NORTH CAROLINA FOLKS.
TUESDAY. APRIL. 25. 1893."
Pare men with clean bands will save
Aabeille; none others need apply. The
Subsidized Gazette.
This is a. charge, not straight forward
bat veiled in innunendo, that the Demo
cratic ticket has dishonest men on it.
Do the candidates on the citizens' ticket
endorse this kind of a campaign?
The ratification meeting in the court
house last night showed lack of interest,
and enthusiasm as was clearly seen. No
rushing and filling seats as was expected
by the suporters of the aldermanic can
ditates. The Subsidized Gazette.
Not even the proof-reading of this is
correct. There was as much enthusiasm
of its kind in last night's meeting as in
that of the mass meeting; and the crowd
was at least one-toarth larger.
"The largest portion ot the best cle
ment of Asheville's population, irrespec
tive of party, have joined hands to down
ring rule and restore to the city a wise
administration."
Now when was the subs dized Gazette
chosen to declare who are our
"best citizens ?" A little modesty.
a little self restraint, gentlemen of
the subsidized Gazette, would be a fit
thing just at present.
"It 'the present set of city officials have
not given us a careful, nrudent, consci
entious administration,' what guarantee
have we that a set chosen by their in
fluence will?"
Thus the subsidized Oazette which
offers no proof of its assertion. More
over, the subsidized Gazette misquotes
Tub Citizen. We said "the preseut set
of city officials, a majority of them," the
fact being that Aldermau Starnes was
one of the minoritv th-it voted nearly
always for the best interests of the city.
Workinjmen, do you want another
era of idleness and consequent hard
times? If you do not. vote the Reform
ticket in the aoprtiaching municipal elec
tion. Capitalists, and others who have
money to invest have their eyes upon
Asheville, and if the rinr rule is contin
ued, not a dollar will thev place here.
Gazette.
This is the plea of the demagogue. The
office seeker who made that kuows that
his election cannot be a guarantee ot
good times; knows that hard times will
come to the best, the most economical,
the most prudent of governments.
Is the ticket put out as the result, in
the main, 01 the primary of Saturday an
earnest of the intention of the straight
out Democrats to reform our citv gov
ernment ? It we may judge by the rec
ord of the Democratic candidate for
mayor as recently printed in a review of
the two years' work of the two Boards
it is. Por what do we find ? We find
the present Mayor opposed at almost
every step by Alderman Starnes; we find
the latter on the right side of almost all
of the questions on which Mayor Blan
ton was on the wrong side; we find him
too, one of the hardest working mem
bers of the Board and so regarded by all
his associates.
ALONG THE HIWASSEE.
Rowland Howard on Uoraeback
Editor The Citizen: Your corres
pondent returned from Graham county
to Andrews on Thursday April 13, and
next day rode down Valley Hirer valley
to tne cnarming town ot Alurpny, six
teen miles below Andrews.
Murphy is the present terminus of the
Ducktown branch of the R. and D. rail
road, and also of a narrow guage road
connecting the town with Atlanta and
Knoxville.
Tbe city is nnely located at tne junc
tion of Vallev river with the Hiwassee
the fine court house and the main por
tion of the town lieing on an elevated
tongue of land between the two
rivers. The newly built portion
of the citv stands on the east
ern side of Valley river and is called
Hast Murphy.
Tbe nver and mountain scenery
around Murphy is beautiful. As a busi
ness centre tor the future, tne site is in-
vitinsr: but the people seem not to appre
ciate the grand opportunity. When told
that one citizen of the town could lav his
bands on $30,000 in cash, besides valua
ble lands in the county, the writer won
ders why steps are not taken to erect
factories at Murphv. The monied men
here could revolutionize the county if
thev would put their thousands
woolen mills, and other manufacturing
enterprises, instead ot into much land
One of tbe wan-s of Murphy is a hotel
The Drummers is the largest and is
nicely kept, but too small for the town.
Beautiful Girl is said to be the meaning
of tbe Indian word iliawassce, as ap
plied to the larger of the two rivers
which flow into one at Murphy. A ride
of 16 miles up the Hiawassee unfolds an
ever-changing panorama ot gentle and
charming scenery which well repavs
the tourist. omc hve mil. s above
Murphy, Peachtree Creek, with its
b autiful vallev, opens u view nf
nianv miles east ward to the Nantahala
mountains. Two miles further up the
river Suddeth's farm is reached, known
as tbe "Mission," where Hum prey Posey
taught tbe C hero nee Indians seventy
five years ag . A pear tree which he
planted still blooms and bears on the
soot where the mission was established.
The canal along the river bank
where Posey's mill stood, is still open;
and a son of the man who operated that
corn mill for eight vears, is now clerk of
Clay county Superior court. Oldcitizens
here who remember Humphrey Posey,
can tell many things about him and the
Indians whom be taught.
J- C Moore, who was born in 1811,
knew htm well, and can tell you about
tbe lawsuit between Posey and Brown
low. They had a warm religious contro
versy in which severe personalities were
used. Posey was a Baptist and Brown
low a Methodist preacher. Posey's
friends brought a suit against Brownlow
for libel, in tbe court at Franklin, and
gaine their case. Tbe officer went to
the church where Brownlow preached
to"collect tbe amount of the penalty,
and levied on his borse. Brownlow re
moastrated against his borse being
taken, but to no purpose. So Brownlow
aid : "Take tbe horse and go, or be
tried to make m. Baptist ot me by falling
down in tbe river."

Toney Dudley died at his home, in
Northampton county recently, aged
1U8.
It is said that the Dukes of Durham
pay at the rate of over $50,000 per
month buying over $12,000 worth of
cigarette stamps each week, or $2,000
per day.
Monroe Enquirer: A stranger ap
peared in Mr. I. R. Simpson's store last
Pridav afternoon and noticed a pine
apple Iving on the show case. He exam
ined it carefully, and turning to Mr.
Kind ley i-i all the innocencv of a typical
greenhorn, said : ''Mister, where in the
name ot goodness did you get these big
nguu sets.
Wilmington Star: A Wilmington tele
graph operator was talking over the
wires with an unknown operator in
Ric'imund. Finally, the former said :
You are no gentleman." Ouick as
lightning Richinonl replied, "I know it;
1 m a ladv. 1 he Wilmington operator
was thunderstruck when he discovered
that he was not talking to "one of the
boys," and the con versation came to an
abrupt termination.

highly esteemed citizens of Macon
countv. died at his home on CartuOL'e-
chave five miles west of Franklin at 10

of 77 years. The cause of his death was
pneumonia, ttis wne, wno was verv
low with fever, requested that they
snouiu not uury mm until Saturday and
probably she would be ready to be
buried with him in the same grave. She
lingered until 1 o'clock Mouday morn
ing when her spirit took its flight.
Shelbv Review : The Governor's Sen
ator's light hand, is his son and private
Secretary, Mr. Chas. N. Vance, who can
dispatch more business in a given lenuth
of time than any man we have ever seen.
A distinguished statesman said of Mr.
Vance that he is one of the brainiest
men he knows. The dependence of the
Governor upon him and the tender devo
tion of the son to his father is touching
Mr. Vance is now the exact picture of
his father ten or fifteen years ago. lie
has the same genial way and flow ot wit
as his father always had, and for
patience. Job is nowhere.
Concord Standard: Plain Jack Uinker,
ot No. 1, has worn Dut one shoe or one
boot at a time since the terrible battle
at Gettysburg, during the civil war. Al
ter the surrender, April 'J, 1865, Mr.
Linker came home and his entire posses
sion, aside from energy, hraltb, honesty
and common sense, consisted of a "iSGS
sorrel mare." With this, on his peg leg,
he began to fight life's battles. Nint
years ago last tall Jack Linker moved
from near Georgeville, No. 9 township,
to Rocky Riyer township, or No. 1.
Since that time, with a familv of nine
living children (Mr. Linker has three
dead) he has bought and paid for five
tracts of land 2, 89, 86, 19?i and 14-2
acres respectively. Tbe 26 acres cost
him i600. He owes not. a cent on bis
land, which cost him in all $3,850, say
ing nothing of the interest. Mr. Linker
has his eye on another tract, and w ben
he gets that he has promised us to quit.
All this he has done in nine years and on
one leg.

An ftCuKliahman's Good Opinion
of Asheville.
Editor The Citizen: I have today
received a postal card from a gentleman
who I had the great pleasure to meet
last summer. He is family physician
and confidential advisor to the Duke of
Devonshire, one of the wealthiest noble
men in England, and, as 1 was told, in
terested in sending emigrants to Amer
ica. The following extract will show
the impression I tried to make on such
people whenever I met them:
"I have almost given up the idea ot
coming west this summer; I regret not
seeing Asheville, N. C, much more than
not seeing Chicago. If you have any
used centenary postal stamps please
send me some," etc., etc.
I will be greatly obliged if you will ask
any one having postal stamps of various
denominations to let me have them, as I
wish to write to my friend still to change
his mind, and come to see Asheville if not
Chicago. Respectfullv,
T. IV. Pattan.
Tom Johnston's Ventre Hhol.
Editor The Citizen: I see you notice
the return of Hon. Thos. I). Johnston
from a trip to Cherokee, but you did not
tell of an exploit of his while out there.
Possibly the well known modesty ot the
Captain kept him from telling it. While
at Ogreeta, he took one of the old fash
ioned percussion-lock rifles ofTa squirrel
hunter's shoulder, shot off-hand th'rty
vards at a mark, and knocked the ccntic
dead out. To the surprise of the feople.
expressed by long whistles, "by jingoes! '
and other such expressions, he coolly re
plied. "What's the surprise; what else do
you think I shot at? Now when you
beat that I'll sioul ag.-iiu."
We knew he alwuy drove the centre
in a speech, but didn't know he st
equally as close with a rifle.
