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;

(By P. Radford, National Lecturer.)
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.

Negro Huns Into Train.
(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.
