THE MISSION HOSPITAIj. A Delightful Comedy to be Presented for Its Benefit, on "Wednesday Night September 12th. . The Asheville Mission Hospital 13 sorely in need of funds, with which to buy medicines and yarious corn forts for the sick admitted to its wards. The kitcbengarden, a school where poor girls are taught all the housewifely arts, and are so helped to help themselves in their struggles for a living, is like wise m need. A number of ladies and gentle men, interested in both of these worthy charities, having decided to seek aid for them from the Ashe ville public, citizens and strange s alikf, will give a first class comedy in Opera Hall, next Wednesday night, Sep. 12th, "A Lesson; in Love," the play selected, has iio ft doll line in it, and besides it hasv been Jprestnted here berore. It is light and breezy in tone, the scene being laid near the seashore dt. what is supposed to be the lamous resort of " Winkleborough-on-Sands." The characters are a lot of clever people who, through the erratic love-makings of a certain "Mr. Middlemark," with whom marriage is advocation, are thrown into a round of . situa tions, utterly absurd and at vari ance with their supposed real feel ings. Everything pertaining to the cos turning and scenery of the play is in competent bands; and no pains will be spared in securing the proper-f feet The price of admission has been fixed at the low rate of 50cts, with no extra charges lor reserved seats.

The republican organ, the A.-H. says "the people of Buncombe arc ti,o honest to be purchased." This is one truth that paper has told at last; and hence the county will go heavily democratic this 3Tear.

No new developments in the Sumner case could be ascertained at the office of the Pinion Detective Agency yesterday evening. Chief Deaver is hard down at work on the case, and is confident of Sliding the young man. Will the "coon" get a place on the rad ticket to-day? Nay, verily; the g. o. p. isn't built that way. The "coon" must yell and vote, and that is all of his share of radical glory. His white brother scoops in the of fice and the cash. Mr. T. B. Crary, a well-known citizen of Asheville, has returned after some months absence. He has spent much of bis time in Balti more. He says that for- tho first time in many months be has found a good night's rest, ascribable to the climate of Asheville. The Greensboro North State, re publican organ, alludei to those who will vote the republican ticket this year as "scrubs."

S: "Her description cf a U.j.er'.s vu-ioii of the lost soul of Lis brother, a confirmed' drunkard, was moat thrilling, and brought tears to eyes unused to weep." "Mrs. Chapin's record is wosdexfjaL-to many. Her constant journeys in trying to meet the demands upon her time, and fill even a part o' the engagements made for her would have exhausted an ordinary worker long ago. She has under her supervision the fif teen southern States, in eight of which and the District of Columbia shei has viaited during the last four months. Maryland was fortunate to secure even a flying visit from her en route to meet the National Executive committee at Lake Bluff, beyond Chicago, where she is to speak. Since her face has been turn ed northward invitations have pour ed in frocu the north and west. All rejoice that she has refused to give up the temperance work even lor an editorial chair, but a3 she is mortal those who love her have cause to fear nervous prostration from over work, and arc urging her to take a needed rest. We- congratulate Charleston S. C, that can claim such a daughter. We join in tho universal reverence for such unselfish noble life work, and love to remember the record of her golden deeds during the confedera cy. Her praise is on many a lip and her name remembered in many a prayer." At Bay View assembly, Michigan At 2 p. m., another session, was ad dressed by Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin. This was a treat highly appreciated. The southern sister was inteirupted again and again by rounds of ap plause at her bright scintillations of wit. She couldn't talk on anything but temperance, politics were so mixed up she couldn't understand them, thought all tics were horrible, and politics the worst of all. At Lake Bluff, Convocation, 111. "For many years Mrs. Chapin has been the guest of the Lake Bluff Convocation, at the elegant Hotel Irving, and the recipient of the cour tesies and honors that uever fail to attend her presence in any temper ance gathering in the north.. On the closing evening ofthe Convoca tion Miss Willard introduced Hun. James B. Hobbs, late President of the Chicago Board of Trade and candidate for Governor of Illinois, wh" " xj president ol the Lake Bw . ing Association. This gentleiL",., In a handsome speech, deservedly eulogistic of Mr3. Chapin and her work, presented to her one ol the choicest iots on the grounds, upon which Miss Willurd paid a cottage would be built before the next season of the Convocation as a summer home for their sister and guest. Mrs. Chapin i3 the con stant recipient of invitations to-speak atjthe north, ten Statts being now in competition for her services. The Euuajjuskec Romance. In- addition to our statement rela tive to the late Mrs. Bettic Welch, of Cherokee and her early romance, Col.

Today at 12 m., the radical ring ma6lef bf the, Buncombe radical cir cus will crack hisTadical whip in the court house, and the aged clown of the combination will hop in'o the riiir, witli t!. t'r:'y-henrded'xelttm ati-ir; rlhr,. ..a You all kvnw . t:t c ;. you Ii-jv? cen him ilns imif's beforp. n:il his oldciitst nul hWi;t tilt: county' government f-yttem ; the surphiplii.g-iule, ne gro ifciimadalioii, and imiependent tsvi, have caused your ears fo ache each ;;i he Lhs fired them at you dujfio -thess-o - iiiaiiy years. Like Banquo's ghost, Le would "not down,' but kept intruding his ugly phiz into ihe facts of decent people until they, in their desperation, have arisen in their might, and de termined to bury th9 hydra-headed monster forever from their sight in Buncombe. The people are tired of radical i?m,and its pernicious influences, and dissolution and destruction, like the sword of Damocles, hangs threateningly over it. The slender thread will break on the sixth of November, and vengeance will be wreaked upon those who have eought by false doctrines and hypo critical professions, the disgrace" and degradation of North Carolina. Will not the judgment be a righteous one, and will not the people endorse its issuance? We think they will. Tho independent feature of the show to-day, is not a new one to our people. Aged as Methuselah, and as lake as Annanias, it fails to be regarded by honest people, other than it really is a miserable sub terfuge, indulged in and used by those whose only object is to in veigle the unsuspecting into the co bra coils of radicalism. Watch the horizontal bar and flying trapeze artists; the jugglers and acrobats of the "great independ ent circus I day, and see if in them you do not recognize the old-time manipulators of the radical revenue, bull-dozing conventions of the apos tles of radicalism. Watch their de liberations and see if radicalism is not stamped in plain letters upon their every action. See who the candidates are, and what they have been all of their liyes. Watch for the independents, my son, and whensjyxi catch one, yon will Jiave 'struck aTbouaiiza in the dime mu seum business. See if every inde pendent who takes part and parcel in this radical convention, has not been a radical, and is Dot now a radical. See if he does cot wear the Dockeiy collar and the Blaine badge. And then, watch the men who do most ot the talking in meeting, and if they are not all straightout, regulation, all-wool-and ayard-wido radicals, we con fess that we are no judge. But of all the actors in this farce, watch the negro monkey," the ring tail "coon" of the great radical me? cagerie. See how obediently he will open his capacious mouth, and show his molars, when the time comes to "cheer" the nonsensical utterances of bis white brother. See how numerously he is represented among the "saviours of the State," and observe with a powerful field glass what he receives from his white master as a compensation for his yote and influence. Will he be placed on the ticket with his whit1 chums? Npt much. It is not exactly the right change of the moon. -for' a tregro to get a nomination, and the riht change ne'ver will come to the ebony toilers irrthe radical vineyard, wh nominate the ticket and then work so hard to elect it. The white rad ial takes all the honors, if honors they be, and the black radical re- reives all the cursing, and takes it" as meekly as if he were a Moses. The "black guard" always came up at the radical Waterloo,and it is thier fidelity to the party that has gained for it all its vic'ories. Their reward is a kick and a cuff, with a sprink ling of promises that are never kept. The negro is a fool that he does not insist Vipoii hi? right to share the offices w:ti: 1.:- white brother. By every re.ts-i.V kn vn to justice and equity ht is t .aded to rerre.se a a tioti. upon the tick-, aid why he does not Fssrt his rights, an l -'L-tain what justly belongs to him, we confess we are at a loss to under stand. His while brother, however, bulldozes him out of the idea of claiming, by right, what is his own, and the "brother in black" submits to being swindled aud humbugged without a murmur. He goes to all the conventions, and ho snouts, and fyells, and furnishes his share of the general pandemonium, but he doesn't get any office. A great friend to the negro is the radical party of North Carolina I Now, in all justice and right, the radicals should put a negro on the ticket to-day, as a recognition of bis seryices, and thus strengthen the alliance ot the white and the black and show an appreciation of those services, past and present, which have given the radical party in this Slate all that they have obtained. Give the negro a show. He deserves it and he should receive it at the hands of those whom he has pulled out of the political mire on sev eral '. occasions. Will they do it? We answer. No I -; But don't forget to catch an tndtf pendent if you see one loose. . ' He will be a ,cwonder," and no mistake. - lie won't get a nomination and you can safely bet your boodle on that. - Go to the circus it is worth the money, every time. ' The ring master will again crack his whip; the monkey will say, "Ah then-, my complexion," and encir cle.lhe" circumference with the same alacrity t.hs-t has ever characterized his obedience in the past. Catch an independent if you can! POSTPONED, The Speaking Which Was to Have Taken Place at the Junction To-night. Tho following letter from pres ident Win. E.

Swannanoa Dem. Club. Sept. 7th, 1888. CAPT. M. C. TOMS " Democratic Candidate for Senator of the 41st District. Capt. Toms was born in the valley of Cane Creek in Buncombe county in 1843 where he resided on the farm of his father till he was about fifteen years of age. His life up to tHa time was employed in pursuits similar to those of the other boys of his neighborhood. He worked on the farm during nine months of the year and attended an old field school dur ing the remainding three months, but as manhood began to approach, he was placed in that excellent, even famous school of by-gone days main tained through many years as the Reems Creek High School. While there his progress was such that he became the favorite of teachers and school-mates. Upon th breaking out of the war, he had just made arrangements to enter College, but he, like many of his school-mates, shouldered his mus ket in defense of his country, and while yet in his teens his spul was fired by tke boom of cannon and musketry, which at that time ban ished f rotn the midstof all our "citi zens thoughts of peaceful employ ments, and like his fellow citizens, young Toms dismissed business and pleasure and threw himself into the straggle with all the impetuosity wkich patriotism and youthful ardor can inspire. He entered the Confederate ser vice in 1861," enlisting in the Bun combe Rifles, Gen. D. II. Hill's old regiment, and did valiant service till the end of six months for which he had enlisted. His time expired while the army was at Yorktown, Va., and the regiment was disbanded at Rich mond. Capt. Toms returned home on a visit to his parents and at once joined the 60th North Carolina regi ment and from that time to the day of surrender he was constantly en gaged. He was, present at and par ticipated in the battles of Murfrees boro, Jackson, Miss., and Chica mauga. He was with Jackson in all the hard-fought battles between Missionary "Ridge and Atlanta. He was conspicious for his bravery in the engagements at Jonesbore, Frank lin, Columbia, and Nashville, Tenn., Columbia, S. C , and Bentonsville, N. C. He was slightly wounded four times, but was never disabled so that he could not remain at his post. He returned home at the end of the war almost penniless, but not diseart ened. " , In 1867, he located in Henderson ville, where he engaged in business and afterwards with Col. V. Riply, one of the oldest and most successful merchants in Western North Caroli na, and at the latter gentleman's death, he Succeeded to a fine business which by his executive ability and fine financiering, he ha not only kept up the eld standard ;ut has actually-increased in many i.'ld. This has been done by a total" absence of anything akin to oppressiveness, as the p8or of Henderson county- have always found in him a staunch friemt. who would always devi-e ways and means to keep them in the necesia ries of life while the crops, werti grow ing. . Capt. Toms ia Mow in the posses sion of an ample fortune, enjoys the confluence of both his political asso ciates and opponents, and if elected, which is a foregone conclusion, he will make us a Senator capable of accomplishing vast and lasting goocl Ufor the people of this district.

A Splendid Jjodge of this Benevolent and Fraternal Organization Es tablished In this -City. v ; Past Deputy Grand Master Work man Arthur F." Murphy, organised Asheville Lodge No. z, of the An cient O'-der of United Workmen, Thursday tveniiig at eight o'clock. Mr. Murphy has lueen laboriously at work during his tiy here in the cause, which lie so magnificently represent, and we are glad to an nounce that his efforts have hetn crowned with phenomenal success. The Order is an ng the best in the known world to-day, snd its fratei nkl and benevolent features are un surpassed. The Order is a safe one. and the best ir.on of America rry uatlV lending- tneir innuence ana time to - promulgate its principles and blessings, r Tho beneficiary branch of the Order is a most dis irablc one, and cannot possibly be improved on, and an insurance of two thousand dollars' upon each member's life, is guaranteed by the payment ol not more than twenty four assessments, of one dollar each, per year. Besides this, its mem bers are provided for in sickness or distress, and at death, the policy is paid to those for whom it was written for. It is a great Order, and one that deserves to and will suc ceed by reason of its fairness, hon estly and the noble principles upon which it is founded. Every man who can, should ally himself wih this Order at once. It gives to him what no insurance companyjor other beneficiary organization can give absolutely safe insurance at a very small cast. The Lodge here is com posed ot some of our best people, who we know would not lend their names or influence to a scheme that was dishonest, unsafe, or un fair. The A. O. U. W., is the Order for the poor man, the rich man, the workingman, the farmer, mechanic to join. He has no enormous poli ces to pay out year after year neither does he run the risk of losing both premium and policy by the sudden collapse of wild cat insurance com panies. There are fifty-seven membe-s of Asheville Lodge, who have been initiated, besides quite a number of other applicants whose examina tions have not yet been returned approved by the Supreme Medical Examiner. It is a live lodge, com posed otgood material, and will do much good in our city. Of course, it haa some enemies, but they will not in the least deter the rapid growth of the lodge here. .
