It was a regular backbone stiffner, that remark of Capt. Anderson to the treacherous miners who had captured him under a flag of truce and threatened his life: "Shoot and be ." It was not an elegant remark, but it served. If Tennessee does not hunt out, arrest and punish the rioters among the miners who have been defying the law for the past week, the result will be another riot at the first opiortuiiity. At the earliest possible moment too she should put the convicts on the public roads. An article by the Hon. V. I..

Some negro nurses were on the back porch of the hotel, and he ordered them to leave, when all left eicept one. He attempted to force her oil', w hen she threw her head between his legs, raised him up, and threw him over the banis ter. He fell upon a pile of stone twenty feet below, but, marvelous to te'l, no bones were broken. The negro girl was from Winston, and soon soon left for her home. Mr. Jordan was attending to bis duties this morning but was very sore." The report of Grand Sire ftushec of Raleigh, to be submitted to the Sover eign Grand Lodge, at Portland.

A gentleman tells the Raleigh corres pondent of the Charlotte Observer that never in his lite did he sec S. Otho Wilson so "sick" as he was the day after the now fnmonsly disastrous Third party State convention. He added that for the first time in his life he actually lelt a touch of sorrow for ilson. A Raleigh telegram savs : "John H. Williamson (colored) has publicly an nounced himself as a candidate fur Con gress in this district, and says he will tick to his purpose. His platform is the payment of $300 for each ex-slave half to the slave and half to the owner." Julian S.

Democrats, are ton silly enough to sell your birthright to a party headed by a man who is not surpassed by Foraker, ToM Reed, or Ben Harrison in bating the Souths. is THE TATTLER. some Things He Bees And Hears Wortb Talking About. There is one thing about this bootblack question that will not be denied the bootblacks themselves arc nuisances. Vm may walk down South Main street, the most popular stamping ground for the little Arabs, as often as you will, yet you will scarcely ever make the walk with out being jostled aud perhaps tripped up bj one of them, who is dodging from an enraged brother in black, the latter ol whom does his verv best to knock the tantilizer in the head with his box. II that don't constitute a nuisance 1 would like to kuow what does. . But there are several sides to this ((tiestion. Suppose these young offenders should be fined $10 or some such sum. when taken before Recorder Miller what would it amount to? The fine couldn't be naid. and the boy would have to be put on the city's "free list." The citv has no place in which it can work children, and the imposition ol the heavy fine would just amount to ten days' board and room furnished. Now, whether it would be best to puisne the this course I don't know. But I believe it is fact that it is a rare thing for a bov to appear before the Recorder a second time, even with the line at $1 or $2. Here's another thing about it: The boy can certainly come nearer making an honest living by shining shoes than he can by doing nothing. The polishing ol lootwear is surely an honest calling it not as dignified as some others, There is one way of dealing with the bootblacks, and thai is to license them. 1 suggested that a long time ago, and il 1 remember correctly the Board of Alder men came very near putting a license tax on this nartictilar snccics ol c'tizcn. Li cense the bootblacks, and make each one feel that he can hold his badge as long as he will pay for it and does not com mit a breach of the peace. When he docs the latter, take his badge away Irom him. I'nder this system it would be no trouble to report them to the olliiers. as the license badge ol each hootulack would have a number on it. The city authorities mav come to this some time. ust at present such seemingly small things as this cannot be given proper consideration, but when it comes to making a present of $13,200 to a pet electric light company well, there are lots of things that are to be explained in the "hereafter." Republicans rarely make successful Prohibitionists. It is so difficult for them to think of anything excent a Re publican ticket when voting time comes. If Manager Sawyer desires to make himself everlastingly remembered, he should make it a rule, to be strictly fol lowed always, that the curtain of the Grand opera house should rise promptly at 8:30 o'clock. It will be a sort of up-hill business for awhile, but the lime will come when he will be called blessed by every theatergoer in Asheville.

Doit Sentenced for Flfteeu Yearn From the Newton Enterprise. There is an old lady living near Paint Rock who has had a dog in an old corn crib for the last eight years for killing her chickens.

New ork Herald. lrliuarieH mid Convention Dimtok Tin; Citizi-n: I sec that the Asheville township executive committee has ordered that piinturv elections be held in till the precincts of the township on Saturday, the 27th ins!. New, this seems to be in direct contra vention of the order of the county execu tive committee as issued by Chairman I'lirtnan some weeks ago. 1 take it tli.il Mr. I'urmnii and his committee, seeing that the priinarv eUilion system as carried out two years ago was a cheat and a fraud upon the people, did not care to ictain the svsti in any longer and hence suggested the holding of township conventions alter the old plan, as bv common consent the new system was co in kin lie I as moie objectionable than the old. It is a notoiiniis fact which cannot be gainsaid that new arts and methods ol cheating were practiced two years ago which never had and never could have entered into the old system. 1 take it that the si illed manipulators with the experience gained two years ago would now be able to reduce their arls to much greater pel lection than at that time when thev succeeded in some cases in setting aside the man who had received the largest number of votes in the pri maries. Will anv one deny this? Hut, mind you, my objection docs not lie against the people expressing their choice of catididatesiu primary elections, but against .lain;; cheated out of their choice by the smart fellows who manip ulate the conventions as was done in the only instance when we have tried the new system. Vt hen you are looking tur the cau.-es which breed dissatialacuon in our ranks and which threaten the disintegration ol our pari v just stop a moment and think on the above a little and sec if you can't find a microbe in it. Why hold primary elections in Asheville township when nothing ol the sort is contem plated in other township? Will it not breed confusion and give chance lor complaint?

The committee was guided in its ac tion bv a risolution adopted at the last democratic county convention, which re quir:d that all delegates must be chosen by primaries and not by mass meeting The committee thought thev had no right to disregard that action ol the convention assembled.
