Lot Death IUJe.
It is strange, but it is true,
that up to to the present time
there are only three candidates
for tho Charlotte postoflice.
This is a remarkably low death
rate out of a population of over
11,000. Observer.
Asheville is considered one of
the healthiest cities in the couu
try and still the number of can
didates for the Asheville post
office is far in. tho lead of Char
lotte. Our population is about
5,000, and there are of this num

about 15 of the number expect

Brown's prices are also an at

Tobacco Association, and
Citizens Last .Night. -
A large and interesting meeting
of the Board of Trade, ogether
with members of the Tobacco As
portation, and citizens generally,
was held at the Club Booms l&t
night. A report from the Sanita
ry Committee -was read and ap
proved. Mr. Richmond Pearson
being present, i was called upon
and spoke on the subject of the,ex
tension of the Carolina Central
Railroad to lr to Asheville
lie said that, the road in all
nrnluiliilitv. would TO fo Rntioir
j fordton, but could not teli wheth-
i ertne uompaiiy uuuiu. tinAm.vrv
to extend the line to Asheville.
He referred to. the road law, and
thought that a law would be -given
to Bui combe similar to the one
which applies to Mecklenburg. He
mentioned the subject of a Stock
law for this county, aud said that
he desired information on the sub
let. Capt. Patton, Mr. McCapo
and otiicrs, made ; remarks favor
ing a stock law. Mr. Pearson 1dm
sel, thought thatonly certain
townships in the county wanted
it. He could not tell what action
the legislature would take on the
question of merchants' tax; but
mat the movement for s me. leg
islative relief had spread over thn
entire State. He was of opinion,
however, that the tax would be
retained, the inducement iu the
way ot revenue being so great, but
admitting that it was unjust and
over burdensome. Mr. Pearson
continued his remarks at length,
referring to other matters of gen
eral interest which have come up
for consideration in the Legisla-
UOn motion of Mr W. T. Penni
man, the following resolution was
adopted: ' ' .
liexotved, : hat this meeting of
the Board of Trade, Tobacco As
sociation and citizens of Asheville
is strongly in favor ot the Stock
Law -now pending in theLegisla
ture, and requests our Senator
and Repnsentatives to use their
exertious in securing its pa sage.
Mr. Pearson made a statement
in regard to the Spartanburg &
Asheville Railroad. .He said that
Col. Andrews had toldJhln?tlMit
tie companyva ioifjtfoas to coin
ple.to tho road, that if resolutions
providing for a Repeal of the char
ter were introduced into the Leg
islature, it would only embarrass
the company, and work determent
to its progress. ! He spoko of the
recent meeting at Spartanburg,
and had faith in these promises
to begin work at once, but since
the strong opposition exhibited
against his amendment to the
Robinson bill, (published else
where,) he did not know what to
think. He referred to the position
taken by Mr. Rohison and other
western members in : opposing his
amendment. He was inclined to
think that the opposition to his
amendment by tho friends of the
company indicated that they did
not mean !o finish the road.
Mr. Pearsoufs amedudment
and as to what course he should
pursue, was dicussed by Messr
f R. Hamilton, J. E. Rankin, J.
Keploi. v . r. reuuiman, . l.
Gwvu and others.;
On motion of Mr. W. T. Pen
nimau, the following resolution
waa unanimously adopted:
llesolced, That the amendment
proposed by Mr; Pearson, to bill
IU2. entitled "A 'Bill to be entitled
an Act to secure the completion of
the Western North Carolina Kail
ro:idto its Western terminus at
Murphy," beingimply inthena
tureof a guarantee of the good
faith of the Railroad authorities.
in their promises as to thecoiuph;-
tion of the spartannurg tt Astte-
ville R ilaoad, and in no way pn?
judicial .to the interests of the rail
road company, or to the bill itself,
we feel assured that the said au
thorities will be glad of the opporr
tunity of so guaranteeing their
oromises. and we accordingly urge
our Senator and Representatives
to press the . amendment and to
assist in the passage of the bill if
so amended.
