As sociation's Affairs in Ex-' cellent Condition. , At tho meeting last night of the di rectors of the Y. M. C. A., Dr. J. T. Sevier was chosen as director in place of Dr. C' E. Reed, who recently re signed, on his leaving Asheville to ac cept a position on the faculty of the Culver Military academy. . Dr. Sevier has taken much Interest in the Y. M. C. A., especially in the athletic work, and his selection as one of the direc tors Will meet wide approval. Lunch was served at the conclusion of the business meeting... Every director In the city was present - at the meeting, and reports were 'heard from the various com mittees. . Satisfaction was expressed by the board at the work that has been accomplished during the past year. It waa shown that the associa tion is In a prosperous condition, and there- was In evidence an enthusiasm which may result- in making next year.the greatest in the history of the local organization. Several matters of a routine nature were discussed. TCI PER CERT OUT M IS HIE FIKELY . ' About" $80,000 Has Been Col . lected; $10,000 to $15,000 Waa Former Rule. The beneficial working of the law enacted by the last legislature, by which the taxpayers of Buncombe county are allowed a two per cent discount on their taxes during Octo ber and November and one per cent in, December Is concretely expressed by the difference in the amount of taxes collected this year as compared with that received this Ume last year. Tax, Collector R. C. Crowell stated to day that ha had already collected about $80,000 in taxes; and that he usually had collected only about S10, 000 to $15,000 by' the middle of De cember, heretofore. Right at this time the county generally needs quite a little money to. pay the school teachers as well as the , current ex penses, and it was the practice . to borrow money nearly every year, as the people would not pay their taxes, as a rule, until they had to. This was natural of course, as they had the use of their money that much longer.' But the county had to pay their in terest for them. Now, Instead of pay ing the interest to the banks, it goes to the people in the shape of dis counts. During this month, tax pay ers will receive a discount of one per cent There waa a suggestion that they be charged one and two per cent during the latter tax Taylng months but this was not carried out If it had been, the county would have col- Groat his; reductions on IjxIIoh' and Misses Suits, and Long Coats at II. Redwood & C'o.'s. An much as 10 on the garment. - ,- ( lected about as milch in Interest as the discounts amount to. - The atrtoimt of taxes to he collected In Buncombe county ' this 1 year. Is $247,000, ,y$30,000 ... more than that levied by the last assessment. Mr. Crowell spoke of the difficulty of collecting the . special taxes, that class charged against . professional men, lawyers, doctors, etc. He said it is like pulling eye teeth to get these taxes. - Some of the' professional men seem to look on the matter as an im position and others refuse, he says, to take his requests for payment at all seriously. He sW he expects to re port some Of them: to the grand Jury If they do not pay before court con venes In January. i See H.

Jewett made us sing 'as a part of the dally curriculum and the discordant and strident notes which Joe and I warbled from that old log cabin must have caused the heavenly choir to smile outside of that old cabin. The boy had no schooling, no college training, he got his education unaided In the University of the World. He was of Scotch-Irish strain and his make-up was a happy Combination of the best qualities ot each stock hard common horse ,vnse and racy, Jovti) mother-wit Whllu his style was clear and cogent, his reasoning strong and sturdy. It was that never-failing Irish wit that made the charm of his writ ings and won the hearts of his read ers; that wit was sometimes dry; sometimes Juicy; sometimes sting-gy but never venomous. Our forefathers near a hundred years ago linked the names of Caldwell and Pearson not In token of kinship but of family friend ship and I feel that both the Cald- wells, father and son, greatly honored this association of names. This did not keep Joe from hitting me hard blows, but he always struck out from the shoulder and never landed below the belt. W. W. Holden, W. L. Saun ders, Walter H. Page, Edward J. Hale, father and son, deserve honorable mention among , the many editors whose pens have Illustrated , the strength, the growth and the worth of our state but, taking all In all, the palm, the highest mead of pralne must be awarded to this self-made man whom North Carolina mourns today as her very own the child of her bosom MIL PEARSON'S TRIBUTE The Life of Jooeph P. Caldwell Grand Sermon, Says a Political Antagonist Richmond Pearson in Charlotte 'Ob server. ".. I have been deeply moved by the grand anthem which our people with united voice have rolled up to high heaven In honor of Joseph P. Cald well. ' - It seems as if his life had beea in. tertwlsted with the very heart-strings of his countrymen, and his mother state weeps for htm as if the best fiber of her being had been removed. The fact that he has hit me and hit me hard in political contests makes . me the more eager to join In this general acclaim to his integrity, his loyalty and his courage. I knew him well; we learned our "A B Cs" together under old man i-the best exponent and product and defender of her institutions. With all respect to. all the divines of all the sects within our borders I dare to rise before the congregation and to assert that this 'universal outburst of feeling In honor of Joe Caldwell Is the grandest sermon that we have ever heard or felt.
