Constitution That the Courts Would
Frustrate Evidence in the Measure
Itself That the Fifth Section Was
Not Inserted in Good Faith. I
The regular order of business of -
board of aldermen as suspended last
evening to consider the paving of Hay
wood and Chestnut streets. Dr. Wil
liams appeared for the Hay wood street
property hblders. and said that every
nnpr'tth two except'ons, was ready to
pay for the paying in the five year
installments, and that one holder would
pay all in aavanct.
The chairman of (tihe street committee
recommended that the property own
ers on both the streets, be given two
weeks' notice thalt the paving would
be begun at once on the Street that
would furnish the largest per cent, of
the holders Who will 'Pay the entire
amount when the work is completed.
Dr. Williams urged that' Haywood
street needed the paving more biad'ly
than Chestnut, as ilt is a m'ore traveled
street.
A'ldermen Wood, Dorsett and Wad
dell seemed to favor Haywood street,
as that street is closest to center of
traffic .
A motion was made and carried that
the property holders of the two streets
be asked to state extactly how much
each will pay in cash nex?t Friday ev
ening. The one who does the1 best will
get ithe work first without doubt
The street ccmimittee also recom
mended that the Robbins Paver be
used for -any paving, Aldeirman Wad
del'l, dissenting, preferred the Flether's
repressed brick. They also recommend
ed 'that only a sand and clay founda
tion be put an Chestnut street. .Mr.
Laeley, of the Tennessee Paving Brick
company, was present, and suggested
that the city engineer make a. test' of
the two makes of brick and that the.
best be used. The motion was carried
that when Haywood breet is paved,
the Robbins Paver be used. It was
also decided to use the Robbins Paver
on Chestmut street, if it is paVed.
Dr. Lawrence appeared before the
board, saying his two schools were fur
nished water from their own sources,
and the city water only used when it
is very dry. He satid his schools are
well known and they are in every
sense free schools. That over $43,000
are spent annually, mostly in Asheville,
and all of which comes from outside.
He staid a young" woman has never had
to leave school on account of not being
able to pay her own' expenses. He ask
ed that the privilege of free water be
extendd to supplement their own plant
until another spring is developed, when
dity water will probably not be used.
ThP Hoard has ordered that he pay
only one rate, whereas Other outsiders
are p'aying two rates. The aiaermen j
seemed to feel, as they owe $6,000 for
the steant pump to pump this water,
they ought not to give any water free.
Dr. Lawrence said they Wad spent a
quarter of la million dollar in current
expenses here, and had received noth
ing in return. The board decided that
the matter be deferred until it could
be seen how much water is being used
Frank Carter .appeared on behalf of
the Mlartine who live meair itne ou-ya
quarry, and claimed their property is In

The estimates were read from the Ten

$1.43 to $1.58 per square yard, preparing
all the foundations and laying the tortck
and putting in the joints. The board de
cided that if they pave Haywood and

Major Rollins Called Attention to an
Important Matter.
WiK be a Separate Organization Work
ing in Harmony With the Board of
Trade for he Interests of Asheville.
A meeting of the Asheville .Public
Health and Resort association was
neid an the parlors of the Berkeley ho
tel last evening. In the labsence of
the president, S. Westray Battle, the
vice president, Major RolMns, called
the meeting to order, and explained its
Object to be to obtain a concensus of
opinion on the possibility of the life and
usefulness of the association. In the
course of hlis remarks' Major Roillins
said that every day he received' num.
erous leJtters from the north asking Va
rious questions about Asheville, the
nature of which revealed the fact that
the city was very litMe. advertised in
the north. Secretary Paquin was call
ed upon to read the minutes of the last
meeting. Developments tin the discus
sion that followed showed a strong
leaning toward an organization sepa
rate from the board of trade, as pros
pective affiliation with that body was
evidently a source of emarrassment to
the board of trade.
The following resolution was. offered
and unanimously adopted:
"Be it resolved, That the Asheville
Public Health (and Resort association
continue as 'a separate, distinct and in
dependent organization to work alongi
the lines indicated i" our constitution
and that it is the .sentiment of the
membership that we shall, at laJll times'
and in et'ery way. harmonize wtth
the board of trade or any other associ
ation looking for the good of Asheville
The secret i instructed to notify
the board of trade to that effect."
A tei'ling address was made by the
chairman of the 'advisory committee.
Dr. John Hey Williams, in resp"--se to
Appositer 'suggestions from Colonel R
Bingham, which tended to emphasize.
and illustrate the peculiar usefulness
of the association .
Aft,er remarks by L. P. McLcud, F
F. Grant, A. H. McQullkin and Frank
Loughiran, the (latter offering many val
uable hints and suggestions, the meet
ling adjourned to meet the second Mon
day in November at the parlor of "the
Berkeley hotel, by the courtesy of the
management .
The following niames have been hand--ed.
to the president or secretary, a. -majority
of them having signed the con
stitution after the first meeting only
a couple of weeks ago:
H. F.' Grant, John Hey Wi'lliams,
Caryl FloriO, H. E. Heinitsh, Baxter

Editor of the Gazette:
The people of North Carolina have
lived for more than thirty years In
peace , and happiness, with! Article
Sixth of their state constitution in full
force and effect. -"" This 'article of. the
constitution as the one that governs ,
the citizen's suffrage and eligibility to
office and is the one that the machine
element of the democratic party de
sire to get rid Of by their proposed
constitutional amendment.
Article Six of our present constitu
tion says: "Every male person bona
in the United States and every male
person who has been naturalized, 21
years old and upwards, who shall have
resided in the state 12 months next pre
ceding the election and 90 days in the
county in which he to vote, shall
be deemed an elector" and of course
has the right to vote in all elections
helcf for national, state and county
officers, and cannot be deprived of this
sacf ed right, however poor and humble,
except by conviction or confession in
open courf of some felony.
Universal suffrage was guaranteed
to all our citizens when this constitu
tion was adopted, and our state, when it
wlais readmitted into the union of states,
made and entered into a solemn cove
nant with the government of the
United State- that it would never per
mit its constitutipn to be so altered or
hanged as to restrict or abridge the
right of suffrage as guaranteed by
this Magna Charta of human liberty.
With the fundamental law as it-now
is, tne aemocratic party irom itto io
1894, a period of eighteen years, con
trolled absolutely the government of
this state, and during all that time not
one of them, from the least to the
greatest, ever by word o act, sought to
make the state break its plighted laith
with the federal government. They
lived and acted on the idea that North
Carolina had made an honorable con
tract and agreemembto never in its fu
ture historv do anything or pass any
law that would disfranchise any citi
zen, whether that citizen be an humble
man of color in the rice swamps or cot
ton fields of the east or an unlettered
white man; living in his humble log
cabin with his wife and children amid
the mountains of the west.
Whether m power or out of ptwer,
- democratic party has never until
now boldly sought the absolute de
struction of the liberties of the common
people. ' They have often adopted de
vices which -would temporaily defeat
the -will of the people as expressed act
the ballot box, but they now solemnly
propose .to put imto the constitution
of .this ". state a provision which -they
themselves admit will disfranchise
every negro who cannot read and write
and every white man who becomes 21
years of age after 1908 and -is untable
to read and write.
This proposed! amendment to our.
constitution!, if adopted 15y the people"
at the polls, disfranchises every man
in the state, white and black, rich and
poor alike, who does not pay his poll
tax for the previous year on or before
March 1 of the year in which he pro-
noses to vote, and ait the election he
must produce, his tax receipt before he
can exercise his privileges of a sover
eign. Cruel, cruel blow at the poor,
common man; no difference what his
misfortune, sickness of himself or fam
ily, wjounds received in toattie
fighting for ' his country, . or

The seductive Virginia cheroot
was the overshadowing topic before
tne ever-interesting Criminal circuit
ctouirt yesterday. John and Frank
Avery are colored boys who were in
dicted on a charge of .having stolen a
number of cigars from the store of D
Gross. Yesterday the case was brought
up for hearingi 'blit the point was raised
that the bbys had not stolen cigars;
that D. Gross was only minus a num
ber of cheroots, and that, therefore,
the bill of indictment was as sounding
brass and tinkling cymlbols. S"ni,'-;i-or
Webb made the contention that the
cheroot was the "genus cigar, in fact
he defined the disputed Mnect as the
regulation article "With both ends cut
off, and expressed the opinion, in ef
fect, that the ends of iustice would
be defeated" in a manner greatly to be
regretted should the defendants be re
leased on the cheroot technicality. The
court held otherwise, however, and the
Avery's were released.
A reporttr called the matter to the
attention of one of the salesmen at L.
Blomberg's cigar store last night, and
the cigar man said' that 'Judge Ste
vens was fully justified in his ruling.
If we send to headouarters for ci
gars, he salid, we receive notice that c
certain number of cigars and a cer
tain number of cheroots have been
shipped. The two are distinct, Said
this authority on the weed.
GOLDSMITH CASE.
D. M. Luther yesterday filed a
tition asking for a continuance in the
case Of F. P. Gdldsmlith. The court
wrill make a ruling in the matter to
day. The case is one of the forgery
enlarges which have been made against
Goldsmith. It lis alleged that he forged
the names of different persons on wit
ness tickets. Goldsmith is being de
fendedtby Luiher & Wells and Colonel
y. S. Lusk.
STARNES AND WRIGHT.
T. H. Cobb, of the counsel for
Starnes and Rev. Wright, yesterday
announced that he edfendants were
not ready for trial and moved for a
continuance. Mr. Cobb outlined the
cases. Tom Brown, whose signature
to a deed is alleged to have been forg
ed, was under indictment for murder
here near thirty years ago, but es'
saped and his since been a fugitive
from justice. The testimony of the
Chattanooga officers as to the identity
of the man signing the deed was suf-
lficient to justify a magistrate in bind
ing the defendants over. This, Mr.
o-fr said, shows the utter materiality
of 'having Brown here, "or having his
evidence. Both defendants, Mr. Cobb
expialined,;-had . been south since the
preliminary . hearing, searching for
Brown, but had not found him. It is
believed, however, that he can be found
and he is thought to be now in Cali
Furthermore, Mr. Cobb said, the pre
liminary heading occurred only a week
ago and neither defendants or counsel
have hiaid the time to prepare ior
trial, and he and Mr. Martin had en
gagements in Raleigh that would taite
most of their time next week.

CANNED GOODS ADVANCE.
Caused By War In Transvaal und
Price of Block Tin .,
The onarket despatches to the. Ga
zette, Which are received every after-
noon from Hav- & Sttout, have showed
that he markets have been consider
ably influenced by the war iri the
Transvaal. Prices have risen only
slightly, but have fluctuated a great
deall!.. The apparently small rise as due
no doubt to Nthe getaerally expressed
opinion that the war will be of short
duration.
But the campaign against the Boers
has a more direct influence on the
people of the United States in general.
This 'influence is in the prices of can
ned goods, all kinds of which seem to
be directily, affected. The "packers have
raised prices already, and if the trouble
in South Africa, continues the rise will
be greater. At present the consumer
in small tots does not feel the ad
vanced prices,, for at is only a few cents
on a crate, dhT account of which ' the
retailer ,doee not feel '.-tastafied in mak
ing an advance on each, piece. But to
consumers who buy bv the orate tne
price is higher. Anotherreaisftii ior
the rise in. .canned goods: is the great
increase In the price of block tin . Cur
ed meats are! also' , going skyward,
gently, as packers are selling meats

Ohio. Here the famous Goebel elec
tion law and the unsavory career of
Goebel are the chief issues. Both the
democratic candidates Goebel, the reg
uliar nominee for governor, who secured
his nomination, by fraudulent means,
having only one-fifth the delegates to
the democratic convention, and Brown,
who is called the bolters' candidate
are for the silver 48-cent dollar; hence
they are not discussing the money
question.
The talk about imperialism and
trusts made prominent in Ohio by Mc
Lean is rarely mentioned here. It is
state and personal questions that are
uppermost, and that is why there is so'
much excitemert and threats" of blood
shed. Ex-Senator Blackburn' lets his
flow of coarse and abusive language
loose every time he speaks. The cow
ardly assault made by Goebelites on
ex-GovernOr Brown, the "bolting" dem
ocratic candidate, have led that gen
tleman to refer to some of the Goebel
ites asi "pusillanimous" scoundrels and
brutal and cowardly liars.
These are characteristics of the cam
paign. HiX-secretary arnsie iiaa ex
posed some of the Goebel villainies, and
mow Senator Lindsay has come out in
a u e c lit raj 1 1 u 1 1 agaiuoi. vjjtwc
favor of Brown.
DEMOCRATS AGAINST GOEBEL.
Nearly every day some prominent
democrat comes out against Goebel.
John T. Hodge of Newport, on of Goe
bel's chief lieutenants in 'the state con
vention, has this week resigned as a
member of the state committee ani de
clared it his purpose to vote against
Goebel. Hodge .ays of the G'fbel
crowd: "I want nothing mOTe to do with
hem. No self-respecting man can
longer tolerate them."
On the other hand, a letter from Goe
bel has been unearthed, ia which he
speaks of Hodge as an nnmitigate'i
liar. Judge S ephens Fmor-3 of May
field is out in a signel feV .r addressed
to Blackburn, accusing th .x-sral -r
and Goebel of "bossism, trickery, fraud
and usurpation," and declaring for
Brown. Har4in, who wias the Black
burn deader in the legislature, has re
fused to open his mouth in this-campaign,
and is known to be against Goe
bel. So ilt goes.
Henry Watterson denounced the Goe
bel election law in the Courier-Journal
in these words:
'iThe annals of fros yrqvernment will
be sought in vain for anything ap-nrrarhine-
it in shameless effrontery
