ME. EDITOR : I am an old time

Gaines^ of Grecnicood Cour?t/, or
dering tho Democratic Executive
Committee of JSdgefield County to
assemble at Edgefield, on the 2nd
August to appoint managers of
election, <!ce. It is bad onough to
think poor old Edgefield has to be
represented in tho State Senate
by a Greenwood county man, and
that ono of our members of the
House must also be a man from
Greenwood count}-. But for the
grand old Edgefield Democratic
Party to be at the beck and call
of an alien is too bad. It is not
right. It is not Democratic. It is
too bad! A disgrace to the proud
Democratic Party of Edgefield!
A shame on us! And Mr. Gaines,
of Greenwood, ought to have more
respect for old Edgefield Democ
racy, if he has no respect for him
self, than to longer persist in
holding the Chairmanship of
Edgefield Democracy. Hoping
that tho Greenwood gentleman
will have the manhood to resign
tho position on Monday next, I am

Brevard is a revelation to all

advantage is that ?he valley stretch

themselves an effectual barrier,
thus shielding the town from the
ice-laden winds- from the north.
To the home, health and pleasuro

good, before inaccessible because
of want of raiload facilities, but
since the Brevard & Hendersonville
railroad is now open to the world,

form, while to the north the Pisgah
and Bislsam ranges rear their
towering peaks. The French
Broad and its tributaries, wi th the
Davidson River flow through broad
and fertile valleys, and Little
River on- the east furnishes a
series of valuable water power.
One great advantage possessed by
Transylvania county it does not
lie in the path of the cyclonic
storms which cross the lake rpgions
of the north, nor do the sub
tropical storms which move up
from Florida come near it. Shel
tered on every sido by tall mountain
ranges destructive storms are
never experienced.
Brevard is the county seat 'of
Transylyania. It bas a population
of 600, and rapidly increasing.

telephone connection wi'.h the
Western Union Telegaaph service,
brings it in touch with the busy
world. Neat and comfortable
church buildings offer to all an
opportunity to worship ea.h
according to his own special creed.
The Epworth School of the M. E.
Church, South, is a flourishing
institution, located here, and ii
accomplishing a work destined
to bear fruit to all eternity.
This is the original "Laud of the
Sky," for it was here that the gifted
writer, under the inspiration boru
of the exquisite surroundings first
coined the expression and baptized
with its irame this wonderful laud
of beauty.
To the fruit grower this is a
true paradise. M. J. Orr's
nursery is well stocked with the
finest trees adapted to this locality.
The fla vor and size of his apples
equal any raised on the contine^
UH rs Northwest of Brevard.
Small fruits ripen late but
grow to perfection, The blackberry,
grspe and strawberry grow wi d,
while on the mountain lop the
Huckberry grows in abundance,
very large and delicious.
The soil of the valleys is a rich
loam, producing abunpaul, crops
of cereals, grassos, tobacoo and all
farm products, in fact everything
grown in the United States as
market crops, except cotton and
rice grow to perfection. The billy
upland is adapted to trucking.
For stockraising here is found
all coudilions necessary for its
perfect success. "Horses ?md
horned cattle," Kays Oren. Cling
man, in one of his publications!
"are usually driven to tho moun
tains April 1 and brought back in
November. With in a few weeks
after they havo been put on the '
range, they become fat and sleek.,'
There are, however, on the top
and along tho sides of the moun
tains evergreeu and winter grasses,
on which horso8and horned cattle
live well through the entire winter.
Such animals arc often foaled and
reared there until f t for market
without ever geeing/ a cultivated
plantation."
This county is already penetrat
ed by one railroad ?nil another is
in contemplation-besides its rich
mijiiug possibilities and timbers,
it offers one of the^finest fields for

FORESTS.
The mountain region has the
advantage of possessing au almosl
unbroken forest. In comparison
with the extent of forest lands the
clearings- are mere patches, and
there is'no where iu the state an
equal area of land covered with
timber trees of such varied kinds.
The great bulk of timi e.- growth is
of the deciduous hardwood .species.

SAPPHIRE.
In the southern section of the
county Sapphire, go named from
the mines of corruudum, and the
few places in the world producing
iu quantity this crystal. In 1S93
the product was over 400 tons of
material, one-fourth of which was
nearlycorrundum crystal. Situated
at an altitude of thirty-three
hundred feet, having a climate
better than can be found at any of
the northern resorts it is destined
in the near future to be the ideal
spot LOX seekers after health and
pleasure. The Toxaway company
are rapidly developing 50,000 acres
of land to be devoted to an all-the
year round resort and fish and
game preserve. Splendidly graded
roads lead to the top of Hogback
mountain, the view from which
once seen is never forgotten.
Hotel and cottage accommoda
tions amply provide for the comfort
of guests, and lovely water-falls
offer to the tourist pleasures once
enjoyed, and sure to be sought
after again.
Telephone connection with the
outside world adds all that could
be desired in this world of beruty.
SCENERY.
Within a radius of a day's drive
from Brevard one can visit many
places which cannot fail to fill the
soul will) wonder. Leaving
Brevard, in less than a milo we
reach the noted French Bread
river. Along its shaded banks
our way lies amid scenes of
constantly shifting attractions.
The swelling upland is all aglow
in floral beauty, and the fence
rews are decked with goldenrod
that nods and bends in graceful
curves, "while the piping of the
quail amid the com,'' the whirr of
the startled pheasant and the
warbling of Ibo feathered songsters
add a charm not to ho forgotten.
Three miles from Brevard we
come to the Maiden Hair Falls. In
a gorge in the mountains shaded by
stately poplars and darkened by
the evergreen spruce and white
pine, the waters of Hoghead creek
awake the melody of tho woods by
plunging over a precipice forming
a'waterfall of pleasing effect.
Four miles from Brevad, spring
ing abruptly from the valley,
Dunn's Rock raises its' granite
head 433 feet in the air. Following
a well worn path one gains the
summit and there the view amply
repays for the exertion. As a
landscape garden tho ''alley lies
out. before you, and the French
Broad river like a silver thread
form* a five pointed ?tar as the
winding wanding waters gfeal on
ward iu. their march to the sea.
In th? distance-the Smojcy moun
tains are ?Gen blending with the
sky, li?gah, Tennessee Ball, Devi's
Court House and Hogback claim
your intention, and the mountajn
breez?, stooping low in the valley,
kissei the blushing flowers and
rushing up the steep sides of the
rock comes pei fame laden ,and
refreshing.
Su miles fr>m Brevard, Cm
uestee Fulls greets y >u with a
welcome. Here are two fal U, the
one directly opposi'e and facing
the other and plunging into the
same chasm where they form a
third. Conneetee, in sunshine
clad, on the brink seems to hesitate.
Gazing with a timid glance she
sees her bridgt goom across the
chasm, and ringing with a merry
shout she leaps to meet him, and
then the two wedded as one, with
a roar of voices like water nymphs
singing their roundelays, rush on
amid the wooded slopes to reach
the valley.
Little River with its great number
>f falls is sure to attract all comers.
\Ve come first to the Bridal Veil
falls-rightly named. One can
?valk dry =hocl under the rive.' bed
ind where the cool winde blow,
.Hand mid listen to the river
overhead aa the foam lashed waters
pour at hie Feet-ou a small scale
i veritable Niagara.
A sher! dis!ance down the river
the Triple Falls qext present
themselves. These falls are near
together, each rivaling the other
.n attractions, while still further
lown I he High Falls show
hemsehes a thing of beauly. On
he banks of the river the
mountains are clothed with laurel
Montcloue Faim, the home of
and rhododendron, while a wealth
of timber awaits the coming de
maud. Along the turnpike road the
river rushes over lapids destined in
the near future to be ullized by
man for driving machinery.
Three miles from Breva rd we
reach Davidson River, or as the
Indians knew it. Ecusta, the
galloping waters. Hore the
magnificent dam of R. E. Patton's
mill harnesses the entire power
of the stream. Going up the. river
by a most delightful driveway
crossing and recrossing it through
the loveliest of fords we come to
Looking Glass crook. Back in a
gorge and screened from the sun
by leafy curtains the creek pours
ovei a precipice 70 feet high

from Brevard, and these are fallH

Just below the confluence of

thence the road winds its way to

The afi ructions at Caesars Head

TlieBen?fit8 of Water-Drinkl njr.
It is possible to prevent prevent
many difieases and cure others by
drinking large quantities of water.
An eminent Freuen physician says
that typhoid fever can be water.
He gives his patients eight or ten
ounces aa hour of sterilised water.
Experiments have bean made wi lb
diseases caused by bacteria, which
demonstrate the curative power of
water. In cases of cholera, where
the system secretes a large amount
of fluid, enormous quantities of bot
water are of great beu?fit, aud will
cure many cases without other
medicinen. One doctor says that
perfectly sweet, fresh cider, taken
in large quantities has been known
to cure cases of bowel complaint.
The acid kills the bacteria, which
are speedily thrown out of the
system. Hot water, in fevers, ig
of great use, and an ordinary
tumbler full of water, as hot as can
be taken, once an hour, is one of
the very best remedies. The
important thing is to put into the
system and out of it a sufficeut
quantity of water to prevent the
;icoumulation of ptomaines and
tex nes within the body-New
