THE FRENCH BROAD RAILWAY.
As announced in yesterday morning's
Tribune a railroad meeting was held
yesterday at Unaka, N. 0. Mayor -J.
U. Luttrell and general R. N. Hood
left Knoxvilie at eight o'clock yester
day morning and found an official car
of the Richmond and Dauvi le railroad
awaiting them at Unaka. The official
ear brought Col. A. B. Andrews, presi
dent of 4he Western North Carolina
Railroad and vice-president of the
Richmond and Danville and Western
North Carolina. The meeting at once
jjcoceeded to business. The object of
the meeting was to complete the organi
zation of the French Broad railway
company which was chartered a few
weeks ago under the laws of Tennessee.
The capital stock w?as fixed at one
million dollars and the line to be built
from Knoxvilie to Unaka will be about
seveuty-tive miles in length.
The organization of the eompany
was completed yesterday by the elec
tion of the following directors:
Col. A. B. Andrews, of Raleigh,
president of the Western North Caro
lina railroad, and vice-president of the.
Richmond and Danville railroad.
Cyl. Frank Coxe, of Asheville, vice
president of the Western North Caro
lina railroad, and prop ietor of the new
Battery Park Hotel, of Asheville.
J. E. Rankin, of Asheville, a banker
and a stockholder in the Richmond and
Danville.
S. H. Wiley, of Salisbury, a banker
and stockholder in the Richmond and
Danville.
W. E. Anderson, of Raleigh, presi
dent of the National Bank, of that
city, and a stockholder of the Rich
mond and Danville.
Gert. R. N. Hood, of Knoxvilie,
president of the Knoxvilie and Augus
ta railroad, which road is owued by the
Richmond and Danville.
Captain H. H. Taylor, of Knoxvilie,
attorney and counsellor at-law.
The directors met immediately and
organized by: electing Col. A. B. An
drews, President. 8. H. Wiley was
made Secretary of the meeting.
It was ordered that the books be
opened at once to receive stock sub
scriptions. Major J. W. Wihon, of Morganton,
N. C, who is chief engineer of the
Richmond and Danville railroad sys
tem was elected chief engineer of the
French .Broad railroad.
The chief engineer was oHered to
immediately organize an engineering
corps and to proceed without delay to
survey the route from Unaka to Knox
vilie. -r.
Preliminary surveys will be made of
two routes from Unaka to Knoxvilie,
dne via. Sevierville through Sevier
county and the other via Dandridge
through Jefferson county. The engin
eers will begiu their work within ten
days, beginning at Unaka.
Major will visit Knoxvilie before
beginning the survey and the direc
tors will make a trip to this city in a
few weeks.
The capital stock of the French
Broad railroad, one million dollars, will
nearly all be subscribed by John H.
In man, of New York and other stock
holders in the Richmond and Danville,
such gentlemen as were yesterday elec
ted directors for the new road. Kno
ville will b3 called upon to subscribe
$200,000 or 300,000 of the stock and
Knox, Savior, Jefferson and Cockd
counties will be expected to subscribe
liberally.
The road will probably be bonded
for $10,000. per mile. It is calculated
that the cost of the seventy-four miles
from Unaka to Kaoxville will reach
about $1,750,000. Nothing is included
for rolling stock and it is expected that
the Richmond and Danville wall oper
ate the new road when completed.
'White the new raid will be construc
ted as the French Broad railway it is
practically an extension of the'Rich
mond and Danville system to Knox
ville. It is well known thai the Rich
mond Tuid Danville owns t he Western
North Carolina road and" also the
Knoxvilie and-Augusta road and that
the French Broad, which will be the
link connecting the two will be built
chiefly by stockholders of the Rich
mond and Danville.
! . Mayor Luttrell and General Hood
j rethrned to the city last night, both
! highly elated at the prospect of soon
having under way a new railroad for
Knoxvilie. Both these gentlemen have
i 1 I jl I 11 a " , .
en Inoonng taithf ully to bring about
this result, and for their earnest efforts
they deserve the gratitude of our citi
zens. Both have been hopeful from
the beginning, even when everybody
else doubted that the road would be
built.
We had a talk with Mayor Luttrell
last night after hp return from Unaka.
He was highly pie:ised with thexordial
manner in which he and Gen. Hood
were met by the Richmond and Dan
ville officials and says that he never
met a more courteous party of gentle
men. He is confident that they mean
business. .Mayor Luttrell, who has at
no time lost faith in the enterprise,
says he has no doubt the road will now.
be built without delay. He has been
in correspondence with officials of both
the Richmond and Danville and the
Louisville and Nashville roads and
thinks there is no doubt that it is the
intention of these two great systems to
meet at Knoxvilie. Knoxvilie, Tenn.,

E. cf L. and Social Equality.
As we pointed out yesterday, Mr.
Powderly chose the only colored dele
gate from the big assembly No. 49, of
New York city, to introduce him to the
Knights at Richmond. This colored
delegate said in his speech that, "one of
the objects of the order" (of Knights
of Labor) "is the abolition of those
distinctions which are maintained by
creed or color. I believe' he continued,
"I present to you a man above the
superstitions which are involved in
these distinctions. My experience with
the noble-order of the Knights of
Labor and my training in my district
have taught me that we have worked
so far successfully toward the extinc
tipn of these regretable distinctions.
What do the white Knight of Labor in
the South think of these sentiments ?
News-Observer.
And that paper further comments, as
follows.
The
civil rights
feature of the
Knights of
Labor
assembly at Rich
mond is rather a nauseous dose to be
put to the lips of the southern work
lngman. It cannot be swallowed.
The southern Knight is not yet
exactly prepared to place himself on a
plane of exact equality in all respects
with the negro, simply because the
latter is a fellow-workman. The
Anglo-Saxon blood rebels against any
such notion as that. So far the rela
tions between the races in the South
have been all that could be desired.
The negro has had all the rights to
which he is entitled under the law, and
yet there has been a place for him and
a place for the white man, though the
latter may have been a laborer of the
lowest order. The feeling between the
two races has been better here than in
any other section of the country. If
strife is now to be stirred up between
the two elements through the order of
the Knights of Labor, it is going to be
bad for the order.
The Richmond State says : "The
people of the South have kindly feel
ings for the colored race and here the
colored man has equal rights wiih the
whites in courts of law and at the
ballot-box. Equality of citizenship is
unhesitatingly recognized by the whites,
but social equalitv the whites refuse to
tolerate in any form. Sensible and
self-respecting colored men do not seek
"to do violence to these feelings, nor
have they any desire to obtrude them
selves where they are not wanted. Now
and then, however, some impudent fel
low is found who is eager to have at
least the appearance of enjoying a
social equality that never can be and
never should be his. Wliites who
have so little sense and so little decency
as to aid or abet him in such offensive
capers can hardly be expected to keep
the respect of the people of their own
race, who are willing always to do
justice tcrtbe colored people, but who
demand that their own inherent and
ineradicable feelings on the race ques
tion shall not be rudely insulted. The
course of the New York assembly
which has attempted to dictate that
the public houses of , Riehmolid shall
be conducted in a manner most objec
tionable to a large body of their
customers will hardly receive the un
animous approval of the Knights of
Labor of this city;"
It will hardly receive the approval
of any Southern Knights, we believe.
It is well, though, that our people
should be warned in time of the new
and vile use to which the Knights of
Labor organization is to be put, that
is to say if the Southern Knights will
consent thus to be used. Will they ?
We don't believe it.
Items About the -State Fair.
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE GIYEH
AWAY.
This is no catch trap, but it is true
as gospel. Six thousand dollars is now
offered to the enterprising farmers,
mechanics, manufacturers, ladies and
children of North Carolina. This offer
is made jointly by the State Agricult
ural Society of whom W. G. Upchurch
is President and John Nichols, Secre
tary, and the State Agricultural Board,
Gov. Alfred M. Scales, as Chairman,
and Peter M. Wilson, Secretary. Now
this-offer is bona fide, and if your
readers make an exhibit, they may
depend on getting their money. Pre
miums are offered on cotton, as much
as 850; tobacco, $40 for ten pounds;
corn, $50 ; wheat, 50 ; oats, $50 ; rye,
20 ; rice, $20. The above are not the
only premiums on the above crops, but
we only mention a few to show that it
will pay the farmers to show their
products. Handsome sums are given
all ladies work of every kind, both
l fancy ornamental and useful; preserves
piCKies, jeines, etc. dui we can t iase
up space in telling of them. Best
plan is to send to the Secretary at
Raleigh for a premium list.
Those who enjoy fine trials of speed
will miss a great treat if they stay
away from the coming State Fair.
The premiums in this department
are large enough to induce the fastest
horses in the country to come.
The rates to the i air are very low,
less than ever offered heretofore.
The Northern-born Citizens Conven
tion will draw many visitors from the
Northern States. All people of North
ern birth and their families will be
entitled to special low rates, to obtain
which they will have to apply to the
Com'niissioner of Immigration, Mr.
John T. Patrick, Raleigh, N. C.
It milters not, if they have been
residents of the State forty or more
years, they can get the reduced rates on
applicution, showing to the Commis
sioner that they are actually entitled
to same.
Many valuable premiums are offered
to ladies.
The display that North Carolina had
at Boston and New Orleans will be on
exhibition at the coming Fair, it will
be worth more than the charges to see
that.
The theatres will be occupied each
night during Fair by a first-class troupe
of actors.
Death of It. il. F. Hackett.
Dr. R. F. Hackett died at his home
in Wilkesboro at an early hour Tues
day morning. He had been in failing
health for eighteen months, and it was
known that his days were numbered,
and yet his death was sudden. Up to
a very short time before its occurrence
he was not supposed to have been
worse than he had heen for weeks be
fore, and the announcement that he
was dead was a surprise to the commu
nity. He died of heart disease and
dropsy. Dr. Hackett was one of the
Senators for Iredell, Alexander and
Wilkes, and his sickness dated from the
last session of the General Assembly.
He was never well after his return from
Raleigh in the spring of 1885.
The death of this gentleman calls
for more than a passing notice. In
his county, in all this section, there
is no man of larger intelligence, of a
greater degree of public spirior of a
loftier character. He is foremost in
every movement which had fur its ob
ject the .advancement of the general
welfare, and was in all matters a liber
al, broad-minded man. In his death
his county and the State have lost a
son who will be missed for many
years to come. Dr. Hackett was a
member ofr the Methodist church, and
adorned in his daily life the doctrines
which h professed. Statesville Land
mark. Davis on Sherman.
In the Baltimore Sun .of Friday last
is a five column reply of Hon. Jefferson
Davis to Gen. Sherman's assaults on
his character and public record. It will
be remembered that Sherman, in a
speech some time in 1884, to the
Frank P. Blair Post, G. A. R.," charg
ed that Davis was never a secessionist,
but a conspirator ; and that he had
seen a letter written by him to a man
then in the U. S. Senate wherein he
threatened to use the force of the
Confederacy against any Southern
i State that attempted tot secede from
: the Confederacy. Mr. Davis promptly
denied ever having written such a letter,
and denounced Sherman as a base
slanderer unless he produced the letter.
Sherman failed to produce the letter,
but his statement was finally called for
by the U. S. Senate with a view of
filing it as an executive document in
the War Department. This turn of
the matter has brought forth the
reply fio n Mr. Davis, which i3 pointed,

County Government.
It is useless and all non-sense to dis
cuss o&unty government system. Every
body sb familiar with its workings and
knows all the advantages and disad
vantages of it. We are not going to
return to the old system. The man
who proposes to give us back to the
negroes, is a coward, a traitor, a crank,
or a fiend incarnate, or a fit subject for
the lunatic asylum. We are not going
back; we will burst things up, and
make times lively and hotter than
sheol before we will submit to put our
necks under the yoke again. Let every
fellow who believes in a return to the
old system be defeated and buried so
deep out of sight that the angels can
not find him in the last days, and that
the atmosphere may not be poisoned
with his stench, and that the worms and
buzzards may not die from eating his
foul diseased body. Scotland Neck

Fatal Accident to a Hunter.
On Friday morning last, Mr. Tate
Culbertson, a young man about 18
years of age and living with his par
ents, in this county, left his home
about three o'clock, taking his two
dogs, coon hunting, telling the. family
he would return after breakfast. As
he did not return during the day search
was made for him by his friends but
to no effect. The neighbors were
notified of the missing young man and
all went out in search of him. At last
the father oemembering that the dogs
were with him sounded the hunters
horn, and the dogs immediately answer
ed. When found he was lying near a
large tree, which had been cut down,
with his shoes and coat off. The
neighbors came clearly to the conclu
sion that his dogs had treed a coon, and
that young Culbertson had taken off
his apjjarel to climb the tree and run
off the coon ; but failing in this he cut
down the tree, which fell upon him
and it is supposed killed him instantly.

Along the Railroad.
On Sunday the night passenger and

Western North Carolina Railroad. The
day train will run on about the pres
ent schedule and will carry the mail
and express.
Connellys Springs, at Icard Station
have enjoyed great popularity this year.
Judge Schenck, who was in bad health
during the summer, derived great bene
fit from the water and is enthusiastic
about it. He says there is none such
in the South. That great man, the
late Dr. Marcellus Whitehead, had
also a very high opinion of it.
A few nights ago, in the hurry and
bustle of making the transfer at Salis
bury from the Richmond & Danville
to the Western train, a colored train
hand ran against a luckless passenger
and knocked out his false teeth. The
passenger caught at them as they fell
but in throwing up his hand failed to
catch them and knocked them clean over
his head. Such a time as they had look
ing for the lost teeth! Conductor and
trainbands peering around with lan
terns, and the passengers who knew
what was the matter nearly dying. The
was furious. Every now and then he
toothless man would afeate his search,
straighten up and cuss the nigger. The
niggi r would then straighten up and Cuss
him back. (But the teeth were never
found, and finally when Tom Murphy
called "sill aboard!" the luckless passen
ger got reluctantly on thetrain, with a
vacuum iu his heart. Statesville Land
mark. The Cigarette Curse.
Last week a business man of the
city, pointing out a fine-looking lad of
fifteen or sixteen years, with a wide
awake manner and an air of apt intel
ligence, remarked: "That is one of the
most promising boys in the city. He
is already a tine accountant, is up in
business methods, is industrious and
reliable, and bids fair to make one of
the leading business in the future, if
he dosent ruin himself smoking ciga
rettes." "If he doesn't ruin himself smoking
cigarettes." There's the rub. How
many bright and promising boys are
destroying the germ of a strong and
useful manhood and "ruining them
selves" by smoking cagarettes!
Of all the evil habits of which the
youth of the present day are addicted
the cigareete habit is probably one of
the most pernicious and injurious. In
a majority of cases it virtually ruins a
boy before he is out of his teens. It
dries up his emotions, saps his energy,
weakens his strength, gives him a bad
breath and a bal color; injures the
organs of the mouth, throat, and chest;
destruyes the pliancy and melody of
his voice, undermines his nervous sys
tem, and weakens his mind and his
powers of thought and application.
The physical decadence occasioned by
its indulgence would be strikingly il
lustrated by a comparison of any given
number of boys and girls of the same
relative age. In a hundred average
girh below the age of maturity the
proportion of well-grown, vigorous,
healthy developed girU is in excess
whereas in a hundred average bot
veu to cigarette smoking the propor
tion of weak, unhealthy, ill-grown,
prematurely withered boys is in large
excess.
The far-reaehing and irremediable
ccnequ?ac? of the habit can. therj-
fore, be easily foreseen ; and yet no
intelligent or well-directed efforts are
made to prevent, correct or suppress it
Writing ..about it apparently does no
good. Boys who smoke cigareetes do
not deny that it is a bad and injurious
habit, and do not defend it, but they
go on smoking their lives away all the
sa rue. Parents, too, in instances, hare
lost their influence and control, or have
become resigned to the ruinous prac
tice; and the consequence is an un
limited indulgence and the spread of
the habit by contact and association.
Something should be done to stem
this growing evil. The State, which
has a paramount interest in the moral
and physical welfare of her youth,
should countenance and authorize any
enlightened policy for its correction.
The days of "Blue Laws" are long
since past, and while laws and ordin
ances looking to the inculcation of
right habits and the suppression of
vice among the young measures which
the intelligent judgment of the com
munity might conscientiously approve
could not properly be classed with
the "Blue Law,' still the principle of
coercion necessarily embodied in such
measures might wholly defeat their
object. Human nature is human na
ture, and is the same the world over
and through all time, and while it may
be restrained, it caniiot be wholly
changed or reformed by the rigid opera
tion of repressive laws. Purely re
formatory means should be employed.
The public schools, if properly direc
ted to that end, might be relied upon
to eradicate it to a considerable extent.
Certainly boys should not be allowed
to smoke eigarettes while attending
the public schools, and right induce
ments toward a permanent abandon
ment of the habit should never fail to
be used, not only in schools, but in
shops, offices, stores, factories, and
wherever else boys are employed. Com
petetive premiums for total abstinence
might be offered by"the city school
authorities, or by regularly constitu
ted reformatory societies. Richmond

News has been received from Cald

which James Wheeler, aged thirty-five,

, June 5,1886
In I87S there came on my hand what
was thought to he a carbuncle, which ran
Us course several monthsv broke and finally
healed. Tke next spring knots or k nodes,
came on my arms, which were thought to
rc rheumatic, ami I took gallons of medi
cine from the best physicians in Cuthbeft,
Ga.r where I then resided.
Alnuit this time my left limb below tho
knee commenced swelling at a fearful rate,
ami finally came to a head and broke. Both
arms were sore, and I could hardly bear nay
weight standing, and hardly know how I
managed to live through it nil. About this
time wc moved from Cuthburt td Atlanta,
I'began to despair of ever get tin
well; the
sore on my limb was a regular eating ulcer,
no.v about three inches in length, two inch
es width, seeming to be down to the bone,
and discharging about a cupfu Of pus
(matter) a day, my arms still running, my
sleep disturbed, and I sometimes thought I
would lose my reason.
A friend recommended B. B. 1 com
menced its use, and I saw an improvement
from the very first. I have taken 8 or U bot
ties, and my arms are entirely well, and tho
large nicer on my limb has healed. I now
feel like a new person, thank to uch a
noble remedy, B.B.B
