l.For the AsHkgfIiE CITIZEN
WHY NOT2 400 &

Why not stop all the fuss about the
fence law business and let everybody
have things as he wants them? If the
people of Black Mountain, Avery's
Greek, and Upper Hominy are opposed
to the law, Why should Asheville and
other toYnships force it on, them? In
my opinion it would be best to let those
townships 80, and If they want to, keep
going, so that they don't carry the bal
ance efusfwith them This would. Ger
tainly stop much bitter discussion, and
in the end wotfld establish the law on a
firmer basis than itnow has. Let the
county commissioners call, ajoint meet
ing OF the magistrates of the county,
which can be done in a very short time,
and let this joint, meeting draw in the
fence so as to exclude the townships
that don't want to go with us, and no
body will be hurt. Messrs. Commission
ers and Magistrates, come to the rescue,
and give US gentle. sweet peace. You
can do it. You are the leaders of the
party, and as SUCH. you should avoid the
course that will most assarcdly uiye.ai
and comfort to the enemy. Would it
not be thousand times better to draw
a line that will separate the elements of
strife, and thus nip in the bud brighten
ing hopes of those broken down pol
iticians who expect to build themselves
up, upon the misfoltunes of cur people
Gentlemen, pause and consider! Let
our sister townships depart in peace.
Perhaps they will return to us, in the
sweet bye and bye, ifai DEMOCRAT.

FAIR MATTERS.

FAIR MATTERS.
1t is gratifying to us to be able to state
to the public that the Fair authorities
are manfully at work perfacting each and
every detail, and arrangement by which
all can be assured of complete success
at the coming exhibit. The public spirit
ed people of the different counties, and
especially the county committees have
an important work before them, how
ever, which must not be neglected, to-
wit to bring out their products for ex-
hibition, and induce as many as possible
to turn out and take a part in this work
which means so much for this section.
1t is hoped and believed that many
thousand strangers will be here to see
what we will have to show, and we need
hardly suggest or say how much interest
we have, as a section-in this occasion.
We would excite if possible your sec
tional pride-the love you have for your
beautiful mountain country, your fertile
soil, your health-giving climate, pure
water and every inducement you have
in doing your utmost for an object and
enterprise which is fraught with more
importance than any other public matter
for which you have been called to act.
Think not in taking some pains and ex-
pense in aiding in this most worthy en-
terprise that is time lost and expense for
nothing-verily no. By putting your
shoulders to the wheels and helping
roll them up the hill you are sure to feel
much qualification after the work is done
that some of the glory is yours, for we
are well assured that grand success
awaits the efforts of those energetic offic-
ials and friends of the cause who are
working so untireingly in this matter.
The premiums are very liberal indeed
especially on agricultural products and
there can be but little doubt that the ex-
hibit in this line will be one worth all
your trouble to see. Let the county
committees appeal to their friends to get
up their products and articles to be ex-
hibited, and see to it that, as many as
possible come and take part in the
grand rally which we trust our mountain
people have determined upon.

THE AnrrRNArrvE MANDAMus.

/ L
Great interest is felt in our county oyel

on the No-Fence question, which was
heard by Judge Gudger at Webster this
week. We published yesterday evening
3 telegram from Webster stating that the
Judge failed to grant the injunction ask.

ing the necessary taxes and building the
fence; but instead granted an Alternative
Mandamus allowing the Board of Com
nissioners and the chairman of the Joint
board of Magistrates to convene the
Magistrates and hear petitions from the
townships; or to appear before him at
| Franklin, Macon county, on the 10th
inst,s and show cause why they should
not be compelled to do so.
! The effect of this mandamus, as we
understand it, is to restrain the county
commissioners from any action in the
execution of the law until the question
in the mandamus shall have been decid-
ed. In the meantime we learn it is the
purpose of the counsel for the commits
sioners to appeal from the granting Of
the mandamns, and that the counsel for
the plaintiffs ireserve the right to appeal
from the refusal to grant the injunction
prayed for.
The order of the Judge granting the
mandamus was served upon the officials
| to-day.
Messrs. ]. II. Merrimon, Johnstone
Jones and Gudger and Carter appear for
the county commissioners, and Messrs.
F. A. Sondley and M. E. Carter for the
anti fence plaintiffs.
Black Mountain Township is the only
township appearing in the immediate
suit, but it is understood that this is only
test case for any or all of the seven
townships outside of the six townships
embraced in the legislative enactment.
The plain English of the whole matter
is, we believe, that the failure to obtain
the Injunction makes the law absolute
in the entire county, Notwithstanding the
mandamus. unless the Magistrates shall
have been convened before the first of
November and shall allow Black Noun
tain or other townships to withdraw.

Mica shales and mica schists abound

them much of economic value. The
rocks of Buncombe attainable to us are
much contorted, and there is great diff
fculty in procuring proper stone for side
walks. Henderson county has an advan-
tage, and can supply the world.

While Judge Roundtree was making

yesterday, the prisoner attempted to
clean out the court room. He was seiz-
