Au Old Gentleman Ends His Troubles
by Shooting Himself.

About 10 o'clock last night, an old
gentleman nearly 60 years of age, land
named Hammond, committed suicide
in McFal's Hotel, Bellevue, by shoot
ing himself in the region of the heart.
Deceased came to Bellevue from Salt
Lake City about one week ago, in
search of work. Having previously
been out of employment long time,
and being short of funds, he concluded
to end his troubles by taking his life

Mr.. Pearson's organ and hireling editor
ask why Mr.. Furman did not publish ali
of Mr.. Pearson's letter. We published
all relating to that matter; the Others
simply related to private matter. Any
person desiring to read the entire letter
and see all of its contents, can have that
privilege by calling at the CITIZEN office
We published enough to show that il
the railroad was paying the CITIZEN for
what it was doing, and Mr.. Pearson was
pocketing part of the pay he would have
been satisfied; not being paid for it, any
thing done by the paper not antagonistiC
to the railroad and in the private inter-
ests Of Mr.. Pearson was all wrong. The
people can Judge of this very we'll, and
eeeognize Mr.. Pearson's claims to un-
selfish patriotism. (?)
Let democrats be on guard. Every
effort, as has been shown, is resorted
to by our enemies to deceive de mo-
ocrats, and split them, and thus se-
cure a victory. Some so-called
democrats, with Mr.. Parsons mon
ey in their pockets, are working for
b Is ss1iiI other anti.democratic cam
dii4rt8eSS Sone, who came to the
convention and voted for Jones or
Gudger, are doing this. Let each
honest man in each township watch
such men, and keep clear of them.
All such are sneaks, and our people
viii be deceived and injured by fol-
lowing such.
A country farmer said yesterday,
my objection to Mr.. Pearson is
that when he might have helped me
OF the stock-law, might have de-
feated the measure by working
against it in the legislature, he not
only proved faithless, but contribu-
ted to the passage of the law by his
course. I do not like a man who
either deserts to the enemy or runs
away while the battle is going on
and proposes to do the fighting
after we have been captured. I was
opposed to the stock>law, but I can
have no confidence in Mr.. Pearson's
opposition to it or his ability to do
me any good if elected. I shall vote
against him, if 1 have to vote for a
square republican to do it." Let all
men examine Mr.. Pearson's record
ard see ifhe will do to trust.

Our Graham friends have not suf-
fered from recent frosts. We are
glad to hear it.
A number of visitors to Asheville
desire to rent small nicely furnished
cottages. Would it not be we'll for some
of our capitalists to prepare for such
demands. Such investments always
pay.
Our country merchants cannot do bet
ter than patronize our Asheville mer-
chants. The latter have purchased very
large, and very full and superior stock of
goods, and will supply all demands as
reasonable as they can be elsewhere.
Build up home market. 1t helps all.
We are pleased to learn that Mr..
W. B. Gwyn, who has been quite i'll
for some days, is convalescing. We
hope to see him out in a few days.
Mr.. J. F. Jordan, we are also glad
to state, is out of danger and recover
ing. We hope our friends will soon
be well.
ThCse who read the Advances reports
of the JohnstoH-Malone contest, who
have heard these gentlemen speak under
stand well enough5how much truth the
Advance contains. Its assertions concern
ing its chief patron, Mr.. Pearson, are on
the same line. They will not deceive
the people. The people of ofBuncombe are
not in the habit of taking as truth the
purchased statements of people.
Mr.. Pearson's paid poet says,
"Rally to Pearson, the peoples
defender" &c.
Why did Mr.. Pearson not defend
the people in the legislature where
he could have done some good, and
not encourage, by his course that
which his friends object to, and do
all his defending when it is too late
to do good?
Mr.. Pearson declared at Black
Mountain that he w,u'd vote Il e
democratic State ticket, thus going
back on his friends Lusk and 4Ma%
lone.
He said he would support those
on the local tickets who would supH
port him, thus pledging himself to
Fox, who, Mr.. Lusk's friends
claimed, was nominated over the
latter by fraud.
Mr.. Pearson is beginning to reach
out after the Fox's tail hoping to be
given lift, and is going square back
on Mr.. Lusk, ,::who drafted his plat>
form and helped nominate him by
the anti-stock law convention. His
organ denies Mr.. Pearson is on Mr..
Lusk's plattormA and Mr.. Pearson
said at Black Mountain he would
not vote for Mr.. Lusk for Judge.
He seems determined to 'cut' his late
friend and director on all points,
Well, Well!

and every thing passed off most or
derly, as we knew would be the
case without outside interference,
Notwithstanding the recent rumors
that Gen1 Jones and Mr.. Gudger
could not speak in that and Black
Mountain townships without a dis
turbance on the part of the people.
AS the CITIZEN said some days ago,
relative to this imputation upon
our people, they are not of that
class who tolerate disturbances on
public occasions. Being an honest
self-respecting people, they will not
permit that which would bring re-
proach upon themselves. There>
fore, everything passed off very
pleasantly at Coopers, as it did at
Black Mountain. The county can
didates opened the speaking, and
this feature was rather more exhil-
Grating than the day before, all the
candidates who have active oppo-
nents speaking with much zeal. Our
democratic candidates are sustain
ing themselves well, and making
friends.
Mr.. Pearson opened for the legis-
lature. He said that he expected
to have crossed the briny deey this
fall, and spent the winter in Spain,
and sailing upon the deep blue
waters of the beautiful Mediterra-
mean but that his great love for the
people of Buncombe had restrained
him, and he was here to stand by
them. Told the people what a
beautiful country Spain was, and
how he longed to be there, but that
he could never, no never, leave Bun
combe so long as fences. aid't exist
in one part of the counuy and did
in another, or words to that effect.
He said he was poor man, very
poor man,-true he was considered
rich here where every body was go
very poor, but if in New York he
would be considered very poor
man. Notwithstanding he was so
very poor, whenever one of his hear
ers paid one dollar tax he, Pearson,
paid one hundred and fifty dollars.
He was fernent the way the stock
law was passed, and denounced Sc
Verely the county commissioners
and county Justices. He was very
severe in this denunciation. Re-
ferred to his effort to prevent
Asheyille from shifting all taxation
for county purposes upon the coun>

circular letter No. 1, exposed in the

Gudger and Jones were a complete
refutation of the assertions and as
sumptions of Mr.. Pearson, each Of
the gentlemen reading from the re-
cords showing his inaccuracies and
Inconsistencies. Mr...Wells, republi-
can, spoke also, dealing in much
good humor but no argument, and
kept the crowd in good humor.
Democracy is gaining daily. Let
all of our boys work however, until
the day of election.

WORKING THE co1oRED BRErHnEN.

On Tuesday evening Mr.. Bill Beaver,
who is one of Mr. Pearson's chief lieu
tenants, hired team in Asheville for a
party of mixed patriots to go to Arden to
teach the colored brethren of that local
ity how to vote, and specially that they
must vote for Pearson to go to Raleigh to
repeal the stock law and do other things
against the white property owners of
Buncombe and Western Carolina. The
distinguished delegation which was sent
out from town to run the country colored
folks in the interest of Mr.. Pearson, was
composed ofHon. Geo. Greenlee, colored,
Hon. Charles Lane, colored, Hon. John
Brown, colored, and Mr.. - West. At
ter these loyalists reached the place they
met some few voters, and proceeded to
work their lungs in behalf of Mr.. Pearson
to the full value oftheir employment. A

BOARD OF TRADE AND THE srocK

| LAW.
The Board of Trade and the To
bacco Association of AsheEille ar
largely responsible for the passag,
of the stock-law. These bodies ar
composed of influential business
men. They are supposed to b.
level headed citizens, men who hav,
at heart the interests of the entir,
population, specially of our farming
class. They are supposed to ac
with deliberation, and, when they
pass resolutions, to know what they
are doing.
Is it forgotten, that on February
the 21st 1885. a large meeting of the
Board of Trade and Tobacco Asso
citation passed the following resolu'
tion:
"ResoZced, That tbs meeting o.
the Board of Trade, Tobacco Asso,
ciation. and citizens of Asheyille is
strongly in favor of the stock-laW
now pending in the Legislature, and
requests our Senator and Represen-
tatives to use their exertions in
securing its passage.
This resolution was offered by w
T. Penniman, Esq, a well known
democrat, and personal and politi,
cal friend of Mr.. Pearson; and ii
was passed unanimously. Further
it was passed, right upon the heels
ofa speech made by Mr.. Pearson,
who was making a short visit tc
Asheville, to ascertain public senti.
ment upon this and other questions
pending Ill the legislature.
Who knows what great weight
Interpretations had with Mr.. Gud-
ger and Mr.. Jones in their support
of the stock law? On the day these
resolutions were adopted, the stock
law bill had only passed its second
reading; it could readily have been
modified or defeated altogether on
its third reading if it had become
advisable to do so. If thatmeeting
had protested against the will in.
stead of favoring it, who knows what
its fate would have been? Certain
ly, such an expression from so po-
tential a body as the Asheville Board
of Trade, the Tobacco Association
and citizens generally y in joint meet.
ing assembled must have Influenced
more or less, the action of our rep
resentatives.
Messrs. Jones and Gudger obeyed
the voice of these great organiza-
tions, and of the hundreds who pc.
titioned them; and surely it would
be unfair and unjust, for the mem
bers of those Organizations, who
were present at the meeting Feb. 81,
1885, to turn their backs ON Jones
and Gudger, whom Mr.. Pearson de-
nounces for doing what the Board
of Trade and the Tobacco Associa-
ton by public resolution unani.
mously requested them to do, in
his presence and hearing and with.
out word of objection from him.

CoRREsPoEDENCE.
Owing to the pressure Upon our co..
umns We have to abridge our CORES
pondsnce, but will endeavor to give the
pith of what they write:
"a citizen" writes from Mills River,
relative to the charge made against Mr..
Johnston for removing Mr.. Case, the
post master of Gypsey post Office, and
says: Case was not the post master; ].
M. Ballard was, and Mr.. B. resigned, ard
Case, who had been assistant to Ballard
sent up his name for appointment, but
being too young the department would
not appoint him. And Mr.. Johnston
would have been justified in removing
him had he been appointed, as he was
very busy circulating documents against
Mr.. Johnston two years ago. As to the
removal of the post Office to remote part
of the district this is false; it is now more
convenient to the majority of the people.
1t does not matter what may be said by
the AdUance, Capt Johnston will get
majority of both parties in all this ssection.
Another friend writelt from Henderson

Messrs. Johnston anC SffSione at that
point, rese1ting With PC nd sation.

sion as reflections upoF-ssS ) Intelligence
of that people. The Flopdoodle paper
cannot make votes by such misrepresen-
tations for its Flopdoodle candidate. Mr.
Johnston's speech was, like all his others,
able and honest, and created great en-
thusiasm, and, while a few disgruntled
men may vote for Maj Malone, all the
thinking men of the county will vote for
Johnston.
(We will say to our friends that no
one was deceived by the statements of
the Adua,ace, its reckless disregard of the
truth has impressed those who read it,
and the people of this section who know
the people of Henderson have TOO high q
regard for the latter's intelligence to be-
lieye any such reports about then.)
