RaIeiph and AshevilIe.

From the annual report of chief
of police Heartt, of Raleigh, we take
the following statistics: Number of
arrests made, 1862 of them were for
drunkenness. There are fifteen pos
licemen in Raleigh, and the capital
d&the State is a dry town. AsheS
vile is a wet town, and has seven
policemen. The total amount OF
fines collected in this city during
the past year was 800, and the
number of arrests made about 1900.
Most of these cases were for carry
ing concealed weapons. fighting,
disorderly conduct, houses of i'll
fame, fast driving and minor of
fenses. This statement proves one
fact, i. e., that the police of Ashe-
vile are more vigilant than those
of Raleigh, and that the municipal
laws of this city are more rigidly
enforced than in the city OF oaks"
Capt. Waddell is to he congratu-
lated upon the efficiency of his de-
pertinent, and deserves great credit
for the effective work done by so
small force. Asheville has ten
thousand inhabitants, and under
the police apportionment should be
entitled to ten policemen instead Of
six The receipts from the departs
ment pay all the expenses of the
same, and we doubt if any town or
city in the State has a more Nigi-
liant, capable, or finer looking body
of brave men than the police of
Asheyille.

Visit to East La Porte.

Mr.. A. J. Blair has just returned
from a visit to the above place, a
neat little hamlet in Jackson
county. He went out on Monday
last with DR.. w. A. Nelson to
install the officers of East La Porte
Lodge, No. 358. After the installa-
ton the audience was addressed by
DR.. Nelson on the subject of Ma
sonrv. About five hundred per-
sons were present, including yisi-
tors from various parts of Jackson,
Macon and other counties. A
bountiful dinner was spread under
the shade of the grove which eur
rounds the Academy to which ans
pie Justice was done. After dinner
the Eastern Star degree was con-
ferred on numbers of ladies and
gentlemen, highly to their gratiica-
ton.
Mr.. Blair speaks glowingly of the
cordialitY and hospitality OF the
people of Jackson.
At Sylvia he was met by an escort
with carriage and taken to the
residence of Mr.. L. J. Smith between
Webster and Sylvia, and was there
Hospitality entertained during his
stay.
Mr.. Blair was much pleased with
all he saw in Jackson. The crops
were looking well, and the appear
ance of the fields indicated
good culture. Agricultural imple-
ments Of improved patterns have
been introduced, and there is gen
eral evidence of prosperous progress.

TRAINING SCHOOL.
An Asheville Boy Among the Grad
uates.

One of the most useful schools
in the country is the Baltimore
Manual Training School, where
boys and young men are thor
oughly educated in the practice
as we'll as science of mechanic
arts. During the past year there
were $50 students at this school,
and % graduated last week, one of
whom was Mr.. William ] Johnston,
Jr., of Asheyille, son of our towns
man, Capt. r. B. Johnston. Willie
completed the usual three years
course in two years, and won the
distinction of delivering the Hon
orary Address. The Baltimore
american says
"All the best specimens of the
work done by the boys in the
Manual Training School during
the year were on exhibition for
public yesterday. It can be seen
also to-day and tomorrow, be-
tween 10 a. m. and Up. N. It en-
braces work in the carpenters
and machine shops, forging,
pattern making, drawing, wood
turning, moulding, &c. It is all
good work, and of the most prac-
tical and useful sort. Such a
school deserves the most liberal
support. A stationary, horizon
tai engine of ten-horse power,
every part of which was made by
the graduating students during
the year, was shown in the front
room. It is a creditable piece of
work"
We congratulate our young
friend, and can only hope he may
win distinction in the great field
of his choice, the result of earn
est application and constant en-
deavOr.

Another Letter from Mr., Robbins.

Another Letter from Mr., Robbins.
We published recently the letter Of
Mr. j. p. Robbins, giving his reasons for
Withdrawing from the Republican party.
Ills. s.motives have been impeached, and
among other charges is one. that he was
angry because he was defeated "a can
didate for county superintendent This
he cmphatically denies He says his
purpose to leave his own party was
declared before he left Raleigh. He
refers to communication in a county
paper making these charges, and among
other things, says:
ga Friend" says that according TO my
hypothesis l will have to abandon the
Christi3n religion because some negroes
are in the church. l think not. left
the republican party not because there
were negroes in it, but because negroes
control it. 1 am willing for the negroes
to enjoy their political rights, but l am
not willing for them to control me IN the
enjoyment of mine. Just SO in church,
have no objection to negroes belonging
to the same church to which belong, so
long as they remain in their plat ESQ
long as they are willing to take back
seat and be taught, but when they want
to take control of the church, do the
preaching, SC, then l will say as l do of
the Republicans, and as l did o. the
Republican State Convention, there is
too much negro for me.

Within Our Gates

During the next three months, we
estimate that there will be fifteen thous-

present population at ten thousand, to
which We add five thousand visitors that
We expect to be here and at near by
hotels and boarding houses. The ques-
tion arises hoT are VIC to feed this
multitude?
That is q very easy qres ion TO answer,
provided you have the provisions on hand.
But suppose we should be visi ed this
summer with a bIizzatd. such as they
had in New York last winter, could we
pull through?
Well we hardly ever have saox storms
here at this season sure enough to stop
the wheels of crmmefoe, but you need
not be surprised to see our prices go a
great deal lower than the lowest point
registered by the thermometer during
the blizzard last winter.

We have prepared ourselves accordingly,

ANOTHER NUISANCE.
Detrimental to Health, and an A bonn,
Unable Practice.

We wish it clearly and distinctly
understood that the CITIZEN is not
waging a war upon the administra-
ton of the city, but that we con-
demn certain practices and the ex-
istence of nuisances now already too
numerous in Asheville. 1t is for
the health and the prosperity of
Asheville that we taken this course,
and it is our intention, firm and
fixed, to bring to light and urge the
abatement of every NUISANCE that
may come within our knowledge.
Thus it is that we again call the at
tention of the authorities TO the re-
moval Of garbage. excreta, and
filth, from the city during the daY
A eovered7wagon, filed with IN
filth, driven along the principal
streets of the city. carrying with it
stencil that is sickening beyond de-
scription, is not the thing to increase
the visitors love for Asheville, or
add to his high opinion oil the cli-
matte advantages to be obtained
here. Neither does it aid in pre-
noting the sanitary condition of /.
city that is so sadly lacking in
proper sanitation. On the other
hand, the foul odor that arises from
these wagons, although covered,
impregns tes the atmosphere and may
breed fevers and diseases, terrible
in their complication, and too nu-
merous to mention. Again, the prac-
tice is unsightly, and cannot be too
bitterly condemned by the citizens
and press. Ladies walk the streets
of Asheville, in the pursuit of their
various vocations, or TOR exercise,
and it is a shame that these wagons
should be boldly driven along, al
most by their side, the odors, foul
and sickening enveloping and sur>
rounding them on every hand. The
city authorities should put stop to
the practice, even if the price
charged for this removal is made

should be done. If this plan is not
adopted, take some other, of the
many remedies at hand for the dis
position of this garbage. 1t is a
shame and a disgrace that this state
of affairs should longer exist, and a
dark spot on Asheville'5 past history
that it has existed so long There
is a remedy for this thing, and the
people demand it. The future
health of the city demands it. The
Board of Aldermen represent the
people, and it lies within their
power to put this practice aside.
Will they do it? We believe they
will, and with that belief now in

We learn that the people living
along the Burnesville mail route,
are exceedingly anxious that dou-
BILE mail, at least, as far as Ivy, be
established on the route known as
"Star Route No. 1916"
There has been remarkable ard
steady increase in the amount of
mail along this route, that double
mail is absolutely necessary for the
convenience of the people,. If the

increase the mail facilities for these
people. very populous section of

WILL be greatly benefited thereby.

will be forwarded to Congressman
