D. Blanton No. 3Q Patton Avenue. Get Your BOILERS Ready for Cold None of the gaieties at the Oaks has given more- pleasure than the affair last evening. A varied and entertaining program was carried out perfectly by the artists.

A cake walk by the porters and waiters of the hotel, to- gether with their friends, was the fea ture of the first part of the evening. Much amusement was afforded by the artistic and omic steps introduced by the dusky race. The tirst prixe. $2, was received by the Kid and his partner. The cake was awarded to James Thompson and Nettie Burgin.

At the conclusion of the cake walk the large audience went to the parlors, where they were highly entertained with varied performances. First appeared the talented little Marguerita Stults in the dance "Spanish Bolero." displaying the most fantastic steps. In response to the first encore she gave the French comic dance, which received showers of applause, calling for still another. She gave the Jig "Dixie."

mui wan ss as the breath of his nostrils; and hard work is apparently almoet as distaste ful to him as the sight of a prosperous, happy man. It may be that the life imprisonment at hard labor of the Chi cago anarchists would as effectively have broken the spirit of the Reds as did the hanging of the four leaders; certainly those who suffered a comparatively short term, of imprisonment were done with anarchy when pardoned. If the Italian who stabbed the Empress of Austria goes into jail, never to ttr heard of more, and works 10 or II hours daily at hard manual labor, the sentence will have a lasting effect, not only on him. but as a deterrent on others of his kind who may contemplate a similar atrocity.

To the Editor: My attention has been attract to lengthy and labored articles in the Progressive Farmer and the- Caii. asian, alleging that as president, of the board of trustees of the 'North Carolina institution for the education of the dumb and blind, appointed the colored politician, James 11.

The Second 'a Furlougha Data Net Yet Kaoww Bays Have Ne Money to Go Home On Political Notea of State-Wide Interest. RALEIGH, N. Sept.

17. Colonel Burgwyn has written General Penning ton, at Atlanta, asking that a court of inquiry be ordered to examine into the grave charges against Chief Sur geon Stockard, these being that he is absent without leave and Inattentive to duty. It is alleged that there will be a charge of incompetence. There is much satisfaction in the regiment that this action is to be taken in the mat ter. It is said that since Chief Surgeon Stockard returned here he has not been to camp.

He alone has the au thority to supply medicines, to make purchases and to furnish the delicacies which the government allows each sick soldier at the rate of 60 cents per aay. Yesterday evening at Camp Sahtpp Basle" Lieut. Justice of the Ruther ford company notified Col. Burgwyn that there was a man of his company sick in uuariers. with a high fever.

that no hospital and no chief sureeon in camp and no medicine, the Colonel at once asked where the chief surgeon was and said he would himself buy tke medicine. Today the Y. M. C. A.

tent was fitted up as a hospital r.nd 25 cots bought and placed in it. It was learned that there were li sick men: none seriously, but all mainly with malarial troubles. There are also complaints as to Stockard at St. Simon's Island. Both officers and men make these complaints Some of the men are saying that while the government allots them abundance of god food and coffee, they get only a scant supply of the former and that the coffee is hardiy more than colored water.

They want to know what becomes of the supplies. Men of Co. from Greenville, are doing some plain miking now and some of their coffee this morning at the newspaper offices. Colonel Burgwyn telegraphed to Adjutant General Cowles today saying that, as many of the men of the Second regiment had no money to pay heir way home with, when fsrloughed, he wanted to know yhether some mon-, would not be advanced to them and deducted from September's pay. Gen.

replied that if it was desired, the regiment would be mustered out immediately. The matter was thtn dropped. There is no positive news as to when the furloughs will be dated, yet it is iisserted by some officers that September 20 will be the date. The furloughs will be verbal. The soldiers will turn in all the government property, and when they return here late in October, to be mustered out.

will be fed by contract. It is said Quartermaster Davis will have much trouble in winding up his department owing to lack of receits. First Lieutenant Jenkins of the Tar-boro company of the Second regiment is promoted to be its captain, vice Carl Jeffries, resigned; John Howard is promoted to be first lieutenant, and First Sergeant Peattie becomes seVond lieutenant. This is the first time the Governor has. in filling vacancies, followed the regular and proper custom as to promotions.

The western companies of the regiment are arranging to secure a special train to take tiiem to Asheville and Murphy when they are furloughed. The provost guard of the Second regiment kept the drunk and disorderly men in bonds Tharsday night. The camp was strongly guarded and the -entries were given ball cartridges and told to use them if necessary. Some soldiers tried to run the guard and were shot at. It is said one succeeded getting out of the lines.

John C. Drewry, so well known as rand secretary of the Grand Lo'Ik of Masons, is appointed by President S. Cunningham chief marshal at the State fair. He accepts. A big cotton crop in this section appears to be assured.

MORG ANTON, Sept. 14.The board of directors of -the State hospital met at the institution today in quarterly session, present: President Sawyer and Directors Hall, Harper, White, Whitener, Love, Mills and Caldwell. The report of the superintendent showed the present number of inmates to be 766. It further stated that during June and July there had been 14 cases of fever in the institution, and that a committee of the State board of health Dr. R.

H. Lewis and Dr. George G. Thomas had, upon invitation, visited the place and, after a careful investigation, found, in its opinion, that the fever had originated from milk infection, one of the milkmen having had a case of walking fever for some days before the fact was discovered. This tommittee made a highly favorable report upon the general condition of the hospital.

The expenditures for the quarter were $1000 in excess of the appropriation for the same period. A special committee was appointed to prepare a paper bringing before the people the urgent need for more room if more pawents are to.De reeeivea.

Dr. Harrison was born near Asheville February 22, 1828 was the son of Nathaniel and Sarah Smith Harrison, and graduated In medicine at Charleston, S. C. He was married to Miss Mary Louisa Tomb: inson at Carrollton, December 26, 1854. For 40 years he had lived at Greenville.

During the Civil war he served as surgeon in the Twenty-sixth Alabama regjment. The Advocate says: "He was a good, conscientious man, and there are many who will remember his kindness to them. He did much gratuitous practice among the poor, doing it as cheerfully and con scientiously as for a wealthy WAS AT SAN JUAN HILL. Chi tries A. Campbell Home on a 60- Day Furlough.

A Joke. It is evident painfully evident from the comments of the Republican press as well as of individual Republicans in private conversation that they regard the effort Thk Citizen and oth-r Democratic papers have made" to acquaint Western North Carolinians with the political situation in the east as something in the nature of a Joke. Their attitude appears.to be that the voters in this part of the State cannot bi- made to believe that the situation East is as bad as it has been portrayed, or else that the Wiiiti-in Toler -safe from the for 'the present dot not care if it is. The more ilecetu ushed, will either declare that he will not vote to continue in power the pjrty that places the white man beneath the negro anywhere, or else tries to ease his conscience by declaring that Democrats have put negroes Into office before now. The tirst stand is satisfactory, but the last depends on the assertions of Republican newspapers and is frequently founded in falsehood, it has happened, indewd, that Democrats have placed one or two negroes in the public service here and there, but.

seldom if ever where they could often. -sive to whin- men and and never in such jiurnbns that they controlled the. affairs of a city and were in -practical control of whole counties. But in lhta attitude of the i 1-ing ring of -Republicans In NorJi Carolina that Of real or assumed indifference to hat is bought o-l" the situation in the eastern counties we may doted a grave threat, as well as a grtuh-T danger than yet confronts us. It maans that as the predominance, oi." the Megro widens in the area over which it is exerted its it certainly will der Republican, rule tke olio and only care of the indifferent Republican is that shall not touch him or his.

it may grind the white Democrat tg the liajl. ruin him materially, subject his wile and daughters to daily insults, result in eminent by criminals, an yet it is a matter to wave olf with laugh. Note how completely Gov. attitude proves this view, lie is a ident-of Wilmington, when at home and a property holder thero.

Never in the world: We know this bi'i'ause negroes control lse- here, and have, by the trace of-fu sion, a ree i ein.

It is a delicious A Criminal Monopoly. The Washington Times reiterates the charge and it is a very serious one that the Urns Island railroad had and has a monopoly on transportation to I'amp WikotT at Moiuauk Point- Acting War Ieiklojohn published a clause in the government's contract with the radroad. showing that the road has a monopoly, "except that the eriiiiH'tit transport may discharge and load troops and supplies at the dot at Moittuuk Point. The Times replies to this that the ef-fit to give th railroad all the business was l.i lame for a great deal of the sutToiiHg at the camp "'and that thc railroad nt-ver was allowed front the compet it ion of the to sutler goveru- mom's transports." Tli Times dds: "The railroad was swamped with its single tiaok and crude facilities. and loncmg eyes were turned by the sol-du rs Unn a half ilotrn tJTe transports lmg oil the camp.

Modioal supplies were lumber for hospitals was netiei. was needed, tents were lieed'M. water pipes were needed, and the railroad could not uply them. "Finally. a 'desperate Jknove was made to have a transport or two run down to New York and ovr to New to bring goods which were rotting and rusting there.

The move was never carried out beyond a special dispatch, from Montauk I'oint to the War lVpartment. The mutinous desires were gagged, and in the course of six "days the railroad managed to land enough to cover the immediate wants." Here is definite assertion of criminal monopoly by governmental consent that, should be investigated at once. A contemporary suggests that the murderer of the Empress of Austria ought to be hanged; tkat the penalty for -murder in the Switzerland canton life imprisonment is altogether too light. Put if we may Judge anarchists by what they say, we may fairly conclude that the aiurderer of the Empress would prefer hanging to life imprisonment if coupled with airs work GOES OVER FOR ANOTHER WEEK'S CONSIDERATION. Strong Counter Petition Presented, Ashing The Board to Forbid the Sale of Everything Except Med icine on Sunday.

The Sunday closing law was a promt nent topic in the Aidermanic session last evening, being called up by the pre sentatkm by Prof. J. D. Eggleston, of the following petition: "The undersigned, citizens of Asheville, view with alarm and distress the encroachments which are being made in this city upon tke Sabbath as a rest-day. We earnestly petition your hon orable body to carry out the plain in tent of the State and United States laws, and forbid absolutely the sale of anything except medicines, on Sunday, lour petitioners respectruuy urge that your honorable body has no more moral right to permit cigars, candies, soda water, newspapers and other lux uries to be sold on Sun-day than to per mit food and clothing to be sold.

Such permission to one firm will certainly force other firms to open their stores on Sunday to meet the competition. It is a slap at the laboring man, who needs a day of rest; it is demoralizing to young and old alike'; 4t is a vicious innovation which this city cannot af- ford to introduce or continue.

This appeared to strike his fellow members as a little too sweeping. So there wa no second to the motion.
