The famous battle of Lookout Noun

clouds" was the first skirmish in the
fighting around Chattanooga in Sep
TENDER, 1863 This battle was fought
on bench Of the mountain some dis
lance below the summit. The conflict
ragged with the greatest energy around
the Cravens house. This house is in
the center of the battlefield, and is
preserved today in practically its orig

The Confederates to the number of
1900 to $500 held the position, AMI
were engaged by the Federals 10000

point Of the mountain, enveloping the
combatants, and from this incident
the engagement has been since known
as the battle above the clouds" No
fighting took place on top Of the noun

WEEKS WEATHER
DISAPPOINTING To
The FARMERS
FARMING OPERATIONS SLOW
Better Weather is Promised
However

One entire week lost to the farm
ers is the record made since Monday,
and the few Sumter county farmers
who came to Americas yesterday for
supplies or fertilizer were as blue
as the weather yesterday morning.
Crop conditions, SO promising ten days
ago, have changed considerably with
in brief time and the prospect for
crop planting at this time is anything
than encouraging.
Many fields are still under water as
the result of the rains this week, while
most farm work is necessarily sus-
pended. Many farmers came in yes
terday to haul fertilizer, but the heavy
rain in the morning made this work
impossible, and wagons returned home
empty.
Where corn has been planted re-
Gently the work, in many instances
must be done again, as fields have been
washed badly by the rains and the
rows obliterated. Not a few farmers
in Sumter had finished planting corn,
and on some plantations the corn is
up and growing. In such cases but
little injury viii be sustained.
Cotton planting time is at hand for
those who plant early, although this
crop can be planted until June AMI
make well. Mr.. A. A. Forrest. Sum-
ter's first bale man for several years
past, has planted his entire crop, and
in some fields the young plants are up
and growing off finely.
Upon the whole, however. conditions
upon the farm are almost as bad as 4,
this time last season. Long-continued
rains have served to pack the ground
hard, and much early blowing must
be done again. This entails additional
labor and cost, and puts the farmers
Just that much further behind in the
making of their crop this year.
The rains this week have cost enor-
mously in farm and property damage
IN Southwest Georgia, the amount OF
which it would be impossible to esti-
mate. Sumter has shared in this mis-
fortune, but will come out all right in
the end.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN is
A Reunion MAGNET
Visitors viii Be Able to
See II

chattanooga, MATCH E1.-lI HdS Deen
said that the richest asset that Chat
tanooga has is historic Lookout Noun
tain, and the saying is true. Lookout
Mountain is really a beauty spot in
land where scenic beauty abounds.
And while this scenic beauty cannot
be excelled anywhere on earth. Look
out Mountain is also probably the most
historic eminence in the world. 1t
bears the marks of many wars, and
carries on its tablets the history Of
two races of people.
Lookout Mountain was first a habita-
ton of the Indians, as Indian relies
gathered on its summit and sides
clearly show. The Tennessee river
got its name from the Indians. The
state of Tennessee was named after
the river In the Indian tongue the
name signifies spoon. Some histor-
ians contend that Indians named the
river from a view they had of the
stream from the point of Lookout
Mountain.
The view from the point of Lookout
Mountain is certainly one of the finest
in America. Many people who have
travelled over the world declare that
there is nothing so good in scenic
beauty in all Europe. Quite a number
OF European potentates and geniuses
lave visited Lookout Mountain, AMI
their verdict is unanimous that the
view from Umbrella rock on the high
est point Of the mountain is unexcell-
cd.
Looking to the west from the point
OF the mountain the spectator sees a
blue line of mountains Of almost equal
altitude. These are the Raccoon and
sand mountains in Tennessee and Ala-
isma Following the blue line OF
these mountains to the north, the Wis
ion crosses the Tennessee river, takes
in Moccasin bend and enjoys Walden's
ridge, the far famed spur of the Cum
berlands. This mountain towers 2,591
feet above the level of the sea, and
presents to the eye as fine a picture
of mountain scenery as can well be
imagined. OFF to the east a low line
of hills, across the valley is seen. This
line of hills is Missionary Ridge, where
one of the most sanguinary battles -
the civil war was fought Following
this ridge to the south. monuments
may be plainly seen of a clear day on
the Chickamauga battlefield, while
away to the east, hundred miles on
straight line, tower the peaks of
the Great Smokes, and farther still
the peaks Of the Blue Ridge mountain.
If the atmospheric conditions are per-
feet, the tourist on top of Lookout
Mountain can see into a half dozen
states. II is but natural that Chatta-
nooga should treasure Lookout Noun
tain as a point of great interest and
one of the richest assets of the re-
gion.

MEAT INSPECT ION
MAY NOW PROCEED
ON BOARD SHIP
Order That Australian Stor-
age Product Be Stripped,
Piece by Piece, in
Sun, Revoked

The Oceanic Steamship company's
liner Ventura, which arrived yesterday
from the antipodes brought 225 tons
OF frozen meat from Sydney. AS the
result of the exposure of the fact that
the method Of inspection that 1t was
proposed to adopt with this shipment
would put q stop to the Importation
OF frozen meat. orders were received
from Washington modifying the new
order. The meat Will not be dis
charged until today.
MEAT WOULD SPOIL
Under the new order from Wash
ington the meat would have been taken
out on the dock and each piece would
have been stripped of It's canvas cover
for the purpose of inspection. The re-
suit Of this sudden exposure In a warm
atmosphere would have been to spoil
the meat. as the frozen product must
be thawed out gradually. II the gov
ernment had insisted upon carrying
out the order there would have been
no more shipments OF Australian meat
to this port, and the high cost of Iiv-
ing would have received another boost.
Attention was called in the press to
the effect of this order, and copies OF
the newspaper articles were forwarded
to Washington by telegraph. Yester-
day afternoon r. Z. Booth, who is
handling the larger part of the frozen
meat at this end received from Con-
gresham julius Kahn a telegram TO
the effect that he had succeeded in
having the order modified.
WILL INSPECT ON SHIP
The government inspectors Will visit
the cold storage chamber on the ven-
tura and examine the automatic regis
ters to make sure that there has been
no rise in The temperature since the
meat was placed in the chamber. They
will select few pieces, in different
parts OF the chamber, for evidence Of
defects in refrigeration IL the pieces
examined are all right the shipment
will be passed, as 1t all bears the stamp
of the Australian government, which
is accepted by Uncle Sam as an evi-
dence of good quality.
The federal inspectors here received
orders from the department of agricul-
ture that they were TO make sample
inspection" only. and ii was explained
that the previous interpretation or the
order was a misunderstanding.

In the south bound car the jar OF the

said came from the occupants OF this
