$4,000. The location of the tree, it's
approximate age, and it's general
health as reported by the tree inspec-
tors of the Forestry department from

ing M. L. Shipman, who has returned
from a visit to the western part CT
the state, brings the news that every
town in western North Carolina is en-
joying a splendid tourist season.
There is an ~appreciable difference in
the number of early visitors this year
and they have come from far wider
territory.
Mr.. Shipman remarked that the
people of the west are too busy en-
tertaining the visitors to discuss pol
tiles this early.
In Avery county, the latest addition
to the states list, Mr.. Shipman found
a hot contest among the residents for
a location of the county seat. Elk
Park is now the temporary seal of
government, while the Old Fields of
Toe and Montazuma are contesting
with Elk Park the right to become
the permanent seat. A vote will be
taken early in August. The bill ere
ating the county says it should be as
near the center as possible.

Warm Politics in Wilmington.

Wilmington, July 20.-The political
atmosphere in Wilmington has been
tara heat today, owing to the cir
culation of twelve petitions for the
recall all councinlmen elected last
May under the new commission form
of government, and it was stated to-
night that something over 700 names
had been secured, the law requiring
80 per cent of the vote cast il the last
general municipal primary election
for all candidates running for office OF
mayor. While the law is very badly
mixed on what election is meant, ow-
ing to the peculiar manner in which
the primary was held, the authorities
will probably hold that the election
referred to was not the last primary
but one held two years ago, which
sary. Those who back the movement
claim they will be able to get at least
I,500 names.
The petition gives as reasons for
recalling the councilmen the follow
ing: Not allowing merchants to use
any part of sidewalks in displaying

Dispute in Senate as to Virginians
and CaroHnlans in Charge ct
Gettysburg.
Washington, July Ex-senator
Dixon Of Montana, republican, and
Senator Martin of Virginia, demo-
crat, brought their civil war histories
and encyclopedias to the senate to-
day to settle the question whether
Virginia or North Carolina troops
figured more prominently in Pickett's
charge at Gettysburg.
Senator Dixon was born in North
Carolina. He asserted in the senate
Tuesday that histories were all
wrong about the charge of Pickett's
"Virginians" and that there were
more North C~aro1inians in the fam
GUS charge.
Today Senator Martin cited histor-
les to show that Pickett's troops were
Virginians. Dixon replied with ci-
tations showing that they were back
ed up by Is North Carolina regiments.
Martin said he thought he could say
the same thing of the Virginia Con
federates.
The controversy was finally DROP
ped when the senate got uneasy over
a threatened renewal of civil war
memories.

Osborne. irritated by what he

Antiquity Of Tobacco.

Raleigh, July 24.-The keenest sort
of interest is developing on tbs part
of parents as well as educators in tins
impending adoption of the textbooks
that are to be required to be used in
the public schools of the state during
the next five years, the examination
Of books for adoption being now in
progress by the ~sub-textbook COM
mission with the actual work Of fLAl
adoption less than two weeks OF.
Possibly the greatest anxiety is being
manifested as to the share of pror1i~
hence that is given to accurate in
formation regarding North Carolina
in the readers, the histories and kin
dred books that are finally adopted
by the commission. This state has
suffered so much from lack of rep
resentation and from misleading in
formation that there is a d~eer-seat-
ed anxiety in this regard.
In a notable and animated discus
sion of this question i; was asserted
that there is now being exploited in
North Carolina a set of biographies
that may be involved in the work
of adoption that have in the element
airy volume over three hundred and
fifty pictures without a single of
them being credited in North Caro-
lima, while the advanced book hss
nearly six hundred illustrations and
only one of these bearing a NORTH
Carolina name.

Death Remores Good Citizen.

Mr.. . F. LYDIA after suffering for
sometime with a long seige of sick
ness, died about 4 o'clock Friday
morning.
The deceased was about As years
old and leaves a wife and two O
Albert and jesse. Funeral services
were conducted at the house at 4
o'clock this afternoon and interment
made at Oakdale cemetery.
Mr.. LYDIA was formerly engaged in
the mercantile business here. The
news of his death was learned today
with universal regret from all who
were 30 fortunate ass to be In close
touch with him.
Antiquity Of Tobacco.
The idea that tobacco has only been
known in Europe since the discovery
nf America IS incorrect. In fact, the
Medes and Persians a long time be-
fore our era smoked n~arghiles, as an
cient scriptures prove. A philolgist
has suggested that the Greeks and
Romans smoked tobacco at least in
their colonies. in the Malay archipet-
ago the use of cigars and cigarettes Is
said to date much further back than
the discovery Of America. The word
edgar" seems to show that mans
solace and comfort did not originate
in the West Indies. but is most Iibelv
derived from sahara" an Arab word
meaning smoke.

Many Bridal Couples Visit Laurel
PARK

Thursday not less than four differ
emf pairs of newly-weds visited Laur-
ell Park. And without exception, each
and every pair of 'em made the trip
to the top of Echo Mountain via the
Swiss Incline Railway.
Each one of the seats in the incline
railway cars ordinarily accommodate
four passengers. The Fresh Corn
Crisp Man, a close observer of the
passing throng from his tent at the
foot of the railway, reamrked that
eight could easily have found space
on the seats occupied by the happy
couples.
Two Of the four sets were married
in Hendersonville Wednesday, and de-
cided that Laurel Park would be the
one best place for their honeymoon.
They spent part of the day wander
ing through teh miles of lovers lanes
penetrating the estate and found
many a secluded spot wher vows of
simply eternal love could be safely
repeated.
They all ended the day by enjoying
a thrilling ride UP the incline, and as
the Fresh Corn Crisp Man remarked,
there was plenty of space to spare in
the seats occupied by the newly weds
as they journeyed closer to the skies
of eternal bliss.

 Brown never fought better battle dur ipr' his career, while the showing of the champion, especially in the early rounds was a disappointr' ent. As Wolgast be- came more accustomed to Browns style re fought hn much better form.
