THE SWEET POWER
OF

Editor of the Gazette:
Yesterday I called the attention of the
citizens of Buncombe county to the j
Reed-iculous and re-Mark-able disap
pearance of one Bryson Douglass, col
ored, from the county chain gang with
in a very short time after the beginning
of his term of imprisonment . What I
had then to say was necessarily vague
and uncertain . It was stated, however,
that said Douglass was the owner of a
very fine organ whether it was, or is
now, a Reed organ I cannot of course
tell; as Capt. Powers says, "there are
others who know more about that thin"

MRS. CARRIE NATION
DREW A GREAT CROWD
Mrs. ' Carrie Nation has been
gone. She spoke briefly last night in
the court house and again out on the
square. After seeing and hearing her,
one no longer feels like calling her Car
rie. She is a nice looking old woman,
unmistakably of limited education and
intellectual ability, but a ready speak
er and the possessor of an earnest a;r
and rather pleasing manner. he has
a strong voice, with a ring of sweet
ness in it. She makes 6imply an or-
j tnodox temperance speech, telling vne
things, most of them home truths, that
minister here, in connection, with the
negotiations of the Panama canal
treaty. Concha Saturday declined to
begin negotiations until he knew the
interpretation his government, placed
on the action of Admiral Casey in as
serting American authority over rne
traffic on the Panama railroad. Jtiay

iculous mystery every little thing which
can by any possibility throw light on
it is to be carefully considered and puch
importance given to it as we may think
it deserves1.

the proceeds to go, she explains", to the
founding of a home for drunkards'
wives in Kansas City.
She came early in the afternoon and
stopped at the Oaks hotel. She leaves
early this morning for Columbia. A
large crowd assembled on the square
early last evening to hear her, and
when she began to speak the court
house was packed and Jammed. 'She
received liberal applause.

Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 29. There was
never before in Raleigh such a pro
cession as the industrial and floral
parade, in connection with the state'
fair, today. There was a large number
of floats and decorated carriages, ana
the military feature alone was unprece
dented on such an occasion. There
were seven military organizations, be
sides the Agricultural and Mechanical
college cadets, the latter having 400
boys under arms. It took an hour for
the procession to pass a given point.

H. Busbee, attorney for the railroads,
presented an order from Judge Purnell

circuit court. This order was given on
affidavit of Mr. Busbee ini which he
claims this is a suit between a citizen
of this state and a corporation of an
