The Mountain Trip.
On the morning of July 29th
Squire Boggs and his party,
consisting of himself, his daugh
ter Hattie and son Marion, his
nephew DeWitt Boggs of Pend
leton, his son-in-law H. G. Smith
and familyof Liberty, his neices
Eva. Decie and Nellie Newton
of Pendleton, and Mr. and Mrs.
Herbert Parsons and daughter
Jimmie of Liberty left for a
trip to the mountains. There
were three old-maid school
teachers who had to bear the
teasing, two young ladies, two
sports," two babies, and the
rest were "staid" married peo
ple. We were accompanied by
Het Byrd, a lady of color, and
Allen Patterson, a groomsman.
Our journey was uneventful
ad we reached Gap Hill church
where we halted for an hour and
ui me uasu cooKs mn une country,
thedinner was made more en
joyable by the older members of
the party by hot coffee which
Het brewved over a fire made of
sticks.
The ride that afternoon was
specialy pleasant for the crowd
was in good spirits and we could
feast our eyes on acres and acres
of beautiful corn, the air was
wonderfully clear and the moun
tain which we were approaching
were good to see. We crossed
"Keowee's linmpid stream" near
the historic Indian fort from
which Cateechee started on her
famous ride to Ninety Six and
reached Salem late that even
ing. Through the kindness of
Mr. Robinson we were allowed
the privilege of sleeping on the
maple floor of the school house,
and1 all of us can testify that the
floor is hard and firm enough to
withstand the wear of and tear
of school children for years to
come. Rev. Kelly was con
decting a series of services in the
Salem church and we attended
services that evening.
Friday morning we started
out bright and early and soon
began mountain climbing in
earnest. We stopped on the
way to purchase some chickens
for dinner. After going about
four miles we found that a suit
case had been left and in return
ing for it we were detained an
hour or so, but we improved the
time by getting acquainted with
Mrs. Burgess who kindly allow
ed us the use of the kitchen in
dressing our chickens. There
had been recent rains and the
mud on those Oconee hills sticks
too tight to improve one's dispo
siti n. H-owever, notwithstand
ing our various hindrances we
made v-ery good progress, and
lightning the loads by allowing
all except the drivers to walk up
the steep places, we reached
White Water Falls where we
set up our stove aud the women
folks prepared supper while the
gentlemen set up the tent and
arranged for the night. The
5(crV around the falls was:
grand and the view of the
mountains with the continual:
cha,in of the clouds in the
beautiful, then later whjen tie;
moon rose the scene once viewed
can never be forgotten. That
is an ideal place to camp and
every one enjoyed it to the ful
lest extent. Our groomsnian
got thirsty and returned to
Liberty by way of "Jocassee.'
Saturday we reached. Mr. E.
P. Reid's and camped with the
intention of spending Sunday.
During the afternoon we made
apple preserves and prepared
vegetables for next day. Sun
day some of the party went to
Sunday School. We expected
to climb Mt. Toxaway, or Hog
Back, as it is more familiary
known, on Monday but it began
raining Sunday afternoon and
continued until Wednesday.
Mr. Parsons had a violin and
we sang and listened to music a
great part, of those two days.
After we had satisfied ourselves
with music some one proposed
that we make sone Tick Tacks
and we whiled away some pleas
ant hours with that old-fashion
ed but interesting game. Wed
nesday morning we all welciI
ed the appearance of the :,n1
;uidafter an early dinner luasl i]
prepared and hastily e,0( n we
packed our paraphernalia aid off
we started.
We obtined news of home as,
we passed the office and after,
some time very pleasantly spent
at Lake Toxaway we were glad
to be on the road again. We
reached Mr. W. E. Galloway's
where we expected to spend the
night. We were heartily wel
comed and certainly enjoyed the
royal hospitality of this kindly
old couple. Some of the party
spent some time pleasantly fish
ing in the beautiful waters of
the French Broad.
The next day we passed
through the little towns along
theroad and at Rosman we saw
large tannery belonging to the
Toxaway Co. It was the first
establishment of its kind that
many of the party had ever seen.
During the day's drive we pass
Ied thr ough the most prosperous
sction since our first day out.
the grain was beaten out with1
sticks. Another evidence of
progressiveness was the large
number of colts in the nastures.
As we neared Brevard the cattle
were fenced in while in most
sections both cattle and hogs
had free range. We reached
Brevard and after spending the
noon hour pleasantly with
friends we drove to Connestee
falls. The falls are unusally
pretty for so small ones. We
camped that night near Little
River. During the night we
had a heavy thunder shower
which frightened sonic of the
party and aroused a drove of
cattle who were spending the
night in our vicinity. They at
tacked our feed wagon and had
to be driven away the second
time. So the dogs attempted to
raid our provision boxes, so tak
en as a whole the night was en
joyed in an unusual manner.
We arose early and were on
our way to Ceaser's HIead1 by
six o'clock. We reached there
by eight o'clock and the fog had
clearedl away so we could see all
there was to see. It was a new
scene to most of us and we en
joyed standing on the mountain
and locating difTerent places
around the horizon.
We then came down the
mountain and every one wasW
glad to say. "We are on the way
home". We ate dlinnler soon af
ter crossing Saluda river and
made our way to Pickens. reach
ing there about sundown. We
halted awhile to rest our animals
and to refresh ourselves with
super then we camne on to Lih
erty. Our last day's (rive was
thelongest. but as the baseball
boys say, "We were making our
home-run."
We had a great deal of fun
a)out going to "Hossp'ster"
and "Laurel Forks" to fish and
we were a little dissappointed
