prevailing material is sticky clay, and
the predominant color is brick red. The
material is finely divided, and is cut
with astonishing by running water.
The solid bedrock. especially in the
more hilly portions. lies at depth Of
so feet or more beneath the surface Of

In the South mountain district Of
North Carolina have seen holes / 5 feet
in depth, and Of size to accommodate
n cart and yoke Of oxen. worn in the
road during the course of few days Of
heavy rains. The greatest care is neces-
sary in driving over such roads, as the
pits have often projecting rim, which
serves to effectually conceal them from
view. Driving, except in full daylight,
is clearly impossible.
1t is during rain that the mountain
roads give the traveller his full share Of
occupation. There are no bridges, but
the small creeks are crossed by fords
and the rivers by ferries. After a very
few hours Of heavy rain the deep red
soil has become slough of mud, every
little stream has increased two or three
times its normal size and the water has
become the color Of the ground. These
little creeks have most sociable way
Of accompanying the road on its jour
ney, sometimes for several hunds ed
yards. Consequently during storm the
road is turned for the time into boil
ing torrent of muddy water. Frequent,

tances in front Of the horses in order tC
make sure that the road has not been
destroyed. Each step must be carefully
tested with feet braced against the
current to see that the depth Of water
is not too great to allow the wagon tc
pass.
The roads described were seen only
during the summer. 1t is difficult tt
imagine what must be their condition
during the more inclement portions oi
the year. 1t is to be presumed that
these mountain roads are occasionally
repaired, but | have never seen mer

main roads leading from one portion OF
the region to another
The work already done in portions OF
the south, as that about Washington,
and in the case Of a more southern city
that on the roads about Atlanta, goes
far to prove that good roads in the
south can be made Road metal of good
quality, both quartz, trap and lime
stone, is in the greatest abundance, and
labor is exceedingly cheap. Surely SC
beautiful region as that of the south
ern Appalacbians should possess at least
one good highway, fitted for use Of the

Streams Must De Forded.
In the more settled portions Of the
United States the demand for good
roads has produced within the past five
years astonishing results. Throughout
New England. the middle Atlantic
states and in the larger cities and farm
ing districts of the west the old country
turnpike and the side hill cart path are
being rapidly replaced by well con-
structed roadways Of stone. We have
not yet come TO that millennial stage
when roads shall be graded around
every hill and carried gently through
steep passes of the mountains, but no
traveller can deny that the new move
ment for better road accommodations
has already achieved much that is bene-
fetal
To show, however. that there still
remains a vast field for workers in the
line of the amelioration Of highways, l
will describe in part some roads over
which it was lately my misfortune TO
travel. writes correspondent Of The
L. A. w. Bulletin. The journey extend
ed distance of over 600 miles over the
widest part of the Blue Ridge
One naturally looks for primitive
conditions in so thinly settled region
as that of western North Carolina, east
ern Tennessee and northern Georgia.
A lack, however, of the first principles
of highway construction, such as one
sees exhibited there, seems scarcely to
be expected in a region. close by and be-
tween great trunk lines of railroad and
whose limits are only few hours dis
tant from cities of the Atlantic sea-
board.
In no portion of our long journey was
there an instance of an attempt to les

ing the road to swerve from its direct
course. Almost invariably the roads 20

In many places it is possible to see the

in the road that the wagon rests easily

nearly every such case the road might

nation, and the coming of the Congregs-
tionalists. Always there seemed to be an
overplus OF ministers, and during the
summer this colony was regularly called
upon for clergymen to supply pulpits In
the vicinity,s call that had always been
cheerfully answered.
A well-deserved tribute was paid to Mr..
Hartshorn, Prof. Ropes, Mrs. Emery and
others whose indefatigabIe industry and
perseverance had SO largely contributed
to the compilation Of the work in hand
Feeling allusion was made to Prof
Ropes, who was unable to be present, and
to Mrs. S. N. Mcfarland to whom the
society is indebted for the gift OF the
land on which the chapel stands, and
who was, owing to inirmities, kept away

Wardwell "losns" the society, but
facetiously says it won't be called for for

ances, and appropriate, OF course, to the
occasion. DR.. Vose made the dedicatory
prayer.
Mr.. Hartshorn read the report OF the
executive committee Of the chapel society
as follows:
The chapel at Hancock Point is not the result
of any sudden movement, but the outgrowth of
an increasing need. For a number of years,
through the kindness of clergymen and others
interested in Christian work, who have made the
Point their summer home, religious services
have been held at the hotel and cottages, and for
the last three seasons, in vacant buildings en-
gagged for the purpose These accommodations
proved very inadequate, and the chapel seemed
q necessity.
The first steps towards its erection were taken
in August. 1897, when the Hancock Point chapel
society was formed. The purpose of this organ
ization. as named in its constitution. was to
build chapel for maintaining undenomina-
tional religious services.
The movement met with general favor. and
ISIS was raised for the building fund. Owing
to the business depression of 1898. 1t was not
thought best to urge the matter OF obtaining
pledges, but through quiet effort. about $500
more was raised, making the total receipts
sl.I75.
These gifts were free will offerings, made by
those who believe that the happiness of every
community depends upon Sabbath observance
and religious worship. They represent a large
number of people, from Maine to Colorado.

Prescott P. Heath, a well-known char
acter, died at the town farm Saturday,
aged seveuty-six years. He was native OF
Penobscot, and followed the sea during
the earlier part of his life. An accident
in early life clouded a life which might
have been of much more usefulness, AS Mr..
Heath was possessed of more than the
average capa bilities. In 1875 he set fire to
the house in which his wife and children
were sleeping. and from which they bare
" escaped. As far as can be learned, his
motive was fancied injuries and jealousy.

years In the State prison. He served out
his time with an allowance for good be-
harior.
Charles Rice died suddenly on the street
Saturday from heart disease. Mr.. Rice
was born at Esstport seventy-three years

port and for several years was in the
employ OF Daniel Remick. He devoted
several years to paper hanging and paint
ing. For several years he was book
keeper for Henry Sproul, Of Bar Harbor.
For the past ten years he has been
auditor of the town of Bucksport, and
has for several years had charge OF the

SONG RECITAL.


Among their many pleasures OF the
summer, the guests of Hotel Sorrento
will remember the song recital OF Miss
Mabel Monaghan, Of Ellsworth, given on
Tuesday evening. The entertainment
came almost at the seasons close, but the
long parlors OF the spacious hotel were
crowded with q cultivated audience who
gave the young singer most apprecistiye
attention.
OF the ten numbers which Miss Mona
CHAN rendered, her Regnevs nil siienzio"
from DoniZetti's Lucia di Lammermoor"
was perhaps the most brilliantly ex-
ecuted, but Foote's Irish folk song"
was sung with tenderness and taultiess
information that went straight to the
hearts of her listeners.
These were followed by Tosti's MAT
tinatta" and several ballads which gave
pleasing variety.
Miss Monaghan was gowned in simple
white, worn decoliete, and her stage pres
ence WAS dainty and artistic. She Was
chape,oned by Mrs. w. H. Lawrence, OF
Sorrento, at whose charming and hospit-
able home, "Idylewild," she was guest.
The accomplishments were most accept
ably played by Miss Jennie Russell, leader
of the orchestra at the hotel.

The benediction was pronounced by
Hancock.
After the benediction the gratifying
announcement was made that the offer
ings OF the morning amounted to 1856,
thus leaving but about f125 to be raised In
order to leave the society debt free. At
ter the service 1t was very broadly limited
that that sum would be forthcoming
within a week.
A delig htful feature OF the service was
the singing by Miss Mabel Monag han, OF
Ellsworth. After the Lords prayer she
sang Harriss 1.-THE Voice OF Jesus", and
after the prayer OF dedication Gounod s
Repentance.
Always 4 favorite at Hancock Point,
her most enthusiastic admirers declare
that never did she sing more accepts bly,.
Her work during the past year has added
power and brilliancy to her voice without
any loss Of the peculiar sweetness, purity
and magnetism that mark her as one of
the rare singers OF the day. Particularly
in the Gounod selection did she thrill the
audience, and many an eye was dimmed
with tears as the last note OF the pat hetic
strain fioated softly away.
Miss Josephine NJ. Wet han, OF Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, presided most accepta bly,
at the organ throughout the service.
During the singing by the congregation
the organ was supplemented by the violin
played by Mr.. Drummond.
Altogether 1t was q most delightful &C.
casion, and it is little wonder that after
the exercises were over a large majority
Of the congregation fingered long and
lovingly about the charming edifice, ex-
changing greetings and showering we'll

have been SO largely instrumental in
bringing the movement for chapel to so
suspicious Conclusion.
