The South Carolina Club" has been
formed. Its property is controlled
by Howard CALDWELL and Washing
ton Clark of Columbia. 1t is situated
just a mile from the Hendersonville
postof1ce and about 200 yards from
the dummy line. The site is one CT
the best in this vicinity, the view from
piazza of the clubhouse being espec-
iaI fine. Three or four cottages have
been built and the club house. Of
which Mrs. G.. Wilmot Davis is in
charge, has had a fine patronage this
season. Several Columbia families
have made theic homes J n il and the
number of cottages will considerably
increase before theo pening of the
season of 1912. W. w. B.

If one would have this feeling
deepened one should stroll along the
road north Of the club where a row
of a dozen jaunty cottages overlook
from a grassy hillside. At the rear
OF the cottages, creeping down to their
bachelors, are the trees. and one
does not see between them q be-
yond. One knows that they stretch
up and over the hills to COW a thous-
and acres Of the Kanuagan lands, and
that's the kind of back yard"
tired eyes like to rest upon. Your
.neighbor never sneaks to your back
fence to- entice away the cook, be-
cause there isn't any back fence, and
there isn't any cook. Long g in

the road itself, except in the Hickory
Nnt Gap, has been, improved. One
does not find a more picturesque To-
cality in Western North Carolina
than this gap and the three or four
miles of highway that overhangs a
riotous and obstreperous little branch
OF the Broad from the Slick ROCK
Inn to Bat Cave.

Vile may new be regarded as a con-
ffnuous village. though separately
incorporated, no stretch OF rural
country intervening. The difference
between the two places is that
the people who live in Flat Rock are
the owners of estates" whereas IN
He~ndersonville they rejoice merely
in summer homes. In Flat Rock
every landlord has his private sys-
tenn of waterw0rks, but in Hender-

exclaim enthusiastically about tht
beauty of the golf links. I have
heard them. The inhabitants CT the
new club speak of it in ~rapturous
terms, and he is a poor sort of a
creature who is not in love with the
beauty Of it's landscape. Southern
Railway passenger trains stop at a
station on the grounds of the club
about half a mile or less from the
club house. 1899.
To me the approach to Kanuga-
the twisting around under the silent
trees, then the quick shoot down the
hill and the sudden revelation of the
valley and the lake-is its chiefest
and dearest beauty. 1t unlocks an
exquisite mystery. One who has been
initiated into some secret society
with a poetic and romantic ritulism
understands it, save that the scene
that opens does not blind and dazzle,
the green of the fringing forest and
brighter green of the grass making
the vision soothing and grateful. The
revelation, too. is of the spirit of the
colony. 1T brings the sense of Sc
curity, Of complete escape from the
world outside, of roominess, of a far
extended domain of decent privacy
redeemed and walled in forever from
all pollution and all discords. Ex-
eept the club house with its roof and
stone chimneys and darkly shingled
gables under the white pines, no
house is in sight anywhere-they are
only trees and wild ~shrubbery and
vines and the cleaning, glistening
waters of the clear, cold lake pressed
into snaky curves between the n
circling highlands.

Presbyterian Moderator Tells of
Pastors Refusal to Wed Couple.

Auburn. y Y. oct 19-After a spirited
debate at its closing session here to-day
the Presbyterian Synod OF New York de-
feated a resolution drawn by a special
committee indorsing federal uniform di-
vorce law and appointed another commit
tee 10 draft a resolution against uniform
divorce legislation.
The presentation Of the original resolu-
ton evidently took the synod by surprise
and sturdy opposition az once developed.
The attack was led by General Ralph z
Prime. Of Yonkers. General Prime con-
tended that New Yorks standard as 10
causes for divorce would he lowerd by the
adoption Of a uniform law as instead Of
the one scripmral ground for divorce now
obtaining here. uniform divorce legislation
would bring with It seven or eight add
tional grounds on which divorce actions
now may be based in other states.
During the discussion. the moderator. the
Rev Martin D. Kneeand. Of Boston,
aroused his auditors to applause by ref
erence TO the recent Astor- Force marriage.
The divorce evil is assuming alarming
PROPORTIONS in New England said the
moderator but I know one Presbyterian
clergyman TO whom an agent for Colonel
Aston came last summer and. asking him
