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. .

Com. = 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 paced. 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. Greenville, Texas.
