. in five months I opened mv pres ent beef market, and having an am bition to succeed I overworked my self, and the consequence ol this. was that 1 was laid up tor aoout one month. Since that time I havt constantly regained flesh and Btrength, and now I feel almost as well as I ever did in my life. 1 feel that I owe it to the atmosphere of Asheville and I most cheerfully give it the credit for tho improvement in my health. "When 1 started trom home, at Cincinnatti, my cousin, Win. Tyler, helped me from the train to the street oars, and took ine to his home in Newport, Ohio. W bile at his place I told him it was no use for me to go to Abbeville; that him self aad the family would only have the trouble of bringing me back home in a baggage car, instead of a sleeper. He insisted upon my go ing let the consequences be what they might Mr. Henry Lindsey, 6f your city, had told Mr. Tyler all about Asheville, and the benefits heh id himself derived from a so journ in the "Land of the Sky" for lung troubles, and stated that I Would surely be benefited- I haye found since that he spoke words of Jruth I feel 1 ke living ones more. Of course I have an iuclinatioa for iny old horn-. Who has not? Bat I know full well that it would be death, for me to return. 1 think now that if I had gone to Pearson's View and staid thieve one year I would have been entirely well now. As I said before, I oannot live at my old home, and I shall not at tempt to return. I will have to bid my old home a long adieu, and I am becoming better satisfied the longer I stay in Asheville. I have found the citizens of your town ex tremely courteous and kind, and I d ou't know that I have ever been treated better nay where. I am cer tainly glad and willing to take hold and aid in the progress ot these people in every effort they in start afoot "ABbeyille be s improved materi ally since I have been here. Prop- erty sella for twice as much at it did then, and prosperity is stamped upon everything. The country is improving in agriculture, and I am surprised that sheep culture has not obtained a larger growth, pecul iarly situated aa you are for the de velopment of this industry. Manu factures are increasing and -you have the finest water-powers I have la -m V ever.seen. lour puouo scnoois apd colleges are improving i j gradf , and in my opinion it will but a few years before they win rank favo-a' bly with the schools and colleges of the North. I am glad to 3ay that your hotels are iqually fb good as any I have ever seen,and as for the beef you have in this moun tain country, it "surpasses all I have ever tasted, and I certainly tink I am entitled,to form and express an opinion, having been in the busi ness ever since. I was six years old "I could tell 3'ou much more. Mr Reporter, but when I get to tilking about Asheville and Western North Carolina my tongue runs away with me, and 1 know not when to stop, But you can tell your readers those who are suffering from bronchial or lung trotibles that Asheville affords the ouly sure cure, in th pure, bracing, healing atmosphere that surrounds and envelopes it.

This is significant. Whistling Dick. Capt. Natt Atkinson received a letter from a Fetleral ex-soldier living in New York making in quiry in regard to a famous gun very eloquent on the confederate side during the siege of Vicks burg. CapiiA. has . vivid recol lection of the great gun, named from the shrill whistle of its dead ly missiles "Whistling Dick." The Federals remembered it also for its accurate aim and deadly effect, and the memory of the gun suggested the inquiry made. A photograph of a gun was enclosed in the letter. Capt. A. says there is one unfamiliar feature in the picture, Federal sohliers have it in charge. When he was ac quainted with it half starved confederates feeding on scanty rations of mule meat, but with courage undaunted stood to the in. The picture Was perhaps taken after it changed hands. Whether the same gun or not, it is clear that "Whistling Dick" has not been forgotten. The dervishes of Tafilet, Morocco, have proclaimed a holy war against the Sultan.

Toms For Senator. - Politics are getting -ftp in Wonderson and the people are wttin excited. There was considerable sensation on the streets over the annomcnuent that Capt. M. C. Toms will permit bis name to go before the Democratic Senatorial Convention of this District fur nomina tion as the Democratic candidate for the office of Senator. This announcement struck the Democracy with asion-'shment . and delight; with astonishment, because they have heretofore been unable to in duce him to offer for any ofllce, and, with delight, beca-ise the opinion is that he is the strongest man iu the pa' ty. lie is a man ot brains, integrity, and dignity, and these qualtities conp'ed with bis great ability for all fein i? of public busi ness, eminently qualify him ta represent our interests in the State Capital. If nominated, and undoubtedly he will be, as Henderson is entitled to the nomina tion this year, he will lead the Democ racy of this District to the greatest;victory ever achieved. He is a man of the peo ple and ia probably hotter qualified lo loo' after their -interests than any man in tho cmnty, and by his fine personal appeara !($, anf social qualities will" retlect great credit ttpon fi entire West. I take great pleasure io thus alluding to this geutleman lit cause :t would hs not an easy matter to sav tx r-.uch in his pnuse, and as tho Democrats of the comity have made up their minds to notniuate him, what I haye said cannot disnaraye the prospects of others. i We omit the portion of rosdent's letter referring t- th of Vcl.ain and the stoien horse, as the Citizen- has already had particulars il the event. Ew Citizen ) ITEMS FOR THE IEerPT.E TO READ. New Goods are coining in daily. and our stock is now almost complete in every line of goods we handle. We opened to-day a line of Men's Patent Leather Shoes in Congress and Bals. at $2.98 per pair, worth 4, stylish and well made. Our stock of Chil dren's School Shoes is probably lar ger than that of any other store in the city not confined exclusively to Shoes, all grades and prices. Our $1 School Shoe is splendid value. Bar red Muslin at 6c. worth 9, a piece of cream and one of pink at 12ic. cheap at 18c. ; a beautiful line of KnHnoe ?n short lengths, 2 lo 10 yards in apiece at the astonishingly low price of 10c. per yard, worth 18c. We have our third supply of Standard Novels at 12c. pei volume, regular 25c. hooks. The handsomest lamp for $1.68 we ever saw under $2.50; a glass fruit stand, very large for 81, only 4 left, but more ordered, extremely cheap. Beautiful Glass Pitchers for 72c. The same has been sold in Asheville for $2. A. larere. lino it. r.locnriin, tl than auction prices. Our" curtain goods, Table Damask, Napkins and Doylies cannot be beaten in price or quality. To Housekeepers we say, elo not fix up your homes for the Snrins and Summer until you learn our prices on all kinds of using things, for dining room, kitchen, bed room and parlor. We guarantee prices to be lower than anywhere else in the city. Our goods are bought in immerse quantities by a concern able to put 40,000 dollars in Straw Hats alone at one purchase. These are sent out to the different, ' Racket Stores" con- ected with No. 4C6 Broadway, and to no others. We put them into the hands of the consumer in many cases (as we shall a part of these Straw Hats as soon as they come) at price? lower than other merchants pay for them. There is no mystery about it; it is perfectly simple the power of ample capital to buy from the auc tions in large lots, and the Agencies established in large towns to distrib ute the goods among the people at a close profit. Nothing sold at cost no credit, spot cash, no bad accounts, goods bought for dollars down and sold the same way. Any other mer chant in Asheville will tell you that this is the only correct way to buy and sell goods if he will lay aside his prejudice. : Come and sea the good? and earn ihe prices. Do you good and save you money. Very respectfully, &c, GEO. T. JONES & CO. N. Y. office, 466 Broadway. Landreth's Garden Seeds at Pelham's. New line Creton' Ginghams.
