PENCIL Washington, D. C Oct. 8. The fall term of the Supreme Courts of the United Slates begins next Mionday. This meeting of the Court tftll have a particular interest to the people of North Carolina, for the "reason that the three cases Involving the; legality of the legislative enactment reducing freight and passenger fares are to be heard. The habeas corpus case from Asheville, which is known as one of the cases involving the question of jurisdiction, has already been docket ed. While it is the purpose of counsel to ask the Supreme Court to advance the argument, this course will hardly be pursued until the case involving the thlrtv thousand dollar fine im posed by Judge Long on the Southern Railway reaches here. This case is now pending before the Supreme Court of North Carolina. It s is pro posed to argue the two cases together, as they present the same question. There would be no particular advant age in asking the Court to advance one of these rases at the expense of the other, for it is not probafole that I either can be reached for argument prior to the new year, even though the motion to advance is granted. The Court already has a big pile of; work nlace in September or October. 4 In this connection he says: "The ar mories were unsuited for drill, and streets were depended upon. On ac count of unfavorable winter weather. the streets of the places visited in February-, March and April had hot been available for drill:; for months prior to the inspections, with the re sult that the organizations, it was claimed, were at their -,worst when called upon to show accomplishment In the year's training' ' Major Dngan's Rexxmtmendatlons. Some of the other recommendations made by Major Dugan as .the result of the Inspection of the Carolina militia by him are as follows: v "Thfct a whole day be . designated for the inspection of the personnel and material of each organization! ; "That It would be an advantage to apportion to organizations the funds annually available for the purchase of material. By so doing, relative efficiency In administration could, to a degree, be determined,, and an in centive to care of property estab lished.; f. "That considerable saying to , the State and general governments would be brought about if some part of the funds available for" the supply of ma terial could be set aside for the. .re pair of public property at the stations of the organization to which it per tained. ; j "It is estimated that for about $5, 000 an acre or so of ground could be purchased on the outskirts of any pne-company-station town, a suitable single-story building of: frame or brick for store, assembly,;and sociable purposes erected In one corner of tfcU. and the whole premises r lighted ( by electricity. Such a proj.evt was sug gested tq a number of officers of the guard and an thought wu or it.

North Carolina's 3Iilitary Material., The report of the Adjutant General to the Secretary "of War shows that there are 225,000 men In North Caro lina aval-able for military duty -in case of war. This number includes all persons of military age and does not take cognizance of those who are exempt from military service. ; The' strength of the organized militia In North Carolina last, year was 1,98 9 which Is an increase in membership of 139 during the past four years.: The report includes the observa tions of the army officers who in spected the State militia In the va rious States.

(Special to News and Observer.) Asheville, N. C. Oct. 8. Ashevllle has gon "dry" and thevprohlbltionlsU are tonight wildly enthusiastic. The verdict of the . peole today was ren dered in language plain. They liter ally swept the city clean and sent the saloon to its death beneath an aval anche of votes. The prohibitionists carried every voting precinct In the city and won by a majority of eight hundred and forty eight. While the voting continued all this afternoon the tale was practically told at noon. In fact before 10 o'clock this morning the saloon advocates saw the handwriting on the wall and real lzed that the tide had set against them. After the first four hours of balloting it was simply a question of majority. The total number of votes polled was U'700. Exciting Contest. The contest today was one of the most wildly, exciting, and withal novel ana spectacular elections in the his tory of the city. It was the climax to a three weeks campaign of unu sual interest and intensity of feeling. The scenes.-that were enacted at the various polling places today have no parallel in the city's history. Lone before the hnup fnr thm nnn. ling of th polls congregations of msn, women and children at each of the voting- both prepared to spend the day and to work for temperance. There were also many prohibitionist voters at each of the voting places early, and when the polls opened at 8 o'clock the "cold water" . advocate- made a rush for the booths. They lined up solid and prohibition votes fell thick and fast into the ballot boxes. Hard Time for Ue Wets. While the prohibitionists were cast ing their ballots the women and chil dren besieged every "wet" voter about tlus poWlng prelcncts In Instances the "wet" voter was effectually blocked In his efforts to get at the. polling booth. He was pleaded with. He was prayed with and he was sung to. 'If he per sisted in a determination to. vote his convlctloar the "workers' surrounding him redoubled their energies. If ho finally yielded to his "moral suasion" there was a shout" of victory.

It Is thought that Congress, for rath er obvious reasons, would willingly Increase the army by the number of enlisted men necessary to supply the national guard.

The great majority of the sa loon men and the advocate of the saloon arc taking defeat gracefully and cheerfully. There are, however, some who are pretty sore over the re sult During the early hours of the voting there was talk among the antl prohlbltionlsts of contesting the elec tion because of the "lnterfence of the women and children.
