Inspector-General Francis H. Cameron, N. C. S. G., will proba bly inspect the Asheville Light Infantry to-morrow night. This company is the only one in the State Guard that has not been in spected. The uniforms have been received and now lie in the ex press office for the want of a few funds with which to pay the man ufacturer of the same. Without these uniforms the company dan not be inspected. " This is a set tled and irrevocable decision. A committee was out among the cit zens yesterday soliciting neces sary funds, but the amount col lected was almost totally , insuffi cient. This is a shame and dis grace to the city. Help the boys out ; and help them to-day. If not inspected to-morrow . night, the company will -be disbanded, and the guns and equipments re turned to the ordnance officer at Raleigh. Will the citizens of Asheville submit to this disgrace? We shall see. ; - , ' WarncsviUs Courier. '. Official paper of . Haywood county, N. C. A live Democratic Home Journal.

C, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE zi 1888 THE TELEPHONE QUESTION. Shall Asheville be Burdened With a Monopoly or Not. ? For the information" of the Sun only," we state the Citizen ba3 not, is not, and will not be at all uneasy regarding the introduction of a gi gantic , monopolistic enterprise (?) into the city of Asbeville in the shape of the. Southern Bell Tele phone Company, In our opinion the city has wot "fully made up its mind that art exchange will be cs Ubli8rved here " without, interrupi tion." The soft soaping process in dulged jn by our cotemporary re gar,'ilftg the I033 of the local cora- pany which would accrue tthem by the introduction of the fll sys tem is entirely too thin and doss ' no' in lire least, in eethts end-which it was intended to meet, If the Sun is in sympathy with the local organization, we do not see how it can advocate ' a service that is so much higher in its charges for the same service performed. And again, the Sun speaks without reason, when it states "that the city has fully made up its mind, etc." The city knows nothing at all about it except what the newspapers have reported in the matter, aud they have not said much because there has not been much to 3ay. Maj. Martin has asked lor the franchise for five years. The . Southern Bell company has been monkeying off and on aboat the establishment of au exchange in Asheville ever since the suit in the supreme court of the United States wa3 decided in its favor. They first wanted S64 per year for the use of their 'phones; then they dropped to $48 per an num, and with considerable conde scension, stated that the exchange would be run upon this tiasis for the first year, provided enough subscrib ers were secured to establish the same. The proposition of the Bell com pany as we understand it now is that for the first three" years, the. rates shall bo $46 per. annum for business men, and $36 per annum for private residences. Nothing was said about an increase in rates, and nothing was said about the St. Louis and Kansas episode in the " history of the Bell telephone company. Nothing is said about bow ). the people of Kansas and St. Louis refused to submit to the exorbitant tariff charged them by this monopoly, and how, when they talked about es tablishing laws regulating these charges, the telephone service was disc&uuufd;&iLonc,e. A veryheue ficient enterprise would this" be if conducted upon the same principles as those by which it was conducted in St. Louis and Kansas ! And yet, theStmis in favor of supporting such an institution ? Again, the establishment of a par tial system of thirty, or forty, or fift3' 'phones in the city, will afford very little convenience to the busi ness men of the city. Thf-y are sureiy not going to pay S46 per year for what can be furnished for $25. Why, it would be infinitely cheaper, and almost .as satisfactory, for a business man to keep his horse standing at his store door, and de liyer his message in person. The local telephone company of Asheville has about $5,000 in vested in this enterprise ; it is all home capital ; it is a home enter prise and they can get and xcill get a telephone system' that is as good and reliable 3 the Bell system, and place it in the city provided the city council will give them the fran chise. The home company will give way to the Bell com pan y, pro vided the latter will pay them a fair price for their wires. Sometime ago the local company made an ap plication to the Southern Bell com pany, for the rental of a sufficient number of transmitters and re ceivers. Nothing ha3 been heard of tbi3 application, although the South ern Bell company promised ti forward the same to the American Bell Co., who h.is the final decis ion in such matters. By the use o: these transmitters and receivers the home company can and will furnish a cheaper service than the Bell cojapany can furnish. These are fact', and they cannot be de lier1; and if the local system' is permittee, to be gobbled up by the Bell com pany, we are fearful for the estab lishment of home enterprises in . Asheville for the future. We are against a monopoly, and believe in the maintenance and support of lo cal . enterprises, backed by local capital, and -established for local good, every time. . We earnestly hope and believe that the Board of Aldermen of the city of Asheville will stand by Asheville and her en terprises, the Southern Bell Tele phone company and its cohorts to tl.e contrary, however. . Isbell's Memorandum Calendar..' The inventor of the above, Mr. A. H. Isbell, now of Asheville, has received from the Patent Office all the papers needed to ' secure his exclusive rights in, and con trol of, this useful invention, and it is now fairly before the public.

Davison will return to tbe city next week, and work on the street railway will be tesumed at once and rapidly carried forward to completion. The greater part of the real work on the road has been completed, and all that now re mains to be done is the track-laying au i location ot machinery in this city. The Sisters of Mercy. Five Sisters of our Lady of Mercy from Hickory, N. C, arrived in the city on the afternoon train froni the east yesterday. They were in charge of Sister Mary Baptist, directreis of of tho proposed academy here, and were imtuediately driven to their handsome property on FrenchBroad Avenue, lately ownel by Capt. M. E. Carter. Their removal to this city was brought about by Bishop Northrop, of South Carolina, and glad we are to welcome this holy community among us. They will begin their school in September and in addition - to , the select school for young ladies, will also conduct a parochial school. Limited space precludes a luller notice of this charitable, benevolent, pious and high class educational fraternity in our midst, but we shall speak at length of tbe Sisters of Mercy, their objects, and aims in a futureissue. .ilipIeMai Service for Asheville. As heretofore announced the au thorities of the Western N. C. Rail . road will place a double daily service on their road between Salisbury, Asheville and Knoxville, beginning next Sunday, the new special reach ing Asheville about 7 a. m. It will be luxuriously fitted up througkout, with elegant sleepers and parlor cars, and will prove of great convenience to those seeking comfort in the moun tains. The authorities of our Western Road are certainly doing all they can both to facilitate Jtravel and give to it all the comfort modern improve ments can suggest. The opportuni ty to be offered by their double daily service from ..the east offers induce ments for a double daily mail service, and we are pleased to learn that Hon. Thomas D. Johnston and Capt. Mc Loud called on the authorities Mon day in the interest of this service, with very encouraging assurances of success. We hope that the double mail will be ordered on with the ad vent of the new train service, and Messrs. Johnston and McLoud will be entitled to the thanks of our com munity for their prompt action in the matter. M. C. Toms. The unanimity with which the democracy of the 41st district nominated Capt. M.

The North Carolina delegation also stuck to its negro allies by choosing J. C. Dancy, negro, secre tary, and J. H.

It was lull of good, sound, particular thought, and vas embelished by some of the easiest, most graceful, most beau tiful, flights of eloquent fancy we have ever heard, v For an hour and a half the orator held his audience.

The Indiaiia Pharmacist prcdictcs it upon the following theory, whicn has been advanced by others: The weather seems to run in cycles of about seven years, that is when we have a hot summers, it is always followed by a cold one, aud it takes about seven years to reach another one equally hot. It will be remembered by many that the summer of 1867 was very hot, and so dry during August the grass crumbled under the feet when trod upon. The summer of 1868 was noted for its coolness, the ther mometer very seldom getting above 85 degrees and we did not reach the top wave of thermality again until 1S74, when it was extremely hot. The following summer was cold to a remarkable degree. From then until 18S1, which was excessively hot and very dry, no rain falling for over nine weeks, and there were more sunstrokes that summer than there have been in all the summers since. The summer of 1SS2 was quite cold, a few flakes of snow fell on the morning of July 4, followed by hail in the afternoon, and during the rest of the month and through the month of August the tempera ture was sojlow that overcoats were necessary for comfort, particularly at night. The summers since 1882 have grown warmer and warmer, and last summer was a moderately hot one, but unless all signs fail, the following summer will be the climax of the cycle, and a hot, dry season may be expected. So far this spring the signs have been against the theory here advanced, but possibly the coolness of the spring may be succeeded by a regular old scorch ing summer whose temperature will rival sheol for hotness. "It is a condition, nota theory, that confronts us," said MrCleveland. That condition is an oppressive and un necessary system of taxation, result ing in a dangerously accumulating surplus in the Treasury. That con dition demands tariff reform. The demand for tariff reform, there fore, is the great issue. Bnthlen's Arnica Salve.
