There was not a large attendance upon

were very much interested in the object of
the meeting.
Prof. M. L. King was called to the
chair and Capt. T. W. Patton was asked
to explain the object of the meeting. He
said that in the general awakening on
the subject of good roads throughout
the United States, North Carolina was
not willing to be left behind. That in

on the 19tb, Buncombe wanted to be
represented and that the delegates ap

J. H. LAW,
35 and 37 Fatton Avenue. Asheville, N. C
Resolutions were called for and
I'atton offered the following:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that very urgent need exists for
better roads throughout this country,
and as the present Legislature is not
calculated to' effect the improvement
which the circumstances demand, there
fore "Resolved, That the delegates appoint
ed by the County Commissioners to the
Road Congress at Raleigh be earnestly
requested to attend the same, and after
consultation with delegates from other
portions of the State to urge upon the
Legislature the adoption of such legisla
tion for the whole State as the Congress
may agree to recommend;
'Resolved, That in case no generallaw
for the State is deemed ad
visable, that the delegates from
this county be instructed to consult
with the Senator and Representatives
from this county, and endeavor to se
cure the passage of a law giving the
County Commissioners 01 nunconiDe
county the power tosubmit the question
ot issuing bonds to tne people ot tne
county, in amount deemed proper,
with the proceeds ot which roads may
be built;
Resolved, That this meeting recom
mend stronulv tlie establishment in each
school district a branch of the National
Leo true for good roads, and each person
here present pledges himself to exert his
influence in promoting the same."
Mai. vv. H. Malone urged the necessit3'
of prompt and persistent action by the
delegates. J. K. Dubose thought this the
most important meeting held in the
county for years. Dirt roads would not
do; we must have permanent roads 01
macadam. There are millions of pounds
of tobacco waiting for a thaw and when
it comes the roads will be well mgn im
possible. For the money needed to build
permanent roads bord the county; use
convicts for necessary grading, and the
improved condition of things will be
worth millions ot dollars to tne people.
Dr. H. B. Weaver endorsed the general
plan for improved roads.
W. U. Haueliteling said tne omections
of outside capital and visitors to Bun
combe county were almost wholly con
fined to the bad condition ot the roads.
He told of the immense value of good
roads in communities visited by him.
T. R. Ransom gave the meeting the
benefit of his early experience as a road
overseer, and advocated the enlistment
of the hearty sympathy and support of
the farmers.
Captain Patton urged the importance
of personal endeavor in securing the
mucli desired results. I . . startles ana
Dr. L. B. McBrayer spoke to the resolu
tions, and after an amendment I included
above ) they were adopted.
The following resolutions were also
adopted :
Resolved. That Mr. I. Lv. Kan kin, as
chairman of the County Commissioners.

Cheesborough as additional delegates,
all of whom be urged to atteno.
Resolved, That the delegates to the
Road Conirress aooointed from this
county be empowered to confer with the
members ot the Legislature trom liun-
come and endeavor to secure special road
legislation in the event 01 a failure to se
cure general legislation adapted to our
special needs.

Patrolman Nolond Elred
cnas. XV. uoodlake.
John J. Noland, a patrolman on the
city police force, was shot early this
morning by Chas. W. Goodlake, who,
up to a week ago. was employed as a
special on the police force.
Patrolman W. B. Wild tells the fallow
ing story of the shooting and the events
leading up to it :
"About midnight last night Goodlake
fired his pistol as he passed the square.
Noland heard the shooting, and started to
arrest the man who created the disturb
ance. He followed Goodlake to a house
on Brick street, and there arrested and
searched him, finding no weapon on his
person. Subsequentevenls, however, indi
cate that the pistui was given to mm oy
aotne one before he left the house.
"Goodlake came along quietly, and
Noland brought him into headquarters,
where there was a fire, it being Noland 's
intention to cuard Goodlake until morn
ing, dislikinsr to lock up an old member
of the force.
"Goodlake had been drinking for some
time. After sitting in headquarters for
a while, he asked Noland why he did not
lock him (Goodlake) up. He repeated
the question, and Noland arose, saying
as he did so, that if nothing else would
do he would lock the man up,
"I turned to get the lantern and heard
a nistol shot. -Looking around i saw
Goodlake on the floor with a pistol in
his right hand, and Noland on him,
strucclinc to take the pistol from hi
assailant. 1 caught Goodlake's left hand
and lust then a second shot was tired
In a moment more we had Goodlake un
der control and he was locked up.
The first shot fired went through No-
land's thick overcoat colhir on the right
side, entered bis shoulder, ranged around
on the back to the shoulder blade, where
it stopped. The second shot imbedded
itself in the wall. Noland went to Dr. L
B. McBrayer's office, where the bullet
was extracted and the wound dressed.
It is not a serious hurt.
Goodlake is in the city prison, where
he will remain until bond is furnished.

A Hnxiiesllou From The t ".
A.-The Hucksters.
Editor The Citizen : Seeing an ac
count of our little Scottish gathering in
your edition of the 10th inst. has en
couraged me to send the facts connected
with the Asheville and Thermal Belt
railway.
It wasorganized here in the mountains
and the charter procured from the last
Legislature on February 19, 1891.
Since that time 1 had no success in my
efforts to raise capital North until mu
tant trip.whicb occurred lately .when I suc
ceeded in inducing a responsible company
to make tne tonowingoner, viz : l nat
if the counties through which the road
would run would subscribe the sum ot
$200,000 dollars, to be paid alter the
road was built and the cars running on
schedule time, they would beg;in to build
the road at once.
Anyone looking over the map will see
at once the advantage this would be to
Asheville. It would probably stir up our
Tennessee neighbors to extend the road
on to Bristol, making a through line
from the Seaboard to the West. Ashe
ville will soon be in need of the fine
timber and building stone of this uncx
plored section, and the lOu.OOO norsc
power of the Broad river that is now
wasted, would be utilized in woodwork
ing and other industries and give em
ployment to many, besides opening up
some grand scenery to the tourist, as
well as the health restoring climate of
the Thermal Belt.
If the citizens of Buncombe county
would subscribe S100,000, we, in poorer
counties, will do our share. It would be
done by 30-year bonds, and the taxes
on the railroad would ncarlv pay the
interest.
1 write this with the hope that you
will use your influence to wake up the
people to their best interests.

SHUT OFF THE GAS.
Tue Supply of tne Natural Grow
ing Small.
Finulav, O., Jan. 14-. Thecity natural
gas trust has shut off the supply of gas
of all the glass factories in the town.
The trustees gave notice that the com
panies could have thirty days in which
to change to oil or some other kind ot
fuel, and all except three of the eighteen
companies paid no attention to it.
They claim thev were induced to come
to Fitidlay by the offers of free natural
gas for fuel, and that the city cannot
lawfully take the gas away from them.
A large number ot suits will probably rc
suit.
CRUSHED TO DEATH.
The Market.
Eiutok Tin-: Citizen: Will you please
allow me a small space in your valuable
paper to make an amendment to the
huckster's ordinance drawn up by the
big six.
They have gone to the c.xikiisc of
building a City market and causing extra
tax upon the good people of Asheville
I deem it necessary to say that it the
Aldermen pass the ordinance read at last
meeting there will still be more taxes
upon the people. Where is the trucker
that will rent a stall it he is allowed to
peddle bis own truck anywhere he wants
lor I would simply suggest that they
pass an ordinance forcing all vegetables
to the market house ( wit h t he exception ot
potatoes) within a half mile of the
court house, and all truckers and farmers
making a specialty of the same, or
chicken peddlers, or dealers, to the mar
ket, or what is known as market square
to sell his line of goods and charge the
market square men, or those that won't
rent a stall, a small tax per load as may
be aerced on by the Board, with the ex
ception of those that sell to the huck
sters inside the market house. By com
plying with the above they will certainly
rent all the stalls in the market.
