by a West AsheyiIie Man.
II. Batterham, a native of England,
but now a resident of West Asheville,
Yesterday brought to THE CITIZEN
Office curious and very interesting col
lection of old coins.
The most valuable of these is a
gold guinea now worn as watch
charm by Mr.. Batterham. 1t was
coined in 1893. Among the collec-
tion are these: A coin of the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth, 1875; Charles ii.
crown, 1872; William IL crown and half
crown, 1896; Queen Anne shilling and
sixpence, 17ll; George |. halfpenny,

Thomas Robinson.
The oldest of the collection is Roman
coin. found by Mr. Batterham in an old
Roman wall near his home in England
years ago. 1t is believed to be at least
1000 years old.
Mr.. Batterham also treasures ten
cent piece, which represents his tota
wealth wh> II he arrived in Asheville in q
rain storm eleven years ago. 1t speaks
well for his thrift and shrewdness that
he has never had to part with that last
dime.

ExC1.U.1ON OF THE CHINESE
No Fear of Retaliation by China.
Because We Could Retaiiate.

NO Fear of Retaliation by China,
Because We Could Retaiiate.
WASHINGTON April 5-Represcntative
Geary of California, in an interview on
the subject of the Chinese Exclusion bill,
passed by the house condemns the sys-
TEN of taking bail in Chinese circles. He
says:
There are now 5000 Chinese habeas
corpus cases on the docket in San Fran
cisco. A ship comes in with 500 or 600
Chinese, and they are taken before the
court to be examined. All the cases
cannot be tried in one day and hundreds
are admitted to bail. A Chinaman
comes in, swears he is the owner of real
estate, his bond is taken, and the newly
arrived celestial departs. When the case
comes for trial the immigrant has disap-
peared, and it is found that the China
| man who went his bond has transferred
all Lf his property. The district attorney
at San Francisco has $250,000 worth
of bonds on which he cannot collect a
cent. This is the reason why bail should
be refused"
at is said that your measure abro-
gates treaty rights"
$50 did the Scott law. according to a
decision of the United States supreme
court. These rights were abrogated ioul
years ago"
but if China sewers trade relations
with the United States, will not the
manufacturers here suffer?"
THAT is matter of figures. In 1896
the imports from China were $40 O,O00,'
900 and our exports were $2,0o0,O00
Last year we bought $19.000,00C
worth from China. and exported $S,
100000. For the last ten years the bal
lance of trade has averaged about $l3,
100000 in favor of China, and $l4,
0O00 600 of our imports have been teas
drugs, &C., which did not pay duty
When China annually sells US 100000,
600 worth of goods she is not likely tc
abrogate commercial relations unless
the moon is made of green cheese, whicl
do not believe is the case"
Cannot China expel Americans from
her territory"
Certainly. But what would tha
amount to? There are in China toda
exactly 1922 Americans"
