NORTH PACK 8Q0ARB
One of the Interesting subjects
brought up for discussion at the regu
iar weekly meeting of the Asheville
Rotary club yesterday was the idea
of having a United States cruiser or
gunboat named after the city. The
Idea was proposed hy Dr. J. B. Greene,
ana met with prompt commendation
on the part of many of the business
men, one of the arguments for the
feasibility of the idea being the fact
that Asheville has contributed more
recruits to the navy than any other
city In the state; and the argument
also being advanced that this was an
especially good time for making such
a proposal, as the secretary of the
navy was a citizen of North Carolina.
It was determined at the meeting that
the secretary of the Rotary club
should write to our congressman, both
senators and Secretary Daniels, asking
that this honor be conferred upon
Asnevme.
There was much discussion over the
prospect of having two large conven
tions In this city In the near future,
letters having been received from
physicians stating that Asheville
would receive favorable consideration
as the next meeting place of the
Southern Medical convention. A com
mittee was also named to invite the
fourth district Rotary conference to
meet In this city, this conference in
cluding the Rotary clubs of the Caro
Ilnas and Virginia. There is a pros
pect of International Association First
Vice President Brunnler of California
and National President Pldgeon of
Canada, high officers In the Rotarlan
organization, being present at this
conference.
As representative of the travelers'
aid committee of the T. W. C. A., N.
Buckner asked a donation of $60 a I
month, as salary for an extra secre
tary at the depot of the Southern
railway, and the matter was left In
the hands of the directors of the club
for consideration.
The sheriff's officers were searching
In and about Blltmore and the coun
try out toward Arden last night In
quest of Calvin Kuykendall, a seventeen-year-old
boy who Is charged with
naving snot urnest Miller, a negro,
yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
The shooting occurred near the Bilt
more road in South Blltmore after t
aispute, wnicn bystanders claim was
over the possession of some tools, and
which occurred among the men who
were doing the concrete work in the
paving of Summit street. The exact
causes of the quarrel have not been
stated definitely, the best account of
it having been given by Porter A.
Webb of Reed and Webb, who brought
tne wounded negro to the hospital in
his car and then reported the shoot
ing to Sheriff B. M. Mitchell.
Mr. Webb stated that he was on the
Blltmore road, when suddenly he saw
negro break from the top of the
slope near Summit street and run
down the hill. He saw a boy with a
shotgun at the top of the slope, saw
the boy raise the gun, and thought he
was shooting rabbits. Then as he
realized that the gun was aimed at the
fleeing negro, It was discharged, and
Miller fell almost at his feet. Mr.
Webb stated that Kuykendall walked
away, carrying the gun, and dis
appeared In the direction of his
home. A search there later on die
closed that the boy had stopped long
enough to change his clothes, dis
carding the old garments and the
weapon and had then taken his de
parture In the direction of Arden.
Latest reports from the Mission hos
pital stated that the negro had been
badly hurt, but could not state how
serious the wounds might be.

T. L. Gwyn, of the state cattle test'

the board of trade that ha will be
present at the livestock meeting on
November 17, and that Mr. Peden,
representative of the animal husband
man division of the agricultural de
partment at Raleigh, will also be
present.
Mr, Gwyn states that the increased
production of livestock Is a very Im
portant matter to the country and that
this section Is unusually well adapted
to the livestock Industry, producing
cattle at the least possible expense; In
fact, but little care and almost no ex
pense, using the splendid pasturage of
the mountains during both winter and
summer, as has been proven by tests
made by the department with one
hundred head of eattle which were
recently shipped from Clyde. These
cattle showed Increased weight and
better oondltion than cattle that were
housed and fed, he said.
Dr. H. H. Briggs has some very fine
Tamworth hogs and will exhibit two
pens of them at the conference.

Many of the Gems found in our Mountains

The Points That Count
T7VEN when you look an engine over carefully there
J- are a lot of features you are liable to miss unless
you are a trained mechanic or have someone to tell
you what certain points mean, and why they are sood
or bad.
For instance, our Mogul kerosene engines have machine-molded,
sand-cooled, heat-treated cylinders and
ristons. Now, that's probably all Greek to you unless you
ave had some experience with a foundry and a machine
shop, but those features, which even a trained observer might
easily miss, add a good many rears to the efficient service of
a Mogul kerosene engine. They mean better comprsssion, more power from
an equal amount of fuel, httie or no chance of cracked castings, a longer
iMhng. better working engine. Before 700 boyrour engine, giveaeachanoe
tosbow you how high-grade Mogul engine m built, and why, whoa m
y any sua from 1 to 50-H. P, you get such good ralue for your SBoaey.
