ONE YEAR OLD.
With the present number The High
lander enters on the second year of its
existence ; it is yet only a bantling in size
as well as in age, but we hope that it holds
within it the promise of future growth
as well as of greater usefulness. Its mod
est sheet 'goes out weekly with the pur
pose of conveying such local and general
news as may be interesting to the dwel
ers in and about this town, as well as of
helping in its small way the spread of in
formation regarding Western North Car
olina,. and particularly Highlands. In
political questions it takes no part, but it
will, wo hone, always be found on the
side of progress in education, in morality
in social conditions, in agriculture, etc.
etc., and in the love for and appreciation
of all that is beautiful and all that is
good.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
IN 1886. ;
"Dost thou not suspect my place ? Dost
thou not suspect my years? I am a wise
fellow, and which is more an officer, and
which is more a householder, and one
that knows the law, go to ; and a rich
fellow enough, go to ; and a fellow that
hath had losses, and one that hath two
gowns, and everything handsome about
him." Shak.
The Asbeville Citizen in the persons of
its editors was a few days since summon
ed before Judge Shuford of the Inferior
Court of Buncombe, on a charge of con
tempt of court, based upon the publica
tion on July 28 of the following mildly
facetious paragraph :
Hanging the Juries.
"Judge Shuford's Inferior court seems
to be playing the mischief with its lunes
It adjourned Monday evening with two
hung juries. Now if they would- hang
the court and the bar and all the plaint
iffs and defendants, we really do not
know but that the country would be
helped. However, we would really re
gret having some of our friends tied up."
To whatever cause owing, the dignity
of this august court would seem to re
quire emphatic self-assertion,. On the
day after the case had been partly heard,
two other short articles which had ap
peared in the Citizen of July 29, were
likewise taken exception to, and for all
three the editors were adjudged guilty
of contempt, and sentenced to pay a fine
of $300. Determined however to assert
and maintain the rights of a free press,
and feeling assured that the Judge com
mitted a grave error, they will carry the
case to a higher court.

The Asbeville Citizen says : "Our ex
cellent friend the Highlander is evident
ly m trouble. He cannot leave his sanc
tum without treading upon Microstvlis
ophioglossoides ; Liparis liliifoha,"
Sec, Sec, giving a number more such
names, and ending thus, "and he in a
'dry town' at that." We thank our
friendly neighbour for his sympathy,
which we beg to return in kind ; we do
not know whether the "dry town" has
anything to do with it, but certainly Mi
crostyli8 opliioglossoides, alarming
though it looks, is not nearly so danger
ous as the Inferior court, and even Gyvi-
naaema tnuentata does not insist upon
jeing respected to the amount of $300.
