is wonderful TO see the care with which
the little burros pick their way over these
| dangerous strips.
Halfway up the mountain they have
large camp, called Orchards camp, or
Halfway house. Here we rested and had
hot coffee with our lunch. After lunch
we started up over the last half of the
trail to the summit, the hardest and
steepest part 1t is hard climbing, but
the views obtained while winding up the
mountain side are truly magnificent and
never to be forgotten. We ford stream
twice and from it procure the most re-
freshing drinking water, flowing cold as
ice from the snow fields above.
Gas one approaches the top the snow
is encountered, first in small patches,
then in larger tracts, until at the top it
lies at uniform depth of from six to
eight inches. This was in May. In mid
summer for few months the summit is
practically bare, but with the first cold
wind from the north Mt. Wilson dons his
mantle of snow again for another year
''At the top there is hotel and a
number of tiny cottages, each about the
size of bedroom, which are readily
rented to people who want to stay the
night after the climb, for, as ] have said
few care to try the return trip on the
same day.
I'VE took our cameras and managed to
secure some fine pictures. We had
fine time snowballing one another at the
top, and none of us felt a bit the worse
for the climb. 1t was an exciting expert
ence, which | shall never forget"

gia's wartime governor, and father
of the man so highly honored June
4, stood where the SuWanee House
now is. 1t was double-pen log af-
fair, common in the piney woods at
that time, with board sheds on both
sides. At the time the house was
built Governor Brown owned 1920
acres of land around what is now
the city of Cordele The land was
purchased from L. E. Ware on De-
cember 20, 1868, for the sum of
$50, 900 Confederate money. On
July 9th, 1872, he sold this property
to Warren b. Hamilton for the sum
of $4,000.
During his service as railroad COM
missioner, and about three years ago,
Hon. Joseph M, Brown had occasion
to visit Cordele and pointed out many
spots well remembered as his play
ground during boyhood. AS a bare
legged youth he went to church at
the old Ebenezer "meetin' house"
which has stood for many years at
the bridge over Gum creek between
Cordele and Vienna, just out of the
city limits. He used to go in the
old "wash-hole" in Gum creek at the
mouth of the ditch" pleasantly
nitched in the memory of many
grown-up Cordelians now, and he
spent many happy hours fishing in
Gum creek about the springs.-Cor-

TEMPERANCE FOLK MEET
FLOCK TO SARATOGA TO CELE-
BRATE TOOTH ANNIVERSARY.
The First American Temperance So
ciety Was Formed in MORGAN,
N. Y, in 1908.

Scores of men and women, temper
ance leaders of international repu-
tation, are gathered at Saratoga to
take part in ten days International
congress in celebration of the Tooth
anniversary of the founding of the
first American temperance society.
The formal opening of the gathering
occurred Sunday morning, when raj
! lies were held simultaneously in three
of Saratogas largest churches. Dur
| ing the week many noted speakers
have been heard, among others Gov.
Hughes, Rev. Silas c. Swallow, Rev.
| S. Parkes Vadman, D. D., of Brook
llyn, President Samuel Dickle of AL
bion College and Rabbi Stephen s.
Wise, of New York city. FraternaI
delegates are in attendance rep
resenting the International Order of
Good Templars in Scotland, England,
Sweden, Belgium, Germany and other
countries.
The first American temperance So
ciety, the centennial of which is be-
ing commemorated in such notable
manner, was founded in 1903, in the
town of Moreau, N. Y, by
DR.. Billy J. Clark. he fame of the
Moreau movement rests more on the
fact that it marked the genesis of
the crusade that has since assumed
such important proportions than on
any very marked achievement of it's
own. After fourteen years, in which
little was accomplished, the society
went out of existence. But the re-
form impulse did not die with it. The
American Temperance Society was
founded in Boston in 1926, and the
New York Temperance Society in
1929, and a year later had hundred
thousand members. The IONS of
Temperance, founded in 1912, grew
rapidly in membership and influence.
and the Independent Order of Good
Templars followed in 1851.
