From Our Regular Correspondent. The hearing in the Mills di vorce case has again taken a turn which is of local interest. Two negro bell men of this city were taken to New York as witnesses against Mrs. Mills, to testify con cerning her action during her stay in this city last summer. The attorneys for Mrs. Mills have now called in members of the Asheville police force, Sheriff Hunter, Clerk of Police Court Norris and several justices of the peace to testify as to the charac ter of the two negroes who were witnesses against Mrs. Mills. They want’to prove the character of the tw’o negroes and also the character of some of the other witnesses in the case who are Asheville people. It is hard to get at the out croppings of this testimony as the hearing is being held in Asheville behind closed doors and every one connected with the case is keeping their mouths closed as if they were sealed. The New York dailies are publishing s<^nsational detail ed accounts of what is bein^ said and done in Asheville, but if their stories are based on i3ny fact at all they must be able to see through closed doors and read minds; for accurateinformation is hard to get by Asheville newspa per men who are more or less ac quainted with a number of the witnesses and attorneys in the case. With the approaching city elec tion close at hand the Asheville voter is again feeling his impor tance in this world for he is meet ing with pleasant smiles on all sides and the “Glad Hand” is the order of the day. Mr. “Voter” is greeted with friendly kindness by Mr. “Canidate” and Mr “Vot er” throws out his chest at being recognized by a prominent man who had never condesended to even give him a look before. From the present outlook there will be as many candidates for offices as there will be voters. Since the purchase by Mr. Shoenfelt of New Orleans of the Green-Trash tract of land in West Asheville on which is located the Old Carrier Race track and his announcement that he would have annual racing held in the near future a number of the prominent people of this city in eluding Judge Prichard and members of of the W. C. T. U. and the clergy of Asheville have made a formal protest against the establishing of a race track near this city. They have framed up a petition and sent it to Raleigh with the request to Senator Webb that same be passed on by that body w'hich will prohibit racing in any form in Buncombe county. Mr. Shoenfelt has invested sev eral hundred thousand dollars in real estate in and around this city and the action on the part of some of its leading citizens con cerning his proposed project is How Much Could You Get For Your Farm? You are a farmer. You live near this town. You own land. Let us say that you own more than you need and would like to sell a hnudrod aci*es. How much could you get per acre? Land values have risen lately. But has the value of your land risc;ii as you thiuk it should? Your land is good land. You think It Is worth considerably more than anybody has offered you. Well, let us see. A man buying farm land naturally prefers to locate near a thriving, up to date town. He wants good home markets for his crops. He wants good schools. Let us say your land is three miles from town. A farm that looks very much like yours is three miles from a town twice as big and twice as prosperous as this town. If you were going to buy .a farm for your own occupancy, wouldn’t you .pay a whole lot more for land near the town that is twice as large and twice as lively? Of course you would. It would be good business. Now, what makes a town big and bustling? Money: Money in circula tion. Not in circulation in Chicago, for instance, but right in the town that wants to grow. How much money have you sent to the big Mail Order houses in tlie city the past ten years? How much have your neigh bors sent? How much have all of you together put out of circulation here at home? It is probably beyond calculation. If a\l that money had been spent in your own home town, isn’t it reasonable to assume that the town would have grown more than it has grown? Wouldn’t this town be a bigger and better towm ? Wouldn’t it have more stores to buy your produce? Wouldn’t it have more public improvements to make it more attractive to outsiders who might come here to live, to go into business,'or buy your surplus land at a good figure ? TO TRADE AT HOME MEANS TO HELP THE TOWN AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. TO HELP THE TOWN AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEANS TO HELP YOURSELF. t received with regret by the wealthy athelete from New Or leans, who intends making Ashe ville his home. * It has developed that the much talked of purchase of lands in Limestone township by John M. Campbell real estate dealer of this city was not made fr>r the Goulds or Vanderbilts as was stated in press accounts all over the United States. As the story went Mr. Campbell was buying up hundreds of acres of land for the Goulds who would build a beautiful country home within twenty minutes ride of Asheville e-tc., but Mr. Campbell stated to your correspondent that such was not the case as he had made the purchases himself from a point of speculation and that he was now offering the property for sale in small plats at a rea sonable price per acre. James Rucker the negro con victed at last term of superior court has been sentenced to be hanged on April 13. His attorney Eugene Way is pre paring papers for an appeal to the supreme court. Mr. Way states that as his client has been sentenced at this term of court he has until August term to pre pare his paper of appeal for pre sentation and this fact will give his clientanother six monthslease on life before the final termination of his case. L. R. D. Fresh whales are now quoted at $2400. If these luxuries of life continue to rise in price, some families will have to confine themselves to little cods and sar dines. If Mr. Oliver, the disappointed bidder for the Panama Canal work, will take the advice of the many claimants who have been prosecuting their claims since the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, he will not depend too much on that §40,000 damages claim against the government.
