took him across Virginia and a part
of Tennessee.
Colonel Koosevelt started out the
day with the determination to keep as

which has been troubling him. is not

Colonel Koosevelt spoke In the after

Colonel Koosevelt opened his speech
by complimenting the people on their

Speaking of the navy. Colonel Koos

"It is not necessary for us to have

procures a stronger desire on tile part

" '.Speak softly and carry the big

the quiet little village, nestling at the
foot of giant peaks and between two
bold mountain streams, with Its 200
to 300 inhabitants, to be changed al
most In the twinkling of an eye from
a peaceful country town into a great
lumber camp? If the Information is
correct and It comes from a reliable
source such will probably be the
case.
Ilouglit the Whole Town.
It was rumored here this week that
the Whiting Lumber company had
purchased practically all of the town
of Kobblnsville. The information was
so startling in its nature that for a
time little credence was given the re
port. There were other rumors and
still other rcMirts and today a Ga-nettn-News
reporter, in conversation
with a gentleman from that section
of the state asked about these reports.
Tho rumors were almost entirely con
firmed. It was stated that during the
ast few days the people of Bobbins-'
llle have been, to use a slang expres
sion "set on tin-" by the payment to
them of fabulous prices for their
holdings In the town. It was further
stated that money paid to tne penpic
f Kobblnsville was paid In gold in
110 and 20 gold pieces. The V hlt
iinr Lumber company ,s backed, It Is
snld, by an Knglish syndicate, this has
advanced or stands ready to nuvance

It was further stated this afternoon
that options had been either taken or

the property In Kobblnsville wltn the
exception of the Methodist cnurcn

property and the Presbyterian school
together with only three Individual

Presbyterian school property may be
purchased sou the school moved to a
point nearby. In any event the work
of the Presbyterians in Graham coun
ty will not be abandoned.

noil. This, In effect. Is what The Gazette-News
authority meant when he
said thai the railroad would be built
from the Tennessee line through to
connect with Hushnell and that it
would pass through Kobbinsville, and
Ibat Kolibinsvillo Would be the loca
tion of the great lumber camp.

About 100 Shots Fircd-lt Is not

A (.real Lumber ( amp.
And what is the meaning of all
this? The answer probably lies in the
alleged fact tht the Whiting Luinbi r
company owning thousands of ncres
of tine hardwood timber In (Irahnni
county purposes establishing a gnat
lumber camp at what Is now known
as Kobbiiisv ille. It is said that a rail
road will h" built through the count;
that the railroad will etxeiid from
some point n ar the Tennessee bio
through Graham county and then on
and connect with the Hushnell line
f the Southern railway. Kobblnsville
was the ideal loi-Mion lor the cump
lid practically the only location
made so. II is said, by reason ol the
mountain fastnesses and the river
route. At an- rato It Is evident the
Whiting company thought it was III-
best place sine,- it has practically pur-
hased the town.
Just how much money the Whiting
people or those Interested with them
have turned loose In the town of Kob
blnsville is not known at this time hut
it must be a considerable sum. That
thousands and tens of thousand cf
dollars additional will be expended In
that section is certain. That town, it
is believed, will certainly b- turned
into a great lumber camp and while
the county court house has not yet
been purchased it is possible that this
also will be bought and that the coun
ty seat will bu moved to another part
of tho county.
The statement is made that the
town will bo turned Into a great lum
ber camp and that between 1000 and
1500 itcoplo will be employed. Just
how soon all this will take place can
not be stated at this time but in all
probability operations looking to the
establishment of the camps will com
mence early in the spring.
Conllrmntory Evidence.
Confirmatory to the story carried by
The Oaxette-jV'ewa this afternoon is a
statement made oy congressman Aus
tin of Tennessee rcwitly in which the
TeniiNan said that a 12.600.000

county on the Little Tennessee river.
"I am no, able to atate at present,
he aald, "the nature of the plant, al

The plant at Kobblnsville la evidently

Several persons who were in the
wreck came to Asheville today. One
of those who was in the smash-up In
referring to the accident and giving
his experiences said: "The cause of
the accident was light-weight and de
fective rails. 1 was eating lunch at
the time and felt distinctly the wheels
leave the rails and strike the cross
ties. Almost Instantly the. car Jarred
and then before one could think twice
the car turned over and feU down a
15-foot embankment Into an old field.
The mail car, baggage car and
coaches were all Jerked loose from
the engine, the engine staying on the
tttack. 1 had a right sharp '
whirl around the car. but was
not much hurt and when the car fin
ally landed In that old field I Just
scrambled out. I was told that when
the car started to tip over two children
one of the cars were thrown
through a window and onto the sandy
bottom and escaped Injury. Another
minicnlotis escape was that of a
mother and her infant In arms. Tha
mother had the child In her arms
when the wreck occurred. Both
mother pud child were thrown bodily
through the window, the only damage
being a scratch on the child's face."

The testimony showed that the cause
of the wreck was the spreading of the

the passengers on the train who ea-

through the window, but was uninjur
