TKII? INTO THE MOUNTAINS. Not Even the August Kains Could Mar tile Pleasures. Coneros8, Aug. 20.-Editor Keo wee Courier: On August 5th I, with by brothers, J. C. and T. D. Barker, and sisters, Misses Lizzie. Beulah and .lessie Barker, accompanied by C. E. DuBose, left home to spend two or three weeks in the mountainous parts of South and North Carolina. On the afternoon of August 5, af ter traveling the always beautiful hills, as wo call them; after viewing the great mountains of North Caro lina and passing the tunnel, we reached the home of W. C. Barker, where we met Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Morgan and John C. and Robert Mor gan, of New Bickens, and Mr. and Mrs. Lesley Morgan and son Ray, of Central, who joined us in our travels. We were greeted with unstinted wel eome and kindness by Mr. barker and his family, and after spending a night at his home we all mixed and changed companions, returned to our wagons and buggies and started on our trip. After we had become wearied from riding, and as it was most time for another meai, we slopped for rest and here began our first experience in cooking over a camp fire. This was very amusing and aroused much merriment at first, but toward the latter pari of our trip it became more disgusting than enjoyable, es pecially when our party became so hearty over roving the mountains that it was hardly possible to cook (Hough to satisfy their appetites. Be ing the one to knead the dough. I came to realize whal the cooks in the mountains have to -'o. Our Slopping place was at the old home place ol Jim Burrell, which in time past had been burned down. There we had plenty of fruit and it was the first time we managed to have plenty of dinner and plenty of large shade trees to eat under, sur rounded by lovelv beds of ferns. Again we started, and just as we mount* d the top of Chattooga Ridge we cou'd stand and gaze over the -whok ctuntry. Especially interest ing wis the view to the southeast, where we could see, as far as our eye would permit, over little hills and towns. After a few miles we came to an old and gnarled, but once pret ty, we are told, black gu m tree which .for a number of years has marked the North and South Carolina line. Soon after this, l am sorry to own, we be gan to notice that the roads were 'better. In the mountains of North Carolina the roads are far better than In South Carolina. After passing through the steep but pretty Heady mountains we pitched our tents at the foot of Terrapin mountain. Sleeping in tents and wagons was a new experience to a number of us, and this was not so eomfortable as our good homes, but afforded us some amusement. On through Cashier's Valley we went. next. There In that beautiful valley, among the many laurels, ferns and greens of all kinds, we could look on Chimney Top mountain and various other noted peaks, and we spent a short time very pleasantly here. On crossing tire great Blue Ridge Mountains at a height of 3,(590 feet above sea level we beheld a small, cool spring whoso waters are divid ed, one stream flowing into the At lantic Ocean and one Into the Gulf of Mexico. Pour miles from Cashier's Valley, in Hamburg District, we beheld a beautiful place on either side of the road by a stream called Trout creek. This place appeared so beautiful to the eye. with Its beautiful spruce pines and it surface lined with green grass, that it made us think it was time to take a rest. We soon do cided to stop and began to spread our dinner, which was already pre pared, and feed our stock. After we had heartily engaged In the picnic part of our day we spent some time fishing and seining, not reaping a great result, but realizing a lot of fun. After we had traveled down the large mountains and through Rocky Valley we struck the Lizzie moun tain, on which we came to the line of a 2,000-acre place owned hy J. M. Morgan at which we spent some time viewing the various mountains around us. About this time we. de cided our stock as well as ourselves needed rest, and we found a suitable placo to camp over Saturday and Sun day. Our chaperon, J. M. Morgan, sug gested thnt wo stop at the home of Hev. W. L. Hooper on top of Tucka seogeo mountain, near the town of Tuokaseegec, and we heartily agreed with him. On reaching tho home, when we met Mr. Hooper, wo met a man of Ood, a man full of the holy spirit, full of kindness and hospital ity. During our stay there he showed us all the welcome any one could ask. Although ho was very low during our stay, he made our visit very pleasant. No doubt while I am penning these lines he is lying cold in his grave. We had, not the pleasure, but an op portunity, of seeing the beautiful walnut colRn he had had made b> his nephew, In which he was to bc laid to rest at his death. Ile was one of our dear old Baptist preachers, with his head white with the frost of many winters, and we all fell in love with him. We could but express the hope that when his life should end, he would be where pleasures never end. Prom this point one could stand and look around, and on either side could see the most beautiful scenery that nature ever made-mountains, one just jieeping over the other, ap pearing as though they were soft folds of plush or velvet. On Saturday we picnicked on Tuckaseegee river, at the foot of Shelton mountain, with several good people of that community, and spent the greater part of the day fishing. In the afternoon a number of us at tended a singing school near by, and we enjoyed it very much. There we found the people. both old and young, alive in music. While at this point our boys proceeded to climb a number of noted mountains, and on Cullowhee they visited the Irage cop per mine. While there a number of them had the misfortune to become entangled in a yellow jacket nest and received several wounds, causing one's face to become swollen so he couldn't seo for nea) ly a day and night. t Therefore he rested the day following while bis comrades pro ceeded to climb mountains and bunt squirrels. Although it was raining, we sneii' Sunday very pleasantly, resting, singing, reading our Bibles and studying our Sunday school les son, and a number of us attended Sunday school in the afternoon at Tuckaseegee Baptist church On the 12th we had reached Sylva the capital of Jackson county, which is a beautiful town. We spent thc day there and passed back througl Cullowhee, which is also a pretty little place, with an excellent schoo! and building, which accommodate) r>00 pupils. On mounting the top of Cullowhee we beheld the beautiful scenery o Tuckaseegee Falls. Near there w< camped again. The night of tin 13th we enjoyed in Glenville, ant about 9 o'clock next morning we be gan our usual journey, going fron there to Lake Fairfield. There th scenery never appeared more beau tiful as we looked on the waters am as we viewed the almost solid rod mountainsides, as the rain trickle down their slopes. Our next vlsi was at Lake Sapphire, with its prett water lilies. Here we stopped fo dinner. Cur last visit was at Whltewate Falls. Its beauty is indescribable Four miles from there we spent th night at the home of Mr. Breedlov< who (as did all whom we met) treal ed us with every kindness and cor sid?ration. The people in Jackso county, North Carolina, and all c the mountains a.: well, are noted fe their hospitality. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan left us an wont to Clayton. Ga., and points 1 the Tenessee Valley. On their wa they visited Whltesido and Hlgl lands. Owing to the continued rains i North Carolina there was quite number of noted points we had plai ned to visit, but could not, and w hastened our return home and sbor cued our stay in the mountains, bi amidst the continued rain our tri was enjoyed to the utmost. Whc we parted from our group froi Bickens, near Salem, we regretted 1 give them up and carried many r membrance^ of our pleasant time ti get ber on this trip. We reached home Saturday evei lng about 7 o'clock, hearty and wei and will ever remember the gor people and the beautiful moontah; ?nd the good, cool spring in lacksr county. Minnie Barker. CITROLAX.

Where there ls a silo there is pros perity. There is not enough of the commu nity spirit among our rural districts. The laws relating to business are wholly unsuited to the tranasctions of the farmer. The waste of effort through Im practical methods of farming is the greatest tragedy of the age. Something is wrong in our market ing system when a small crop brings more money than a bountiful one. Co-oi>eration between practical far mers and proficient business men will eliminate Ignorance and preju dice. The nation's menu must be matte up from the fields, pastures, or chards and gardens, and to farm in telligently the farmer must know what is needed. We must give the same care ami consideration to a system of co-ope rative laws, extending to the farmer the facilities adapted to his business, that is now afforded corporations. Farm tenancy is the greatest men ace now confronting the nation, and can only be checked hy affording the tenant and the laborer facilities for acquiring property, ami hy reducing tho high rates of interest which are now sapping the vitality of agricul ture. I'nder tho present system of mar keting farm products it is posishle, ai. 1 often occurs, that people in one part of tile United States literally starve for the want ol' a product, while the same product in another part of the nation is wasting for want of a market.

(Anderson Mail, Aug. 27.) .lohn Johnson, negro driver of Wehb & Webb's store, was badly bruised and suffered one or two cuts in the face, about ? o'clock yesterday afternoon when he collided with the dirt train of the Hine Ridge railway. Johnson had left his team to deliver some groceries on Bleckley street. It became frightened when the dirt train approached and made a dash across the railroad track, swinging the block against its heels. Johnson saw the horse running and started in pursuit. Evidently he didn't see the train, for he butted against it. He was knocked down and probably rendered unconscious. A few min utes later Dr. J. O. Sanders saw'the negro, picked him up and carried him to Webb & Webb's store. He was badly bruised, and after receiving medical attention was sent to his home lo rec?brate. He will be oui in the next few days. FOLEY KHJNEY >,gi I for Backache, em. 7WlfvT/&^?rv\ Kidneys ?nd WfflSmTT Bladder. Bell's Dru? Store. Wulbai la. S. O. I OFFER Tho Service of my Jersey Ball to th?
