TENNENT ELECTED CAPTAIN OF FIVE Asheville Boy Makes Fine Athletic Record at Univer sity of North Carolina. Boardman Likes Climate; Says the City Is Well Governed. POLL TAX RECEIPTS NOTJNDEMAND They Will Probably Be Popu lar About the Last Week In April. County Tax Collector B. A. Patton itatos that the collection of taxes is lowcr this year than usual. Out of about 6,600 polls net over 800 have teen paid, which la less' than 12 per cent of the whole. The reason for the delay Tseems to be that most inen ' have ' fallen into the habit, says the collector, of put ting off payment day until the last week in April. Then, In Imminent rear that the franchise may be forfeited, the voters come. to the office In bat talions to secure ttie receipts that must bear a date before May 1. Here tofore it has been necessary for the tax collector to increase his office force during the last days of April and apparently he will have to do so again. - , At a meeting of the. basketball sauad. last Monday, Raby Tennant was elected captain of the basketball team of the University of North Car olina, to pilot the team during the year 19J6-1917, says the Tar Heel. Tennent has played a consistent star game at right guard for three years, and has now been chosen to lead the team for the coming year, his last year at the university. The class of '17 is peculiarly gifted in the art of bas ketball, three of their members be ing on the varsity squad. The other members of the squad In the class of '17, are Johnson and Tandy. Raby Tennent is a graduate of the local High school, and made quite an enviable record luring his four years at the "Asheville High," making the track, football, basketball and baseball teams, during his four years at mat school. He la unusually gifted and cut but for an athlete, being nearly six feet In height, weighing nearly 200 pounds, and possessed of unusual strength and endurance, being called by his class mates "the strong man.. Toung Tennent's many friends in Asheville wlshhim much success during his coming year as captain.

T., yes: terday to a Times reporter. Mr. Boardman has been for several years a traffio policeman in his .home city, which now has a population about 800,000. It may be surmised that some of the problems facing Mr. Boardman and his associates In Roch ester are harder to solve than those confronting the men stationed at Pack square and at Patton avenue and Haywood street. The Rochester Doliceman says that after years . of study and experiment the authorities have travel and transportaltion matters well In hand. The employes of the city of Roch ester are under civil Service, Mr. Boardman states; and policemen es' pecially are carefully examined, phy sically and mentally. Mr. Boardman expressed the opln' ion that Asheville- Is blessed' with an efficient municipal government With lnorease of motor traffic, he pointed out that additions to the number of the police force will probably be necessary.

Mr. tsynum was won by the Courage of the defeated man. He couldn't Help telling about it, and in his community the people were with the governor. W. M. Law son, writing from Hot Springs, found sentiment the same. "I was glad," writes Prof. N. T, Gulley, "I congratulate you and the state upon the decision." Judge Robinson says the stoutest hearts grow faint whe they are not helped from 'without sometimesh "The commutation of these. poor wretcnea is heartily approved by our people, he writes. . Rev. Joel L. Snyder, pastor of the First Baptist church of Fayettevllle thinks it much-better that the woman was not put to death and Rev. J. C Surrua, ex-moderator of the Surry and Yadkin - association (getting mighty 'close to Brother J. C. Styers) says: "Justice is fully done." Senator W. B. Snow writes in the heartiest approval ot .Governor Craig In, refusing the rigorous application of "a man-made law" to a woman Ex-Senator W. R. Odell of Concord big business man, jpins the many approval of the action. , Ono WoiU Left Out. ' Governor Cralgcalled attention to the fact that, nearly all the papers have omitted from his reasons a word which gave some explanation Of the masculine aversion to capital punish ment when applied to woman: "The killing of this woman would send a shiver through North Carolina. .Hu manity does nvt apply to woman the Inexorable law that it does to man. This may arise from nilslconceived sentimentality; it may arise from the deep and holy instincts of the race." The printed copy left out "holy." He did not pretend to say what it was. He knew that the Salisbury mob after taking the woman, one or the black est of women who weighed 190 pounds from the jail, returned her because it was unwilling in its hideous orgy of torture and mutillation to execute woman. Governor Craig has not fared so well at newspaper hands as he has done privately. The Times of Raleigh, the Sentinel of Winston-balem, . tne Record of Greensboro, and a few oth ers have sharply criticised him, the Times being caustic. But the major ity of the papers have been with him. according to those who have kept up with their expressions. $1595 f. o. b. Indianapolis ASHEVILLE STORY IN Come Out Next. Sunday.
