TO HIS XEW15ERIIY FRIENDS
Dear Editor: Y'ith your permission,
I want to write a letter through your
paper to our many friends in South
[ Carolina in geeral, and former par- '
ishioners in Newberry County in particular.
After several days coniDatting
show and ice and zero weather, we
finally left our frie .d^ at Pomaria
Thursday morning. Jan. 3.

we were hauling our household
effects over icy hills to the depot, anc*
placing them in a car. The last loacr,
A made after dark was finally toomucn
W for the team U> pull up the DerriCK
bill, and another mule had to be added*
W/k After a stenmous day and night, our
||B family was made comfortable in tie
0P homes of Mr. Jas. P. Setzler and Mrs.
Alma Sebt. The ?ext morndtag we were
-up at 5 o'clock, wading through the
snow, gettkg ready to go Dy auioio
Alston. This was done to catch an
early train to Spartanburg :Tommie
Setzler was at the wheel guiding his
faithful Chevrolet, and William runn

braves the cold like the hero that he
is. Near the top of the Peak hill our
Ford suddenly stopped.
Wall, there was not much time to
lose, so we jumped out and tried to
puv-h the machine up the hill. But I
slipped ar.d fell and rolled over a few
\imes, and soon gave up the job. The
boys finally let the car run down hill,
and then came up backward. Tiie
little Ford just will go, one ,way cr
the other, and this 'time it was the
other. We reached Alston in time for
the :-rain. I carried Llewella, across
the Broad river trestle, and the walk
way was covered with snow.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
^ The cars were comfortable, and the
1^ scenery was fine. At Spartanburg we
tcok the C. C. and 0. R. R. to Johnson
jfeiW City, Tenn. This is the most wonder6
W ful mountain scenery I have ever seen.
fy I shall not attempt to describe it. lr
any who may read these lines has an
HF opportunity travel over the road.
W by all means do so. .There are nrneteei/
tunnels in about that many miles.
The road literally bores through the
mountains. At one place near AlteH
pass, X. C., the road makes a loop of
m seven miles, and advances only 6U0
yards- Sounds fishy^ but the road

Then again, when we first struck the .
Foe river, we were >oing down stream,
,n a short while we were going up
J
stream^ then soon we were gom^
down stream agai'. This time it was
the river that made the double loop,
we went straight forward. The
mraiitDin scenery all along wasgranc ^
beyond description.

We stopped in Abingon. Va? for
t) e ni?rht. fourteen miles from Bristo*.
and sixte3n miles from c:;r u.^stma- ,
lie-:. The thermometer was then !_
degrees below zero, but the hotel wa^
comfortable as a May morni g, and we I
got a much needed rest and bath.
The next morning, we bearded the
Virginia Carolina railroad for Ba T
mascus. The distance was only sixteen
miles, but it took fifty two minutes
nisivfi the run. We twisted ottwee-.
mountains and over fertile
valleVs. The snow was about a foot o
O
deep, but on arrivrl at Damascus, kind
friends ?nnn made us comfortable in ?
iX
the neat warm cozy parsonage.

We already feci very much at home p
and hope to do much for the great
cause of upbuilding Christ's king- n
! dom in our new fteld. of course we fee: ^
a little home sick for our friends in
South Carolina. We left a mighty
good people in the Pomarin pastorate, f
; and thi k of them very often. To each
i of these, we send lovp and good wishes.
