Everybody ap? peared to have a good time. * On last Friday night another au? tomobile was wrecked on the Po? calla road. This makes two within three weeks. One turned upside down, the other downside up. In both cases the passengers were buried under the car, but no one was seriously hurt. Maybe the county board will some day realise the fact that this road should be widened. There will be a big basket picnic j at Pocalla by the Paxvllle folks on next Saturday. The Woodmen of the World will have a big basket picnic at Pocalla! on next Wednesday. It bids fair to be a big affair. Mr. and Mrs. Enos Cockerell lost a fo ar-montha-old baby boy on last Tuesday. They have the sympathy, of the community. We have had rain In our section regularly since last Saturday night. The ground la sure wet. In The N. C. Mountains. It Is quite dry up here In these mountains, and plenty of corn has not begun to bunch for tassel. I see In the papers accounts of the ravages of the grass worm. Should that pesl strike this country Just now, many very many, of these people would be reduced to starvation. These moun tains are full of people, lots of whom do not own a foot of land. They get good wages where they work tor oth? ers, from one to one and a half dol? lars. Of course they come at sunrise and work till sunset. I have not seen that set. Those I am acquainted with come at about eight o'clock and pos? sibly work till sunset. The land, an I may have sold before, la fertile so that all the expenae of the crop Is in making and gathering It. In many' placea the land la very rocky and this I coupled with the steep decline of the mountalna would seem to make culti? vation difficult. Just how they gather I corn has not appeared to me for In many places the mountains are sol steep that an empty wagon could not be drawn up the sides, and apples and peaches falling Just continue to roll. This Is destined to become one of] the great fruit regions of the world. I As before said, the people are Justj awakening to Its possibilities. The Holsten corporation, whoee landhold I Inga have already been mentioned inj your columns, have thousands of | young trees, some of which are load? ed with the finest of fruit which Is] being shipped as fast as gathered. I {would not be surprised If in the fu? ture they control the fruit output of this region. Don't listen to any one who tells] you peaches can not be grown here, for It Is not true, as I have seen with my own eyes peaches as fine as you ever looked at. I passed over the traek of a water spout yesterday, not a cloudburst, simply, but a waterspout. Just think if you can, of water half leg deep on the side of a ateep mountain and all don" In fifteen minutes. Hut they do not often come. They are destructive when they do, for they have been known to move houses from their foundations. You can easily see that to be overtaken by one woul 1 mean almost certain death. "Hagood." Altapass.

They suffered slight in? juries. it was said at the hospital tonight that all had suffered internal injuries and that many bones were broken. It is supposed that the party was returning to Campobello after a day spent in the mountains. The automo? bile, which turned over, was preceded by the machine of J. D. Caldwell, president of the Campobello Oil Mill company. The party in the first automobile seeing that the other car had been delayed turned back. After driving sever*! yards they found the wreck. The wrecked car was found lying across the railway track in the deep cut The occupants had been knock? ed unonscious by the fall and were lying on the track. The Southern passenger train was due in a few min? utes. The little daughter of J. D. Caldwell ran down the . track several hundred yards and flagged the train. All of the injured were placed on train No. ill and carried to Tryon, a few miles away where medical at- j tentlon was given. They were placed on the night train for Spartanburg. A heavy rain had fallen and the road was slippery. The highway fol? lows the Southern railway track prac? tically all the way from Landrum to Tryon. According to details of the accident reaching here the car wsf being driven at slow speed. The rear wheels slipped and in an instant the ? machine fell down the embankment to the railway tracks 30 feet away. The machie turned over several times. HELD OX SERIOUS CHARGE.

Court's Decision Clarities Pure Food Law. On June 13, 1914, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting at Cincinnati In the Sixth Federal Dis? trict, handed down a decision con? firming the judgment of the Lower Court in the Coca Cola ease. This case waa originally brought before Judge Sanford of the District Court of the United states for the Eastern District of Tennessee on March lu, 1911 and was tried at great length be? fore a jury at Chattanooga, Tenn. A score of scientists, including the most eminent chemists, pharmacologists and physicians of America, testified us expert witnesses. At the conclu? sion of the trial the government with? drew all of the charges expect two and on these two the Court instructed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the Coca Colo company. The case was then appealed, and the recent decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati, con firming the judgment of the Lower Court, sustains the claim of the Coca Cola company, that its product Is neither adulterated nor inhfbrandcil within the meaning of the T?re F?tal Act. The following quotation from the ? official court record will prove inter? esting alike to the manufacturers and consumers of food producta as it gives a clear exposition of one. of the mos; Important sections of the Cure Food law and also defines the character o. Coca Cola, the popular soda fountain beverage It reads as follows: "There is a middle view, which Is sufficient for the purpose of this case. und which will recognise the com? posite meaning of "added deleterious" rather than the separate meaning of each word. This view is that in using the word 'added" with reference to a possibly deleterious food ingredient, congress had in mind an addition above and beyond the quantity in which such ingredient was normal!) found in usual and customary articles of food, ami that no such Ingredient should be considered as "added" if it was present only in the quantity in which it existed in these common ar? ticles of food with which every member of congress was familiar, and which' had generally been thought wholesome. Fur example: Creosote and other products of destructive wood distillation are, Independently considered, injurious, but they have always been present In smoked hams. Can the addition of the same preser? vatives to the same extent to the same meat be something that congress intended to prohibit? The boric acid, found in apples, is a preservative. If certain apples which are to be pie served are not up to the maximum in this element, did congress intend to forbid supplying the deficiency by tin same element from another source? Acetic icld may, of course, be inju? rious, but If, by its use, an artificial vinegar Is made which is chemiciill> ami in every way equivalent to the natural vinegar familiar to tin mem? bers of congress in many compounds, would they have thought <>t it as a deleterious addition? N<? example I* so clear as tin- very one here Involv? ed, Kvcry member <d congress had been familiar, from childhood, With tea and coffee; perhaps most of them drank it.

Lewis W. Ilaskell, Consul at Belgrade, and Wife, Sought by State Depart? ment. Washington, Aug. h.?The state de? partment was aide today to throw ab? solutely no light on the whereabouts of i.< wis W. Ilaskell, consul at Bel? grade, Sorvia, and Mrs. Ilaskell, who left London for the former city some? thing like three weeks ago, although Congressman Lever, at the request of relatives and friends in South Car? olina, held two consultations with the olliciala of the department concerning the matter. Several days ago friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ilaskell, having become alarmed at the war situation and fearing that they might be harshly dealt with, Communicated with Mr. Liover and Mked Mm to use his best efforts in locating them, if that were possible under existing circumstances. Mr. Lever at once became busy with the matter and since that time the state department has been in touch with its olllcials abroad in the hope of trying to locate the missing consul and his wife. When efforts were made today to lind out when something might be ex? pected to result from the depart? ment's efforts all that was forthcom? ing was that they would be found if human agencies under existing cir? cumstances could be relied upon. Everything across the Atlantic, it was explained, is in such a state of wir that it may be some time before any? thing delinite can be heard regard? ing the movements of Mr. and Mrs. Ilaskell during tlie past week or ten days.
