I feel it but an act of courtesy due
him to retire. In conformity to estab- :

THE WATEBEE JPJRIZE CLVB.
An Address by Mr. J. M. Ste ivart?A Big
Melon?Fine Cotton and O ther Crops?
An Institute for the Farmers.
An invitation to The News and
Herald to attend a meeting of ibe
Wateree Prize Club on Saturday, afforded
an opportunity for spending- a
very pleasant evening in the country.
The difficulty in procuring a conveyance
caused us to reach .Mr. T. L.
Johnston's, the place of meeting,
rather late, but in time to hear a very
interesting address by Mr. J. M.
Stewart on "Our wornout lands." The
speaker discussed the methods of restoring
these lands?the use of domestic
and commercial fertilizers and the
pea crop, giving the result of some of
Dr. Fnrman's experiments with the
latter. Many practical suggestions
were made which we would be glad
to give our readers, but our space
forbids.
After the address a general discussion
ensued, which demonstrated that
the members of the club arc determined
to keep abreast with the
progress of fb? Jxmes^ana ii> mxseravr
profcssi?jf--of"fanning both profitable
ai?8?p!easant.
Tte committee on melons reported
that Mr. Frank Neil had entered a
thirty-three and a half pounder for the
prize. Melons will be entered from
time to time during the season, and
the weights recorded, the largest winning
a prize of $2.50.
After having passed resolutions
tendering thanks to Mr. J. 2d. Stewart
for his instructive address, the club
adjourned to meet Saturday, August
llth, at Mr. F. A. Neil's.
The business being over the club
idiourned to the yard, where a water
melon treat awaited them The dis-1
sussion now bccame very general, and
if modesty did not forbid we would
report that the 25T. aud H. man took a
Leading part. The thirty-three pounder
tvas particularly toothsome, and in fact
;o were all the rest.
We had the pleasure of inspecting
three prize cotton patches. Messrs.
Johnston's, Rawl's,"and Neil's, aud
splendid patches they arc. The plants
ire about waist high and filled with
;ruit, and are looking stiff and healthy,
[t is too early to predict the yield?so
uuch depending upon the" August
seasons?but the general opinion seems
:o be that the twelve prize acres in the
jlnb will make twenty-five bales.
Besides the prize patches of cotton
lud melons, there are patches of corn,
peas, pinders, potatoes, and sorghum,
in acre each, and all looking" well.
Mr. Johuston had ihis year's potatoes
"or dinner on Saturday, and others re- !
port potatoes as large as a man's fist.
The members of the club are very j
nuch pleased with the plan of inten- j
;i?P ffl'-miMi irfi nvnrnr jliMiaii iii'Hi'i

land enough for the entire crop. An
amount is kept oi the co?t of
a^uu4w.vv
these patches, so that the profit or joss
will be easily ascertained when the
crop is gathered.
A committee was appointed to inquire
into the practicability of having
a Farmers' Iustitnte some time in
August or September at Winnsboro,
and if found practicable to complete
the necessary arrangements, and issue
asu fp.
Having spent - very pleasant evening
we returned to the JBoro, feeling
mnch indebted to onr prize clnb friends
for their kind and hospitable treatment.

quickly cured by Sbiloh's Cnre. We guarantee

of attending my old club last weei
! and had a ride along the old Pcay':

at the farms. I know all the fields oi
the road and have seen the crops whicl
have been raised on them for the las
fourteen years. I always took par
ticnlar notice of all crops, espcciall
when I was iarming, and I believe m
judgment may be worth something a
to knowing about the average condi
tion of what is now growing. Wei
, the first places on the road are thos
- of Mr. Elder aud Mr. Cathcart. Bot

I is too small for the middle of Jul;
^ but as a fine rain has fallen since I la
. saw it, there is no doubt a grc;

j look at the prize patch of Frank

will be hard to beat. Hiram Hollis
i has some good and I suppose some

| poor cotton on white sandy land,
! which is trying to grow. Where the

May was poison to the plant It has
not come out much, but hot aiid dry
j weather may do it good. This poor
; cotton is seen pretty much all the way
from Horse Branch to Durham's.
i The Durham and "Wardlaw cotton is
fine, but on the rich land near the
house I saw some small specimens.
Ou the sandy field beyond the dwelling
I saw some corn that looked quite
sickly. There was something in the
field* that was not corn, how it got
there those who worked the field could
tell, perhaps. I have no idea that!
! Messrs. Durham and Wardlaw were!
the workers. They, no doubt, have a!
tenant who looks after the corn.
1 went on to Flint Hill?that is the ;
old Flint Iiill place where the old Peay j
| family lived long ago. I saw some i
; good cotton on "that place. E. F. j

Scenery Surrounding Salada?Description
of a Delightful Resort.
Saluda, N. C., 14 July, 1SS8.?I ;
trust a brief description of this bean- :
tiful mountain resort will not be with- ]
out interest to your readers.
About twenty miles north of Spar- J
tanburg, the traveler over the Ashe- :
ville & Spartanburg Railroad, looking 1
from the car windows, oegins 101
cutch, now on this side, row on that, (
a charming, but fleeting glimpse of the ]
mountains toward which he is swiftly I
approaching, but it is not until the '
train reaches Tryon, some ten miles ;
south of Saluda, that he is actually i
among the everlasting hills. From '
this point, lofty heights, covered with J
an almost unbroken forest, and coming j
down to the verge of the rrilroad ]
track, deep, forbidden cuts, tunnellike
in aspect, solemn ravines, crossed
by embankments so high that the .
the waters swiftly hurl themselves I;
down the mountain side; and above .
J all, the pare, cool, invigorating muuui
tain air, asurc the traveler that he is
{ at last in the heart of the mountains,
j Having traveled through these lovely
i scenes for about seven miles, the train
j otops at Melrose, where an additional
locomotive?kept at Saluda for the
purpose is attached to the cars to Ln.--i.-t
in hqnKnrr tTiorr> np the IflUg,
steep gradelTulii mere tosaluda, three
miles in length, in which distance the
track rises nearly seven hundred feet.
With a sob and strain, exactly as
though living creatures, the two!
engines perform their herculean task;
and finally, with a roar and a pant.
' and blowing clouds of thick, black
smoke, stop at the little village of
Saluda.
Nestled in a valley on the mountain
ridge between Spartanburg and Ashe}
ville, thirty-six miles from either place,
i and surrounded by hills and moun5
tains oil every side, Saluda is fast
. becoming a place of considerable
' 1 ' +TT7Y1
resort. It contains tarec swim,
i commodious hotels, which, we are
j told, are well kept, and are being
t rapidly filled with guesis, a Methodist
church, and about a dozen permaj
nently resident families. The climate
y is superb, iu fact, we learn that scieuy
tific experts have pronounced it the
s finest in the Blue Ridge. Water is
i- clear, ice cold, and abundant. Near
!, the railroad, there gushes out a largo,
id bold spring of free-stone water, whiio
h close at hand is another spring strongly
d impregnated with iron. The temperp
attire in summer is delightful; while

and seem disposed to do ail in their
power to make the summer visitors
welcome and comfortable.
There are now, besides those boarding
at the hotels, thirteen families who
have summer residences here, and
three new cottages are in progress of
erection. Almost every available lot
near the village has been taken np,
and :t is extremely difficult to procure
one, except at a very high price. Away
from the immediate vicinity of the
depot, good building sites are plenty
and cheap. Among the new cottages
is a convenient, two-story, frame
house, now nearly finished, for our
former fellow-townsman, Prof B. M.
Davis, which is situated on a high
bluff, in a charming neighborhood,
and commands a fine prospect.
There are a number of very beautiful
views of mountain scenery to be _
obtained in the neighborhood of this
place. Conspicuous among these
are the views from the residences of
the Rev. Mr. Hallam, J. A. Heath,
Esq., and Dr. Frost. That from Mr.
Hallanrs place is a most charming and
graceful picture. Standing in his
door, we look down into a long valley
about a mile below the point of view,
through which Green Biver meanders,
while, like a bright green ribbon, the
cultivated ground extends on eitne^
rede of tbe stream, wiftenog out at J
Green jSfijeE^evft" afcopt five miles
distant, into a broad,, flat plateau,
which seems about the size of a large
garden, but in reality embraces exten- ?
sive fields. On either side of the
valley rise steep mountains, wooded
to their summits with oak and chestnut,
like giant sentinels, guarding the
peaceful vale below, while in the
background, as far distant as the eye
can reach, rise tier after tier of mountains
bathed in a pale blue mist, until
finally the view dissolves into the
the distant horizon.
The view from Mr. Heath's place is
not less beautiful, perhaps indeed, is
wore so, but it is of an entirely different
character. His cottage is built
upon a very high blnff which overlooks
the country for miles. Standing
in his piazza, we look over the tops of
mountain peaks rising here and there
in great number, and resembling
nothing so much as the mighty billows
Df a storm-tossed sea, suddenly stricken
into immobility; until in the dim
distance the eye" is arrested by the
lofty ramparts of the -Blue Ridge, from
twenty to thirty miles distant. Over
this vast space of mountain top, the
passing clouds cast their ever changing
shadows, and bring now this, now
that peak into bold relief, so that the
scene scarcely ever presents the same
fv\ tho 01th A rain
U-WUiA. *,v/ WUV VVWV4IV* w v^v# ^
storm, passing over these mountain
..ops, presents some of the scene most
Deautifal effects. '
It would tresspass too much upon
v;our space, were we to describe all
t^ese views. BQt prominent in each
uid every one, the Mount Blanc of
ikmiy aJsing, mi 1
fleecy clouds clinging closely to its
sides, is a glorious sight. --
The mountain region ofNorth Carolina
well deserves its reputation as a
place in which to escape the burning
heats of lower lands, and we earnestly
recommend you, should your devotion
to the editorial chair permit you to
spars the time, to visit it, and by no
means to omit Saluda. h. n. o.
