OUR MOUNTAIN TRIP. BT W. L. C. EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: After day of preparation aud eager anticipation, on the morning of the 16th of Au gust, when we had received the fond farewell and well-wishes of friends and loved ones, our party-Mrs. Dr. J. Gk Ducworth, Mrs. C. A. "Welburn, Misses Rosa and Gussie Welborn, Messrs. W. B. McMurtry, Claude Gentry, J. D. Smith and W. L. Casey-started for a ten days' trip among ths beautiful mountains of North and SouU Carolina. "Bail" was put in charge of the "vestibule," and Reid, our colored boy, was to en gineer the local freight through. When we were well on our way to wards historic old Pendleton, a meet ' ing of our little band was held and it was unanimously decided, as a motto and watchword, we would adopt the following: "Free and independent, ' one and inseparable, do .as we please and keep our mouths shut." This was carried out to a letter, and thus to a great degree we owe the big luck I and great pleasure of our trip. After exchanging words with friends in Pendleton, our conductor called out "aboard," and we were once more on . the move. Going along, talking of the places we would visit, and of the sights we would see, before we scarce ly knew it dinner time had rolled around, and it was warmly welcomed by all. And now on the banks and under the beautiful Twelve Mile, and around our little red tablecloth, we were initiated into camp life. Dinner over and a good rest taken we were once more on our way. Having learn ed that we would pass old Pickens C. H., and having heard so much of the old town, .ve wer? pleased to know that we would have a chance of seeing and forming ihe acquaintance of the old lady. Ever anon Miss Gussie . would look out of the car window, (from under the wagon sheet) expect ing to see the steeple of -the court house rising proudly above the sur rounding treetops, but, alas! upon our first.chance of inquiry, Miss Gussie, as well as all of us, wr s sadly disap pointed to know that we had left the old city about a mile behind us, and . had it not been for a wide place in the road, we would never haveremember . ed anything about it at all. After an other few miles ride we turned our at tention to hunting a good place for a stopping place for the night. This was found at the home of Mr. Tom Hun nicutt, and the hospitality of him and his good family we can never forget. After supper was over and we had lis tened to some good music on the or gan, furnished by Miss Rosa "Welborn, in which a French harp played a con spicuous part, almost causing the death of a "dear." we boys enjoyed a night of. sweet repose beneath the shelter of our tent, while our ladies did the same on good beds, given I them by Mrs. Hunnicutt. Every me arose next morning looking fresh and feeling good, and after we had par taken of a nice breakfast of biscuit, ham and hominy, and had bade our friends good-bye, we were off on our second day's journey. Our next stop was at Salem postof fice, and here Mrs. Ducworth started a "postal" back home, only to say that we were in the land of the living enjoying our freedom. Another hour's ride brought us to a little hut, snngly tucked between two beautiful hills. We found this to be the home of Mrs. Wilson, an old lady, who, with her son, lived all alone. On seeing Mrs. Ducworth and Mrs. Welborn out walking, the good old lady came to the road at breakneck speed, and arming them she went marching back to the house. Now, Mrs. Ducworth is Too thing of a talker herself, but thibgood old lady, whose tongue seemed to have been loose at both ends and hinged in the middle, didn't for the first time give her a chance to say "my goose," but nevertheless she came back to the wagon with enough of tomatoes to have started a good-sized canning fac tory, and that load of tomatoes was just what we -were "a'ter." Be:og none the worse off for having been in a mountain cyclone, wc traveled a few miles further when, to our great sor row, we found that we had missed our way and were lost. But to make the best of it possible, one of the crowd suggested dinner, and now, amid un known hillj, where at the foot ran a sparkling little brook, we were soon bent over our little tin plates with a piece of bread in each hand trying to hem up some maple syrup which we had brought with us. This being very welfeaccomplished. after which wc lis tened to the reading of some of Bob Taylor's lectures by Mrs. Ducworth, and then taking a little stroll among the beautiful ferns on the hillsides, to the tune of ''Home, Sweet Home," we were once more on our way, anxious to know what thc evening held in store for us. Well, we were not long in finding out, for after climbing hill af ter hill, eash succeeding one being a little steeper, we found ourselves, just as the sun was casting his rays beyond the Western horizon, on the top of RedHill, just at the foot of Flat Top Mountain. Being anxious to make it to the top of the mountain before pitching our tent for the night, v put botL engines to the "vestibule and started on our way, and whc about half way up the mountain v ran into a washout which threw 01 engines flatrof their backs; the ne: moment a dash for the windows, an out went our passengers. But, forti nately, no one was hurt, and we wei soon on the move again, for we wei soldiers and nothing could stay pr< gress. Another mile put us on toj and to our great surprise, on lookin at the watch, we found it to be eleve o'clock. Seeing that it was imposs: ble for us all to stay together thi night, "Bail," with little J. D., wer left to take care of the good womer white Walter and Claude went back t the foot of the mountain to assis Reid in protecting the local freight for in it was our rations, bedding an? mule feed. Tired and wornout wit our hard day's ride, with the moor beams quivering through the whit pine, and under the song of whip poor-will, we were soon in the land o dreams. The next morning, as the sun wa showing himself in the East, we start ed at the foot of the mountain to gail our friends at the top, and by nin o'clock we had succeeded. Of course after a night of separation, family re union was celebrated when we were one more together. Our little rough ex perience only served to make us mor confiding in each other's fidelity, fo surely every one did their duty in th' hour of trouble. After an hour': drive we came to the home of Mr. Wil Heinchal, whose goc1. wife gave ustbj use of her stove, and now for the firs time since leaving home, we sataroum the table enjying an old-fashioned home-made breakfast of coffee, biscui and streaked gravy. Feeling mucl better after our nice meal, we wer< anxious to be off for Sapphiree, ou: next camping place. Our drive tc this place was a very pleasant one in deed, for it was the first road that w< had traveled that really looked like i had been worked with Anderson Coun ty convicts. We had looked witt pleasant anticipation to our visit t( thc much-talked-of little Sapphire and our imaginary picture was by nc means overdrawn. As we crossed thc beautiful Horse Pasture river and hove in sight of the beautiful little place our verdict was that we had nev er set eyes on a more lovely spot Surrounded by pretty mountains, the grounds beautified with shade trees, flowers and grasses, with the squirrel running on the fences and thc birds singing among the trees, such a place, it seems to us, a queen might envy. It was just the place where the trav eler, in the midst of the beauties o? nature, with pure mountain air to breathe, could rest his- weary form, We remained at this place until Sat urday, and of course we learned as much as possible everything we could concerning the places we visited while here. Sapphire is owned by a rich Northern concern known as the Toxa way Company. They own here in oae body fifty thousand acres of land, and on it they b.?ve established Summer resorts, out of which they aro making their thousand", of dollars. Thus, again, we see the shrewd Yankee, with his big capital, coming into our beau tiful Southland and investing it in a way that we Southerners would never have thought of, and yet we marvel at their great riches. We had the pleas ure of viSiting the old corundum mills and mines here. The mining of the corundum was carried on extensively here for a while, but the depreciation of the value of the product caused the work to be abandoned. We also vis ited the "Marshall Garden of the Gods," so named from its resemblance to the real one so much talked of, and also from the old lady, Mrs. Marshall, who owned it. We boys enjoyed a night of sweet rest after our romp around Sapphire, but we can't say so much for the good women. We will let Mrs. Duckworth give their night's experience. Suffice to say, though, there's some fleas in the mountains. Well, it was our aim to make Sap phire our turning point, but the good mountain people prevailed with us to extend our trip as far as Toxaway, or better known as Hjgback Mountain, which is still five or six miles farther north of Sapphire. So the next morning, Saturday, when everything had been put in readiness, we were soon on our way for this place. Aud now wc want to say for thc benefit of those who have never been to the mountains, as we had never been, that to travel along the road that leads to the top of Toxaway Mountain, that is just wide enough for a wagon, and then looking to your left into a great precipice, so deep that the tops of large trees are scarcely visible to the eye, we say to travel along hythe side of such a place it takes a person with more than ordinary nerves to make the trip without having a spasm or two. Rut our little crowd stood thc wilds of the trip bravely, and by twelve o'clock were standing on the top of beautiful Toxaway, which is five thousand feet above sea level. As we stood wn that mountain, that stands so majestically among her sister peaks, and looked into the beautiful valleys below, we could not but think how in significant are the works of art as com pared to the works of nature, and what a mere speck man is when compare to the Great Architect of the Un verse. The whole of this mountain i owned by the Toxaway Company, an on top they have a nice hotel, an from the tower that stands some 20 c 30 feet above the top of the building with the aid of a glass, one has a fin view of all the surrounding peaks, an on a clear day can be seen the citie of Greenville and Spartanburg. Afte spending a pleasant day on this bean tiful mountain, we returned to camp and from there made our way up t Fairfield Inn, better known as George town Lake, a distance of two and one half miles. Of the several resort owned by this great Company, wit! an expenditure of several hundrei thousand dollars, they have mad Fairfield Inn queen of them all. Th first thing to catch the eye of the vis itor is a pretty artificial lake that con tains about 300 acres, with a beauti ful drivewa}' around it.pForthe pleas ure of the visitors little rowboats ar kept to carry them over the lake. Th seventy-thousand-dollar hotel here i a thing of beauty, and is of moden construction in every way, and i lighted up by electricity. After w< had eaten supper and had taken ? stroll around the lake under "moon beams fair.'' we returned to camp ant were soon in the "land of Nod." Th< next day being Sunday, of course w< all got on a "dike" and made our wa: to the boat-house for a ride. "We pro cured two boats for our little crowd and- our ride across the lake to th< beautiful little waterfalls that com* from the top of Ball Mountain, wai highly enjoyed by all. After taking! walk over the hotel grounds we re turned toTmr camp, where the remain der of the day was spent in recreation until late in the afternoon, when we were once more on the move, this time for Cashier's Valley, which lie; four miles to the west of Georgetowr Lake. All along our way through thc mountains we had been astonished at the low price of buck and gooseberries but everything was made clear whee we saw, on our way to the Valley, hogs gathering them on the shores. W< reached this place about sundown, ano spent a very pleasant night witt a Mrs. Pell. We cannot say so much for the Valley, other than the quie tude of it makes it very desirable, foi them that want to get out from the noise of busy life. We only remained ovei night at this place, for after an ab sence of several days from home, wc were beginning to want to cast our eyes on that dear place again. Karly Monday morning wc were on the road, this time headed for Horse Cove, and it was almost sundown be fore we reached this place. On our way wc stopped and eat dinner in thc famous White Side Cove. This cove .is at the foot of the pretty White Side Mountain, which is 4,900 feet high, and in our opinion it is one of the grandest mountains that we saw on our trip. At Horse Cove we put up for tho night with a Mr. Grundy Hill, who is well-known to a great many of our Anderson County people, for his home is a camping place for almost every one who visits the Cove. We were very agreeably surprised to have Misses Pr?vost, Gilmer and Seal and Mr. Jake Gilmer, of Anderson, who were spending a while at the Cove, come and spend a few hours with us before we left for Highlands. They really seemed like homefolks, and made our stay in the Cove very pleasant indeed. On our way from this place to Highlands we had the pleasure of visiting Kalalanta, the home of the wealthy Henry Edmond Ravinel. We also visited the home of Preloe Ravinel, his brother, whose pretty home stands on the top of Fodder Stack Mountain. We were kindly shown through the house by Mrs. Coffee, the housekeeper, and a finer furnished house we had never seen bfore. While the furniture was old and quaint, yet it was very costly, and the most of it came from Russia. From here we went down by Sunset Rock, and just as the shades of night were beginning to lower, we drove into the proud little town of Highlands. We had pictured this place as one with, perhaps, a store or two, a postoffice and a shoe shop, but behold we found it to bc a thriving little town, with some eight or ten stores, nice residen ces, nice Churches and schools. Not only this, but wc found her people hospitable and refined, and our short stay at this place is one io be long re membered. Thc Cleveland mansion being unoccupied, was given over to us, and beneath its roof, with the balmy breezes of the surrounding mountains to refresh us, we enjoyed a night of unmolested rest among thc native Highlanders. Wednesday we visited Mount Satulhih, which is 4,5.00 feet high, and on the east side it is almost perpendicular. And now, after wc lind visited the most noted places in ond around this little mountain city, wc return to camp, andafterdin ncr is over wc start un our way to Walhalla. In going around Pine Mountain a fine drove of wild turkeys crossed the road in front of us, and in the twinkling of an eye Walter was out on the ground with his gun, and as they arose to fly he brought down a nice young gobbler. Holding his tur key above his head and shouting tri umphantly, he ran into the middle of the road, whereupon the engine to the "vestibule" became frightened, and came near running down the mountain. The passengers made well their escape, with no damage done, except Mrs. Welborn's once Sunday hat left it's crown hanging on a nail as it went through the window. We have pre vailed with her to make the old "vet eran" sue fora pension, and as soon as that comes, as George Taylor says when he's had his "smile" of 80-proof, everything will be lovely. Well, Wednesday night brings us to the Chatooche River, where we spend the night with a Mr. Russell* Here, for the first time, "Bail" found him self in need of a roll of barb-wire and a side-harrow. Will let him explain. The next morning bright and early we were again on the move, and by twelve o'clock we reached the famous Tunnel Hill. For several days we had been viewing the grand worksof Nature, but in looking into this great tunnel, that is about half a mile long, we see the great works of man. To us that tun nel stands as a monument to the he roic effort made by that company to develop up our great South by putting a railroad across the mountains into Tennessee. After we had left noth ing of our turkey but the running gear, that is. when we had eaten din ner, with an hour's ride we were on the streets of Walhalla and West Union. When we had stopped here long enough to visit the jug factory, we went out to the home of our good friend, Mr. Sam Ellison, where we spent our last night together very pleasantly. And, now, the next day, Friday, as we journey along to that dear place where all love centers, talk ing of all we had seen, yet we believed as did the immortal John Howard Payne, that "Mid pleasures and palaces through which we may roam, Beit ever so humble, there's no place like home." As the close of the day was gently approaching we reached these dear homes, to find the loved ones awaiting our return. As we drove back into yard from where we started, what more met our eyes than Miss Bird walking the yard with her hands glued togeth er with wheat dough, singing that pa thetic song, ''What is home without a mother," and the good little doctor, with tears on his cheeks as large as fox grapes, humming a second to it.

"Within thc next 50 years," said a New Orleans architect, "the people of this and every other large Southern city will do most of their sleeping by day. The transformation will be ef fected by cheap lights. Inside the next half century lighting will be so inexpensive, so excellent and so abun dant that it will wipe out the demarca tions of day and night. Darkness is one of the forces of nature against which civilization wages war. It fa cilitates crimes, it impedes travel, it puts arbitrary limits on human exer tion. The time is coming when dark ness will be thoroughly conquered, and thc great cities flooded from end to end with an effulgence that will make every vocation of life as easy and as practicable at one hour as an other. In this lattitude night is un doubtedly thc best time to work-es pecially during our long Summers. The temperature from sunset to sun rise is cool and equable, there is almost always a refreshing breeze, and as soon as darkness is abolished thc people will gradually and naturally reverse thc hours of toil. I venture thc assertion that none in 1955 will sec the streets of New Or leans deserted except for a few mid day roisters and policemen with sun shades. Respectable folks will be abed and asleep, enjoying that de lightful repose which wc now associ ate with au afternoon siesta, some thing, by the way, that should have long ago given us a tip that day was the proper time for rest. Then when thc incandescents of the future blaze forth at dusk, everybody will arise in vigorated and alert and get ready to begin the night's work. It is a beau tiful vision. Whenever I conjure it up I could weep for vexation to think that I was born a century too soon." New Orleans Times. The Candy Cure for Drink. He was munching away vigorously at something when the Saunterercame up. "Have a piece of candy?" he asked, holding out a small 'paper bag filled with caramels, "they are all right." The Saunterer took a caramel and then, knowing that his friend hadn't ever before won any medals for fondness for confections, wanted to know the reason for his new de parture. "I don't mind telling you," was the reply. "I'm eating the stuff just to keep from drinking my usual quan tity of alcoholic beverages." A look of surprise must have parsed over the Saunterer's face, for his friend grinned. "I supposed you'd be puzzled," he continued, "just as others have been before you. It's all simple enough, though. The taste of candy takes away, or, rather, destroys the taste for the liquor I have been so fond of imbibing. I learned that by accident. Had been eating a bit of taffy and met a friend who insisted on buying a drink. I took whiskey, and found that the combination wasn't a pal atable one at all. Justforfun, I next tried beer, audit proved tobe even worse. I had been wanting to stop drinking for a long time, and con cluded if candy would have that effect once it would again. That was two weeks ago. and since then I haven't been without a piece of some '<ind of confection in my pocket. Whenever I feel a longing for a drink coming over me I just slip the candy in my mouth, and that settles it for the time being. Try it whenever you want to swear off. It beats taking the pledge." -Philadelphia Inquirer. Horse Sense. It is peculiarly appropriate that some cold facts about the horse be laid be fore the public at the present time. These will substantiate the assertion that the horse is an animal of extraor dinary little sense-using the word as synonymous with judgment. He has a remarkably delicate perception, coupled with a very slight power of correlation. Ile is, therefore, subject to seizure at any moment with fits of the most violent insanity, induced at the slightest provocation. This, to gether with thc enormous reserve strength of thc animal, makes him an exceedingly dangerous engine to be practically given the freedom of the road in our populous communities. Only familiarity makes the peril seem endurable. It is quite natural that the horse should have a nature so unbalanced mentally; evolved, as he is, from an ancestor who was one of thc most timid of wild animals, possessing no weapons of offence or defence, and, therefore, finding his only safety in flight. He had ever to be on the alert, with his keen senses of percep tion ever tense: ready to urge him into a mad gallop at thc slightest movement, or rustling of a leaf, which, perhaps, might betray the neighbor hood of some lurking beast of prey about to spring upon him and tear his life out with lacerating claws or teeth. IL is no wonder, therefore, that at any unaccustomed sight, noise, touch, or motion thc horse of to-day, in spite of countless centuries of training in the service of man, under the ances tral impulse that dominates his most intensely nervous organization, should still be seized with an ungovernable terror that expresses itself in a mad onward rush whose frightful power is fraught with destruction for every thing about him.'-Automobile Maga zine. Men do not like to go to doctors. Nine times out of ten they wait until they are laid flat on their backs before they will consult a physician. There is some reason in this, for when a business man feels out of sons and goes to a physician, he is often given violent drugs that make him, for a time, unfit for business and really sick. There i~ a way of avoiding both extremes -thnt of neglecting the health and that of taking viok-nt drugs that rack the entire system-it is always to keep on hand a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Gulden Medical Dis covery, ira man will resort to this great medicine whenever he feels that he is out of sorts and threatened with illness, he maj* kee]) in good health.
