The Observer's Washington dispatch
says:
The rumor twice denied recently in
this correspondence, that Glenn is out
of the race for district attorneyship,
comes bolting up today in a new shape.
I learn that it will be sent to a North
CB'olinn paper. It in now reported that
Glenn will beco-ne one of the fourteeenJ
candidates for the collectorship, the
others beiny: H. A. Oudeer of
Asheville, J. L. SchIcs of States

H. Sutton of Winston, Kerr Craige of
Salisbury. M. H. Phinix of Lexington.

Newton. C. McDowell ot Moreanton,
Locke Craig of Asheville. J. C. Buxton,
of Winston, J. A. Wall of Rockingham,
and Joseph Bradfield of Rockingham
county.
Asheville men now here say that Locke
Craig is not a candidate for the coll ctor-
ship, but wants something else. One or
two other names on this list are new.
As to Glenn, Senator Vance savs "It's a
lie." He thinks theac rumors ar-started

It is said that the commissioners ot

Philadelphia, May 2. A committee
of waiters of this city called upon Law
rence McCormick and George C. Itoldts,
hotel managers, and presented their de
mand for the right to wear moustaches
and for an increase in wanes. McCor
mick was willing to accede to the de
mand for an advance in wages, but re
fused to accede t the demand for whis

Weatray Battle BnvR PiuU
Beds for a companT.
Dr. S. Westray Battle of Asheville has
closed negotiations for the purchase of
the Pink Beds property and the tract is
now being surveyed.
This land lies in Henderson and Tran-
svlvania counties and was purchased bv
by Dr. Battle from the Falls of Neuse
Manufacturing company. There are
about 20.000 acres in the tract, and it is
one ot finest properties in Western North
Carolina. A portion of the land is in
the form of the bed of a lake, where grass
will erow to an extra height. The con
struction of a small dam would make a
lake five miles long and two or three
miles wide.
This magnificent property was pur
chased by Dr. Battle for a company of
gentlemen, wbose purpose ur. naiuc
would not disclose when ne gave i hb
Citizen the information printed above.
His reference to the lake is, however, un
derstood by some as meaning that a
splendid hotel is to be erected with
parks, lake and pleasure grounas oi va
rious kinds surrounding it.
The price paid for the land could not
be learned.
