Aa it is, it is n clean and emphatic victory lor the democrats, who were neither disfran chised nor sold nut. The Sun should ponder this lesson. THE PROSPERING SOUTH. Never in the history of the South has her future looked so bright us at present. Mineral nnd limlier lands have greatly advanced ill value, and sales arc inaile almost daily. Yellow pine IuiiiIht is lic ing more extensively used every year, anil prices arc improving. Many ol the mills have nilvanced prices from one tn two dollars K-r thousand feet of dimension stuff. The demand for nil the Southern hard woods is brisk nnd prices are, gen erally siK'nkiiig, higher. The farmers are almost entirely out of debt, proscroiiB, nnd happy. There arc few mortgages on Southern farms. The Southern towns arc developing nt n innrvelous rate fas ter, H'rhups, than ever known in nny portion of this country. Small manufac turing establishments arc springing up all over the South, and in must cases arc exceedingly prosHToiis. In short, there is an increased activity in all branches of industry, nnd the next ten years will offer the greatest opportunities ever known for making money in the South, Heed's) Cliiirmluit I'ltrnHCM.

IOC lCIIIUIlkllllB Will l(1tlIII till lUUIU WHAT THE BUSINESS MEN THINK OF IT. NEARLY ALL HEARTILY ENDORSE THE IDEA. The Opinions) of Home or Hie Hus lueHH Men on tlie Quuslloit What Will Ihe Hoard Io? When President G. S. Powell of the Hoard of Trade spoke of being heartily in luvor of a public park for Asheville he echoed the sentiments of n majority of the people of the city and certainly of all of the visitors. A uumlicrof the business men were seen yesterday nnd asked their opinion. Ity far the greater mnjoritv favored it. The park committee will report at n meeting of the Hoard of Aldermen not tar distant. The latter in appointing the committee have shown that they too favor 11 public park and it is not improb able that some action towards getting one in view will lie taken. A number of the business men say it may not lie n bail idea to select n site soon. Asheville is on the boom, property is steadily ad vancing in value, nnd it will be money in the city's pocket to secure it now. It is only a question of time when Asheville will lie obliged to have a park, and with the amount of money which would he saved by buying it now it might lie litt ler to take time by the tort lock. The opinions are given below: W, T. Reynolds Certainly there ought to be a park here. So many visitors come lo Asheville thnt there should lie a place for them to visit. A. T. Siimmcy There might to have liecn one here a long time ago. J. W. Cortland I always lmvcsaid and say now that Asheville should have n public park, J. Ii. Rankin There is a great need for n public park here, and I think the city would do well to issue bonds. W. li. Ilreesc Asheville w ill need a park sooner or later, and 1 think the ground should be purchased now before land rises in price. J. M. Campbell There ought to lie a park here nnd I Ik-Hcvc in gelling the ground while it is as cheap as it is. Ii. C. Waddell I am not in favor of a park, but think that fairgrounds and a race track arc more needed than a park. T. S. Keelor II certainly docs seem right that we should have a public park, and one ought to Ik bought before prop erty increases in price. R. I'inlav A public park waul I Is- a good thing for the town, and I lor one, am willing to pav t'le increased amount ol taxes if it is found necessary to make thcin larger in order lo get a park. T.J. Kevcll Asheville ought lo have a park and the sooner the belter. II. N. Davenport Asheville most as siiredly should have a park. I have never seen a place of its size where there was not n public park. Natt Atkinson 1 am in favor of the city having a park. If we are not a I'll to get it any other way, lei us have bonds issued to pay for it. II, P. Arrington Asheville will eventu ally need a paik and I thiol; it should lie bought now before proHTiy advances in price. J. P. Sawyer Asheville ought lo have a park. I am in favor of getting one a mile or two out of the city, to Is.- reached by roil, and having a good view. Let us get it if possible without issuing any moiv bonds. C. T. Knwls Why of course then' night to be n park here, I am surprised that one has not Isen made before this and think it should he gotten before laud gets anv higher. J. II. Herring There might to Is.' one in the city, nut i am not in invor 01 ex H'iiding n great amount nf money mi it. S. D. Pclhiini Hy all means let us have a public park, A place where cveiybody can feel free to go mid amuse themselves nt nil times. W. 11. Marx There ought to ! a park here and I think it would lie lo the ml vantage of the city to scnd coiisidcra hie money on it. J. M. Lorick Yes, let there Is; a park, and if necessary, a great ileal of money should lie expended on the place. II. A. Limlsey I say there should lien park here. Land enough a little out of town could lie bought fur coiiipninlivcly little money now, nnd it would lie a big thing for the place. W, II, Gwyn Asheville will certainly need a park in the future, nnd 1 think provision should Ih' iiiiiiIc now while land is cIiciiikt. J. II. Loughrun A park is n necessary thing here, and if there is no other way to get it let us issue boiuls to pay lor it A. R. Coolcy Asheville ought to have had n park long ago, and I think land should lie bought now bcfirc the price advances, Thus. I). Johnston We should make provision for the future, and I think a park should Ik made while laud can lie purchased cheap, T, II. Doc No, there is no need of u park here, and if one was made only those living right at it would make use of it. A. C, Davis I say let the money lie ex IKiidcd on our streets and sidewalks be fore we build a park. II, C. Hunt The streets need nttcn tion worse than we need n park, but I think it would be n good plan lo have one if we enn afford it. M. J. Ucnrdcn Uv all means Asheville should have a public park. Let us get one while properly is cheap. Geo, Henderson There ought to be a park here with a good drive or race track. 1 am willing to pay something more than the extra taxation that would lie imposed, T.J. Ilnrgan It would be the biggest thing Asheville could do, and the prop erty should l)c purchased now, ns it will soon be too high. GOSSIP OF THE DAY. 'I have no doubt that the local agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals will faithfully perform his duties," said a citizen who is inter ested in such matters, theother dny, "but I want to Iks leave to suggest to him that he bestow sjKtial attention upon the cases of cruelty that take place when ever the drivers of horses torture the du'lib Vasts in their care by unnecessary high cheeking, or by reckless and uncalled- for healings with whips and even clubs." The gentleman had the right idea. The check-rein is a good thing to use in mod eration, but when its use is carried to ex cess, torture is a mild word to apply to the siillcrings that nervous, high-spirited animals must suffer liecauseof it after n journey of any considerable length. As lor the frequent use of whips and clubs upon such u valuable and intelligent crea ture us the horse, it cannot lie defended by any sensible licing. The whip is occa sionally n good thing to use, mid an means of guidance to supplement the use of the reins it is always proper to cm ploy hoinu opathic dose's of whiplash. As for clubs well, the fellow that would delili- crati lv use one oil anv but the most de termined, vicious and incorrigibly ugly brute, and then merely to insure the safely of life or p-oicrty, deserves almost any punishment short of lynching. There is, however, quite a strong temp tation to make use of the check-rein. The (',ossiR-r. like nearly nil other men, has iildcn liehind well-fed nnd wcll-iiroomcd horses of such marvelous and wcll-dcvcl- iK-il laziness that unless the check wus used the horses' heads were nearly on n level wilh their knees. The judicious use of n little checking isn't n bad thing; its cruel and excessive use is, of course, an entirely dilVerent affair. Perhaps it will require a case or two m court, however, to determine just where the line is to Ix Irawn belwevn a reasonable amount ol style nnd absolute cruelly. If their own stories can lc liclicvcd maiiv of the citizens ol Asheville have an indomitable faith ill the future of their own cilv. As one of them said the other lav, he was putting into real estate nil his ready cash, and all that he could beg r borrow. There is certainly something f a Ihioiii quality lurking about the place it present, ami there's no apparent good reason why the lncn who have planted their dollars in the soil of this municipal ity shouldn't dig them up later and find their iiuiuIk.t increased very iierccptibly. There's only one danger, and that is iiule apparent to nil sensible coplc. llon't follow the lend of the wild and woolly boomer who tries to convince the stranger within our gates that he has at last found paradise. The man who is going to settle in Asheville is go ing lo live in a mighty pleasant place, but he doesn't need a halo in order lo gain adiuillaiKV to Asheville society. Heaven is still faraway. It's all right to brag about the climate, the scenery the opportunities lor charming rules and drives, the chances to regain lost health, and all that sort of thing; but don't try to daze and dazzle the stranger with an extremely picturesque and xctic story ol the excellent qualities of an ideal laud that the iveoplc upon this planet ns yet has never had the honor of beholding. Sonic of the talcs which new arrivals have heard about this favored spot arc weird in their exaggeration, and there is naturally a reaction that is hurtful when ihe matter is investigated by the pros' ieetivc purchaser. Take the new comer out to any one ol half a dozen points of vantage hereabouts; ht him gaze his fill nt the scenery nnd inflate hi lungs wilh Asheville nir; tell him what some of his chances arc for making a dollar, if he is n siKcnlatiir as well as a seeker tor residen tial grounds; nnd then subsilie. What's the use of trying to paint the lilv mid ;,,,p,,vi iiiiii'u ihe work, ol Providence? ROBBED AT DECATUR. Wind lie-re 1 1 nn AhIicvIIHuii While 1'rnvt-llnK. W. J.
