/OUR MOUNTAIN TRIP. UV W, I. < . Ki ?rr ?it IxTKLi.if'EXi'KU: Aftcrdays of preparation and eager anticipation, on tho morning ff thc Kith (if Au gust, when wc haii received tin- fond farewell and well-wishes of friends ami loved ones, our party--Mrs. Pr. .l.C. Ducworth, Mrs. C. A. Welburn, Misses Rosa and (?ussie Welborii, Messrs. \V. I>. McMurtry, Claude ??entry, A. D. Smith and W. L. Casey-started for a ten days' trip among tits beautiful mountains ol' North and Sout.i Carolina. "Bail" was put in charge ol' the ''vestibule," and Poid, our colored boy, was tu en gineer th?' )<ic;il freight through. When wi: 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 wc please and keep our mouths shut." This j was carried out to a letter, and t!iu> to ii great degree we owe the 1 ?iir luck and great pleasure of our trip. Alter exchanging words with friends in Pendleton, our conductor called out "aboard," and we ?vere once inure on thc move, tining nlong, talking of thc places we would visit, and ol' the sights we would s'v, before we scarce ly knew it dinner time had rolled around, and it was warmly welcomed by all. And II JW OU thc banks and under the beautiful Twelve Mile, and around our little red tablecloth, we were initiated into camp lifo. Pinner over and a good rest taken we wer?; once more on our way. Having learn ed that we would pass old Picketts C. II., and linville heard ?o much of the old iii.vu, \>- vt-!,- pleased to know that 've wu.ihl have .1 chance of seeing and form tit:: Hie acquaintance of the old lady, liver anon Miss (?ussie would look out of the ear window, (from under the wagon sheet I 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 (?ussie, as well as all of us, w 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 have remember 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 bis good family we can never forget. After supper was over and we hud lis tened to some good music on the or gan, furnished by Miss llosa Welburn, iu which a Fronch harp played a con spicuous part, almost causing tho death of a ''dear." wo boys enjoyed a night of sweet repose beneath the shelter of our tent, while our ladies did thc same on good beds, given thomby Mrs. liunnicutt. livery mu 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 ott 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 wc were in the land of the living enjoying our freedom. Another hour's ride brought us to a little hut, snugly tucked between two beautiful hills. We found this to be thc home of Mrs. Wilson, an old lady, who, with her son, lived all alone. Unseeing 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 some thing of a talker herself, but this good 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 wc -were "a'ter." Peing none the worse off for having been in a mountain cyclone, we traveled a few miles further when, to our great sor row, we found that we had missed our way and were lost. Put to make the best of it possible, one of thc crowd suggested dinner, and now, amid un known hills, whore at the foot ran a sparkling little brook, we were soon bent over our little tin plates with a piece of brea! in each hand trying to hem up some maple syrup which we had brought with us. This being very welKnecoinplished. after which we lis- | tened to the reading of stum; of Bob Taylor's lectures by Mrs. Ducworth, and then taking a little stroll among the beautiful ferns on the hillsides, to thc tune of "Home, Sweet Home," wc were once more 00 our way, anxious to know what the evening held in store for us. Well, we were not long in finding out, for after climbing hill af ter hill, ea3h succeeding one hoing a little steeper, wc fpund ourselves, just as thc sun was casting his rays beyond the Western horizon, on the top of Redlli??, just at the foot of Flat Top Mountain. Being anxious to mako it to the top of the mountain before pitching our tent for the night, we put bulli engines to thc "vestibule" and started on our way, and when about half wai' up thc mountain wc ran into a washout which threw uur engines flatrof their backs; thc next moment a dash for thc windows, and out went uur passengers. Hut, fortu nately, no une was hurt, ami wc were soon on the move again, fur wc were soldiers and nothing could slay pro gress. Another mile put us on top, and tu our great surprise, on looking at thc watch, wc found it t" he eleven o'clock. Seeing that ii was impossi ble fur us all t" stay together thal night. "Mail," with little J. 1)., were left to take care of the good women, white Walter and Claude went back to the foot of th'' mountain to assist Kcid in protecting the local freight, lor in it w.i> our rations, bedding and muir feed. Tired and womout with our hard day's ride, with the moon beams ijuivcriiig through the white pine, and under thc song of whip poor-will, wc were soon in thc land of dreams. The next morning, as the sun was showing himself in the Mast, we start ed at tho foot of the mountain to gain our friends at thc top, and by nine o'clock we had succeeded. Of course, after ;i night of separation, family re union was celebrated when we were once more together. Our little rough ex perience only served to make UH more ccnliding in each other's fidelity, for surely every one did their duty in the hour of trouble. After an hour's drive we came to the home of Mr. Will Ileiuchal, whose, good wife gave us the usc of her stove, and now for thc first time since ieuviug home, wc sat around the table cnjyiug au old-fashioned, home-made breakfast of coffee, biscuit and streaked gravy. Keeling much better after our nice meal, we wert anxious to be oil" for Sapphirce, oui next cam pi cg plaeo. Our drive tc this place was a very pleasant one in deed, for it was thc first road that wi had traveled that really looked like i had been worked with Anderson Couti ty convicts. We had louked will pleasant anticipation to our visit ti the much-talked-of little Sapphire and our imaginary picture was by ni means overdrawn. As we crossed tin beautiful Horse Pasture river am hove in sight of the beautiful littl place our verdict was that we had nev er set eyes on a more lovely spot Surrounded by pretty mountains, tb grounds beautified with shade trec. flowcrs and grasses, with the squirrt running on thc fences and the bird singing among the trees, such a place ii seems to us, a queen might envj Il was just tho place where the tra\ clor, in tho midst of thc beauties c nature, with pure mountain air t breathe, could rest his weary furn Wc remained at this place until Sa urday, and of course wc learned ti much as possible everything we coul concerning the places wc visited wht! here. Sapphire is owned by a ric Northern concern known as the Toxi way Company. They own herein or body.fifty thousand acres of land, an ou it they have established Sutmm resul ts, out of which they aro makir their thousands of dollars. Thu again, wc see thc shrewd Yankee, wit his big capital, coming into our bea t if ul Southland and investing it in way that we Southerners would nev have thought of, and yet we marvel ; their great riches. We had the plea ure of viSiting thc old corundum mil and mines herc. The mining of tl corundum wus carried on extensive here for a while, but thc dcprcciatii of tho value of the product caused tl work to be abandoned. We also vi ited the "Marshall Garden of t (rods," so uauied from its rescinblan to the real ono so much talked of, ai also from the old lady, Mrs. Marsha who owned it. We boys enjoyed night of sweet re9t after our ron around Sapphire, but we can't say much for thc good women. Wo w let Mrs. Duckworth give their nighi experience. Suffice to say, thoug there's some fleas in thc mountaii Well, it was our aim to make St phire our turning point, but the go mountain people prevailed with us extend our trip as far as Toxaway, better known tts II igback Moonta which is still five or six miles fartl north of Sapphire. So the nt morning, Saturday, when evcrythi had been put in readiuess, we wi soon on our way for this place. A now we want to say for thc benefit those who have never been to f mountains, as we had never been, tl to travel along the road that leads tho top of Toxaway Mountain, that just wide enough for a wagon, n then look:ng to your left into a gr precipice, so deep that the tops large trees are scarcely visible to eye, wc say to travel along by the s of such a place it takes a person w more than ordinary nerves to make trip without having a spasm or t Hut our little crowd stood the w of the trip bravely, and by tw< o'clock were standing on thc to? beautiful Toxaway, which is thousand feet abovo sea level. Ai stood en that mountain, that sta so majestically among her sister pei andjjiHiked into thc beautiful val below, we could not but think hon significant are tho works of art ase pared to the works of nature, *nd v a mere speck man is when compared to the Great Architect of the I'ni vcrse. The whole of this mountain is owned hy the Toxaway Company, and on top they have a nice hotel, and from the tower that stands some 'JO or :J0 feet above thc top of the buiidiug, with the aid of a glass, one has a fine view of all the surrounding peak?, and on a clear day can be Been the cities of Greenville and H parta nb ur;:. After spending a pleasant day on this beau tiful mountain, we returned to camp, and from there made our way up to Fairfield Inn, better known as George town Lake, a distance of two and one half miles. Of the several resorts owned by this groat Company, with au expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars, they have made Fairfield J ri ti queen of them all. The 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 driveway around it.rForthe pleas ure of the visitors little rowboats arc kept to carry them over the lake. The scvcnty-thousand-dollar hotel here is a thing ol' beauty, and is of modern construction in every way, and is lighted up by electricity. After we had eaten supper and had taken a stroll around the lake under "moon beams fair.'' w.e returned to camp and were soon in the ''land of Nod." Thc next day being Sunday, of course we all got on a "dike" and made our way to the boat-house for a ride. Wc pro cured two boats for our little crowd, and our ride across the lake to thc beautiful little waterfalls that come from the top of Hall Mountain, was highly enjoyed by all. After taking a walk over tho hotel grounds we re turned tot?ur camp, where thc remain der of the day was spent in recreation until late in the afternoon, when wc were once more on the move, this time for Cashier s Valley, which lies four miles to the west of Georgetown 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 whet: wc saw, on our way to the Valley, hog.1 gathering them on the shores. Wt reached this place about sundown, ant spent a very pleasant night wiri a Mrs. Pell. We cannot say so mucl for the Valley, other than the quie tude of it makes it very desirable fo them that wanttogetout from the noisi ol' busy life. We only remained ovc night at this place, for after au ab sence of several days from home, w were beginning to want to cast on eyes on that dear place again. Karly Monday morning we were o thc road, this time headed for Hors ('ovo, and it was almost sundown bc fore we reached this place. On on way we stopped and eat dinner in th famous White Side Cove. This cov is at the foot of tho pretty Wrhit Side Mountain, which is 4,1100 fet high, and in our opinion it is one o the grandest mountains that wc sa' on our trip. At Horse Cove wc pu up for thc night with a Mr. Gruud Hill, who is well-known to a grey many of our Anderson County pcoph for his home is a camping place f( almost every ouc who visits thc Cov< Wo were very agreeably surprised I have Misses Provost, Gilmer and Se; and Mr. Jake Gilmer, of Andcrsoi who wore spending a while at th Cove, come and spend a few houi with us before wo left for Highland They really Beemed like homefolk and made our stay in the Cove vei pleasant indeed. On our way fro this place to Highlands we had tl pleasure of visiting Kulalanta, tl home of the wealthy Henry Edmot llaviuel. We also visited the home Preloe Ravinel, his brother, whoi pretty homo stands on the top Fodder Stack Mountain. We we; kindly shown through the house 1 Mrs. Coffee, tho housekeeper, and finer furnished house we had nev seen bfore. While the furniture w old and quaint, yet it was very cost! and the most of it came from Russi From here we wont down by Suns Rock, and just as thc shades of nig were Leginning to lower, wo drove in the proud little town of HighiaUt] We had pictured this place as oue wit perhaps, a store or two, a postoffi and a shoe shop, but behold we fou it to be a thriving little town, wi some eight or ten stores, nice reside ces, nice Churches and schools. N only this, but we found her peoj hospitable and refined, and our sin stay at this place is one to bc long : membered. The Cleveland mansi being unoccupied, was given over us, and beneath its roof, with t balmy breezes of thc surroundi mountains to refresh us, we enjoyci night of unmolested rest among t native Highlanders. Wednesday visited Mount Satullah, which is 4,i feet high, and ou tho east sido il almost perpendicular. And now, af wc had visited the most noted pla in and around this little mount city, we return to camp, and afterd ner is over we start on our way Walhalla. In going around P Mountain a fine drove of wild turk crossed the road in front of us, i in the twinkling of an oyo Walter \ out on the ground with his gun, s as they arose io fly he brought dov, nice young gobbler. Holding his t key above his head and shouting umphautly, be ran into the middh the road, whereupon the engine to thc "vestibule" became frightened, and came near running down the mountain. Thc 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 thc window. We have pre vailed with her to make thc old "vet eran" sue for a 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 thc Chatooche Uiver, where wc spend the night with a Mr. Russell* Herc, 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 thc move, and by twelve o'clock wc reached tho famous Tunnel Hill. For several days we bad 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 thc mountains into Tennessee. After we had left noth ing of our turkey but thc runuing gear, that is. when we had eaten din ner, with an hour's ride we were on thc streets of Walhalla and West I nion. When we had stopped here long enough to visit the jug factory, wc went out to the home of our good friend, Mr. Sam Ellison, where wo spent our last night together very pleasantly. And. now, thc next day, Friday, as we journey along to that dear place where all love conto"?, 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, lie it ever HO humble, tuero'H no place like home." As thc close of the day was gently approaching wo reached these dear homes, to find the loved ones awaiting our return. As we drove ?jack into yard from where we started, what more met our eyes than Miss Bird walking thc yard with her han ls -?hied 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. - mt - o ? - This Will Interest Many.

"Within tho next 50 year9," 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 7?11 be ef fected by ohcap 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 ono of tho forces of nature against whhh 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 the 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 'attitude night is un doubtedly the best time to work-es pecially during our long Summers. Tho temperature from sunset to sun rise is cool and equable, there is almost always a refreshing breeze, and as soon as darkness is abolished the people will gradually and naturally reverse the hours of toil. I venturo the assertion that none in 1955 will see 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 we now associ ate with an 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 the incandescents of the future blase forth at dusk, everybody will arise in vigorated and alert and get ready to begin the night's work.

Ile was munching away vigorously at 8omethipr when the Saunterer came 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 wou 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 thc Saunterer's face, for his friend grinned. "I supposed you'd be puzzled," he continued, "just as others have been before you. Tt's all simple enough, though. The taste of candy takes away, or, rather, destroys the taste for thc liquor I have been so fond of imbibing. I learned that by accident. Had been eating a bit of taffy and met a frieud who insisted on buying a drink. I took whiskey, aud found that the combination wasn't a pal atable one at all. Just for fun, 1 next tried beer, and it proved to be 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 kind 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 thc time being. Try it whenever you want to swear off. It beats tr king the pledge."-Philadrfj'liin 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 un animal of extraor dinary little sense-using the word as synonymous with judgment. Ile 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 the 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 thc horse should have a nature kO unbalanced mentally; evolved, as he is, from an ancestor who was one of the most timid of wild animals, possessing no weapons of offence or defence, and, j therefore, finding bis only safety in I a:"t.f VT - _ .

It is no wonder, therefore, that at an] unaccustomed sight, noise, touch, or motion the horse of to-day, in spite of countless centuries of training ii the service of man, under the ances tral impulse that dominates his most intensely nervous organization, should still be seized with au ungovernabh terror that expresses itself in a mad onward rush whose frightful power it 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 sorts and ROCS to a physician, he is often given violent drops that make him, for a time, unfit for business and really sick. There is a way of avoiding both extremes --that of neglecting the health and that of taking violent drugs that rack the entire system-it is always to keep on hand a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden 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 may keep in good health.
