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 let’s all wrong, get to- ite book?. The Mail Order thought! . gether and right it. 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 . . . to help make thi^ a better town. r .: And maybe if we’d keep more of our money at home to ' -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. L. R. D.

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.
