run as follows: 10, 1856, 1887,
2lO.3 and 48l.5 ounces per ton,
and other assays of good values,
according to the scope of the
sample taken. Indicative of the
manner in which Mr.. Scoville
views the property is the follow
ing extracts from his report
which we have had the pleasure
of seeing:
MY impression of the prop
erty is most favorable and | can
advance no reason why it cannot
be made a certain success.
Enough high grade ore is in
sight that can be shipped at
once, and yield a good profit,
over railroad and smelling
charges and mining expenses.
MY time being limited, | was
unable to examine other mines
in the Phoebe district, or the
rich strikes reported in many of
them, but can say with all
sincerity, that you have a certain
paying proposition in the Lyn-
don group with the probability of
striking bonanza chutes of ore. /"

The stock market continues
tender, but the recession which
began about two weeks ago has,
in the opinion of the best judges.
carried New York stocks to a
point at which purchases for
material profit can safely be
made. The market for standard
rails and industrials is now fairly
bottomed for an advance, prob
ably of from 10 to 20 points in
such stock as Union Pacific and
St. Paul. The list should ad-
vance smartly with the leaders.
The reasons for this opinion
are that the speculative profit
takers have realized and that
the wise bears are assiduously
covering their shorts. The fool
ish bears will be made to cover
them.
The market remains a good
market for spectators. After
the next advance we look for a
period of uncertainty with q
tendency toward weakness
until the elections are over, OF
until the big men in the market
are satisfied that the elections
will result in the choice of 9

business activities and CONNER

School Election
Fell Through
Another Move Should Be
Immediately Made. No
Time to be Lost.

The election to determine the
question as to whether Phoebe
would bond the district, which
was to be held last Monday, was
continued on account of differ
ent errors, which would have
invalidated the election had it
been continued. One occurred
in the minutes Of the board of
commissioners, and caused that
body to revoke its action in ex-
tending the school boundaries and
there wee others which were
held to be vital.
This should not discourage
our citizens by any means. but
a new and determined effort
should be made. We have no
time to loose, and the trustees
realizing this, will issue an
other call.
We have heard several state
that this is not the proper time
to vote for the issuance of bonds
for such a large amount. True,
with $fv, 900 bond issue, it
would entail something like 81. 20
per hundred extra on the tax
able property. No one denies
the fact that a new school build
ing is needed, and while build
ing, it appears that an adequate
structure for high school pur-
poses should be put up.
All qualified electors residing
in this district, who have not
registered as yet, should do SC
before it becomes too late.

MANY Of the 'boys'' have never
visited Hendersonville before and
some of them may not have ex-
perienced the pleasure of gazing
upon the majestic peaks here
abouts where the God of Ma
ture comes close to us, and pure
breath fresh from the portals of
heaven relieves the distressed;
where parched palates are cooled
with crystal waters bubbling from
the never failing mountain
springs that drift into diamond
pendants as they leap from their
picturesque homes and hurry on
toward the Father of Waters. 1t
is especially pleasing to be able
to greet the brethren from the
central and eastern sections of
the State, These meetings are
always an inspiration, being re-
plete with interesting discussions
upon matters pertaining to the
good of the Order, which has &C
complished so much for the edu-
cational and moral uplift of the
people everywhere. Business
must have attention, to be sure,
but there will be a time for re-
creation and we want the visitors
to get acquainted with as many
Of our people as possible. Disre-
gard ''formalities" and become
one of us while you stay. Just
be "one of the boys" that's all.
This is Hendersonville's first OPP
portunity to try her hand at en-
tertaining a great assemblage of
representative people, but she
hopes that her initial effort in
this regard may be reasonably
successful. Be that as it may,

would prohibit We cannot be-
lieve anyone who makes such a
statement is sincere in what he
says. The trouble with this
class of citizens is simply that
they are afraid to take chances
on getting their booze, if prohi-
bition should be adopted, hence
the resort to all sorts of f1imsy
excuses in an attempted justif-
cation of the untenable position
they are taking upon the ques-
ton. They are fearful that it
will prohibit and this fact alone
accounts for their opposition.
However, there will not be
enough of these real prohibi-
tionistS" in these dlgglngS' to
black the board on the 18th of
May. Our good people are in
favor of schools, churches and
peaceful homes, and against .sa-
looms, still-houses and kindred
evils.

Personal Liberty Again.

Some weeks ago we published
Governor Glenn's reply to the
suggestion of whiskey advocates
that prohibition would deprive
the people of their personal
liberty" The Governor showed
the absurdity of such a conten-
ton and left the opposition
with no ground to stand upon"
but still the talk goes on. Be-
coming impatient with such silly
twaddle, DR.. Battle, an eminent
Baptist divine of Kinston, paid
his respects to the disseminators
of the same in the following well
chosen language.
Again it has been said that
if prohibition carries that it will
interfere with personal liberty.
Liberty is a beautiful word and
no people love liberty better than
the Southern people. Natural
and civic liberty are two differ
interpretations. The first is
the liberty of the savage and the
other is the liberty of civilization
and of real free men. The courts
have held there is no inherent
right in any citizen of any state
to sell liquor. If there is no in

the right to confer it it has also
the right to revoke it. if the best
interest of the greatest humber
is at stake.
AT a great banquet in New
York the other day, an editor of
a great paper stated that he had
a solution for that problem which
Henry Clay said was the greatest
of all problems. This man said
let the whites and blacks inter
marry, Let the blood of the eau
casian and of the black be ming
led together, and the race prob
lem will fade away. This might
be a question of personal liberty,
but I say by the God that made
us, so long as one drop of Anglo
Saxon blood is in our veins, it
shall not be.
THE time has come when
puerile sophistries must be tram
pied under foot, and l swear
with an oath, more sacred than
Scipio's, that the land of my
fathers shall be free, and it will
be free"
If this is not a solar-plexus
blow we frankly submit to being
an incompetent judge of such
matters. These personal lib
erty'' howlers should now take
to the woods. Governor Glenn
and DIR. Battle have made them
look like thirty cents" Fact
is, no real argument can be adj
vanced in advocacy of the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors. Old booze must go and
the sooner the better for the
people of North Carolina. If you
love your home and your State
vote for prohibition on the 18th
of this month and be happy,

A woman with three children

the other day and requested

woman was tired-the children
were tired-they had been walk
ing all day and the sun was hot
and the road seemed long. The

does not permit it's mayor to dis
burse charity from it's treasury
but Hizzoner hiked over to the

there, dug down iuto his own

there had been tears there were
