EDITORS : As tho politi cal excitement has somewhat abated, a sketch of a quiet sojourn io the mountains, in the vicinity of Long Creek Baptist Church, may not bo uninteresting to some of your read ers. This church is situated in Pu laski Township, which many of your readers know is in the extremo North western part of Oconco County. Thc Township was named after Count Pulaski, the distinguished Polish patriot and boro of Brandy wine. Count Pulaski having lost his father and brothers in tho hope less dofense of his own country, and being himself out-lawcd, carno to fight for tho freedom of Amerioa. He lost his life in the cause of America and was buried in the Sa vannah river. Long Creek church, thc school district, thc school and postoflico all tako their names from a beautiful ereck of that name in tho neighbor hood. This creek has its sourco in tho Round Mountain and in its me andering course lo the OhattOOgfi river, into which it empties, repre sents thc lotter S. Tho members of Long Creek church bad last year just comploted a splendid new church, when in a short time, and before it was even consecrated to God, it was destroyed by fire. It is supposed to have been thc work of an incendiary. With Christian zeal and perseverance, however, they again went to work this slimmer and have now erected another magnificent building, which is oven superior to the other. It will this time be covered by insurance. Thc church is built upon thc sito of tho burnt building and is an honor to any community. In going from Westminster to that section, ono travols tho Rogue's Ford road and over a ledge of moun tains known as the Brnsstown. Tho scenery along this route is grand, picturesque and romantic. In somo places it scorns a stupendous wild ness. Tho gigantic, trees, tho gor geous rocks, the varied shrubbery, tho deep ravines and sparkling water, all proclaim tho wondrous works of God. Thc highest ono of this ledge is known as Battle Ground Mountain. It ?.'Orives its namo from tho fact that, many yoars ago, when tho Roguo's Ford road was hoing cut out, Sampson and ll?renlos, two of the most noted bullies of tho country, in order to decide which was tho better man of the two, ongaged in a fight on this mountain. It is said, they fought and fought and contin ued lo fight, until finally ono of them, from mere exhaustion, frankly admitted that he had for once met with bin match. On this mountain aro two parallel springs, called tim Brnsstown Double Springs, The water from ono dows from thc North and tho other from tho South. Tho two springs aro ox H^?iy opposite each 0*0.0?, ooo ?rn! oithoi'sido of tho road Hu?* fco mnvrj. it, that, ono while sitting in a buggy, , could with bis whip touob oithor of , them. Ibby both empty into tho ' road nt tho (jamo point and whon ( tho sun is shining tho cleary orystal ' w'.tor ?u it? descent down tho narrow j mountain road preponts tho appear- \ anco of a beautiful sljver ribbon. Rogue's Ford took its ?am? from ' the faot that many years ago that ] part of Pulaski Township formed a part of what, was known as the In- j dian Territory. The country thou was infested by a band of hose 1 thieves who, with {heir stolen horses, ? passed through this torritory and orossod the Chattooga river at Loo's j Ferry, i, .., A more intelligent, iudepondont or hospitable pooplo do not exist than , tho peoplo of tho Long Crook co un- ? try. They rniso no cotton, but mako everything they need at homo. The lands consist of alternate coves and j table lauds v/hich seor.: equidistant. ? While theso coves produeo corn <j equal to tho finest rivor bottoms, i they have none of tho disadvantage? of such bottoms, as thoy novor over flow. Tho table lands aro covered with tho most luxuriant grass, whioh affords sustenance to a great number of stock. In foncing lu thoir pas tures sometimes five or six of thc neighbors will unite in making thoir pastures, while others, who do not raiso much stook, have thoir own in dividual pastures? lu somo of these pastures there aro somotimcs sovoral thousand aores. Among tho prominont citizens of that section may be mentioned Mr. Jonas Phillips and his son Sloan, Messrs. John Hall and Samuel Mathews, Messrs. A. Arve and his son, Augustus, Mo.-srs. J. B. and Jonas Phillips, Jr., Mossrs. James and John Leo and Mr. William Grahl. Th CBC gentlemen, in their kindness of heart, independence of oharactor and genuine politeness foroibly remind ono of the old-timed hospitality. Mr. A. Arve is a Gor man, having oomo from that'country when quite a young man. Ho has a largo and interesting family of boys and girls and belioves in educating them. Mr. James Loo, Sr., is a nativo of Virginia, but ha? for many years been living in South Carolina. Ho yet retains all the hospitality characteristic of thc peoplo of Vir ginia. Mr. William Grahl is of Swedish descent. His father was born and lived during his boyhood near Stockholm in Sweden. In early manhood, with his young wife, he crossed tho ocean and settled in Tennessee, where ho lived, an hon ored citizen, for many years. Aftor his father's death Mr. William Grahl moved from Tonnessoo to North Carolina, whero he lived until six years ago, he carno to Oconce County and bought a farm on the Chattooga rivor. Such a man is a valuable ac quisition to any community. Thoro aro some dcor in that part of tho county, but not near so many as thoro were sonic years ago. Mr. Jonas Phillips says that only a few years ago ho could from his piazza soo as many as three together almost within shooting distance of his house. Rattlesnakes are moro numerous. Some very large ones have been killed this summer near tho residence of Mr. William Grahl, on Chattooga river. One of them was killed by his daughter, Miss Dora Crab!. The young lady was returning from a visit to some friends in the neigh borhood, when seeing tho hugo mon ster in her path, she bravely pro cured a stick and killed it. Mr. John Hall, who lives near Mr. Phil lips, has quite a largo one in a cago. The cago consists of a medium sized dry goods box, securely nailed. In thc top of tho box he has fastened a glass through whioh one can dis tinctly sec tho snake's movements. Mv Hall says that some days ago, on putting a rat into the cage, his snake ship became so enraged that while he was holding tho rat by the tail, it struck it with such forco as to knock tho rat out of his hand. Sinco it was so ungrateful, Mr. Hall lins decided to seo how long it can live without eating. The manner in which it, was captured shows Mr. Rall to have a good deal of pluck. Finding thc snake near his house, be placed a fonce rail gently across his back, ho then cut a forked stick with which he hold its head down,, taking a strong string from his pocket and making a noose in one end threw it ovor tho snako's neck, whon quickly tying the other ond of his string to tho forked stick, he held it at arms' length. But tho harder task yet re mained to bo done, removing the string from around its neck. H. [TO mo CONT?N?RD.] As this is a day of syndicates and trade combinations, il is not improba ble that the farmers' organizations will combino ono of these days and cornor tho wholo cotton pron of the South. It would be a grand scheme and if carried out so as to hold half of tho cotton, it ?vould made things lively. Whnn vnn need anything tn thc Har nos? Hon don't fflll te give wv, a cal!.
