L. Vaijey recently planted 1 a small exp..inental field. of alfalfa r on his Gauley mountain place about s, twelve miles above Pickens. The seed m were planted undbr the supervision of County.Agent Bowen, and if the ex periment shows that -lfalfa 'iiay be , grown profitably in that section Dr. H Valley intends to plant his bottom lard of about twenty acres with al- t( falfa seed. c If the doctor successfully introduces B the growing of this valuable crop in the mountain section of Wickens ~coun ty he will have performed a 'vauable service to the county. Dr. Valley's place is a part of Gauley mountain and a small valley Letween Gaulcy and Mcunt Pinnacle. 0 Mount Pinnacle i, the highest moun. - tain peak in South Carolina, reach ingw a he:ghbt ,f about 3600 fet above sea level. and is known locally as Bald Knob. The house on the place is twelve miles above Pickens, is sit uate:l on lovely level spot between s two cool and crystal streams only a few hundrl ed feet from the bash f I and within the shadow of Bald Knob whil 1:-c.4 towering and maj~esti e'1 tpke a if a mighty sentinel on guard. However, inl order to reach the tap of the per one must travcl by-foot p) t h s11n four~ or five mifes Iro'I!Tiile 1iouse. A t cn t tim e, it is Sil (i, a v, agon read led to the top of the peak j r an I Sonle portions of the old road a'e now plainly visible. There is no <1 inking water on Bald Knob, so w hen one makes the trip up a bottle of wat er' shou bI he carried alon', . In ti summ))))er time one cannot A .,et a ;o(.((I view from the topmost E pea!:, because the foliage obstructs the don. but a point about half way B to the OLp atflo ds one of the most , - imaigfgnificent views that ever greeted wi01 tal eyes. From this point one 1 may. with the aid of field glasses, distinguish buildiligs at Greer, Green ville, lsley, liberty, Norris and 'ickens aind smoke from the Walhalla ette 1n mill Is plainly visible and the vast exl- anst of countrmy as far as the f (( i 1 eachl is dotted with residen tees, barns, school houses and country itoCre. As (ne fiirst gazes out upon tb' miagificent 111d awe-inspirin ct'ene it seeis so vast and wonderful that lie is ovl e(eome by the thought of his ownI insigiificance as compared v.ith these mighty works of God and nat-ture. As moultain peak after peak I nud valley after valley, with the seemingly endless expanse of level L land beyond becomes a panorama uin folded be fore one's eyes the night is indes.rible and leaves one speech tss---mute with Admiration. We doubt if a finer tsanoraimie view can be ob inmed aniywher'e in thie countr'y than from this juoinlt enl the side~ of Bald Knob. It. a tower coubl( be built oin the summ111ii ef t he mountain so that one0 'oulfd look out from above the tr(e2 the view no doubt would be eveni On D~r. Valley's pla.e is one of I he very (11d apple)1 orchards whbich mfanly years5 ago eCld be found throughout our mountain section. There ar'e many trees ot different varieties, and althoughl the orchbardl has hnd no0 at tention for years and yc:us the tr'ees are !till bearing fruit of~ great qjuaniLty and fine quality.. Nunrbers of the trees now have oin -thenm frem t.en to twenty bushels of arpples each. Thiere is nQ (ouibt but that thmis is a natural a pple country. I nciden tally, Mr'. TI. A. Bowen salys thalt he0 thrcught an apple that mleasuredl six i~eeni inches aroiundl out of the Reedly Cove countr'y several weeks ago, and there are pllenlty more like it UP there. The r'easonl the applle inglustry hmas not been dlevelope~d in thttsection is1 b~ecause of lack of good roads to mar ket. With the adlvent of good roads opening up the mountain sections of tihe county no dloubt the apple indlus- I try will be dlevelOpedl into ai pr1omi nent and profitable business and add much wvealth to the county. The upper)O portions of Pickens counaty have long beeni neglected, but now they are going to come into their own, and wvith their great natural ad vantages and resources dCeeopedl the enrichment wvhich res:ults wvilI not be of lcaeal ('freet alone but felt over the ent1 ire counity. Trhe building of good roadls into and1( across the mountains of Pickens county is going to prlove the best in v'estmee~nt the c'ounty has made since' bondl~s were issued "for building (of - the Southern railwvay.

BALD HEAD PHILOSOPHY By lawkshaw. Wonder if Peru was the birthplace f Peruna. They have a Hardwick in Georgia ut he has been turned down. Ford can't afford to run. Sone folks call them Road Hogs ut we call them Dahmphools. If you know the word you can get >me things at a soft drink stand that ill make you feel mighty hard. The hand that rocks the cradle iles the work, but it seems like the Wile rules the hand now (lays. We have enough Cole but not vugh Coal. Army officers rank raised-Head ;e. Some should be ~ razed. The slice Tolbert cut for himself om the Republican Pie seems to be inted. Some folks never say No unless ked if they have enough. Some commit suicide; -others try to ix gasoline and whisker. 1d King Coal :s a queer old soul, queer old soul is he, e calls for high prices and demands our gold, uit he can't nyike his miners agree.
