A Visit TO 4 Ashevllle, N. O.

Mr.. EDITOR: We have been requested
by several persons who accompanied us
to the "Land of the Sky" to write up the
trip for the benefit of those who did not
20, and with your permission we will de.
scribe the trip as near as we can.
The first thing that attracts the eye Of
the visitor is the Kennelworth Inn. It Is
a'lofty structure, aituated on the top of 9
mountain, and Ia plainly visible for miles
around. It reminds one Of Europe In
the dark ages. We seemed to hear the
shouts Of the people as some victorious
knight marched up to his lady and placed
the crown Of laurel on her fair brow as
we stood on the car platform. The Inn
reminds one of some ancient feudal cas-.
tie as It nestles there on the mountain
side.
We first visited Lookout Mountain,
and the scenery is worth climbing the
mountain to behold. Tall mountains
loom up en- every side, crowned with ma
iestic oaks and chestnut, while here and
there one catches q glimpse of some
beautiful villa. Down In the valley the
beautiful Swaunanoa wends its way in
pretty curves, like silver thread. From
this point the scenery is enchanting and
sublime. While we were drinking in the
beautiful landscape bugle blast sudden
" burst forth with its melodious notes,
awakening a thousand echoes. We
thought Of Scott in his "Lady Of the
Lake,:
"The rocky dingle's hollow throat,
Prolonged the bugle's winding note"
We could not help raising our eyes to
heaven, and giving thanks to merciful
Providence for allowing US the pleasures
Of the trip.
While we were waiting for the trolley
q pretty little "school marin" came up to
take the car to town. Oh! the bliss OF
those few moments-can we ever forget
it? Just imagine yourself seated In q
beautiful grove, with pretty little fairy
sitting by your side, whose voice Is
sweeter than the music Of rippling wa
ters, and whose eye is prettier than the
gazelle's, and whose step is more grace
full than the fawn's. Then is 1t any won
der that we were smitten ?-yea, verify,
we were entanGled by Cupid's net so
tight that we doubt If we ever get out.
We visited Bingham Heights, on the
Swanonoa. One gets lovely view from
this point.
Ws would like to narrate all we saw,
but space forbids; but we must not neg
lect to mention the beautiful scenery
around Saluda Gap. Here the grade is so
steep that it requires two engines to pull
us up to the depot. All up the noun
tains tho ivy and honeysuckles are in
full bloom, and the breeze is laden with
their elysian odors. Here we dash
through rock cut, and are whirled out
into valley, which spreads out before
us, with its velvet carpeting Of clover
and blue grass.
We enjoyed the trip, and we are proud
to say We had no disorder. Everything
passed off pleasantly and quietly. We
return our thanks to the Messrs. Smith
for thu trip. A. L. g.

The Soldiers Colony.

ATLANTA, July 9.-Mr. P. H. Fitzger-
aid, of Indianapolis, organizer of the Sol
diers' Colony which is to be brought to
Georgia from the Northwest, 90, 900 strong,
arrived here today to close the contract
for thirty thou sand acres Of Georgia
farming lands. The land lies in Wilcox
and Irwin counties, the center of the
lumber region. It was secured through
Ex-Governor Northern of the Georgia
Bureau of Immigration. Mr.. Fitzgerald
says the statements of J. w. Sapp that
the lands are not prolific, is prejudiced, /,
as Sapp represents land agency at
Murfreesboro, Tenn, and in no sense
was an investigator for the syndicate he
represents. AS for his movement, Mr..
Fitzgerald says it is well organized, has
full plans mapped out and the colony will
start South in the fall. He will make the
first payment of S125, 900 on the lands he
has purchased tomorrow. He evidently
has powerful backing and the colony is
materializing beyond doubt. It will be
composed of war veterans and others from
many States of the West and Northwest.

= Last week In Columbia Judge Town
send ordered several jurors in a dispen-
sary case to stand aside because they ad-
mitted TINT they were opposed to the law.
These jurors declared that while they
objected to. the law they we're not opposed
to It's enforcement, and they said that
they would render verdict according to
the law andthe evidence. This did not
suit the Judge, and he,beld that the men
who took this view Of the dispensary act
we're not competent to try cases arising
under 1t. If this ruling is to prevail
generally in the Courts there win be
trouble in getting juries. A great many
laws On our statute books are objections
sblsto the masses. although they believe
that it is right to enforce them SO long as
they remain unrepealed. TO hold that
these men are disqualified hom acting as

ment of our resources generally. In
Carolina could we'll afford 10 remit the
taxes on such line for ten years, or en-
ploy her convicts in: grading such road
free to any company that might then
complete and run it, for the completion
of such line across the State $50 miles, at
an assessment of $4,000 per mile, would
add to our taxable property $2,5O0,O 600.
Then, whatever we do, let US not re-
peat the mistakes of the past, but let US
pull ourselves together and have this
road. With it built anywhere else means
dry rot for Anderson.

The Southern Planter says the COM
pleted returns Of the cotton crop of 1894
have now been published, and show the
crop to have been one Of 9,476, ,435 bales,
the largest crop ever grown. An exami-
nation of the details of this crop show
how utterly impossible it is for cotton
growing to be profitable, even at price
much in excess Of that obtained fol- this
crop under existing conditions Of pro-
duction. The largest production per
acre was in Arkansas, where nearly half
a bale per acre was grown. In North
and South Carolina, about one-third Of a
bale per acre was raised, whilst in Yir-
ginia not quite quarter of bale was
grown per acre. With such yields as
these, even If cotton sold for ten cents
per pound, no planter could afford to
grow it, and at the same time purchase
his home supplies. A third Of a bale per
acre, even at ten cents per pound, means
only S16 per acre gross returns. AT five
cents per pound, 1t means only IS per
acre. When the cost of the labor and
fertilizer is deducted, the balance cannot
leave anything wherewith to buy meat,
bread and clothing. Yet, notwithstand-
ing all that We have said on the subject,
and the fact that for many years planters
have been saying that they cannot make
cotton for less than ten cents per pound,
large numbers still persist in planting
cotton and neglecting their food supplies.
It is true that the crop area for this year
shows reduction Of Is per cent, and 1t
may fairly be presumed that a larger
area is planted in corn, yet it will need a
much greater change than this to bring
prosperity to Southern cotton, planters.
We trust that the experience Of the past
year is going to be a lesson for the future,
and that every effort will be made to
increase the prod uction of home supplies.
It is not too lateyet to make fodder for
live stock, and potatoes, both sweet and
Irish, for home consumption, for man
and beast.
