The pamphlet contains brief discriptions and many illustra tions showing the improvements made in village streets, along railroads, etc., by the National League of Improve ment associations. These improve ment associations undertake the plant ing of trees along highways, clearing away unsightly rutbish, making flower gardens around railway stations, beau tifying' parks and squares and other work which adds to the appearance of town and country. Much has been ac cjmiplished by these associations in va rious parts of the country not only to add to the attractiveness of localities but to property value in these places. Attractiveness of appearance undoulbt edly is a strong factor in the desirabil ity of both town and country consid ered as a place oj! either permanent or temporary residence. OOO FREEDOM IN POLITICS Our well esteemed friend the Win ston Republican "came back" at the lazette last -week in a way that left us speechless for the time. We had defended our approval of the with drawal of the prosecution of the in dicted democratic registrars on the ground that there was to be a new era in politics, and that living in a "civil ized portion of the state" we looked hopefully to the future and were will ing that the dead past should rest qui etly in its unsavory grave. .The Re publican quoted our remark that "there may remain some counties in which a man will be the victim1 of hoodlum democratic ruffianism for dar ing to vote as he prays, (but in many ethers the manifestation of that con temptible spirit of Intolerance will meet its reward In defeating the end for which it aims;" then the Republi can took up an issue of the Gazette of a few days later and quoted some of our eomplaintts of the partisan atti tude of some of the democratic regls- lia,sm w ny acting uiwer tuiwuuu of the democratic executive committee. We felt that any reply that we could J 11.1. .u l! J - J, II ' then make would not contribute to a satisfactory elucidation of our position of defense of the new political era. We however, saved up the little para graph from the Winston Republican with the firm conviction that we could use it after the election to which it re fers had passed: . "We are anxiously watching the Asheville election to see what reward will be meeted out to these city regis trars. We presume the Citizens' ticket ls a good one and is as the name Im ports a - representative non-partisan ticket, but we predict that the machine will destroy it just as it did Jule Carr and we would ask In this connection, 'what are you going to do about it.' " t We trust the Republican has read the returns from, our city election and knows "what ..reward was meted' out to these city registrars." . It was, a cold. cheerless'1 day for - machine politics in Asheville, ' as it was In other ' western North Carolina towns where the (people nominated "citizens' " tickets to op pose those of the democratic politi cians.

Commenting on Senator; MqLaurin's position Mr, Bryan says his action marks the beginning of a movement in the South which will have an influence upon the' politics of the nation, v and that while McLaurin is not likely to be the leader of it, "some leaders will arise to give direction and force to the aristocratic" and plutocratic element for which Mr. McLaurln speaks. There Is such an element in every 'commiunity, and now that the race question no Ion-, ger unifies the white people of the Southern States, it will doubtless man ifest itself." This sounds like an echo from Old John Most. If Mr. Bryan can make no wiser comment than this on Mr. McLaurin's action he should rematn silent. Why should Mr. Bryan cheapen himself in this manner, and debase himself to the low level of the wildest populistic ass that ever roamed the desert? Is every man who does not agree with Mr. Bryan an aristocrat, or a plutocrat? There are many men much poorer in this world's goods than Mr. Bryan, who are as intelligent, as patriotic, as courteous, and as honest as he, who on many questions hold views radically different from his. No amount of misrepresentation, or politi cal bull-dozing or cheap buncomto can change them or drive them Into sub- missiveness or silence. They love their counlry as dearly as Mr. Bryan does-; they are as ready to defend it when need or duty calls. This country needs more free, full expression of honest, in telligent, courageous, manly1 thought unaved by autocratic leaders or parti san bigots and unwarped by desire for office. Courage ia one thing; Intoler ance is another. Mr. Bryan has enough of the one and too much of the other. BTIs intolerance and autocratic spirit no less than his false prophesies and his unsoiind Judgment will in the end operate to has own undoing.

' Let two men stop and gaze in tently at the top pf a building or the sk;-- or what not andT presently others win iop ana- gaze in the same direc tion. Practical jokers have before now be n known to gather a large crowd in this way. This Is true, of New York as well as of Hendersonvllle. The TrilUine says that "if King Solomon were living in New York at the bresenl time, and were In the mood for produc ing proverbs, he would make several ad.i." nons to his celebrated list of -hlngs that were too wonderful for, him, and "that his supplementary sped flea -tIor would include the mystery of the ciowd that gathers to watch any un usuai occurrence in the streets, t.v whom in point of interest there la littlo dlffertnce between one happening nd another. A conflagration has great allurements, but so has a fallen horse. Who are these people? Whence do they come? And whither are they going when curiosity arrests their progress? What supports their ample leisure? Perhaps when times are bad they are persons out of work. But now times are good. Are they, then, so prosDer- ous thafe they can afford to take from, ten minutes to an hour unto them selves whenever they piease? If they have ultimate destinations is tbpr anybody to complain of their delay when they arrive? Are they thinkine- while they peer into a hole? Or are they merely looking?" The Tribune strikes the key note to the explanation of the mystery when it mentions the word curiosity. Curi osity is a universal human trait. The busy man as well as the idle man, has it and the former will drop his work to satisfy it. Does any one' fancv that the crowd which fills the public square before the fire bell has done ringing are all going to assist in putting out a conflagration? Not at all: neither are they concerned for fear the fire may be on their premises for many of them come from their own premises. No; they simply want to know where the ! Are is and how fast the trucks can be gotten out and other things of that sort. Curiosity is at the foundation of science. The desire to kno.w something one does not know, or the reason for something one does know makes the . learned man and the scientist as well as the prying gossip. "I want to know" BIRDS OF BUW1MBE COUNTY. Tfce Season Whn -Trausmtg Out Number Eesidents. The abundance of bird life in the neighborhood of Asheville is something of which the person who sticks to town or to main traveled highways knows UttLe. Some years ago, John S. Cairns cf WeavervlIIe, a born naturalist and a man who became an authority on the birds of this region, made a list of 204 different varieties of birds he had seen hereabouts. 'This list with Mr. Cairns note has recently been published in the form of a little book called '"Birds of Buncomlbe County" and is on sale at our book stores. This Httle book was printed in consequence of the I in terest felt in Mr. Cairns' work by F. A. Sondley, Esq., and Br. J. W. Fore man, both of whom find recreation In the out-door study of wild birds. Mr. Cairns' list includes most ' (familiar va r'etles of birds and many rarer ones. Like our population, the birds are clas sified as "transient, resident, summer isItors and winter visitors." Common names are given so that the unscien tific reader may recognize his favorites without difficulty, and the litttle publi ation cannot fail to be of use to any who are interested in wild birds. Nc one who has walked over tfc eotntry surrounding AsheviJe but has tad his eyes attracted by the bright colors of such birds as the scarlet tan- ?ger, the cardinal bird, the Baltimore criole, flicker,, (red-headed woodpecker, the tiny mby-ttoroated humming bird and other birds of brilliant plumage, whic- ' we are assured are "comamon" or abundant" here at- some itlme of the Tar. There is too, a long list of song birds; several varieties of warblers, the warbling vireo, the hobolink, larks, thrushes, , goldfinches and,' wrens "that are "common." Tne wooa mrusn, whose song. In spring Is to the writer's thinking more beautiful . than the nightingale's,' is a common summet isltofr. as isj also Wilson's tharusn which same persons fl'nd' even' more en trancing1 than "f.he ' wood thrush as songster 'Besides these songsters, there' lti'trfe cuckoo, ths whip-poor-will, bobwhite ' the robini fl many others wt&se.call Is distinctive and alluring.

Xdke many another cei brity many -anecdotes are tacked to his name which may or may not belong to his jcareer. lAnnong these is one to the effect that he once went to a neigh boring town and held a revival meet ing. On his return some one asked about the results of the affair. "We had a ye"y successful meetin'," said he, "I made fbhty dollars and a few con verts." On another occasion some strangers In town attended his church expecting to h.ear his famous sermon, but another preacher was in the pul pit. One of .the strangers stepped up to the preacher of "Dry Bones" and slipping a dollar in his hand explained that his party was from a distance and hoped to hear him preach . Whereupon he rose and announced that he had not intended to preach but that there were Some people from Boston in the con gregation who badly needs Christian enllghteniment" artd he had decided to preach . There is a negro preacher, we are told, in Kentucky whose name is Peter Vinegar, and who lives up to his name by preaching sharp sermons. These sermons usually have sensation al titles which are announced before hand. For instance in summer he an nounces that he win discourse upon a da.mj hot day" and he improves the oc casion by picturing the terrors of "a hotter place than this."

Any one going into the country now can- hardly fail (to see and hear many beautiful birds. Almost 'Very flock of birds of passage makes stop here, as these birds follow the spring north and travel by stages. The stop may be for a day only or for some weeks, but as one flock follows another there are sure to (be some of each variety here for an extended pe riod.

He is not so ubiquitous and destructive as the Eng lish sparrow, however, and most of th birds of passage simply assist In the good work of destroying insect ipeata that the heat brings out or in eating seeds of too prolific weeds.

The cat bird and brown thrush, which are common here, are both "mockers" and of ten irr itate very sweetly the songs of otner birds. The blue jay is quite a different bird here from what he is in the north woods. There he is shy. and seldom seen and is known chiefly for his stri dent almost harsh call. Here he ls as friendly and familiar as the robin and he ha ' a variety of rich liquid notes at his command. He is a resident and may be seen both summer and winter frequenting door yards and lawns In town. There is a commonly received notion that song birds are always of sober plumage, -but this is not the case: many songsters have bright plumage the orio'.c, tanager and vireo, for instance . The male is both the songster and the one that wears the bright dress in most species. Moat birds change their plumage and their appearance once a year. The bobolink goes further and transforms himself twice a year. He Is a gay creature but Mrs. Bobolink wears a comparatively dull garb. Anyone who likes to go "hunting" these days with a good- opera glass or, J better still, a field glass may have plen ty of innocent pleasure and entertain ment. If he is enthusiastic he will hail each new arrival, with delight and make or renew" many charming ac quaintances. There Is no pleasanter study or more wholesome recreation ,than a field glass hunt for (birds. It gives an object for walks, and walks with an object are oftener taken and more satisfactory than aimless ram bles. It is quite as healthful to the hunter as gunning and it is a good deal more healthy for the birds than des tructive pursuit of them. 'OliD SOIiMER'S EXPERIENCE. M. M.
