MPROVEMENT OF ROADS BaD BLOOD IN WILSON. I.VNCHIISti SENSATION TIIKEATENKD THERE. IS TOM BIGBEE ON THE RISE RAILWAY TRACKS ARK DER WATER. IS- A civi lized community wants roads on which light vehicles can move rapidly and the heaviest loads be carried. The commer cial value of a road depends on its power to save time and money in transporta tion. The speaker instanced Iiattery Park as showing the importance ot curves in ascent anu tor avoiding mc waste of washouts. The destructive force of rushing water as shown on many of Ashcvillc's streets, sav, for one, South Main north of the bridge, and just south ol it, as ottering an example of what water coining in from side cuts nnd rising from springscan do for roads left in the hands of men who do not know how to drain or why they should drain. Men may learn from books that macadam is the best road, anrl how to bin til it. but may never learn just where a bit of road must be made ncr cct to he o anv account, ami wncrc for miles the merest attention to super fii-i.il rlrainaire and the slighest gravel covering may suffice. Not in books will thev find that for covering of walks and the surface of roads in liunconitie, our quartz rock, ground, would tumisli per haps our Dcst material. ior may iiicy be told -to go to Hiltmore for a few drainage tile for the desperate places. Improvement in roans must come, as so much improvement in other things does, from above, l lie men wno whik the dirt road lrom necessity are not to otles who will ask for sidewalks, 1-or years the suggestion has fallen on ileal ears, and will until men of education plan and rlo tor the walkers. The speaker asked if it would not have been better to have laid out a perlcctly new street from the depot rather fhan plow up a fairly good street like Depot street. This would have been more satisfactory to sonic of the people than to have their trees taken up, Knees removed nnd houses injured. It a glance of the eye counts for anything a belter grade, shorter line could have been found going tlirougti lands more iikc counu v than town, where streets must be cut some day. When half built up other thiiiL'S beside the best route to the depot will come in, nnd so Asheville will never have a "best route. Col. Hatch's ideas gummed up were: First, good grades. Next, direction lor shortness. As all important, drainage. A wet road connot be a good one. 11 A Tobucco Barn Ih Burned and Tli i' n Murder Is Threatened bv FrieudH of the Man who Was turned Out. Wilson, N. C, April l().-Not long . . . i-.i. r since Mr. C. A. xoung, to save a ioi oi road fencing, had two gates built across the road about foui miles from town, on aeh side of his large farm. This greatly incensed some people in the neighborhood of his faun, and the gates were torn down. This occurred repeatedly, and notices were posted warning him the ist time, ten days ago, that if they were rebuilt some of his property would be burned and his life endangered. The gates were promptly rebuilt, and on Friday night of last week his tobacco pack-house was burned, entailing a loss of $12,000. No one knows who did the dastardly deed, of course. It seems that some parties were suspected, for on last Sunday night about 10 o'clock a man rode upto the house of Mr. O. W. Spivey, an estimable fanner and citizen of the county, who lives two miles lrom the larm ol Mr. Voting, anil handed mm a folded paper. A STHANOi; NOTICK. On opening it Mr. Spivey found it to read as follows: "0. W. Spivey You, wc believe, know all about the meanness that is going on in your neighborhood, and now for the last time we want to warn you, and now sav positively if any more gates arc cut down or property ot any kind damaged or anybody injured in any way bodily, according to threats made here tofore, wc tell you, not a hundred of us, as you say you are, but only twenty-one, have entered into a doov and laucii an oath to go to your house and hang you bv the neck till dead, and six or more of i-mir Iriemls we will treat the same way Now you can take heed in time.

Moiiile, Ala., April 13.-The Tom Bigbee river at Dempolis, Ala., is rising at the rate of six inches an hour and great acres of low lands planted with corn or cotton are under water. The rise from 6 o'clock last night is eight feet. The tivcr is within seven and a half feet of the high water f 1874- and will probably pass that point today. The Alabama and Great Southern rail way track is submerged near Epes sta tion, and the trains of that road are us ing the East Tennessee road to Merid ian, Mississippi. Westpoint, Miss., is surrounded by water and is practically an island. Every railroad is washed out and nearly all the wires are down. Every bridge in the country is washed away nnd much stock is lost. The hotels in Westpoint are crowded with water-bound passen gers. The first through train for Mo bile on the M. and 0. went out Monday night, but the rain began falling again and it looks now as it the Hood wouia be greater than before.

The house committee on appropriations today lis tened to an appeal by representative Allen, of Mississippi, in favor of his reso lution asking an immediate appropria tion of $50,000 to alleviate the condition of the flood sufferers in Mississippi and Alabama. Teleerams received by Mr, Alien from Columbus, Miss., state that over 100 persons were drowned in one county, and already sixty bodies have been recovered from the waters while many others can be seen floating on the surface. At the suggestion ol Mr. lloi man the resolution was retcrred to a sub-committee which will take prompt action upon it. The secretary ot war will provide 1,000 tents for the homeless people.

Lastly, brains must go into all and over all that belongs to a road. Col. Thos. 11. Long made a forcible speech, showing the importance ol and the necessity for good roads. Having closely studied the subject whilst journev inir over six of the southern states in the discharge of his duties in the postotlice department he instanced several hue roads, the result of the influence of wise nnd nublic spirited new comers in this western mountain country. He regard ed the question as of more importance to the people of Buncombe and Asheville than nnv of the tiniionnl questions. Mai. T. C.

About sixty pnn ters were at work on the upper floor beside a large number of employes other parts ot the building.

The fire was confined to the L. of the main building and the principal damage is from water. The valuable presses on the lower tloor are thought not to De se riously damaged.
