Breese was then called and delivered bis address from notes. Its publication whs requested by a motion made bv Ii. l- Carter, esq. Mnj. Breese said : Mr. Chairman Hint Gentlemen: "I take it that we are here for business and to discuss together our troubles, our fears, our hopes, and that there will be no indulgence in the spread eagle or mut ual admiration society act. it l am cor rect, then the first v.oint in tudiscusa what ails us, and tne next t- apply a remedy, ard 1 will trv as briefly as 1 en.',, to give what seems to me to be lhe bottom of all our troubles. To begin, we are sick at the stomach: down at the heel, suffering from nervous headache, swelled with engorged spleen and choked with asore throat; and with it all have lost the nerve to confess the symptoms and apply a blister; take both emetic and purge and bleed a vein We all havr a certain kind grit, but wofully 1 -ck grip and staving power. Public spirit there is, but so often misdi rected, for we have apparentl" no inter ests in common, no nomoKetieousuess, no power of concentration, and n . crys talizine welding force to bring u to getl.er.

Hotel against inn; inn against sanitarium; sanitarium against board ing house. National bank against state bank, and State bank against cross roads money-lender, and all against each other. Patton avenue calling South Main street names and South Main tell ing College street ''you are another." Real estate men delving in eacli other s bowels, but never in each other's pecu liar territory. "Ii Sunset Mountain cannot sell, he never mentions Victoria or Vanderbilt's estate. Kenilwoith Park is not on speak ing terms with Riverside. The South ern Improvement company has never heard of the Asheville Improvement and Mont ford Park stops short of the square.

"It is the same all the way through. Standpipe against teservoir; reservoir against pump; sur eon against doctor; doctor against midwife, and in the meanwhile our blessed, healthy, well born baby strangles; and the lawyers place chips on our shoulders and then fight over the fragments.

'We are further troubled witb a vault ing ambition which overleaps itself, and nil want t lie captains. Kven right here in this meeting there is a possibility that Mr. Hnstside will oppose any prop osition Irom Mr. Weststde (tearing some disadvantage) and Mr. Sweliend will be silent, and sulk. The time foe 'every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost' is passed in this town. rte llttuu in uc mi ly utrrn. i irc fJiciurc that exists must be soothed down or trc its subtle, dangerous and damnable spirit will destroy us. we must tace the situation like men and meet it and rise superior to it. although we are forced to regard it with the jealousy of genuine alarm. If a man exerts the same zeal tn keep ing up tbat he doe in trying to catch up be cannot fail. Without tbe toncb of the elbow we have not been able to keep up, and 1 leave to these gentlemen who have invited us here to show us how to catch np. I have iziven you conditions and facts as tbey strike me and write myself down as parttcepa crimmii 1 must confess my inability to sec tbe remedy, aad shrink from any suggestions. I will say though tbat manufactures, particularly tbe smaller industries, furnish elsewhere the keystone to success; whether applicable here or not is a vital question. All things though are possible to those who work, and it we can get concentration of thought and purpose, and a round robin ot every interest, great and small, joined together, we compass the end. Privates have got to win this tight, aad we mast all enlist as 'high privates in the rear rank, and il later corporals are to be made, make them, but keep them corpor als. "Tbe destiny of this town is not in the hands of cocksparrow fellows, but in your bands and mine, and whatever of work there is to do must be done by us, the hard-working, bread-winning men of the county. 'In meanwhile and as one step in this direction, let us be true to ourselves and be natural, calling an instant halt to this copying spirit of extravagance and dis play which is fastening on our vitals. Frugality and honesty, with the courage of convictions, are our character istics and inheritance. Por heaven's sake don't let ns be further beguiled into ap ing foreign follies with their Jack-a-dandy, bag-wagged breeches and craps. "As men of affairs and business men. it behooves us to set an example to our juniors, that it is better to go slow and sure than to boom ourselves; better to smoke our own pipe in one's own chim ney corner and know that we have a dollar hard by for a rainy day, than to stalk the streets in patent leathers, puff cigarette smoke in women's faces and suck silver plated walking sticks. "North arolina has iust adopted a motto. Let Asheville be the first to raise it aloft and show the young men of the State that 'tis better 'To be, than to seem to be.' " "Living; Too Fail.', Hon. H. A. Gudger was the next speaker. Said he : "One thing hereto fore overlooked in Asheville is the mat ter ot Having manufactures. I take no stock in the assertion that factories n ould have a hurtful effect. Tbe serious t (linking people of Asheville ought to vie with each other in building up these establishments in the midst of ns. First, the factories induce capital to come here; second, they bring labor here and give it employment. Just how we are to in duce these manufactures to come here with their establishments is a serious question. "The trouble with us is, I think, that we are living too fast. 1 have bad people ask me 'what does it cost to live tn Asheville?' and I have had to say tbat living in Asboville is very expensive t one undertakes to live as others live We put on too much style we live just a little beyond our means. In tbis mat ter of manufa tures we must come to gether and express ourselves freely. I heard a man approched the other day and asked to take a place on the Alder- raantc ticket, when he took occasion to curse out tbe administration and swore he wouldn't take the place lor a million dollars a year. We want to see the very best men rally to the support of Ashe ville, and then we will see her go onward and upward. Hon. John sv. Htarnea The next speaker called was Hon. John W. Starnes, who declared himself in favor of manufactories every time. Every man loved to look at nicely paved streets and flower yards, but more than these were needed Mr. Starnes wanted to hear the sound of hammer, trowel and saw. He wished he miiht hear tbe tooting of lOO whistles along the rivers and railroads here. He hoped to see some means adopted at this meeting whereby manufactories would come here. Col. Davldaoo. Col. A. T. Davidson, said he did not agree with Mr. Gudger altogether, as to living too fast. He had been a long ob server, and Asheville had always kept a little ahead of the rest of the country about her. The country around is buoy ing Asheville up, and we must "bow our backs" ktep well in advance in the march of progress. He was ready to (Continued on second page.
