J : LETTER FROM HENDERSONVILLE 1 v V > Mr W D Bryan Writes about Mountain * Breezes and Scenery. Editor Countv nV' t'iu: ? As I sit he:-'- tin- ','orch enjoying the monntaiu Iwtrze, which is delightful, im thoughts go down iu dear oid Williamsburg and I wonder I if it can be hot there now as it was when I left there three weeks ago. We sleep under cover every uight. Three davs after we arrived here faithful old horse "Joe," ar rived and we have since then put in ^^some long drives in the country and ^Bin the farming section. Our first ^B trip was over to Horse Shoe. There we dined with Mr A Cannon, one of Heuderson county's most substantial citizens and a large planter. He has an elegant home well stocked with a herd of Devon cattle. We were royally entertained by his hospitable family. Af'er diuner we started out for the Frencb Broad valley. Crossiug the river we drove on up to Mills river valley and in the valleys of these two rivers I saw some of the finest corn 1 ever saw, I except Mr A Cannon's with whom | we dined. His is the finest I have I Wt flppfl ' We went ou over Mills river. The scenery at Mills river is beautiful; the mountain sides there are dotted with boarding houses and hundreds of boarders are out there. This is 10 miles from Henderson ille. Our next long drive was down to Chimney rock, IB miles, [ran- the Blue Kidge at Hickory ' Not gap, going down the mountain for S miles. The rugged mountain scenery on this 8 miles of rock is indescribable. At the foot of the mountain stands a rock projecting out of the side of the mountain 240 J feet high, 60 feet across. This is called Chimney rock. Just before startiug down this mouutaiu you cross ^ a little hill in the sand about 6 feet "itjivide, which is the dividing line for the water courses of the mountains. ff5 All water falling on the west side k of this six foot ridge finds its way ^kinto the Santee river and that on the PP^^t8ide goes into the French Broad, [ thence into the Tennessee ami on into , the Mississippi river. Oar next long trip was back into Sonth Carolina. We started out last Tuesday morning for Caesar's Head, . 26 miles from Hendersonville; we went up the Crab Creek valley, where we saw some very fine corn and fine cattle. We arrived at Caesar s Head at 6 o'clock p m, had supper at 6:30 and then went up on the rock, which forms Caesar's Ilea d, and in company with others saw the son set, which was simply grand. It took two minutes and forty seconds to hide itself behind Hog Back mountain and continued to shine for 1 some time beyond the mountain,This sight will have to be seeu to be appreciated. After spending the night ou Caesar's Head we left next morning for f- Buck Forest, and down on Little river. This river is noted tor its * magnificent waterfalls, viz., the . * it iah A.KvTJ:/VV? 1 xnpiecc iaiJ8,iUU ieet ui^u, mc mgu 112 feet high, and the Bridal F Veil falls, about 150 feet high. The K river at this point is 225 feet wide l| and we walked across it under the fall3 perfectly dry, not even getting K our feet wet. From there we started ' out for Hendersonville and our faithln ful old "Joe'' bronght us in at 7:30 f? o'clock. We are resting to-day. ||p^ With best wishes for yourself,your I paper and all my friends in WilliamsL burg, I am, ? Yours truly, WD Bryan.

I School rerm Lengthened New Cotton, Marketed?Heartless Negro Parents j Harpers, August 30:?An ice, cream festival will be given at the home of Mr and Mrs \V S Camlin on Tuesday evening, August 31, for the benefit of the 1 j Harpers school. The patrons of' ! this school have made applicaI tion to the State for aid, putting j j up the sum of $30 with their application. This school is ex! pected to have a seven months' ; term. The people are enthusiastic over education in our little I [ town. j There have been several bales i of new cotton ginned here the ; past week and shipped to marj ket. Mr G C Grier is all smiles toj day and seems in a tine glee over j the 10-pound boy that arrived at j his home last Sunday, August 29. The people of this town and community are awaiting with interest the outcome of the protest of the Georgetown county prohibitionists. At last accounts Mr Walter Hazard, their attorney, was still in Columbia trying to get a hearing before the State board of canvassers. Comptroller General Jones seemed to have brought on a deadlock. It seems that Mr Jones takes a delight in holding the State board at bay. I guess since Judge Hydrick's order he has taken his seat with the other members of the board. A dead negro child partly buried was found a few days ago by roliceraan on me Georgetown side of the county road and the matter was reported to the officers of the town. On investigation it was found to be a child which had died a few days ago and was taken out by the negro family and buried on the farm of W S Camlin without his knowledge or consent The negroes were reprimanded by the intendant of the town and ordered to take up the body and re-bury the same in the negro cemetery of the town. Subscriber. Letter from Rev. S J. McCoonellEditor Couutv ltecord: ? I now assume the pleasant task of writing a few lines as the first to my r> - ?r mauy friends of Williamsburg county since coming into the "Old North State." The health of myself and family has been almost perfect since our arrival here. Our location at Orrum, the place we have chosen as a home for the present, is in every way satisfactory. I found and purchased a desirable lot, on which lias been built a comfortable home, with due water and surroundings of convenience. The people,though strangers, have been exceedingly kind and neighborly to us. We have a good school and a live little town of thrifty people. So, in most respects we are very well fixed for the present; yet, however, we do not expect to make this our permanent home, as I expect to take work in the North Carolina conference after this present year. After carefully looking after the comfort of my family,! then took np ' the evangelistic work amoug the Voofr T.nmKoi-frtn nnttrtn mills frVl is was June 1?first, and since that time I have been constantly engaged in this very needful work. My labors have been signally blessed, in the conversion of more than a hundred people, the reclamation of mauv and the organization of one church. Mv associations with the brethren with whom I have labored have been 1J very pleasant and they have shown t! me much kindness and recognition, : bv which I have been made to feel very much at home. But in North E Carolina, as much so or more thau ' in South Carolina, I find the great . need of old time revivals, that the _ | people may be kept from ritualism t and materialism, into which they ap?| pear to be very fast drifting. 3 i I am now engaged in and am boldly ing several meetings with Rev N M McDouald iu the vicinity of Fayette. > ville.and we are having splendid success in every respect,especially in the conversion of souls. And now,expressing to my former parishioners and friends a very tender and affectionate remembrauce of them all, I promise to write more at another time. Sincerely, S .1 MCConwku . Orruui.

Read a case of it: Mrs M 6 Montgomery, Railroad Ave, Kingstree, S C, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kidnev Pills highly in return for the great benefit I have received from their use. I had a lameness across my loins and such severe backaches that I could not turn in bed. Mornings on arising, I was so lame and sore that I coold hardly dress myself and it required considerable effort for me to get about. That my kidueys were out of order was shown by the unnatural appearance of the secretions.
