WALHALLA, 8. C. t
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 91. 1903.
A Trip to the Mountains.
All arrangements being finished,
our party-G. N. C. Boleman, J. C.
Watkins, Thoa. Earle, D. W. Wright,
J. R. Earle and W. M. Fennell-left
Walhalla on August 31st for a ten
days' outing in tho mountains of
North Carolina. Boleman and Wat
kins hold the offices of Auditor and
Clork of Court of Anderson county
respectively ; Thos. Earle is recog
nized ns a high private ; Mr. Wright
is a popular young farmer of Green
wood county, while J. R. Earle ard
myself arc Oconee high grades.
Beforo wo get too far from Wal
halla, let us tako a look at Ander
son's officers and compare them with
ours. Ain't thoy small follows?|
Why, they are not at all like ours.
Some of our officers can't look into
a flour barrel, as they aro of such
immense size. It's funny. Ander
son's men represent the "before tak
ing" aud our men represent the
"after taking" class, don't they ? But
wo will give Anderson time and she
will como yet.
As I started out to tell you wc
went on to tho mountains. Wc
made slow time, as it was up hill
most of tho way ; besides, wo got n
lato start. Wc ate dinnei about two
miles beyond the Toll Gate and
watered and fed our horses good, as
they bad been faithful in drawing
us over the hills of "Vashtie."
The party separated then. Wat
kins, Wright and tho writer drove
the buggies to C. M. Ridley's, while
Boleman and the Earles took a squir
rel bunt, Boleman, after making an
unsuccessful search, came up to Mr.
Ridley's, and he (Boleman) and I
took a still bunt (I mean a still squir
rel bunt), but to no avail.
After tho Earles came in with
their grime bags full of emptiness,
we struek camp. Mark, our cook,
spread our supper, consisting of]
loaf bread, butter, salmon, or aliga
tor tail (for it looked too blue for
salmon)-and eating loaf amounted
to about the same thing as lying on
your back RIK1 letting the moon
shine down your throat. It was all
good, though. After we bad finished
our supper we sat on the grass and
enjoyed our cigars and conversation.
Mr. Ridley then invited us to occupy
one of bis rooms, which wc gladly
did. Capt. Earle and myself made
our bed on the floor, and it was only
a matter of a short time until we
were all in tho land of pleasant
dreams. Gentlemen, my dreams
were exceedingly pleasant, as I
dreamed I was in the midst of the
Texas oil fields. I was walking
around with my thumbs bung in tho
arm boles of my vest, figuring, as I
thought, on taking oil stock. I have
been told that what a man eats for
supper makes him dream, but I have
abandoned that idea. If it had been
eating 1 would have dreamed of ali
gator, for I'm sure I ate a piece for
supper. No, sir, I believe its what a
man smells sometimes that makes
him dream. I thought the whole
air was heavy laden with oil, and
sure enough it was, for when 1 awoke
I found Mr. Earle sitting near me
with thc burner and wick out of the
lantern and it lighted, rubbing him
self to kill the chiggers that got on
him while hunting the evening be
fore. Ile came very near being
burned. I asked him what was the
matter, and he said, "I'm killing
tirane blamed chiggers." I turned
over and went back to sleep, but
didn't dream any moro that night.
We all arose early next morning.
There was a stiff breeze blowing
from the east, with the sky covered
with broken clouds. Wc ate break
fast and started out on another day's
journey to no particular place. We
went up as far as Round Top,
stopped and fished and hunted some.
I was walking alone in an old field
with my gun, expecting to flush a
drove of turkeys or some other large
game at any moment, but I had
nothing to show when I went back,
but nirio rattles from an old rattle
snake. I'll just say right here, too,
that I did not tako them off during
the snake's natural life, either.
Wo woro very much pleased to
have Major Stribling join us here.
At length wo decided to drive on
further. Wo drove slowly, as some
of our party walked and hunted on
tho way. At length wc crossed the
rushing waters of tho picturesque
Chattooga. Wo drove some two or
three miles into Rabun county,

Georgia, had our dinner cooked, and
ate another hearty meal, after which
we hooked up aud started out,
headed for Horse Cove, N. C. We
saw some very pretty mountains on
our way, and some of them -'.v^re be
ing cultivated in cern, {bough it
didn't look like a mau oould stand
on them long enough to make a
crop. Why, I verily believe you
could ;-tand on one of those bills and
throw and ear of oom a quarter of a
mile. We drove on, though, and
loft the peoplo who made the oom to
gather it, but I don't know how they
will manage to do it.
We camped in Horse Cove, almost
in the shadow of the grand Black
mountain. Just stop and imagine,
if you can, ye lovers of the beautiful,
a broad level plain cut up in seotions
and made into pastures and fields.
Tho pastures aro dotted with grazing
oattlo ; the fields are yet green with
the growing corn ; a pretty stream
winds graoofuily through the grand
savannah, which flows into an artifi
cial lake.
Horse Cove is almost completely
surrounded by great mountains, of
which Black Rook, Tullnsaga, Sa
tulla are thc most prominent. In
the Cove we found neatly built cot
tages, with driveways, pretty lawns.
An ideal place to domicil?ate.
I left camp with my gun to try my
hand onoo more hunting squirrels,
but with tho usual results. I could
not iiunt for looking at the country
round about, lt wao getting late
when 1 returned. All the rest of
tho party had como in, so we ate
supper and were entertained by Maj.
Stribling and Mr. Watkins telling
some of their school boy tricks. We
also had a solo by Thomas Earle,
which added muoh to the occasion.
After much merriment we retired to
experience a night under our tent in
tho woods.
Next morning found Mr. Wright
quite unwell, and in spite of all we
could do ho returned home. Poor
fellow ! wo hated to soo him leave
us. I know ho missed the trip of
bis life.
Messrs. Stribling, Watkins and
myself fished while tho others wont
for a hunt. Did you ever go wading
and fishing at the sarao time? I
certaiuly did enjoy it. The water
was so clear you could see tho trout

RYDALES TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Mnlaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Ryclale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from tho blood all poisonous matter
and mpkes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap

darting by like arrows. The stream
waa a series of shoals and there were
many rocks to step on. Some of
them you have to jump to reach,
and I found in jumping from one to
another, one should bo pretty well
up on trigonometry, as you have to
study anglcH so as to land safely. I
was getting along nicely with my
angles, triangles and parallelogams,
when ray foot slipped off of a mossy
rock and one of ray angles #ot a
numbing. See? Trout fishing is
the most fascinating sport I ever in
dulged in. We returned to camp
(Watkins and I) and found all off
some where hunting, as usual. I
saddled ono of our horses and took
a quiet canter through the Cove to
take a farewell look at tho pretty
plaoe. v
From herc we decided to start for
Cashier's Valley, which is some eight
miles from Horse Cove, or Victoria.
Major Stribling very kindly gave me
a seat with bira in his buggy, since
mine had to go homo with our sick
comrade. I found it quite a nice
drive over the eastern slopes of these
mighty bills of Western North Car
olina. The Major knows all the
mountains of especial note and took
great pleasure in pointing them out
to me as wo drove along. Pm
afraid I rendered myself a little ri
diculous in making remarks about
scenery and the effect it has on one
who vs just being initiated. When
wc came around in plain view of
Whiteside, tho monarch of the
mountains well, my pen is too feeble
to describe it. I'll pass it up to the
Major and ho can tell you what I
.?aid.
As we move on at our leisure, wc
como to tho pretty Grimshawe home.
Wc saw some fine looking milk cows
at this place. The Major pointed
out to mo tho Grimshawe museum,
which, I judged, from what ho said,
holds relics of overy description,
from a rattlo off tho end of tho
devil's tail to an empty dispensary
bottle. Owing to lack of time wo
didn't go through it.
We crossed Chattooga once more,
topped a few more bills and entered
Cashier's Valley. Entering tho val
ley we pnssed thc Hampton home. It
W?H built by th" lamented Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina.
You can't find a more level road
in South Carolina than the one lead
ing through the valley. We stoppod
and struck camp in a nice, quid,
grovo, where wo stayed tho re
mainder of tho week. Our next
start was made by sunup in two
squads, in search of prey. Tho
Earles and myself composed one
squad, and Holeman, Watkins and
Stribling the other. My party wont
to Sheep Cliff. This name was given
to this mountain on account of ?is
A WOMAN'S PRAYER.
It is uotable that in the despondency

to many a suffering woman no way of

having a large sheltering rook, nuder
which many sheep oan and do shel
ter. I sat on this rock and wondered
if A. M. Toplady was sitting on this
same rook when ho wrote the protty
hymn, "Rook of Ages, Cleft for
Me," my favorito hymn. Standing
on the northern bench of Sheep
Cliff you can view the wholo of
Hamburg or Glennvillo. Tho wator
that Hows down the northern slope
of this mountain runs iuto the Gulf
of Mexico, and that from the South
ern slope goes into tho Atlantio
oooan. Sheep Cliff is the center of
tho Blue Ridge range. I was stand
ing on the very top of tho tiling, so
to speak, looking south and listening
to tho almost obiming cow bolls in
the valley below, and Bomewbat loBt
in reverie, when J. R. Earle came
walking up, and, patting mo on tho
shoulder, asked : "What do you
think about his Santanic Majesty
telling our Saviour that if he bo the
Son of God to cast Himsolf down
from off tho high mountain, just like
this." I replied, "lt's just like the
devil or some of biri army to think
of such a thing." Mr. Earle shrug
ged his shoulders and walked on.
Wo almost had to coon this moun
tain, it was HO narrow.
Wo went on and on until wo
reached the top of Laurel mc.untain,
so called on account of tho dense
laurel that crown this peak. We
passed over acres and acres of ferns,
gooseberries and huckleberries. Just
think of walking through ferns waist
high, nearly all day. I thought of
how our lady friends at homo would
enjoy these pretty fern*, and how I
gathered some little ferns off the
Issaquena Falls, at Tunnel Hill, the
past summer for a pretty young
lady to transplant.
Wo again separated, some going
ono way and some another, and I
must have gone tho other, for it
wasn't long until I was out of sight
of * either of the Earles, and I
thought from the surrounding coun
try that I was just about a hundred
miles from anywhere. I was very
uneasy about my friends for fear
they would wander off and get lost
and not got to go with me to tho
camp. I knew I would go sooner or
later, anti was afraid it would be
later. I sat down on a shady rock
to look for them. I have always

slant to the east when wo turned
our faces homeward, or tentward.
Wo walked and walked until we
were at tho foot of Sheep Cliff once
more. Our shoes had becomo very
bleak from walking in the dry leaves,
and wo would go up ono step and
down two stops. Wo soon saw that
wo would novor reach tho tent at

don't believe you could see an ele

The day's tramp ended we weutj
to bed once more, with the intent ?on
of going to Whiteside in the morn
ing. We got an early start and
went'by way of the Ravenel Turn
pike, a pretty road, graded BO per
fectly around some poworful moun
tains, that it is almost down hill to
the top of Whiteside, which standt
at an altitude of 5,000 and some'
hundred feet above /noa level. I
wish our board of county commis
sioners could all Bee this perfect
road. The roads in this part of
North Carolina aro a orodit to any
roads in Ouonoe county. We need
no line between the States. You
oan tell the very minute you orossl
the line by our miserable and shame
I fully kept roads. We reaohed the
summit of the klug of the range,
Whiteside. We had to pass through
j "Fat Man's Misery" to make the
assent. It is a narrow ovevioe be
tween huge rocks, almost impassable.
Our grown men, of whom wo spoke
ut. thc outset, could not pass through
'Fat Man's Misery. Sitting on this
pretty mountain and looking ut the
many minor peaks, one becomes more
[oonsoious of tho groat power of God,
made so manifest by so great a pano
rama of stone oapped peakB. Wo
return thanks to God for the sense
of sight, as we behold these things,
though very nearly, if not quite, sur
passing all human comprehension.
Many of tho most notod mountains, j
among which were Toxaway. Terra
pin, Sassafras, Chimnoy Top and
many others which I haven't space
to mention, were pointed out to mo.
Terrapin was named on account of a j
very large terrapin that was oaptured
there many years ago by some young |
adventurers. It is now in the zoo
logical gardens in Now York.
Our timo hoing up wo mndo our ]
descent, to scale no moro of these
lofty heights. Wo took a last whirl
ing glnnco and turned our backs on
this pretty "Utopia." The peoplo
we mot with are a kind and hospita
ble people. Their chief products
aro corn, rye, oats, hay, Bheep, cattle
and hogs. There are some curious
looking hogs np hore. ' They are
very oui, it seems, as it is not uncom
mon to seo moss growing on some of
their backs. I don't know what!
breed they are, unless they aro the
moss back breed-not "fat back."
One more night being pleasantly
spent, wo started out for home,
though on our way wo killed some
more game and caught more trout.
Afternoon we journeyed on and
reaohed our homes about 12 o'clock
Saturday night. With a sigh wo
extended the parting hand, and
with best wishes from all to all we
parted. Thus ended ono of thc
most enjoyable wocks of my life.

Unless promptly treated a weak heart will

this deadly malady, the roost common cause
of sudden death. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure will

suffered so severely and becanu so weak
that my doctors said I could not live thirty
days. At this time I had not slept over two
hours a night on account cf nervousness.
The least exercise, such as walking about,
would bring on palpitation and fluttering ot

American Republic Drifting Toward Monarchy.
Dallas, Texas, October li.-Judgo J.H.
Rengan said in an luterview to-day:
"I do not want Texas divided into five |
stairs, as the annexation agreement per
mits. Texas should never he divided.
Tho American ropublio is doomed. The I
dissolution of this union of States is \
sure to come in my opinion and be suo
ooeded by a monarohy. We aro rapidly
drifting toward monarohioal form of
government. I want Toxas to be big
ouougb to st an-' alone, to once more be
tho ropublio of Toxas. When the day
of monarchy arrives to tako tho place of
this un'ou of states, Texas will some
day have 30,(XX),OOO more people, at least,
than are now in tho State. There should
bo no division. Let Toxas romain largo,
strong and freo. The hope of a free
fiooplo and a ropresontativo ropublio is I
uvolved in this condition.
Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble.
Honrt troublo is almost always caused
by stomach trouble. The stomach fails I
to digost all tho food, and tho residuo
ferments, forming excess of gas whioh
distends tho walls of tho stomach, caus
ing a pressure on tho nerves and arteries
that lead to tho heart. This causes tho
heart to palpitate or skip a beat occa
sionally, or both, which ls usually very
alarming, causing grave apprehensions.
Rydalo's stomach Tablets will prevent
this troublo. They digest tho food and

One of the most daring bank rob
beries in Illinois was committed last
Wednesday at Berwick, that State.
Four mon, armed to the teeth, in a
wagon, drove to that town and en

big safe with dynamite and secured
$2,800 in cash. The robbers drove
off in an easterly direction and made
their oscape.
"Hore is something worth know
ing," says an oxchango. "When a
splintor has been driven deeply into
your hand it can bo extracted with
out pain by stoam. Nearly fill a
wide mouth bottle with hot water,
then place the injured part over the
mouth and press tightly. The suc
tion will draw tho flesh down and in
a minute or two the steam will ex
tract the splinter and tho inflamma
tion together."
After tho first day of January thoie

League is vory much encouraged by tho
rcsnlt of tlie rccont elections, at which
ten of the towns in tho Stato voted
out the saloons. That is local option,
and that, it nooma to us, is the best way
of regulating|tho whiskey business. It
will be a san day for North Carolina if
tho South Carolina plan of conducting
tho whiskoy tradn shall ho adopted.
