ASSEMBLY GROUNDS j ! About thirty years ago, Arthur R. j( Guerard, M. A., B. S., M. D., of I Charleston, a man of wide culture, j ( great artistic taste and thorough < education, developed at Flat Rock, North Carolina, one of the most beautiful estates in "The Land of ' the Sky." Dr. Guerard was edu- j cated at the University of Heidel berg, Germany, and he called his!" place "Heidelberg Gardens." The J ^ estate contained sixty-five acres of i, i J land, of which area twenty-five acres were thrown into park and gardens filled with "a great variety ^ of trees, shrubs, and vines, with nu- : merous avenues, gravelled walks, t lawns, terraces, flower beds, shady ^ nooks, rustic seat?," and the rest of the "properties" inviting the soul to think of the glory that shall be. The remainder of the estate, containing jj forty acres, was reserved for farm! unH orchard and in the orchard i . there were planted 1,200 apple trees |J now coming into full bearing, and ^ within the charmed circle of this!, wonderful place set down in the J midst of a settlement distinguished j for the intelligence and culture of | ( its people, particularly of the mem-}' bers of its summer colony, the build- ^ er of "Heidelberg Gardens" thought . it all very good. An Academy?a gar den-school?was trie<J With many | courses?preparatory, academic, art ^ and commercial, and with a full body ^ ow/1 /?Awnofont in. U1 CApd ICilVCU aau vvmi^vw?*? ... . structors. The school did not reach \ the success desired by the founder , and was-discontinued. Several chang- i es were made in the uses of the prop erty, and, finally, after ill fortune he could not avert or withstand, the founder felt impelled to abandon the work of his life. I For eight years the place was) closed and last year Robert Spear | Galloway, Editor of the Associate' Reformed Presbyterian at Due West, | and member of a committee of the j A P P fivnnri nf tVio Smith, an- ' pointed to find an assembly place 1 for that "peculiar sect of Christians" as they were called by old Parson Brownlow, heard of "Heidelberg Gardens," that it was for sale and could be bought at a fair price, and, immediately he saw it, he said, in effect, "Here is $1,000 to secure an option on the property" and the ojher members of the committee, orj so many of their number as neces sary, "came-a-running* and the deal was closed and the first $10,000 of the purchase money was paid in cash. The remainder will be paid in two equal annual instalments of $10- j 000 each, bearing interest at 6 peri cent. The name 01 tne place was changed with the change of owner ship, unfortunately, in our opinion, from "Heidelberg Gardens," which meant something, to "Bon-Claken," which means little or nothing, in our opinion, consistent with the digni fied service to which t the property will now be devoted, f "Bon-Clarken" is beautiful for situation. With an elevation of 2, 221 feet above the sea, in the centre of one of the oldest and most cul tivated communities in the country, a region noted for its healthfulness, and within easy reach of the gTeat Southern Railway System, nothing is left to be desired. The main build ing of "Bon-darken" is "a well built, three-story structure in the Swiss style of architecture, covered With cement stucco. The roof is met al; the foundation is brick. It has large double windows on all floors. Broad verandas extend almost en tirely around the house; in all, 4,000 square feet of porch space is avail able." The interior of the building i p in f a mAcf r? n+InKrt a 0 iii citc iiivov ai vioviv | and is supplied with every modern \ convenience. "Bon-darken" belongs to the As sociate Reformed Presbyterian Church. It is to be used as the gathering place for all the confer ences of the Church. The first of the conferences will begin tomoi row and will last for several days. This conference will be followed in rapid succession by other confer ences through the season, and in these conferences the ablest of the clergy and laity of the denomina tion and many of the most distin ? *?' ? - ? /-itVi 1.1 r> f?V?n-rr>liPs will gUlSnt'U men iJ? be heard in the discussion of ques tions affecting the religious life of the land. "Bon-Clarken,' as we have said, belongs to the Associate Reformed Presbyterians, and they got it at a great bargain?$29,000 to be paid in three annual installments?it cc-uld not be reproduced for less than $250,000. The first payment of $10,000 was made upon the transfer Df the property. The sum of $20,000 is due, and will have to be paid in two years. Nineteen members of :he A. R. P. Church underwrote the purchase of the property, their lames being:- Eugene Morrison,, Statesville, N. C.; Rev. W. B. Lind-j say, Charlotte; R. N. Hunter, Char lotte; Captaip 'F< Dulling, King's Mountain; R. S. Galloway and A. S. Kennedy, Due West; J. W. Kirkpat .*ick, Greenville; K. K. Patrick, Fairfield; S. N. Boyce, Gastonia; 2. C.

Johnson, Mem )his; J. H. Wallace, Louisville, Ky; it. A. Willis, Edggmore, S. C. The lolding company of "Bon-Glarken" s entitled, -"Associate Reformed I*resbyterian Assembly Grounds, [ncorporated," with a capital of 530,000 in shares of $100 each. It s not a money-making .concern, lowever, as the shares of its capital jtock, under a somewhat unusual jrovision of the charter, does not nean that the owner of the stock ,s to receive any dividends, but if by my chance the stock should earn lividends, he will be required to airn the dividends back into the treasury of the company. The property was badly run down when the new owners came into pftssession, and so far $20,000 has been spent in repairs and furnish ings. The managers of the place, which is a hotel of first-jate quality, are Mr. J. I. Brownlee and his wife, and the driving force of the under writers is Mr. E. C. Stuart of Bar tow, Florida. This will do for the present, but there is a good deal more to be told. Last Sabbath five visitors could not be accommodated; Monday fifteen requests were made for quarters, but could not be granted. The remain der of this week the place will be packed. The house can take care of over one hundred guests.?Spar tanburg Journal. COTTON CONDITION WAS 64 ON JULY 25 Report' Shows 2 Per Cent Improve ment Here in Month. The condition of the cottbn crop in Abbeville county on July 25 was 64, compared with 62 on June 25. According to report of B. B. Hare agricultural statistician for division of crop and live stock estimates, United States department of agri culture the condition of cotton in South Carolina on July 25 was 60 per cent of normal, or the same as that reported on June 25. The con dition on July 25 last year was 62 per cent, and 77 per cent in 1920. Condition in the entire United States on July 25 was 70.8 per cent of normal, against 71.2 on June 25. The indicated production is placed _ .. ii a a ci n n n l ? ? at llytt*9fVVV Speaking of the report Mr. Hare says: "Condition of cotton in north ern half of State shows considerable improvement as compared with a month ago but this improvement is offset by deterioration in southern half where there has been too much rain for the past two weeks and where boll weevil infestation is more severe. However, it should be noted that the weevil has been reported as being present in every county of the State, though but little damage has been done to date in northern tier of counties." The County Board of Registration met in the office of the Court House today. All members of the Board were present except Mr. J. T. Cheat ham who is still in Columbia. MISSOURI NAMES SENATOR JAS. A. REED Wins Nomination by Five Thousand Votes Over Long in Senatorial Nomination. St. Louis, Aug. 6?With only 81 precincts to be heard from United States Senator James A. Reed to night has a lead over Breckinridge Long of 5,700 votes in the race fori the Democratic senatorial nomina- s tion. p Political observers declared it was impossible to overcome thisjp lead in the SI outstanding precin-1 d cts which are chiefly in rural dis- e tricts where the vote is light. Long made a gain of 500 votes a on the face of official returns from a GO of the 76 voting precincts in St. Louis county (exclusive of St. I jj Louis) but unbiased political ob- jy servers say it is doubtful if the outstanding precincts will be as c] favorable to the former third as- ie sistant secretary of states as are w those from this country. Even if m they are. Reed still would have a lead of nearly 5,000 votes on com plete returns. Returns on the Republican con test for the senatorial nomination indicate R. R. Brewater,s plurali ty over his five opponents will ex ceed 30,000. FOREST FIRE RAGES IN THE NORTHWEST Extend* from Rocky Mountain* to Columbia River.?Many Fire men Fighting It.
