sr's Head is so called because Of a
lliar shaped rock at the summit OF
mountain which bears q striking re-
Hance 70 nothing that has ever
n seen before in the history Of the

richly speaking, il is hardly noun

South Carolina and objects as

seen distinctly by means OF the
ed eye.
asar's Head there is a clean and
lfious hotel with a capacity OF

lace 10 remain in during the hot
Is OF July and August. 1t is not an
ing life, but it is healing, soothing
eIevating. 10 is very rare that one
raspot so nearly ideal, even liz this
teal mountain country of the Blue
idge.
Very little crime is found here at
,sar's Head and malaria cannot exist.
lineral springs occur here, as they are
% 10 do within a few yards Of all sum-
Ter hotels. They contain prOtoxide OF
on, chlorine, magnesia, siltcic acid and
ain American water.
ohere is 8 daily mail at this hotel,
6Sslp and a pack Of cards. The
rmoheter never rises above 20 de-
ees, and did not even during the ter
Die heat OF July, this year.
The respiratory organs seem to take
new interest In their job here, and the
ugglsh blood may be observed 10
iantle in the cheek Of the invalid. The
stance from Greenville is twenty
.Qht miles; from HenderSonville, TWEEN
y-six miles; from Fletcher station on

ON Europe, $500 miles via ASheville.
An easy way TO 90 is TO wire Hender-
3nyilIe for a team and take the Rich
ond and Danville road for that point,
aving the team ready and provided
lth a large lunch. Diseases OF the
Dgs throat and nervous system

I'D not advise this course FOR others.

God deal of the way and tried TO follow

lq can be less dignifed than a saddle
orso hitched 10 a phseton riding TO

We started from Fletcher armed with
map made from memory by DR..
fletcher. Oar course was mainly south,
long the course OF the French Broad
yer toward its head. We crossed Mud
-eek, a Sullen torrent which looked
lme like the Chicago water supply and
assed on through the musical woods.
ur road was fringed with flowers and
erries, the berry season being contin-
Gus from May TO September. Then
.uits Of other kinds are plenty every
here.
I,aterion we passed a mission school,
! the door of which sat a big, plain boy

reeted Us pleasantly with his thumb on

At Calhoun we paused for refresh
