What Beverage Did Nc
Kinley Drink at Ashe-
Vile? Did He Neg
lect Wine?

President McKinley's trip to
Asheville has drawn attention to
one Of the most picturesque regions
in the world. Long before the
war it was noted for its dry climate
and bracing atmosphere, and since
then newcomers have built city
on air. The streets end the houses
have their brick and mortar, but
the real foundation of Asheville is
an exhilaratipg, aerial champagne
that stimulates to the point of
intoxlcation.
1t is said that Major Mckinley,
having tasted this beverage,
neglected wine of The vintage of '43
and even the protection punch that
Mr.. McKissick brewed in his honor.

panorama and drinking IN the
amhrosial air that comes over the
mountains, a man forgets the
monotony of every day life and

The roads, which are perfect,
wind through miles OF flowers that
mingle their perfumes in
indescribable bouquets. The wild
flowers of this region and exotics
from all parts of the world grow
up together. The mountain laurel
and the rhododendron grow side
by side, and the running
honeysuckle is joined with rarer
plants in the same border. Miles
of spruce add balsam line the roads,
and all about the hills and slopes
the indigenous and transplanied
shrlbs are intcrmingled 40 thai
