When the winds blow? cold and the mercury begins its downward journey the provident man or woman at! one commences to provide against the rigors of the autumm amd win er. Some people have an erroneous idea that blankets and quilts are all that is siecessisary in addition to fuel, do. toes an. food to make up the ideal Daome. Now Blair respectfully begs that you will pu off such a strange halucfinatlon and giv. heed to what he is going- to say. Listen: He has during the past few weeks been sending orders for his late fall arid win ter stock, and has made a large importa tion of everything in tlhe furniture line which he wants to 6how you. One o the greatest attractions of Ms presen etock is that the majority of (his design are exclusive with htm. He has forgotten miothing dn his pur chases. Realizing that this is the wed dirag 'season, !he has included substantia and attractive bridal suits. His furniture is in the homes of Tmm dreds of the best people in anidl around AsheviLle, and in no instance h'aa any viiipmhih luera maae. what he has doa m others he can da for you.

Is the American public as fickle as the French? The way Dewey, the hero of yesterday is criticised today would seem to indicate that it is. To those possessed of leisure and a grood horse these haVe been ideal days. The drives around Asheville never were more 'beautiful nor the roads in better order. Tfhe bright tints and ha zy atmosphere of October delight the eye, and the Good Road association have done much to put these delights in easy reach. Nothing can be pret tier than .the White Fawn drive, for instance. The woods are briKiant with the scarlet of sumac and sourwood, the yeHows of maple and the purples -of oak, mingled with a hundred shades of green, from the deepest gloom of the pines to he bright yellow greens f the jhrubs. Wild asters, Michael mas daisies and golden rod still deck the wayside, and through the gaps in the foliage the blue of distant moun tains gleam until, when one has wound Ms way up the gentle ascent to the turn, a panorama, of open country on each side bursts into view. Asheville flies at his feet on one side, with its background of rolling hills and lofty mountains, Kenilwonth's picturesqxie pile rises at the right and Biltmore gleams like a fairy paflace is. the dis tance, while on the other side is spread a beautiful, sheltered valley of farms and nestling farm houses. Rounding the turn, the descent is made through an enchanting landscape, glorified by autumn foliage. On a crisp, sunny morning, such a drive is one to be re membered and to bring joy and appe tite to any one. It, too, is only one of many drives of equal beauty that Asheville offers to her denizens or the sojourner witthin her gates, and no one who has not 'taken these drives ctn claim to know Asheville's charms. houses of the "diviners," or prophets, all buiflt on 'tall pyramids or on high stone terraces. They found a people different from the Aztecs, whose ac quaintance they had. made in Mexieo, and In many respects evidences cf higher culture.- The ruins that ?prca i over ancient Mayapan, or modern Yu catan, reveal a civilization that causes wonder today, as it did three cen turies ago. But the Spaniards, on ac quaintance with the people in ih3se strange white cities, discovered that the nation was' already far advanced in its decline. The Aztec custom of human sacrifice at 'the altars on f'.e; summit of the great pyramids had re placed the milder and humane wor ship of the sun and the birds and the god of the harvests. The vestal virgins no longer lighted the eternal fires in the temples, but were among the vic tims that cast themselves a voluntary sacrifice in the pool at Chitzen-Itza. The people hiaid become savage, out they were a conquered people. Their leaders, priests and scholars were gone. They had lost even their traditions, and none was found to decipher t.e hieroglyphics on the sacred buildings. The Spaniards completed the vanda ism the Aztec conquerors had begun by de stroying the idols and many or ue temples and every book or fragment or writing that they could lay their hands on. With the arrival of '.he Spaniards the lost vestages of the great empire of the Mayas disappeared. The cities were deserted and the land fell into a condition of savagery, and the rank growth of the tropics, as the cen turies crept by, buried cities and roads and wayside shrines. Tall pyramids in all parts of the land from the north ern extreme of the peninsula down into Guatemala rise above the jungle, si lent sentinels over the graves of buried cities The native population is igno rant and in some parts of the peninsu la completely untamed, acknowledging no sovereignty except that of their era chiefs. They loot the sugar planta tions and haciendas of the Spaniards when, they get on a tear, and they, along with the fevers and the malaria and the insects, make most parts of Yucatan an unpleasant place for srang ers. Mexico is proceeding now to dlear out 'the eavages and) subjugate them. The Mayas wilQi fight for their -freedom," ?nd if they can keep it, Yuca tan will continue to be a useless part -iri with no eovernment worth mentioning and no population that nas the ambition, to develop its resources or even to make it a habitable part of the world. A certain amount of our sympathies are with the degenerate de scendents of the once magnificent Mayas, but they . arfc onlx a CUIe to themselves and all who attempt to live in their vicinity, and not many senti mental tears will be shed if Mexico, be-rvo- ii.nfl.-hie to tame 'them, sends a few . .

The agitation of the divorce question by the Pan-iPresbyteTian council, at Washington on Thursday, bore fruit in a very strong resolution denouncing the alarming increase in the number of legal separations, which was adopted'. The alliance was inclined to regard the matter as one of the gravest moment. The flimsy pretexts on which marriage ties are sundered and the short iterm of residence required in several of the western s'lates in order to acquire a di vorce were fully detailed in a most ex haustive report. The delegates de clared that divorce had been fostered by legal enactments, carelessly consid ered, when it should have been th-e re sult of the most deliberate action. The council defined the position in which it stood. The Bible furnished them the guide for action and they resolved that the scriptural, ground for divorce was the only one which could be defended.
