Besides, the impression had I500v prevailed that the afternoon inB would be devoted to routine Muefs, and homefolk had expected to ir the lecture and speeches at night. the evening Mr. Collins' words were lendldly vindicated, when aim. ousand persons,thoroughly representee of the commercial and social life f the city, attended. All were tardy by several ininu ie opening session. There had been the drive to Biltmore, and the general disinclination to leave the soft, zephyr- stirred atmosphere outside perhaps accounted in part for the "sparsely settled Auditorium." When President Rutherford P. Hayes, son of the nation's late chief executive of that name, called the convention to order, there FOR RENT—FURNISHED 12 room house. 550 he assured his hearers that: every mem ation would be seen by him personally, and would be urged to stand by the bill. Those who in Washington last winter and observed the progress of the bill reel confident that Mr. Whatley will find a responsive friend to the movement in the senior senator from that State. They remember that when the bill was taken up for final passage it was made a shuttlecock by senators who were endeavoring to defeat the Quay territorial resolution, and that Senator Bailey criticised senators generally for their dilatory tactics. At this juncture Senator Bacon arose and said: "But if the Senator from Texas will allow me, 1 think I will agree that the friends of this park measure are in no wise responsible." Interest was pronounced during the the credentials of the delegates and there was an elivening outburst of applause when the names of a number of ladies were called; Secretary W. V.

He brought M. I). Bong, a gentleman who occupied a front seat, into requisition to illustrate the danger of allowing the mountains to become a barren waste. Mr. Pickens said one could slowly pour a half cup of water on Mr. Long's head, just as it was, and the would run off. as it would run off a (link's back, but if Mr. Bong had a good, thick handkerchief on his head the water would be absorbed and remain there. There was a shout of laughter, reinforced by applause, as Mr. Long's head is as innocent of hair as the proverbial billiard ball. The victim of the illustration joined in the laughter and observed that "it was not my fault." As before staled a splendid audience attended the evening session, the chief features of which were the stereopticon lecture by- Prof. Holmes and the address by It. W. Austin.

Moore T5he OUTFITTER. 'We do Merchant Tailoring" The convention was called to order promptly at 3 o'clock by President Rutherford P. Hayes: Although a large number of the delegates were late in arriving- and did not get in until about 4 o'clock no time was lost in getting down to business. "The convention." announced President Hayes, "has much business before it and it is therefore not advisable to delay the session beyond the appointed hour. The program was then taken up in the following order: Flection of a chairman and a secretary. Report by Dr. ('. V. Ambler, secretary of the association. Financial report by J. A. Nichols, chairman of the ways and means committee. Address by Hon. Joshua W. Caldwell if Tennessee. Address by Prof. J. A. Holmes. 1 ieneral discussion. Report of the committee on resolutions. Col. B. it. Strong of Knoxville was In nomination for chairman by J. ... Xichols. There were no further nominations and Col. Strong was unanimously elected. For secretary President Hayes placed in nomination E. T. Whatley of Georgia. Mr. Whatley had no opposition anal he was also unanimously elected. Col. Strong thanked the convention for his nomination and taking the stand announced that the convention would proceed with business. Secretary Whatley in a five minutes a also thanked the convention for his nomination and spoke of the Importance of the great Appalachian movement under consideration. He pledged his efforts to make a personal appeal to the representatives of his state for the park bill. A number of credentials were sent forward to the secretary, which wer»- recorded and approved. Secretary Am^ bier's report then followed. Dr. Ambler was greeted with an outburst of applause and his remarks throughout were received with much applause. The financial report made by chairman J. A. Nichols showed that $2638.45 had b ted since the organiza tion of the association, all of which had practically been spent in printing, buying literature, etc: that none of the of- s of the association had received a salary for their work. Mr. Nichols sta- that about-$500 or $600 was necessary to carry on the work of the asso- ciation and urged all those present who were not members of the association to have their names enrolled for membership. His request brought a ready res- and quite a number of new mem- hers were added to the list. Among the members of the finance committee who passed through the audience with subscription books to re- subscriptions were Messrs. B. 11. Jones. II. A. Miller and F. M. Weaver. The address of Hon. Joshua W. Caldwell of Tennessee, a masterly effort fn behalf of the proposed forest reserve, which is published elsewhere in today's Citizen, followed. In opening his address Mr. Caldwell spoke of the beauties of Asheville and Asheville's magnificent Auditorium. "Verily no more beautiful spot in the country may be found." he said. From the time Mr. Caldwell began his address until he took his seat he received a continuous round of applause. Prof. .1. A. Holmes followed with a three-minutes talk. Prof. Holmes was also warmly applauded. He stated that as he would speak again at the evening session he would reserve his talk until that time. He urged the importance of immediate legislation in the park movement. "It is a national is- iie declared, "and nothing now is e importance to the people of tne lorn states." Preceding the short general discussion which followed, a committee on resolu- lutions and memorials was elected. The election of this committee, on motion of Mr. .1. A. Nichols, was left to the chairman. Chairman Strong named the committee as follows: W. B. Beckett, Tennessee, chairman: K. P. Hayes, .North Carolina: H. C. Keeles, 1'har- This committee was instructed to their report in the evening ■ion. V i motion or i >i .-. p \e.ni.r speeches in the general discussion limited to five minutes. Among the speakers were Messrs. S. V, A LARGE INCREASE IN OUTPUT TODAY General Resumption of Worx is Taking Place in the Coal Regions Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Oct. 27—There are more mines in operation in the anthracite region than at any time since May 12 last, when the strike began. The Lehigh Valley region continues to be a barren spot. The employes of Pardee and comparand Coxe brothers and company are still idle. The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company started up their collieries in the Lehigh region today. Ninety-five per cent of the mines in the Wyoming and Lackawanna region are now in operation. There will be a large increase in the output today. The output at the collieries of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company and Delaware and Hudson company will be especially heavy. In some mines there are many difficulties to be overcome. Falls are of frequent occurrences and this retards mining. SHOPS RESUME FULL TIME. Pottsville, Pa„ Oct. 27.—The repair shops of Philadelphia and Reading Railway and coal companies, which have been operating one-half time since the beginning of nie coal strike, today resumed full time. Fully one thousand hands were suspended owing to the strike; more than 800 of these today returned to work. WEST VIRGINIA MINES START UP. Montgomery, W. Va., Oct. 27.—Every coal operator of the Kanawha mines resumed work this morning in full force. Indications are now probable for an early resumption in the New River district, where the men are out on local differences. PARTIES TO CONTROVERSY READ Washington, Oct. 27.—With one or two exceptions the parties to the anthracite coal controversy have arrived in the city, to attend the conference with the President's commission. The members of the commission are all in the city. Notwithstanding the number of details to be arranged the members of the commission are hopeful that they will be able to complete the perliminary arrangement at one sitting. As far as the miners and operators have expressed themselves, they have indicated a willingness to subordinate their desires in the matter of the time and place of the hearing to the wishes of the commission. It is a general under standing that practically all the meetings for taking testimony will be held In the anthracite regions. The commission will get to work dur- ig the present week. John Mitchell, who reached Washington this morning, will press for a very general inquiry, while it is understood the operators will seek to restrict inquiry. COMMISSION MEETS. Washington, Oct. 27.—The anthracite coal strike commission met at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the hearing room of the interstate commerce commission. All members of the committee were present. Mr. Mitchell, president of the Mine Workers, and District President Fahey appeared for the miners. The coal ear- roads were represented by Presi- Haer, E. B. Thomas, Alfred Waller, \V. II.

The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. One of the highlights of the group’s activities was convention held on October 25, 1902. Two weeks prior to the event, the Asheville Citizen ran an article noting that “A Hundred Towns and Cities Are Asked to Take Part.” Indeed, the convention was a success with 1,500 people from various states attending. This follow up article describes the convention as a “most decided success.”
