HAYWOOD OBTCDESTNUI? WHICH Or THE STREETS SHALL, HAVE PRECEDENCE IN" THE ' I PAVING QUESTION ? J DELEGATION URGES THE CLAIMS . j - - OP CHESTNUT STREET AC- ' ; .J TION DEFERRED ONE j : ? .:' weekJ '"' - f The election returns from Ohio have convinced Marion Butler that' he is against the suffrage amendment. The next time John R. McLean is candidate for something we hope he will confine his running' to the city of Washington. The large Democratic majority in the Maryland Legislature has considerably increased the humidity of Mr. Gor man's mouth. The Salisbury Index has an editorial more than a column long on "Morality in Politics." There isn't that much morality in politics. "While in the public service I thought the public entitled to frankness," said Thomas Jefferson. But Willilrm Mc- KWiIey is not Thomas Jefferson. "One blast upon his bugle horn ia worth a thousand men." Pritchard beats that. He made one Republican speech in Maryland and the Democrats carried the State by 15,000. Possibly if Agulnaldo were a Moham medan and had 47 wives and two bun dred slaves he would be enjoying a pension from the United States of America. It doesn't pay a foreigner to be decent these days. "The sooner it is understood abroad that the United States is out of its swaddling clothes and has grown . a beard, the better it will be for all of us," says the Washington Post. Grown a beard! Is the United States a Pop ulist 7 And who ever saw Columbia or the American eagle sporting whiskers? NATIONAL PARK MEETING. On Wednesday, November 22, repre sentative Southern men will meet In Asheville to discuss and take action in regard to a Southern National Park 111 Western North Carolina. Asheville hopes that North Carolina, and partic ularly Western North Carolina, will be well represented. This is a matter of great importance to the whole State. In Western North Carolina nature has provided every thing that is necessary for such a park. Nothing remains except for man to pro tect it and keep it as a great park and health resort. If those who think they are enjoying life in other places could take a tele scopic peep at Asheville just now ant get a telerhinic whiff of Asheville air they would change their minds and buy tickets to Asheville. WHT NOT? The Cherokee Scout calls attention to the fact that the inventive skill of the American artisan is recognized the world over. Our axes, revolvers, bicy cles, sewing machines, typewriters, etc, are the standard throughout the world, on the fertile fields 'of both continents American agricultural machinery reigns supreme. Our steel rails link England's colonial outposts. Our bridges span the rivers In India and Egypt, and our locomotives furnish the motive .power for Russia's new commercial artery the government raiiroad." All of which is true. Yet there is good reason why these goods are sought after in the markets of the world. Besides being better than foreign goods they are sold at lower prices in foreign markets than foreign goods. And in order that the American - manufacturer may sell his goods at a lower price in foreign markets the American people tax themselves for his benent. They call this tax "Protec tion," because it protects them against getting the necessaries of life at rea sonable prices. MORGAN WANTS A JUNKET. Senator Morgan of Alabama, is in a fever to have Congress appoint a junk etlng committee to make a tour of the Philippines at public expense to look at the situation and report. He knows well enough that a Republican President of the Senate and a Republican Speaker of the House would appoint on the committee a majority of imperialists, who could write out their report Just as well before taking the trip as af tei wards. Of course a committee of Congress i oIuii t st-e very much of the Philippine stands. As to Luzon, they would be Loniined to 117 square miles of the 143,- un.ess the Filipinos kindly consent- (J tu give them permits to roam over the country. But the committee. could (.0 to Sulu and see our new Sultan ana Lis harem. It is most probable that if Senator Morgan, a Democrat, introduces a joint it-solution for a juketing committee the resolution will pass. Then Congress tan aDDroDriate two or three million uollars for a steamer and "flxins." and the committee can go ahead. It could interview Otis and Joe Wheeler, and come home with a long report, written to suit McKinley's views. And that would be in accordance with Senator Morgan's Idea of this useless trip at public expense. Haywood or Chestnut which shall be paved first? was a Question which en grossed the attention iof the Board of .aldermen -at the weekly session last evening. Julius C. Martin, esq., brought up the question, favoring Chestnut, ana be . was backed by a delegation from .hat street. He said a number of prat, erty owners were willing to pay theit assessments in fullj within twelve months. Their notes could be converted easily into cash, to help the city in the work. It is estimated that the paving will cost about 0,400. if a stone foun dation is used. Thomas W. Raoui. "Dr. r. C. Smith and Dr. j. E. David ais spoke for Chestnut paving. Aldefman West moved that Chestnut be the next street paved, and that the work be done as soon as the city finds it practicable. Mayor Blair thought the board would make a mistake if it settled the ques tion then and there, as the Haywood property owners were :not represented and did not know that the question was to come up. Aldermen Wood and Dorsett spoke in like terms. Alderman riherrill said George S. Powell had told him that he, Mr. Powell, as one property owner on Haywood, would not enter the contest. Mr. West with drew . his motion and; made another, to leave the question open a week, that Haywood may b heard if she desires a hearing. Police 1 Justice Brown recalled , the matter , of a bill for 14.00 ren dered by Justice ; Campbell for costs in cases tried during the 1 police Justice's absence. Judge Brown thought that inasmuch as the j city had received, in labor, the fines and ci.sts in the cases, he should not be made to pay the bill, -although he would stand the expense if the board thought that the proper thing. He was willing to be docked" for every min ute of time lost, provided the mayor, Mr. Rawls, Mr. West or other members had their salaries cut' during their ab sence from the city. iHe insisted that the question be settled at once so that he might know what to do in case he wanted to leave the city. The bill was retened to the finance committee with power to act... The judge again insisted that the main question be settled at once. Mayor Blair rapped for order and the matter was sent to City Attorney Bourne, as there was a legal question involved. Later Judge Brown brought up, on behalf of Jack Sams, the question of a change in the line of Avery street by the Asheville Cottoij mills. It was stated that the mill people had changed the line to put in a coal chute, and lately had made another change, which was objected to by Mr. Sams, who owns much of the property on that street. The question was referred to the street committee, where it had been once be fore. Judge Brown, Vigorously insisted that some settlement of the case be eached at this meeting, nut the matter having been referred there was nothing rther to be done atrnis stage, in- West College street, north side, where it has hot been done by the property owner In accordance with a previous order, and the cost will be collected under the sidewalk law. ' . f In looking over the bills Chairman Rawls of the finance committee said that it seemed that the city would be compelled to shut down all the street work except that which may be abso lutely necessary from time to time. There was some -. discussion, but no formal order. - The Southern Railway company has sent Water Superintedent Rankin a check for its water rent according to the old quarterly payment schedule, disregarding the new meter change. Alderman Wood will consult Superin tendent Lioyau aDout the case. For the fire committee Mr. Dorsett reported that the old horses had been turned over to R. M. Ramsey and casn had been received therefor. - For a special committee he recommended the payment of $15 to Belton Butler in neu 01 au damage claimed' by reason of an Injury to Butler's horse on Spring street. Adopted. City Clerk Robertson's weekly stat ment showed $3015.83 balance on hand. REV JOHN C.

SOUTH MAIN EXTENSION. President Frank Loughran of the Good Roads association told the board Lhat that body is making a desperate rtort to macadamise the extension of South Main street, and he askea tnt o.ard to make a proposition to the ueeting next Monday to furnish the crushed stone necessary at hist cost. ihe meeting is to be heid at 3 p. m. at ol. McNamee's office at Biltmore. in the proposed macadamizing it is esti mated 2,500 yards of stone will be need- d. The street committee was auinor- zed to make a proposition to Monday's meeting, and Mayor Blair was appoint ed to represent the board at the meet- ng. according to invitation extenaea. Chairman West for the street com nlttee reported that the Asheville & Biltmore company had replaced its r-rail over the Depot street Driage near the Glen Rock hotel with a flat ail. as requested by the Doara; as to Short street, the committee naa Deen unable to find whether tne street naa ever been formally accepted ty tne -ity; regarding the platforms wnicn have been built on the south siae or West College street between water ana 'laywood. upon the suggestion of San itary Inspector Bird, It was recom manded that the sidewalk be cleared of barrels and boxes for sanitary rea sons; and that the; deal fgr the Martin property, near the; quarrys naa Deen oncluded, and thef aeea receivea. 1 ne eports were adoptea. as to onoi 1 street the matter was lert witn tne nrnncrtv owners thereof, me Martin lciir wntt rrrlrrt recorded.

It was thoueht that In the end it would prove more economical than the cheaper make. The aldermen doubted whether the nlckuo would ; be best for Ashe ville's streets, and Anally Instructed the trcc( committee TO correspond witn he. makers of the 1325 sweeper and as certain whether it will be sent here on 10 days approval. : NEW ORDINANCES. The Board of Health sent up, with recommendation of its adoption, an or linance suggested by the journeymen plumbers. It provides that all journey men plumbers working: in the city shall tand an examination and secure a cer tificate from an examining board, to be composed thus: One member of the Board of Health,: one master plumber who has served an appreticeship and worked as a "jour." (he to be selected by the Board of Health), andT- the plumbing inspector. The ordinance passed first reading. The penalty for violation of the ordinance is $5. Police Justice ; Brown said that in making up the new Code the ordinance against animals running at large was left out, and he suggested to City At orney Bourne the preparation of an or dinance covering the case. Clerk Rob ertson read the ordinance so drawn. and it was passed on first reading. The penalty for violation 1 $5. Eight property owners on tumoer- and avenue asked the board to order :at the roadway of their street be made 30 feet, and five feet on either side in which to plant shade trees and make a grass plot. The matter was eft open for a week in order that there may be a more general signing by the owners of property on the avenue be fore the width is established. Some attention was Riven the light question, one phase being the idea of decreasing the candle power ana in creasing the number of lights. Manager Plummer of the Asheville Electric company stated that later in the fall his company would be in a position to frer the board a Ugh ting proposmor hat would be very much to the city's advantage. ? WATER KEHIS. . Rev. H. S. McDuffey urged the board to reduce the water rent charged against the colored Masonic lodge, which meets In the hall over the Bos ton shoe store. He stated that the raise In water tax was from 7 cents to xs quarter, and he thought this burden some, as the lodge aia no obb wur buckets of water a month- The case was referred to the water committee, v Building permits granted: Thomas W.

"The last ene ny that shall be destroyed Is death." I Cor. 15:2. From the cradle to the grave man's way is set with snares, trials and en emies. He has many of the latter, some of which overcome him, while ithers are by his own strength, man iness. subdued. And despite the fact f contrary winds, he rides the storm, with glimpses often of bright " sun shine and peaceful days. Yet. he is never without opposition, enmity, from 3 very source. Let him be never so con scious of rectitude and adherence to the conviction and ' principle he must jome In contact with battering rams, .vithout horns, but all the same a tre menduous force win oppose him. The worst enemy that a man may Save as he is passing on the way is himself. Great is he who can get the strength to successfully combat self. olomota who was possessed of the fa culty to use clever sayings, thought hat the man who could control his own spirit was greater than he who taketh city. That would put one a notch ibove Dewey. He took a whole country me Sunday morning by the use of pow !er and shot with brave men of his ommand, but the critical moment ame afterwards, when, as the average nan, he wilted when he met self. If he had only said, "No thank you, brethren, t have plenty and can buy a home of Tiy own," what a man he would have -howed up. But he couldn't say it. Self ish. Old man Churchill riding along the road one day met a venerable beggar woman. He handed her a quarter of a lollar. After which he began to think within himself that perhaps she was not a worthy object of charity, and he result of his cogitations was that he urned back and asked her to return he money, which she did without -nurmer; but, in that moment. Skinflint was converted; and as the quarter Iropped in the purse, he put in its olace. In the hand of the beggar, a "".ve dollar note, saying-, "Now Self, I ;uess you will keep still the next time 1 give an old woman twenty-five ents." But in various ways without at empt to elaborate, it is agreed, that lan is oftentimes his own worst ene my, and from himself he receives wounds that he carries through life. Then there are the personal enemies, "be preacher, the professional man. the usiness man, the newspaper editor, nd men in every relation have their ersonal enemies. Sometime ago a gen tleman stopped In to see me. When getting on the question of politics he became very bitter, and went so far as o say that a certain editor, who was iot in belief as the majority, had real y been the cause of the defeat of a ertain party, that had gotten off Its inges and swung Itself Into efeat. It was an unkind cut, tnd showed deep-seated, but at the ame time an inexcusable spirit of an mosity towards one who has never 'linehed in his allegiance to what he elieved best for his country. I have ieard a man pray, Lord help us to love ach other as we love ourselves, and then go out and stab a man for whom le professed friendship. It Is terrible rying to contend with these personal nemies. If you know a man in whose honor you have no confidence and whom you desire to slay, do it fairly, tnd not hit him a blow that would be "ishonorable In a prixe fight This Is in enemy that like the devil goes about seeking whom he may devour; but, in he end. usually kills himself. The per sonal and Belf-enemy may be destroyed by the object of their animosity rising bove self and living a life which is really righteous. But there Is one ene ny which even righteousness cannot 'estroy. and his name is Death. He is the last one to be destroyed. 'ut the time of his destruction is not .-et come. The good Book sayB it will be here one day. "And death and hell vere cast Into the lake of fire." Strange hat" the Inspired man should so close y associate death with hell. When it is i practice of modern theology to speak of death as a friend, when Paul speaks of it as an enemy. The finest funeral trappings and the most beautiful rhet orical flourishes put no gloss on the nonster for me. By man came death. 'Od did not make man to die. He sim ly brought it on himself. But the time is coming when this is to be destroyed. Then shall be brought to pass the say ing that is written. death is wallowed up in victory." But not now, oh no, not now. Death is such, an nemy that some day the .Book de lares he is to be cast into the lake of ire. as i write toaay, i pause ana ook around me. There Is the sewing machine, it says, death; there Is the willow rocker, close to the bedside, it says, death ; the vase on the mantel has "owers In it as usual, but it says, dead sitting down to the eveninir meal.the ve- oant opposite chair speass in tones of c?eralnty,dead: then the quiet still face, to which one day, we said: "Ella," Uga hat never before refused to answer, what is it, dear?" seem to mutely sav, 'ead. The last enemy does his work. But one thing we can be thankful for, when it is finished, there is rest; and tfter all. Is there not compensation in hat truth? For "blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." They rest from their labors ind their works follow them. So there fore, my brethern, enemy or no enemy, let us look for the bow in the elouds: let us carry sunshine in our walk; let us adorn our lives with the beautiful flowers of holy living, and though the night falls apace, let us not forget Him. who died and then rose igain. bringing life and immortality to life through the gospel. No word from my pen. dark as may be the night would be written encouraging or sug resting a doubt, a falter or a halt. "Be ye , steadfast, -unmovabie. always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye- Know that your laoor is not in vain in the ' Lord." There's compensation. J. C. TROY. Jonesboro, N. C. naieign, N. c, Nov. 1L The Home Protection fire insurance company of Charlotte, which was : organised last week under it charter, applied a nce for license. The Insurance om awssloner has referred the matter to the attorney general, who decide that un der the Insurance law of 1893 (the Wil- ard law) a company has to show $200. 000 of risks applied for before It can be licensed by the commissioner. The charw .er of the company allows it to begin wnen 550.000 of insurance is applied for, but the charter also makes the compa ny entirely subject to the general In surance law. This company proposes to increase mill risks. Revenue Collector Duncan, the Re publican chief priest In Eastern North Carolina, said yesterday when told of Senator Butler's declaration that he would stump the State against the irsncmse amendment, that he "was highly delighted at Rntli-' bih,, He added that he was not at all sur prised. "I knew that after the fight of i894 he could not desert us. It- is the same ngnt now tnat it was then."

Durham Is so far the banner county in point of in crease. The insurance commissioner ha a made up his monthly statement, which snows mat 31 life. 79 fire and 13 accl lent and surety companies have been icensed, while only 6 out of 16 frater nal orders have complied with the Craig law. The commissioner says the fraternal orders pay less attention to hat law than any others: nnnpurlnp in think that because they are fraternal they are not covered by it. The commissioner of aerlonltiire la advised by the cattle owners in Clay county that they have formed a club to protect their territory from tick fe ver. They call on the State to forbid the entry of stock into Clay from Georgia and South Carolina at any and all sea sons, une intensely cold weather last winter did not kill out the ticks.

Elijah Joyner. the brutal was hanged at Greenville yesterday in L,,c v'cuciice or a great crowd, is the -nan who was in Jail here for months. He was a terrible fellow. He went to a store, called the clerk to the door, pht his skullwith an axe, plundered the store and burned It. His next step was to try to make it appear that five or six negroes were the murderers. All 2f them narrowly missed lynching. Then he. said he was lying, and hat he had only one accomplice. He and this man were hurried here to pre sent lynching. Finally Joyner confessed that he alone was guilty. His crime was committed in the hope of getting $2,500. which he had heard was in a safe in the store. Gov. Russell issues a warrant for the execution of Lorenzo Brown, colored, xt Greenville, January 26, for rape. The chairman of the penitentiary ex ecutive board says that only one charge igainst Fusion Supervisor Lewis Sura merill was beard by the board that he was the cause of convicts being frost bitten last February. The chairman says he thinks Summerill ought to have been removed. Capt. Day thinks other wise. He said yesterday that all the newspapers misrepresented him. The debts of the penitentiary up to December 31 last, amount to $100,000, and those contracted since to $20,000. These last claims will have to wait un til the Legislature provides for their payment, as under the Supreme court's lecision they can't be paid out of the bond fund. The warrants for debts are now being altered so as to conform to the court's decision. The State Treasurer will before the fiscal year ends be called on to pay UOO.OOO to the public schools. It is a Jirect and unconditional appropriation. At the statement of date October 1 there was $44,000 available in the treasury. No doubt Father Worth will 3crape around and ,get the money. On the 29th instant the directors and stockholders of the various divisions of the Seaboard Air Line, met here to ratify the charter granted last winter by the Legislature. There Is, it appears, 'ome objection to a provlslpn that if any stockholder is dissatisfied with the price offered him for his stock he can ake the matter before the clerk of Wake county, who shall oppoint three ippraisers. whose finding shall be final xnd binding on the company. The State charters the McMillan- Miller lumber company of Duplin coun ty, capital $50,000. It is notified of the increase of the stock of the Paraxon Drug company of Asheville, from $15,000 to $50,000. "WHAT'S THE USE OF WASTING BUCK SHOT ON RATS" NOR TON AN "ALIEN" AND - "TURN-COAT." '" Green boro Correspondence Charlotte . Observer. - - . Hon. Thomas Settle returned from Wilmington yesterday. The fact that the Asheville Gasette refuse to pub lish hi letter, elaborating his position as to the election law and the constitu tional amendment, -came as no surprise to Mr. Settle. -; j . He ia not disposed to reply to the Gasette' attack upon him in which he is termed "Simmons' ally," "What is the use of wasting buck-shot on rats?" said Mr. Settle. "Norton (the editor) Is an alien to the State; and he has turn ed-coat In a manner that would shame any North Carolinian." . By taking Mr. Settle's name in vain in uncomplimentary fashion the edi tor of the Gazette does not necessarily provoke recrimination, but he silently emphasize the contrast bet ween, him self and the man he criticises . I mean no discourtesy to Mr, Norton but it is to be hoped, for-his own sake. that he will become an honest Republi can and that he will declare himself as such. This way lie redemption in mall form. To change political faith is one thing, and a man's royal perog- ative: but the articles of honorable warfare damn anyone - that fights treacherously or tn false guise. - The Gasette has gone, body and soul, to the Pritchard-Pearson coterie. If it admits this and pulls . down Its farcial Democratic banner, Mr. Norton's crlt ics will let him alone. By maintaining otherwise, as it does, the Gasette must, from an unbiased standpoint. rest under the Imputation of unclean ness. unfairness and disrepute. Tom Settle has never been anything else but a Republican. He has bad differences with men Inside, and out side of his party, but no one has ever seriously questioned bis political non esty. His bitterest political enemies have never intimated that the quality of his Republicanism was - tainted. Whatever his faults may be he has Uood for purity and straightforward ness in politics. In his position on the lection law - and- the constitutional amendment. Mr. Settle stands strictly by his party's platform. The difference between him and the other Republican leaders is not radical except as to poll nr. Mr. Settle stands by his convic tions on the amendment fearlessly and above board. And no man in North Carolina has called him, or win call him traitor. On this word hangs the nature of the contrast Do business men employ as salesmen ,-ersons of estaolished bad ciara .'tr or character?
