COL. HODGES TO BREvARD.
(Asheville Citizen.l

An announcement of unusual inter-
est in local railroad circles is that of
the transfer of Col. c. C. Hodges. SUI
perintendept of the Asheyille division
of the Southern Railway company, to
the Transylvania division with head
quarters af Brevard. Col. Hodges will
:be succeeded at this city by S. S. Get~
lins, of Selma, Ala, who for the past
several years has been superintendent
of the Mobile division.
The placing Of Col. Hodges in charge
of the Transylvanfa division followed
the creation of the Office by the man
agement of the railway q short time
ago. The line is one which is in need
of the services of a superintendent
who can give his entire time to this
work, it is felt, and for that reason it
was decided to establish a separate dl-
vision with headquarters at Brevard.
That the Southern regards the division
as an important one is shown by. its
action in naming Col. Hodges to have
charge Of it, the latter meeting with
much success in the various capacities
in which he has served the Southern.

MR.. VALENTINE DROPS NINE
BILLS IN LEGISLATIVE HOPPER.
Bills CAN for Salary Increases, Incor.
poration East Fiat Rock: the Tax
Bib Asphyxiated.
(By T. r. Barrows1

Raleigh, Feb. 8.-About one half of
the General Assembly's allotted span
OF life has passed into the great be-
yond. There have been 466 bills intro
duced in the Senate and 74S in the
house. Henderson county's represents
ative,, Mr.. George Valentine. has
dropped Of this number into the
hopper. &
Mr.. Valentines latest bill is one To
incorporate the town of East Fiat Rock.
He has received, and is receiving.
many petitions for and against the
proposition. The bill has not vet been
reported from the committee. Mr..
Valentines bill to induce prompt pay-
ment of taxes in Henderson county
was put to sleep in the Senate. It
Will not awaken. Another Henderson
county measure which may pass the
House, when it is introduced, will pro-
vide for increases In certain county
otflc1ais salaries. 1t may pass the
House, when it is introduced, but that's
about as far as it will get. They are
rude. rough set of men in the Sem
ate-sometimes.
1t Is common talk on the floor Of
both Senate and House that the North
Carolina AntiSaloon Leagues liquor
bill will pass, practically without
amendment. AS is generally known.
the bill is most sweeping in its pro-
visions. 1t sReuld absolutely prohibit
the shipment Of booze into the State
except to ministers of the gospeI-to
be used in church services only =.
But-and please mark this but
while the bill will be allowed to pass
its ratification vii lbe left to the peo-
pie sometime during 1916 That4would
mean another prohibition campaign,
and its1outcoHne wouId- be. problemati-
cal. s
But, again, should the-laW actually
become effective, the Old North State
would be prohibition in fact as we'll
as in name.
Another bill of interest 10th Wes-
tern part Of the State is the child labor
measure killed in the Senate last
week. Another measure, for tfesame
zpuTr Sc u III be introaaeed this week.
H will have the endorsement OF Eom1
missioner of Labor NJ Z. Shipman and
stands an excellent chance of getting
through. It simply provides the ma
schinery for making the present child
labor law effective and carries only the
modest appropriation of Sc 900 an
nually for that purpose.
The big measures will be heard Of
from now on. A Statewide primary
will be put on the law books-possibIy
for all officers down to constable. The
State Highway commission is another
matter of. large Importance. The
statement is made repeatedly that bond
issues are voted. additional burdens
placed on the people and still no
roads that are roads. built AS the bill
is Statewide in its provisions, Hen
derson county will have a peculiar
interest in it's passage.

BUNcoMBE ALSO HAS VERY BAD
ROADS; GENERAL MUD PREVAILS.
(Asheuille Citizen.l

That the roads of Buncombe coun-
ty are in the worst condition OF the
past quarter of century is indicated
by statements made by farmers whose
business brings them to Asheville and
Asheville people who are fond9of driv-
ing. The mud is so deep in many
. places, it is said, that the roads can
not be used, while in others it is pos
sible to traverse them only with the
greatest difficulty.
The condition of the highways at
the present time is due to the recent
heavy rains which have been expert
enced here, AshevfIlians recalling
that this city has had but few clear
4sfays since the first of December. The
indications are that there viii be no
relief from the present conditions al1f-
til the precipitation is lighter. The
road workers of the county are able
to make but little progress now on ac-
county of the condition of the soil, and
It would be advisable to try to improve
the conditions as long as the frequent
rains continue, the commissioners Of
the county believe.
One authority on road work said yes
terday that although travelling is un-
pleasant now the heavy rains viii
prove of benefit eventually. Many OF
the sand-clay roads, he said, have
been in need of a thorough drenching
tor sometime past and while they are
IN bad condition now, it will be seen
alter they have had an opportunity to
ury that they are f1rmer and more dur
able than they have been before. He
called attention to the fact that the re-
cent rains have been steady rather
IMAM hard and this, he says, is respon-.
Siole for the fact that few of the high
ways have been damaged permanently.
"hen the weather improves, it will be
possible to put the highways in excel
ient condition.
y, Bad roads are not confined to
", western North Carolina just now.
ne precipitation has been general
throughout the south and motor Jour
nals show that automob obiIists are ate
tenptlng to make few eross-c0untr
lIl'es on account of the condition OF
tn tne highways. Motoring viii not be
,''n ,ahen up to any great degree until the
+bF be@'neF is considerably better

The society is in need of funds and
help of all kinds, as will be seen by
the following report:

during January: applications for help,
10: number found deserving, 8; nuH1-
7ber helped, 3; cash and plsdges re-
ceived $500; amount paid for fuel
and provisions to the poor, s.. so; for
stamps and stationery, soc.
A room has been provided for stoF-
ing clothing or articles of any kind
that may be utilized for the relief az
the needy, and a number OF articles
have already been given.
"A number of cases coming to the att
tention of the association have been
reported to the churches and other orr
ganizations of which they were men@
bers, and relief furnished through
such organizations.
We find lots of work to do and much
suffering, especially through the cold
weather. More funds are needed, and
those disposed to alleviate suffering
of the unfortunate can find an express
sion of their interest by contributing
to the association, where every cent is
spent judiciously, and careful inves-
tigation made of the parties receiving
same. We do not help where the
parties are able to help themselves,
but the work OF the association is to
help those unable to help themselves,
and to discourage promiscuous and IN
iudicious giving, and to protect the
public as far as possible from being
imposed upon by professional beggars
Any contribution may be turned
over to the president, the secretary or
treasurer, and It viii reach its proper
channel .

STATE AID TO RAILROADS.

Raleigh, N. C.. Feb. 5.-The Senate
today killed the Muse bill designed to
break up the State policy of aiding the
construction of railroads in undevelop-
ed territory by working conVicts in ex-
change for stock; and this, with the.
action of the House more than week
ago in defeating the Page bills to re-
peal the acts that authorized the con-
Wet work now in progress, is taken to-
mean that the 1915 Legislature has
now fixed this State aid policy at least
to the extent of carrying out the com
r. cts tRat the State has with railroad
companies for this eo-operatfYe con-
struction work.

WESTERN TRAINING SCHOOL.
Jackson County Journal Says That its
Charges Remain Undenied.
Jackson County JournaL)

Charges Remain Undenied.
Jackson County JournaI.)
The Journal wishes to express it's
thanks to the Western Carolir.e Demo-
crat tor presenting our views upon the
establishment of the Western Training
school. We had about despaired of
getting hearing when, last week the
Democrat came forward with this:
".The Jackson County Journal is jump
ing on the proposed training school for
Western North Carolina with both
feet. Four years ago Hendersonville
was very busy in an effort to land the
proposed institution. This year it is
not doing anything. There is no oc-
casion to pull for the school for any
one locality until the legislature makes
ian appropriation.
The Journal is naturally interested
in the Jackson county institution, Gull
lowhee, and If it can see where the
school would be crippled by another,
then its fight would be very plausible.
We are not well enough informed on
this subject to take sides, but we are
told that CuIlowhee's influences killed
the bill two years ago. In order that
the Journals position may be made
known we reproduce the recent edi-
torial. y
There follows complete presentas
ton of what We, have said about the
matter. So
. WeFwodld remind the Democrat that
the Journal has charged thai the pur-
pose of the Buncombe people is9to es@
tabHsh school there the object and
intent -of WhicH Is to combine ne
Cullowhee and Boone schools IN the
new one at AsheviIle. No one has de-
MED it, so far as We know. Not a
word have the Bupcombe papers said
in denial of the charge.
We repeat that it has no other OBJ
ject in view than the destruction of
our splendid schools in Watauga and
Jackson for the benefit of Buncombe.
Commenting on the action Of the
Greater Western North Carolina as
sociation the Journal says:
We fear that this is rather mislead-
ing, for, on the face of it, it appears
to reflect the sentiment of the whole
of the counties of the association,
which it does not.
Mr.. Ensley's plea was that it was not
a matter upon which the association
should act, as it's purpose is to build
up one section to the prejudice Of an
other.
The association has done great
work and we are with it to the last
ditch, therefore we want it distinctly
understood that the association is not
to blame for the attempt that was
made to use it for the benefit of one
county The blame lies entirely with
the county of Buncombe, the county
that is fighting for the establishment
of the school, the county would derive
the emoluments of its establishment.
