It was just four weeks exactly from yesterday until the time for the munici pal election. At that time a Mayor, -ur Aldermen and six members of the Advisory com mittee are to be elected by the voters of Ashevilie. Not in many year has there been as little general talk over this important event as there is this year. Bat they do say that the leaven that is to affect the whole lump has already put in and is now-working. The number of candidates is not un reasonably large, and from them can be selected a ticket that will .not give its kinsmen office, nor hold snap meetings. The biggest piece of political news Tub Citizen has to give its readers today is the fact that Mayor Charles D. Blanton intends to put an "ex" in front of bis title he will not seek a nomination for a third term. This is a fact. Mayor NORTH CAROLINIAN NAMED TELEPHONE 180. BON MABCHE. NEW CORSETS FOR EASTER.

Under no consideration, he said, would he allow bis name to go be fore a convention or primary. 1 bat is emphatic enough, isn't it f Bat this deter, ination to give up the office would not keep the Mayor from feeling a lively interest in the aldermamc ticket, would it r A local politician, who knows the working of politics in Ashevilie like a book, said to Thk Citizen today that Ibis election would find more tactions in the field than has ever been seen here, and all on account of some of the offices that will be at the disposal of the Board f Aldermen. The candidates known so far areChas. T. Rawls, AldcrmuD T Charles Starnes tnd Alderman J. Hamp. McDowell Mr. McDowell's caudidacy will be news to many, but the poli tician referred to tells The Citizen that Mr. McDowell is developing; strength wonderfully. J. K. Karikin and T. W. Patton have also been mentioned for the mayoralty. For the city tax collectorship taere will, of course, be federal candidates. One will be the present incumbent, N. A Reynolds. The friends of the present treasurer. I. E. Kankin, will desire bis re appointment, while the friends of . E. LiCKcrson win au inc same i r wicir "iv- orite. There will be several candidates for the attorneyship, and this will add to the interest in the contest. 1 hese three offices will be filled by the Board.

For the Second ward tbere s Alderman B. Baird, who says he does not particularly covet the prize. but would take it if offered, of which be says he has been notified by a number of citizens of bis ward. Beside Dr. Baird, J. H. Tucker, J. E. Dickerson and Dr. G. W. Purcfoy have been spoken ot. (.apt. Jas. P. Sawyer, W. H. Penland and per haps more have been suggested for the Third ward, while F. Stilteleather and W. B. Gwvn are among those who have been mentioned as Fourth ward represen- tativ- s. So far there have been uo suggestions as to the six members of the Advisory commtaittee who are to be elected to succeed tbe present members holding those positions. Mr Cnmmingi said in the council room yesterday that he was not seeking a rcnominat ion. "But," he added, "if they elect me they'll just have to elect me. The members of the police force, wbo depend upon the Board for their jobs. will also take a hand and tbe contest. once it gets a start, will be a lively one. The ball will stait rolling when tne city Democratic executive committee holds its first meeting, which will be some time this week. EntertalnlBK Exhibition est tne "V. M. C A- Last BvenlnK- An audience, which completely filled the chairs on three sides of the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium was present last evening to greet the gymnasts who have been working; at bodv-building for the past three months. Tbe entertainment, last ing about an hour, was liberally ap plauded. Various movements of skill and strength were performed and in most cases the young men showed that they knew how to control their move ments to advantage. Tbe program was opened by the ap pearance of a squad of performers on the horizontal bar under the leadership of E. S. Dukes. The others were E. C. Sawyer, J. S.James, Roy Williams and E.Gudger, all of whom acquitted themselves cred itably. High kicking came next, and a standing kick of seven feet was made by Tracy Belote. John Young was next with a kick of six feet and ten inches. J. C. Hallock, E. S. Dukes. J. S. James, J. W. Young and E. C. Sawyer executed a dumb bell drill, with tne nrst named as leader. The movements were weil done and generally in good time. Theodore Sumner twirled his baton in a style that would have done credit to any drum major and received liberal ap plause. The parallel bnrs were acted upon by Messrs. Sawyer, Dukes, James, McElroy, Williams and Belote in graceful and easy manner, which took well with the au dience. Perhaps the most taking feature of the evening was the mat work, in which the whole class participated, under the di rection of Tracy Belote. Messrs. Sawyer, Gurlger and Dukes did some difficult work on the rings. The last two contests of tbe evening brought tbe enthusiasm to a. high pitch. In tbe toe-wrestling contests Williams appeared against Dukes, James against Belote and Hallock against McElroy, and contested for the best two in tbree falls while the friends of each cheered their favorites. Williams, James and Hallock proved winners. In the pin running McElroy beat Sny der, James beat Hallock and Dukes beat EBK1 ALKXANUKR MINISTER TO GREECE, JA Namber of ConsalH Nsined far Important Posts An Ohio Man Gels tne Liverpool Plant Otzaer Mlnlsiera.

Mrs. Fitzpatrick was elected vice-pres- dent; Bars. Burroughs, secretary, ana Mrs. Barnard, treasurer. The business meeting then adjourned and was followed bv exercises in memory of Miss lennie Casscdav. the founder of the Flower mission work, who died in Louisville on the eighth of February. A.

After the eggi were gath ered, all returned to the lawn at the bouse, where some time was spent in games and sports, after which supper was served.
