We published yesterday notice of a
mass meeting" to be held in AshfevSJle
Feburary 6 for the purpose of consider
ing legislation for: Buncombe county,
especially roaid and school laws. It "Is'
to be hoped that there will be a large
attendance ait thfe meetting, and that
every t section of the county willr be
represented. The matters to be dis
cussed are of great importance and
there should be a full 'and free expres
sion of opinion of the people of the
county upon them. The present mode
of conducting and managing the public
schools of Buncombe has given rise to
some dissentions, publdc, political and
even personal. It ds to be hoped that
any legislation along- this line will be
; such as to allay the dissatisfaction hat
now exists. A proper road ilaw is, and
ever has been a perplexing question
and 5s one of vital importance to this
county. Any recommendations to the
legislature on thia subject should only
be made after careful and thoughtful
.deliberation.

PEHUID'S MANLY ACT.
called ln toy District Attorney Holton
as assistant' iru the trial of s the accused
officials, said to a. Gazette representa
tive yesterday, while declining to con
firm or deny, any reports regarding
Mr. Pen-land 'ef confession or to discuss
it in any way: "You nmy state very
positively that no inducements or
promises of immunity have been made
to Mr. Penlam'd by the prosecution in
return for a confeseion from 'him.
Whatever 'be does in this direction is
entirely voluntary on his part. In a
man placed in the position of Mr. Pen-
land confession is a rig'ht and manly
act, the only course open to und the
wrong be hasdohe."
Mr. Holton- and Mr. E. P. Maxey,
the government expert bank examiner
who wjorkeft up the evidence on which
the mdicttrnente were found and on
which the prosecution relies for their
case at the coming1 trial next month,
also made similar statements, denying
that any inducements had been of
fered to Mr. Penland or that the case
against him would be affecited by his
voluntary oonfeeteiom.
'What 4s the nature of Mr. Penland's
'confession" and what is its import
ance? Answering th last half vt the
question first the prosecution will claim
tba-t it its' of little practical value in de
velop-ing- their5 case. The charges
against the bank officials is that they
overdrew their accounts wjth the bank
the amount 6f their overdrafts being
in reality over1 $250,000. 'There are also
separate indictments for "embezzle
ment" and, against Mr. ' Penland, of
making fateie reports to the comptroller
of the currency. But- the main charge
is of the overdrawn accounts, the em
bezzlement being by their unique sys
tem of overdrafts, and the false reports
to conceal them. The defense of
Messrs. Breese and Dickei'son will te
that they but technfically violated the
national banking" flaw, and on the
books of the bank these reat over
drafts dd not appear. Where money
was drawn out there is ''paper' diS;
counted by the 'bank to fiir tip tie gap.
This paper i& the worthless notes about
which so Thuoh 'has'been' said, -To pro
cure the evidence of the system by
which the bank was looted, and .who
did it, the government ent Mr. Moxey
to AshevMe.'-and his investigations ex
tended over several weeks before the
indictments were found, and he 'has
been in Ashevllile for an additional
several weeks perfectingr his investiga
tions for the trial. The evidence rests
chiefly on the checks on which the
money was drawn out and the bogus
notes which replaced the money and
balanced the accounts of the bank.
The defense will aver, that these .notes
were supposed t-o-'bb good collateral.
Mr. Penland ;oii!f esoes that he kmew
they were not. The information that
is. not yet forthcoming-, that puzzles
even the prosecution and that Mr. Pen
land .can1 throw (little lig-ht on is:
Where did that Vast sum of more than
a quarter of a million dollars go? The
distributlioin of but a small' part of it
can be traced, in business vetures that
turned out badly, tin real estate in
vestments and fan the living expenses
of. the men to whom at went. . .None of
it remained in the bank or returned to
fit. The receivership has found ' only
bushels of wortJhlesai notes to represent
wihat was once a great fortune the
small fortunes of very many people.
The. processes which withdrew, lall'thig
