THE APPLAUSE Of the audience III th,

Inent Of the verdict Of the acquittal oil
Boyle was as indecent as il was incon.
sistcnt. The same audience. perhaps, at
the previous announcement of the yer.
diet of guilty, were equally clamorous in
their approval. The last verdict was
the occasion for solemn reflection rather
than for cxultation. The accused was
found only technically innocent. Morally.
he was as deeply guilt dyed rs il was
possible for mortal man to be. lie left
the court house with the brand Of the
fclon as deeply imprinted upon him as il
the law had found him guilty OF the
hcinous charge for which he had been
tried. lie lett il. so tar rs the plaudits
Of the audience could express It, the IN.
nocent, injured, hut vindicatcd man, an.
other Barabhas, yielded to the clamors
of the approving multitude. A few
months ago the same multitude cried
out that he should be delivered into their
hands to be sunlmarily dealt with; now
they hail him as the liberated martyr
Such is the stability and consistency o'
human purpose.

ANOTHER PROMISING SUB
URB TO THE CITY.
One Hundred and Thirty Acrea ol
Land in EeamOth to be Made
Into Residence Property
"A Bl0 Male.

a syndicate Of gentleman, at whose
head is Mr.. J. d. Bostic, have Just com
pleted the purchase of 1870 acres Of land
in Ramoth, for which they paid $40, 900
The property is that formerly owned by
DR.. and Wilbur Burnett and c. S, Cooper
and is one of the most desirable tracts
around Ashevillc.
The intention OF the purchasers is to
improve il, lay it out in five and ten acre
tracts and sell it to desirable parties for
suburban residences. Two avenues will
be run from the city to the top of Wood.
tin mountain, and at the apex will be-
erected pavilion tor the use Of the resi-.
dents and for dances and picnics. The
dimensions OF the building are not yet
known, but it will be large enough to
accommodate an immense number of
people, and will he fitted and furnished
in the latest plans.
At the foot of the mountain at present
is spring OF pure water, This will bc
forced to the top and received in a basin,
and a fountain in the centre will make il
thing Of beauty. Work will be begun
on the improvements at once. They will
be completed within the next sixty days
and in July IN auction sale OF lots will be
held. Already some Of the more desira-
bic building sites are being spoken for
and one has been sold to a prominent
banker.
The property itself commands one OF
the best views around Asheville aud is
heavily studded with large oak trees.
1t is well adapted in every way for resi-
dent purposes. Lying as it does within
a mile and half OF the city it is within
easy access, aud is Just far enough re-
moved to be of particular value to those
people who wish to live near Ashcyillr
and not in the heart OF the city.
The property will no doubt be named
North Asheville Park. North Ashevillc
has always been the most prominent res
ldcnt portion of the city and this name il
is thought will be appropriate. 1t is the
purpose Of the syndicate, il possible, to
have cars run to the property. The first
sale Of lots will be moderate in price.
Mr.. ]. B. Bostic, who is at the head OF
the scheme, has long been a successful
real estate dealer in Asheville. and his
efforts will be an assurance Of success.
The sale itself is large one, but is
only one Of the many that is showing
just which way the straw is now blow
ing in Asheville.

THE News OBSERVER notes the growth

THE NEws-O OBSERVER notes the growth
of temperance ideas in the South, and
calls attention to the fact that five
eighths of Georgia 10 under prohibition
laws and that thirty-eight counties in
Mississippi have also adopted them,
This is the steady and substantial growth
of sound moral ideas, developing through
patient, healthy influences, and not the
work of inhamed enthusiasm subject to
exhaustion and reaction, aud subsequent
opposition and hostility, And the News.

impression that the Southern people are
given to carousing. This impression is
especially strong in relation to the noun.

manccrs of the sensational school delight

is more untrue nor more unjust than the
application of such rule to the people OF
Western North Carolina. No where OH

for their temperate habits there is deep,
all-wrvading religious sentiment, and
temperance, on such basis. is the almost
universal rule. Outside of Ashcville and
one or two of the other towns, there is
not a licensed bar in all Western North
Carolina. There is not single one to bt
