the Central and Largest City,
would he the CapitaI-A Great
idea.
Asheville the capital of state
Had you ever thought of that?
Did it ever occur to YOU that Ashevile,
the peerless, the Queen City of the
West" in the Land OF the Sky, might
some day become the seat ofgovernment
for the western portion of North Caro-
lima
Well, that's what's the matter!
Geo. S. Powell, who returned yester-
day from Raleigh, where he went to
meet with merchants from every part of
the state, who ask the repeal of the mer-
chants purchase tax law, has given THE
CITIZEN the substance of some remarks
made by gentleman prominent in the
state, which go to show that other sec
tions of the state Recognize the proud
position attained by this glorious city
and surrounding country. Mr.. Powell
says he can give the name of the gentle
man, ii necessary.
"We were on the train" said Mr..
Powell, ION our return from Raleigh,
and were discussing the vastly different
legislation needed by Western and
Eastern North Carolina.
"The gentleman referred to took an ac-
tive part in the discussion. He gave it
as his opinion that, in view of the fact
that the legislation demanded by the
east and that needed by the west must,
in many instances, be almost dametri-
cally opposite, on account of the differ
ence of condition, industries, etc, the
time must eventually come when a di-
vision of the state will be inevitable.
THE two sections, he said, were
so vastly different that it is impossi-
BILE to procure legislation that will suit
both portions of the state"
lust here Mr.. Powell leaned back in
his chair and happy, contented look
came over his face. He continued
"Then the gentleman got down to
business. He said that the state should
be cut in two somewhere near the line OF
the Richmond and Danvile railroad,
where it crosses the state from Virginia
to South Carolina, and from the counties
lying west of that line should be formed
a new state, section with interests al
most identical, and made up of forty or
fifty Of the best counties of the state Of
North Carolina.
Then the capital should he located at
Asheville. She will be the largest city in
the state soon, and when the new state
is formed will undoubtedly be the largest
city, and her location would at once des-
ignate her the capital city.
"The time would soon come, he thought,
when the interest of the two sections
would demand the change, and the
sooner the better"
Now, what do readers of THE CITIZEN
think of the scheme?
Wouldn't it be nice tn have a legislature
sit in our great city sixty days every two
years?

A REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT.
SYMPTOMS of 1T BREAK OUT
IN SPAIN.
The People Charged OH and Fired
Into by Soldiers Headed by an
Easily Nattled Omcer.

Easily ~ attled Omcer.
BARCELONA, Feb. 5.-The revolutionary
spirit smouldering throughout Spain
nearly burst into fame in this city to-
day.
There was a peaceful demonstration,
in which parade and speeches were the
main features, going on in favor of the
republican leader, Don Salmeron Horril-
las, in propagation of republican ideas.
The crowds which were attracted by the
procession became somewhat excited.
This attitude of the people seems to
have alarmed the officer in charge of the
troop OF mounted gendarmes and he lost
his head and ordered the gendarmes to
charge the crowd.
They did so at gallop, firing pistols
and carbines right and left. The result
was that several persons were more or
less dangerously wounded. This action
of the gendarmes deeply enraged the peo-
pie, but the crowd seems to have dis
persed without any open act of retalia
ton.
1t is understood that the government
will be asked to order an inquiry into
the conduct of the officer in charge of the
gendarmes.
Salmeron's friends claim that bullet
marks around the window from which
he was speaking show that the gen.
darmcs tired to shoot him.
BARCELONA, Feb. 6.-The conservative
candidate for member of the chamber
of deputies has been elected, defeat
ing Senior Salineron, the republican
leader This victory has caused the pc
culiar discomfort which has been smoul-
dering for long time to break out in all
directions. I he cafes and clubs are
crowded with people who excitedly dis
cuss the situation.
Yesterday evening two large petards
were exploded in public thoroughfare,
causing a panic among the people.
Government officials are thoroughly
alarmed and are making preparations to
resist popular uprising.

Signs of More Money and Better Times
Coming.

A LEAF-CHRoNICLE reporter had
short interview with II. w. Ritter,
managing partner of G. B. Wilson
& Co.'s planning mills. He says there
has been a decided improvement in
business within the past ten days,
He says no department of trade is a
better indicator Of the financial
state of the country and condition OF
business than his. When money is
plentiful and easy there is rush in
his line; everybody wants to i'm
prove, build a house or do some
thing; that people will spend their
money more freely to satisfy
their pride and taste in buildings, or
namental work, etc., than anything
else, and yet when money is scarce
it is hard for builders to got job on
any sort of terms. Though men may
have their minds made up, and want
the work never SO bad, they will put
it off for a year when money is tight
and hard to get, rather than go in
debt and take risks. June, he says,
was the highest month he ever ex'
perienced. 1t looked as If the bot
tom would drop out, and it was hard
to get orders enough to keep the mil
going. But since the first of July
there has been a great rush, which is
increasing every day. Orders are
pouring in from all parts of the coun'
try, as we'll as the city, indicating
great improvement in the financial
condition of the country and a better
feeling on the part of the people. In
other words, crops are good, conf.
dence is being restored and money
has been turned loose, making bust
ness easy, and when money goes into
buildings it goes to labor, goes to pay
for timber taken from the forest
and brick made from dirt. This the
iaborer hands over 10 tine merchant,
the professional men and all classes,
who keep 1t going.
