could you give employment at once to
one so affiicted?'
This is n healthy state. I have said so
before. The western part of the state
/ has climate like that of Turin. say
! this without wishing to keep any one
away from Turin. TO show you how
| people retain their faculties here, copy
i the following from the Atlanta Consti-
! tuition:
! DIR. +. s. Warlck reports n case in the South
mountain section of Burke county, y. c.. which
is one of the most remarkable record, il We
except the Scriptural story of Sarah. Mrs.
William +. Smith, of Upper Fork township,
gave birth to child, circumstance which
would have created very little comment in the
South mountain had it not been that the day
on which the child was born happened To be
Mrs. Smiths SEVENTEEN birthday. The child
was alive and we'll formed, and the physicians
all say this beats the record.
1t is not so common at the ago of
eighty or ninety to be able to read fine
print i'll the mountains, because some
have neglected to read coarse print while
young, out health and long life and Il
pleasing mixture of children and grand
children are features of this most Won
derful air.
But hardly feel like engaging help
here that is troubled with hip disease,
for half of these cripples recover so soon
that they run away before l can supply
their places. l got a good man to help
me with light work (as he had formerly
worked i'll a lighthouse. He had eleven
hemorrhages on the way here and was
brought on n mattress to the house, but
the following morning he quarreled

jaw with single blow declared he
would not live in such - lawless
country and rode back to East Hamp-
ton. Mass, on my bicycle.
We only ask that people who are benc-
fitted by our climate will give it proper
credit. 1t gneves us like everything to
have friends come here breathing with
anything they can get hold of and then
go away with large, nice, new red lungs
and claim that it was Bears soap that
did it. That makes us irritated and
choleric.
Come freely with your abcesses and
PARKWAY looks, your tlc-Eva- goodby-
Unclc-Tom air, your tallyhoes and
tubercles. Bring them all. Come and
cough up with the country. But when
the glow of health as you ride horseback
comes to your we'll rounded checks. and
also to the place under the saddle where
the hair is worn off the back of the de-
Jected horse, do not go back home and
say that you owe it entirely to IL pro-
tectivc tariff.
The item in the Atlanta Constitution
is true, but not complete. 1t should
have added that while Mrs. Smith was
1nl, l.
Smith, her husband, was working alone
on my justly celebrated we'll, which is
1O2 feet deep, and bringing up the granite
fragments in a bushel basket held in his
teeth, running up and down the rope
hand over hand like Il cat, and cleaning
out the we'll preparatory to putting i'll
the plumbing. Mrs. Smith is his second
wife, and they have lived together us
man and wife for fifty years.
During the war they lived on bank
of edible clay and distant relative
Mr.. Smith regards his present health as
result entirely of the ozone and I'm.
restrained ballot of this state.
He has been mistaken several times
for another William e. Smith, of Lower
Fork township, who is one of the pro-
! foundest liars in the state, barring none.
This has given Mr.. Smith cause for much
sorrow, and lie has often wished that he
was dead, but that is out of the ques-
ton in this climate.
Asheville has large and prosperous
cemetery filled entirely with people from
the north who waited five or ten min
utes too late before coming here. Health,
here is SO good and one feels so perfectly
vigorous that the monotonous longevity
drives some to drink. The pale, white
juice of the Early Dent corn is used fol
this purpose, and yields grateful
warmth, followed by healthy glow
and afterwarl by coma, stertorou;
breathing, incoherent lnutterings and
other signs of the third party.
