THE ASnVILLECrriZEK1. MONDAY,. OCTOBER 14, 1918. 5 3 llSHEVlLLE BOY TELLS : OF GREAT EXPLOSION CHAIRMAN J. G. BROWN SENDS OUT APPEAL I'RGES GREAT EFFORT HO.ND8 THIS U'EEK. FOR Men of the Mountains Likewise Read Carefully the Following Statement The Buncombe County Republican Committee ap parently desires registration officials to violate the laws of North Carolina in their zeal to secure the registration of persons who have not complied with the law, or are woe fully ignorant of the provisions of the same. In the affidavit of one J. N. Ware? or J. R. Ward, as published in The Citizen of October 13, he states that he "registered under what is known as the 'Grandfather Clause " and failed to have his certificate recorded in the clerk's office, and that he has lost the same and that he is unable to . secure the same and that the registrar refused to register him because he could not 'furnish this, certificate. The law does not require this voter or any other voter to have this certificate recorded. The names of all persons who registered under the "Grandfather Clause" are entered on the per manent roll of voters in the clerk's office, and also in the office of the secretary of state. If the voter loses this certificate, as this man Ward claims to have done, he can secure another certificate from the clerk and registrar and vote. Section 4329 of the Revisal of 1 905 reads as follows: "In the event of the loss of such certificate the nerson entitled to the same, upon the payment of twenty-five cents, may obtain from the Clerk of the Superior Court or from the Secretary of State a certificate under fur official teal to , the effect that his name is on the permanent roll of registered voters from his county in his office, and such cer tificate shall in all other respects take the place of such original and be used as such." If Mr. Ward registered under the "Grandfather Clause," let him comply with the law and secure a certificate from the clerk and he can register. Otherwise he cannot. The registrar to whom Ward applied to register told him that , he must se cure this certificate and that he could not be registered until it was produced. This is all there is to it. ' This cry of the Republican Committee is only another case of "Wolf! Wolf! when there is no wolf." They are continually "suspicioning" some honest democrat of wrongdoing. Let them .comply with the law, and they will have no cause to complain. BUNCOMBE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE FANCIER PRESENTS HERD OF BUFFALOES SIX BISONS . WILL BE SENT HERB SOON. From tbe Stock of Austia Corbln, Wealth? New Haenp-hlr Ston cieg ... Ohm Throng Society. A herd of si buffaloes la to be sent to the government's PJsgah. Forest game preserve, according to the- an nouncement of th local forestry offi cer. Tho animal are to bo th It I ft of tho American Bison society, whose president. Edward Seymour, has writ ten that tho bisons, will be shipped by express within tho Immediate fa- inn They are from the Blue Moun tain herd of Austin Corvln, a wealthy New Hampshire fancier who wants some of hie animals included among those which the government has planned to maintain In Western North Carolina on a large scale. It is not known Just when the ani mals will arrive, but It Is expected that It will be only a very short time The will bo shinned to Hominy sta tion, from which' point they will be transported In crates to the place of their future residence. Mr. Corbln's herdsmen are experienced in ship ping the animals and no doubt is en tertained that the herd which has -been selected for Western- North Car olina will bo received, hero In splendid condition. -. -. ' " - The government has about SOD acres of land fenced la for the animals' pasture and the herd of buffaloes will make a welcome addition to tne pres ent flocks.-" There are-no buffaloes .t - - nlan. avkb.H Ih. 'ft. ernment had made to send some to Hominy having been interrupted by the outbreak of the- war. Transporta tion conditions have been suoh that the government has made no effort to increase the number or the variety of the animals. Now, however, it Is un derstood. Mr. Seymour has perfect' ed arrangements for delivering the presented herd. Some elk were sent to the pasture several months ago and the custodian recently counted two bulls, seven cows and two calves. He believes that there are more than that within the enclosure, though. There are a good many deer there, too. Eventually It Is planned to make the local preserve one of the best In -the country, the government having made ambitious plans lor tne care of the animals to be placed there. The preserve would have been stocked some time ago but for the war. The pasture Is well fenced and immedi ately following the resumption of nor mal activities en the part of the for estry service, the Western North Car olina preserve will be found ready for the receipt of any animals that the government desires to send nere.

It usually runs Its course within a week, but often extends into ths air cells of the lungs, causing pneumonia or a septic bronchitis. "As a throat specialist In conjunc tion with my Office practice.
