Black Mountain, N. C, July 5. Special. Notwithstanding the fact that this is practically the first working day the farmers of this section have had in five weeks on account of ijalny weather, it became apparent as the hour of opening the joint canvass drew near today that the academy: would hnirt onlv a small portion of the crowd assembled. The meeting was therefor held In the grov. Announcements were made by the county candidates, followed by 25 min ute speeches by Curtis and Wilson. Hon.

The street car companies doubtless wish that every day could be the fourth of July as far as fares are con cerned. The day was exceedingly profitable for all the companies yester day, but the Asheville Street railroad and the A. & B. tame out especially well. The former company carried 522 more passengers than on any day pre viously In its history. It hauled a to tal during the day of 11,354 passengers and this stands as the record. On the Asheville & Biltmore road the total number of passengers carried during the day was 4025. The greatest number carried by one car was by car No. 4, conductor R. B. Williams in Charge. This car carried a total of 1210 passengers. The perfect manner In which the passengers were handled was a credit to the roads. There was not a single mishap during the day, notwithstand ing the fact that many of the cars had every available foot of standing room occupied. WHITE SUPREMACY NIGHT AT SKYLAND SPEECHES BY ZEB F. CURTIS AND ALFRED S. BARNARD. The white supremacy meeting at Skyland last evening showed the trong sentiment for the amendment that prevails there, and the sterling character of the Democrats that live In Limestone precinct. The train left Asheville half an hour late, so that the speakers, Alfred 8. Barnard, esq., and Zeb. F. Curtis, esq., did not arrive at the speaking until 10 o'clock, but in spite of this there were 55 people present. Mr. Curtis made a hort speech, and was followed by Mr. Barnard, who made a fine argument. The audience was enthusiastic. Mr. Barnard expressed himself as greatly pleased with the kindness and pa tience of the good people of the neigh borhood. M. Y. Rlckman was secretary of the meeting. WEDDING ON THE FOURTH. Prof. E.

He has accepted a position as electrical engineer at the Battery Park hotel. He received a telegram this i morning asking him to come at once. When it conies to city gardening, J. W. Haymond can give an object lesson that Is valuable. His large garden lies between East and Fulton streets, --and here in season are to be found the choice products in their richest growth. : Mr. Haymond Is giving especial atten ! tlon to tomatoes now, and the garden shows some of the finest specimens ever seen here. One of the specimens given The Citizen today weighed two pounds 1 1-2 ounces. Most of the tomatoes are of the Ponderosa variety, and the unu sually fine crop shows samples that will doubtless outweigh the one refer red to. Mr. Haymond's strawberry crop was very full, and the berries were among the finest seen on this market. His success is largely due to the care which he glvts to his plants, and the results are such as to cause expres sions of admiration from all who vTsit the garden.
