New Winter Resort.

New Winter Resort.
To the man whose imaginations is
fed with facts and fortified with obser-
walton, the southern portion of the
United States will always seem the
favorite child of omnipotence and its
Observation-Disclosures. Practically
every resource that ministers to the
wealth and greatness of people has
been lavishly placed within its borders.
Through the Creator of this full-bos-
omed magnifcence dwell neither here
nor there-but every where-we like,
in all reverence, to call these South
ern states indeed Gods country" One
who knows the south realizes how,
after material gifts have been so gener-
ously bestowed, the designing power
completed its work by dotting it liber-
ally with those imperative auxiliaries
Of modern civilization-resorts, summer
and winter. In the case of the South
these resorts have proven not only
protectors Of our peoples health; they
are adding now and they will add sub
stantially in the future to our actual
wealth.
The Florida resorts need no detailed
ellogy at this date. They have won
already thousands Of sealthy North
erners and Southerners from the lure
Of the European spa or the call of the
Riviera. A more wonderful conquest.
and one which should interest the en-
tire South, is that Of the radiant Sap
hire county, that Eden Of the north
Carolina mountains, with which the
word 'Toxaway" has become insepra-
bly, identified. Its1beauties and its
health.compelling qualities have been
open to civilization for only a few years
relatively; yet "Toxaway" means to a
host Of Southern and Northern people
today recreation and recuperation
under conditions as ideal as can be
arranged by the copartnership Of man
and Nature
The six hotels under the management
Of the Toxaway Hotel Company, with
Mr.. j. c. Burrowes at its head, have
been instrumental in this rapid achieve

done the rest The hostelries have
been artfully located, getting the wide
benefits which come from attitudes
ranging from 2,25O to 1880 feet. The

Of the estate there are deer, wild tur-
key and ruffed grouse, with bears here
and there and occasionally quail. The

splashed down in the heart Of the
mountains. with the winding forest
roads, create indelible impressions Of
the place.
With the opening Of the winter sea-
son Toxaway Inn the greatest Of all
the ToNaway resorts announces itself
ready for business for the approaching
season after completing the most sue
cessful summer season known in the
history Of summer resorts.
From this time on this institution
becomes not only a summer but a win
ter resort, appealing to the South in
the summer and to the North in winter.
II is on the direct line Of travel from
eastern and western points to Florida.

arrangement to catch the business rs Il
goes to and comes from Florida.
And Il is safe TO say that those who
stop to take in the beauties Of the Tox-
away country will be amply eompcnsat-

tons there is nothing like Il this side
