A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. C
Vs 4 *
I will tell yoa all of my trip to the n
mountains. Those of the party were u
Charlie Alexander and daughters r
w Misses Ammie and Bessie and Jette ?<
(all of Monarch) Miss Pearle Roches- c<
ter and this writer.
We left Union Saturday morning si
at six o'clock, as we made the trip C
through the country in Mr. Alex- o
ander's seven passenger Oldsmobile w
we went by the way of the Saluda v
mountains, the scenery is beautiful, w
We stopped in various places and ar- u
rived in Asheville at twelve o'clock, li
We then went to the ftew York cafe t]
and got dinner, we walked around "
sight seeing, but we were all the time is
dodging cars and street cars. Ashe- T
ville iB a beautiful town; the streets tl
are crowded. There are some pretty t<
buildings there, some of which we a
got views. V
* ]^e left Asheville for Mrs. J. C. e
Alexander's county home which is g
\ about thirteen miles from Asheville d
we arrived there a tired bunch, we n
rested got an early supper and went si
back to Asheville that night to the li
Mejestic show where they have the v
real acting. I thought it was extra
fine but some sajd it was nothing like c
as good as it was at some times. s
Sunday morning dawned clear and d
bright in the beautiful mountains, a
That mornim; Miss Bonnie Alexander e
and myself went to Sunday school at t
the Methodist church and met many fi
friendly people, while some of the c
others went to visit relatives, and the
others remained at home. After
( dinner a crowd of us young people a
motored to Sulphur Springs. I do not h
like the taste of sulphur water. From ti
Sulphur Springs we went to Sun Set P
mountain the prettiest place of all. c<
The view of Asheville from Sun Set
Mountain is beautiful although Ashe- c
ville looks small from there.. v
Grove Park is a beautiful place; it C
is one of the notable monumental fi
structures of that country. It was
built not for the present alone but t;
for ages yet to come, and it probably
will be an object of wonder and of
admiration of generations yet to j
come.
Its location is on the side of Sun
Set mountain, two miles and a half
xrom tne center oi Asneviue. c
Biltmore's house, America's beauty
spot, home of the late George W. 0
Vanderbilt, four miles from Asheville; U
is a beautiful place although we did s
not go very r.ear but the view from a j,
distant is beautiful, from Sunset
0
mountain we visited various other
points too numerous to mention. a
Monday morning we arose early, *
' so we could have longer to stay at d

himney Rock we sure did have fome
oads to travel and some steep
lountains to climb but our car did go
p them without a bit of trouble. The
oads to Chimney Rock are crooked
eems as if we would meet ourselves
oming back.
After walking around a while we
barted up the stair way to the top of
Ihimney Rock my, what a long flight
f stairs! we were a tired bunch when
re reached the top. The views of the
alley were lovely, you will stand berildered
when once you look upon the
ncomparabe < beauties of the wonderind
of Chimney Rock, in the heart of
he Blue Ridge mountains and in the
lapd of the ek^\ Each year thehe
? something new at Chimney Rock,
'here is a fine cafe being built there,
he lumber is sent up from the ground
a the top of the rock on some kind of
sled, which I cannot fully describe,
/e girls wero so tired when we reachd
the top of Chimney Rock we did not
t> up any higher, but the gentlemen
id, we then went in a cave we did
ot go so very far as we had only a
mall search light pnd the electric
ght globes had not been put in. It
ras cold down under the ground.
We left Chimney Rock at ten thirty
ame back by the way of Saluda mts.
topped at Tryon, N. C., and got our
inner, and went down to a spring
nd had a regular picnic, which we all
njoyed. Th; roads all the way from
Inion to Leicester N. C., are just
ne, we traveled over a many mile of
oncrete road.
I certainly did enjoy my stay at
Irs. J. C. Alexander's I dont know
s I ever was in a more hospitable
ome every one was so friendly and
ried to give us a good time. All the
eople I met while there were exeedingly
kind and friendly.
We made thfe trip both going and
oming without a bit of car trouble,
fhich is due to Mr. Alexander's new
fidsmobilc. 1 will never forget my
rst trip to the mountains.
This was rr.y first trip to the mounains
but hope it will not be the last,
Pansy.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST
BATTLE SHIP
Quincy, Mass., May 28.?The keel
of the world's biggest warship will
be laid down here within six months.
The battle-cruiser Lexington, combining
in a degree unequalled any
ship of war now built or building the
qualities of powerful armament and
high speed, has taken from in drawings
and awaits the arrival of materials
to be advanced from the hands
of the architect to those of the builder.
By fall, it is estimated, the prospective
queen of the United States
navy will become a ship under construction
instead of an ambitious
plan.
The Lexington is the name-ship of
a class of b.\ttle-cruisers which will
give Uncle Sam within four years a
fleet of six big-gun fighting ships unmatched
by anything then afloat. He*
sister-ships, the Constellation, Saratoga,
Ranger, Constitution and United
States, are also under contract. They
bring names cut of the old navy with
whic to develop for the first new
capital vessels of the post-war fleet
a traditional background for fresh exploits.
With the others of its class, the
Iiexington will be a whale of a ship.
It will displace 43,200 tons and wil
have the power of 180,000 horses, as
measured in mechanical terms. Its
length of 874 feet is within *6 f$et
of the length of the Leviathan, moisten
passenger liner. . The 101.4. feet
of width of the Lexington will mike
that floating gun platform broader
than any pa3senger ship.
The Lexington, which is to te
equipped with electric drive, will it
tain a. speed of 35 knot^ This cruiwr
speed, higher than that of many <festrcyers,
is the object of much of tie
designing that entered into the creation
of the Lexington class. Armor
will be sacrificed to make possble
the 35 knot speed?the main belt oeinor
only five inches thick at its macimum
as compared with the 12 iich
steel belt on most battleships, jut
armament will be of tremendous
power. The Lexington thus will hive
not only the strategic advantage of
high speed but will be able to fir. a
heavier charge over a greater <istance
than any other battleship .'or
which the plans are known.
The Lexington in action will speak
with a voico of 16-inch guns, of wlich
she will have eight. The levies of
Great Britian, France and if*ly :ontair.
no gun greater than /5 inches
and that of Japan includ i 16-inch
guns only on battleships < 24 knot
[ speed which are now under :oniLructI
ion. Unlike the dreadnoi :ht class,

reliance on big guns execlusively, th
Lexington will carry 16 six-inch gun
as a secondary amament.
'Taking a page from the naval lea
sons of the war, the designers of tb
Lexington have equipped the shi]
with four anti-air-craft guns, eigh
torpedo tubes, four of which are sub
merged and / four on deck and witl
means of defense against aeria
bombs and aerial torpedoes. Defens<
against submarine torpedoes will b<
obtained through force and aft tor
pedo bulkheads, by which the stability
of the vessel will be preserved n<
matter where she is pierced . Unde
any conditions but an explosion, i
is claimed, the Lexington class o:
warship should prove unsinkable.
An indication of the Lexington')
greatness is afforded by comparisoi
with British warship Hood, whicl
when it is floated will be the biggest
ship in the British navy and afloat.

UNVEILED IN JUNE
London, May 14.?St. Gauden'a
monument of Abraham Lincoln, which
has been presented by the American
peop'a to the British people probably
will be unveiled in June, on the site
given by the government in the Canning
Enclosure, Westminster, facing
the Houses of Parliament.
The Anglo-American Society,
through which the gift has been made
and which is responsible for the arrangements
of the unveiling, has invited
Elihu Root, to make the presentation
of the statue during his
forthcoming visit to Europe.
The statue is a replica of the bronze
monument of Abraham Lincoln in
Lincoln, Park, Chicago and represents
President Lincoln in a standing
position.

0 IRISH BOY GIVEN LEAVE
s FROM HOSPITAL
TO VISIT OLD COUNTRY
p To say thai his hair 'was red, his
p eyes were bluer, would describe Wilt
liam A. Kelly as he came into the city
- Thursday morning: from the hospital
[i at Camp Sevier, but the tinge of his
1 hair was redder and the sky-blue of
e his eyes was bluer as he fingered the
e transportation from Greenville to the
- "old country."
y Kelly, a native of the Emerald Isle
a but an American by adoption and a
r veteran of the war with Germany, has
t been a patient at Sevier for many
f months. He has taken an active interest
in the American Legion and
3 other things organized for the boys,
i 'With the patients'of the hospital he is
l a general favorite his comrades say
t and few there are in tho entire institution
who do not know William A.
L Kelly.
During the time that he has been
i in the land of Dixie, Kelly thinks that
he has made slight progress. During
the twenty-three months of service as
I an American soldior he contracted a
diseaso which has been battling, day
I by day, against the reserve strength
laid up in younger days. He has been
able to hold his own, says he is well
pleased with the treatment he receives
at the hospital but with all his progress
has not been what ho feels it
i should be. He was sighing for the
i "old country."
i Several weeks ago he started a
1 movement to secure a leave of absence
i that he might visit the scenes of his
boyhood. Thursday morning he was
awarded by the news that he was to
be given a leave of six months to return
to the Emerald Isle. His trans-!
portation has been arranged for and
with the completion of a few minor
arrangements Kelly will be ready to j
cross the briny deep.
"I believe six months in the old I
country will about fix me un." he stat- I
cd. "I Tike this climate and am well j
pleased with the hospital and every- j
thing but there is nothing like thci
place where a man was born when his j
heart grows sad for the sight of the |
familiar surroundings. Yes. I am'
coming back in December, but be-1
tween then and now, I am going to
let my peepers gaze upon the scenes i
of my childhood and talk with the
boys on the other side of the Atlantic.
?Greenville Piedmont.
The death of patients when the I
male ward of the Ohio State hospital
for epileptics, at Gallipolis, was burned
has led to the arrest of six patients
suspected of setting fire to the building.

GIRL MAKES 'EM GASP
.Miss Dare Startles Audience With
Stunts
Kansas City Titties.
In 1903 the Wright brothers star
tied the world by making the first
successful flight in a heavier than ui>
machine over a level stretch of country
near Kitty Hawk, N. C.
Since then the world has had its
daredevil exhibition flyers and "aces'"
of the world war, but it has fallen to
the lot of petite Miss Ethel Dare, 1H
! years old, of Kalamazoo, Mich., to
I give the citizens of Kansas City the
! latest wrinkles in hair raising stunts
and thrills with the blue sky as a
background.
At Swope park recently Miss Dare
climbed into an airplane piloted by
E. L. Partridge, a veteran of the air,
and left the earth for what the few
spectators w'no saw the "take off"
supposed to be merely an aerial joy
1 ride.
But if those who saw the beginning
of the flight were at all bored
because Partridge failed to "spin" of
loop the loop with his machine and
passenger, they soon lost their feelings
of complacency and matter of
factness. For, when the plane had attained
an altitude of about 1,000 feet,
they saw Mias Dare climb out of the
front seat of the lower wing and,
using the wires and struts as supports,
walk to the end of the wing
while the mere men down below held
their breath and wondered.
Not being satisfied with a stre1'
along the lower wing, she climbed to *
the top cf the plane and there proceeded
to stand upright with her feet
braced against the cabane struts and
her arms outspread.
After a few more masterpieces of
aerial "darnfoolishness," she calmly
strolled back to her seat in the front
cockpit of the fuselage and remained
oeitiuu wiiue rarinago landed the
plane on the Swope park field.
"Foolhardy?" repeated Miss Dare
in response to a question. "I don't
think so. Others have done it, why
not I ? I'll never be satisfied until I've
changed planes in midair and I intend
to try it out here soon." %
"Some day/ a spectator remarked,
"someone is going to ask, 'Did she
fall or was she pushed?' "
The collosal wooden statue of Hindenburg,
which was studded with
nails at so much per, was sold to a
dealer in curios. It has now been
tmporarily confiscate by the police
to prevent its being used as an emblem
in political disorders.
