||kENTUCKY'S neglected cave j
Every school boy knows something
of the Mammoth cave. It
Sa place of charm and of mysry.
Thousands have pencited
its depths, have gazed awestruck
into the wondrous heights
off its Star chamber, have listened
the startling reverberations
borne back upon them as they |
iinnn f Vin u-afora nf PnKn
river, have marveled at its eyeless
fish, its sightless flies and
beetles and other insects, its
strange and brilliant flowers,
says The News and Courier.
IJven the most blase may find
here something to interest them,
Sprtiething to entertain, something,
perhaps, to start new curfrtts
of thought in motion. It
or should be, attractive, alike
the idly curious and ; to the
deeply speculative; and yet a
representative of the New. York
VJforld, commissioned by his paper
tjo visit the cave and report on
ijta availability as a national park,
drus compelled to spend much
time in ascertaining from railroad
authorities how to get there, ;
while the journey itself was an
uninterrupted story of delays and
inconveniences.
The World man stayed there
two days. Three persons visited
the cavern during that time. It
ils forgotten. Why? "The trustees
do not spend any money in
advertising the cave or for improvements."
It was not always
thus. 4 'More than half a century i
ago," says the Louisville Courier-:
Journal, "there was an average
of 100 visitors a day. Except for
an occasional excursion the number
is now insignificant, and yet
there are more people in this
1 At -
country, mere are more tourists i
from foreign lands, and traveling I
facilities have improved to a
wonderful degree." The CourierJournal
agrees with the New
York newspaper man as to the
causes which have brought about
the change. The cave "is no less j
a wonder now than it has been at
any previous period of its his- j
tory," says the Courier-Journal. 1
'There is no reason why the
number of visitors should not be
larger than ever before except
that for many years there has
been absolutely no effort to advertise
the cavo and place its
attractions before the public in a
way that would induce people to
visit it."
Rett the Horse's Feet.
Every farm horse should, . if
possible, be allowed to go without
his shoes at least two or
three months every year, in the
opinion of The Horseman. In
fact, it is hardly necessary to
shoe a horse on the farm unless
he is to go on the hard roads or
work on the hard soil where he
is required to do much heavy
pulling. Without shoes a horse's
hoof will grow out, regain its
natu.al shape, which is always
more or less change*! by continuotls
shoeing.
Many city horses with hoofs
fcound and cracked and otherwise
injured, have been taken to the
farm, their shoes pulled off and
turned out to pasture and thoroughly
cured within six months.
In fact, the farmers around the
Targe cities used to find in this
class of animals a cheap supply,
many of which turned out to be
fihst-class horses, showing that
all that was needed was rest on
Mother Earth without their
shoes.
Andy in the Hall of Fame.
Andrew Jackson has also been
admitted to' the Hall of Fame,
says the Montgomery Advertiser.
Had Uncle Andy anticipated this
delay he probably would have
Eostponed his departure until a
etter understand ng was held.
It is said of him that after his
death one of Ins former negro
servants was approached and
asked if he thought Gen. Jackson
went to heaven. "I dunno
'bout dat, boss," said the old
negro, "but if he wanted to he
did." Whatever Old Hickory set
his head to do he came very near
accomplishing. That may be
why he finally secured a place in
the Hall of Fame. He has been
entitled to it all along.
Expert Cotton Pickers.
Two 14-year-old Laurens county
boys, Paul Bobo and his twin
brother, Carl, picked 813 pounds
of cotton in one day last week.
These two boys are the sons of
Will Bobo, a prosperous farmer
who lives Four miles from Owings
on the Laurens road, and so far
as known they hold the record
for picking cotton in Laurens
county among the boy cotton
gatherers.
Means Much for Lancaster, ij
Lancaster News:
Much interest here and elsewhere
is being manifested in the
big auction sale of numerous lots i
and small farms soon to be held
at Lancaster, commencing on the
17th inst., conducted by J. Edgar
Poag of Rock Hill. In addition
to prospective buyers here and
in the county, persons from a
distance are coming to Lancaster
daily to inspect the properties to
be sold. Nothing in years has j
j been undertaken in Lancaster | L
i which promises so much for the j
| town's future upbuilding as this I
great movement, which beyond '
doubt will eventuate in the attraction
of many home-seekers
and investors here.
As heretofore published, 1,674
acres of land lying in the eastern
suburbs of Lancaster, formerly
the property of Chief Justice Ira
B. Jones, but now owned by the
Jones Realty company, a chartered
corporation capitalized at
$50,000, have been divided into
51 small farms and the remainder
into building lots. Hundreds
of acres are in a high state of
cultivation, and many of the lots and
small farms are equipped
with valuable improvements,
dwellings, barns, stables and other
buildings. Numerous streets j
and first-class highways have \
been systematically laid olf and j
graded, a number of them being ).
extensions of the streets of the i;
town of Lancaster. This feature |
alone has cost several thousands ;
of dollars. Two of the model ,
highways materially shorten the
distance from the eastern portion ;
of the county to town.
Visitors coming here to view
the many lots and farms to he
sold express themselves a& being
charmed with Lancaster and its :
surroundings, a town which has
made truly wonderful growth in
the last few years. With its j
newly installed waterworks system
and electric light plant, :
handsome churches and modern
school buildings, many elegant
residences, scores of them of rcj
cent construction, large new opera
house, numerous large brick
stores, up-to-date hotels, three _
flourishing: banks, two railroads,
largest livery and sales stables
; in the State, $1,000,000 cotton
| mill, larg:e oil mill, ice factory
and an $80,000 fertilizer plant in
course of construction, not to
mention numerous other smaller
enterprises, Lancaster is indeed
one of the best business and residential
towns in the Piedmont
section.
