Hard Battle,

ent plans of the Asheville prohi.
bitionists carry, a stiff fight
against liquor will be waged here
this midsummer or early fall. 1t
was learned today that several
papers have been circulated re-
GENTLY for signatures of voters for
the purpose of getting a line of
local sentiment relative to prohi-
bition and the liberal signing of
these papers, it is alleged, by men
of almost every walk in life has
had the effect of greatly encour-
aging the temperance people and
to make practically certain the
calling for an election on the
whiskey question. A we'll at
tended meeting of temperance
people was held in the First Bap-
tist church last night when the
matter was discussed at some
length and in all enthusiastic man.
ner. Col. V. S. Lusk was made
temporary chairman of the move
ment and plans are making for q
great temperance rally in the near
future. 1t is understood that
Gov. R. B. Glenn has been ten
dered an invitation to speak here
on Sunday, June 80, in the cause
of temperance. Governor Glenn,
it is said will speak to the people
of Asheville from the pulpit of
the First Baptist church on Sun.
day morning, June 80, and at the
auditorium on Haywood street
that night. The following Tues
day night it is proposed to hold a
big prohibition meeting for the
purpose of organization and the
Inauguration Of temperance
campaign. The ministers of the
city are taking considerable inter-
est in the movement already and
it is understood that at the meet
ing last night number of the
divines of the city were present.

The Worst Wind and Hail Storm Ever
Witnessed in and Near Norwood.

Norwood, June 12 The worst
wind and hail storm ever wit
messed by our people visited this

window lights were broken from
the cotton mill windows. All
work was stopped, and the wind,
hail, glass, lint and screaming
operatives made the scene terrible
to witness.

Montgomery, Ala, June 12.-
The State ceased business today
to mourn the death of Senator

last night. The flag on the capi-
tol is at half-mast and the Gov
ernor has issued proclamation
recitlng the Senator's virtues, his

The negro murderer, told of in
Thomasville correspondence, was
brought to Jail here Sunday. He
has two balls in him, one in the
hip and one in the knee, which he
claims the dead negro put in him.
The talk is that he put them
there himself. A physician was
called IN to examine him, but de-
elded on no operation He is q
bad negro, they say, and we hear
that the negroes in Thomasville
talked good deal about lynch
ing him. Clay Thomas, another
negro was with him, it is said,
and he is out on $1OO bond.
Carl Maynard, a young white
fellow, son of Jake Maynard, of
High Point, and brakeman on
the Southern, was arrested last
week late one night on complaint
of Mollie Everhardt, of this place,
who charged attempted assault.
The scene of the alleged crime
was right IN town, close to where
the carnival was running. The
young fellow was placed IN jail
and given hearing next morn
ing He had no lawyer, intro
duced no witnesses and left the
testimony of the woman uncon-
tradicted. In view of this, the
mayor held him without bail.
Later, however, he allowed him to
give bond in the sum of $1,000,
which he gave Sunday, and was
then released.
B. F. Everhardt, of the Arnold
naighborhood, brought in curl
osity last week in the shape of a
calf whose hair was wool, not all
wool and not a yard wide, but
partly wool, regular sheep wool,
too, and many witnesses can testi-
fly to it. The calf is of Jersey ex-
traction and is three months old,
and very likely looking critter
Of the male persuasion. It is
white and brown spotted, and
wi erever there is brown, there is
the wool. The white is hair, but
much finer and eilkier than ordi-
nary calves wear in this part of
the country. The carnival people
offered the owner SIS for the un.
usual calf but Mr.. Everhardt
asked 500. He does not account
for the strange dress of the animal
and nobody else does.

Concord Times. June 18th.
An effort should be made by the
people of Concord to rid the city
of the mosquito, and this effort
should be entitled to the consid-
GRAFTON and aid of all citizens.
Indeed, there can be only meas
urable success without general CO.
operation. If house-holders pei
NIT rain barrels and pools of
standing water and open cess
pools in their lots, then mosqui-
tos cannot be exterminated, and a
whole neighborhood will suffer
from the neglect or indifference
Of one person. 1t has been shown
that mosquitoes do not travel far,
and if people will clean up their
premises and keep them clean,
the breeding places around the
houses will be made unproductive.
A trihlng amount of work in keep
ing cutters free from pools, of
emptying water from vessels in
the yard and the use each week of
few cents worth of oil are all
that is required.
A man giving his name as W.
e. West, of Spencer, came tc Con-
cord last Friday and hired horse
and buggy from Brown Bros,
liverymen, saying he wanted to
60 three or four miles in the coun-
try. AS he did not return by
night the Messrs. Brown became
anxious about the safety of their
animal and began making in
quiries about its whereabouts, and
Saturday morning M. L. Brown
telephoned some parties in Char
lotte asking them to look for the
outfit. He was called up later
by Shakespeare Harris, who told
him that his horse and buggy was
in Charlotte, that the buggy had
been sold, but the horse was at
the stable. Mr.. Brown asked Mr..
Harris to take charge of them
for him, which he did.
1t is said Police Justice McCon-
