1t ought to be clear to any n who has
the most elementary knowledge of the
laws of etiquette that to disturb others
needlessly in the enjoyment of a dearly
purchased pleasure is evidence Of very bad
manners. Musical people suffer more
from such Interruptions han persons
whose ears are not similarly refined can
imagine; for the true colors of a Wagner
ian score are as exquisitely delicate and re-
fined as the evanescent films and colOrs of
a soap bubble, SO that the mere rustling

A New Wagon Tire.

A recent English invention is a CORFU
gated rolled steel wagon tire for use in
towns where street cars are run. The
object of the invention is to assist the
wheel to get out Of the train line and
thus avoid skidding of the wheels and
the wrenching of vehicles and horses.
The invention consists in what may per-
haps be described as q series of stopping
projections on each side of the felloes of
the wheel.-St. Louis Republican.

At the Lakes BOTTOM.

Bright green moss has been discovered
growing at the bottom Of Lake Leman, in
Switzerland, attached to the calcareous
rocks 200 feet below the surface. Moss
has never been found at SO great a depth
below the surface of the water, and it is
considered remarkable that ~chlorophyl,
the green coloring matter of plants, could
have been SO richly developed at SO great q

A Large Crowd and Good Speeches
Great Enthusiasm.

Over one thousand people listened
to an elegant speech, one
hour and half by Hon. Alfred NJ.
Waddell, electorsat large for North
Carolina, yesterday. 1t was a pow.
erful address, and the strictest at
tention was paid TO the distinguished
speaker throughout his remarks.
Many republicans were also present,
and from one and all, the word went
forth that t'Waddell had made the
best speech Of the campaign. At the
close of Col. Waddell's speech, Hon.
Kope Elias, the distinguished State
senator from the Fertieth district,
addressed the assembly in a ringing,
democratic speech, of nearly an hour.
Congressman Thos. d. Johnston fol-
lowed Mr.. Eliass in an eloquent and
powerful speech, of an hours dura>
tion. Mr.. Johnston carried the peo-
pie by storm, and made one of the
best speeches of his life. Each of
the speeches were loudly cheered, and
drew from the crowd many words of
commentator. Great enthusiasm
prevailed, and the occasion was one
of the happiest Of the campaign.
Everybody was pleased, and Democ-
racy gained much ground at Waynes-
vile Yesterday.

Buncombe Tobacco.

From Mr.. S. II. Lyle, of the
Farmers warehouse, we learn
that the tobacco crop in French
Broad township, while a little
late, is yet the best he has known
for several years. Particularly is
this true of the crop of Mr.. G. G..
Brown, who has thirty-seven
acres of the best tobacco in the
township. MessrsJ. L.Peek, Frank
Wells and J. 4. Gwaltney also
have excellent crops, and will
soon have the same cut, cured
and ready for market. The pros
poets for a big trade this year,
Mr.. Lyle thinks, are the best
ever known in the county, The
crop is a little later, but this will
have no serious effect.

A GREAT DEED.
The Hiwassee Railroad Subscription
Passed by a Large Majority.

We briefly noticed in yester-
days issue the vote by which the
people of Cherokee county as
sumed the obligation of a bonded
debt of $4,000 as their contribu-
tion to the building of the Hi
wassee road to connect Murphy
with Chattanooga. It is not in
itself very large sum, only $780,
900, a sum insignificant in pro-
portion to the cost of the whole
road. But relatively, it is large
amount; for the assessed value of
the property of the whole county
in 1888 is only $1,341,275. The
county, at q meeting of the COM
missioners in June last, author
lied the issue of bonds to the
amount of $4,000, the proceeds
of which are to be applied to the
construction of a new court house
and jail, and an iron bridge across
the Hiwassee river at Murphy1
This makes the obligation as
sumed 100000, a large sum in
proportion to the assessed value
of the property of the county.
We commend the pluck and ad-
mire the faith of the people of
Cherokee who boldly go forth to
meet the future, weak in their
present strength, but reliant in
the growth of bone and muscle.
What Cherokee is now they know
she will not be in the coming
years. They Enow what is stored
away in the depths of the earth,
what treasures lay on the surface
of the soil, what forest wealth
crowns the sides and SUBMITS of
her mountains. They know that
all these things will spring to
economic life the moment they
are touched by the magic wand
of the railroad. They know that
what lies idle and useless now
will come to use, and crown with
wealth the energies that bring
them into use. And they can
forese with hopeful and intelligent
eye the Transformation to follow
the awakening of the thousand
sleeping resources into active be-
ing; they can see what the crea-
tion of the facilities of transpor-
tation will bring in its train, the
influx of population, the inflow of
money, the introduction of man
featuring enterprise, the stimrla-
tion of every energy, the shaking
off of desponde1cy or Incidence,
the elastic springing up toy ew
life, and the revolution al 10
yation of every form of socraf and
business life.
Cherokee may have risked
much by it's recent vote. She de-
serves applause for ker faith and
courage. Eut the time is near at
hand, when comparing the COM
ing active future with the dull and
waiting present, she will be sur
prised that there were ever two
sides to a question, the solution
of which resulted in such magnifi-
cent fruits.
