J. Cocke this Jm.lf a bit of sotij and crumpled paper which he stated that he had found in his son's trunk. The old negro's name was Smith, and his son Turner." in whose trunk th) scrap of paper was resurrected, haa been killed In a boiler explosion abous two months ago. The acciden occurred near Mt. Juliet in East Tennessee.

Turner was a railroad laborer ana made his home in Asheville. He wan married and had a little daughter six years old. Upon examination of the bit of paper which the old negro gave'to Mr. Cocke it was found' to be an accident-insurance policy for $1000 in the Traveller's Insurance company, payable to the six years old girl. The policy was dated August 22 and was good for only three month's time.

It was during the same month In which the policy was to have expired that the holder thereof met his death. Mr. Cocke was employed as counsel and has written the insurance company for a settlement. HENDERSONVILLE Hendersonvllle, Dec. 30.

Up Patton avenue they shuffled, I around the Square twice, and back down the avenue and the doors from out which they had come swallowed them up. Their costumes were fearfully and wonderfully made In various styles.

Each ghost bore a torch a sulphur torch. The parade was a success, both from the standpoint of novelty and of inter est and was greatly enjoyed by spectators and ghosts.

Uy a visii. from Arthur Li. liabcox oi Cleveland, interest in-, tree planting has been freshly stirred. While the project which was put forward In the fall had not been given up oy the Board of Trade, matttis weie at a standstill.

At a meeting helu yesterday afternoon lo confer with Mr. Babcox. a landscape garaner. wno has been In the city for the past day or two. Interest in the measure was shown, and active steps toward beautifying the city with trees will be taken.

Mr. Babcox has offered to give tht city three tnousand Carolina poplars, from 10 to 12 feet high, if the townspeople will pay for digging, pruning and freight, and suggests that the Board of Trade take the matter in hand, order the trees and charge each landholder of Ashevllle the actuai cost. The cost would be very slight about 10 cents per tree. The trees are at Mr. Babcox's nursey subject to au order irjginvthe Board of Tiade and can be planted at any time.

You are fortunate here." said Mr. Babcox to The Citizen; "you can plant when you will. These trees are sturdy young things, straight and slim, ana good growers. Whenever the people are ready for them they are ready, there won't be an 'off' tree In the lot, and they will grow rapidly In your climate." Mr. Babcox expects to establish a branch office in Asheville and his son, George Babcox, will be in charge.

The younger Mr. Babcox came here with his father, and as soon as suitable quarters can be secured, will open the office. Mr. Babcox has the reputation of being an excellent landscape gardner. He was selected from all the members of his profession in the United States to beautify the Garfield monument grounds in Cleveland, and that work was so well done as to win for him wide renown.

Mr. Babcox left today for Chicago. He expects to return to Asheville Inside of four weeks. The Board of Trade has not yet taken any action in the matter, but expects to do so in a short time. MONTH'S COLLECTIONS Following are the collections of the Fifth revenue district for December 1901.

Jan. lProf John professor of 'oriental Andrews prdversity, ts dead, i i Emma Buralars Chanae From Jocular Spirit and Negroes Pray Ben Foster, Dudley Johnson, Russ Gates and Harry Mills, the four con demned burglars, who are silently awaiting their fate behind the prison's bars will perhaps live but a few short weeks during the new year. It is ex nected that within a week's time the death certificate will be issued and that the condemned criminals will pay the penalty of their crime within short time afterward, not sooner than 30 days, as provided by the law.

The prisoners are accepting the situation quite differently within the past few days. Instead of a rather indifferent and jocular mood which they have hitherto assumed they are dependent and have become rather morose and somewhat churlish. The two negroes pray almost unceasingly. Governor Ay cock is waiting betore taking action for the certified copy of the Supreme court's decision In the case, which will be handed down Monday, as provided by section 48 of the laws of the Supreme court which provides: "Thst the clerk shall on the first Monday in such month, transmit, by some safe hand, or by mail, to the clerks of the Superior courts, certificates of the decisions of the Supreme court, which shall have been on file 10 days. In cases sent from said court." It is also further provided, section 3, chapter 192, of the State laws of North Carolina, thst "in all cases of a sentence for a capital felony the clerk of the Supreme court, at the same time that the decision of the Supreme court is certified, down to the Superior court, shall send a duplicate thereof to the governor, who shall immediately issue his warrant under the great seal of the state to the sheriff of the county in which the appellant was sentenced, directing him to exe cut the death penalty on a day specified in said warrant, not less than 30 days from the date of said warrant; but this shall not deprive the governor to pardon or reprieve the defendant or to commute the sentence." "It seems, as to whether the execution shall take place privately," said Sheriff Lee to a Citizen reporter this morning, "is discretionary with the Board of County Commissioners.

The law provides that the execution must be private unless otherwise ordered by the County Commissioners. While there seems to be more or less a general sentiment for a public execution. It is not thought that the Board of County Commissioners will offer any interference and that the men will be privately hanged. SOME REVISION IN ATHLETIC RULES A complete revision of the constitution of the S. I.

A. A. will begin shortly after the opening of this year. The recent convention in Chapel Hill, authorized a revision, naming Dr. Dudley as chairman of the committee to do the work with the power Appoint- Ing two other rn7lbers on the cora.

mltte. rr. Dudley appointed Vice Chancellor B. L. Wiggins of the Uni versity of the South, Sewannee, and Dr.

Charles Baskervill of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The committee will begin work early this year, and as most of the amendments must be agreed upon by correspondence, the revision will begin none too early, as a printed copy of the constitution must be in the hands of every member of the S. I. A. A.

three months before the next annual meeting. The resolutions providing- for the revision was introduced by Mr. Wiggins and suggested that any amendment favored by any member of the association be set out in writing and forwarded to the committee for consideration. This wn? agreed upon as one of the most thorough methods wrich could be employed in the revision of the constitution. It will be equivalent to having the best ideas of the entire association combined into one harmonious whole.

The 'work will be tedious, as much manuscript will have to be carefully read and weighed by the members of the committee. Several insufficient amendments were made at the last annual meeting, and while they strengthened the position of of the association, they did not go to the spot. When the old costitution. amended for 1902 appears, it will be encumbered with various foot-notes which will be somewhat confusing to those who have not kept trace of the laws as they grew. A decided improvement in it.

however, will be the publication as precedent of every case which as been adjudicated by the executive committee. This will clear much of the obscurity which the various Interpretations of the laws have given rise to, and will be a line upon almost any case which can come up in regard to the one-year law, which has been the most difficult requirement for the various colleges to live up to. The status of a player whose eligibility Is in question will also be more clearly set forth, but still an entirely new constitution Is an Imperative need to the stability of the association, and the new document will doubtless be a code of laws covering Southern athletics in a way which none can question. The men who will draft the constitution know the needs of athletics In the South and are peculiarly adapted to the work In hand. Each one has made a long and careful study of the situation as a whole, as well as the various rulings of the association.

Dr. Dudley's position is well known, and he Is probably better Informed on all questions than any man in the South. Chancellor Wiggins is in full sympathy with the end and aims of the association, and Is an ardent advocate of the one-year clause. He also favors a strict interpretation of amateur standing, and is down on summer baseball for collegians, which Is, in his opinion, the most fruitful source of professionalism. Dr.

Baskerville has been identified with Southern athletics for years, and Is In thorough sympathy with the purposes of the other committeemen. SCHEDULES RESUMED Montgomery. Jan. 1. Schedules on all railroads entering Montgomery were resumed this morning excepting on the Atlanta and West Point.
