Letter From Harrls Springs.

| HARRIS SPRINGS, July 2l.-IIcro we
! are ut this famous Watering place, en-
| j0ying the sights and drinking freely
til" delightful miuoral water which has
induced hearty appreciation of the
good things spread before us at the
| Harris hOStnlry. Now that We arc
| here, and in Wow OF what we have
! heard and read concerning this mineral
| spring in years past, VIC arc rather
amazed that VIC have not visited here
| sooner and received the benefits Of this
| health restoring mineral water. Jl is
| my firm conviction that any one con-
| tcmpl"ting visit to the mountains
should by all means stop ovcra Harris,
partakc copiously of this delightful
remedy from natures bountiful store
| house: thus the system becomes pro-
pared for changes in climate from the
low(ands to the uplands. The water
here is SO charmingly light and buoy
ant in effect, one easily forgcts the duh
cares of busy workaday existence,
! throws physic to tho dogs, and thanks
! God once moro for renewal of health
and strength.
| 1t is passing strange that so many Of
| us become cnamorcd in our business
| affairs and cngrosscd with schemes
| and plans and ventures of one kind or
other, that We often forget the ncccs-
sity providence lays upon us of care of
our bodies rs they relate to rest and
pleasure. My counsel is, it profits us
! to steal awhile away, and thus gct rid
| of the hum-drum mOnotony of daily toll
| and tho vcXatious worries that come to
us all. and by this method renew ON
mind and body in hcalthful vigor.
This is Il typical resort for the weary,
the fatigucd, tho ovcrworktd, whether
| at home or at the Office. Here too hap
! py young hearts find enough of romance
| to awaken their minds to gentle
thoughts Of love and conquest 1t is no
wonder then that such fine company
OF gentle folks arc here the young and
Old the gay and grave, spending happy
| moments in sweet rcvcrics and moro
serious contemplation. This is an ideal
| situation in many respects, tho air is
| soft and bracing, the views exquisite
and uplifting, the water health giving
ii vcritablc Ponce dc Leon. in rcstor:
| ing our bodies and reminding us of the
| days Of our adolescence.
| Ncwbcrry, as usual, has her cOntin-
gent here, for the people Of Ncwbcrry
have always appreciated this inc water
whether at the spring or at homo. BY
| the way, Mr.. Harris, mine host is a
"wholc team" and VIC owe him our pat
ronagc for developing resort SO very
accessible to and easily reached by the
| people of the interior Of the State
But it is not alone from all sections of
| South Carolina that patronage comes,
for here are visitors from Georgia and
| other States, fashionable as wcll as
| plain people who affect no prevailing
styles and customs.
One may do therefore as one wishes,
dance or not dance etc. land bo none the
less thought OF, for Indulgence or de-
nial. 1T is do us yon like, go when you
| y
fear or favor, from Quid nance or critic.
The reputation Of the water is grow
ing apacc, and shipments arc made
every day in all directions.

| in operation at all meals, the electric
light throught the hotel, the excellent
music dscOurscd from the wide vcran-
hods. the roof garden apartment for the
use Of Tcrpsichorcm dcvOtus. all re-
mind us of improvements, noticeable on
all sides.
The State Dental Association now in
| session here compOscs fine body of
men and their presence cnlivcns the
hours, some 10 or more being i'm attend

tion that not even the children have
been heard to whimpcr or complain of
toothachc or such like, the pains ana
aches disappearing like mistbcforc the
glorious sun of day, in vicw of doctors
with their sharp pointed and curious
looking instruments.
