One OF the most picturesque and de-
ligntful sections of North Carolina is
what is known as the Sapphire country.
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 5000
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
or the many attractive features, per-
haps among the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphire Lakes. No where else in the
south at this altitude are there such
bodies of water. There are towering
cliffs, rising abruptly for thousand
feet from their shores and cascades of
rare beauty falling directly into the
lakes from the lofty table land sur
rounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and parti-
calarly adapted to those troubled with
hay-fever, being also free from ali ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of 50 de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and The
Lodge, afford excellent Accommodations
for guests.
For further information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any
agent of the Southern railway, or
write G. A. Benscoter, A. G. 2. A.,
Chattanooga, TEMP. or J. Q. Andrews

Chief Wilkie, after giving the notes
the most thorough examination, dis
covered that they were made by the
Photographic process and by an expert
workman. There was only one man
known to the department who was
skillful enough to do the work and that
was the man known as J. @. McKib-
ben.
Chief Wilkie turned the matter over
for investigation to Chief Assistant
Burns. Mr.. Burns went Immediately
to the east to look up McKibben's re-
cord. He found that the suspected
man had been arrested in Texas for
counterfeiting and confined in the
United States prison at Leavenworth,
and while serving his sentence there,
he, with four other men, James and
Ham Stewart. Charles Banks and A.
M. Trutt, was, December II, 1896,
charged with making S. notes. Nc
Kibben, as the prison photographer,
was allowed q room to himself and here
the work was done. The others
charged were all TRUSTEES and
they secured the paper necessary
to do the work from the driver of de-
livery wagon from Leavenworth. By
some process McKibben tinted the pa
per, making it bear remarkable re-
semblance to the government paper,
while the remainder of the work was so
artistically done that it would deceive
any but experts. The notes were coun-
terfeits of the Manufacturers National
bank of Leavenworth, and compare
lively few of them got beyond the walls
of the prison.s
&. An Indictment, Mr.. Burns discover
ed, had been filed against McKibben,
James Stewart and G. L. Banks in the
United States district court held at To-
peka, in April, 1897, by Rankin Mason,
assistant United States attorney. In
some way McKibben succeeded in hav-
away by putting up cash bond in July,
1897.
Scarcely was he free until he again
began making counterfeit money. AS

Detectives in working to clear VI
the mystery surrounding tae strange
disappearance of John Rohn, Sr., 6
wealthy lumberman from his home al
Patterdale, Pa, have unearthed 6
scandal of more than half century
ago, says the Philadelphia Times.
1t concerns the history of the Smoke

Smoke that she does not believe that
Mr.. Rohn is dead, but that he is de-
tanned as q prisoner somewhere, and
that he will return alive some day.
The mother is of the pronounced
negress type and she ia the direct oes-

At that time prominent white family
had young negro as q servant. whom
they nicknamed "Smoke." Physically
the servant was a fine specimen and he
was general favorite with members of
the family.
One of She children of the family was
pretty girl, then just budding into
womanhood. Imagine the chagrin and
modification of the proud parents
when they awoke one morning and
discovered that their beautiful daugh
ter had eloped with the negro SER
want.
The girl left message behind that
she aud her negro lover we're to be
married and that her friends should
not attempt to find them. For many
years nothing was heard of the clipping
daughter. Finally q raftsman from
Williamsport, who knew the woman,
saw her at Karthous. He was request
ed to carry a message to her parents.
TELL them,' she said, "that 1 am
happy aud have seventeen children.''
Smoke and his white bride had set

carried all of the paraphernalia neces-
sary for his counterfeiting. Kansas
and Oklahoma becoming too hot for

and from there operated along the
southwes ern border, sometimes in Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. and sometimes
in Old Mexico. But as he was con-
stautly in fear OF being returned to the
United States court at Topeka, he could
not establish himself at any one place
in as large quantities as he wished.
WORKED IN MEXICO.
He finally succeeded in the latter
part of last year in joining with him
several other shrewd counterfeiters
of Mexico and there began the work
upon Wholesale scale. Stocking
themselves with the queer" they
would then go down along the border
and pass it upon the people of the
smaller towns, the cowboys and In
dams, 10 exchange for Mexican money
or United States coin. Then before
they could be detected would again re-
tire into the mountains. 1t was this
that made their capture so difficult and
permitted them to continue so long
their operations. In the spring, how
ever, McKibbin ventured along the
border with q sort of biographical ex-
hibition. Several times he was almost
in the power of the authorities, but
through confederstes was warned and
escaped into Mexico.
About two months ago Operative
Burns learned, while in Kansas that
McKibben was giving his exhibitions
along the Texas border. He FASTENED
to the point at which he was last heard
of: but again he fed into Mexico. Then
began a chase over that country. The
detective traced the fugitive to the
City of Mexico. his only clue at times
