poor. affairJ
and both unanitary
and not fire
proof.

brought before the board will
not be settled until. the meeting

About the Asbestos Mine.1
Press dispatches over all the
state have have beet talking of an
asbestos mine abouft to be opened ,
near Stony .Point, by one Chas.
Lambert, of Philadelphia.
There iiTa supply of asbestos at
that place, but whether Lambert
will do all he says he will is the
question intrabt. .Lambert is a
journeyman printer -and was at
this office, where he worked for
three or four days, and from his
appearance, we do not judge that
he could be a ry large power hi
operating the mine. f,
; Why is it that nothing was said
about the Matter until he got
away f rom JStatesville ? '
The man who owns the land on
which the supply of asbestos is
found, has no confidence in the
man, and says he does not believe
he wiirgeiTany company organize
ed, as he said he would. -

Prohibition Fight in Tennessee.
Nashville, Tenn., Monday 4.
-The Tennessee legislature meets
this year with every indication
that the fight for Statewide
prohibition will be the chief is-
Bue of the session. Both sides
have lined up for. the fray and
the struggle undoubtedly will be
a; bitter one.
Mr. and Mrs. C. AV. Martin oi
Charlotte, are in thee ity today.
r Got His SEoes Mended.
Papers were issued this morn
ing for Marshal AVhite, colored,
who is j now sojourning at the
camp of Capt. Henry, on the
charge of false pretense.
White was formerly employed
by L. A. Goldman as delivery
man. He went fo Mr. J. S. Fry's
shoe shop on or about the third of
December, Htvith a pair of shoes,
telling Mr Fryjhat they were Mr.
Goldman's: shoes, and they were !
.wanted as boon asthey cuold be
finished.
Mr. Fry told him to come back
that afternoon late, and he could
get them. Lifter AVhite went out,
Mr. Fry's son" remarked to him
that he did not believe that Mr.
Goldman's feet were as large as
the pair of shoes, ' but nothing
more was ever said about the
matter. -
AVhite returned that "afternoon
and got tKe shoes, having the bilj
charged" to Mr. Goldman. Of
course like all other business men
dio, on the firs?, Mr. Fry came
around collecting bills and pre
sented the pill toMr. Goldman;
for mendinga pair of shoes.
Mr. Goldman informed Mr. Fry
that there was some mistake and
told him that he did not owe
the bill, as he had not had any
shoes mended.
Investigation rested the matter
on the shoulders of AVhite and- the
papers were sworn out.
AVhite is serving his sentence
now for being drunl? and disorder
ly on the streets on December the
16th. ' ' '
He will be tried at an early date
before Judge Jas. King. "

Better Streets.
Statesvile is "the best town in
the stat in fcome respects, while
in others it is not. Now we vvant
it to be the best in all respects, so
why not start its right away with
the new vear.
The worst needed thing in the
city is good streets. Every one
Who walks knows that the
side. walks aresimply impassible
in some places on. account of the
mud.
Take SouflTOenter street for in
stance, just at the depot, where
the carriage stand it situated. A
stranger getting off a train, and
starting over to the city may not
want to spend that quarter for
riding over in a cariage.
The first thing he hits; when he
starts to the cTfy is blaek mud
nearly ankle deep. Now that, is
s a bad impression made on hi.si
mind on the start. ,
Coming on towards the city he
is in a continual slip and slide in
the mud on the sidewalk, and by
the time he reaches the citv he
- . v
has it laid up for' them.
But when ie gets over in the
business part of the city, he for
gets it all in his surp'rise at seeing
nice buildings we have.
But still, this is neither here nor
here but all over the city, for
all the streets are in the same fix.
AVhy- not issue bonds and make
he improvements. AH other pro
gressive cities in the state are do
ing it, and why not Statesville.
Some argue that they want to
pay as they go, but the other cities
do not pay for their good streets
as they go.
.Let us hear from some one on
this subject, for there is all the
space you want in this paper to
discuss the matter.
