fact remains that the only result was
to mask 1t, and the lesson was that

Bedent Baird represented Ashe
County in the Legislatures OF
1903 and 1909, and he was con-
temporary with such men as
John Galloway, Nathan Horton,
Elijah Galloway, George Bower
and numerous Others who repre-
sented thir county many times
in both branches of the General
Assembly.
1t is said that On one occasion
Bedent was entertaining one OF
his friends at the old "Beech
House," and in order to haye @
little fun he proposed to take his
friend to a point on top of Beech
Mountain, near the pinnacles, to
show him what a fine mill site he
owned; after reaching a level spot
on the top OF the mountalat Be-
dent asked him how be liked his
mill ll.site; his friend asked him
where the water to run the mill
was to come FROM and Bedent
replied. 81 just wanted to show
you what a fine place this is to
set a mill, [ said nothing about
any water" 1t happened there
is Il spring nearby, and strange
to say, there is now a steam saw
mill operating at almost the
identical spot then pointed out
by Bedent as his mill-site, and
the timber is now being cut and
manufactured from a tract o
land granted to Bedent Baird 81
many years ago,
Bedent Baird was a gentleman
OF the old school and was a prom
inent man in his sectionin his day
1t should be remembered that it
required men of strong intellect
and courage to overcome such
undertakings as the first settlers
encountered.
While Bedent was building hi
road from his farm on the Wa
tauga to the top OF Beech Noun
tain he had a man employed Il
do some blasting along the road
Bedent gave his employee a hea
w iron crow bar; made of th'
famous Cranberry iron, when
heavy charge of powder wa
placed in a hole, the man faile'
to remove the bar, and as tht
explosion took place the heav.
instrument was hurled down tn
mountain side a great distance
and 1t could not be found. A
long as Bedent lived he coul
not b. convinced but that hi
employee had stolen his crow

thereafter Sheriff W. b. Bali
