Case Revmwd and Dismissed. Will Xow Go to tlies Hupertor Court for Trial, Having had a hearing In the Su perior court, then the stale Supreme court, where the suit wss dismissed, It Is highly probabls that the suit of ths city of Ashsvllle sgalnst property owners on Bouthslda avenue along Cripple creek, will have a hearing In tha federal court. It Will be recalled that something Ilka a year ago, the city proceeded to collect tha taxea levied on property owners on Southstds avenue, who were assessed with two-thirds of the paving expenses, the Ashevllle TOIec trlc company to pay the balance. The property owners along the south Side of tha street objected to paying the aesessment. which waa something Ilka lt.lt a front foot, contending thst ths property along tha creek waa not worth the paving assessment. Upon tha city' threatening to aall the prop arty for tax, Judge Justice Issued a temporary ireetrainlng order, which waa later mad permanent, enjoining th city from selling tha proparty for tsses amounting to about 10,080. The city appealed to tha Supreme court, which reversed tha ruling of tha Superior court and dismissed the caa. ,,, Out of thirty or forty proparty owner on th street. It is understood that soma are paying the assessments while othere have signified their In tention of not paying. The city, It la said, will proceed to collect the taxes In due course of time. When such action la taken, It la highly probable that tha property owners, who con tend that th taxes are unjust will resort to th federal court through their attorneys who fought the cases In the other court. Wells A Swain snd Carter A Chsdcstar, In view of the fact that the cass la of mors or lest Interest to tha city, and that It has been well thrashsd out In th othsr courts, the next pro ceeding by the city, which will bs fol lowed by th Institution of a suit in tha federal court, will be watched with tha keenest of Interest. H la understood that tha esse next time will ba grounded on misrepresen tation. In that th owners of property shutting th street were misinformed to jthe coat when authorising It to be done, and that fraud to iome ex tent waa connected therewith, HENDERSONVIIIE ROAD IS BEING IMPROVED Aotil of tho Autolet Made tiled hy the ft oa pent of a Prrfm Highway to Thst Town, Automobile per ties passing over tha country road from Ashevllle to Hendersonviiie feel much encouraged over the condition of the road, snd the prospects of having a fine high way between the two cities within a short time. Thoso familiar with the condition of the Henderson end of the read say that It Is the best stretch of road tn Henderson county. This highway has long been a sub ject for much discussion by good rosd enthuslssts on both ends of the road. With Brtttaln'a convict force of a lsrge number of men on the Bun combe end of the road In th Bush section, Indications look tn a quick removal of the eye sore between these two cities. it PATTO.V AVE. STRONG SERMON AT FIRSTBAPTISTCHURCH Hit. IXE8 RKCOMMEXPH THE COMMISKIOX FORM. In WVond of crir ol hermnii 1'ae lor IMecuswa tivlr lrog rc anil Reform. Al (he Klrel Baptist church Rev. Or. Vlne le preaching a eerles of sermons entitled "Echoes from My Varation." l-ast night he delivered the eecond in the series on "The Old et Town in the United Htalee." This sermon was sugicieted by a visit to St. Augustine, KIs., while y n his varation. Or. Vines gave a most Interesting description of Florida and mad som striking references to the city of fit. Augustine. He referred to the great rsllrosd that Mr. Klaglr has built us the most remarksble feat of railway enterprise which the world hs ever sn. The historical per spective of 400 years was suggested by the settlement of Kt. Augustine in H6I. In a thrilling reference to this period of four hundred years In glow. ln language he graphically descrlb ed Luther's appearance before the Diet of Worms In 1631. the assassin ation of Admiral Collgny In UTi. the defeat of the Invincible Armada In 1588 and the defeat of Hpaln In Ma nila bay Hit. All these events were Intimately connected with the city of St. Augustine. In this connection Dr. Vines took occasion to refer to the advancement of civic and religious life during this period since the founda tion of St. Augustine. He declared thst In his opinion that the commis sion form of government was Iho best yet devised for the control of our cltlee. A (ldl wave of civic righteousness Is sweeping over the country snd this Is but a feature of the uprising of the people In their opposition to ring rule and graft All good people ahould put themselves In this current for the advancement of 'rlghteusness and should carry their Christianity to the ballot box and vote on Tuesday as their consciences dic tate. The triumph of commercialism over militarism Is suggested also by ths ruins of the old fort and the an cient gateway of St. Augustine, rel ics of military rule now psssed away. All this Is suggestive of the pssslng of war and Indlcltatlve of the fat that men and nations are learning that war docs not pay. St, Augus tine Is now noted for Its fine hotels and Its commercial enterprise. "The law of tha survival of the fittest" Is suggested by the fact that the Span iard drove out the Frenchman and th Indian, only In turn td be driven out by' the Englishman. Spain car ried 15,000,000 wrenched from the savatea by fraud and crime to enrich her coffers at horns. Every nation she touched has been lowered In civ ilisation and money haa proved her ruin and deatructlon. Will American civilisation under English domination suffer a similar fate? Either gold will conquer America or America' will conquer gold. Thia la tha problem of home missions. The christian con quest of the city Is suggested by the theme. Three hundred and fifty years ago there waa one 'city, today there are TOO cities In the United States. In HOD four per cent of the popula tion lived In cities or 8.000 and over. In 1S00 76 per cent was In the city and the last crnsus puts the figures still higher. "The city." says Emer son, "Is recruited from the country. The city would have died out. rotted and exploded long ago but that It was relnforeed from the field." Ver ily "Ood made the country but man made the city." The cities are the centers of Intemperance, pauperism and crime. He does most to chris tianise the world who does most to christianise America and he does most to chrta.nlxe America who does most to save our cities. The city Is the Olbrsltar of civilisation. Our cities now control th nation and It Is the tssk of Christianity to control the city. All chrlstlsn people should to It thst Ashevllle Is a model city In sll respects so that the people who come here mny carry with them the Im pressions from which they came bet ter men snd women. Dr. Vines noted In Florida that the Sabbath day was disregarded in Miami and Tampa, business houses being open on Sunday and places of amusement as well. Let Ashevllle always be noted as a place where places of amusement are closed on Sunday and business houses are made to observe the christian Sabbath. The modern city Is the place where are centered the great est Influences for evil as well ss for good. The currents for the degrada tion of young people and the demor- j Islne Influences which wreck human character sr round In their greatest degree In the cities. On the other : hand the beet churches and the best I schools, the greatest charitable and ! philanthropic Institutions and in short all the mightiest rorces tor good are ' round In the modern city. fhe sermon closed llh a graphic i. lor civic righteousness and a application of the text as f H d in P rims f.6; -ll; " have seen violence and strife In the cl'y. Day snd night they go shout it upon the walls thereof; mischief also and sorrow are In the midst of It. Wick edness Is In th midst thereof-, deceit and guile depart not form her strts." Next Sunday evening th subject will be "The Pearl of th Antilles" In which Dr. Vines will describe his trip to Havana. SONli SERVICES WAS HELOATTHE Y.M.I. HALL (Contributed.) The audience that came out to the T. M. I. song service yesterday was given a rare treat In the address of Rev. H. L. Ashe. He took for a sub ject. "Two Important Elementa in the Life of an Individual." The two points that he discussed were vision and courage. la his argument he CONVAIESCENTS 1 After a long wasting Illness, con valescents require nourishing food 1 that will not overtax the digest. e; functions and In the wa-' of a atrength-restorlng and vltaltty-mak-1 Ing tonic, we-know of nothing th.il equals Vlnol. -our delicious cod liver! and iron tonic (without oilj.

Ashevllle, N. C. : went on to show that one never! amounts to much In this life who has not caught a Vision of some needed work to be done and then set aoout I to bring It to pass. He told the' young men present that It was not enough to stand on th comers of the . strcete and discuss what they might do If given a chance,, but that they I ahould go to work with some definite ! object" In view and win success. "And j in your work," said he, "you cannot! afford to let the dark veil or prejudice I come between you and the high Ideals : of Christian service. How many of ; you have a Igoad vision or lae, and have the courage to pursue it? The standard must be raised higher and higher, snd right here I would like to say a few words to the young women. Do not associate with the man or low Ideals. Let him understand from the atsrt that he must come up to the standard or pan on." At the cloae the speaker waa heartily applauded. "Lincoln," said a speaker at a ban quet, "could not stand tedious writ ing in others. . He once condemned for Its tediousness a Greek history, whereupon a diplomat took him to task. "The author of that history, Mr. President, fa one of the profound ett scholars of the age. Indeed, It may be doubted whether any man of our generation ' has plunged more deeply In the sacred fount of learn ing." 'Yes, of come up drier,' said Lincoln." Oeorge W. Perkins was giving ad vice to young men. "Never under take," he said. 'te do too much. In applying for a position It Is almost better to promise too little than too much. Remember the model. An old chap applied to a New York artist for the post of model. 'Well.' said th artist, 'what do you alt for?' 'Oh. anything air,' aald the model, fingering his hard nervously.
