WITH ASHEVTLLE

According to special sent out from
Asheville; N. c., says the Bristol Her
ald-Courier, that city is to have con-
nection with the Carlina, Clinchfield
and Ohio railway at Huntdale, Mitch
ell county, via Weaverville. The story
says:
An announcement that portends
great things for Asheville and western
Carolina and that which carried great
significance to those informed relative
to the matter was that from Raleigh
to the effect that a bill had been intro
duced in the legislature to incorporate
the Carolina and East Tennessee Rail
road Company, as it means that there
is a promise of competing railroad for
Asheville, the proposed road to be con-
structed between this city and Hunt
dale, Mitchell county, or rather the
road now in course of construction from
Asheville to Weaverville, is to be ex-
| tended to Huntdalle, where junction
will be made with the great Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio, which extends
into the coal mining counties OF South
west Virginia.

POSTOFFCE
IMPROVEMENTS

Postmaster Campbell is having a
stamp window put in so as to separate
the selling of stamps from the general
delivery, where people for so long have
been compelled TO fall in line with
those who were after mail, waiting
until dozens of boxes were gone through
before one could purchase stamps, ell
failing considerable embarrassment TO
business men. Mr., Campbell also pro-
poses 10 change the hour of closing the
outside doors, making the time $50 or
p. m., in order to accommodate bust
ness men who have boxes, but WHO can
not always be on hand just the minute
the mails are opened, or else find the
doors closed. These are much needed
reforms and the people will greatly APP
preciate the changes. Postmaster
Campbell is determined to keep abreast
of the times and to accommodate the
business men Of the city.

"pime Novel DAYS"

Marathon mad! When a mere child
read a story-I think 1t was a dime
novel-about an Indian runner; prob
ably a ten-cent Beadle; among the
first Of the ten-centers, and far more
wholesome than the salacious ten-cent
ers of the present day of eroticism
The winning of the west was due
largely to the dime novel, l never
read one that did not tend to enlarge
boys love of outdoor sport and clean
adventure. There was nothing that
could not be read at the family fire
side. Yet some one started a crusade
against the dime novel, and after 2(
years it was partly eradicated--that
is, it was forced to give way to the
cheap tales of city dens and dives

ELEVENTH GRADE
BUSINESS COURSE

Very few of the children attending a
graded school can complete college
course. Those who attend small col
leges often go away to school before
they have finished in the tenth grade
or even the eighth. Many who con-
tnue are those who can not afford to go
away, and there will be few graduates
if those now in the ninth grade are
compelled to take the first year of a
college course before they graduate. One
of the high school alumni, who has
been out Of school long enough TO find
what is needed, said: "Why didn't
they make Il business course of the
eleventh grader" This suggestion has
already met with favorable comment
in The Commercial Club. More prac-
teal knowledge is the cry of the age
The student " no is studelM from love
of ii will then be able to earn and help
himself, and the one who must earn TO
help perhaps a widowed mother, will
be able to do so and help himself or
herself through school. How many of
the old graduates remember enough of
their botany or geology now TO do them
amy good, and yet TO some they are
delight and their knowledge will in
crease, because they are students by
nature? A common school should he
for the most good to the greatest num-
Der. Even the average college gradu-
ate often finds himself wholly untitled
! to make decent living and disappoints
sadly the fond parents who have prid-
ed themselves on John making big
stir in the world. By the way, parent,
have you visited the school this year?
Why not? 1t is worth while to see fol
yourself what is being done for your
children. Look nj the child as worth
much attention as your colt or YOU
bird dog, where the training must bt
under your own eye. Help the faithful
teachers by your presence and your i'll

MUST HAVE MONEY
CHECK DOES NOT co WITH YOUR
UNCLE SAM.
Even Men Whose Names Are Synony
nous with Dollars in Millions
Have to Put Up the Actual
Currency.

Where Is the private citizen who
would refuse to accept a Vanderbilt,
Aston, Morgan, Rockefeller, Gould, or
other millionaire's check In payment
for a bill for services rendered? Yet
Uncle Sam will not when 1t comes to
settling up for customs duties on i'm
ported personal effects OF ocean tray
elers.
Even certified" check does not
serve to remove the financial credulity
of the nations treasurer, as several
millionaires who recently arrived from
Europe discovered when they ten
dered guaranteed" checks in payment
for the Introduction of foreign goods
for household use.
There is not a bank or financial in
stitution in the country but which
will accept a certified check as the
equivalent of good, hard cash. Uncle
Sam demands the coin of the realm,
however, and will not admit as it is
technically called, any dutiable article
until he gets it.
Not long since C. Oliver Iselin, the
yachtsman, whose fortune is estimated
at seven figures, arrived from England
In a White Star liner and offered his
check for $4,000 in payment of duty
on some curios which he bought
abroad.
81 am sorry, Mr., Iselin, but we are
not permitted to take anything but
currency" said Deputy Collector Will
liams. The Corinthian navigator OF
several Americas cup defenders
smiled incredulously, although he was
in hurry to get away from the pier
to catch a train.
| Mr.. Iselin sent one of his accom-
panying Wallets downtown and secured
the requisite cash, saying with a laugh
as he turned it into the branch Gus
tom house on the pier:
Il suppose the government must be
careful who 1t deals with"
Another millionaire whose check
was declined under similar circum
stances showed his displeasure by
threatening all sorts of official pun
ishment, and ended with the state
ment that he would have the SILLY
regulation" revoked If he was obliged
to spend his last dollar in doing so
He was still suffering and fumine
when Barney" Biglin, the veteran
politician, came upon the scene anC
lent the millionaire $1,75O to pay the
Indebtedness to the government.
What makes me mad" said the mil
lionaire to Biglin, lis that |, who cal
raise ten millions in half an hour, anC
that over the telephone, should b.
held up for paltry $1,75O. A rule
like that is outrageous"
The rule has not been revoked, how
ever, despite the millionaires threats
and Uncle Sam is doing strictly casl
business at the same old stand.

the best physicians attending him, and
the family he was boarding with left
everything and gave him their service,
and his many friends did what they
could, but in vain, and death occurred
about noon Saturday, his father and
brothers being nj his bedside.
He was young man,of pleasant
disposition, and was the kindest and
manifest Of young men, his friendship

his parents, brothers, sister and home
his stay at Johnson City being the
longest time that he had been away
| from home.

Waitzel W. and Harriet Hughes. He
was q years old and is survived by
