A CONCERT

At this place is being arranged for,

ews of Boston, the lady who read so

evening. The time and programme

c. W. Harrington, the former ed
itor of Levi Fuller's organ, the West
River News, perhaps it was some
body else's organ, too, but no matter
we should always speak respectful Of
the dead, SO Lewis organ will do),
leaves town to-day with his family for
Bridgeport, Conn. After the demise
Of the News Mr.. Harrington engaged
in farming, but has now sold his crops
and otherproperty to j. C. Gale and
goes to Bridgeport to engage in news
paper work. We wish him good luck
and better paymasters than he found
here.
Much injury is done by the use of
irritating, gripping compounds taken
as purgatives. In Ayers Pills, the
patient has a mild but effective
cathartic, that can be confidently rec
commended alike for the most delicate
patients as well as the most robust.
A SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.
Last Sunday, about o'clock Will
lie Temple, who lived with George
Curtis, in coming down from the head
scatfold of the barn, missed his hold
upon the ladder and fell to the floor,
striking on his head and fracturing
his skull and from this injury died
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of
Monday. Mr.. Temple was picked
up from the barn floor in an uncon-
scious condition, but upon water be-
ing thrown in his face at once rallied
and walked to the house. Here he
vomited but soon seemed to recover
and made no further complaint with
the exception Of saying that his head
ached. At night he proposed going
after the cows but Mr.. Curtis would
not allow it. He dl ank cup of tea,
went to bed and, apparently, slept
well. At ) in the morning he called
to the family to know the time, and
when told said that he would get up
and do the chores, but was told not
to. A short time after this he was
again taken with vomiting and after
wards went to sleep from which he
never awoke. DR.. Millington was
called in in the forenoon and upon ex.
animation found the skull fractured
but thought it not best at that time tc
operate upon it. Death resulted, in
all probability, from the breaking Of
a blood vessel among the tissues Of
the brain.
The deceased was quiet, molten
sive, unmarried man, aged 20. Flu
neral services were held at Mr.. Cur
It's residence on Tuesday, Rev. w

ONLY EIGHT MILES.
The WeaVerVllle Electric Rail-
way System Again.

DR.. w. w. Wing, one of the active pro-
jectors, asks us to correct an error into
which we and the public generally have
fallen by force of habit in speaking of
the distance between Asheville aud Weav
ervilc His correction has weight, when
in railroad construction, distance is an
appreciable element, entering seriously
into the question of cost and estimates.
DR.. Wing says the distance iseight miles;
and by route which can be adopted,
having also lighter grades, it can be re-
duced to seven and a half miles.
This road, if built, will give us the long
est electric railway in the South; and
when the Sulphur springs road is finished,
will make AshevilIe the center of the
most extensive electric railway system.
The whole will use the Sprague system,
not at all affected by its assumed failure
in Richmond.
We will not presume to say, that when
the road is built, Weaverville will be a
suburb of AshevilIe. 1t has it's own indie
pendent sources ofgrowth and prosperity;
it occupies one of the most beautiful and
eligible town sites iii the mountains, and
it is already in state of healthy devel-
opment. Nevertheless, it will be greatly
helped by being so near a town as pros
porous as Asheville; and our business
men, with hourly railroad facilities may
not find Weavervillc too far for conven
lent homes, should they find themselves
becoming crowded for room here.

TROUBLE IN PORK.
The October Corner Has Been
Taken Into the Courts.

CHICAGO, October l The rumorS OF
corner in October pork, which have been
hying around for several days, had GER
tain color given them this morning when
ATTORNEYS Brisbu, Ahrus and Decker APP
peared before Judges Tuley and Collins IN
the latter's chamber, and asked tor an
Injunction to restrain the Chief inspector
of the board of trade, and the committee
of the board on provisions i'll options.
from issuing certificates, declaring pork
packed in October to be merchantable
and standard. The complainant who
asked for the Injunction was W. 5. wal
lace, of the firm of Sawyer, Wallace q
Co., large New York commission men.
Wallace AYERS that he has contracts tor
large amounts of October pork; that
under the rule as it now stands, pork
packed during this mouth is not dellvera-
!le until it has remained in cold storage,
and that the men who have sold the
complainant October pork, being short,
are seeking this means to fill their con
tracts. On behalf Of the defendants, 1t is
admitted that this pork must remain IN
cold storage thirty days, but contend
that it is deliverable on contracts, and
declare that to rule otherwise would i'll
Aict a hardship on ''shorts," because the
complainant is running corner Ill Octo'
Der pork. The judges took the matter
under adviSement.

happy are those who breathe the pure air
of these grand old mountains and peace
ful valleys.
Who is to blame, that these terrible
roads continue as they are? Not the leg
islature, because at their last session they
passed an act which was acknowledged
by all who wercin a position to judge, to
be wise and conservative, not rudely
breaking up the old traditions, but pro-
viding ian alternative method of road
working" suppementing the labor OF
the poor man by very moderate tax
upon the rich one. And still this law can
not be put to trial. Are the people op-
posed to it? We do not believe they are
If candidly advised of its provisions, we
think the Mcdonald road law would re-
ceive large majority of the popular
vote. But the magistrates seem timid
about it. These magistrates are an ex-
cellent body of men. We know they sim
cereIv wish to do what is best for their
people, and we must hope that some one
9f them will inform us, through yourcOl
umns, of the cause of their tinidity, and
especially whether he can suggest any
other method of relieving our county OF
the evil of bad roads, which'like canker
worm is eating up our substance none the
less surely because perchance unperceived
by the thoughtless victims.

WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH
Let the Manager Respond and
Explain this Matter.

Explain this Matter.
We learn that at 1915 clio k on Mon
day a telegram was received at this
office, announcing the death of the father
of the lady to whom it was plainly ad-
dressed; that the messenger in whose
hands the dispatch was placed for de-
livery, at 1890, was informed that this
ladv's residence was on French Broad
avenue, within ten minutes walk of the
place in which he received this informa-
ton; and yet, the sad tidings did not
reach the lady until o'clock-too late
for her to take the train to attend her
fathers burial.
If this statement is correct, and THE
CITIZENS columns are open for its dis
proval, heavy responsibility hangs
upon the manager of this Office. He
must have known from the nature of the
dispatch, that it's prompt delivery was
important, and 1t should not have been
entrusted to any careless boy who might
be employed as messenger. The man.
agcr should have himself seen the receipt
for the dispatch delivered within fifteen
minutes after its receipt at his instru.
ment. We hope that this matter may be
satisfactorily explained.
