This section has been wonderfully blessed this year. It has sot had any severe storms or Hoods like some sec tions. We have had plenty of rain, consequently crops are looking weih The Sunday School at Shiloh is in a flourishing condition. Everybody seems to be interested. Dr.N.T. Richardson had a severe attack of heart failure last week. We are glad to report him convalescent. Mrs. ?. R. Ferry. ? 'ho has been very eick for the last eigut months, is not any better. J. J. Moore bas been suffering from a severe bad cold, but we hope to see him well in a few days. Miss Mary Reed was the welcome guest of Miss Ida Fleming Sunday. It is said that preachers like chick en. I guess if that is trae, chickens Will be in great demand in Piedmont daring the first ten days in August. The Wealeyans are to hold their an nual campmceting there and it is re Krted that thirty-five preachers are to present. Several of oar yoong people are an ticipating going to the mountains this sommer. We wish them a happy trip. We had a beautiful raia yesterday afternoon which refreshed vegetation very much. . A rain every day orso like that would be very acceptable. We attended Church at Shiloh yes terday (Sunday) and listened to an eloquent sermon delivered by Dr. W. R. Richardson, of Spartanbnrg, editor of the Southern Christ-inn Advocate. Dr. Richardson was raised in a few hundred yards of the Church. He said "Never did I thiok that I would be a stranger ia my old community and Church, but such are my feelings to day." A largo crowd of old friends and relatives were present to hear him. Some of our young people attended the singing at Mt. Airy Snnday and re port good singing and a large crowd. It seems the up-to-date way of car rying girls to Church ie to carry them and thea wait so loag after preaching that they start home walking; then the old bachelor hitches ap his mule, over takes them and carries them the re mainder of the way. Beatrice, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Moore, narrowly escap ed death this morning by falling into a tab of water face foremost. The child was ooly a year old. Vigor?os treat meat was used and in a little while signs of resuscitation were apparent and we hope she will soon be folly well. Tho blackberry crop is abtrcS gone, bat apples and peaches at? plentiful. So by mixing them with a little bacon and cornbread the people bavent any particular room for complaint about something to eat. The farmers will soon be done work and have nothing to do bat eat and go to big meetings. We hope some good preacher will show them the error of their ways and that they will be con strained to do better. July 20. Observer.

Orr and his sons have returned from tho mountains where they enjoyed camping' for ten days at Caesar's Head, Buck Forest, Sapphire, Toxaway nod Cashier's Val ley. Knowing the interest the citizens ! near the valleys of Kooweo and Sene ca Rivers felt in the bi? Toxaway dam, a reporter for the Greenville News asked Colonel Orr what he thought of it. - He said, from an crtistio point of I view, the Toxaway lake and dam were j beautiful. The water, being perfectly I olear and smooth, glistened like silver, 1 and reflected the mountains surround- ! ing it like a French plate mirror, but from an utilitarian point of view he was differently impressed. Ho thought engineers who were competent tojudgo should make a careful examination of it, j Toxaway river, which rans from the i foot of Hogback mountain, is about as large aa Reedy River, and draina a large extent of the smaller surround- j ing mountains, and runs very swiftly. I Indeed, just below the dam the river | falls probably 100 feet in SOO yards. Tho dam is about 480 feet long, tB feet I high, 260 feet at bottom and 2?. feet at the top, and is made exclusively of loose stones and dirt, there not being any masonry or cement used except on two little drains on top the dirt dam. Tho dam is 12 feet higher than the water and this space is act in grass and the whole lower side of the dam has been sodded, the top being a drive way. The water overflows around tile end of dam through a Bpace 30 to 40 feet wide, which has been blasted out of reasonably sound stone. Colonel Orr said: "If a continued rain should fall it is doubtful if this outlet would discharge the water as rapidly OB it collects from the moun tain sides and if the water ever rose above the top of the dirt dam it wou' \ wash it away In two hours. The ex tant of the dac? can hardly be app. e dated as one cannot get a full view t w any one point, but it is said to be ;8 miles around, and from 60 to 75 feet deep in many places - It took 4 months and 15 days to All up. Think of that. "There is one thing abont it that alarmed me very muon, and which waa not observed until a careful examina tion was made of the base of the dam. There are unquestionably two very considerable leaks, under and through the dam, and being of dirt and loose rock, the probability of their increasing seems very great. With these leaks the chances of muskrats burrowing through the dirt and the possibility of the overflow not carrying away the surplus water, I must confesa that I feel considerable apprehension for the people living in the valleys, their pro perty, and the bridges over and dams on the streams which wonld receive the waters if the dam should break. The railroad from Eastatoe, on the French Broad River, has been comple ted to one and one-half miles from the dam, and the Toxaway hotel, on the lake, with 400 rooms, will be open by theflrst of August. Mr. Hayes, the general manager of the railroad and Toxaway Co., has transformed those wild and uninhabited mountains into a paradise, and opened up the finest cli mate that I know of in the world, to the tourist. His energy, enterprise and power of development has been phenomenal; let ss hope his judgment as to the safety of the dam is sound, for if it is not Johnstown and Clifton floods wonld be insignificant compared with the loss of. life and property, which this wonld occasion."-Green ville News.
