Automobilists of Charleston and the lower part of tho Slate in general, will he deeply interested in the fact that a Charleston ii;;;;!::::;- has travel ed BUCCessfull) from this city to Ashc Vllle, N. C, making one of the long est trips every accomplished by an au tomobile in this section of the COUU tl'.V. Mr. M. IL Paine, Jr., who drove the car on its long journey to the mountain metropolis, returned to Char leston oil Monday. Mr. Paine staled that his automobile had covered the distance in three days, hut that with any soil of luck tho trip could he made in two days. Twice on the way up the party ran into cloud-hursts and had lo slop in order to build bridges, and throughout the roads were in had shape as the result of heavy rains. Mr. Paine drove the car the whole way himself. Witli him were Messrs 13, I!. Randolph and F. M. Robertson ami a chauffeur. Speaking ol ibe trip after Iiis return to Charleston. Mr. Paine said, in part: "Wo I'll Charleston on Tuesday morning, Juno 21, at fl:H0 a. m., and driving at a steady hut not very fact gait, by way of Suinmervllle, llarley ville, (lowinanu, Ornngoburg, and St. Matthews, wo arrived in Columbia, the Capital of tho State, in tho afternoon. As far as Rowmans, the road was of an indifferent nature, mostly sandy and rough in places, hut as soon as tin OrnngebUI'g county line was passed improvement was immediately noticed and from Rowmnns to Ornngeburg tin road was good, being of the sand ami clay variety . To avoid Hugaboo Swamp, the route from St. Matthews may be by way of Fort Motte and Kate's Ferry, on the Congaree river, the road then follow ing to the right of the river on higher ground, but this may be Inconvenient because of the uncertainty of the ferry. Arriving in Columbia by awy of the Cougarce river bridge, one goes straight up Oervlas street, to the Cap itol, at Main street, whore the hotels are found, and we stopped at the Hotel Jerome. The distance for this day's run was 121.7 miles. We did not leave Columbia until 10::t0 the next morning. Weduesdi y, as the reports of a cloudburst ahead of us on the road at Clinton, gave the eon dil ion to he so bad that we deel led to allow the road a short time to dry out. which proved to he a wise move. We therefore only mapped OUI schedule on the second day as far as Laurens, S. ('.. 70 miles from Colum bia, instead of lit", miles to Greenville, as originally planned, and easily made under favorable conditions. Leaving Columbia by Main street, running north, we proceeded to the Urs? road turning to the left, about eight blocks from the Capitol, marked Broad River road, ami turning Into this we soon came to a long, covered bridge over the Rroad river, the toll being '?'>'> cents for a louring car. Just after leaving this bridge a sharp wind ing turn is met. the road being known as the Lexington road, and for four miles is in pretty fair condition, lim ning through a section of Lexington County, between the Rroad and Stillt do rivers, known as the Dutch Fork. This road begins to get pretty rough ten miles from Columbia and soon de generates into as rough and rocky a road met with anywhere in the State he low the mountains. For 'he next ten miles this road has been termed "the Jungle." and it deserves the name. lOmorgillg therefrom we ran through a small settlement known as Spring Hill. From bore on to Chaplns, a small village, the road was only fair in spots, with a few bad creeks and bridges to cross and several badly cut up red clay hills. The tirst town after leaving Colum bia is Prosperity. Passing through here one encounters both the Colum bia, N'ewberry ami Laurens ami South ern Railroad, crossing both six times in two and three quarter miles, thence into N'ewberry by Johnston. Calhoun ami Main streets. Leaving Newberry by the county court house on College street, and K? lau northwest, we soon encountered the < ffects of the cloudburst of tho day before, and badly cut up roads mad running rough and slow. We next met dlfllcultles In a washed away bridge, and the wisdom of our lato departure from Columbia was evident from the fact thnt the county chain gang had just arrived on the spot to repair the damage. An hour earlier would have ?n il. ' us hack cither to seek material io bttlld the bridge or to postpone the trip. With the help of some |)lailks hastily placed across the gap wo scrambled over the slippery surfaces with a relieved feeling. It was just Mere thai We cail.e to the meiinGSt piece of road on the run. about one-half mile being ploughed up foi repairs, which, with the effect of the cloudburst, had become a very t|Ungmirc, into which j we sank to the axles, bat the great power and ability of our steam car for pulling hard in bad places carried up through without getting stalled. From hero on the gradual improve ment of tho road allowed us to make a little belter time and after many more railroad crossings, we ran into the town of Clinton. S. C. We were in formed that the streets of the city had boon under two feet of water the day before, and that we were the first ear to go through without great difficulty. With a little dry weather the worked part of the road will doubtless be in good condition at an early date. One leaves Clinton between the two railroad depots, following the Colum bia Newberry and Laurens track for about four miles. Turning to the right at the sign post becomes very good and is posted I lie whole way. so I hat good time may he made to Laurens, s. c. entering same in passing by the depot. Should one care to stop here there are several garages to house the car and good hotels. From Laurons to Greenville, about ; miles, is one of the best pieces of road on the trip, and though hilly in character, fast tlmo can bo made. The road parallels tho Charleston and Western Carolina Kairoad nearly the whole way and it is on this Stretch about ten miles from Greenville that one gets his first (dear view from the top of a hill of the distant Blue Ridge mountains. On this road also lue is confronted by a formidable looking sign at the town limits of Fountain Inn. S. ('.. that there will he terrible results if the speed Ilm!) of ten miles an hour through that up-to-date vll l?ge is exceeded, but one would hardly care to run much faster. This pros per.-,;::-. :::?(??'.::!: of the Piedmont district is well populatod, and many towns were passed. Wo left Greenville about midday, and here it is best to warn the travel, ler to start before noon, and that tin assurance of fellow motorists in Greenville, that the run over the moun tains ta Ashevllle, is an easy jaunt of four hours or so. can be taken with I a large m ain of salt, as under the ?nost favorable conditions one should allow himself six hours* time, consid erable delay being encountered in meeting horses and vehicles in awk ward and impassable places in the mountain pass, and the condition of the road is so rough and steep that se rious damage may be done the car unless driven over carefully. The won derful flexibility of our car was much appreciated, as in many places hard pulling and careful driving was nec essary to take some of the hairpin turns without getting in trouble. The situation is made more interesting also if one encounters rain, as we did; the road then becomes very slippery and skidding towards the edge of steep declivities gives one a very uncom fortable feeling. Without a moment's trouble, not ev en a puncture to a single tire, we drove from the seacost to the moun tains, straight across the longest sec tion of the State of South Carolina, over one of the roughest mountain grades, and established the fact that it is unite possible and veen enjoyable under good weather conditions, to go to Ashevllle, X. C. from Charleston. S. ('.. in a good powerful motor car. The following notes give the mile ages from city to city.
