TIE scHOoL-HoUsEs.

The work of excavating for the two
new school buildings is progressing well,
and will continue to be pushed forward
with all due haste, as the brick contract
ors are snxious to begin operations. 1t
is expected that the buildings will be
ready for occupancy at the beginning OF
the next term, and there can BOW be seen
no reason why they should not be.
There is every reason, however, why
they Should. The Council appropriated
S25, 900 to purchase sites, erect the build
ings. and furnish them and the ex-
penditures will about reach this sum.
They may perhaps exceed it by a small
amount. The two lots cost between
1903 and $1,000, and the erection OF
the two buildings Will according to the
contracts cost SIS, 02L. 19-$l1,27S. II for
the one Tor the white children and
s., 749 for the one for the colored chill
dTen.

THE OBJECTIONS.


This lot. the purchase Of which Is coutsm-
plated, IS Immediately or closely adjacent 70
good buildings already erected. the value Of
which will be greatly deprecated by the location

Immediately IN tho rcar OF the residences OF

aud close 10 others. And your patitieneys be-
love that tho same reason which has impellcd
your honorable body ct "A cost OF several thou
soad dollars TO remove the jail iTsm its present
location should iDauce you 10 pause and coz
slider the matter we'll before deciding finally
70 place IL at The point now c0ntemp plated.
They believe il VIII prove a nuisance, and Of tho
worst form. o SEINE Of tho most valued citizens
OF tho ward, aud render theg present residences

Who're site for jail building eau at present
be 30 EASILY selected remote from private resi-
deuces and closely.iubRsited localities. your pc
titioners most respectfully represent that il
would be doing tkem Rn isiustice to persist in

contemplated. Therefore, they pray your homo
rable body not 70 do so, but with an eye TO me
evils abevo p0iRted OUT. 70 select some more
suitable site where th9y may be avoided"
The committee reported that they had
purchased tho lot and unless there is
some trouble about the title the bargain
Will doubtless have to be carried out.
Besides it would be hard matter to
find better site within Tie corpora
ton.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Chief Waddcll in his report to
the Board of Aldermen to morrow
night will make the following re
port OF the workings of his depart
ment for the month Of February:
During the month 122 arrests
have been made as follows: Officer
Smith; As; Hampton, %; Deaver, Is;
Harkins, IA; Mcdowell, II; Rowan,
IA.
The small number OF arrests
made by officers Harkins and Deav-
er is explained BY the tact that the
former has been confined by sick
LESS nearly all of the present
month and the latter has been ab-
sent on other duty
Total amount of fines collected, ,
including receipts from scales
amounts to S317.1O. This amount
lacks only S42.90 of being enough:to
pay all the expenses of the depart-
ment for the month Just closed.
Of the prisoners arrested num-
Der were discharged and a number
who were put on the streets to
work, escaped.
This is very good showing for
the department, and clearly demon.
strates the fact that the department
is self sustaining branch of the
municipal government.

DO We dig our Graves,wIth our Teeth.

Some say we do; others again act as if
they thought so. However, this may be,
it is truth that many people contribute
to their early decline by marked imp nd.
ences. One of these is clearly shown to-
day by hundreds who disregard the laws
OF health and expose themselves to the
Vigors of winter without due regard to its
consequences. What are these, you ask?
The death roll will tell you. The answer
is Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Group, Whoep-
ing Cough, Colds and Asthma, and the
severer pulmonary troubles usually can
be traced to these ex poeures. This should
be avoided, and can be somewhat, by the
timely use of Pelham's Pectoral Syrup,
at % cents a bottle. This Syrup is en-
dorsed by everybody throughout New
berry and surrounding counties, and in
North Carolina. 25 cents for Pelhams'
Pectoral Syrup. d&wtt

In the February report of the
commissioner of agriculture consid-
cradle attention is devoted to the
subject of farm animal in the vari
Gus Statee. The State agent in
South Carolina reports that live
stock are in a normal condition,
end there is a marked improvement
in their care and keep. The season
has been mild and no disease is re-
ported of an epidemic character. In
North Carolina stork-raising is be-
ginning to attract the attention of
progressive farmers, and the result
has been the importation of some
fine stock, which have furnished
bIooded breeders to a number of
counties adapted to the industry.
The cattle, horses and mules are
better fed and housed than former-
ly. In Georgia there is a tendency
to increased care in the breeding
and general care of stock of all
kinds. A number of counties re-
port quite an Interest," developed in
the breeding of horses and mules.

brain or hand where the work is to
be done, and each one depends on
his own personal capacity for his
success.

AsHEvILLE's INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES.
The CITIZEN continues to day it's re-
view of the various industrial enterprises
of Asheville. 1t will be continued from
day to day until every interest is fully
and fairly presented. The citizen desires
to make complete report ofwhat Ashe.
vile is, and what it ought to be, hoping
thereby to help Asheville, and show its
claims for consideration. We will thank
all citizens for any aid they can give us
in this direction.
TIE ASHEvILLE BROOM FACTORY
Was started in this city in September,
1886, by Mr.. II. n. Lockwood, practical
broom-maker from New York At first
the enterprise did not receive that en-
couragement which lie had been led to
believe would follow the establishment
of such al institution, but this did not
deter the proprietor from keeping up a
business that is to-day paying a hand
some percentage.
At present he employs six men and
the capacity of the factory is ten dozen
per day. Nothing but the best broom
corn is used, and this he buys in large
quantities from Kansas, Nebraska and
Illinois. The best maple and Eastwood
handles are used, and these he purchases
by the gross from New York and Michi-
gan markets. He finds that these han
dies can be boughtscheaper, and better
quality of article furnished, in these
markets tthan at home. Since the es-
tablishment of this institution Mr.. Lock
wood has sold AMI shipped over three
Thousand dozens Of brooms, ranging in
Trino frnpo lO1lor 70 Ioll
a-half per dozen. The principal market
for these brooms is South Carolina, and
as yet, the first complaint has 10 be made
regarding the quality and price of his
goods. The factory is located on Patton
Avenue, and the proprietor extends a
cordial invitation to visitors to inspect
his works.
THE ASHEVILLE BoTTLING WORKS.
ger ale and soda water factory is located
at No. 217 Haywood street. and is one of
the infant industries recently established
in this city. Mr.. Campbell is a native
of New York, and came to Asheville
March 18th, 1887. Immediately after his
arrival he began the manufacture of the
already famous "Queen" brand of ginger
ale which has such wide sale through
out Western North Carolina. In addition
to this specially he manufactures supe-
rior grade of soda water, which is highly
recommended and prescribed by local
| physicians in cases of feysr, and AS
tonic for ladies in feeble health. All
kinds of mineral waters are bottled and
