See for Himself.
lias not the proposition to remove
Geronimo and his band td W. N. been
condemned without sufficient knowl
edge of the case or consideration of .the
advantages which might accrue from it i.
Governor Fowie's neat hit in response
to Secretary Proctors' inquiry at the'def
cay of New England farms, seeded to
tickle us so much as to divert attentioh
f roin several important considerations.
We are informeil by Senator Vance, who
has also had some correspondence with
Secretary Proctor on the j subject, that it
is by no nieans proposed to turn loose a
band of savage Indians upon'an unpro
tected country, but, if placed in Western
Jsprth Carolina, they are to be accompa
nied and guarded, as they are now at Ml.
Vernon Barracks, near Mobile, Ala.,4y a
detachment of United States troops. The
Secretary of War says in his letter o
Senator Vance that the requirement for
troops on the Indian frontier is yearly
growing less as the Indians grow fewer
and .more peaceful, and this fact involves
the removal to the Atlantic States of
large numbers of troops. Having : heard
so much of the charms of Western iNortli
Carolina, its health-giving climate and
growing popularity,, it naturally occur
red to the Secretary to; make a perma
nent barracks for troops in this section
in connection with the removal , of Ge
ronimo from Alabama td a more health
ful cljmate and suitable section. The
Secretary disclaims anyj desire to place
the Indians anywhere tliat w quid be dis
agreeable to the peoplej He it not fully
persuaded;, however, that the people of
Western North Carolina; would object to
the establishment of a barracks in their
midst, even when accoinj'tanied bp Ge
ronimo. lie says that the sight and in
fluence of civilization hak a wonderfully
taming effect upon the fierce savages pf
the plains, and'. that since Geronimo and
his band have had this experience they
4 have so far succumbed to- the conditions
which' surround them, that they are even
anxiotis for work. The SecretitryT wishes
to know w hat the people! of b extreme
Western counties really think of this
matter. He writes to Senator Vance
that he desires personally to visit this
section and lean! for himself the desire
of the people and the suitableness of the
country. If possible, h says, he ;will
come out here himself between the loth
and gOth of the present month.
We are informed - that Uhe Hon. H. G;
Ewart says, the people of the Western
counties are not at all averse to the pro
position and pleiity- of land will be glad
ly, gi en for the purpose. " j
liut if the . extreme Western counties
don't want Geronimo and his band, to
gether with a permanent United States
barracks, and the money jit .would leave
in th country, then we ;venture to say
they can be accommodated somewhere in
the neighborhood of -Asheville. The In
dian chief and, his warriors would be a
drawing canl for the great Southern! all-
t he-Vear-round resort, 'a fid the presence
of the rnitd States troops would be a
great attraction to home folks 'and visit-
ors.

("apt. J. S. Brown raised :a crop of wheat
this year, on ten acres, which averaged
44 25 bushels per acre. ; His entire crop
measured 1(52() bushels. ! We ask to give
publication to sltch records as this, says
the Webster Herald, which adds: "Why
may not splendid yields be the rule in
stead of the exception? The right kind
of farming will produce them iu any
wheat growing region.'' !
The average yield per acre for the state
is about 8 bushels, for Buncombe, 10 bush

reception, extended us. We shall en

Our Streets and the Electric Railway
i Tracks. , ,
Some complaint is male. that the trat:k
of the street railway is not kept so as to
admit of easy crossing for vehicles. We
presume it is the duty of the company to
see, that such difficulty is obviated, and
we further take it the company will at
once remove any cause of complaint.
