RURAL FREE DELIVERY ROUTES.
All tho Counties in Moody's District Are An
xious For Them

Especial to the News and Cbserver)
Asheville, N. c., August 16.-Congress-
man Moody has. been here several days
with Special Agent j. l.. Pemberton es-
tablishing free delivery routes leading out
from Asheville. Six routes have already
been located. and all these routes en-
brace a Circuit of from twenty-three to
twenty-eight miles, and Mr.. Moody says
they will be put in operation within the
next ten days. There will be from
twelve to fifteen of these routes estab-
lished in this county, all of which will be
in operation by the LIST of October. The
main difficulty in establishing this system
throughout the mountain section is the
lack of good roads. The principal thor
oughfares are kept all right, but in the
rural districts some of the roads are al
most impossible
Mr.. Moody has received petitions from
citizens of Haywood, Pennsylvania, Hen
derson Cherokee, Swain, Jackson and a
number of other western counties for the
establishment of the system, and it is his
purpose, he says, to get as many OF these
routes in this section as may be had.
Major Moody and Mr.. Pemberton left
yesterday for Haywood to locate routes
in that county.
Biologists have made new surveys in
the western counties and their maps
have been enlarged in order to facilitate
the work.

Especial to News ana Observer
Wilson, N. c.. Aug. 1.-THE big topac-
co break here today will rival any preVl-
Gus break for August. 1t is estimated
that there are from 400 to $50 thousand
pounds sold at the four warehouses Tor
an average of from S1a to 8 cents, though
the grades are not the BEST some mas
brought from 80 to 40 cents. For the
grades the prices are considered very
high and sellers are well satisfied. the
tobacco men here say they will easily sell
from 3 to million pounds of tobacco this
month.
There are by far more people here to-
day than are usually present on circus
day. Wagons and carts were coming IN
town at all hours of the night, some COM
ing as far as from % to 80 miles.
Work is going forward on the new addi-
tion to the court house. Rev. T. +.
Gould has sold his old office in the rear
of the court house, and it has been moved
away and he is going to build con-
venient and complete brick office on the
site.
There is a good deal of building going
on here now, and though the fall busl-
ness has not really begun, the unusual ac-
tivity for this time of the year in all
industrial circles of the town is partl-
cularly noticeable.

telegraph office in Raleigh, however,
seeing no necessity for anything like
haste in the delivery of such a message,
laid it aside till yesterday morning, when
it was carried to Secretary Pearsall at
the executive office.
The fact is, Judge Hoke filed the mes
sage at / O'Clock in the night. He was
informed by the Charlotte office it would
be impossible to get the message through
before morning, as the Raleigh office
closed at IL O'clock to which he replied

Just fifteen minutes after it left Char

office, as you state
You further allege: "But Judge Hoke,
when he had failed to receive the an
swer for which he waited, and finding the
situation growing critical, ordered out the
military to assist the sheriff in protect

Judge Hoke did not wait minute for
the answer, as he knew the message
would not leave Charlotte until the fol-

had already ordered out the military be-

EARLY DAY DRoUTH HISTORY

Wichita was the object of much jeal-
ousy in the early days II came about
in this way: Along about 1870 a drouth
set in and much alarm was felt While
this drouth existed Wichita was visited BY
Two or three local showers. which were
confined almost 10 the townsite. The
farmers who were burning UP could ac-
count for 1t IN no other way except by a
theory that the confluence Of the two
rivers had something 10 co with il. for
the fiction still existed that there never
was any drouth st the junction OF two
rivers. When the people IN the drouth-
stricken sections would hear OF rain in
Wichita it would give him the jim jams
They would rear and tear. and swear and
call Wichita a darned hog. as If Wichita
had anything to do with IT, Wichita had
many rivals for metropolitan ascendenCy
in those DAYS. and when travelling men
knocked about during the drouth and had
nothing else 70 do but have fun they
would. when arriving in the rival towns.
start the swearing by SAYING: even,
Wichita had another big rain this morn
ing" This would set the citizens OF the
rival towns zild. They would say; Yes.
Of course. the darned hog had rain; she

MIGHT HAVE BEEN HUNG.


Some Of the old settlers were collected
in a North Main street cigar store the
other day talking about the ups and
downs OF Wichita in the early days Of
her existence. The matter Of vigilance
committees came Up when Dan Parks
told how near he came TO being the victim
Of a mob. He came here to Wichita in the
fall of 1870. and one day he met a couple
Of men whom he had formerly seen at
Salina- They told him that they had
camp over on the Walnut river down
about where Dun's mill was afterward
located. They wanted him TO go over 10
the camp with them. He said he was
stranger here and concluded TO go over
and rest for q day or two at their camp.
He started out in the village of Wichita
to borrow orrhire q saddle to put on his
horse. but failed TO get one. One OF the
feed stable propuetors that was here at
that time told him they could let him
have a saddle the next day. The Douglas
boys went home and Dan Parks told them
that he would get the saddle the next
day and come over. That night a vigil
ance committee took the three men out
of the camp and hung them to a tree
down on the Walnut river. They were
accused of being horsethieves. Mr. Parks
has always believed that If he had sue
ceeded in getting a saddle that day he
would have been hung TO that tree along
with the others, as there would have been
no one there that knew him. and he
thinks the vigilance committee would
have concluded that he was new re-
