Salmon L. Chase on stopping at the
birthplace OF Patrick Henry in VIZ
ginia exclaimed: What an atmos.

Henry grew here" Whereupon an
honest native dryly remarked that the
atmosphere, the view and the noun.

that only one Patrick Henry had been
produced.-MacoD Telegraph.

valuable mineral on the lands of
Mrs. Dave Steele, in the edge of
Rowan, about three miles east Of
Oak Forest, this county. Two
prospectors from the North came

drove from here to the Steel
place to examine the samples of
ore and look over the ground,
and it is said they were favorably
impressed with what they saw.
1t is not know whether mining

Small veins of gold have been

The Laws Delay.
Asheville Citizens.

ASheVllle CltlZenS.
Criminal statisticians who have
been searching for the chief
cause of the alarming increase in
crime in this country during the
last ten years, have come to the
conclusion that the laws delay is
solely responsible therefor. The
hardness with which the wheels
of justice move has become a by
word in other sections of the
world, and yet there seems to be
concerted effort in the country,
generally speaking, to remove
this stigma from us. THE vast
increase in crime in the United
States" says the Pensacola Eve
ningNews, has reached an ap-
palling figure, and can only be ac-
counted for by the weakness of
the application of our laws. JUS
tice cheated by worthless tech
nicalities, and the weakness of
the average jury are largely re-
:sponsible. Statistics have been
prepared by eminent authority
which shows that only two per
cent of murderers in the United
States are convicted. against so
per cent in England, 81 per cent
in France, II per cent in Italy,
So per cent in Spain and 95 per
cent in Germany. Conditions in
our country have been getting
worse until now there are nearly
live times as many murderers
for every million of our popula-
ton as there were twenty years
ago. Our boasted civilization!
More murders committed in the
United States every year than in
all Europe"
1t is an indisputable fact that
in sections where justice has
moved with swift feet. the de-
crease in crime has been most
marked. Wherever legal organ
izations have set to work to add
celebrity to the feet of justice con-
ditions have greatly improved,
and it is creditable to our own
county bar to record the fact
that it's members are even now
engaged in a movement to this
end. The Citizen has no doubt
that it will succeed, and that the
bright legal minds which adorn
this circuit will do all in their
power to bring about that result.

the termination of the holiday buying for the year 1910.
 As has been the case for the past few days the heaviest demand was made on fruits and produce and on chickens and turkeys.
 Yesterdays business in the market | for poultry and eggs was said to have been the most active this week. Though receipts were only moderate the demand was lively and has made telling difference in the number of chickens, turkeys and geese on hand. About 15 crates were reported as hav- ing reached the market. It is a not able fact that much of the supplies of poultry will have reached the puL- lie through the retailers.
 A heavy run was made on fruits and produce which continued Into tho night. The quantity of supplies reach ing and leaving the market Is some- thing enormous and 1t is thought that this years trade will exceed that of any other previous one. No special arrivals were reported other than oranges, apples, etc, that have been coming in heretofore.
 Business was practically dead In tho market for flour and feedstuffs, ao- cording to the report of the merchants, and this condition was attributed to double cause of bad weather and tha all-consuming rush for the holiday goods.
 There were no changes in quotations for vesterday
