NEWS NOTES FROM THE MOUNTAIN
METROPOLIS OF INTEREST TO
NEWS READERS.
From Our Regrular Correspondent.
News reached this city last
week from Limestone Township
to the effect that Miss Althea
West, daughter of Mr. aed Mrs.
William R. West, had committed
suicide by taking an overdose of
strychnine. Up to the present
writing no cause for her rash act
has been discovered. It is re
ported that the West family were
entertaining some friends the
day that the young woman took
her own life and she appeared in
good spirits during the day.
Shortly after the guests had de
parted she told her father that
she had taken the poison. Phy
sicians were hastily summoned
but the woman was past medical
assistance when the doctors
reached the West home.
The registration books for the
bond election have closed and
the books show that there will be
3,000 eligible voters.
In the case of Francis Sumner
being tried for the killing of
Charlie Powers at the Arden de
pot last December th»? judge or
dered a mistrial as it was found
that one of the jurymen was a
distant relative of the dead man.
The ease will be brought for trial
g,t the next term of court.
At a recent meeting of the
board of aldermen former Chief
of Police Jordan appeared before
the board and made the request
that the $500 reward offered by
the city for the capture of the
negro desperado Harris be paid
to Mr. Rankin, custodian of the
fund, so that the fund would be
complete and turned over to the’
widows of the patrolmen who
lost their lives in an effort to
effect the arrest of a negro.
The application of the Asheville
Telephone and Telegraph Co. to
the city to allow them the privi
lege to turn over all of their in
terests in the local plant to the
Bell company has been rejected.
The committee who had the mat
ter in charge reported at a recent
meeting^that they did not deem it
wise to allow the holding of the
old company to be turned over to
the Bell people at any time, and
there the matter rests at the
present writing.
For a week or ten days the
whole police force have been on
the lookout for a small negro boy
who has been working a smooth
game on a number of Asheville
people. The negro would call at
a house and sav that he was sent
by one of the many, pressing
clubs in the city to get some
clothing. The people at the
house thinking some member of
the family had requested the ne
gro to call for their clothes, and
the rest was easy. The negro’s
little scheme worked to perfec
tion and a number of gentlemen
lost one or more suits. The po
lice have been unable to capture
him.

Personal
Recollections
of a Dollar
*
¥
I am a dollar. A little
age worn, maybe, but still
in circulation. I am proud
of myself for being in cir
culation. 1 am no tomato
can dollar—not 1.
This town is only my
adopted home, but I Ijke it
and hope to remain per
manently. When I came
out of the mint I .was
adopted into a town like
this in another state. Bv.t
after a time I was sent ofi^
to a big city, many miles
away. I turned up in a
Mail Order bouse. For sev
eral years I stayed in tbat
,city. Millionaires bought
cigars with me. I didn’t
like that, for I believe in
the plain people.
Finally a traveling man brought me to this town and left me
here. I was so fla« to get back to a smaller town that I deter
mined to make desperate efforts to stay.
One day a citizen of this town was about to send me back to
tbat big city. I caught him looking over a Mail Order Catalogue. -
Suddenly I found my voice and said to him—he was a dentist, by
the way:
“Now, look here, doc. If you’ll only let me
stay in this town I’ll circulate around and do
you lots of good. You buy a big beefsteak
with me, and the butcher will buy groceries,
and the grocer will buy dry goods, and the dry
goods merchant will pay his doctor’s bill with
me, and the doctor will spend me with a
farmer for oats to feed his buggy horse, and
the farmer will buy some fresh beef from the
butcher, and the butcher will come around to
you and get his tooth mended. In the long run,
as you see, I’ll be more useful to you here at
home than if you’d send me away forever.’
99
Doc said it was a mighty stiff argument. He hadn’t looked
at It in that light before. So he went and bought the big beefsteak,
and I began to circulate around home again.
Now, just suppose all the other dollars that are sent to Chicago
or some other big city w^ere kept circulating right here at home.
You could see this town grow.
HONEST, NOW—AIN’T I RIGHT?
that was scheduled to come off
at the opera house last week be
tween Kid Williams, a well known
western .“pug,’' and Vance
Guest, a home aspirant for fist
ic honors, did not materialize,
as the affair was nipped in the
bud by Chief of Police Bernard
who called the attention of the
lighters to a state law which pro
hibits boxing contests when one
or both of the lighters receive
any money for their exhibition.
The law allows a fine of $500 and
also one or more years imprison
ment. When informed of the
law the two fighters decided that
they were not so anxious to fight
after all.
A deal was closed last week
whereby O. B. Schoenfelt, the
well known New Orleans wrest
ler and athlete, bought fifty acres
of land in West Asheville knowm
as the Green-Thrash tract, and
on which* is located the old Car
rier race track. It IS understood
that the new owner will have the
property developed for racing
purposes, andjfrom present indi
cations Asheville will be the
scene of professional racing in
the near future. This new pui:-
chase of Mr. Schoenfelt*s is close
to his other property at Sulphur
Springs which he bought some
months ago, and on which it is
said Mr. Schoenfelt will build a
school for^physical culture and
athletics.
As stated in this fcorrespon-
dence several weeks ago Detec
tive Jordan arrested a young ne
gro at Old Fort for attempting to
wreck J passenger train No. 11.
Your correspondent is informed
that Lynch was found guilty of
the charge at this term of Mc
Dowell court and given three
years’ sentence.
Judge Cook signed an order
last week whereby Gillian Stike-
leather will be compelled to give
evidence in the now celebrated
Mills divorce proceedings. Mr.
Stikeleather is a well known
Asheville young man and it is
claimed that he has important
information bearing on the case
that the irate husband is desirous
of bringing out.

Saved Her Son’s Life.
The happiest mother in the little
town of Ava, Mo., is Mrs. S. Ruppee.
She writes: “One year ago my .son
was down with such serious lung
trouble that our phy^jician was
unable to help him, when by our
druggist’s advice I began giving him
Dr. King’s New Discover5% and I soon
noticed improvement. I kept this
treatment up for a - few weeks when
he was perfectly well. He has
W'orked steadily since'* at carpenter

“In 1887 I had a stomach disease.
Some physicians said Dyspepsia,
some Consumption. One said I
would not live until spring. For
four 3’ears I existed on boiled milk,
soda biscuits and doctors’ prescrip
tions. I could not digest anything I
ate; then |I picked up one of your
Almanacs and it happened to be my
life-saver. I bought a fifty-cent bot
tle of KODOL and the benefit I re
ceived from that bottle all the gold
in Georgia could not buy. In two
nqonths went back to my work, as a
machinist, and in three ‘months was
well and hearty. May you live long
and prosper.”—C. N. Cornell, Rod-
ing, Ga., 1906. The above is only a
sample of the great good that is
daily done everywhere by Kodol For
Dyspepsia. It is sold here by Bre-
