YE OLDEN TIMES
What the Old Stagers Told Us of the
Queen of the PrairieS and its Infancy

Just for tonight. "
Time in its fight cuts many
queer capers and the spring ing
up of the City of Monroe or
Monroe City, now the Queen of
the Prairies, on virgin soil that
a few years ago was covered
with heavy wild grass, bounti.
fully stocked with deer,aud lit
orally covered with prairie
chicken and quail.
The foregoing is caused by us
meeting one of the old citizens
OF this city when she was in
reminiscent mood and willing
to talk of Dad and when 1 was
a boy. osRe is j. B. Anderson,
and hisNmemory ran thus:
Dad came to this place in
1850 and at that time there was
only three houses here and no
roads except state roads aud
very little travel over them
These houses were on what is
now Winter street and near
where the H. & st. Joe depot
now stands.
j. M. Preston started gen.
eral store in what is known as
the old post office. Then tn .
hamlet began to put on airs and
assume village tone, other
people came in and business
began to extend east on the
road, Winter 81. until it struck
the state road, Main st. Hez
eklah Anderson ran the first
hotel.
Then the big revolution came.

R. r. This was the terminal in
1857. There was no turn table
so Y switch was laid on the
fiat ground and run out to
where the Methodist church
now is and doubled back to near
where the present depot. is
The depot or station was an
old box car off it's trucks aud
fiat on the ground. There was
very little shipping then ard
when car of stock went ou,
the natives turned out to see
the sight.
In 1867 the village had out
grown Winter st. as a business
center and began to ramble
down Main st.
1t was in that year thattb old
frame mill was built by Mr.. S.
e. Cummings, the DR.. Asbury
block built little later. Pet
Pendleton, Rouse and John
son and one or two others car
rled mixed, decidedly mixed
stocks.
Edward B. Talcott plated
the village in 1857. April 9th.

Harrison Gary, S. E. Cummings
and T. W. Hubbard appeared
before the county Court and had
the City of Monroe made a
Fourth Glass town and at the
same time the above named
gentlemen were made trustees
of the town.
In 1868. that was when the
great and only B. o. Wood came
to the village to grow up with
it and become an active men,
ber of what was to become the
Queen of the Prairies, then
there was only three houses

ELLENSBURG. Wash, oct A.
During the past two years Prof. j. ;.
Cotton of the department of agrostolo-
gy. under the direction of the depart
ment of agriculture, mas been conduct
ing a series of experiments on the sum-
nit of the mountain northeast of this
place with view to renewing the
ranges which have been almost entire
ly eaten away. The results have been
mast gratifying.
The firm of Babcock & Benson ten
dered him the use of a section of fenced
land and a cabin. and he now has about
100 acres seeded and in a flourishing
twenty varieties, but they have been
sifted down to four. These are tall
meadow fescue, timothy. bromus mir
mis- and mountain bronze grass. These
have been shown to be the best suited
to the end in view. and of the lot the
timothy was the first to produce salts
factory results. showing vigorous
growth and. wonderful adaptability, and
the group has made sucn showing
that Professor Cotton thinks the DEM
onstration has passed the experiment
tai stage.
The grasses We're sown broadcast
and simply narrowed in, no blowing
having been done. OF course. there
has been no irrigation done, the idea
being to have the grasses treated eX-
actly as the native ones were. simply
! relying on the snow and rains. Under
this test his timothy will today yield
! from three quarters to one ton TO the
/ acre. Later Professor Cotton will plant
! several species of vetches lower down
on the slopes and give them a thorough
/ test.

the negro who killed another negro named

Especial to News and observer)

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, N. c., March 24-Sheriff
Reed, in company with two Of his dcDu.
ties, will leave for Bryson City, Swain
county, to bring twelve prisoners from
that county to Buncombe to do service
on the public roads of this county. Swain
county like Madison, has no chain gang
law, and the authorities of these two
counties are very glad to turn their pris-
oners over to Buncombe to serve their
sentences. At the last term of Madison
court eight men were sentenced to the
roads for terms ranging from two to
twelve months, and these men were sent
to Buncombe. By utilizing the convict
force of this county supplemented by
road prisoners from other counties
which have no chain gang law, Buncombe
is rapidly adding to its already many
miles of macadamized roads, and if ma
cadam is continued to be hid at the pres
ent rate it will not be very many years
before all the principal roads of this
county are thoroughly maeadamized
Philip S. Henry, who recently purchased
the Hazard place on Beaucatcher Noun
tain and the O. d. ReVell place, known
as "Zeaandia,' has applied to Judge
Long for an injunction against the city OF
Asheville and Warren Brothers Bitulithic
Pavinl1 Company, restraining the paving
company from doing any more blasting
at the city's quarry on the side of the
mountain east of the city ard close to Mr.
Henry's property. Judge Long granted
the temporary injunction and cites the de-
PENDANTS to appear before him at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, March 26, and
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent. The injunction
was asked by reason of the fact that a
blast at the quarry Tuesday evening
threw stones, some of considerable size,
onto Mr. Henry's property, and it is al
legged that one stone fell in the drive way
and within only a few feet of the house.
Since coming to Asheville Mr.. Henry
has been located at Eenilworth Inn, and
Tuesday with his family, left the Inn
and moved to his new home at ''Zealan-
dia," and it was therefore Mr.. Henrv's
first day on the mountain that the stones
were showered upon his premises.

OPEN UP, DEMAND CREDITORS.
They Want to Know Su!Iy's Backers
and all the Facts in The Case.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 24-Tnat d. ]. Sully
G. Company would be able to do a good
deal better than to offer forty per cent
cash and sixty per cent in notes to the
creditors was the belief expressed by Re-
ceiver Taft today, and new offer from
the suspended firm is expected.
Samuel Untermyer, Who is cou ell for
a number of Sully's creditors, SD TO-
cay:
eve demand and intend TO get the his
tory OF Sully's cotton transactions. We
want the fullest exposure OF the facts.
Nothing else will satisfy
Many of Sully's creditors are hoping
that he will reveal the identity of his
hackers in the last pool. Al OF his as
sociates are. said to be men who ccud
settle with the creditors.
Receivers Taft and Miller do not ex-
pect to learn of these hackers from Sully,
but Mr.. Taft says that the books may re-
veal enough to show that certain silent
partners were under obligations to stand
the loss. If it can be found tnat such OBJ
legations exist steps will be taken to
make them pay 100 cents on the dollar.
Sully still stands ready to pay his credl-
tors forty cents on the dollar In cash and
sixt cents in long time notes, but most
of the creditors expect better results than
that through the receivers.
A conference lasting half an hour was
held today in Sullys office between Re
ceivers Taft and Miller, and r. Seiden-
berg, George Chapman, superintendent
Stroud of the Coffee Exchange, expert
accountant Cuthbert who has been at
work on the books OF the Sully firm, AND
Bocthby and Baldwin, counsel Tor the
petitioning creditors. None g the parties

ment.
A meeting Of the creditors Of Daniel J.
Sullv e Company. was held this alter
noon. It was called at the request OF the
receivers for the purpose OF having

eral body of creditors in dealing with the
receivers.
