The editor of The Ohronlcl0 ami his wife are Indebted to Mr. and Mw, S. A. Bnrrler fo? a most delightful trip to lGnoxvlllo. Tenn,, the trip being made through the country In their Ka sex ear, which afforded an opportu nity to see the beautiful eonntry and the tow^is apd cities through which we passed. The party left Camden early Wed nesday morning and stopping at #ev eral places on the way we arrived in Knoxville Friday afternoon, ThpNtrlp carried ns through Greenville. S. 0., Hcndorsonvllle. AshevlUe, Marshall. Hot Springs, N, O., Newport and I>an dridge, Teiui. The route from Ashe vllle to Knoxville was over thi? beauti ful Blue ltUlge, Siuokey and Clinch mountain ranges, a roadway which could be termed a remarkable ougl neerin^ feat?a narrow roadway trail ing through the mountains for more than fifty miles and at places giving the motorist a genuine thrill; when you would look down from this narrow ledge to a groat chasm far below, with nothing to iprotect you but the careful ness of the driver. But our friend Burrier having resided In the Andes In South America for several years, was used to the "high spots" and all had perfect confidence In hl? driving. Near Hot Springs we (passed through a government reservation made into a National forest and this land is all under the supervision of forest ran gers. It is located in some of the high est mountains in the Blue Ridge range. At Newport. Tenn., we followed the Tennessee valley on Into Knoxville, nearly always keeping In sight of the French Broad river. At tf^ewiport we saw one of the largest canneries in the south, and all along the way we met wagons and 4rucks lintiling to matoes and "mutton" corn being car ried to the cannery where hundreds of laborers are employed In putting them in shape for the market in cans. It was not a uncommon sight to see hun dreds of acres planted in tomatoes.; There way another canning factory at Dandiidge, tarf not so large ns the one at Newport.^This little $>wn bears the unique distinction of being not on a railroad ;and Is the county seat of Jefferson comity, and traffic to and fro being made by auto lines or other vehicles. On the hillsides along the roadway con|d l>e seen large herds of purebred Hereford cattle, sheetp, bogs and nearly every known variety of vegetables arid fruits. These people know .nothing about cotton growing as the last fiqld of cotton we 'saw was in Greenville county in this state. Tennessee Is also known far and wide as a stock raising section and we passed a great many mule and horse colts grazing In the pastures. The roads along the way wore fine ijmrtil we reached Newport then our route carried lis over an old turnpike made of Mfccadam which had been In use for many years. This road was formerly owned by private parties and tolls were collected every few miles unltil it was taken over by the state. Some of these roads are still in ex istence and toll is still collected for travel over them. The roads In and out of Knoxvllle are not good, owing to the fact, we are told, that the com missioner of roads had In the past sev eral years been looking after (paying political debts in certain localities, rather than improving the more Im portant highways. An election had Just been hel<i and the former com missioner was rightfully o verwhelm lngly defeated,. and those who are In a position to know state that Knox county Is now in a fair way to have good roads on the more important highways. lie it said to the credft of South Carolina we passed over aome of the finest roads In this State of the whole trip. North OaiV>llna has an excellent sygtem of marking Its highways and it Is no trouble for the motorist to find Iris way. At every cross road or fork In the road signs point the way and tell the distance*. Before reach fag nearly every bridge a warning sign looms up with these words and In verted brackets: "Danger. narrow bridge." And upon nearlng every curve in the road a sign appear* read ing: "Danger, Slow Down. Curve Kight" or curve left as the ca?e may be, and upon each signl>oard perched the picture of a black cat. This state could well afford to copy after North Carolina In this respect. If a motor i.st runs into danger It Is bis own fault | Knoxville Is one of the most imj>or ; tant cities In the state, and was for ; merly the *tate capital, the old build ing still ?tand?, and Is beinc nxed ?? ? a re<;idrnee. Knoxvllle Is also a city of considerable historic interest, as a lnrtr^ #dtrriboard on the edjre of the city tolls you Hi at it was the Mrth . }?1h f A'imirn!

' ? , It Is said Urn* there are more than three huudre?j different manufactur ing enterprises in this elty of about 80,000 population and the eountry abounds in nearly every known min eral as well as* some of the rlohoM coal mines in the country. Knoxvllle has more than I .'17 wholesale and Job bing houses for shipping their wares into various southern eitles, and these wholesale houses send out an army of 750 traveling salesmen. Nine railways radiotitur In different dlxctlliuis. with fifty-six passenger trains dally serve the olty. One of the show places of Knoxvllle Ik the muulciiml market, serving as a clearing hous,e for nearly the entire Tennessee valley. We visited the place on Saturday when ??the stalls and country vehicles were unusually well supplied and It was an Interesting sight to 9mi the housewives of Knoxvllle with their market baskets on their arms making their daily i>ur cliases. We saw one farmer with a team of horses attached to a covered wagon, loaded with Irish potatoes. Wo asked how far he resided from Knoxvllle and he replied that fce had driven 45 miles. It took him two days to make the trip and two days to re turn, but these people live frugally, camping by th0 wayside and no doubt he was amply repaid for his long trip, for he makes a trip each week with his wagon loaded veith some kind of country produce. This 1h said to be the finest and most complete market system in the entire South, and is a big convenience to gardeners and far mers, as well as to the grocers and housewives of Knoxvllle, as is evl*j denced by the hundreds of wagons lined up <>n the curb for blocks and blocks. The main building of the mar ket covers a city block in length and the stalls are rented at a nominal sum to those who do not wish to use the free, curb parking places. Large re frigerators and cold storage plaec?s take care of any dressed poultry or, perishable* thaf might not he sold from day to day* But this is not often used, as we were told that along to wards nightfall everything Is sol,j out and the farmers and truckers depart to reload and return for the following morning.. The marble and granite industry In this section forms a large part of the state's wealth. A great many quarry's nre located within a few miles of Knoxvllle and wome of the products are shipped to great distances The fertility of the soli and the pro ductiveness of the earth in this sec tion is so great that it has been said thut if a wall could be built around Knoxvllle forty miles In every direc tion her people could live Independent of the rest of the world. In and around Knoxville can bo found some of the most beautiful homes and reports to bo seen anywhere. They have been termed*"in the heart of the Whispering III11S'' and they would appeal to the fancies of all peo .ple. Some of them are groups of plain, rustic cottages to which tired business men from Knoxville and else where carry their families during the warmest part of the summer. Whllp in Knoxville we were the gUCffts of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Pickle, the latter having visited Camden as the guest of her sister, Mrs. Burrler, and we would bo unappreeiatlvp in deed if we did net 8ay a word of their genuine hospitality. Mr. ,and Mrs. Furrier's vUiit. was the occasion of a family reunion, as It had been several years since they had made a visit home, and Saturday afternoon the entire MoNutt and Burrltr fami* lies assembled at a beautiful moun tain stream for a genuine old fashioned basket picnic. It?'brought together some of the first families of Knoxville and we will always remember the de lightful time spent with these hospi table people, who occupy a prominent part In the social and industrial life of this prefety Tennessee city. A married woman In Massachusetts who lives apart from her husband Is not deprived of the privilege of voting.
