MONDAY, JULY IS. 1900. THE aSIEEYILLE DAILY CITIZEN. 3 SUPt VENABLE AT HO 'IE FROM CHARLESTON Where1 He Attended the N. E. A. Convention. EVERY VISITOR SHOWN THE HOSPITALITY FOR WHICH CHARLESTON IS NOTED. County Superintendent Venable re turned Saturday night from jCharles ton, where he attended the session of the National Educational association, professor Venable was elected a mem ber ot the executive committee. Thursday he read a paper before the association, which the Charleston News and Courier speaks- of as fol- lSuperlntendent S. F. Venable of Asheville, N. C, read a very enter taining paper In reference to the schools which he has established In the mountain districts of, North Car olina He showed how a school sys tem provided for a-tate 600 miles long could not meet the requirements of ho nponle. On the coast the summer mnnths were tod hot for small children . o-n lrmir distances to school, and In the mountain sections the winters acted as a preventive against attend- ..n. An Ironclad system could not 0 revised to suit the two sections, and so it was that the coast had been accommodated with winter schools, ,.hirn effectually 'froze out" the small children of the mountains. Professor Venable has started some summer ichools In the mountain section and expects great results therefrom. He said it was time that the legislatures of Alabama. North, and South Carolina and some other southern states should rlon to elve the children of coast and mn.intaln eaual advantages by hav different seasons for the school ie terms." Professor Venable says that the meettmr was well attended, but nt nearly as much so had been expected. The, supposed cause of this was the heated term so general over the count: y and h members BUDDOSed It would be nre in Charleston. Somewhere In thi. neighborhood of 3500 werj in at tfndan.ce, from all parts of the United States. The delegation from North r-nrollna was small, among which V'fiv Dr. F. P. Venable, president of the state university; Dr. Mclver of the state Normal. Prof. P. P. Claxton nf the State Normal, Supt.J.D.Eggles tnn nf the Asheville schools and Pro fessor Pearson of Statesville. Pro feasor Eggleston returned to Vin?IHr. where he Is spending his vacation. Prnfenanr Venable's iiunresHions of Charleston, after iin abs-jnee of 4;i'4 years, were very .1ell?ntful. So far as he knew every effort was mad? to ex hibit the same homt;i'Uy for vnich Charleston has always bifii noted Every facility was Given to see ovcy thing of interest ubout the -ity; rpe clal excursion yrrmsments being made daily to visit places of Interest One of the most pleasant was crossing the bay to Sullivin's island, where there is a 9'A-mile rile on the trolly over Sullivan and Palm islands, elv ing a ride of ov.r 20 miles ns delight ful as can be conceived. Take It al together, the trip muat have been ex ceedingly pleasant to all. SUMMER LIFE NEWS FROM BUCK MOUNTAIN THE HEAT DRIVES MANY PEO PLE TO THE MOUNTAINS. DOUBLE TRACK QUESTION ON SOUTH MAIN STREET CORRESPONDENT PRESENTS HIS OBJECTIONS. Editor The Cltlien: As the laying of two car tracks on South Main street is of as much importance to the general public as it can be to the two roads in terested, I beg to submit a few tacts, after viewing the removal of the A."& B. from the sidewalk: The street Is only 40 feet wide between the curblngs. The distance between the steps of a passing Blltmore car and the' east curbing is just 13 feet four inches. If the second track is laid, as suggested, the distance between the passing car and the west curbing will be precisely the same. The allowed roadway for a vehicle la seven feet. So it will be im possible for vehicles to pass each other on either side of this street if two lines are running 15-minute schedules. Nor can a buggy or carriage stop on this street, and give room for another vehi cle to pass, while these cars are in mo tion, and there is no assurance that both lines will use the same schedule or otherwise. Besides the two lines are to occupy the crown of the street, and the trav eling public will have to take the two sides that have a slope to the curb of 6ft inches in a fall of say 14 feet This will have a tendency to skid the wheels against the curb, and with a shying team there would be great danger to the vehicle and lives of the occupants. As to the suggestion that carriages could drive with, safety on or across these tracks,- after the new style ot rails are put down, it Is simply ridicu lous. On two 15-minute schedules on the street, it would take a driver with more than two eyes and a very fast team to keep out of harm's way. Hence two tracks on this street would be a great menace to the driving public and the countryman with his wood and produce is equally imperiled. What Is here said of South Main bears with more force on the driveway through Kenllworth and Victoria as this street is scarcely 30 feet wide with a steep hill and in a deep cut most of the way. The only questions to be asked are: Does the public In the city, the towns of Kenllworth and Victoria, and the large country travel over these roads ask for or demand two roads? If no one Is to be benefited save a private cor poration. does not the risk and lncon venience overbalance any argument that can be brought to bear In favor of two lines? Does not one road satis factorily do all the carrying now of fered? And Is it not able to do so for many years to come? J. W. A. A RAZOR REGIMENT TO FIGHT BRITISH CAMPAIGNERS FOR WE DEMOCRACY Judge J. H. Merrlmon, Hon. W. T. Crawford and Charles A. Webb, esq., will address the citizens of Buncombe county at the following times and place: 6and Hill, grove near R. J. Gaston's store, upper Homlny-i-Monday, Juty 23.

At each of these meetings a brass band will be in attendance, arid a bar becue will be served. It Is hoped that large crowds will turn out to hear these distinguished speakers and to hear the vital issues of this campaign thoroughly discussed. There will be torchlight processions in Asheville Thursday night, July 26, and Monday night, July 30. Good speakers will be on hand to make speeches at various parts of the town, along the line of the procession. W. B. Williamson, John Y. Jordan, and George S. Powell will act as marshals- in-chief, and they will have an able corps of assistants to be appointed from all over the county.

An old man In Georgia named Jack Baldwin, having lost hi's hat in an old dry well one day, hitched a rope to a stump and let himself down. A wicked wag named Neal came along just then and, quietly detaching a bell from Baldwin's old blind horse, approached the well, bell In hand, and began to tlng-a-llng. Jack thought the old horse was com ing, and said: "Hang the old blind horse; he's coming thi9 way, sure, and he am t got no more sense than to fall in on me whoa, Ball!" The sound came closer. "Great Jerusalem, the old blind fool will be right on top of me In a mlnlt whoa, Ball whoa. Ball." Neal kicked a little dirt on Jack' head and Jack began to pray: "Oh, Lord, have mercy on whoa, Ball a poor sinner; I'm gone now whoa, Ball Our Father, who art In whoa. Ball hallowed be thy gee.Ball! gee! what'll I do? name. Now I lay me down to si gee, Ball! Just then in fell more dirt. Oh, Lord, if you ever intend to do anything for me back. Ball! whoa thy kingdom come gee, Hull! Oh, Lord, you know I was bap tized In Smith's mllldam whoa. Ball! ho! up! murder! whoa!" Neal could hold in no longer, and shouted a laugh which might have been heard two miles, which was about as fur as Jack chased him when he got out. DESK WANTED A roller top pre ferred.
