THE SOUTH.
Thousands of Visitors in North Carolina
Mountains.

Thousands of Visitors in North Carolina
Mountains.
BASKERVILLE Citizen, Asheville, n. o.
The mountains of Western North Carolina
have indeed been a refuge this summer.
From every state south of Maryland and east
Of Ohio the tourists have poured by the
thousands, and to-day the counties west of
the Blue Ridge in North Carolina are thronged
with visitors who have fed from the torrid
rays of the sun in the home land to the
shades of these great mountains.
The cooling waters of the French Broad,
SwannanOa, Davidson and Mills rivers, the
Pigeon, the Tuckaseege, the Tennessee,
Hiwassee, Nantahala, Toe, Cane and other
rivers and creeks have been sought by the
invalid. the pleasure-seeker and the sports
man, and from the Blue Ridge to Smoky
Mountains every mountain glen, and gorge.
and valley, and country side has been filed
with those looking for a cooler spot, deeper
shadow.
And none have been disappointed. There
has not been a night this summer, between
MitchelPg Peak and Chunky Gal, when sleep
was not comfortable under more OF less cover
ing.
1t seems safe to say that between 10, 900 and
20, 900 people are now in our mountains and
still they come. And this throng increases
as the years go by. What formerly was con-
fined to Asheyille has now spread until it
covers everyone Of the l2 counties lying west
of the Ridge, to say nothing of the half dozen
or more on the eastern side of the mountain.

BrazilinuS Soc PrcteVt For over.
throwing south American Republics
Mexico City. Sept 11-Priyate ad-
vices received here from Brazil show
that the government here has been
greatly influenced by the accounts re-
garding the alleged secret understand
ing between the Bolivian and the Uni
ted States government by which the
latter power was to take over the ter
ritory on the Upper Amazon claimed
by Bolivia, a region rich i'm rubber
II is alleged in Rio de Janeiro that
American naval officers have recon.
noitered and roughly surveyed the re-
gion and sent their secret reports to
Washington. 1t was first charged that
Mr.. Bryan, United States minister to
Brazil. was a party to the agreement
with Bolivia, but it is now said that
the Bolivian secret agent, named Uth-
of, made the agreement with the
United States consul at Para. There
is some doubt about this, but such is
the belief of the Brazilian newspapers
and people and the Argentine press has
begun, instigated by European resi-
dents, to set up the cry that the colos-
sus of the north is moving southwark
and intends to control and ultimately
annex all South America, and so dill
gent has been the propaganda of this
story that the newspapers i'm Mexico
of the clerical stripe have taken il up
editorially, predicting the absorption OF
all this hemisphere by the greedy and
land hungry Americans, who are ac-
quiriug lands in Brazil and Peru and
who will soon be able to afford the
Washington government a pretext for
attempting to overthrow the South
American governments.

Ex-Conviot KIlied by omcers.

Columbus o., Sept. IA desper-
ate fight took place yesterday afternoon
between Charles Dumont, an ex-con-
vict, and Detective Kleeman and Pa
trolman CASTOR. Dumont was wanted
for burglary, and the officers were lay
ing for him when he came along on a
bicycle. The officers called upon Du-
mont to stop, but he pedalled along,
at the same time drawing his revolver
and shooting over his shoulders. Gas
ton got bullet in his head and an
other in the arm. Dumont fell from
his wheel, but quickly sought refuge
behind telegraph pole and continued
the fight with Kleeman. Dumont re-
ceived three wounds in the body, dying
last night. Detective Kleeman has a
serious flesh wound in the right leg.

Give the Children a Drink

called Grain-O. It is delicious, appetizing
nourishing food drink to take the place oI
Coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all
who have used it because when properly pre-
pared it tastes like the finest coffee but is free
from all its injurious properties, Grain-O aids
digestion and strengthens the nerves. 1t is
not a stimulant but health builder, and chill
dren, as well as adults, can drink it with great
benefit. Costs about x as much as coffee.

ABOUT THE WHEAT MILL.

The COMMONWEALTH still pleads for
q convenience tor the farmers to have
wheat ground in ), this community
Quite nice little crop OF wheat was
raised In this community this year
and the only hindrance toa good wheat
acreage here next year, is the lack OF
facility for grinding.
The White mill property three miles
from town could easily be put in condi-
tion to grind wheat and the farmers are
hoping to see it done. Several have
spoken to The COMMONWEALTH about
the matter and all say they are anxious
tor the property to be prepared for
grinding wheat. With the assurance
that they could get the wheat ground
many farmers of this community would
plant wheat freely and the crop even
next year would be considerable.
And ii the water mill property near
town is not prepared to grind wheat
why cannot some one make the prera-
ration with steam power here at town ?
Whether water power or steam power,
there is certainly demand for con-
yenience to grind wheat, and whoever
meets the demand with we'll eouipped
mill will strike it we'll for himself and
will do do great good for the com.
munity generally.
Let some one take the matter uD at
once, so the farmers may be assured
that ii they plant wheat again they
will have mill near them.

TIE CONVICTS FOR OUR ROA DS.

Assuggested by THE COMMONWEALTH
last week, the road supervisors of Scot
land Neck township have decided to
ask for the county convlcts to work the
roads around Scotland Neck. The
road supervisors Of this township met,
pursuant 10 the call Of Chairman j. 4.
Perry last Saturday, and took steps
looking to the arrangement.
TIE county commissioners Will be
asked next Monday to puJ the county
couvlcts on the roads arouu5! Scotland
Neck. It the commissioners grant the
request, which We believe they Will do,
we presume it will then be the duty OF
the supervisors to employ suitable force
to prepare place in which to keep the
convicts at night and to work and
guard them during the day.
Ii the matter is properly looked after
Scotland Neck Will do a great service
