The newspapers of the State, says
the Columbia Record, are very gene
rally urging the people to send only
the best men to the Legislature. Too
often voters are swayed by some
sentiment, or captivated, we may
say, by some peculiarity of speech
or manner of candidates and they
vote for them regardless OF their
mental or other qualifications for a
seat in the House of Representatives.
Any one who has visited the legis-
lative halls has seen men of this
character on the floor. The agitation
started by the newspapers ought to,
and will doubtless result in good. II

If the people will only send their

not at all necessary to have annual

Jocassee, August 12.-At the foot
of Lovers Leap, Boot Leg and Dou-
BILE Spring mountains is the beauti-
ful Jocassee Valley. This valley is
named after an Indian maiden. 1t
is said that many years ago two
tribes of Indians were living in
these mountains, aud engaged in a
feud. An Indian maiden, named
Jocassee, was in love with one of the
Indians of the tribe which lived at
that time on Eastatoe creek, a few
miles from this point, and one day
while one Of Jocassee's brothers was
out on hunt through the noun
tains, ne and this man (Jocassee's
lover came in contact with each
other, and the young brother sue
ceeded in scalping his sisters lover.
After doing SO he put the scalp in
his belt, returning to his tribe. AS
he was going up the Whitewater
river he met his sister aud father,
who were wading. (The point ex-
actly unknown). The young man,
it is said, was in a canoe, and after
meeting his father and sister, they
were taken into the canoe. After
going short distance, in the middle
of the stream, Jocassee jumped from
the canoe and was drowned. The
valley was named after this Indian
maid, who buried herself in the crys-
tai waters of Whitewater river when
she recognized the scalp IN her
brothers belt as that Of her lover.
This valley is about six miles in
length, and some of the prettiest
scenery to be found is here in Jpcas-
see Valley, and at the foot of these
mountains and on the Whitewater
and Toxaway streams it is grand.

they appear as something remarkable.
A spring $500 feet above the sea
level, on the very height of noun
tain, is out of the ordinary, and the
'Double Springs" are a wonder.
The Whitewater Falls is one of
the prettiest Of places for one to
visit. Everyone who has an oppor-
tunity should visit this beautiful
place. The scenery on the road to
the falls is grand. After driving
about three miles from here one is
compelled to walk portion ,of the
way up the mountain to the falls.
Whitewater Falls make a leap of over
$50 feet. The fall Of the Whitewater
river is, of course, much greater
than this, but this fall of $50 feet
Is almost perpendicular. The crys-
tai clearness of the water as it leaps
over the huge rocks and boulders
gave the river and mountain their
appropriate Whitewater.

rock the river is many feet deep, and
is known as "Devil's Hole" From
this mountain one has pretty view

Liverpool, distant about l75 miles.
1t is difficult over here to find out
how far one place is from another.
The people measure distances by
ime. If you ask how far it is from
one place to another, the answer will
be so many hours. If you ask how
far it is from one point in a city to
another, the answer will be, it is so
many minutes walk, or 80 many
minutes on the car.
We were very sorry to leave dear
old Edinburgh. The train carries us
over beautiful country from Edin-
burgh to Liverpool. Beautiful fields
Of grass and small grain and Irish
potatoes are to be seen on every
hand. Potatoes and oats are about
the only things to be seen in the
fields, which man can eat. This
shows how much these people lave
to get from other countries for susie
nance. The oats over here are lust
beginning TO head and the Irish po-
tatoes are just in bloom. | have
never seen such strawberries az they
have in Scotland aud England.
They are magnificent-large and
luscious. This whole country is
beautiful. 1t is like a crazy quilt
with the rock fences dividing the
land into small tracts, and with the
different hues of green and other
colors adorning the scene. Small
mountains are also to be seen along
the way, which give variety to the
landscape.
We stop at Melrose to view the
old Abbey there, aud it is certainly
worth stopping to see, the most
colossal ruin in Scotland 1t is said
that Ruskm never desired to visit
America because there were no ruins
TO be seen there. "A few like Mcrose
Abbey would certainly have fur
nlshed an ipducemeut sufficient to
draw him to the new country. Bat,
of course, America can have no ruins
like this for centuries. Melrose
Abbey was built in the I2th century
by David |, and was almost wholly
destroyed by Edward III. 1t was
rebuilt by Robert Bruce in the l4th
century, and once more destroyed
and rebuilt again in the 18th century.
The massive walls with the large
openings for windows tell their
silent, but expressive, story. Within
the limits of these walls the heart
of Bruce is buried and here Michael
Scott is buried. The ruins give us
some conception of what the building
was III its true glory and beauty.
From Melrose we went out in a
coach about two miles to Abbotsford,
the home OF Sir Walter Scott, a |
beautiful drive. This beautiful and
picturesque home Of Sir Walter is
located on the river Tweed. 1t is
charming place, with beautiful flower
gardens, shrubbery and trees, sur
rounded by high walls, an ideal place
for study and meditation. About
half dozen rooms in the large house

and also a picture of Mrs. Scott,

granddaughter of Scott. She has

no male descendants by the name.
| also saw the last suit of clothes
worn by Scott. Time will not permit
me to mention other things of in-
terest which were seen in this his
toric place-hundreds of them.
We hastened back TO Melrose in
the coach to catch a train for Liver
pool. A few words about the rail
way service on this side. This comes
little awkward to an American at
first. The passenger coaches here
are constructed differently from ours.
There are five compartments in
each coach here and in most of the
cars they are completely cut off from
one another. Each of these COM
partments will hold ten people. The
doors to these compartments enter
from the sides of the coach, a door
on each side. There are no steps
leading to the ground; but there are
platforms at each station which ex-
tend to the car when it is at the sta
tion. Some Of the coaches have
aisles on one side, through which one
can go from one compartment to an.
other. But the compartments where
these aisles prevail will hold only
eight people. The Americans do not
like the cars over here as well as
their own. They don't check your
baggage here; but they are very
particular with it, and the public
officials over here seem to be honest.
They are very accommodating. The
cars are light compared with ours.
In America we spend more money
on our cars and less on our road beds,
but over here it is just the opposite.
All the roads here are fenced i'm and
have double tracks. In some places
there are three or four tracks. They
