"Well," he continued, ut is not IN.
expected to me, nor to many members
Of tho South Fork Fishing Club. 1t has
always been sword Of Damocles, not
only 10 tho members OF the club, but to
others. The people OF Johnstown have
always feared 1t. Time and again the
dam has been examined and every time
1t was pronounced safe; but no one
knew when II would break"
Mr.. Long is State Commissioner OF
Fisheries, and is member and for years
was Secretary OF the Western Pennsyl.
vania Sportsmen's Association. II was

South Fork Fishing Club Bprang. All
the original members Of tho fishing club,
and nearly every one who Is q member
now, belongs to the sportsmen's Asso-
citation.

The many ages Of land which formed
tho bottom OF the lake had originally
been meadows, and when the lake was
no longer needed the meadows reap
peared as thewater was drained of from
tie bottom.
The property was bought by tho South
Fork Fishing Club from Mr.. Reilly
The exact price paid none Of the mem
bers OF the club Who were seen las

on the basis Of q membership limited Il
100 persons, tile shares being placed Al
$500 each and each member being ~
quired to own two shares before beinl
entitled to the privileges Of membership
Nearly $4,000 was expended In put

dition to money spent in other improve
ments. Then arrangements were made
for tho erection Of q hotel and cottages
Every member who desired to put up
coLtage within six months was allowed
a plot OF ground 100 feet square.
There are now about sixty member
OF the club, Of whom sixteen have cot
tages. Commencing from the lower emf

4 Horseback Opinion OF the Up-Country
Of the Palmetto state.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
WALHALLA, November 16, 1889.
This town may be- termed the Jumplng-OH
place in South Carolina, as here the Blue
Ridge railroad terminates very suddenly
bv tanning its last rail into u cut made IN
the middle Of hill near the courthouse
in this town.
The town was originally settled by Ger:
mans. and recently q colony Of thirty OF
their cOuntrymen settled here, none OF
whom can as yet speak English.
A Richmond man visiting tins section
will have his .preconceyed opinions
changed. First of all. he will find the ell
mate about the same as 1t Is IN virginia;
second. he Will find the people pro-
nOuncing many of their words after the
latest northern fashion; third, while the
country is almost wholly undeycl0ped a3
to cultivation and manutac tories, he VIII
learn that the land IS productive or nearly
every crop that the best Virginia lands Will
bring except tobacco, and some farmers
advance the opinion that even tobacco can
be grown successfully by one familiar with
its cultivation and handling
Notwithstanding the wildness OF this re-
gion and its primitive state game Is not ~
abundant as within ten or twelve miles OF
Richmond. although II Is Just at the loot
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with all ITS
thousands OF acres OF via Ihhu anu lucas
There are no deer, no turkeys, and but lew

appear that this would be a natural lar OF

have not met man with gun on his
shoulder, but many with packs. In All my
stops at houses have never had u dog 10

keep dogs at all. The "yallow" bob-talled
cur that often guards the doorway IN W.

Virginia senegamban ready 10 startle the
stranger out OF his skin finds no place IN
the heart Of the inhabitant OF these red
and rocky hills--a nuisance well rld or.
Another surprise that awaits the stranger
in 0conee county is that at an election
precinct where 200 votes are 9olled there
are only three Negro es and two OF them
invariably vote the straight Democratic
ticket and the other keeps his mouth
