The quar tette consisted of Messrs. Carpen ter, Reeves, Perkins and Paul, as sisted by Mr. Seay, pianist.

In addition to the quartette sing ing, Mr. Carpenter sang a tenor solo, Mr. Perkins rendered a solo on the cornet, and Mr. Seay played a piano selection, all of which were greeted by calls for more. Mr. Reeves aiso amused the audience with his Dutch impersonations and his faculty for imitating sounds.

A discovery of the highest impor tance as to a substitute which con fers immunity against disease was communicated to tho Academy of Sci ence of Pari.s by Professor d’Arsonval a few days ago.

Not at Suyeita Editor Citizen: I am writing you about my name being connectad with the suit in which Mr. Robert R. Reynolds, a candidate for Congress is being suied by the Snyeta Hotel at Waynesville for the sum of $171.00, as I understand it. I see by the papers in the suit that they have charged Mr. Reynolds with S58.50 for my board during my stay in Waynesville as a delegate. I want to say that the Suyeta Park people whe are suing Mif Reynolds have certanly made a mistake, and a bad mistake at that. I was never in their hotel in my life. I never took u single meal there, nor did I sleep there. While in Waynesville I stayed at tho Gordon Hotel. Very Truly Yours. J. F. Wells. Asheville, Aug. Below is a letter from J. C. Wallace, a business man of tho city of Asheville, stating that tlie charge as renderd against Mr. Reynolds for §10.50 is not correct.

I was there for three meals and one night'.s lodging.

I came Asheville for the expre.'^s pur]>osc Of investigating just what amuuut they had me charged with, and to my snrprise, I find that I was charg ed with 50. I went to Waynesville on Friday niorning, taking three meals and- spending the night at the Suyeta^ and left Waynesville Saturday morning for Asheville, and did not return to Waynesville again, and my bill should hiive been $2.00 in stead of the amount oharged, so you can redily see that in my in stance, Mr. Reynolds is overcharged $G.50, which thoroughly convinces me that he is right in not paying the amoun demanded.
