ASHBVILLE DAILY CITIZEN FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY' 19 181)2. ASHEYILLE DAILY CITIZEN. Br RASDOLPB-KERS PRINTING CO The DmLt Crrmm, Democratic I published very afteraooa (except Sunday) at the fol lowing rate, itriitlr own : On Yin , . , ...I8.00 8ix Month. . 3.00 Tbibb Month.... ..... t.SO Onb Month .......... ... 60 One Week 15 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1892. Col. Faikbkoxuek is wild with de light at the prospect of baring a first class hotel in Durham. And The Citizen rejoices with Col. Fairbrother. Now send along your subscriptions to his World's Fair fund, and he will laugh again, and the great old North State will more right off all along the line. Day before yesterday a gentleman came over the Richmond and Danville road on his way to Knoxville. Without previous indication or warning, when the train emerged from the Swannanoa tunnel, the man became insane. It is supposed the length of time he had been upon the road had preyed upon his mind, and when, in broad day light be found himself plunged in thick darkness, his overwrought brain gavewa, T la Richmond aud Danville fast liue is gain ing a wonderful reputation. It seems to be ;a certainty that the bill for the free coinage of silver, will be brought to a vote in the lower house ot congress, at anv.rate. It is only a ques tion of bow far it will go. The senate ay defeat it, but if uot, the president will. It will'certainly not. become a law during tthiscongres8. Speaker ..Crisp and a majority of the democrats in the home have about determined to make it an .issue in the earning presidential tight. Tub Citizen has belore stated that it thinks this will be a mistake, but if it must come the sooner the better. And now comes a two million dollar blaze in New Orleans. The number ol destructive tires in the south at least, during the past fewinuatlis, is perhaps without precedent in the histoiy of the country. It has almost taa:, epidemic appearance. The insurance companies are very heavy losers, and about the next step taken will be a general rise in insurance rates. The south is already discriminated against in this particular, as compared with the east l-'ortuuatelv Asheville has had absolutely no ft res ol consequence for years. May this good luck continue. The decision of the supreme court ol North Carolina, as announced in This Citizen of yesterday, afhrniiiig.the legal ity ol the act of the municipality of Kal eigh in assessing benefits lor street pav ing against abutting property owners, was timely, so fur as Asueville's sticet improvements are concerned, and fixes the method adopted here as the univer sal method for the future in North Caro lina. The decision ol the court is cer tainly in harmony with ordinary ideas of equity. Nothing can be more equita ble ttliau that those most benefitted should pay most. A fiala Week. How would it do to haxe a grand gala week in Asheville sometime during the coming summer ? Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, New Orleans, and Wilmington and Charlotte, in our own state, have tried this method of attracting the attention of the general public to these cities, and the result has been most satisfactory. Not only have they proven satisfac tory in calling attention to these cities, but they have proven to be immediate successes from a financial standpoint. An intelligent gentlemen recently re turned from Wilmiugton, informs The Citizen that the people of that city were highly gratified at the outcome of their gala week last summer, looking at it from the financial results reached during the week itself, and beside and beyond this it brought thousands of people to see their city who otherwise would never have been attracted thither. It has been announced that two, at least, of the regiments of the state guard will encamp in Asheville during the sum mer. This might be made the nucleus round which an interesting series of events might be clustered, and three or four weeks might be devoted to showing to outsiders not only what Asheville is, but what it proposes to be. There neyer was a period in the history of this city when it would have made so favorable an impressiou on the visitor as it will during this summer when every kind of improvement will be in active operation. And Aaheville's name will draw more people than any town of three times its size in the southern states. Shall Asheville have a gala week ? LIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA. The Oliver oil mill at Charlotte is running its full capacity day and night, The jury of inquest held over the body of the prisoner killed at Windsor by the jailor exonerated mm ol all blame. Mr. G. W. Watts, of Durham, has contributed $5,000 to the rebuilding of the Presbyterian Orphans borne at Bar num Springs. The new gingham mill at Charlotte has gone to work. It marked a prodigous stride forward in Charlotte's maauiactunng interest. Charles A. Brackett was put in Lin colnton jail without bail to await bis trial at the next term of the superior court for the killing ot John Pollard. The store and stock of general mer chandise of J. A. Taylor, at Dunn, Har nett county, were burned, it is believed, by an incendiary. The loss is $8,000, vV.'ith no insurance. The Kerr Bag manufacturing com pany, of Concord, has about effected a ale of its United States patent right to the large manufacturing firm of Morgan Hamilton & Co., of Nashville, Tenn. The Standard says the transaction involves thousands of dollars. The Atlantic Coast line has laid the last rail upon its Fayetteville branch in North Carolina, which connects the Wil mington and Weldon and the Florence railroads at the state line between North and South Carolina.

The supreme court yesterday filed opinions in what are known as the mer chants'ipurchase tax cases. In the one of Stevenson it is said that the tax is not on inter-state dealings, but on the occupation of currying on business in this state, and graduates the tax on the amount of purchase whether made within or without the state. It does not discriminate against products ol other stales, nor does it tax the non resident or put hiiu at any disadvantage. us compared with a resident ol this state. 1 his is a privilege' tax on an oc cupation and is authorized by article fj. section 3 ol the state constitution, in ad dition to an advalorem tax on property, and it is competent tor the legislature to impose such specihe tax, graduated by the business done, and when it is uni lorm ou all pei sous in the same class ol business. 1 he act treats all in each case alike, and there is no discrimination in cither. The uower to select particu lar trades aud subject them to license lax cannot lie denied to the legislature; nor the power to tax such trudef accord ing to dillerent rules, providing the rule with retard to eacu business is uuilorm ludecu there can be, strictly speakiug, no uuilorm tax ou trades, etc., taken to gether, because they are so dissimilar that there is no practicable means ol ut riving at what would be a uuilorm tax lor all. For instance, how could a tax lie umforin between the profession ol medicine and keepers ol terries, &c. A franchise tax could be put ou some call ings, and it would uot be illegal because some other occupation was not taxed. It is within the legislative power to de- ti lie the uiilereiit classes and to bx the license tax it will require ol each class. All in the same occupation, as classified by the legislature, must be taxed alike The act provides that every mcrchuut, jeweller, &i ., shall pay a license tax on the total amount ol purchases, die. Ihis makes ua discrimination lu tavor ol or against any merchant, &c, but it taxes the business ut each alike. A UKttAT UIU1NU PLACE, How Meu Have Disappeared, Vet Remained iu New York. l-'rotn the New York World. Sonic one has told a story of a man who mysteriously disappeared from his home and haunts in this city. No inc bcr of his family and no friend saw him lor many years. And yet all that time lie lived in a back room ol a house di rectly behind his own. He knew what was goinx on in his home and saw his wife and children daily. But he went abroad at hours when the rest of the world was not astir, and escaped detec tion. He was sought lor in Europe and Asia, as well as in the remote parts oi this country, but no one dreamed ol hunting lor him in the immediate neigh borliood ol Ins own house. Another story is of a well known man of fashion who, having lost his property, went to dwell is the lower part oi the city among the business houses. When business was over and the men whom he kucw had gone home he took his evening stroll. He never went north ol Washington Sijuare and lor years was liiven up as lost. Still anoUier is told of a voung diplo mat who was well known in New York society. Business reverses sent him into retirement, and for live years he went downtown and uptown at the hours when society is engaged in sleeping or in dressing lor dinner, and he did not meet a single one of his acquaintances in all that tune. WlI.T WHITMAN, Hl 8lck Chamber Adorned With Flower l-'rora the S'ew York Herald. The Telegram is paying a very graceful tribute to the genius of Walt Whitman. Whitman is an out of doors poet, a man in love with nature in all her varying moods. He has, however, sung his last song, and the old man's lite is slowlv ebbing like the tide. The Telegram is in receipt of certain contributions the object ol which is two fold. First, to furnish Bowers with which to adorn the poet's sick chamber, that during these last tew days of his life he may be surrounded by the fra grant blossoms which have been his in spiration during many years ol hardship and struggle. Second, il a surplus re mains, as is very probable, to build some memorial as a souvenir of departed worth. These are kindly things to do, and the response shows a general and generous interest iu the matter. Walt Whitman has never made money. He has always been poor. The reward of his labors has not been a fortune but a rare fame. It is pleasant, therefore, to think that the people who have read his verses are surrounding him with the to kens of their love and admiration. It Ulvea The Newi. Prom the Transylvania Hustler Feb 18. We are pained to chronicle the death of Justice Bradley of theUnited States su preme court, which occurred last week. It has been well said: "ludiie Bradley goes to his grave amid the benedictions and with the honor ot the whole Amen can people, without an ei"eption of party, section, or interest. Anybody But Hill. From the Wayneaville Courier. Let it be Cleveland or Boies or Watter- son or any good honest man, but for the sake of everything good don't bead the ticket with a political schemer and a record like Hill s. Thai's Right. Prom the Bryaon City Timer The Asheville Citizen wants to know how much a stage line between Asheville and Salisbury would cost. It opens the Bight. "My daughter is losingTier sight," said an anxions mother, "and just on the eve of marriage, too. What shall I do?" "Let her get married, by all meani," responded the doctor; "mar riage is a regular eye-opener." A man's eyes open pretty widely, when he finds bis wife's charms disappearing. Health is the best friend of beauty, and the in numerable ills to which women are pe culiarly subject, its worst enemies. Ex perience proves that women who pos sess the best health, use Dr. Pierces Pav orite Prescription.

Blair & McDowell, 5 PATTON AVE., ASHEVILLE, N. C. It's easy enough the Ball corset. That's be cause it has coils of fine wire springs in the sides.
