In all probability Buncombe
county will shortly be the scene
of another hanging, as the negro
James Rucker, who is confined
in jail awaiting trial for crimi
nally assaulting his 7-year old
step-daughtar, stands little show
of acquittal, for the child has at
last admitted that Rucker was
her assailant. The circumstan
tial evidence in the case was very
strong against Rucker, and no
doubt he would have been con
victed without the aid of the
girl’s testimony, but with the
child’s statement to strengthen
the case there is'no doubt but
Rucker "will forfeit his life for
the crime. In addition to the
present charges peiiidi^g against
him he has been identified as the
man who attempted assault on a
yoiing 'nluiatto not long ago in
Vl^ctoria^ind was frightened away
by ' her cries, . Rucker claims
that" he : is Innocent. His trial
will take place at this term of
court.

The board of a’dp** . of this
city have decided to ask the st^e
legislature to amend the city
charter so that the board may
raise the saloon tax from one to
two thousand dollars per year.
All of the firemen who were
hurt recently when the tire truck
struck a telephone pole at the
corner of Patton and French
Broad avenues, have recovered
ffom their injuries. The truck
is badly smashed and the esti
mated cost for repairing it is
about $200. The members of the
tire company have asked the city
board to buy a new truck, as they
say the old one is too heavy for
this hilly country and that it is
very hard to handle, which makes
it dangerous for the firemen to
ride on it when they are making
a fast run to a fire. Up to the
present writing the board has
not taken any action in the
matter.
Police Captain Taylor and his
brother, who were fined in police
court for assault on ex-Police
Judge W. P. Brown, have been
given a hearing before the city
board, and both of them have
been suspended from duty for
thirty days withpul pay.
The Toxaway Hotel Company
has filed a plea in an effort to
keep from being adjudged bank
rupt and claims that it is not such
a corporation as could be forced
into bankruptcy, as the company
is not in trade. The claims of
the creditoirs Of ^the Toxaway
Company, it is understood,
amount td about $12;000, and it is
stated that no matter what‘the
decision of the judge may be con
cerning the petition of the Hotel
Company about “not being in
trade’’'will not alter'the plans of
the creditors, as they intend
pushing their claims so as to get
a settlement of some kind.
The famous 6 acres of land and
world over as “the house that
Vanderbilt cannot buy,” has at
last passed into the hands of Mr.
Vanderbilt. The present con
sideration was only $2,000, but
statements have been published
from time to time that the negro
has been offered prices ranging
from $5,000 to $75,000 lor the
property. L. R. D.
THE PEOPLE’S LOBBY.
Washington is watching with
much interest the working out of
a distinctly new idea in public af
fairs. This is the People’s Lobby,
a non-partisan organization, de
signed to foster a wider knowl
edge of national legislation, and
to indorse or oppose such bills as
affect the general welfare of the
people.
The basic idea is that, if the
people know the facts on legisla
tive matters, public opinion will
find such wide expression that it
cannot be disregarded. Chan
nels of publicity are' not lacking.
The People’s Lobby has the sup
port of a large number of leading
new’spapers and of such publica
tions as “Success,” “Collier’s”
and “Ridgway’s.’’
An important branch of the
work of the organization is the
careful compiling'of'the public
record of every senator and rep
resentative. The people have a
right to know froM.'ran unpreju
diced source what their legisla
tors are .doing. The influences
brought to bear on members of
congress will also be examined
into. This means a history of
the “third House”—the secret
lobbyists who are so successful
in influencing legislation for the
benefit of the “special interests”
which employ them.
The plan seems broad enough
and practical enough to augur
great public good if intelligently
carried into effect. The person
nel of the governing committee
and of the men in charge of the
bureau in Washington would
seem to promise this result, and
the willingness of the people to
indorse the project and to sup
port it with their subscriptions is
attested by hundreds of commu
nications received from every
state in the union and from Pana
ma, Hawaii and the Philippine
islands. Enthusiastic letters are
still being received daily, and
the organization continues to
make its appeal for subscriptions
for any amount from $1 upward.
Henry Beach Needham, whose
experience as a journalist in
Washington led him to suggest
the formation of the People’s
Lobby, is the secretary in charge
of the Washington bureau, lo
cated in the Munsey building.
Neighbors Got Fooled.
“I was literally coughing: myself
to death, and had become too weak
to leave my bed, and neighbors pre
dicted that I would never leave it
alive; but they grot fooled, for thanks
be to God, I was induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery. It took just
four one dollar bottles to completely
cure the cough and restore me to
good sound health,” writes Mra.
Eva TTncapher, of Grovertown,
Stark Co., Ind. This king of cough
and cold cures, and healer of throat
and lungs, is guaranteed by Z. W.

t>he Sensational Story print
ed in the Asheville Corres
pondence Last» Week.
The following was sent to the
Asheville Citizen last Saturday
for publication.
Editor Asheville Citizen;
As marshal of the Town of
Brevard, N. C., my attention has
just been called to an article
printed in the Sylvan Valley
News at this place, under the
head of “Asheville Letter” writ
ten by the regular correspondent
“L. R. D.” in which it is stated
that a Mr. Morgan, representing
one of the wholesale houses in
Knoxville, Tenn., had been used
upon a recent trip to our town.
That he, upon alighting from the
train and entering the bus, was
accosted by the town marshal,
placed under arrest, carried up
town and locked up for an hour.
That his keys to his trunks were
demanded, that he refused to de
liver them but his trunks were
broken open and searched. That
he 'was later released on putting
up a thirty dollar cash bond
which he put up out of his ex
pense money. -That the town
marshal and the Southern Rail
way requested him to accept his
trunks after they had been bro
ken open, but that he had de
dined to accept them and stili
had the railroad’s duplicate check
for them. That he had communi
cated with his house in Knoxville
and that they were standing by
dim in the matter. That he had
employed attorneys and was go
ing to sue the Southern Railway
for turning over his trunks to
the town Marshal, and also the
town of Brevard for false im
prisonment, for damage to his
character, loss of time and profit
on a sale that he was going to
make to one of the leading mer
chants of the town.
This was about the substance
of the matter, and replying to
same, because I do not w’ant bad
impressions to go out from the
town, or reflections on my con
duct as town marshal to go
broadcast ov^er the country, un
challenged. I desire to say that I
do not know this ‘*Mr. Morgan.”
I am informed that he went to
one of the hotels and was put to
bed on account of his condition
(not duly sober) and left next
morning on the train and never
attempted to sellany goods—nev
er as much as took his trunks
from the depot. He was not mo
lested by a single person, his
trunks were not touched, no one
attempted to arrest him, and
why he should circulate broad
cast such slanderous reports that
are nothing but lies out of the
whole cloth, I am unable to say.
I would advise Messrs. Smith,
Neill & Co., of Knoxville, to ex
change him for a man who has
some regard for truth, and who
will not go about slandering of
ficers of the law, railroad compa
nies, and towns and communities.
A word of warning!—This “Mr.-
Morgan” would do well to.travel
in other fields to peddleijiis wares
hereafter. The good people of
this town and community will
not tolerate such uncalled for and
slanderous statements that are
without the shadow of truth.
Very respwtf ully,
J. A. Galloway.
Town Marshal.
Nothing will relieve indigestion that
" not a thorough digestant. Kodol
digests what you eat and allows the
stomach to rest—recuperate—^row
strong again. KODOL is a solution
of digestive acids and as nearly as
possible approximates the digestive
juices that are found in the stomach.
KODOL takes the Work of digestion
off the digestive organs, and while
performing this work itself does
greatly assist the stomach to a thor
ough rest* In addition the ingre
dients og KODOL are such as to
make it a corrective of the highest
efficiency and by its action the stom
ach is restored to its normal activity
and power. KODOL is manufac-
tured in strict conformity with the
National Pure Pood and Drug Law.

It has been said that the action
of congress in adding $2,500 to
the salaries of representatives
and senators, is a recognition of
the increased cost of living. But
the republican party and the ad
ministration have denied that the
cost of living has increased.
They issued official bulletins at
public expense to deny this, for
campaign purposes.

Ther^ders^of thiis paper be
pleased to Uarn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that scienfce has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. HalPs Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity,
^atarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is-taken
iuternally, acting directly upon the
^lood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
