The political meaning of last

are a good many people who.
though'not interested is politics,
are interested in business and
who are eagerly figuring en
the relation of election to busi

an upward tendency will be .shown

pute between the States of Ten-1 John G Grant gven the
provements?
The same contractor
nesseeand North Carolina over
their boundary was decided today
by the Supreme Court in favor of
North Carolina.
The dispute arose over the ex
act location of the State boun
dary as projected by a commis
sion in 1821. Both States laid
claim to some 40,000 acres of
mountainous timber land near
Slick Rock Creek and for years
each State has imposed taxes on
the lands.
Justice McKenna, in announc
ing the court's decision, said that
after careful consideration of all
the arguments tKe evidence, in
cluding the usual amount of con
. flictingr expert testimony, the
court found the line to be as
claimed by North Carolina.
AMENDMENTS
It appears that all the amend
ments are defeated. This is greatly
to be regretted. ; v
- -The Times tok..W",e. -pjlo last
spring to explain the amendments
and urge their adoption; and our
folks certainly piled up a big major
ity for them, but we were swamped
by the adverse votes of other coun
iea. ftsneciallv in the Piedmont
c
section I
The main fight against the amend
ments was caused by the seventh
which proposed to reform our obso
lete methods of taxation. It was
natural that this reform should be
opposed by malefactors of great
wealth; but it is unfortunate that
the opposition prevailed.
1 Henderson county gave an
average majority of 1127 for the
amendments. Following is a list
of the amendments with the ma
jority which Henderson gave for
1. To change the term "War
of the Rebellion" where used to
"War Between the States."
The majority for this was 1140.
9 To increase the compensa
tion of members of the general
assembly to $360 per session, and
decrease their mileage.
The majority for this was 1113.
3. To limit local, private and
special legislation by the general
'assembly.
The majority for this was 1115.
4. To change the day of inau
gurating the governor.
The majority for this was 1 107.
5. To prevent delays in trials
by providing emergency judges.
The majority for this was 1135.
6. Removing obsolete sections
from the constitution.
The majority for this was 1116
. 7. To revise and reform the
system of revenue and taxation
The majority for this was 1136.

Owincr to repairs which are

the school is taking an unexpect

that the work which is now be

also reduce the coal bills which
have been disastrously large.

about $325,000.

COUNTY VOTE BY PRECINCTS
"WATCHFUL
WAITING"
Residents on North Buncombe
street are still practising a policy
of "watchful waiting" in the
matter of long promised sidewalk.
And the city authorities are do
ing the same thing. There is no
sidewalk: the city has not even
established a grade or indicated
where a ridewalk is to be. And
property owners who are anxious
to improve their property are
held up until they know what
the grade is to be. Long, long
ago a sidewalk was promised.
Recent information is that the
city authorities "have been talk
ing about it." There is a grow
suspicion that the policy of
watchful waiting isn't what it
is cracked up to be.
