A lit iircKcuf alive of "The tltl zeu" Telia of Tlic Caunetles of Mounts. Freeman, Aaliworlb, Wlilisouand Reed. Deep in the valley of Broad river where Hickory mountain's base recedes and al lows the plunging torrent a broader sweep, on the road below Esmeralda Inn, the pungent odors of steaming fruit compel the attention of the tourist to a spot where industry's hive is storing na' ture's Rifts for man's enjoyment. The enterprise engaging the activities of the people of the coves and uplands as well as those of the valley at this particular season iu the locality named is a fruit can nery, one of a pair operated by the thrift and energy of J. 1$. Freeman, ot Fruit land, and Jason Ashwortb ol Fairview, foremost men in their respective com munities in pushing progress and pioneer.-! m the industry that must eventually turn upside down themoss grown theory that views and air are the sum tola! of the valuable products of Western North Carolina, The plant at Chiinucy Kock, which a ClTUKN man visited recently, consumes the product ol extensive and productive peach orchards in the adjacent moun tains owned by Messrs. Freeman and Ashworth. and the capacity of the con cern has created a demand that accepts tlic surplus ot tue similar ilruit irom the farms surrounding. The proprietors have had success beyond their greatest expectation in growing their fruit and in the preservation, and the rush of the busy season is keeping their derricks in a lift and swine with shining loads from earliest dawn till the fall of night. At 1-airview, Buncombe s fertile lands furnish the needed fruit, but the demand is away beyond the supply, and points unerringly to prosperity and its attend ant harvest. Nearer the city, on G.-isYs creek, the opportunity for profitable enterprise has been tunica to good account by C. F. Whitson, whose goods find ready market in Ashevilte, and the present "season's boxing will lead the past by thousands. Tomatoes arc the raw material at this point, and the contiguous fields are ricb.lv lined with the prolific yield of the cardinal globe s, and furnish an impressive object lesion to the fanner who wants his crop returns in good hard cash. Three milts up tbe Swannanoa the pickers push the eanncrs at the factory of Mark L. Kccd, Buncombe's legislator and a guide post for his constituents w;itli rustl-.' anil move printed nil over him. "Tomatoes" are the favorite money makers here as at Whitson's. The acreage ol this necessity in the econ omy of the household is increased as each recurring year adds to the already enor mous consumption. the possibilities for enlarging the in come and consequent profits of the far mers arc practically without limit, and iu n country so rich lu the nccdlul re sources us the one traversed by This Cit izen last week what appears at present to be an infant industry must rapidly de velop iuto n robust and pcrmaucnt busi- CI1ICKAMAIIGA HEI.IC, A (iavel to be rrcitenleil Co ilie W. St. c. Veterans. Col. J. M. Kay has shown Tub Citizen au Interesting war relic that will revive memories in the breasts of all the"vcts." It is a gavel made of a piece of pine from the battle field of Chickamauga. Tlic gavel is handsomely polished and silver mounted. Engraved on it are these words: "September 19 and 20, 1S03. Presented to the Confederate Veterans' association of Western North Curolina through Col. T. M. Kay, colonel GOth N. C. Infantry, bv A. W. Sidebotlom. Captain Co. A., Tenn. Infantry." Capt. bidebottoni is an old friend of Col. Kay. The gavel was finished with a view to presentation to theW. N. C. vet erans on August 23, but the reunion ut WayrtTsville was postponed to October 11-13, and the presentation will accord ingly take place on one of those days. In a letter to Col. Kay, accompanying tbc gavel, Col. Sidcbottom, who lives iu Chattanooga, savs: "I regret exceedingly that I cannot avail myself of your kind invitation to be present at ti e annual rcuniou of the association. Business engagements just now arc such as demand my attention here. But I send a representative a gavel, a Chickamauga souvenir, that will speak lor itself, that 1 desire to pre sent through you to the association, with the request that they assign it to duty at once, whcrelfeelconfident it will act well its part in their deliberations. And especially v will it act as a reminder of the l'Jth and 20th of September, 1SG3, made glorious to everv Confederate heart, in part by the valor of North Carolina and Tennessee sol diery, to whose roll call, my dear Colo nel, you and 1 had the honor to answer on that memorable occasion." FAVIKU I!i MII.VKK. A ltctiuent r"r Currency Tn.il Went Mot ruSiCcdcU. A few days ago two. Ashevillc gentle men met in the office of one of them to settle a financial transaction. The one who owed the other something over $470 drew up a check for the amount and tendered it, but the other demurred and asked currency. The payer told the payee he could get currency for the check at the bank, but it didil't "go," the payee persisting in his demand for the currency. Seeing that argument would not change the payee's determination the payer slyly winked the other eye and and went to the bank. There he got the amount in silver four bags of $100 each and the remainder in halves and quar ters. Then he returned to his office and deposited the load on the table before the gentleman who wanted currcucy. He was greatly surprised to get such a lond of the stuff, but pocketed his chagrin, shouldered bis silver and went off to a bank, where he deposited it, while the gentleman who worked the joke looked around the corner and laughed and laughed. And now Senator Jno. M. Campbell's friends who arc "on" hail him with: "I understand you arc paying strictly in .il ,. t e-i, i.. ., .i ... : , BKICT I'ACTORIGs. HMKar licet Culture Ban Ueeii Huccessfully Tried Here. Col. John D. Cameron, whose eye and mind let pass nothing which concerns the welfare of bis State, in a talk with The Citizen gives the following facts which will prove of general interest Col. Cameron says : "The Citizen of yesterday quotes from the Charlotte News an article in refer ence to the establishment of sugar beet factories iu North Carolina. The Ger man syndicate, so says the News, that owns the beet sugar works in the States of Nebraska, Oregon, California and Utah, has an eye upon this State, and has invited Congressman Alexander to look into the matter of the cultivation of the beet with reference to the estab lishment of factories among us. "This is uot altogether a new idea, nor is it tue hrst suggestion ot the culti, vation of the sugar beet here for the pur pose of making sugar. In the winter of ISsJ there came to Ashevillc a German gentleman named Brandt. He came from Cincinnati, and had some councc tlon with one of the daily newspapers of that city, lie was a genial, intelligent gentleman, and made himself quite at home among our people. He spent many of his leisure hours in The Citizen office, and there unfolded the object of his visit to Ashevillc, which was to ascertain the capacities of Western North Carolina, in soil and climate, for the successful culti vation of the sugar beet for the purpose of the manufacture of sugar. He repre sented, so he claimed, a large German interest in Cincinnati a syndicate, in fact anxious to develop beet culture in the South. He brought with him a large supply of beet seed, and, through The Citizen, made liberal distribution of them among the farmers of this section, always exacting a promise that the re sults should be illustrated by specimen exhibits of the matured roots. "Mr. Brandt himself spent the summer on the Swannanoa, and gave his personal attention to the cultivation of quite a large area planted in beet seed. At the end of the season he returned to Ashe ville and there awaited the icturns from the farmers. Thirty or forty of them brought sain pics of their produce to The Citizen office, accumulating several bushels. Mr. Brandt expressed himself much delighted; said he had found all the conditions of success he was looking for, and promised that in the near future large tracts iu this vicinity would be planted ia beet seed, and large factories established here. "This was the last of it. Mr. Brandt never returnee), and nothing more has been heard of hid enterprise. The seed he introduced here, and which were decided ly successful, were the White Silcsian sugar beet." IIAI.1-- CRAZY. Aucl This Mill of Pefler's Ia Out of Tlie Crazy Half. VAsiHiNCTON, Sept. 9. Brief mention has been made of Mr. Feffer's latest bill, but brief mention can hardly do justice to that remarkable production. The title is "A Bill to advance Learn ing the Arts and Sciences and Promote the General Welfare by Found ing a College of Scicatific Learning in the District of Columbia." The bill consists of 10 sections. The first pro vides for a department of education, under the control of a secretary of educa tion The second piovidcs for the con struction within three years in the Dis trict of Columbia of a college of scientific learning, in which shall be taught all the classical and professional studies and arts and sciences necessary to give stud ents a knowledge of the highest courses appertaining to such education and learning. Another section appro priates $20,0(1)0,000 for the cost of constructing the college and providing it with the necessary appliances. The eighth section appropriates $800,000, 000 to be carried to the cretlit of the fund, the interest thereof to be applied monthly. The fourteenth section pro vides for the purchase of the aluminum for the coiuagcof currency to the amount of the appropriation. The coins arc to 1,5, 10, 25 and 50 cents, and 1, 5, 10, 20 (nud multitudes of 20) dollars. This currency is to be the legal tender for all debts, public and private. A II OUT AS LAST VICAR. Majority of the PtttHbure iMauts KeHuinlnK Mow. Pittshi iu;, I'a., Sept. 9. Iu the Pitts burg district 25 mills and irou plants arc now iu operation. The number of plants entirely idle is 17. Compared with the same season last year there is not much difference. While there were more plants in operation then than now, three of the largest, the Carnegie plant at Homestead and the two Carnegie plants in this city, were crippled at this time a 3-ear ago. These three plants arc now iu full operation, and this increases the total number of men between 7.000 and 8,000. This will offset the number of men still idle in at least 10 of the smaller plants that have not yet re sumed. I'l.tVLI) CIRCIS. PHrkersburic Children Set Fire to a uarn. I'ARKlCKSiil'Ke;, V. Va., Sept. 9. A number of small children, who were playing circus in McClintock's barn on the corner of Thirteenth and Linn streets, endeavored to produce flash lights with matches. Fire caught the hay, destroy ing the barn, McClintock's and several other residences and outbuildings, and endangered tbe entire annexed district. A daughter of Lee Currr, who was among the players, is missing, and is supposed to have (wrishcd in the flames Urcchenrldge Will Ran. Breckunrihgu, Ky., Sept. 9.

Although there arc several men who would like to succeed Brecken ridgc, no one has yet announced that he will oppose him. Bismarck Out of Uanuer. Berlin, Sept. 9. Dr. Schweninger, Prince Bismarck's body physician, tele graphs from Kensington that tbe Prince is much better. For a week or more Bismarck's condition has caused great anxiety to his Inmily, but be is now re garded by Dr. Schweninger as out of danger. THE TIDE HAS TURNED DUBININS) It IHFROVINU AU ALONG THE LINE. Money is Easier and There is More Work Thau For Four ZMonlbB Mills Startlnte lTi Both Axencles Axree. New York, Sept. 9. Bradstrcet'ssays: The third successive week of improving financial conditions, followed by a stim ulatioti of demand for staple articles at many point.", has practically satis hed the commercial and industrial communities that the change for the better is a result of improved cond tions and thut the movement . will prove continuous. The last of the pre mium oucurrency has finally disappeared and the tendency of bank deposits to in crease, pointed out a week ago. has be come general and pronounced. At nearlv all the larger financial centres funds arc more easily obtainable, though in a few instances at lower rates of interest or discount. K. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "improvement hasextended from the banks to the mills. The con dition of great industries has distinctly menaea, tliougli still seriously depressed. More important by far tha'n any rise in stocks is tbc fact that more works have resumed during the past week than have stopped operation, so that the nro- ducing force of the countrv after months oi consume uecuiie, nas oegun to in crease. The dispatches mention 28 textile and thirty metal works which have resumed, some only with part of a force, while twenty-five textile and- nine iron works have stopped. It is expected that most o! tue Faff Kiver mills wil start soon, tbe bands assenting to re duced wages. CHIEF All Till' It (st'ED. Ex-Brotherhood EuKlneer Wauls 920,000 for I.iUtl Pittsiu'rc, Sept. G. Attorney Carney has filed the papers iu a suit for $20,000 damages for libel iu the Uuited States Circuit court against 1 M. Arthur ol Cleveland, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and other officers of the order. The plaintiff is Jeremiah Evans, who is now employed as foreman in tbc Eloa Irou Works. Evans was formerly cranio ved on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad us an engineer, and was a mem ber of Keystone Lodge, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. He withdrew from the organization to accept a posi tion of foreman. When a strike was de clared at the Elba works it was declared closed to union men by the Amalgama ted association. Because livans went there to work the officers of Keystone Lodge caused to be published in the lournul, the ollicial organ ot the order. a notice that Evans had been expelled ior scanuing." livar.s claims that as be had withtlrawn from the lodge he could not be expelled, and for the reason that no labor organization makes a pre tense of controlling the position or regu lating wages of foremen, he could not be guilty of "scabbing." The case will be likely be tried at the next term of the Circuit court, and is of great importance to unions, nearly all of which publishes notices of expulsions. N. Y. Sun. FAVORS FROM CLEVELUNU.
