Our Haywood friends itport gen erally splendid crops, and pros pects. Huaiiny Valley never looked prettier than yesterday. The crop prospects aro very excellent. Haywood Democrats are making extensive preperations for the recep tion of Judge Fowle at "Wavnesville on the 9 th inst. The reuiar weekly meeting of the city council was beld last night. No business of snecial imi.ortar.ee vro3 transacted. The Asheville delegates to the republican congressional convene tion, returned from Waynesville yefcterday evening. Tobacco breaks at the ware houses yefcterday. The aven.ge was maintained, both as to grade of tobacco and prices. There was not a single negro dele gate to the republican convention at Waynesville. Where, oh, where, arc the colored members of the g o. p. ? The blue-ribbon brigade from Waynesville struck the city yesterdad evening in full force. They are all satisfied with the nomination of Ew art and Rollins. We are informed that the result of the republican convention at Waynesville was the declaration of several heretofore republicans, to vote for Cleveland and Fowie and tax reform. That old ey-sore the old aspen tree, at the northeast corner of the court house has been removed, and the festive English sparrow in that locality will now have to seek else where to twit his little twit. There are over 140 guests at Waynesville Sulphur Springs, and a number at the hotels and board ing houses in the town. A large crowd went out vesterdav. All pleased with the place and the ele gant scenery in particular. A resolution expressive of the tkanks of the Y. M. D. Club, was adopted by that body Thursday evening, in regard to favors ex tended the club by Messrs. Frank Loughran, Smith & Rollins, and Shepherd, Mann & Johnson, during the grand demonstration on the 25th inst. A young lady of St. Louis who has inherited a beautiful suit of red hair, is about to entertain her friends in a novtl manner. None are to partake of her hospitality whose heads cannot show the de sired tinge. Even the attendants are to be of the red-headed order, and carriages drawn bv white horses will fee at the service of the guests. The colored members of the re publican party are good enough to vote for the party, all white candi dates, but they will not be permitted to take part in the proceedings, nor hold any of the offices. Like the In dian and the white man, the white re publican and the negro have made a trade, in -which the white brother takes all the turkey, and the colored brother all the buzzard.

Call early and examine. - ' Law's, opposite the post officer IN BUXCOMBE J AIL, John McMahan Brought to Ashe ville for Safo Keeping, Deputy-sheriff M. H. Morris, of Jackson county, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, bringing- with him, John McMahan, a white man, charged with the mur der of E. Buchanan, also white, near Sylva, on Tuesday night last. McMahan seemed to be very indifferent about the awful crime he had committed, and had but little to say . in connection with the affair, either one way or the other. Buchanan ,lid from j-t o roud Wednes day night, and' public indigna tion ran so high in J ackson that the officers of the law were Com pelled to spirit McMahan away to prevent his being lynched by the infuriated citizens of the county who were aware of the murder. He was brought to this city heav ily manacled and hand-cuffed, and lodged in jail for safe keep ing untu the next terni of Jack son Superior court, when he will be tried for his life before a jury of twelve of his peers. Once be fore has McMahan been on trial in Jackson for murder, as an ac cessory, and he came clar. But this time the vergeance of the law will be wreaked upon him, almost beyond a doubt. He bears a bad name, and the killing of an offensive man, and one against whom he had no grudge, will weigh most heavily against him in the scales of justice. From deputy-sheriff Morris, we learn that three or four days ago, a warrant, charging McMa han with -trespass, had been sworn out before Justice Cagle by a man named Burgess, and placed in the hands of constable Lakey for execution. In the mean time, however, McMahan and Burness had met and made up the differences between them, and it was understood that Burgess was not to prosecute McMahan. Lakey ran up with McMahan, served the warrant upon him, and took him before Justice Cagle for examination. Here McMahan ex plained to the Justice the compro mise made between himself and Burgess, and the Justice said he would dismiss the action upon the payment of costs. At this juncture Burgess came along, and McMahan declared that he would only pay one-half of the cost3. and Burgess must pay the other half. This Bur gess refused to do, and both he and McMahan stated that they were un prepared to pay the costs at that time. Justice Cagle then remarked that be would go into a trial and see what there was in it, anyhow. Bur gees remarked to Constable Lakey that he "was afraid to go on the stand and swear what he knew against McMahan; he had a pistol in his pocket, and he would shoot him." Lakey went towards Mc Mahan, who retreated a few step, and told him to "keep off ; I have no-pistol, and you are not going to search me.', Lakey kept on trying to tate the pistol away lrom Mc Mahan, and after worrying with him sometime without securing th weapon, called to iJuchanan, who was at work near by, to "come and help me take this pistol away from McMahan." Buchanan came, and grabbed McMahan by the left arm, (the same one which Lakey had hold ot.) McMahan then threw his right hand around to his hip pocket, and drawing his revolver, brought it in front of his body and fired it off uader his left arm. The bullet entered Buchanan's leit side, just beneath the nipple and glanced downwards. He reeled, staggered and fell to tho ground, exclaiming as he fell, "he's shot me." Everybody present thenrushed up and secured McMahan, who had thrpwn the pistol away in themeani time. Buchanan was taken into Justice Cagle's house and his wounds immediately attended to. McMahan was taken to Webster and placed in jail, from whence he was brought to this city yesterday after noon. McMahan says that the only hope he has, is in fighting the trial off as long as he can. -The people in Jackson are very indignant over the homicide. A Big Battler. Mr. Locke Craig, who has return ed from a trip to Black Mountain reports killing a rattlesnake the other day. which measured five feet in length and three inches in diameter. It had eigh teen rattles and a button, and was a "whopper." Mr. Craig had the rep tile 6kinned, and presented his snakeship's dress-suit, including the button, to a lady friend at Black Mountain, who will have the same taxidermized, and use it to frighten off tramns and burerlars.

Senator Vance's Beautiful Black Mountain Castle. Nestling among the shrubbery and foliage of the highest peak of Black Mountain is quaint "Gom broon ,H the magnificent summer home of United States Senator Zeb ulon B. Vance. Its location is pic turesque, and its surroundings are magnificent in grandeur inimi table of wejrdild. mountain scen ery. ..; From the "peak upon which the house is built can easily be seen the Craggies, Bull's Head, the pia-nacle-of the Blue Rtdgeand'--many ' ether mountain "peaks, whose names we cannot now recall to mind. Tha purling streams, the sylvan glene, the wild mountain trails and bys paths which environ "Gombroon," all tend to make this chosen spot one of the most beautifully attractive and deliciously delightful summer residences in the mountains of Wes tern North Carolina. No wonder the Senator selected this place from among so many others, to flee from the vexations and cares of active political life; to seek pleasant re tirement and undisturbed ease from the Senatorial ills that sore beset him. "Gombroon" is easily access ible by rail, and all the conven iences that render a suburban country "a thing of beauty and a joy forever," are found there. Ihe house is an elegant structure, roomy, and conveniently arranged. Its interior is finished in native woods, antique oak, walnut, poplar yellow pine and maple predominat ing. The structure is of that style of architecture known as "Queen Anne," and is a splendid testimonial within itself to architectural art. There is nothing lacking; everything for comfort, convenience and beauty is to be found within its four walls, while the exterior presents a most attractive view to the eye of the spectator. The grounds surround ing the building have been laidout in well-Ifept drives, lawns, and grass-plats, with now and then a flower bed, containing rare plants and beautiiul blooms. Outhouses are dotted, here and there, about the place, and the whole presents the appearance of a model residence. The dwelling has recently been furnished throughout with elegant and costly iurniture of the latest styles and patterns, and the carpet ings, rugs, etc., are said to be the fin est texture and design.' Costly paintings, musical - instruments. bric-a-brac adorn the parlors, and reception rooms, and rare china and silver plate are the pride of the house-keeper's heart. The library is filled with many volumes of choice literature of every description, from the solid works 01 the most profound and learned writer to the flippant, airy nothings of the most imaginative and fanciful compiler of fiction. There are many other leatures about ''Gombroon" that might well be incorporated in this article, but we will reserve them for the future, when a more extended and com plete description will be given of the magnificent mountain home of North Carolina's witty, popular, learned and loved junior Senator. Mrs. Vance, the esteemed wife of the Senator, is now at "Gombroon", for the summer, and it is safe to predict that ere long the Washington papers will chronicle the fact that "our Zeb" "has code to North Carolina to rus ticate among the mountains." "Come Out From Among Them, My People." "The Morganton Star is our au thority for the statement that Mr. C. S. Cooper, late of Statesville, now of Asheville, that from this time forth his lot is cast with the great democratic party. We hope that statement is correct, and assuming it to be so, congratulate Mr. Cooper upoa his withdrawal from a dying party, and upon bis connecting him self with one which has its face turned toward the . morning. It is strange, very : strange, that a man like him, who wants no office, who cares nothing about politics except that he wants good goyernment and low taxes, should have remained with the republican party as long as he has." , .

"The tide of summer visitors 13 still flowing in. The city in every respect keeps abreast of the times, and a3 the visiting population de mands more accommodation "and conveniencee, they are found to please even the fastidious. Messrs. Rawls Bros., the proprietors of the Swannanoa, for many years one oi best known houses in the South, say they have never seen so many indications ct South Carolina travel this way nor have they had so many applications lor rooms. No Camp-Meeting This Year. For ten or more years past, it has been the custom of the Protestant Methodists in the Flat Creek section to hold a can)p-meetin at Flat Creek church each year, at the church at that place, commencing on the fourth Monday in August. After much consultation among the leading members of the church and the clergy, it was decided to hold no meeting this year, the reason whereof, wo have been unable to as certain. The Turkey Creek breth ren, however, will bold a meeting this year, commencing on the fourth Sunday in August, and extensive preparations are now ueinar made for the entertainment of the people wno are expected to be in attend dance. Police Report for July. Chief of Police F- N . Waddell in his report for the month of July has the fol lowing showing of the work done by his department: Total number of arrests made. 113: viz: drunk and disorderly, 23; houses of ill fame, 10; disorderly conduct, 20; fighting, 4.1; -gambling, 2; pistol caseR, 7. Total amount of fines collected, $277.85. The Chief remarks that while collections, in the way of lines, have been a little slow for July, the fighting temperat-ire ha3 been kept at a red-hot heat all during the month- Mr. Richmond Pearson. The Statesville Landmark says : "We have it upon the best authority that Richmond Pearson, Esq , of Bun combe, certainly will noc run as an in dependent candidate for Congress in tho mntn district- llie full extent of his influence wi:l he given to the Democratic state ticket with tho exception of one name on it. How much this means for the Democratic party, ia better known in the ninth district than can well be understood elsewhere. Mr. Pearson is a man of rare ability, of singular gifts and graces as a speaker ' before a popular assemblage, and the n ?st popular man in the ninth district. It is not an exaggeration, perhaps, to say that his decision (upon which, by the way, the Landmark congratulates him cordially,) is worth 2,000 to 3,000 votes to our ticket.1' U Mr. Pearson does not "dance to the racket" after this we will "shoot him on the spot." Having a Picnic. CJC From a private note to the Citizen from one of the members ot the Roan mountain party, which. left this city Monday, we reproduce the following : "Cranberry, Aug. 1, 1888.

The Asheville Library. We are pleased to see upon the shelves of the Asheyille Library quite a supply of fresh new novels. In these "dog days" when one's energies are scarcely np to what is called "solid readhia" it is delightful to know we have at hand such a well assorted collection of works of fiction. Among such old favorities as "Faith Garthner's GirlhoodJ' "Old Matn sell's Secrets," "Wives and Daughters," &c We find the recent publications, such as "Paul Patoff," "April Flopes," "Narka, the Nihilist." "Eanerocks," ""Country Lucks," and a number of others. We particularly noticed a pretty little French story called "Cesette" charmingly translated by an accomplish ed townsman of ours. The Library officials bestow such care and pains upon the selection of their books ttiat parents can always feel safe in allowing their young daughters to read any thing placed upon its shelves.

Thev went about this task, therefore, with that degree of hilarious humor which a fellow assumes when going through a grave yard, Mr. Ewart wanted Mr. Rollins for Congressional candi date, and Mr. Rollins insisted on the nomination of Mr. Ewart;. so the convention, to keep up the harmo-n- and good fellowship which teemed to subsist between these two gentlemen, aftf-r several hour3 of private consultation, nominated Mr. Ewart for Congress and Moj. Itoiliri3 tor eiector, and turned them out upon the community, like tho babes in the wood, to weather the j olitical storm as best they may. The democratic birds will scatter leaves upon them in November, end sing a democratic Lymn of triumph over their politi cal remains, just for sweet charity's sake. In looking ovor the crowd who composed the convention we discovered that it was pretty much the same old crowd that used to run thiug3 with a high ban I when the republican party ruled the State and the nation. Ex-district attorney Jjusk, ex-U. S. Commissioner Trull, ex-revenue officers Pritcharii now republican candidate for Lieutenat Governor G. V. Cannon, F. P. Axley, R. O. Patterson, II. S. Har kins, U. S. Commissioner Tweed, of Madison, ex-TJ. S. Commissioner Shook, of Haywood, exiTJ. S. Regis ter in Bankruptcy Ewart, ex-soldier in Kirk's army W. V. Rollins. These were the shining lights of the g. o. p. which met Thursday. The people will not be caught napping when this crowd is moving around. They were tried once in North Car olina, and for a long time in the na tion, and neither want or will have any more of it. The party i3 united, and will spare no effort or hesitate at any method which will enable it to regain power. This unity of our o'lH enemy shonld ail the moro urge our people to special and constant vigilance. There can be no doubt ot the lesult if our people are watchful and determined.
