THE EVERLASTING HILLS.
An Interesting Letter From Mrs.
Evans, Who is in the North Car
olina Mountains.

Chimney Rock, n. c., Freeman IS
Camp, Aug. 26.-Under the shadow OF
the gigantic mountains we gaze with
reverence at this majestic work OF
the Creator. For these are the gen
erations of heaven and earth when
they were created in the day that the
Lord God made the earth and the
heavens.
Chimney Rock is natural tower
close to the main mountain, and as
cended by a stairway to the top by
those who have the temerlty to try
it. Mountainview hotel, from the up
per balcony, gives a perfect view OF
the magnificent scene around us. lick
Dry Falls are in view; Blowing Rock,
rv Falls are in view; Blowing Rock,
Bats Cave, and numberless summer
resorts in this locality two and half
miles from Chimney Rock; Hender-
sonville 18 miles; Asheville % miles.
The mountain roads by which hacks
convey passengers are rugged, SER
pentine, and in some places rough, but
the roadbeds are kept in excellent Or
der, and are travelled daily by vehl-
cles with produce to distant points.
Each division has a supervisor who
calls out TO work all men IN his Sec
tion. Of course, all are white owners
of Land or mountains, and no con-
victs or negroes are seen here. Inc
work is done and the labor IS III lieu
of tax, as in other States-and the
work is we'll done. Forest tribes blaz-
ed the way centuries ago.
The Catholic church has IN this
ozone belt mission home III care OF
devoit sisters Of their faith. Dr..
Morse, of New York, has opened san
atorium for tuberculosis patients, and
is doing good work in a region where
such cases especially need care and
attention.
Our party made many sketches OF
interest, and among them a huge rat
tier, who Kissed and ratified IN the
glass box in which, enclosed, his ma
lisnant hatred was harmels5 to US,
hut made the nervous shiver with
fear.
There will be open to guests next
summer unique bungalow built OF
native wood, unpainted, with logs OF
oak. and cemented between the walls,
tie balcony to be rustic work, with
oak grilling OF the same, and pillars
of unplaned trees as colonade posts.
But nowhere have We seen a love-
lier spot that Tulahhoma with It's
cultured hostess, who wall soon close
the Inn to visit at the North. The
well-kept lawns and grand mountain
scenery will linger in memory as a
bright spot in our life, and we trust
that they may find in travel repose
and rest from a strenuous season.

HUNDREDS DROWNED
IN MEXICAN FLOOD
rreRTRLE FLOOD SWEEPS DOWN
ON MEXICAN CITY.
Damage to Property Will Reach Slz'-
020,OOO.-Thousands Are Home
less and Destitute.

Monterey. Mex, Aug. 20.-Elgnt
hundred persons drowned, lo,ooo
homeless and property damage to the
extent of sl2,OO0,00O is the result OF
2 food which struck this city between
] and 2 0 clock this morning.
~ The scene in the Aood-swept sec
ton of Monterey tonight is one Oh
utter desolation. Four city clocks on
the south side have completely dlsap-
peared.
For y hours rain has fallen IN un-
precedenled volume throughout thls
section and the Santa Catanna river
rose gradually all day Friday the
crest of the flood reaching Monterey
eariy today. At first it was thought
there would be no loss Of lite, but
the water reached height never be-
fore attained and swept houses from
their foundations by the score. fhe
electrict light plant was put out Oh
commission last night and the COM
plete darkness was an added horror.
Cries Of the drowning could be heard
but the onlookers were powerleSS TO
render aid
Scene Indescribable.
When DAYLIGHT came the scene was
inGescribable. All through the flood
ed district groups could be seen mud
died on the top Of the two-story build
incs entirely surrounded by mass
of water.
One BY one houses disappeared with
their human freight. Nothing could
live in the wild current Of the Santa
Catarina river which was rushing at
the rate Of 20 miles an hour.
During the early morning hours the
water remained stationary and it was
noon before fall of four feet be-
gan. By 4 o'clock this AFTERNOON the
river was back in it's banks, only to 60
out Of them again at 6 o'clock because
Of the continued downpour Of rain.
Property Loss Immense.
The great steel plant at Monterey
suffered a loss Of nearly $l,0OO,OOO by
the food: and the smelter OF the Mex
lean Lead company is cut off from
the citv and submerged. 1t is estl-
mated that the loss at this plant will
be over s3,0OO,000.
The Santa Catarina river runs al
most directly through the centre OF
Monterey. Along its right bank IS
located the suburb Of San Lulsito, III
habited BY the poorer element. 1t was
in this section that the greatest loss
of life occurred.
Many pitiful scenes are reported.
One family of the poorer class, having
sought shelter on the roof Of their
adobe dwelling, and refusing to leave
their home in the belief that the wat
ers would soon subside, were drowned.
The waters came or with rush and
before help could reach them the en-
tire family WAS swept from their place
nf refuge.
The Hi.:..er portion Of the city was
crowded tonight with thousands of
homeless Mexicans. but as fast as or
der could be brought out Of chaos al
raneemen1S were made to care for the
women and children. Many private
homes, the police station. clubs and
organization halls were thrown open

STICK TO The LAW.
If Laws Are Not Mise They Should
BE Changed, Says President.

At Macon, Ga, on Thursday
President Taft. in his speech at the
fair grounds touched on the limi-
tation placed by the Constitution
upon the authority of the executive,
and declared that he did not think
it was the best method of removing
limitations that interfere with re-
forms by disregarding and ignoring
the statutes,
The Constitution of the United
States, the President said. had been
drawn with great foresight and
wisdom and there were few re-
spects in which it could be chang
ed or improved upon.
"All that | have said" he went
on, brings me to little sermon
on the wisdom and necessity of
following the law as it is. Some
times in the zest and enthusiasm of
desiring reforms. we find impa-
thence with the limitations of the
statutes that prevent the immediate
accomplishment of our purpose and
we are tempted to disregard and
ignore them.
But | think YOU will agree
with we that that is not the best
way to get rid of the limitations
that interfere with progress. The
people should be told of the lim-
tations. they should be aroused to
the necessity of wiping out those
limitations and to the necessity of
a change. They should not leave
it to the executive to disregard the
written law because what he pro-
poses to do is the law Of highest
morality.
First, make your law occord-
inc to your desires and ambitions. :"
said the President. and then fol-
low it,"
Il am telling YOU Of those limi-
tations of the executive and of the
duty of the Congress, because this
winter | expect to recommend IA
lot of things to Congress. and |
want you to know where the re-
sponslbility lies if they fail to pass.

Growers Ask for Receiver.

At Lexington Il. w. Mcmillan
and tbirty-two other men filed a
suit in the Circuit Court Wednes-
day against the Burley Tobacco
Society, a $2.OO0,00O concern,
Clarence LeBus, G.. Brooks. j. M.
Rankin, the Clark County Nation
al Bank, the Citizens National
Bank and the Peoples National
Bank, asking for a receiver. The
plaintiffs say they pooled their to-
bacco in 1905 and also in 1907, and
,l,nder the agreement that when a
fixed price was obtained for their
tobacco, the proceeds were to be
divided pro rata among the re-
spective interests, less necessary
expenses of handling the crop.
The plaintiffs say the defendants
are wasting the balance, which
amounts to more than $500, 600
without right or authority, in en-
ploying canvassers and speakers
and paying their expenses. The
plaintiffs also charge that funds are
being spent for unwarranted pur-
poses.
The motion for the appointment
of receiver is set for hearing in
the Circuit Court on Monday, No
vember Is. Most of the plaintiffs
are residents of Campbell and Ken
ton counties.

New Law Wanted.

Mayors of several Kentucky
towns will petition the Legisla-
ture to pass bill exempting cities
from damage suits. MAYORS of
many of the larger cities and towns
are interested. This was decided
upon at a meeting held in Louis
vile. Mayor Hume, of Frankfort,
presiding. Under the laws of
Kentucky neither county nor State
can be sued. The number of
suits filed against municipalities
are increasing every year. 1t is
to remedy this evil that the Mayors
are acting.

RedNlne Denies Responsibility For
Bredthitt Crime.

David B. Redwine has been elect
fed Circuit Judge over James P.
Adams, the incumbent, by a ma
jority of 767, while the entire Dem
ocratic ticket has been successful
in Breathitt except one Magistrate
and one Constable.
In speaking of his success and
the policies to be carried out by
him during the next six years,
Judge Redwine said it was his pur-
pose to show to the people of Ken
lucky and the world at large that
ne was not IN any way responsible
for many of the conditions which
prevailed during the last year or
two he was on the bench during
ing which time the bullets ofassas-
sins cut short the life of James B.
Marcum, James Cockrill. and DR..
Cox and for which crimes. he said
he had been held partly responsible
because he was on the bench at the
time and took no official action to
prevent any of the murders.
He said that the people who CEN
sured him most during that period
of instruction in Breathitt county
had no conception of the duties of
Circuit Judge and felt that it
was in his power to prevent any
sort of crime. He said further
shat the report had been circulated
Eduring the past few days that he
was making the race in the interest
Fof the whisky people and the oper-
|ators of the blind tiger" resorts
through the district was the most
INFAMOUS political and campaign

SOME FACTS
That Win Interest All Those Who
Read Them.

Michigan now raises all the
sugar she uses, and has some to
sell besides. The product last
year amounted to 100000, al
though the industry is barely ten
years old.
A proposition is on foot in Hen
nepin county, Mimi, to bond the
county for from 81 900, 900 to SO,
100000 with which to build high
ways.
The United States produces 3d.
100000 bushels of rice in 1908,
worth about SIS, 100000. The
farmers sell their rice at about so
cents bushel, while the retailers
get about Sc for the same amount.
In Belgium there are only Lilo
acres to each person. or S. acres
to each family of five.
In the United States there is
enough land to supply each citizen
28t acres, or 142 acres for every
family of five.
L. Horton, one of TIE bigges,
retailers of milk in New York
State, is charging 20 cents a quar-,
for some of the milk he sells,
This milk is produced by the own
er of farm at Newburgh, n. Y,
and cleanliness is insisted on to an
extent almost unbelievable. The
cows are washed and wiped with
spotless linen, and when the milk
is obtained it is handled as though
it were champagne. The milk is
sold to the 'gilded rich" in New
York City.
The last years hay crop was the
raargest on record. 1t amounted

HERE THEY ARE.
Talking at Each Other, You Con

Lexington Herald, Nov. d.


Yesterday as we were standing
on Main street, talking to gen
tleman from Bourbon county, Mr..
Stanley Milward drove by and
stopped some distance from the
curb and beckoned to us to go to
him, which we did gladly. He
then asked us to get in his buggy,
which we did not do. With a
perfectly courteous manner and
with a friendly smile he said:
"Desha. we ought not to have any
quarrel about this matter" We
answered that he ought not to
have told the lie he did tell. He
said, IF it were not true | would
not have told it," We answered
in language which we fear our
most friendly critic would think
too emphatic for publication in
the columns of the Herald that it
was lie and he knew it. He
said: go and ask Father about
| it; you don't believe he would lie
do you!" We answered that we
were not going to ask his father,
that his father did not know any,
thing except what he had told
him; that his statement was utter
ly false, and that he must GO
through life bearing the brand we
had put on him. He drove off
and we returned to the curb. We
publish an account of this CONVEX
sation, in violation of our usual
rule, so that at no time in the
future there can be any doubt of
what took place, and that ten
years after it took place and after
our death no false and malignant
SANDER may be uttered about US in
regard to it,"
