The election to be held" In Ashevllle
next Tuesday to decide whether or
not the city will adopt tha commis
sion form of government, which Is
sweeping like a tidal wave across the
country, promises to be tha most In
teresting one ever held in Ashevllle,
In that business men will close their
places of business until twelve o'clock
and go to the polls with profeslsonal
men and 'politicians, of all parties,
laying aside all affiliation and vote
for that which Is deehied best for the
future growth and prosperity of Ashe
vllle. Never before has so much Interest
been manifested In a question whloh
has no political aspect. The leading
politicians of the democratic and re
publican parties have declared that It
was hot born In politic, and have
united for Its adoption by the city.
The election Is the leading topic of
conversation on the streets for the
laat few days.
As In' all questions, there are some
who oppose a new form of govern
ment on the ground that the present
government Is a "heritage from an
tlqulty." and that the city ha pro
gressed under Ita administration and
principles for thess many years. The
commission advocates sound ths note
of progress and contend it Is time to
lay aside old form and adopt that
which Is progressive,

Many business houses of the city
have signed a petition to close their
places of business on Tueday until
noon in order that business men and
employee may go to the polls and
work for the Interest of that which
vitally affects th city. Representa
tive of all classes of voters look upon
It as a non-partisan move, and one
in which politic has to take Its stand
In the background. Prominent lead
ers of both political parUes have met
together and discussed the principle
of the proposed form of government
with the same point of view.

effect that coca-cola contained caf

All the witnesses during the week
testified that coffee and tea contained

Insisted that the effect is not ss harm
ful In coffee as In coca-cola on ac
count of th-natural oils In coffee
which offset the effect of the drug.
However, the attorneys for the coca

experts saying Just what effect caf
feine In coffee has on the human sys
tem, what amount of the so-called
drug Is contained In a atlpulated
amount of coffee and the possible
danger. This Is taken to Indicate that
the case will not stop with the coca
