HEDK Y oughl inesd Lmer olinds ine the Sdarmen Old la W m aing:ilsct n u n ONE OF FINEST VIEWS IN TIl WORLD MAY BE SEEN FROM TABLE ROCK Greenville News. If "See 'America First" is a wise slogan for the citizens of the nation generally. "See the Piedmont First ought to be a wise slogan for the citizens of Greenville and of the sec tion which includes Greenville coun ty and which holds scenes and views unrivalled, some of them, by any in the Rockies, the Alleghanies or the White mountains. With these magnificent views right under their noses, so to speak, many citizens have looked over and beyond them to other sections of the land in their search for beautiful scenery. By Automobile from Greenville, and from other points in this and adjoin ing counties, numerous points of in torest may be reached with coinpari tive case. And one of the most in teresting of these is Table Rock, over in Pickens county. Years ago, Table Rock was a sort (f Mecca for South Carolinians. Many still visit it, but the rapidly growing population of Cities, towns and rural districts in this section include many who know little or nothing about the place, its strange sights, its magnifi ceent view, its grippingly-interesting history. Table Rock. Trable Rock, from which one of the finest views in the world can be ob tained, is in Pickens County, South Carolina. Those who have visited this grand old mountain of solid rock are im pressed by the panorama spread out before them. No other part of America has any thing equal to it. Table Rock rises up from the val ley majestically and the formation of this grand old mountain is a won der to all who behold it. On top of the rock, at an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet, gushes out a clear, cold, bubbling spring which is refreshing after the steep climb up. From the summit of Table Rock one can look into North Carolina, Geergia and Tennessee. T4o the botanist and geologist Ta ble Rock is a vetitable storehouse of many wonders. During the summer months bright-hued flowers bloom in, profusion in nooks and Crannies. There are "rock houses" where a peison can take refuge during a storm. Mysteriicus Foot Prints. One of the strange sights on the summit is a gigantic foot print, evi dently made by pre-historie man when the earth was young. also ele phant foot prints and a depression that looks as though a horse had rolled over and left the outline of his body in the solid rock. Part of the old Table Rock Hotel is still standling at the foot of the mountain. Built- in the year 1830, it is a relic of the past. Faiilies used to spend the summer there bringing with them their carri ages and1 horses andl servants from the lower part of the state. Dances of Old. Many a fair lady and lordly squire tripped the light fantastic toe over the ballroom floor of the 01(1 hotel to the music. of a banjo and fiddle played by old white-haired slaves. Deer used to be plentiful as they would come to gaze on tender patch. es of grass growing on the mountain side but now they are seldom seer as they have been killed by the ruth, less hunter. , -- -, - - Steps were built many years agd on the face of the ro~ck by slaves of the owner by dIrilling holes in the sidle of the rock and inserting iror rods. The steps were built on these. The steps have long ago fallen to dlecay but hare and there one can see the iron spikes. The present ascent is made by s path up the mountain over boulders andl through fissures in the rock. The magnificent view' well repays anyone to take the elimb. On the North side of Table Rock the Saluda river winds its way along the valley and looks like a silver thread, and the scatteredl farm houses appear to the eye as though they were doll houses. In' the distance is Saluda Mountain and trains of the Southern Railway eaw 1'e seen' slowly climbing the steepest grade in Ameri ca. I am, An humble' admirer of nature, C. E.
