The water is so cool the glass smokes. The rain has i»een too plentiful here, as in Aiken. I l*e!ieve it has rained every day. more or less. Our friend, Robert Chafee, is here, bright and active as ever, and Me. Williams, too. I find friends here from Georgetown, which makes it pleasant; but the bulk of the people are from the West. Everybody ought to sec the moun tains. To one who has never enjoyed the pleasure it is a grand revelation of beauty. Yours truly, P.' A.

GOING NORTH. ..cave Wc had the pleasure of making a visit a few days ago to the farm of Capt. T. W. Whatley, about live miles from Aiken, and inspecting his splen did crop of cotton. HU corn we did not see, but our friend the Captain has some of the finest cotton we have seen for many a day. An interesting feat ure of his farming operations is a sys tem of terraces distributed through his farm, which prevents the hillsides from washing away. By such intelli gent methods as these many a washed hillside may be transformed into pro ductive fields. At a meeting of the Town Council yesterday a committee was appointed to negotiate with Mr. H. F. Warneke ?.w-‘A.37 y/ic'ib.c'.s.'i o f the lot, on Park av enue upon which is situated the small building formerly occupied by Mr. Wright as a shoemaker’s shop. We understand Mr. Warneke will sell to the town for $2,709, although he re fused some time ago $3,000 from a par ty in New York. The intention is to remove the Town Hall from the mid dle of Main street and erect a Town Hall, engine house and market hall on isfactorily furnished by other persons.

Asiiville, N. C., Aug. 13, 18S4. Editor Aikcv Recorder: I arrived here last Friday, and hav ing promised you a letter I have waited to A>t up and feel better. “Pomdc ADflfec their brainsand con sciences very clear antT very caTCTto enjoy rest,” says a popular writer, and a trip over the Western North Caro lina Railroad is not of a very soothing character, especially on a way freight. I left Graniteville at y a. m., arrived at Charlotte, N. C., about 6 p. in., took the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Rail road to Statesville, got there about 10 p. m., stopped that night. This gave me an opportunity next morning to go over the Town, and a pretty thriving little village I found it. I left there on a way freight and got to Round Knob Mountain Hotel in the evening about 6 p. m. The loveliness of the situation at once decided me to stop there for the night. The hotel is new, having been erected during the last year, and is kept- by the former pro prietor of Henry’s Eating House. It is at the foot of the mountain whose name it bears. There is a valley of perhaps ten acres through which rushes a mountain stream, about the centre; on the side of this stream is a fountain playing through about a 3- inch pipe—a perpetual fountain 160 feet high, and they told me that at times 200 to 250 feet, when the season was wet and the wind not high. The hotel has the advantage of the mois ture caused by this never ceasing foun tain, which cools the atmosphere and renders the situation delicious. The proprietor told me he had not seen a ily this summer. I intended to stop several days, but a Mobile gentleman with me persuaded me to leave next morning, and there is a little of the Gipsy in every man’s nature, I be lieve, which is disposed to keep him moving ou. We ascended Round Knob Mountain by winding round and round the mountain, every little while getting back in sight of the fountain, valley and hotel, as we swung up to the top, passing through seven tunnels; but before we got through one the train stalled in the centre of the tunnel, and some fellow having opened the door, the coal smoke got into the car, and the feeling was like what I imagine it is in the neighborhood - of that place which commences with h and ends with 1; lawns 8 to 10 cents per yard; standard shirtings 5 to 6 cents per yard; pants good’s 8,10,12 aud 15 cents per yard; ladies straw’ hat at 25 cents.
