( '? \ ? -? ? , > ' ' That was a brave and usc.'ul bunch of citizens win formed a mob and stormed the Asheville jail, Saturday night. They were terribly (interested in the welfaijy ol the community, the safety of \yomen, and the good nam* of North Carolina; so much so that, disregarding the fact taht two hoivible crimes, the like of which make even' white man's blood boil, had been Committed withii. a few days, on Sunset mountain, they went calmly about tficir own affair^, if they had any, neglected to assist ii: the search for the beast whose crime horrified all Norf Carolina, and in',no wa? assisted in his capture; bi; waited until the sheriff had Iiim disarmed, and behin. prison baits, when, and not until when, their wrath kne* no bounds, could not be held in, and tiny nutJ-Atorm th jail and would have taken the prisoner, now bound, an. helpless, and exact from him his life, in payment c '?is crime, not by process of law, but in the name o .iiid'Ve l ynch. As would be expected from such a brav ?nob, there are said tj have been ex-ccnvicts and othpi >Yequally ij-ood repute leading the outraged ''citizenship i lie Asheville mob almost iv.se to. the heights attahrn by the Georgia one that broke into the state hospia it Millidgeville, and taking an insane Negro from hi 'ceepers, beat him to death for a maniacal crime. Sheriff Mitchell, of Buncombe., deserves the thanks b. .he state for having averted the lynching, and withou calling qu the militia and without bloodshed.. At that hough, it wasn't a very difficult; job for brains to outdi uich a mob. V \ ~, AC!AIX OUR ROADS j I ?? i. *. ? * ? . o , -'i The action of th<\ commissic ners, and t!ie acceptance >f the loan by the state highway commission, with tlu issumncf.' that there will he no delay in beginning; am pressing the work, has had a stimulating elTeet upoi busiiu'ss in Jackson county. ?' It heralds the dawn of a new day. It assures tlia. Jackson, which is strategically located uj?on the high way system, will take her place as one of the li,r<t eoun ties of Western: Noith Carolina. The building ot the rjnd and the establishing of tiie park are the mi'i.ns whereby ti.? taxes and( the tax hi to can be lowered, for it is onl ? by attracting new capital and creatine new values tha the tax rate can be lowered and th^ great mass ot oui people relieved to part of their tax burden. Jt will mak the taxes a Ijttlc higher, for a slioi'l period; bit, un doubtedly, t. will be the means by which our people ca; ^scape high tax rates, in the end. The commissioners have buildcd a monument to them selves, and have made their county of Jackson. Sylva and Jackson county are rejoicing over the great, est forward step that has ever been taken, by our ]>eopk The eyes of all the state liave. been focused ujiou lis Congratulations have bee.i ;:eiit from all North Carolin. and the adjoining states. There is as much rejoicing ii Asheville and iti Atlanta as tlu-iv is' in Sylva. These tw cities are pulling for us with all their might. TheyCar. working for the upbuilding of our( Vegion. \Ve must link up with S:>uth Carolina, giving us anotho: interstate highway from t!w Palmetto state to Tennessee \ !? ? V ? : ? THAT $40,000,000 A YEAR t On Sunday lastThe Citizen made the statement ii these columns that the.estb dishmeut of the Great Smok Mountain National Park would bring into Western Nortl Carolina an annual income of at least $40,000,000. Now comes W. C. Gregg, a mcmbev of the Appalachian Pari Cwnntission, with detailed and enthusiastic corroboratiot jf that assertion. In an intcvicw given to the VVashingtoi correspondent of he Greensboro News, ho, says: v "The greatest financial investment that North Caro lina can make for yeans to come is to secure the Grca Smoky Mountain National Park. That park will be wort at least $40,000,000 a year annually to the state. F. $2,000,000 the land in the park can be purchased for tl State and presented to the national government. Whei that is done, the government will spend $2,000,000 oi landscape construction and road building, and then tl park will become a source of clear prolit to the state o Notrli Carolina and of Tennessee." The thing, says Mr. Gregg, is" a better proposition than any land boom in Florida or Southern California.' He draws a picture of the State's future as influence* by the park, thus: "Within a few years after the cc.ab lisfiment of this public playground, North Carolina w" have grown 3, 500,000 or 4,000,000 population, and c.tie like Greensboro Winston-Salem and Charlotte will ha quadrupled; in inhabitants". People he declares, wi! stream into the >State from North and West r sightseer* They will ride over our fine roads; they wil be tempted to tour the whole of North Carolina; am. they will sec what a wonder state this is. "Talk about publicity for the state!" he exclaims. "This park means innumerable publicity agents in and / out of North Carolina every year. Everybody who has studied the proposition is agreed Thera is not a dissenting yoice among patrotic Nortl Carolinians^ Establishment of this park will bring to tlu State millions upon millions of dollars, world-wide an* incessant publicity, and such an era of material develop ment as even North Carolina, breaker of records as sh( is, ha never seen.--Asheville ^Citizen.
