Two Tlews astofbt Jarvll Appoint-1
ment.
Today's Charlotte Observer pub
lishes a special from Asheville
as follows: "There are two opinions
here regarding the appointment. One
is Jarvis stands closer to Vance
than any other . public man, and his
appointment will not prejudice any
man's case in the west. When the
legislature meets a western man will
be elected and the appointment gives
every western man a fair chance.
Mayor Patton said ' 1 have the most
absolute confidence in Gov Carr's
good judgment ad patriotism, and
would endorse v ' iog he would do
unless directly oV jkry to my judg
ment of what wv-' best. I recognize
Jareis as a goop 'man, ever distin
guished by propr4&tdf conduct, and I
s pplaud the got ernof ' appointment.'
The other opinion is that the western
Natt Atkinson and J Pi Sawyer say
the enttMwettfiUi . jjaxi of the state
is dissatisfied. A prominent man
said that if Jarvis antagonizes Ran'
som the next legislature will re-elect
Ransom. Many others are of the
same opinion. The last opinion ap
pears to predominate."

The circus was here yesterday. It

A Question.
What has become of the agitation
of the question of the increase in the

being enforced and our business men

suit among themselves as to a remedy.
