ASHEVILLE NEWS.
An Increase of 46O Per Cent. i'm Popu-

AsHEvILLE, N. c., Oct. 10, $780,
noticed in your letter from Winston
Salem few days since, a statement to
the effect that the population of Winston
Salem had increased more than that of
any town in the State Asheville is ever
ready to give Winston Salem credit for
her push and energy, bat your CORES
pondent errs in such statement. Ashe-
vile justly claims the greatest increase,
and the statistics of the two towns will
show it. In 1880 the population of
Asheville was 1850 F. ON the census
just taken by the ely authori-
ties, the population is eleven
thousand nine hundred and twenty-five
III $3.50, giving an increase of 46O per
cent. Winston's increase was 200 per
cent. AsheviIle also has two suburbs
West Asheville and Victoria-if these
were included the population would run
up to $4,000. From these facts it is
easily seen that Asheville's increase is
the greater.
If the people of the State would work
as hard as the Democrats of Buncombe
and the remainder of the Ninth Dis

white supremacy and the abolition of
Radicalism. The oldest men here say

GOING HOME VOTE.
Great Exodus of Clerks From the
Various Departments to the Polls.
lBy United Press.l

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct 2O.-There
has been great political activity among
the department clerks here for the past
twelve months, and the probability is
that four or five thousand of them will
go home to vote at the coming Novem-
Der elections. A score or more Republi-
can State Associations have been organ
lied and their members will probably go
home en- masse to vote. Never was great
er activity and energy put forth in get
ting every qualified Republican voter
home for November elections, and the
exodus promises to be something unu-
sual. Thousands of votes will be polled
in distant States that have not been
cast before in years. So great does
this exodus promise to be, that the rail
roads have reduced the rates for one
round trip to a half-fare rate to all
points east of New York and west of
Chicago, these rates being allowed only
to voters holding certificates o! member
ship IN some State association. Mary
land being close to the national capital,
will probably attract the greatest num-
Der of visitors of her native sons and
voters on election day. Five hundred
members of the Maryland State Asso-
citation promise to 60 home and vote,
and probably as many more Maryland
Republicans, not members, will also 60
home. TIL New York State Association
promises to send 600, Pennsylvania 500,
Ohio 800 Virginia 500 and other States
proportionately as many.

JEFF. DAVIS and GEN. JONES.

AS Jefferson Davis lay dying at the
home Of lifelong friend, in New Or
leans, another friend Of his boyhood
and early manhood was fastening to
the scene, says the Washington Capt.
tai. The latter was Gen. George w.
Jones, the first United States Senator
from Iowa. Gen. Jones is past S5-
years old and is still vigorous in mind
and body. He and the late Confeder-
ate chieftain were students at Transyl-
vania University, in Kentucky, upward
OF sixty years ago, and there formed a
friendship which has endured the
vicissitudes of time. They served to.
gether in the Black Hawk War and
We're both in Congress at the
same time. 1t was during
this latter period that an Incl
dent occurred which celnented the
friendship long ago formed. 1t seems
that Gen. Jones' who had been very
wealthy man, was in financial straits.
He had a certain payment to make and
had no money wherewith to make it.
Davis, learning Of this, and without be-
ing asked by anybody to do anything in
the matter. drew draft on a merchant
in New Orleans for 81 900 and gave it
to Jones. The latter was as surprised
MS delighted, and at once drew up a
note for the amount and gave it TO the
former. Davis took ii and promptly
tore it into little bits, telling Jones he
might pay when he got able, but not
till then. The New Orleans merchant
on whom Mr.. Davis drew his draft was
j. U. Paine. at whose residence Mr.,
Davis SO recently died.

A NOVEL method Of determining the
temperature of the air at great heights
has been proposed by a German
physicist, and is to be adopted by the
Berlin Society for Ballooning. Small
balloons are sent up at night, each
provided with thermometer arranged
to give flashes of light by the closing
of an electric circuit when certain
temperatures are reached. A so-called
photo theodolite" is affected by the
light, and gives Photographic record
OF the temperatures, while the CORE
responding attitudes are indicated in
mechanical way. A more accurate
idea Of the rate of decrease of tenn
perature with height is expected from
this method.
