Against Dissertation of
the Name of the
Burning Spring

Hon. William Seymour Edwards,
writes Il letter TO the Chamber Of
Commerce protecting against tho
change Of the name Of the famous
l|Lrninr Springbs by the Il. & Nj.
to Hackct. In his letter Of protest
which follows, Mr.. Edwards gives
the interesting history Of the fam
GUS local curiosity and of the asso-
cation which cluster around it:
Referring to the subject Of Wash
ington's Famous Burning Spring,
situate near the Il. & NJ. Railroad
few miles above Charleston, o.
which | spoke 10 YOU the other day,
J beg to say:
.. Even so early as 1850, when
few bold white hunters had crossed
the Allcganies and traversed the
valley Of the Great kanawha, il
become known that, somewhere in
She kanawha Valley, there was Il
mysterious spring where the water
prepc:ualiy burned. llcre, it was,
that the passing Indian made his
camp and pitched his wigwam, and
here it was that the white man
bovouacked Tor the night. for the
spring water was good and the
mysterious gases issuing with the
water were eternally afiame and, if
thru sudden down TALL Of rain,
the flames had been Quencht, the
striking Of a flint and the lighting
Of (. spark set them aolaze again.
From year to year, as time went
on, more white men--hunterS most
Y-camped by the spring and
cooked their fOOd over the mySter-
ious fire. And later, when white
settlers began, here and there, to
invade he beautiful Wilderness Of
thc kanawha Valley, with its abunl-
ancc OF game, the travellers always
sought to make their camp at the
burning spring.
Thus, it was, that George WASH
ington in one OF his western forays
When he came up against the IN
dams about the year lIii, mad oc-
caaiOn to camp at this strange
spring in the Kanawha Valley. \
few years later. he came out to
kanaWha a second time: on this
occasion with surveying party, and
ne made his Su"\ ely along the rich
bottoms Of the Kanawha, including
that portion where the spring was
Along thru these years, George
Washington, the state surveyor Of
Virginia, was acquiring a great deal
Of land along the valleys Of the
Great KanaWha and up the Ohio
and thru MOnon9ahela He was to
all intents and purposes CT tain OF

sent out by the State OF Virginia

up his ncighbors for these forays,
to himself recruit the companies
that were properly paid for the SER
vices rendered to the State.
The state OF Nirginil had little

MONSTER INDUSTRIAL PARADE

Perhaps the most significant thing
that | saw at the Appalachian EXPOSE
ton was the monster industrial pa
rade on Negro Day, continued Mr..
Napier. Il have no hesitation in say
ing that it was the finest display |
have ever seen my race make any
where at any time. It eclpsed any
demonstrated Of the kind have ever
witnessed. The procession embraced
fully forty automobiles and as many
cupied by thrifty, good-looking COL
Ored people, who were engaged in VAL
iOus callings, professional, ,agricuI-
tural, and commercial A large num-
Der Of floats" were drawn on wagons,
highly ornamented and loaded with
agricultural products. Sheep, swine.
cattle, etc, were advantageously ex-
hibitcd, among them being two wagon
loads Of swine that had won the first
and second prizes in the white depart
ment Of the Appalachian Exposition
IAN especial attractive feature Of
y
horscmen, mounted on as fine a lot OF
horses as Knoxville could afford-and
it is a center for fine steeds. Each
lider was dressed in uniform, with
leggings, and all aCcoutermentS for
men and horse apparently new, and
the effect was most striking. AN
along the line Of march they were
chc"rcd to the echo by tho admirinG
populace, made up Of Both races. White
and black admirers We'd with one
another in the length and vigor of
their applause.
