SUBLIME SCENES AMONG THE ALPS
BY w. n.

Bernie, August 2.-On the 2sth of July
We travelled from Milan to Lucerne
-21S miles. This route leads over
the St. Gothard Railroad, one of the
most picturesque and sublime In
the world, with IS tunnels, one of which
is 9 miles in ~length-the longest in the
world. With the Alps above you and fer
tile valleys With green fields beneath it is
a scene rarely equaled. Time and again
the read crosses its own path, and you
can look down the almost perpendicular
sides OF the mountain and see the holes
still smoking whence your train just
emerged. Ever and anon you cross some
rushing stream a hundred feet below you.
At times cascades can be seen IN the
| distance like silver ribbons hanging on
| the mountain from summit to base, while
the Hottest peaks are crowned with pei
petual snow. On account Of the tOpO-
graphy of the country Brunig Pass has
been a gateway from the time of the Ro-
mans till the present. In 1892 the French,
after several Iepulses, gained a victory
over the Austrians, which was the begin
ming of the French supremacy. In the
afternoon we arrived at Luceine, lying on
a lake of the same name with mountains
in every direction, rising at an angle Of
almost IS degrees. We assembled one OF
these on a cable car, and viewed the
country, city and lake in their beauty
and grandeur. Lucerne is a town of 5000
inhabitants, with more hotels to its sizG
than any other place l ever saw. The
stores are novel with their many trinkets
carved and cut in wood and stone. These
is sold mainly to tourists for souvenirs
who throng the place from all parts Of tn,
world. The architecture represents
} period of at least SIX centuries. Thi

have been in use since 1885, these letter

which had the largest dining room ever
seen. Here Swiss maidens in native cos
tunes waited on us, who with their fair
compilations and gilt apparel were quite
impressive. Here let me say that "Vic-
toria' hotels are all over Europe, and we
have occupied nearly a dozen Of this name.
If Lucerne is beautiful this place IS mag
nificent. The city has a population OF
nearly 30, 900, with immense stores. beau
tiful streets, shaded with walnut and
plane trees trimmed to the same size.
Beautiful flower gardens add additional
charms to the residences and to the hotels.
From here we took a train Is miles to
Grindelwald. A ride of three miles from
this place carried US to the Uppe"
Glacier and Blue Grotto. Here We saw
the first glacier our eyes beheld. 1t was
one of the rarest privileges Of life. The
ice and snow are ever descending and per
petual. Occasionally an avalanche OF
snow will come down that can be heard
like thunder for miles away. One such
occurred while we were gazing. A party
was submerged here and killed by getting
too near a few years ago. The Grotto is
a cave cut in the solid mass of ice. In
this we walked one hundred yards. At
the base Of the glacier a river flows from
the melting ice. I learned that the ad
jacent towns get their ice supply here

A Citizen Speaks Out For pickens,

I note that very little has ever
been sud about Our town, It's nat.
ural advantages, climate and un.
limited resources of the town and
surrounding country.
First. Few people have ever
thought that Pickens is, for a fact,
one of the best places for ceiling
goods In this whole up~oountry
this fact is evidenced. for instance
by the enterprising firm of Heath.
Bruce-Morrow 90. They were far.
oighted men who came from O. dis.
tance here and located one of the
largest department stores In thu
state' carrying in stock at least
$50, 900, and why2 Because of the
wide territory surrounding, and a
productive soil, which will be and
Is now being rapidly settled up by
thrifty farmers and business men.
The merchants of Piokens are do~
ing at least 100 per cent more bu 81.
ness now than they were five years
ago.
Second. Piokens County IL teen.
ing with minerals of all descr,n-
tions and hardwoods of all kinds
are in abundance everywhere. t
say what can hinder the town of
Pickens from being thrifty, thriv-
ing city, situated right in the heart
of all the natural advantages.
Third. There is no locality in
the whole of our loved Piedmont
section that has such a wonderful
climate, and thereis no reason why
our town should not be one of the
frst summer resorts of the up
country, equalltng if not superior
to Asheville, N. G.,
