Tho delegation was composed of former Commissioners C. P. Weaver, George White and T. S. .Morrison, t'llugman Hunter, Mack IJuckner, Frank Wear ver. Iter. Mr. Harold and several other prominent citizens. Several of I lief e men made addresses asking for the road and it was In response to this reoucst that Chairman Reynolds made the statement in regard to the county's finances. Chairman Reynolds states that the board is helpless at this time to make further improvements, owing to the. fact that the funds at disposal of the commissioners are exhausted, that the board is unwilling to involve the eoun ty by continuing public improvements, and thus creating a floating indebted ness, which would have to be cared for by a bond Isue. Chairman Reynolds stated that if the citizens of the county wanted the board to make further improvements, they could be demanded through the public press, by mass meetings or by appearing before the board and that it; would lie the pleasure of the board to issue bonds or hi any other way that the citizens might suggest se cure funds for carrying on the work of the county. Work that ought to be done in the county at this time, as stated by Chairman Reynolds, is the building of new dormitories at the llerorm school and additional room to be us ed for school purpose, a few bridges, new roads, continuing work on other loads now under course of construc tion in the county by the convicts. lie goes on to say that under present conditions the county is un able to do more than to pay the sal aried officials of the county and keep up the county institutions, the county home, the children's home, the Re form school and the convict camps. This statement is made. Chairman Reynolds states, in order to let the public, know the condition of the county's finances and to see if some action can be taken to give relief, where relief is most needed. MR. COLLET! TO ADDRESS ONION LOCAL Mountain Soils and Fertilizer Problems Subject at Sand Hill. The following statement has been Issued by the Sand Hill local of the Farmers' Union: "The local Farmers' Union at Sand Hill cordially Invites all farmer.' to attend its meeting at the school house on Friday, February III, at 2 P.

The attendance being recorded now at the moving picture and vaudeville theaters In Ashevilel Is so markable for the winter season in Asheville that It seems remarkable, even to the own ers. A few years ago it was hard for such theaters to be operated success fully even during the rush of summer tourists business here. Now the the aters are practically tilled to capacity all the time, for both day and night performances. This increase in busi ness is not assigned altogether to the increase in population or the number of visitors here, either. As a matter of fact, this increase In the general interest in such theaters is generally conceded to have been brought about through the raising of the standard of the amusement houses here. A few short years ago there was not in existence in Asheville a popular price theater attraction that was considered to be altogether worth the price of admission. Now this city offers, probably, the best popular price attractions to be found in any city of its size in the country. The real revolution In the moving picture business was marked by the opening of the Trineess a little over (8 months ago. The eventual success of such a house was seriously doubted then, but the fact that another house on a similar scale has since been opened in the heart of the business district seems to be proof that there is business here in abundance for moving picture palaces of the r!nt sort. The Majestic, one of the finest vaudeville houses to be found any where in the south, has since been added to the list and the daily attend ance at all seems to Indicate very clearly that Asheville people are will ing to patronize amusement houses that furnish entertainment of the highest class. This evolution of the popular price show in Asheville. however, has not been brought about without losses. It seems that the popular idea that the moving picture and vaudeville busi ness attains its success on "flowery beds of ease" is therefore baseless. The old Palace, later the Classic, has long since been closed and is replaced by a storeroom. It is known that large sums of money were lost there before the change. other like enterprises, ovidently not on the right basis as to class of attractions, have lost money for numbers of individuals. The houses of real merit, however, are ap parently successful because they fur nish what the public desires. FOR II COLORED FAIR Plan to Have Exhibits From Colored Schools at Y. M. I. March 9-10. Arrangements are being made for holding, in the V. M. I. building here, a county fair for the colored schools of the county on March 9 and 10. Several meetings have been held in regard to the matter and it is believed that general interest has been suf ficiently aroused to make the fair a success. The purpose of the fair is to exhibit specimens of the hand work of of the colored children of the coun ty, in order that the parents can see just what their children are doing in school and to give the white people some idea of the work that is being accomplshcd by the colored schools in the county. February 27 has been named as ed ucational day in the colored schools of the c ity and county, at which time It is proposed to have exhibits made of the w'ork of the children, and from these specimens will be selected for exhibition at the fair. Speakers have been asked to visit each of the schools and make addresses to the pupils about the fair and Its purposes. Sev eral of the most prominent negroes in th city have been asked to make ad dresses and It Is thought that greater Interest will thUI be aroused among the children of the county over the fair. N. C. Xewbobl. associate supervisor of rural schools, of Raleigh, will be here and make an address on the last night of the fair and Superlntend- n1 W. II. Iliups of the county sc hools has promised his ro-operallon in making the fair a success. Exhibits will not only be shown from the rural si hoots, hut from the Asheville colored schools. It Is the plan of the committee in charge of arrangement for the fair to have ex hibits from every colored school In Asheville nnd Runeombe county and everything will be done to induce the schools to send the exhibits and take part In the fair. Special musclal programs are be ing arranged for the fair and choirs from several of the colored churches nf the city will sing, special songs be ing rehearsed now. Ouro a Oold In Onm O-y Of all the designs submitted for the memorial in honor of the heroes of the Titanic wreck, that of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney was adjudged the best and she was given the commission. Mrs. Whitney -will now proceed with the work of preparing the statue. It Is anticipated that it will be erected in Potomac park. Washington. Con gress is expected to set aside it plot of ground there on which it may be put up. The skelch. which was submitted in an invitation competition with seen other sculptors, shows the heroic tigurc of a man standing, with arms outstretched and head thrown back, as though eager for sacrifice. "Sacri fice" is, in fact, the title that Mrs. Whitney gave to the figure. From a distance the figure takes the form of a cross. The sum of Sto.000 has been secured through the efforts of the woman's Titanic memorial committee, which in cludes hundreds of women prominent throughout the country. Mrs. Whitney, who was Miss Ger trude Vanderbilt, began her art work very modestly, and at first never ex hibited it under her name. Little by little, as if encouraged by favor able criticisms, she became more and more ambitious, entered public com petitions and won prizes at exhibi tions. Last spring in Paris a marble foun tain of hers received the honor of a special Installation in the salon. In the design three more than life sized men held up the broad bowl from which the water gushed, and in addi tion to the real water there were palms and a grass inclosure to add to the parkliUe effect. This fountain was for a courtyard in a Washington building. In the Architectural league exhibi tion of 1908 Mrs. Whitney, in associa tion with Grosvenor Atterbury, archi tect, and Hugo Bat'in, painter, won the special prize for a work combin ing the three arts. Mrs. Whitney's contribution to the design was a foun tain. Another piece of work of Mrs. Whit ney familiar to New Yorkers is the great sculptural figures in the Hotel Belmont, the caryatids that support tlie ceiling in the entrance hall. She Is also associated prominently in tbe group that Ir designing the sculp tural embellishments for the San Fran cisco fair. Her fountain, called "Kl Dorado," is to stand in tbe court of honor at the exposition. Her studio on West Eighth street, New York, near the Macdottgal alley studios, is being enlarged and improv ed iu anticipation of ber return to this country, supposedly about April 1. She nnd Mr. Whitney are now abroad. THE GIRL WHO SUCCEEDS. She Is the One Who Puts Heart and Conscience Into Ksr Work. To be a success in business a girl must be willing. An employer can a! wsys tell when bis workers have bis interests at heart. The business girl may think tbnt the strict attention she pays to the business at band goes unnoticed, but it nerer does. Every business man can tell wblch of his employees arrives the earliest ami leaves tbe latest. He knows which one does the best work and whlcb one Is the most diligent. Tbe girl who must support herself should learn st tho very start not to go into business with the idea of doini; the least amount of work possible for her salary, but with tbe determination to do tbe work allotted to her thor oughly, no matter how long It takes, and to be always ready for more. Tbls Is the spirit which wins out in the end. Another little word on this subject. Tbe more a dri dislikes her line of work the more conscientious she should be about doing It thoroughly. It Is easy to do work well and to give overtime to It when the work Is congenial and enjoyable, bnt when a girl longs to shirk at her business and finds It unpleasant, that Is Juat the time when (be needa to bncklo down to real labor. Tbe mere exertion ot forcing herself to accomplish her du ties well nnd thoronghly will eventual ly n.nke the work more Interesting and therefore more pleasant. Washington, Feb. 2. Small manu facturers and dealers who compete with great corporations want provi sion In price regulation in the new trust hills to prevent their being squeezed when they cannot meet quo tattoos on larger quantities. Hefore the senate interstate com merce commission yesterday delega tion spoke against the cause providing that nothing in the bill "should pre vent discrimination in price between purchasers of commodities on account f differences in grade, quality of luantitv of the commodity sold, or that makes only due allowance for difference in the cost of transporta tion." The advent of a brand new "baby trust" was announced by a delega tion from the National Association of Retail Druggists. C. IT. N'ixon told the house com merce committee that cutting prices on patent medicines was the club used by a combination of drug store? and cigar stores to drive small Indi virtual retailers out of business. "We believe a monopoly is beini started with the object of controlling (he retail drug trade of the entire United .States." said he. The druggists proposed that th( new interstate trade commission lie empowered to enforce publication nf fixed prices, wholesale anil retail, on all articles covered by patent, copy right or trade mark. Rev. Dr. Calvin B, Waller Gives Out Interesting Interview. Rev. Dr. Calvin B. Waller, pastor ot the First Baptist church and chair man of the local "Go-to-ehm oh" movement yesterday gave the Qazette- ivc-ws the lollowing with reference to the "Go-to-church" movement In Asheville. 'The Go-to church mnvf.mi.nl Is n general movement throughout the country. Many cities began the move ment a number of months aeo. and tho first campaign closed with last I Sunday; the results were perfectly marvelous. DisDatches from mum northern and eastern cities indicate that In many olaces the church m tendance was increased 100 per cent. It Is estimated that i. 000.000 nnonlo attended church in Chicago last Sun day. In Brooklyn the attendance went from an average of 300.000 to btin.uuo. jn Syracuse, nearly one haif of the entire population attended church. In Baltimore, Knoxville and other southern cities, the same re sults were obtained. "This is not a spasmodic movement it Is planned to keen un this mlli. tion during the entire year, maklna tome Sunday, perhaps In October, the annual " Go-to-rhurch Sunday." "Ashevlle is now in line with this great movement a live comlttee pj active pastors was appointed at the regular meeting of the Pastor's as sociation last Monday to orenniyr. carry forward this movement. This committer will meet next Monday to adopt certain workable plans. In the meantum-. we will secure data from these cities that will aid us. As a general Idea, we will use the public press, window cards, personal cards visiting, etc. as a means of appealing lo tne public to go to church. The end. In Asheville at least, will be two fold; 1. To secure regular attendance on the part or the church-going peo ple; 2. To so! ure the attendance of the non-church-going people.

Provisional President Huerta has telegraphed to the Spanish-American Union here re plying to its request that he bring about an armistice in Mexico by the statement that he is Increasing the federal army. The Spanish press commented freely on the Mexican situation. Several of the leading newspapers of the capital accused the United States government of "fomenting anarchy." Diario Universal, the organ of Count Romenas, a former premier, affirm. that if tin' revolutionists In Mexico are supplied with arms from the United States that the Washington govern ment is bound to impose respect for lives and property of foreigners.

A GUARANTEED ATTRACTION MATINEE 3:15-TWO NIGHT PERFORMANCES : 7:15 AND 9.30 Washington, D. C Feb. 7. Fear of granting immunity to witnesses caused the interstate commerce com mission to make an incomplete in vestigation of affairs of the New Haven railroad, according to Senator Norris today, who urged the senate to pass his resolution for a new inquiry. Senator .Norris read newspaper charges emphasizing that attorneys for Morgan and company received JI.'.OOO for drawing papers of a $1,000 subsidiary corporation of the New Haven. "If half the information made pub lic about the New Haven transactions is true eight or ton persons ought to be in the penitentiary." interjected Senator Borah. Senator Cumins declared that, In his opinion, congress had enough Infor mation and should enact laws to pro hibit future transactions rather than await further investigation. "I predict that the state of affairs here finds B parallel in the capitalization of a doz en railroads of the country," snld Senator Cummins. "We have known it was going on for years nnd refused to give the interstate commerce com mission power to regualte such mat ters'." Senator Norris declared he had confidence in Chairman Klliott of the New Haven road, but contended he should do everything possible to re veal the past so stockholders might be recompensed for their losses. Mr. Borah expressed the opinion that tbe attorney general would act. and re ferred to the recent agreement be tvven the department of justice anil the New Haven in which the govern ment did not waive its right to pro ceed criminally. "I think the spectacle of five or six men behind bars would have a more powerful moral influence than any legislation." he declared. AMERICANS THOUGHT TO BE PRISONERS OF CASTELLO'S BANDITS Jaurez.

Love for two sixteen year old girls, neither nt whom knet of the others exlstenct, prompted John Mcl-'adden to kill Anna I.utz and himself as they sat In an automobile near I!gonlcr, Pa,, early today.
