cool cataract and think. They call me
indolent and hate me because l am sat
isfied with one full size mountain and
hesitate about scaling other peaks
which may not need IL. So they call
me the universal mistruster and take

There is a great deal OF wild land
about here. 1t is still sowing its wild
oats as l write these lines. A meeting
was held In June to promote immigra-
tloD into the South, there being so much
unimproved land. The convention was
held at Augusta, and the first half OF
the session was devoted 10 the glad re-
union OF the Governors OF North and
South Carolina, who made addresses, as
did most every body else, and the day
was devoted entirely to a general en-.
comium business. IL is too bad that this
rhetorical embroidery and symposium
OF wind could not give place TO actual
business and these almost unbounded
lands be opened up TO settlement instead
of running wild for ages while the own
ers pay taxes on them for generations
and actually suffer for the necessities
OF life.
The railroads, I am sure, are more
than generous and show more signs Of
meaning business than anybody else
perhaps, Offering many inducements TO
actual settlers who wish TO come either
from other portions OF the United States
or from abroad. provided they can give
the best OF references. Titled people,
especially from Italy, would be expected
to bring good certificates Of character
from their last place.

one OF my feet, so that l could not
move very well, but wished to see the
finish OF the race very much.
