His Purpose To Gain New Ideas For His Own Estate In West Virginia He Is Accompanied By His Daughter, Mrs. S. B. Elkins. (Asheville Citizen, March 30th.) Mr. Henry G. Davis, honored by the Democratic party as its candidate for the position of vice president of the United States in the recent presiden tial election, and ex-United States Senator from West Virginia, arrived in Asheville yesterday from Washing ton upon a several days' trip of pleas ure and recreation in these parts. Mr. Davis came in his private car, "Graceland." in which he takes all his trips of great or smafl length. He is accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Elkins, wife of United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia. Tney are stopping at Battery Park- hotel. Mr. Davis' principal object in mak ing this trip to Asheville, be told a re porter at the Battery Park hotel last evening, is to go over ;5Utmore," Mr. Vanderbilt's estate. "I have a con siderable estate of my own in West Virginia, and I hope to gain several ideas that will prove of value to me," he said. "I was here about three years ago, and at that time went over the estate, but I understand that the work that has been done upon it since that time has been great indeed." Mr. Davis was seen in the parlor of the hotel. The stories that were told during the campaign of his wonderful vitality, in spite of his eiehty years, were well borne out by the cordiality and graciousness of his manner. He does not appear to be a man of more than 60 years. Mr. Davis' home at Elkins, W. Va., is one of the well known estates of the country. It is there that Senator Elkins, his son-in-law and opposite in politics, and Sen ator Kerens, of Missouri, who figured so prominently in the recent senatorial content in that State, also reside, and the vast industries that Mr. Davis has built up and the coal mines he oper ates there have made Elkins on of the busy cities of West Virginia. Mr. Davis is evidently an admirer of Mr. Vanderbilt's efforts in making Biltmore what he has, and he express ed his pleasure last evening in having learned that Mr. Vanderbilt was at the estate, expressing his intention to call there. Mr. Davis' trip will not be a long one. He expects to return to Washington within a few davs. NEWS FOR THE REP MEN. A Tribe To Be Instituted At Ashe ville In The Near Future. To The Editor of The Sun. HENRIETTA, April 3. I was glad to see my little article found space in your valuable paper, and it gives me pleasure to write a few more lines this week from the hunting grounds of the Tuscarora Tribe No. 414, for I believe if tha Tribes will report their work through The Sun it will be a benefit to the Order, and will also increase the circulation of one of the best papers I know of. A few Suns ago I received a Speaking Paper from the hunting grounds of Asheville asking me to bring my Wam pum belts and hold a Council with the pale faces. I answered the call at once and trailed to the Council House, which is situated on the bank of the Tacheostee river, and flows from the Sapphire coun try through the Land of the Sky. The result of the Council was, after the long talks, we smoked the Calumet together and exchanged Wampum belts and fifty pale faces signed a petition for a Tribe to be instituted in their hunting grounds. This Tribe will be instituted the last of this moon. The Order is in a very flourishing con dition at this time and judging from the number of pale faces who have been adopted within the last three moons, and also the great number wlio are seeking admission to the Council Chambers of the different tribes, it will not be many Great Suns until the Red Men will have a membership equal to that of any secret order in the Old North State. Wishing you success in all your laudable undertakings and that you may live a long and happy life and soon become a Red Man. These things have I spoken; they have gone forth and shall not re turn. POWHATAN.

The quietude of the mid-Lenton sea son was broken Wednesday evening of last week. The occasion was a recep tion given by Miss Matt Miller, in honor of her charming and talented cousin, Miss Mae Lucile Smith, of Henderson ville. This is an example of when the opportunity and the woman met, and the result is the most pleasant and nota ble event of the season. As one entered the hospitable home of the hostess, he was almost bewildered by the dazzling beauty of the scene. Flowers everywhere and great banks of evergreens. From the oil paintings, hanging along the hall way generations that have gone before, and who miHisteT-ed to the pleasure of multitude, they seemed to look down from their stiff old-fashioned stocks, and quaint old laces and smiled a welcome to all. One was reminded of Shake speare's lines in Henry, VIII. As one entered the reception hall he was met by Mrs. James McBrayer, as sisted by Miss Alice Guthrie, who wel comed the guests in a most pleasing and cordial manner. The color scheme of the reception hall was yellow. Almost hidden away in a bower of yellow jessa mine, jonquils and golden rod, Miss Mayme Simpson, dispensed with queen ly grace, the cherry nectar, from the ever popular punch bowl. As one pass ed from the reception hall toward the parlor he was met by Mrs. Myer Levi, who was assisted by Mrs. M. A. Brice, and they presented the guests. The col or scheme of the parlor was pink. The soft light from many candles, mellowed by pink shades, caused a halo of beauty to cover everything. The candle sticks old and of unique design showed that they had seen service in the long ago. In an alcove of the parlor, banked with innumerable potted plants, and aspara gus ferns, and illuminated, with pink shaded candles. The portieres of the alcove were caught back with long streamers of pink satin ribbons. There, in a gown of black faille satin and white chiffon, with a quiet dignity and a dis tinguished air, so characteristic of her Relf, Miss Miller received her guests and presented them to her cousin, Miss Smith, the honored guest of the evening. Miss Lmith met our townsfolk, with an exquisite grace never bold, ever pres entwhich just a few women possess. In the dining room the air was redolent with the fragrant breath of blue hya cinths and bridal wreaths, and there a delicious bouffet collation was served. The invited gtiests were: Judge and Mrs. M. H. Justice, Judge T. A. Mc Neill, of Lumberton ; Mr. and Mrs. K. J. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Dick erson, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Erwin, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Craton, Mr. and Mrs. James Mc Brayer, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Eaves, Mr. and Mrs. Myer Levi, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Mills, Rev. and Mrs. J. D Arnold, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. M. A. Brice, Misses Bar tlett, Miss Alice Guthrie, Miss Mayme Simpson, Miss Carson Home. The men were: Col. Sol. Galiert, Dr. T. B. Twit ty, Robert Simmons, Joseph Flack, Ed gar Flack, George Bartlett, James M. Carson, R. M. Twitty, W. C. Twitty, Rev. S. L. Cathey. DEATH OF MR. PeLANE.

CLIFFSIDE, April 1. Wigwam of Modock Tribe No. 36. We were anxious to hear from our neighbor Tribes last week, but we guess they were off on a long hunt and did not return in time to write, or at least I hope so. We capture a pale face astray in the forest occas ionally. We have one for the adoption at our next Council. We have scalped fifteen pale faces since last cold (Janu ary) moon, which is very good work for a town of a small inhabitance, and we hope to scalp all in our hunting grounds before taking a rest. All of our chiefs that have been un able to follow the hunt will be able to follow the hunt in a few days. There were two chiefs with our chiefs of Waseta Tribe and one of Delaware on the last hunt. Come again brother chiefs and any other chiefs that can make it convenient. We are always glad to have you with us. Brother Zeno Humphries has received from Great Chief of Records Goodwin a totem of N. C, for doing good work, and we think that there will be more here soon. Brothers get around and get the right number and the right kind and the badge of .honor will sure come. Brothers write and lets hear how many totems have come to your Tribe. We would be glad to hear of several in this Western North Carolina before our next Gt. Council, which we think will be the best ever held in North Carolina. Bro. Shoope will represent Modock Tribe No 36 in this Gt. Council for our Gt. Sun. Our next Council will be held on the sleep of the first sun, plant moon at the seventh run and the 30th breath.
