Those Who Celebrate the Fourth Bet.
 ter Watch Out,

I Although no arrests have been made because of the premature ob- servance of Independence day. some are likely to- Superintendent of Police Beach has given the officers strict orders to bring to the station any person caught exploding fire works before Thursday. The small boy does not feel as though the fourth is coming unless he fires few crackers before the long awaited morning.
 The police are going to make an effort to prevent those loud explo- sions heard the past year and caused by putting sulphur and saltpeter on the car tracks. The noise made by this combination year ago was something terrific and is said to have injured the tracks in many instances It has also a tendency to frighten the passengers for when it is laid on the rails in large quantities, it fairly shakes the car. The saltpeter and sulphur will perhaps beallowed but not in big doses. No pistols and blank cartridges will be permitted The time set forth for giving the per- son the chance of showing his enthus- iasm is from a. m. Thursday morn ing until II o'clock that night.

WHAT IS Mollycoddle !?

That's the question that seems to ! bother lots of people nowadays. Let us tell you what we consider it means.
 A mollycoddle is a person who ob- jects to carry home pound of our nice tasting 27-cent butter. No, sirree, he'd rather pay 30 cents right at his door even if the quality isn't near as nice as the kind we sell.
 Another mollycoddle is the man who starts about this time of the year looking for a political job, and believes what every politician tells him. Yes, every promise made him he believes it to be gospel truth.
 The mollycoddle that we are suro we know something about and who we are sure positively is real mol lycoddle, is an umpire at base bali game who hasn't brains enough to last him week, yet he can cheat, rob, sass; in fact, he can do just as he pleases, and if the players who have forgotten more than the um- pire ever knew should remonstrats, he can fine them whatever he thinks proper; but the ones who make base ball rules and don't fix 1t so that au umpire that proves to be an M. c. should lose his pay, are the very worst kind of mollycoddles. Say, we wouldn't have any mollycoddles if all umpires and politicians would drink nothing stronger than the kind we sell. Our Teas and Coffees are the e. milk fresh every day, and our But. ter hasn't an equal in the city, 20 per pound at

ROBERT E. LEES CENTENARY.

The one hundredth anniversary of
ebrated at the college in the Shenan-
doah valley in which he gave the clos
ing years of his heroic life. Disre-
garding all offers of higher remunera-
ton, he went at the end Of the war
straight to the Washington university
in Lexington, Va. ,and there he worked
increasingly and devotedly until the in
stitution had a student body number
ing more than 900 young men and had
gained prestige that sprang directly
from his own noble character.
The centennial anniversary will be
known as the Washington and Lee
university, and the intention is to use
the commemorative event to explain
in the fullest manner the value of Gen
eral Lees services as an educator
This feature in his career has not been
adequately placed before the general
public Every living alumnus of the
university will be invited to go back
to Lexington on January 19, when the
centenary will be held. Charles f.
Adams, of Massachusetts, will deliver
the principal address, and the fact that
General Lee gave his life after the war
to education will be properly brought
out. Not only will the ceremonies be
attended by the graduates OF the uni
versity, but all the Confederate So
cieties have been invited to send rep
resentatives, and it is believed every
one of them will have a delegation in
Lexington on the nineteenth day of
next month. Lexington itself will en-
tertain all visitors, and the hope is
that the occasion will become historic
in the university that he presided over
five years, and in the chapel in which
rest his ashes. The entire south should
assist in doing honor to the memory of
its greatest son.

Public Sentiment in Buncombe Ripe
for Large Undertaking.

Asheville, y. c., Dec. 2O.-At a rep
resentative gathering of Asheville and
Buncombe county citizens, held here
today, it was the unanimous opinion
that Buncombe county should issue at
least $3.50, 900 in bonds for the macadam-
izing of the roads of the county. At
another meeting to be held next week
the question Of submitting the bond
issue to the people will be determined.
If it is decided that the time is ripe the
commissioners will be asked to call an
election to be held probably some time
in February. From statements of men
residing in the county the people of
Buncombe county are eager for good
roads, and are willing to vote the
bonds.
