A New Nature Wonder.
(Morganton News Herald. !

\mOi SUuuOll .N0No Ilti ulu.J
The new South & Western Rail
road, which is now completed to
Marion, is destined toopen upto
the summer tourist O country
with which lie is not yet familiar
and which abounds in scenery OF
surprising grandeur. The new
railroad passes through a gorge
in Mitchell county. down which
rolls Toe Riuer A writer thas de-
scribes this new spectacle of ma
ture:
"At MONDAY. one can pass
through the gorge in the shade.
Ii the day should sbe cloudy it
would be like passing through a
large tunnel. There is scarcely
any growth upon the mountains
at all. Some little scrub trees have
found sustenance in crevices and
have tried togrow togreat dimen
sions but have failed. One side is
almost perpendicular-so much
so that you cannot begin to see
the top.of the car window. The
rocks are not all immense bould-
ers, but many are small and plac
ed upon each other to a very
greatheight. In some p lace
great square walls ascend heav-
onward. Other places resemble
great chimneys. Here and there
the purest and best ofwater may
be found trickling down through
the crevices Of the rock"
The Columbia State comment
ing on the above says:
''The description suggests more
the character of thut rugged,
rocked scenery we are accustom-
ed to. associate with the rockies
than the tree-bowed mountains
of North Carolina. This is all the
better, however. Each has its
charm; the one is, grand, over
powering, the other is beautiful,
inspiring. The one is strong with
the strength OF a prineval man;
the other is strong with t h e
strength ol a pure woman.
1T all serves to show what a
wonderland OF natural beauty we
have here at our doors; it Illus
trates the wonderful variety OF
scenery t ha t our nighboring
State officers for orrdelight. This
new and strange gorge with its
heavenclimbing wallsa turrets
will doubtless draw many OF us
to the contemplation of it's won
ders. And when they tire OF its
too solid rock, they may turn
again to those other warmer
scenes OF old, where nature is
softer, sN Neeter-the green noun
tains, which lure us while they do
not oppress.'

a letter to the introducer of the
bill which says.
"I.see you have introduced a

Better Duys Coming.
(Cbarlotte News \

Probably no business in t h e
State has suffered to a more seri-
Gus degree than-the lumber busi-
ness from the recent threatened
panic. On good authority it has
been stated that something like
ninety lumber mills in this state
have suspended operations and
that about 150have closed down
partially. Others have adopted
the policy of curtailing running
expenses by reducing the wage
scale of employees, the reduction
at the various mills amounting
to about 20 per cent. For some
weeks past few days have gone
by but what news of the suspen-
sion of operations at various lum
Der plants throughout the state
has been recorded.
Scarcely IN the history OF the
lumber business in this state has
the market dropped to such a Sc
rious degree.
And facing the money stringen
cy and the very unfavordble trade
conditions lumbermen have de-
clded to curtail produ ction by
laying off part OF their hands. to
eut wages, or to suspend opera
tions entirely. In cases where it
was possible thelumber men have
kept running on part time at
least no profit, rather than to
take some move that won d
throw theiremployes entirely out
OF work.
Such is the condition that the
money stringency has prec ipita-
ted among North Carolina lum-
bermen. 1t is a significant fact
that there has been few fanny fail
ur. s, in spite ofthe terrible strain
on business. Most of the lumber
concerns OF the state (and few ol
| the states can compare with y
C. in the number and size OF its
lumber establ;shments) are sol
vent, and are backedup by aDur
dant capital. But, with them, as
with cottonmills and other mar
ufactories, the trouble has beef
to secure cash, on any kind of Sc
curity, to carry on daily bust
ness.
Happily now, however, t h {
skies are !ghtening aud the Q
pinion is expressed among lum
bermen OF the. state, that whel
the first of the year obligations
are passed, the market will re
sume its normal condition, ant
the many plants that have beer
closel down will be enabled tC
start operation again.
A gentleman connected will
one of the largest lumber manu-
factories of this city tells us that
there is certainly an improve
ment in conditions for the past
few days. Money is being turned
loose and as a result conditions
affecting lumber manufacturers
are becoming less strained. He
states that while "nothinglike tht
usual amount OF lumber is being
bought by local dealers now, th'
regular price that prevailed be
fore the panic is being paid.
The conditions above describ
ed do not apply alone to NortF
Carolina, but have been duplica
ted in almost every Southern
state. In fact, a number Of states
have suffered even worse thar
this, this, the major part Of the
mills having suspended opera
ton entirely for the time being.
There is reason to believe tha'
the first OF the year will bring a
bout more favorable market con
ditions and that the excellen
business OF OF a few months agt
| will be resumed.

Judge granted bond before the gentle
men were arrested. This is not true,
as bail was granted three days after
the gentlemen had been placed under
arrest, but they never went to jail
and there was no necessity for them
to do so as they were never indicted
and the charges against them had no
basis.
The very fact that this has been
brought up shows the desperate and
