NEWS NOTES FROM THE MOUNTAIN
METROPOLIS OF INTEREST TO
NEWS READERS.
From Our Regrular Oorrespondent.
The “Jim Crow” law in effect
in this city since the first of the
month is working without a
hitch. The intermingling of the
two races on street cars of this
city was objectionable to Ashe*
villians and visitors alike (espe
cially on warm summer days.
Before the law went into effect
the negroes seemed to take a
pleasure in taking advantage of
their prerogative to sit with the
whites and managed to occupy
as much space as possible to the
incoavenience of all of the pas
sengers of that race. The law as
it is now enforced compels a sep
aration of the two races on the
street cars and all other common
carriers in the state and the
writer has observed with satis
faction that all parties concerned
are trving to conform to the
xj r J
rules without any trouble to the
conductors on the street cars.
Another law that is a boon to
suffering owners of flower beds
and gardens has been effective in
Asheville and Buncombe county
since April 1st. The law as
passed by the last state legisla
ture, having been introduced by
Representative Zebulon Weaver
from Buncombe, and to be ex
pressed in the language of the
street means “let your chickens
play in their own back yard.”
Your correspondent has noticed
In a number of state papers, in
cluding the Sylvan Valley News,
the efforts on the part of the ed
itors to convince the people that
it was the proper thirg to keep
the chickens fenced in so that
they could not run around pro
miscuously and become a com
mon nuisance by scratching up
everything within reach of their
claws. The new domestic fowl
law is the first of its kind ever
passed in this state and is only
effective in Buncombe county,
but it is a certainty that the law
would be welcomed as a state law
by* a majority of the people in
North Carolina.
The records at the Asheville
post office show that during 12
months ending March 31st there
were $58,707 worth of stamps
sold from that office, and that
for the same length of time last
year the receipts from stamps
were $51,889. These figures
show a gain of $6,818, 6r 11| per
cent, which is most gratifying to
Postmaster Rollins, for it means
that the increase will be figured
in the allowance of the postmas
ter’s salary in the future.
Asheville has a number of sani
tariums and hospitals, but the
latest institution of this kind to
be talked of for this city is a
branch sanitarium for the re
nowned “Keeley institute” for
the treatment of those addicted
to the alcohol and morphine hab
its. A representative of the
Keeley institute of Greensboro
was in the city last week looking
for a building suitable for the es
tablishment of an institution in
Asheville, and it has been learned
that he has secured a'" building
suitable for the purpose and will
shortly open up for business.
The Keeley treatment is of well
known fame and thc^sandsof ex
patients cured of ‘I'Wit troubles
vouch for its permanency. Ashe
ville, with its excellent climatic
conditions is well adapted for an
institution of this kind, as pleas
ant surroundings is one of the
essential features of the Keeley
treatment, so it is stated.
The question of anew jail for
Buncombe county has been set
tled by the county commissioners
and it has been decided to build
a §40,000 jail on the lot on which
stands the old jail, and to have it
connected with the court house
by a sub-way. '-It is understood
that the commissioners will con
vert the plot in the rear of the
court house into a public park
and have it enclosed with an iron
fence. The ground around the
court house will also be beauti
fied.
Your correspondent is in
formed that since the Toxaway
Hotel Co. has forfeited its right
to operate the Sapphire resorts,
that evidence is being taken in
Atlanta by the Toxaway Hotel
Company in the suit brought
against it by its various credit
ors. The Hotel Company, it is
understoood, is fighting every
inch of the ground, claiming that
it is not subject to the laws in
bankruptcy nor committed any
act of bankruptcy. It is further
stated that the Toxaway Com
pany, owners of the hotels in the
Sapphire Country, are pushing
matters so that the claims can be
settled and the hotels opened for
this season's business. .

The livelong day Marcello rode
The mountain path that Dorathy
showed,
By glen and streamlet winded still
Where stunted laurel hid the rill.
They mig-ht not choose the lowland
road
For the heirs were all fibroad.
Who, fired with hate and thirst of
prey,
Had scarcely failed to bar their way.
Oft on the wandering heirs, from
crown
Of some tall clifT Marcello and Do
rathy both looked down.
On wing of jet, from his repose
In the deep heath, the woodcock rose;
Sprung from the laurel the timid deer
Waited not for the hunter, near.
Up the mountain-side our path began
As old Dunn's Rock o’?r eyes did scan
Standing out like a giant man.
The shadow of the Tenessee Bald
Fell across French Broad to Connes-
tee falls.
From the Double Springs down the
northern way
Big Bear Wallow creek goes splash
ing away
As Marcello and Dorathy sing their
loveers’ lay.
At present we are not living in a
tower,
But spending many a happy hour
In our little log cabin in the lane.
Spring has come with its Api-il
showers,
’Midblossoms sweet anti laurel i)ovvei*ii.
We do not dread to tell our ;ove
Of husband and wife a d <air (t
above.
Up through green cove we

From Texas.
Being born in Transylvania coun
ty, N. C., and taking the News I
thought I would write a few lines,
as I have many kinfolks in that
county, though it has been a long
time since I was there. Almost 18
years ago I left there with my
parents who moved to Habersham
county, Georgia, and stayed there
two years, then moved to Pickens
county, Georgia, near the little
town of Talking Rock. I lived
there until I came to Texas three
years ago, and have been here in
Hiint county ever since I came back.
I came to Texas in the spring of
1901 and stayed 8 months and went
back to Georgia and stayed till the
fall of 1903 and came back and have
made this my home. I went back
to Georgia in the summer of 1906
on a visit and enjoyed my trip very
much. I am in the northern part
of Texas, near the city of- Green
ville, county seat of Hunt county,
with a population of about 15,000
inhabitants. We have in our city
five public schools, four colleges,
two business colleges, one female
college and churches of all denomi
nations—ic fact a modern city up-
to-date with nearly all kinds of
factories. There are nine railroads
leading out of our city, which
gives us connection with all the
large cities. I think this is a fine
country. You can raise almost
anything here that can be raised
anywhere, and can do so with much
less labor. I have farmed here two
years and I have my first day’s
walking to follow the plow. All
work with farm machinery is done
by riding—no one has to walk. We
have no hills here, no stumps, no
ditches, nothing but prairie land.
You can see for miles nothing but
the broad prairie.
Well, boys, you ought to come
out and go hunting with me and
help me kill jack rabbits, evolves,
kiotes, prairie chickens, deer, ante
lope and lots of other game.
I think I will make Brevard a
visit this summer as I have a gocd
many kinfolks there. I noticed in
the News today that my father, J.
McD. Wilson, is visiting there. I
'\^ish I could te there with him.
‘ Well, I guess I' had better ring
off. If I see this in print I will
write again and describe this coun
try more fully.
With best wishes to the News I
am Walter Wilson.

had so seriously affected my right
lung,’’ writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of
Rural Route 1, Geoigeiown, Tenfi.,
“that I coughed continuously night
and day and the neighnorrs’ predic
tion—consumption—seeuied inevi
table, until my husband brought
home a bottle of D^*. King’s New
Discovery, which in my case proved
to be the only real cough cure and re
storer of weak, sore lungs.” When
all other remedies fail, yoy may still

“When my friends thought I was
about to take leave of this world, on
account of indigestion, nervousness
and general debiiity,” writes A. A.

when it looked as if there was no
hope left, I was persuaded to try
Electric Bitters, and I rejoice to say
they are curing me. I am now doing
business again as of old, and am
still gaining daily.” Best tonic med
