M- King, Clerk of the Board of Commissioners Improved Mail Service for This County Mrs. Pearson and daughter, from Troy, Ala., are at Mrs. Hunter's on South Main street. " The convention season is almost over. Up to this time we h lve escaped the drouth. Henderson county is to have its mail service improved. G. P. Conway, postofrice inspector from Washington, arrived here Wednesday, and expects to remain in this county for about six weeks, looking into various matters connected with the rural mail service and devising meth ods for improving the service. The same thing has been done in some other counties with very beneficial results. Rural routes, when first laid off, are largely experi mental; they cannot, at the start, be arranged to give ideal results. But after several years of actual use, it be comes possible to determine more accurately the needs and possibilities of the county and to rearrange and en large the service without additional cost. That is what Mr. Conway is here for. The routes in the county were laid off very well in deed. The service reaches a very large number of people and there is comparatively little overlapping. But of course there is room for improvement; and in every in stance where better service is practicable it will be put in operation. The general plan will be to afford the greatest amount of improvement with the least amount of distur bance of existing conditions. andemonium P Storm and Tumult Rage Many Weary Hours for Johnston's new Goods Just Rec'd.

C, July 12.-The democrats of the Tenth congression al district held their convention in the court house here yesterday. Ths court room was filled, and the delegates were noisy, tumultuous, and often obstreperous. The convention was called to order at 12:15. W. T. Crawford was made temporary chairman, various committees were appointed, and a recess was taken until 2 p. m. After recess A. Cannon was made permanent chairman, and made a short speech, after which nomina tions were declared in order. The following names were presented to the convention: J. M. Gudger jr., W. J Cocke, F. R. Hewitt, Walter Moore, S. GallerL Mr. Cannon then announced that he was called south by sickness in his family and re quested T. A- Morphew to act in his place until further action by the convention. The convention voted to recognize Mr. Morphew as per manent chairman. "Statute: of Limitations Pleaded in Democratic : Convention . to Pre vent an Honest Primary" The credentials committee report ed irregdarities, hi certain precincts in several counties reducing Gud ger'&vote according to the primar ies; a minority report was also sub mitted. L VL Bourne moved the adoption of the majority report; T.J. Rickman moved that the min ority report be substituted. A point of order was raised, that the county conventions having ; certified the vote, the convention .could not go behind their action. y: This point, if sustained, would rule out the f ma jorityv report of the committee.; A heated discussion ; followed, and finally T. Al Jones said that he had heard' of the statute - of - limitations being pleaded in court but had never J expected to live to see it pleaded in aTdemocratic convention vto prevent an honest primary. The chairman sustained the point of order. An appeal was taken ard the chairman's ruling was reversed by 155 to 147.95. Then the ma jority report of the credentials com mittee was adopted, 155.40 to 131.60 an anti-Gudger victory. Balloting then began. Three bal lots were taken, as follows: Gudger Cocke Moore Hewitt Gallert The First 147.58 75.42 35.13 13.71 25.68 convention Second 146.19 94.27 34.15 18.07 33.53 then Third 144.36 66.23 34.47 11.78 37.87 adjourned till 9 p. m. Pandemonium Reigns Supreme Wnen the convention re-assembled, the report of the platform committee was read and adopted. During the taking of the fourth i ballot, pandemonium reigned su preme. Before the vote was an nounced, the chair, stating that the change of the Rutherford vote was challenged by Gudger's friends, ruled that the change could not be made except by a two-thirds vote of the Rutherford delegation. I3 Special Sergeants-at-Arms Appointed to Try to Keep Order On motion of Frank Chapman, a sergeant-at-arms from . the delega tion of each county was appointed to keep order in their respective delegations. Delegates from Ruth erford claimed that their delegation was sent to represent the county and not in the interest of any par ticular candidate. A motion was made that the Rutheiford delega tion retire and settle their own mat ters, their action to be passed upon by the convention. . The chair ruled the motion out of orderand a dele gate pointed at the chair and shout ed, "Uncle Joe V Cannon." The fourth ballot , was taken without i a uiomination . , . . ' Vi (Continued on page 4) A Triumph of Engineering The recent news of the death of Major Wilson has recalled to the minds of many North Carolinians the remarkable work which he did in the construction of what used to be known as the "Western Carolina" railroad, the road from Salisbury to Asheyille.' We quote from the Charlotte Observer the following ac count of a part of that great work: 1 the Kound Knob is where the most wonderful engineering feat has been accomplished. In one veiw the track is plainly visible six times as it winds around the spurs up the steep slopes, now and then crossing little streams over a high bridge or trestle, and in doing so presenting-many wonderful views of valley and mountain. In contemplating this work and scenery admiration is divided between the natural scenery and the indomitable energy required to penetrate these strongholds. Possibly the greatest pieee of work and one to bring Major Wilson more immediately into the eye of the state and the world, was the conquest of the famous "Mud1 Cut." A very deep valley had just been filled up and the succeeding cut made a grade line to the depth of 95 feet. Suddenly a crevasse was made in the steep slope of the mountain side 200 yards above and the whole mass of earth slid down into the cut. It was attacked with vigor but the mountain slid down with inexorable purpose. The matter was so grave that the governor called his council together and Professor Kerr was dis patched to the work to aid with his suggestions. But Major Wilson was permitted, and wisely, to rely upon ais own resources and with charact eristic energy and intelligence he at once resorted to the California mode of sluicing. A mountain stream was pressed im to service ana its waters conveyed by a ditch or trough to a ' point 200 feet above the cut; it wai conducted by hose to the debris and turned upon it from th; nozz'e of a pipe. The effect was almost mira-' culous. The earth melted away like snow. The crystal stream below was' " changed into a muddy brook and thus was the quantity of earth dis charged. For weeks Milf Creek was discolored and turbid down to the Catawba. In six weeks, however, as f much work was done by six men as could have been done by 500 in six months by the ordinary way. On March 11, 1879, Major Wilson sent the following telegram to - Gov- ernor T. J. Jarvis: "We made day light through Swannanoa tunnel to day." Notice! All Privilege Taxes are now due and must be paid. Under the law I have no op tion but am compelled to col lect, and therefore I hereby request you to come and make settlement without de- lay. ,v,S;"----This notice applies to all Boarding-house keepers, Liv erymen, Draymen, and ALL others subject to privilege taxes of any kind in the town of Hendersonville.
