BIG WILD CAT KILLED.
Chase In Craggy Mountains Pro-
ductive of Results. Panther
Story.

Asheville. Jan. 26.-M. NJ. Jones, the
celebrated bear hunter of the Black
Mountain section, was in the city yes
terday and In conversation with a
newspaper man told of the capture in
the Craggy mountains last week of the
largest wild cat ever trapped in West
ern North Carolina. Tha cat measured
four feet and ten inchs from tip to tip
and weighed fraction over IS pounds.
Mr.. Jones said that the chase after the
cat and the fight the animal had put up
after 1t had turned, was one of the most
exciting he had ever seen. The race
lasted for more than two hours and dur
ing that time the dogs and the hunters
followed the cat over the most rugged
of the Craggy mountains. Six of Mr..
Jones' dogs participated In the chase
and in the fight that followed two were
seriously hurt by the hunted animal.
Another interesting wild cat or pam
ther story comes from Alexander's this
county. According to correspondent
there, the people Of the Weaverville
section are excited over the report cir
culated by several prominent people of
that village to the effect that they and
others have recently seen panther in
the woods near the Weaverville Gene
terry. 1t is stated that while Mr.. and
Mrs. Lotspelch, of Weaverville, we're
on their way home from church last
Sunday night they were attacked by
the animal; that Mr.. Lotspeich fired at
the beast and that it went bounding In
to the woods. In speaking of the pres
ence of the animal the correspondent
says. Mr.. Lotspeich says that it is eth
er q panther or catamount. ALI that
have seen it say that the beast leaps
along at q rapid rate. The people are
afraid to 60 out and hunting party
has been organized and will endeavor
to capture the animal. Mr.. Lotspeich
is q prominent man of this section and
much credence is given to what he
has to say OF the thing"

SOMETHING MUST BE DOING.
The Industrial Battles OF the
World Test the Steel in
The Men.

A. Boston business man. conspicuous
among the successful men in the COM
msrcial world, said:
''The grain must not remain in the
elevator nor the coal in the pitt"
The expression translated means that
something must be doing in the world all
the time. The purpose of the world is to
keep moving. The more We can do in the
general tumult of pushing it along the
greater.our success in life, the nearer we
have come to achieving our divine destiny.
1t does not follow that we must make a
deal of noise and bluster about it, Our
names may never appear in print nor
public Office may never blindly seek US
from the midst Of waiting throng, yet we
can ably do our portion in the worlds
work.
The point to remember is that the world
is destined to move and that each of US as
individuals must find his certain work TO
do, so that in the endit can be counted in
As q necessary and valuable portion of the
whole. The best lives are the most active.
The world is not great resting place. The
best men, the most successful and those
that accomplish anything, eVerlastingly
keep at 1t. They never let go except to
recnperate for a new start and more
Vigor. a good way to consider it is
that there will be plenty of time to rest and
idle when we are no longer able 10 work
and to do for the great pleasure there ls in
achievement.
Wsrs aud conquests claim few; it is in
industrial battles where most of US are re
quired to test our steel. And be who best
equips himself for the fray and continues
increasingly 10 most often claimed for the
greatest victories. 1.-The grain must not

1t is practically certain that some gen.
eral temperance legislation will be enact
ed. Many demands are comming up from
various sections asking for local prohibitory
laws and the purpose of the Legislature, at
present, seems to incline toward gener-
al law rather than crowd the statue books
with 30 many local measures. The pre-
vailing opinion appears to be that bill,
will be passed excluding towns having less
than 500 inhabits from the provisions of the
Watts Law. thereby conf1ning the manu-
facture and sale of whiskey to incorpora-
tions strong enough to provide for ample
police protection In regulating the liquor
traffic. Several bills Of such import have
been introduced already and the fight is
nkeiy to become ahImated az the ~lIsCHs-
sion progresses. The Senate is q strong
anti-liquor body; the House debates long
and loud upon all prohibition propositions.
Anyway. the democrats are pledged t
stand by the state platform of their party,
which is plain upon the question.

THE way TO Do. IT.
How To Proceed m Repeal Of
Fifteenth Amendment.
FOURTEENTH IS FIRST.
Then Way VIII Be Open For
ObIiterating the Fifteenth.


A resolution introduced in the South
Carolina legislature to memorialize congress
for the repeal of the Fourteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution of the United
States has failed to pass. Under ordinary
circumstances, It might be considered
scarcely proper to insinuate that the gentle
man introducing such resolution does not
know what the Fourteenth Amendment ia
but there is suggestion in it all that he
does not. There is much confusion
respecting the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Federal Constitution .
very natural confusion, perhaps, consider.
ing the fact that very few people who dis
cuss this matter have taken the two
minutes time necessary to read over the
amendments.
The Fourteenth Amendment-that part
OF it referring to the elective franchise and
the apportionment Of representatives
among the States-is imperative because
it has been superseded by the Fifteenth. A
mere look at the two amendments will
show this, and will show also that all talk
of reducing the representation in the South
is simply and solely bosh. That is what
it has been intended to be from the yerv
beginning Of the agitation, that and moth
ing more.
Claus 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment.
reads:
Representatives shall be apportioned
among the several State according to their
respective number of persons in each
State, excluding Indians not taxed But
when the right to vote at any election for
President and Vice President of the Unit
ed States Representatives in Congress, the
executive and judicial officers of q State.
or the members of the Legislature thereof
is denied to any of the male members of
such State, being of twenty-one years of
age, and citizens of the United States. or
in any way abridged except for participa
tion in rebellion of other crime, the basis
of representation therein shall be reduced
in the proportion which the number of
such citizens shall bear to the whole num-
Der of male citizens twenty-one years of
age in such State''
Very well; that Is plain enough. Ratified
by the aid of bogus governments of ten
Southern States it was proclaimed In 1858.
It was meant to apply to the negro. But
two years afterwards another amendment,
the Fifteenth, passed which declared:
1.-THE right Of the citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or abridg.
ed by any State on account Of race, color.
or previous condition of servitude."
Hence if you cannot deny the right to
vote, how are you going to reduce rep
resentation because you have denied it?
In other words, if you enforce this clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment on account
of disfranchisemeHt for race, color. or
previous condition, you thereby annul the
fifteenth Amendment.
Accordingly the way for the Southern
people to get the Fifteenth Amendment
repealed would be to insist upon the en-
forcement of the Fourteenth and nowhere
would it be opposed more stubbornly and
bitterly than among the very people who
began the hypocritical agitation. Charlotte

The projectors of the road and those
citizens most interested do not propose to
allow the road to stop at Hendersonville,
however, have in mind the continuation of
a trollY line into Rutherford county past
Chimney Rcck and into South Carolina.
The road would be dsed for both freight
and passenger service. 1t is said that the
cost OF grading via the Mills River route
would be reduced to the minimum owing
to the apparently level condition of the
country and that the prospects for the sue
cessful carrying out the scheme is bright

ELECTRIC CAR LINE,
From 4! HendersonVine to

PROPOSED PLANS DISCUSSED.
Horse Shoe, Mills River and Other
Places to be Benefited
Chimney Rock the Final
Destination.
PROPOSED PLANS DISCUSSED.

Judge II. G. Ewart and w. A. Smith,
of Hendersonville, representing the Board
of Trade of that place, met with the di-
rectors of the Asheville Board of Trade
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed electric railway from
AsheVille to Hendersonville and thence on
to Chimney Rock, in Rutherford county.
The matter was discussed yesterday in a
general way and with a view to bringing
the Asheville and Hendersonville interests
of the projected enterprise in closer touch.
1t developed dnring the conference that
the people of Henderson and Rutherford
counties are enthusiastic over the matter
and that sufficient subscriptions have been
secured to enable the projectors to secure
charter and make a survey. Application
for the charter will be made at once and
subsequently the survey will be under,
taken.
There are two routes proposed. One is
to parallel the Southern railway line from
Asheville to Hendersonville and the other
through West Asheville, and the Horse
Shoe and Mills River section. The latter
route is deemed the best and it is probable
that If the road is built this will be the
route selected. By going through the Mills
River and Horse Shoe sections great deal
of fertile and valuable land will be touched
by the road and the country brought In
closer contact with Asheville and Hender-
