SUNSET DlRIVE:,
Too Pretty TO be Cut up with
Wood wagons.

One of the happicSt conceptions that
ever entered what may be called a prac-
tically romantic brain was that which
suggested to DR.. A. T0omcr Porter the
idea of making the steep, unapproacha-
bic sides of Town and Smiths mountain
the track of a road or avenue for pleas
urc purposes. DR.. Porter pursued the
idea with his usual drcctncSs and cnthu-
| SIaSm, enlisted other gentlemen in the
plan, and the result was the creation of
a fund of several hundred dollars, bv
which the attractive and well known
Sunset drive was opened. 1t has certain
charms its own. 1t cingS to the side
Of the mountain for probably three miles,
half way between the base and the sum
nit, half hidden in the woods, but at
every turn exposing most extensive and
magnificent prospects. Owing to the
skiltul grading and iudicious engineering,
the course of the road is almost horizon
tai, the ascent, after attaining the gen
cral level being almost jnapprcciabIc.
The road at once became Il tavOritc drive
Tor citizens and strangers. But another
result followed perhaps not sanguinclv
contemplated Many fine building sites
were exposed which were hardly believed
to exist; and already some ur the most
beautiful residences around AShcvilc
adding vastly to the charm of the land
Scapc, attest the taste and Judgment Of
those who occupy them. The road, as
we have SAID, was Il private enterprise
built altogether by private means, for
purposes Of recreation and pleasure in
which the public were freely invited to
share. But only to the extent of such
pleasure and recreation, unless the pub
lie assume its share of the burden and
cost of keeping the road in good repair,
as a public road or as a street, in what
ever character it is viewed by the author
tiles. But we submit hat it is grossly
unjust to the project ors of this enterprise
by suhiccting them to the defeat Of their
purpose by the use Of that, to certain cx-
tent, private enterprise to the ruin OF
the road by its use as a common wood
road, travcrScd daily by heavy loaded
wagons, by which the road is cut up be
yond all possibility Of smoothncss. III
the road is declared public highway,
then the authorities are bound to keep it
in repair if not, private rights
ought to he respected consistent with
the liberties accorded to citizens and Wis
itors for tn, full enjoyment of that which
was brought into existence as pleas
ure drive, not a public highway.

A Deserved Compliment.

The Christian Advocate, of August $,
pays the following mcritcd compliment
to the new president Of the Ashcvilc
Female College, and his most cstimablc
and excellent wife:
North Carolina has gained much in her
educational work by the going of Rev.
$. \. Barker and his wife from Willis,
Texas to Ashcvillc. They are born teach
crs and managers. When they can begin
al the ground and build such a college as
they have at Willis, no people need fear
as to their success. When any State
loses such holy, conSccratcd persons as
these it is no small loss, especially when
their labor is i'll the department of cduca-
tion. They leave host of friends who
will look anNiously for the day to come
for them to return to Texas. Plenty of
room for such workers aS they are out
here. They have standing welcome
back at many points.

weather, acting secretary of the State
board of health returned yesterday from
Warsaw, where he has been investigating
the report Of epidemic dysentery there.
He said: at is not asserious as reported.
The case is partly due to a contamina-
tion of the water supply, resulting from
heavy rainfall. During June and July
they had 1907 inches of rain in some pre-
cincts; last year there were only 2.14
inches. The number of deaths this year
was thirty-eight. OF that number nine
teen have died from dyscntcry since the
epidemic broke out July 10. -Four physi
clans of Warsaw gave me the figures for
the last three weeks, showing 22O cases
treated. Thrcc-fourths Of these patients
are under twenty years of age, and half
of them are under five years Of age. My
recommendation was that there should
be thorough disincction i'll Il house to
