The AsheviUe branch of the Salva tion army gave cheer and- happiness to many unfortunates In AsheviUe Sat urday night and yesterday. Aside from distributing baskets tilled with good things for the Christmas dinner the army was enabled through The Gazette-News empty stocking fund to fill stockings for lgO little boys and girls thut Santa CUus in his rush had missed. But for the efforts of the army workers and the generosity ol people who contributed through The Gazette-Xews to the land these 150 little folks would have had little if anything indicating the glorious Christmas season. The stockings for the unfortunate children were filled in the army hall on South Main street Saturday afternoon. Ka; h child was provided with a pair of new stockings, a nice warm pair of mittens, an or ange, an apple and nuts and candies. The town was literally districted by Adjutant llouters in charge of the local work of the army and Saturday night his faithful soldiers with bas kets on arm went from house to house and placed the stockings where Santa Claus had failed to call. Yesterday morning at least 150 children awoke to a realization that they had not been neglected; the little stockings were filled with "goodies" and many little hearts were made glad. Saturday afternoon the army work ers distributed to unfortunate families 218 baskets filled with meat, potatoes and other things for the Christmas dinner. Each basket contained seven and one-half pounds of excellent meat, besides the other good things. The baskets were designed for a fam ily of live with sufficient food to sup ply the wants of the live persons for three meals. In short, ever busket contained plenty of food for the en tire day. tin a basis of five plates to the basket and five plates served three times during the day from each, bas ket it will be seen that the army workers yesterday supplied food suf lii lent for 3270 meals. Adjutant llouters and his falhtful workers deserve much credit for their untiring efforts in behalf of the unfor tunate people of AsheviUe during the Christmas season. They worked day and night all last week making ready the baskets and the stockings for the Httle ones and the work was not con cluded until midnight Saturday when each officer and soldier was weary almost to the point of exhaustion but happy in the thought that through their efforts they would bring cheer u;d happiness to many.

Adams extended clemency to 30 defendants arrested Saturday night and Sunday charged with drunkenness, caus ing a nol. pros, entry to be made in each case.

It was yesterday morning. when the lock-up was practically tilled that Judge Adams directed the po lice authorities to release all prison ers In Jail charged with drunkenness that they might enjoy their Christmas dinner at home. Later the court di rected that all other drunks be releas ed from the look-up as they sobered up. This morning when the 30 drunks were called the court directed the clerk to take a nol. pros. In all cases. The docket In police court this morning was heavy. Aside from the Irunks there were a number of de fendants charged with assault, disor derly conduct and larceny.

His gift to The Gazette-News was a large and unusually fine box of cigars. "Will we smoke? well, we guens we will." Harry Sugarmnn, the popular ad vertising manager, and the genial good fellow of the AsheviUe Dry Goods company, brought over to The Gazette-News office this morning quite enough really fine cigars to go around to all the smokers of the shop. L. B-lomberg, one of Ashevllle's old est and most prominent dealers in cigars, and the like, sent a box of one of his finest brands to The Gazette News' force this morning, this being Mr. Blnmherg's annual Christmas gift to the boys which is always appro dated highly. Mrs. F. A. Stevenson of West Ashe viUe died Saturday afternoon at her home after an illness of about three years. The funeral services were con ducted from the Methodist church at Gash's creek this afternoon. Mrs. Stevenson is survived by a husband, and four children, two sisters, Mrs. R. A. Whlttnker and Mrs. Amanda Fromm. Some person last night entered a stable on Lexington avenue where was stored a Bulek automobile be longing to Clarence Mears. who is now in Florida, and taking the ma chine out of the place made away with It. Up to a late hour this after noon no trace of the machine could be had. The automobile was of deep red color and had the number 1003. Of interest to AsheviUe people especially and North Carolinians in general and to the sadness of Greens boro citizens is the bulletin of the census department giving a list of all of the cities in the United States with 25,000 or more inhabitants. Only two North Carolina cities it is perfectly proper to call them cities when they get on the honor roll are to be found on this list. These are Charlotte with Its 34,014 souls and Wilmington with 25,748. Traffic on the Murphy division of the Southern railway was tied up for two hours Saturday afternoon by a freight wreck which occurred between Turnpike and Coburu about 4 o'clock. An eastbound freight with engine No. 121 derailed two cars near the water tank at Turnpike and the train ran atiout a quarter of a mile before the crash came. It is a wonder the cars remained on the track for such a long distance. In crossing the long tres tle just this side of Turnpike a num her of the crossties on the bridge were broken. The cause of the wreck is unknown 3 r PROTECT YOUR TIRES FROM WEAR AND PUNCTURES Also prevents skidding in snow, iee or mud. We can fit yout tires from stock. Come in and see them.

Dee. 27. THE manner of concluding the first letter intended as a de lineation of the attitude which the president luis assumed toward his party In North Carolina may have appeared to most readers as some thing that hud come upon them rather sudden like. Republicans, when told that President Tuft holds them in higher esteem, however slight, than he once did, will doubt leira nrefer to see the assertion nv- companied by a bill of particulars. In times past Mr, Taft has ex pressed a longing to see built up In the state a respectable republican party. He had such longing because he did not think the party was res pectable. When he went to Greens boro to voice his own and Jlr. Hoose VfU'i sentiments he was convinced that the party would bo be better off if all the offices were tilled by demo crats, and he really felt that "few men of substance in the community" fell nny interest In republican tinairs. All through the early days of his stay i-. the White House he was of the nntninn attU. more than ever ----- - (onvlnced, no doubt, of the correct-1 new ol early Impressions. When the; nurtv elected three members of the hotc it seemed that the proper time hue urrlvod for commanding and de n timllnw.,,nt only the esteem and good win of the president, but a like reaurd from national leaders gener uiiv. .-istead of taking advantage of this situation two of those house members lent their support to care fully selected agents who went to the White House an started a row.

For awhile the president believed what these nopl said, so once more what he '.. hi. r,.,rtv in the state would hardly have been adapted for r.blieatlon, for the president some timer e.Npresses himself strongly when the occasion seems to demand it. Once more he felt that the offices should be given to the democrats. He was still in this state of mind when the matter of the eastern district party in an anomalous position, when v. ....... ,. ir it would remem ber for awhile and he Knew, by the stir the contest starteo, mm . - fnr option.

Ha soured miwe than two miles I1D In the sky. hte barograph registering 11 tH feet, or almost a thousand feet above the altitude by LeOagneux at Pau. France. Hoxey accomplished his feat in a forty mile mile. Hoxsev sailed Into the sky at 1 o'clock. At 2:45 his barograph allow ed the m-eatcst height while he soar ed over Venice, a seasnore resort. more than twenty miles from, tne aviation field. Coming down, he made a scries of thrilling spiral glides while thousands of feet In the air. Before he came lightly to earth, the crowd was on Its feet cheering. He was lifted from his biplane by fellow aviators, who paraded up and down before the grand stand hearing the intrepid nyer upon tneir snouiaers. The mile which Hoxsev and nis brethren of the Wright camp, Par- malee and Brooklns, brav.d success fully wrecked Latham's beautiful An toinette machine completely. The Frenchman was among the aviators who answered the starting gun at 1 o'clock. For two hours and fifteen minutes he fought the wind which blew directly off the ocean, six miles from tho aviation field.
