Another man has been arrested
for the Llppard murder and the
father of two already convicted
was caught transporting liquor.
1t is hardly safe, in these days,
for one community to call atten.
ton to the sins of another, for
wickedness does 50 abound in all
that the kettle can't throw up
black to the pot" But taking
the risk we are moved to remark
that the evidence in the Lippard
case revealed a state of moral de.
pravity in the section where the
murder was committed that was
a little more rank than one sus-
pected existed in this part of the
country. Evidently a consid dera.
ole bunch of folks, of both sexes.
in that locality, spend about all
their time in transporting and
dealing in and drinking blockade
liquor, and gambling and other
forms of law violation, immorali
'y and other forms Of indecency,

Those who read the testimony in
the Lippard case doubtless felt
that justice would be done if a
number OF the witnesses, on their
own confession, had been sent to
the penlientiary along with the
principals.
But those on whom the tower
at Sloan fell were not the only
sinners. y her communities
may not be quite as bad but there
are a plenty with records thai

that Asheville and all her fine
surroundings has added to the
commonwealth. This new enter.
prise should be financed in t h e
same way as the Western rail.
road by State bonds. Aside
from all this, there are many
other reasons for developing this
county. Here is the Cone estate,
next to Vanderbilt's, the most
beautiful in the country; it was
developed in days of yore, with
labor at fifty cents per day, at a
cost of one half million dollars,
now richly worth two millions.
This estate will be turned over to
the State of North Carolina for a
hospital or sanatorium.
Here is the Grandfather Ma.
tional Park, one of the finest the
country has. Boone was once the
highestcourt house in the state
but Newland, in the new county
of Avery, now claims the distinc.
tion. Watauga is the highestcoun.
ty in the State and the highest
east of the Rockies. The Yadkin
river rises in the eastern slope;
the Catawba in the south; the
Watauga in the west, while New
river runs through Ashe and Vir
ginia, north, into the Ohio. Here,
then, is the summit of the Appa,
lachian mountains, Blowing Rock
is the highest town, 1000 feet a.
bove sea level. Here is the green,
est grass, the coolest water, the
bluest sky in all of Gods crea-
ton. The weary.worn and tired
come here to seek rest and find
it; the broken in health to renew
their strength, and the pleasure.
seeker to spend the summer
months. The college professor
comes here to rest and to think,
being the land for the botanist,
geologist or mine. The lamented
Chas. D, McIver once said in
Boone that one could do twice as
much intellectual work here in
summer as in Greensboro. Last
year a Tulane professor said that
Blowing Rock was the finest
place in all the world for a great
university place where men
can think; where the Randalls
and Dangerfelds, the worlds
celebrated artists have their
homes.
Moses H. Cone, beloved and de
ceased. said he travelled through
! Germ any, France, Italy ant
Switzerland, but had never seer
! a more beautiful picture than thu
one he saw while standing upor
the Blowing Rock, looking ovel
: the bosom of the great State
scene the like of which is no

-, panorama after another! No pei
