and others visited the Knob to ascertain
the true condition of affairs. They were
unable to determine to what to attrib-

danger of volcanic eruption. Col.
Clingman, of Asheville believed that the
smoke was caused by natural gas.
This natural gas theory of Colonel
Clingman's has held sway in the minds

Citizen of oil men here prospecting for
oil and gas we begin to think that they
are after us and that our hopes in this
respect are at last to be realized. This,
however, remains yet to be seen.
Most all kinds of theories have been
