TO SENATOR DEPEW.
By Associated Press.
Albany, N. Y. Jan. 2.—The con-test
for the election of a successor to
United States Senator Chauncey De-pew
is expected to be urged with in-creased
activity following the inaugu-ration
of Governor John A. Dix today,
and the organization of both houses
of the legislature at noon Wednes-day.
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam-many
Hall, has conferred informally
with legislators and leaders from ail
parts of the siate. but has given no
intimation as to whom he favors for
the senatorship. Mr. Murphy has also
held two conferences with Governor
Dix since his arrival, but says the
senatorship question was not discuss-ed.
Former Judge Alton B. Parker, who
has been suggested as a compromise
candidate, is in Albany and has con-ferred
with Governor Dix.
Seymour Van 'T'anyord. of Troy, al-so
has been mentioned as a compro-mise
candidate.

pending between Mr. C. A. Dixon, of
"Myers' Park, and Mr. George Stephens,
for Mr. Dixon's home place at Myers'

an option on the place. The figures
could not be learned. Mr. Stephens'
object in buying the Dixon place, if

property in that section of the city.
Mr. Dixon and Mr. Stephens are to
meet this evening to further discuss
and possibly effect a trade.

William Morris Kincaid. D. D.. pas-tor
of the First Presbyterian church,
of this city, died at 10 o'clock this
morning.
Not in surprise but. in deep sorrow
the city heard of Dr. Kincaid's passing.
For days the shadow of death had
hovered over the manse. The people
whom Dr. Kincaid served, and who
loved him with tender devotion, had
lived in the gloom of a dread expec-tancy
for weeks, not knowing at morn
whether the, tie that bound pastor and
people would be severed before even-ing,
or fearing at. "sunset and evening
star" that the night would bear htm
hence. The New Year found him lin-gering
between life and death. Death
had set a seal on the old year but a
little over a day, when it beckoned
the loved pastor of the First church.
After a brave fight against disease, he
passed, falling on sleep gently and
quietly.
There were with him at the moment
of dissolution his immediate family

Asheville. Jan. 2.—The big plant of
the Whiting Lumber Company at
Judson is nearing completion, the
company hoping to have it In com-plete
running order by the middle
of the month. The plant Includes a
double band saw mill, planing mill
and dry kilns, and will have a capac-ity
when finished of about 100,000
feet of lumber per day.
The plant is a little below Judson.
and a station is now being erected
to be called Whiting which will be
a new town. Already a large board-ing
house has been built, and a
number of smaller houses for the
employes of the company are in
course of erection. In addition there
is a large commissary and office
building very nearly completed.
About four hundred men are em-ployed
on the yards of the com-pany
and in the woods getting out
the timber.for the operations which
are alretd'- among the largest in
this section.
The company is also enlarging its
railroad facilities. A bridge is being
built across Eagle creek below Bush-nell
and the rails are being extend-ed
on the grade of the Carolina
and Tennessee Southern down the
Tennessee river two miles to where
another bridge is being built across
that river. The line will be extended
into Welch cove a number of miles,
where the company has several
large logging camps. Steam loaders
and logging trains will be shortly put
into service for the purpose of bring-ing
timber down to the plant at
Whiting. .
Other Concerns Active.
The activity of the Whiting Com-pany
is only one example of what
others are doing, though none at the
prseent are operating on quite so
large a scale. At the moutn of Eagle
creek the Montvale Lumber Com-pany
has a plant employing about
120 men and turning out about 25,-
000 feet of lumber per day. This
company operates about eight miles
of narrow gnage railroad Up Eagle
creek. The plant is situated at the
little town of Fontnna which has a
modern hotel.
On Hazel creek Is the plant of the
W. M. Ritter' Lumber Company
which is turning out some lOO.Oik'
feet a day and employing aobut 250
men. This company operates about
sixteen miles of ailroad up Eagle
creek. The town of Proctor, where
thep lant is situated, has many mod-ern
conveniences, such as a fine wa-ter
system and electric lights.
