faithful worshiper.
AS the suppliant kneels before him
the priest, by means of a little pow
iered charcoal and a rubber stamp,
places a black Greek cross upon this
upturned forehead.
It is a most curious sight to note
the old men and maidens, business
men, stately senoras, tattered beggar
or babe in arms, each bearing the
symbol of the faith,

saint
The first of May is the ceremony OF
blessing the fields. Young sirls
dressed in white, and each carrying o

on the saints to bless the harvest.
On Easter Sunday is the greatest
feast of the year. Efigies OF Judas
stuffed with torpedoes and pennies, are
strung over the principal streets oil

the effigy will be pierced and. with 8
great explosion, the remnants of tn,
unfortunate Judas will be Scattered
far and wide, while all the populac,
scrambles for the pennies.

that the famous; Buncombe county bond
suit has been at last COMPROMISED and,
settled. The case has attracted wide at.
tention, and has been mentioned more
than once in these columns. 1t seems
that In 1925 the county commissioners
8repudiated county bonds issued to take
the place OF bonds bearing the date OF
lss3. which had been issued In aid OF
the construction Of the Asheyille and
Bpartanburg Railroad, The original bonds
We're the result Of a popular subscription

decided that they were not under obliga-
lions 10 recognize tho debt. and tho pay
ment of interest upon the bonds was
refused. The Supreme Court Of the State
afterwards held that the bonds were In
valid, hut the bondholders brought suit
In the United States court on tho overdue
coupons and obtained Judgment The
case was not unlike the contest over the
state debt question In Virginia. The
bonds were net due. and payrnent could
