THE COST NOT OVER 100000.
Colonel Warning states that II Is not possible
from ..e data now available to estimate the
cost % all the work indicated above more nearly
1t has been estimated. he says that single cpl
denies introduced into the United States from
Havana have cost ! : the Mississippi Valley
alone. 500 600 900 In loss to Industries and to
commerce aside from the loss Of life, amounting
in 1873 and 1879 to 1891, In addition to the
enormous cost Of the sickness Of those who re-
covered. He further states that in his judg-
ment the complete execution Of the work above
indicated would completely eradicate yellow
fever from Havana for all time. would relieve
II from the malaria which Is now so fatal, and
would reduce its normal death rate from its
present high figure mot far from f1fty per thou
sand to about twenty per thousand. He says
II these improvements are TO be made there
must be delay and no halfway measures
All that is indicated must be done in the best and
most complete manner. and II must all be done
before June /. 1899 II II Is not all done. there
is every reason TO fear that yellow fever will be
rife in Havana next season. because OF the large
number OF unprotected persons who would go
there trusting to the efficiency OF the partial
carrying out OF the work. The mortality Of the
city of Havana for the week ending October
g. $685. was 536 annual rate Of 1895 per

One of the most picturesque and de-
lightful sections of North Carolina, is
what is known as the Sapphire Country,
This section is located near Brevard,
N. g., at an average altitude of 5000
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand waterfalls.
Of the many attractive features, per-
haps one of the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphire Lakes. No where else in
the south at this altitude are there
such bodies of water. There are tow
ering cliffs, rising abruptly for a thou
sand foot from their shores and cas-
dades of rare beauty falling directly
into the lakes from the lofty table land
surrounding. s8ita 9e
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and particu,
larly adapted to those troubled with
hay fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record oi
the temperature kept at Sapphire fol
four years, shows an average of 90 de,
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and the
Lodge, afford excellent accommoda
tions for guests. aAt. @

the Sapphire country, call on any agen

Asheville, N. C.

Few regions have been, are richly
endowed by nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the "Land OF the
Sky 1t has a climate so dry and
health-giying that it has become known
the world over as a natural sanitarium
for the cure of all troubles of pulmon-
ary nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain-homed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denver, and is q
busy, thriving place Of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, with all the moderisms of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful Frence Broad and
Swannanoa rivers JOIN their crystal
waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth haye built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most nota-
BILE among them being the chateau of
Mr., George W. Vanderbilt, which with
its great estate, has cost upwards Of
four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year sesort,
for the great mountains protect it in
the winter from the cold winds, and
its sumer climate is made delightful
because of its altitude.

The agent for the Baltimore & Ohio, at
Columbus, received request on the
regulation blank for seven tickets to
San Francisco and one return ticket
between Columbus and Chicago. In
speetor Betz does not know where the
blanks were procured, but he alleges
they were some of the supply in Capt.
Jobe's possession, which the New York
officials failed to find when he was ar
rested there.
The inspector thinks that Capt Jobe
knew he was being pursued, and had
the death notice printed for the pur-
pose of ending the investigation The
obituary reads as follows;
Captain Ike T. Jobe, late of the
Sixth United States Volunteer Infant
ry, died Sept. 30, 1899, at $3.50 p. m. in
Washington, D. c., of blood poisoning.
He had three operations performed on
his leg and blood poison set in and
with all the combined efforts of Major
Hogan, surgeon, he died, as above
stated. Capt, Jobe was nearly forty
years old, and was good, kind hearted
man, as all the Covington boys will at
test. He organized the first company
for the Spanish American war, and it
can be said ofshim that he at all times
treated the boys well. He was a thirty
slird degree Mason, a knight Templar,
Shriner, Knight of Pythias, an Odd
Fellow, a Knight Of Honor, a member
of the United States Army and Navy
Union. He was three times Mayor of
his home city, was Railroad commits

Plenty of Candidates.

1t is generally understood that if
Governor McMillin becomes candi.
date for senator he will not offer for re-
election as governor. This throws
down the bars for the gubernatorial
handicap and the prospects are good
for heavy string of entries. Some
dozen or so of names have been men
toned in this connection, among them
the following:
Treasurer E, B. Craig, Nashville; j.
B. Frazier and A. w. Chambliss, of
Chattanooga; Judge John r. Bond, Of
Brownsville; Judge W. H. Swiggart,
of Union City; James M. Head, of
Nashville; Judge John M, Taylor, of
Lexington, and many others,
Understand that these gentlemen
have merely been mentioned, and it is
not known positively that either of
them is considering the matter serious
ly. In the case of E. B. Craig there
may be some foundation for the talk, as
it is generally understood that Mr..
Craig has an ambition to be governor.
It is furthermore understood around
the capital that he will not offer again
for state treasurer.
Reau E. Folk. chief clerk of the
house Of representatives, is announced
for treasurer with the understanding
that Mr. Craig will not be candidate. -
