use. The sweet potato crop has
become one of the important
money crops of this country.
Farmers raise thousands of bush>
els, which are marketed from Jan
uary to June at fair prices. Nearly
every farm has its potato house,
for storing and saving this crop.
The houses are built something
on the plan of an ice house, with
arrangements for keeping the
the temperature at the same, by
heating or ventillating in the
coldest or hottest of weather. The
weather has been too dry for this
crop, but farmers say they ex-
pect better returns from it, than
anything they have grown this
season.
From our car windows, we no.
t'ced at every city, town and sta-
ton, new buildings going up,
and general appearance of thrift
and prosperity; while in the coun
try a! long the line of travel, farms,
on the most part, presented the
appearance of desolation. Such
being the case, we are not sur
prised at the tendency of farmers
leaving the country, and moving
to the towns. OPTIMUS.

OPtimus on an Outing in Western
North Carolina.

ohiy those VINO nave expert
enced an outing among the noun
tains of Western North Carolina,
know the anticipations of such
trip for weeks, and even months,
before it occurs. We have been
enjoying such outings for a nuns
Der of Summers, and had planned
one for July, this Summer, but
owing to i'll health and other
causes, we did not get our expec-
tations realized, until Sept LIST;
when we boarded the eally train
on the S A l. and with the early
dawn, bid good bye to Van Wyck
and = few friends, who came out
to the depot to see us off. This
September morning, the air was
cool and bracing, and greatly en-
Joyed, after being housed up for
several hot Summer months. We
had a tedious wait of one and half
hours at Monroe, when the & G.
pulled up and we boarded it for
Llncolnton. This train was pretty
well filed with passengers for the
springs, and other Summer re-
sorts. At Lincolnton, the depot
was thronged with hackmen and
liverymen, anxious to carry pas
sengers to the hotels and springs.
AS we had to use crutch, we
were more besieged than any
others, and one extra, polite
driver, smiling addressed US:
"Boss, l know you are going out
to Lithia Springs, l have the best
carriage and the best pair of horses
in town, wants the job of taking
you out there" Those who
know our propensities for good
vehicles, fast horses and good
things, know such an invitation
was hard to resist. After a three
hours wait at Lincolnton, We
boarded the Narrow Gauge for
Newton, arriving there, at Q
o'clock p IN where we found a
team awaiting us, and were driven
out in the country, seven miles to
our boyhood home and trampIng
grounds, where we are enjoying
pure mountain air, chrystal water
and living on the fat of the land.
At Newton, we noticed mum.
ber OF little fruit venders at the
train with baskets Of peaches, (the
first we had seen this season, J
which they sell, two for a nickel.
The fruit looked luscious, of ordi-
nary size. and sold readily. These
little fruit sellers, have had a
bonanza in their business, owing
to the scarcity, and great demand
for fruit. The peach crop in this
country, was medium fair, and
gave the lucky ones, nice in-
come from their orchards. The
crop was easily marketed Mt one
dollar per bushel. The apple
crop in the mountains, is good,
and will soon be on market, which
will bring the growers nice
revenue, as good prices are ex-
pected. Field crop here, and all
along our line of travel, are very
poor, in fact the poorest we have
ever seen. We have seen large
fields of corn, that will not make
? one bushcl To the acre, and some
that will not make the seed that
was planted. The cotton crop is
also very poor, and rapidly, pae-
maturely opening. The pea vine
and hay crop are almost total
failures. These crops failures
here, do not mean for these pee
pie, what they would mean for
our South Carolina farmers.
