SWannanOa Gap.

\ North Carolina poet translates
the musical Indian name Savanna
noa-''Nymph of Beauty" Those
who know more of the dialects of
the Red Men, and who do not care
TO avail themselves of any poetical
license, render it-"Chiet's PdH."
This translation, which is probably
the correct one, is justified by the
fact that the Indian Chiefs who
lived westward, beyond the Blue
Ridge, followed the our of the
Swannanoa River and crossed the
Swannanoa Gap whenever the War
God or the Hunters Moon tempted
them to wander from their noun
tain businesses in search of alien
tribes to scalp and despoil, or of the
abundant game to be found in the
eastern hunting grounds. History
tells of HannibaI's perilous march
over Mount Gents, under whose
t~unnelled depths modern progress
already forces her laundering IN
gines. Indian traditions alone
commemorate the occasional hegira
Of the aboriginal tribes whose
dauntless feet trod this Chiefs
Path, hidden among the peaks and
@orges of the blue mountains of
North Carolina-the Alps of
America Under this gap the iron
horse will soon force his darksome
way. Even as | write, the last
strokes are being given to the long,
damp, rock-archcd tunnel which

grandest scenery and the most de-
hghtful climate in the United
