a Visit to Brevard NJ. c

A representative of the PEo-
PIES JOURNAL, accompanied by
Mr.. r. l.. Henderson,, the Photo
grapher at Pickens, took three days
last week for trip to Brevard and
surrounding country. We left
here Friday morning and got to
Mr.. B. w. Henderson s, Mr.. r.. l..
Hcnderson's father, in the after
noon. Mr.. Henderson lives five
miles this side of Brevard and has
a beautiful residence on French
Broad river. He has some fine
lands on the river that yields
abundantly every year. We met
his lady, Mrs. Henderson and
daughter, Miss Maggie, and found
them very pleasant and entcrtain-
ing. We are under many obliga-
tions to Miss Maggie Henderson
and brother, Mr.. Whit. Henderson,
for some fine music on the organ
violin and banjo. They certainly
understand music well.
Saturday we took in that enter
prising town, Brevard, and We vis-
tied several places Of business
there. We stopped in tho Sylvan
Valley News Office and found Mr..
j. j. Minor, the editor and pro-
prietor, at his desk. The Nows is
bright paper and we'll edited and
we'll gotten up. Mr.. Minor cor
tainly deserves credit for what he
is doing for Brevard and surround
ing country and should havo the
patronage of the people Of North
Carolina.
The Transylvania Sentinel is u
new paper that is published in
Brevard on the republican plat
form. 1t is we'll managed, by Mr..
Brown, the editor.
Brovard has a bank that is
doing good business.
We visited tho Academy and
found it nice building. The
school is taught by ge\ eral expert
enced teachers and is in a flourish
ing condition.
The merchants are all having q
good trade and there are still more
new buildings rapidly nearing
completion.
We went to the court house and
wont through tho several depart
monts and found it we'll arranged
and good durable building.
We also went to the County iail
and 1T is good substantial rock
building.
Brevard has railroad, and the
train makes one trip day to Hen
Jacksonville.
There are several nico brick
buildings in Brcvard, which adds
much to the appearance of tho
town.
Everybody that we met was cour-
toous to us, evor ready and will
ing to show a stranger around and
make things pleasant for him.
Tho farmers have fine lands to
cultivate on French Broad and they
are preparing them for aDothcr
crop.
Saturday afternoon wo attended
q sociablo given by Misses Eva
ana Emma Iuott, noar carson S
Creek post Office. Thoro were
about twenty-five or thirty young
iadios and gentlemen present and
all had a nlco time. We wero fur.
nlshed with some excellent music,
with Miss Emma Puctt at The
piano, Miss Florence Null and
father, Mr.. J. G. Null, the violins
and Mr. Whit. Henderson, the
banjo. Space won't allow us to
give tho names of all present, and
wo only give brief statement of
the sociable and our visit.
Our timo was limited and we
could only got q glimpse of tho
fine country, but hope in tho "near
future" to visit Transylvania coun-
ty again.

NORTHWEST SECTION.

A fine rain on the 7th benefited all
crops in this section. During the early
part of the week cool nights retarded
growth.
Cut-worms doing some damage to stands of
corn and cotton. Corn and cotton nearly all
planted. Corn has been plowed over second
time In most loeolities; the tendency is toward
a yellowish color. probably induced by the cool
weather. Some rust in wheat and oats; the
prospects for these crops only fair. Fruit trees
are loaded and prospects good.

Not as Good as California Gold.

Assistant Weigher W. A.
Underhill, OF he Selby Smelt-
ing Company, states that the
gold from the Yukon is not
of 80 much value "a that pro
duced in California. In speak
ing of this matter he said:
"We have found the miners
from the Yukon a very nice
class of people to deal with,
and they have not been de-
ceived in the value OF gold
they have brought back with
them. 1t is y fact that the
Yukon gold is not AS valu-
able as that produced IN this
State. We have found that
there are from fifty to 100
points more base metal in
the Northern product. These
base metals are iron, lead
and few Others. Thege is d
large quantity of silver also:
We look principally for ths
gold and silver. 1t is the
iron that gives che Yukon
gold its fine rich color. Oi
course, these other metals de
crease the metals a little. The
nuggets from the Yukon are
worth $17 and $1Sperounce
and the finer gold dust is
worth from $l6 to $1z pei
ounce. With the Calitorna
gold the value is about 81 6
ounce more; that is, nuggets
run from $1S to $19 anc
gold dust never less than $l1
per ounce.
"Our assayers have fount
several other metals thar
those | have mentioned, bu
no attention is paid to them
as the other base metals d(
not cut much of a figure il

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

reCClOll vi SCllOOl C'liIu''' e0S
men in performing the duties
of their Office, Supt. Mebane
has prepared and sent out a
circular of general informa.
ton in regard to the school
law.
He reminds committeeman
that their services and labor
must be for love, and patriot
ism, there being no compen-
sation provided for them;
and that upon them largely
depends the success or fail
ure of the public schools for
the next two yeals.
The law requires the Ccun-
ty Board OF Education on
the first Monday in July to
divide the county into as
many school districts as there
are townships in Zach coun-
ty. 1t does not require the
township lines and the school
district lines to he the same.
but it does require that there
shall be the same number OF
districts as there are town
ships.
A school may be taught at
or near a township line by the
consent OF the committees OF
the adjacent townships, sub
iect to the approval OF the
County Board of Education.
When children are transferr-
ed from one township to an
other, the pro rata share OF
the school money OF the dis
+ trict from which they ale
!, transferred should be trans
ferred also to the districtsin
to. which they are received.
a While the old committee
had no power to enter into &
q contract with Il teacher te
{ extend beyond their term o
! office, yet several OF the ole
committees have done So
+ and in such case, the new
|, committee should carry ou'
!. all such contracts, provided
they are reasonable and to1

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Neither Boss Hanna nor
Mr.. Mckinley are entirely
satisfied with the work of the
extra session Of Congress
just closed. The tariff bill
pleased them all right; i t
more than repaid their cam
paign Obligations to t hi e
trusts, not to mention the
$4,000, 900, made b y the
sugar trust and it's friends
while the bill was pending.
But their efforts to- repay
their campaign obligations
to the banking interests
were a failure. Mr.. McKin-
ley, in his special message
to Congress only a few hours
before adjournment. asking
for authority to appoint a
currency commission, quoted
the Indianapolis Bankers
convention as though it had
been the assembled finan ,ial
wisdom OF the world, but
that didn't bring the legisla-
ton asked for. The House
railrcaded through in 60
minutes a bill granting Mr..
Mckinley the authority ask
ed for, although nearly ey-
cry Republican in that body
is really opposed to a cur
rency commission, but the
Senate was not so accommo-
dating, and there is nothing
in sight to Indicate that it
will be more obliging next
winter.

made just before the vote
was taken on the conference
report on the tariff bill, fol
