With one of the defeated candidates, Mr. Gardner, read,y to do battle for the party's nominee in the coming campaign and assurances "It is the duty of the county boards of education or the city board of trus tees to determine what salaries shall be paid, ' the letter reads. "The city superintendent and the county superintendent are the best qualified parties to determin how much shall be paid in any school. ""Each teacher knows, or should know, what kind of certificate she holds or will hold by the opening of the schools next year. Each teacher knows also how long she has been' teaching, what her prep araton has been, and whether she has continued successful experience in the same school." Dr. Brooks makes it plain that the county superintendent or city super intendent is responsible for the ron tract with the tearher and the state ers asking for this information, he stated. The Biltmore Estate Company of Biltmore has been chartered with an authorized 'capital of $700000. Of this amount $60,000 has been paid in by Burnham Colburn of Asheville, $20,000 by Thomas W. Raoul of Ashe ville, $10,000 each by W. A. Knight of St. Augustine and Junius G. Adams of Asheville.

(By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. Hoffman Island, de tention station of the New York quar uuuiie service, now nas an average transient population of more than 1, OCM a day, due to the inbound rush of --" """"S10"10 Tfo lion ivniv swnn -n 4n in addition, the five doctors at tached to the station have given up all thoughts of vacation and are work ing, one of the quarantine officials said, to the limits of 'human endur ance in vaccinating, fumigating and (inspecting prospective citizens and their families. The reason for the unusual call for the services of Hoffman Island is said to be a misunderstanding on the part of Italian officials and steamship com panies respecting United States pub lic health regulations. Travelers from districts where typhus and pther rans mitable diseases prevail are supposed to be "deloused," examined and cer tified as "clean" by American public health officers before they 1?oard the ship. These regulations are not being complied with, owcials here claim, and therefore the delousing and fumigat ing must be done before the traveler is landed. The expense of the work here is charged to the steamship com panies. During the last week more than half a dozen ships have arrived from ports where typhus carrying suspects could be taken on board. All of these ships have been detained in quarantine while the steerage passengers, num bering from one to 2,000 on each ship, were taken off on barges, landed at Hoffman Island and detained for 24 to 48 hours. During the detention they are com pelled to, take a thorough bajh from the tops .-of their heads to the soles of their feet. Their clothing, baggage and effects are; put through a bath or live steam. From Hoffman Island arrivals are taken to Ellis Island for examination by immigration authori ties as to their qualifications. 13 WATERBOTTLES OF , WHISKY PROVE UNLUCKY DANVILLE, Va. J. B.

Federal officers were .waiting for Wilson when he came in from Patrick county and his two grips were taken in charge at once. About seven gal lons of corn liquor was contained in the rubber containers, which showed signs of good usage. GIVEN $13,500 DAMAGES IN CASE FOR DEATH OF WD7E ASHEVILLE. Holding that the company was negligent in that the runaway train which last November tore down the mountain side, in Gra ham county, and crashed through ""his home, killing his wife, the jury in the United States district court here returned a verdict awarding R. H. Brown $13,500 from the Babcock Land && Lumber Co. A verdict of $12,000 "was 'given Brown for the loss of his wife and $1,500 for the destruction of his home and mental anguish.

Bronze Statuary in Breslau is Rernoved For Safe Keeping BRESLAU, Germany.; Unable toj check the despoiling by metal thieves of monuments in the public parks, the police have decided to remove to places of safe-keeping all bronze statuary which can be easily trans ported.

None of the garrison, including 37 members of the Durham comoanv. and a number of armed citi zens, were wounded. Jim Ray, it was determined rather than a machine srun bullet.

Increase, Of Course, Means Revision Of Freight Rates Upward. CHICAGO. the United States Railway Labor Board today awarded two million dollars to the organized ! labor workers, making their wage inj- creases totalling six hundred millions, i This increase amounts approximately . to twenty-one per cent of the present j wage scale. Railroad officials have declared that any pay- increases awarded the men J must be followed by corresponding In creases in rates, and tney plan to file, new tariffs Avith the Interstate Com-, merce Commission as soon as prepar ed.

Immediately on re ceipt of the labor board's announce ment, the railway executives here went into conference to frame recom mendations to the interstate com merce commission for rate advances to meet the added expense of six hun dred millions to carriers. The com mission now has under consideration the application of the carriers for freight rate increases to- provide ad ded income of one billion seven hun dred millions annually, but these in creases do not take into account any wage advances.

Fun, tff course, always plays a conspicuous part in the deliberations, but this had to slip away for the time being and give place to pathos. This emotion on the part of the Nuts was genuine and from the heart. The whole cause of this sadness was the fact that 'Swede' Swanson, the big-hearted,, whole- souled, jolly, good sergeant-at-arms, is to go backlb Missouri. Last night -Was Swede's last chance to sit around the festive board,, swap yarns, enjoy the delightfu eats, and smoke Burney Warren's choiceHayahas. Swede leaves next week for, back home, but says that he 4s coming back to the Southland- where' hospitality reigns and chicken "iS fried. President Sam tJnderwood presided with unusual ability and dignity last night, due to the fact that Paul Clod felter presented him with a gavel of -choice wood and metal. - Some say that this gavel was first cousin to a tomahawk; others- said it was a twin brother of a Ratchet; still others said it was a sledge hammer. No matter its workmanship, it had the desired effect on Haywood Dail, who address ed President Sam as "OlGal." The meeting opened with a lovely (?) solo by Bill Hall entitled. "Chilly'- which he finally merged nto the "Old Oaken Bucket." 'Bill's first effort came near being a bust, but-Iie caught himself just in time f and made up for lost time in the second spasm. After all of the nuts had recovered from . the Bill Hall shock", Rotarian Bobbie Crow was called on for hte blessing. Bobbie was there with the goods. His words wer,e snort and sweet for" Jas per Winslow had just a moment be fore whispered to him, "We have fired chicken tonight."
