creases amounting to about $250, 600
year.

at this time" he told the committee.
The legislature has no right to butt
into the affairs Of the city except
when the city government Is unable
to look after ITSELF"

Carolina, and more than the coun-
ties adjoining us and as many in
proportion as the Counties which
make up the 18th Judicial District.
Judge Harding also found as fact
that we placed upon the jury list
and in the jury box one hundred
thirteen more names than had been
therein placed by the previous ad-
ministration.
We, therefore, conclude from said
findings of fact that if we made any
mistake in not placing more names
in the jury box, the same mistake
has been made by former boards
and the jury commission and in all
the other counties in North Caro-
lima.
Prior to the meeting Of the Gen
eral Assembly of 1887, a Special Act
provided that non-payment of taxes
should not be a bar to jury service
in Ashe County. An act was passed
by the General Assembly of 1887 al
so to this effect It was not ratified
until March Is, 1887, and we did not
know of it's ratification until after
we adjourned and we therefore pro-
coded under the General Law and
the instructions of the Attorney
General as hereinbefore set out.
Judge Harding has concluded as
matter of law that we should con-
slider all those who have not paid
their taxes as we'll as those who had
paid their taxes for 1885, since this
Act was ratified on March 16 and
prior to our adjournment.
We desire to express our sincere
appreciation to the several hundreds
of citizens representing both politi-
cal parties and all the townships of
Ashe County, who signed affidavits
expressing confidence in our good
faith and approval of what we had
done in selecting a jury list for
Ashe County. We treasure their con-
! fidence and the confidence of the
people above and beyond all other
considerations. We believe that the
majority of the fair minded people
of Ashe County feel that we have
desired and do desire to place the
selection of jurieS in Ashe County
upon a fair basis and upon a high
plane. We felt that seven hundred
names in the jury box was a suffi-
cient number, considering the fact
that it was a larger number than
had heretofore been placed in the
jury box in Ashe County and as
large a number as other counties in
the State placed in their jury boxes
in proportion to the population. We
have no objections to there being a
considerably larger number of
names in the jury box and we have
no desire to discriminate against
any citizen of the County in this
matter.
Judge Harding has found as fact
that there are several thousand tax
payers in the County. 1t will take a
great deal of time at the expense of
the County to consider each name.
To give one minute to the name will
take approximately fifteen days of
eight hours each =dt we are per-
fectly willing to take as much time
as is necessary. We must obey the
order of the Court.
We, therefore, give notice that we
will meet in our office on the 23rd
day of August, 1887, at ten o'clock
A. M. and remain in session or meet
from time to time until the task i'm
posed upon us is completed.
This August 10, 1887.

R. B. BROWN,
j. E. OLIVER,

Reba Doughton Is
Featured in Papers
in Denver, Colo.
COngressman's Daughter Takes
Position in Colorado and
Likes That Country
Charlotte Observer)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Reba
Doughton, daughter of Representa-
tive Robert l.. Doughton of the
ninth North Carolina district, has
given up her job as secretary to her
father and is now in Denver, Colo,
serving as secretary to Thomas A.
Duke, who is in charge of the Den
yer regional statistical bureau of the
Bituminous Coal commission.
This was learned here today by
friends of Miss Doughton from Den
yer newspapers. The stories in the
Denver papers indicated that Miss
Doughton may be in Denver only
temporarily while the new branch
Of the coal commission is being set
up. News that Miss Doughton was
working in Denver was received
with considerable surprise by her
friends here who had been given to
understand that she was vactioning
Criticizes F. D. r.
In an interview published in the
Denver Post, Miss Doughton said
her visit to Denver was lone of her
happiest experiences. Evidently
contrasting the cool mountain
breezes of Colorado with the semi
tropical Washington heat, Miss
Doughton was quoted as disapprov-
ing President Roosevelt's insistence
that Congress remain in session.
II should think President Roose-
welt would know better than to keep
Congress in session during the sum-
mer heat. Look at the men who
have died under the strain. My
father is 70 years old, and 1 worry
about him, knowing how he works
from 10 to Is hours a day, setting
the pace for men years younger
than he. say holding Congress in
session is just brutal, indefensible;"
Miss Doughton was quoted as say
ing.
Lovely Daughter
The story in the Denver Post fol-
lows:
mo wonder that Robert LDough-
ton, member of Congress from
North Carolina and chairman of the
important Ways and Means commit
tee, hated to have his lovely, intelli-
gent daughter, Reba, give up her
job as his private secretary to come
to Colorado to help with the setup
OF the regional branch of the Ma
tional Bituminous Coal commission.
But here she is, with her blond
head bent over a desk Uttered with
documents and her sparkling eyes
devouring page after page of dull
as-ditchwater plans and specifica-
tons.
"1 am afraid this is only a tenn
porary job she said Friday. I wish
it could be permanent, for am in
love with Denver
Chip Off Block
IF there is-and there SENS to be
any truth in the like father, like
daughter dictum, it may be well to
assume that Reba Doughton is "a
chip off the old block" From Wash
ington, D. c., and Laurel Springs,
N. c., come rumors that she is the
power behind the Doughton success
and knows almost as much as her
distinguished father about the af-
fairs of government, its ways and

Minnesota's 100 state highway
patrolmen are deserving automo-
biles for motorcycles this week
and by May l the entire force will
be mounted on the two-wheeled
machines, according to John p.
Arnoldy, patrol chief. While no
particular "drive" is planned, the
patrol has been ordered to enfor-
&c every traffic law and will not
tolerate drunken or reckless driv-
ing or excessive speed. Use Of
motorcycles began in the southern
part of the state and more than 80
men will be mounted before May
l.
Ninety-one drunken and care
less motor vehicle drivers were
jailed by the patrol in March,
bringing the total for the first
three months of 1887 to 233. Six
teen of the defendants were turn
ed over to district court and the
others tried in municipal and JUS
tice courts. Convictions resulted

Boys Read RED
Literature, Then

Window Three youths, who
had read considerable on commu-
nism and socialism, were picked
up in Window recently for break
ing into the Boy Scout cabin near
here.
Questioned by officials, the
youths stated that they had secur-
ed books from the Window Ii
brary and had read extensively
on different forms of government,
socialism, communism and other
isms and had justified their acts
by some new order of things that
they thought would be an i'm
provement on the present order,
The boys have more than or
binary intelligence and authorit-
les felt that if given another
chance they would go straight.
The boy were placed under a pro-
baton committee and will be re-
quired during the next three
months to earn the value of the
property taken and destroyed.
