For the
The AsKeville Bar Endorses Him and He Has
Assurances of Active Support From all
The Mountain Counties
Judge Charles A. Moore of this city
will be a candidate for Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme court of North
Carolina.
For several months he has been so
licited by his friends to allow the use
of his name before the next State con
vention, but until recently he has de
clined, considering It a position for
which there ought to be no scramble.
But as Western North Carolina has
for a long term of years had no repre
sentation on the Supreme bench, and as
Judge Moore is in every way eminently
fitted for that position he has at last
been prevailed upon to allow his name
to go before the convention for the
convention for the nomination.
In doing so he will have the almost
solid sunnort of the bar at the west.
From all the mountain countiesrnave
come assurances of active support,and
the Asheville bar will -most enthusias
tically rally to his standard, as the fol
lowing, circulated this morning, will
show:
"We, the undersigned members of
the Bar of Buncombe county, believing
that the different sections of the State
are entitled to representation on the
Supreme court, and fully appreciating
that said court should be composed of
lawyers of probity, learning and ability,
and knowing his eminent fitness and
qualifications- for the office, heartily
endorse for Associate Justice of said
court, the Honorable Charles A. Moore
of Asheville.

COMPLAINTS FILED
IN RAILROAD GASES
W. N. Coopers Damage Suits
Instituted Against the
Southern Railway
W. N. Cooper today filed bills of
complaints in the Superior court clerk's
office against the Southern and West
ern North Carolina railways in the 30
suits which he instituted against these
two railways several months ago, as
has already been mentioned in The Cit
izen. The amount of each of these suits is
$2000 making a total of $60,000. . Mr.
Cooper claims that an insufficient num
ber of cars were furnished him by the
railways in question in which to suc
cessfully carry on his business.
The act of establishing the road is re
ferred to and made a part of -the com
plaint: "That the legislature of North
Carolina at its session in 1S55 passed an
act known as the charter of the West
ern North Carolina Railway company,
and under this charter a. company was
formed and organized known as the
Western North Carolina Railway com
pany." The purchase of the railway is also
set forth in the complaints and that
because of this purchase made by the
defendant, the Southern Railway com
pany. It is alleged that as provided by
section 697 of the code of North Caro
lina, the Southern railway became and
has ever since continued to be, a domestic-
corporation.
It is alleged that the Southern rail
way allowed and permitted lumber and
freight delivered to it for shipment by
the plaintiff to remain unshipped after
it was received, for more than five
days, whereby the Western North Car
olina and Southern railway became in
debted to the plaintiff as provided by
section 2, chapter 634, public laws of
North Carolina, session 1901, in the sum
of $2000.
Judgment is demanded for the amount
in question with interest thereon.
It is not known when these oases will
se called for dial. There are now more
than 1000 cases on the civil docket, a
number of which, however, will be dis
posed of at the present term of court.

GREENSBORO FORMS
HER BASEBALL TEAM
That City Will Sue Railroads
for Withdrawing Rates to
Convention
(Special to The Citizen.)
Greensboro,' N. C, March 13. The
Greensboro Athletic and Baseball as
sociation hs been organized to put a
team in the state baseball leauge. C.
G. Wrright has been elected president
and L. J. Brandt, secretary. A board
of directors will be elected to manage
the affairs of the association. There
is a good deal of enthusiasm here and
it has already been decided to make the
Greensboro team a pennant winner.
At last it seems that some work is to
be done on the streets of Greensboro.
Three years ago bonds were voted to
pave the streets, but further than grad
ing a few streets and leaving them in
an almost Impassable condition, noth
ing has been done. Some of the streets
are in a most deplorable condition and
the citizens have grown impatient at
the delay in making improvements.
This delay, the aldermen say, has been
unavoidable. At an informal meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night
the supervisor of public w-orks was au
thorized to proceed as early as practi
cable with the work of paving and
macadamizing the streets that -have
been graded. Additional rock crushers
will be purchased and several forces of
laborers put to -work In different sec
tions of town.
It will be remembered that the big
trade exhibit which was to have been
held here In February was called off
on account of the action of the South
eastern Passenger association in with
drawing tne reaucea rates mat naa
previously been granted. The promo
ters of the enterprise and those who
were to have made exhibits
felt that they and the city
have been damaged. by this
arbitrary action of the railroads and
arrangements are being made to instl-
titue suits for damages. It Is probable
that each of the roads comprising the
Southeastern Passenger association
will be sued separately.
Several Democrats here have received
letters from H. C. Brown asking them
to support his candidacy for corporation
commissioner, to succeed Dr. D. H.
Abbott. Mr. Brown Is clerk to the
commission. It is understood that Mr.
E C. Beddingfleld of Raleigh will op
pose him for the nomination.

are not auxiliary members.
The ministers present were Dr. R. R.
Swope, and Ttev. McNeely DuBoser. Mrs.
T. C. Wetmore presided and introduced
the speakers of the afternoon, Miss
Butler and Miss Hlggins.
Miss Butler who is a missionary
working among the mountains of west
ern North Carolina, spoke entertaining
ly of her experience and the progress
of the mission work.
Miss Hlggins who is here from Libe
ria, and who has given two lectures tn
the work, of' civilixing the natives
there, spoke again on the same subject
Miss Hlggins has an attractive man
ner of speaking and holds her audience
weU. Her enthusiasm for the work
she has taken up to impressive and the
people she befriends have an able ad
vocate in her. As the other lectures,
the one yesterday afternoon, was very
interesting.
23 REPUBLICANS COULD OPEN
WHOLE TARIFF QUESTION
(Special to The Citizen.) . (
Washington. J. C, March 13. An agreement is. now in sight between the
warrhrar "Republican faction over Cuban relief. The basis of agreement is
the adoption of the ways and means proposition of a 20 per cent outright
reciprocity reduction on Cuban Imports,. the reduction to be limited to a terra
of years. The beet sugar men want the limitation to end in December, 1302,
but the President wants it to extend at least three years and this will proba
bly be the decision: " -v ' -.
v On this basis the Republican leader s are seeking to reach a unanimous
Agreement with the beet sugar men. th ereby ensuring the passage or a rule
for the consideration of the reduction bill which will prevent the opening up
of the general question of tariff redact ion. If as many as 23 Republicans re
fuse to agree, the Democrats, by Joining with them, could force the consid
eration of the amendments making reductions in other tariff schedules of the -Dingiey
met. This, of course, the leaders wish to avoid. "

of the troubles between the Russians
and American sailors last December by

American club in an effort to siese

OPPOSITION TO SUNDAY
FUNERALS IS GROWING
A recent dispatch sent by the Asso
ciated Press correspondent of Louis
ville, stating that the Ministerial asso
ciation of that place had oppointed a
committee of ministers to confer with
Louisville undertakers and officers of
cemeteries In an effort to do away with
Sunday funerals.
The opposition to funerals held on
Sunday is becoming general and for
the past decade the opposition has been
voiced at frequent intervals. The min-J
isters of Asheville seem to be of about
the same mind about the matter.
Though there has been no action taken
in opposing them the ministers are not
in favor of Sunday funerals if the fu
nerals can be held conveniently on any
other day. Though regarded as a. re
ligious service and entirely appropri
ate to the Sabbath, the ministers say
that funerals are too often held on Sun
day for convenience eake.
That day, a day of rest for most peo
ple, is the hardest of the week for a
minister who with two services a day
and frequenty "a meeting In the" after
noon, to hold, requires all his strength
for that work. The addition of a funer
al makes a particularly hard day.
Another argument given against Sun
day funerals is that extra work is given
undertakers, liverymen and cemetery
officials.
An Asheville minister told The Citi
zen that the ministers of this city have
frequently discussed Sunday funerals
and have agreed in opposing them ex
cept where circumstances make them a
necessity.
Only a few years ago in a New Jer
sey city, funerals were held regularly
on Sunday, the remains of the deceas
ed being held sometimes a week In or
der that the funeral might be held on
Sunday. Long processions of carriages
and much display and ostentation char
acterized the funerals, until finally the
bishop of the Catholic church issued
an order forbidding Sunday funerals
when more than three carriages were
In line. This had the effect of stopping
Sunday funerals in the New Jersey city.

the directors of banks; the oath of the
directors. Major Breese, he said, came
here with a record that few could
equal, recommended by his home peo
pie with their endorsement and came
here and solicited the general public to
deposit their hard-earned money with
him. He was selected as president be
cause of his reputation; bank presi
dents are not selected from those of
shady character.
The most Interesting feature or unit
ed States Attorney Holton's speech to
the Jury was his reference to the de
fendant's testimony in regard to the
amount he paid his lawyers. Mr. Hol
ton ridiculed the statement as to the
small attorneys' fees. He said that
such able lawyers as Senator Pritchard,
Judge Moore and Mr. Adams didn't do
business on that basis. The large
crowd present was considerably amus

started from South Carolina with $80,-

When he came here he began to take
the money of the bank immediately,"
said Mr. Holton. "He Is now 52 years
old; he was about 35 when he came
here. He says that soon after he came
here he drew out $20,000 from the bank
on his own and his son's note; his son
could not have been of age, therefore
the note was not valid. About the time
of the panic he began to build a new
house; his desire was to build a man
sion that would compare with Mr.
Vanderbilfs. When the panic comes
on then be begins to draw the funds
out of the bank, $21,000 to build his
house. He submits that proposition to
the board of directors. If he had let
that money remain In the bank the
creditors would now be $21,000 better
off than they are."
Mr. Holton spoke of the C. E. Graham
note which was replaced by the Leon-
and and Stiles notes. "Isn t this . a
violation of what you would expect of
man of character and reputation?"
he asked. "When he took the $33,000
