From Our Regrular CJorrespondent.
At the present writing the
Asheville police are going unpaid
for the lack of^funds to pay them
their salaries. For some time
past it has been 'the custom of
the’ city treasurer to draw, the
money from the Battery Park
bank semi-monthly and place it
in the .pay envelopes-'-for; the
officers. This was done^lastjSat
urday, biit when the warrarit for
the money.: was ..presented .to
Mayor Barnard for his signajtur^
he declined to sign it, st^tin^
that the city dj<i/notx^hHve- ffie
ready funds to pay^tbe offibet^s
semi-monthly, this being only ti
courtesy extended the fdrc^ fiJr
sometime past. He said farthW
that he would' be. compelled to
hold up the \;^arrant' |or:
money until the first of ; the
month-, which was-the legal .pay
day for the .police force. Some
of the officers are greatly emlb^T-
rassed by the action of the m^iyor
as they had promised paym|erits
on back bills they owed and ^also
hoeded tKe mo^^ y ,'or corrent
expenses. The mayor expressfe^
his^regrets for- the^ st?,nd«ihe ‘ bad
taken^ but saiS that he had no
other course to pursue as the
city did not have the money, and'
for that reason the payment
would be deferred .i^ntil.;tfbe tirst
of the month.
Announcement has been madi^
that there will be anotb^r- nevC
electric railroad built in thi^s
county. The new road will rui>
from Mon treat to Biltniiore and
be .parallel With tht3 .Swannanoli.
ri VerTIre suiive.'^ for J,he ne
road is completed and the capital
is ready to defray the expenses
of. the building. The- r-ight of
ways 'must be given -to tbe com*
7
pany gratis or they w^ll not build.f
It is Srtated that they can not aff
ford to pay for the right of waj^;
privilege, as the patrofiage'of the
ro^d. for. yeajrs to GomQ vWOul<y
hardly be sufRcient to defray the.
expenses of operation. For thi§!
reason' they do hot feel jdstified
to lay- out ‘ a -largB amount of
mpweyi for the right .of ;way-privi^'
leges. The road, if built, w^ould
naturally help the section through
wbicih iti^, ran' and enhance the';
» . ' V- A
valu^ of/i the pr^Dperty on botK’
si^e^bf^thfe right of way. Little^
oppositibn is expected when the
road requests the right of way
from the property owners.
Accor ding'toa state law passed
by th6 lftf§‘t^legislature the'^ ‘‘Jim
Crow’’ w’ill be put in effect
here in Asheville on the street
cars and separate apartments
on all the cars wiir be furnished
for the whites and-blacks.-’ The
law will apply to all public car
riers throughout the entire state
of North .Carolina.
Isn’t This Town
Pretty Good Town?
If Not, Why Not?
How do you like the town you live in?
Pretty fair, sort of place, isn’t it ? Otherwise you’d
move to some c^her to\vu, wouldn’t you?
But you don’t think much of this town, you say ? Well,
what’s the matter with .this town? If there’s anything

All of us live here,
and we ought to pull to
gether. i^obody living
in !Rew York or Chica
go or St. Louis or San
Francisco is going to do
any pulling FOR us.
On the contrary,
%j w
some of those cities are
doing a lot of pulling
FROM us. They not
only pull away some of , -
our besji. young men a? .
the boys gro^y xip, but
they pull away many of
our good American dol
lars, which ought to be
spent right here, where
they would do the most
good.
What is your favor-
Catalogue? Ah, so we
Now suppose, just for a change, you read your local
paper carefully, watch the advertisements, and if you don’t
. . see what you want ask the home merchant for it. Suppose
all of us trade at home a little more regularly. That ought

' -biiild-up the town we’d keep more of our boys at home.
ment of the Biltmore estate to
protect the forest and game on
the estate of George W. Vander
bilt, in the Mills River section of
Henderson county. Dr. C. A.
Schenck, head of the forestry de
partment, has deposited a check
in the Commercial Bank of Hen
dersonville for the sum of $120.
The check is made payable to the
township of Mills River, to be
used for a charitable or public
purpose; providing that by No
vember 1st, 1907, no trespassing
has occurred on the lands of
George W. Vanderbilt, in Mills
river township, from the date of
deposit to November 1st. 1907.
Payment will not be made if the
woods are fired or there is any
fishing'or hunting done on the
estate by the people of the Mills
River section. The Forestry de*
partment hope by this unique
method of offering a prize to the
people of the township to secure
their co operation and protect
the property from trespassers.

lor, of this city, the alleged biga
mist, who married a young girl
by the name of Clontz residing-in
Canton, N. C., and who hg^d a wife
living at the time, has been lo
cated. The couple eloped sev
eral weeks ago and went to Spar
tanburg where the ceremony was
performed. Shortly after' the
marriage the girl returned to her
home in Canton but Taylor-dis?-
appeared. The authorities' all
over the country were notified
of the occurrence and it is said
that they have gotten track of
Taylor and that his capture fs
expected at any time.
A gentleman who is prominent
ly identified . with, .the Farager
Company, who built the structu
ral work of the Miller concrete
hotel in this city, will be among
the'^ bidders for the property
when the court places the hotel
on sale at public auction again.
If the Farager company succeed
in getting the hotel they will com
plete' it and then lease same.
In this manner they hope to get
•out of the hole in which they are
in. ' It is stated from the same
source that the Farager company
ha'verat.least $60,000 tied up in*
the’building as it now stands.
To buy in the hotel and complete
it . would be the only way that
they could get their money back.
