"a. RRYAN IN ATLANTA


Mr.. william J. Bryan has made sew
eral trips to Georgia. but do not sup
pose he will ever make a more quiet
one than the one reported today. He Is
recognized as an. orator. full OF magnet
ism. and had wonderful staying power as
a politician; but Mr.. Bryan does not en-
thuse Georgia people any more. He has
had his day. and his day has passed.
He had fine subject-''The Price OF
a Souls-and the deadly virus that Nam
mon has upon humankind. But the world
has grown callous to the craze for money.
They are all after it. and politics is brim-
fuI OF money A poor man today finds
public office shut off to him. unless he
sports considerable money he is out. He
can't pay the candidate fees unless he
has a bank account. To get there Eli
they must buy the ticket and the ticket
won't be bought unless the candidate is
flush with money, or the people who want
him, 10 use him, are willing to pay II
over TO get a man of their own heart.
would have been glad II Mr.. Bryan had
discoursed on bribery as related to Ohio
and Illinois and Lorimer; that's the sort
of talk that I'll pay to hear.
But the world moves too fast TO crate
in platitudes. I'd rather pay somebody
to split rails for me rather than TO pay
money to hear some far off orations on
nebulae or the scarcity of radium. Give
us sledge-hammer ticks on what this
country is drifting to and what sort of
money It is that buys the votes Of legis-
latures. congressman and even men In
higher stations.

TONS OF CABBAGE

The Denison Herald gives this
account of cabbage growing in the
Wichita Falls country:
Ten tons of cabbage to the acre
were grown near Wichita Falls
since last August. G.. L. Grooms,
formerly of San Antonio, did this
as a demonstration. The land was
irrigated. Ten tons! That's quite
a lot of cabbage. 1t was raised at
a season of the year when north
Texas is doing little in the cab

obtainable. This is another evil

292 BOTTLESOF BOOZE FOUND
IN THE CITY BLIND TIGERS.

The above was the result of raid
made last Monday afternoon by Chief
Maxwell and Policeman Garren on
the Dixie Cafe situated on Main street,
and on the Central Cafe situated on
3rd avenue This is not the first
time that the Dixie has been found
guilty of doing the blind tiger act and
the place has anything but a very
lsaYory reputation, according to re-
ports that we have often heard of
that took place in this Cafe. So far
as we know this is the. first time that
the Central has been pulled" for sell
ling whiskey, but the fact that whis-
key was found in the place puts it
on par with the other jaunt. Such
places are a stencil and an abomina-
stion to all decent and law abiding
citizens, and the people that conduct
such places are anything but desira-
bic citizens.

RAILROAD Men
HERE!

Railroad activities have seemingly
egun in earnest in and around Hen
dersonville upon the old right OF way
nd surveys of the well known pro-
osed Appalachian Ipterurban railroad
Mr. Lantry a man from New York was
here Wednesday and at once became
in touch with several corps OF engln-
eers who have been known to be IN
this neighborhood for the past few
days. One corp of engineers have
been running a line from this town
to Rutherfordton and another crowd
are coming from the direction OF
Greenville, s. c., via Brevard. just
what it all means has not yet been
brought to light.
Several months ago the sum of
nearly $4,000 changed hands at one
of the banks in this town from out
side parties to the endorsers OF the
late Mr.. T. G.. McNeely who for many
years past has been a 4conslstant
worker on the promotion OF the APP
palichain railroad through this sec
tion of the country. Several times ne
came very near getting the necessary
capital in building the road and just
before his death 1T is understood he
closed a deal with what it is thought
to be the company which has nearly
a hundred men in the field in West
ern North Carolina.
The engineers who have charge OF
the various corps of surveys in this
territory are Messrs Cush-
ion and Strong. of Tryon: No infor-
nation can. be learned from them as
yet WY these surveys are being made.
It seems evident that the new COM
pany is asking very little from the To-
cal citizens and all preliminary work
is being financed by outsiders.

THE COUNTY Commission
ERS IN SESSION MONDAY.

Moore will have to pay the bill him
self. Press Lane wanted release from
a special school tax of SIS. and was
referred to the county board of educa-
ton. Robert Ledbetter says he's tax
ed on $199 real money in bank and
sorrowfully disclaims having that
much but wouldn't mind it a bit if he
had. The board, however, refused to
release Robert and told him to come
back next regular meeting day and
they'd see.,
Henry Justus was given a document
which releases him from payment of
poll tax and Henry ha sthe document
tightly wadded up in that big purse of
his. Asked by Chairman Bane if he
was able to work. Henry gracefully
leaned over the chairman's chair and
remarked that he was totally unable
to perform any really laborious or
toilsome manual labor, that the light
tasks befaling him as assistant janitor
of the court house we're just about his
limit. you know. and that anything
calling for more severe mental or
physical strain than this was out of
his class, as you might say.
The officers of the county, who are
on salary have been In the habit or
making out claims for the money due
them, thus affording the county treas
.urer his little per cent. In the future
this will be dispensed with and here
after the county treasurer's per cent.
will be somewhat diminished.
All road petitions either for changes
In established roads or for new ones,
receive the closest scrutiny of the
board. It is their expressed opinion
that roads should be changed only
when absolutely necessary, and that
when man has spent his money inn
proving property on an established
road common justice would dictate
that the road remain there. Many
road petitions were considered. Judge
Ewart, Med. Ray and w. B. Rector
argued the merits or showed UP the
dement's of some of the various pro-
positions.

This was the decision rendered at a
special session of the aldermen We'd
nesday here in the city hall. This
meeting was held for the purpose of
hearing the complaint of Messrs Black

absent and sent a petition asking that
the town authorities retract their steps
in closing the doors of the restaurants
after raid made several days ago
when it was alleged that a large guam
tity of liquor was found on the pre-
misses. The petition stated that if the
town council would not push the case
that the said Black would conduct his
place of business in this town in a
clean manner allowing the policemen
to make daily inspection, etc.
The aldermen voted that Black must
lappear before them and show cause
why his license should not be revoked.
There was a large delegation of lead
ing citizens of the town at the trial

words, thanked the meeting for the
