you are standing near the summit of a
rugged mountain-one of the Blue
Ridge Range, and 5000 feet above the
Atlantic, the highest peaks East of the Rockies
gazing calmly towards you. It is a gigantic,
heaped-up mass, whose steep slopes are stiH
covered with virgin woods. You are in the
very heart of Nature undefled. for every
thing is as when the Indian hunted the bear
which once made its home here-and, to
tell the truth, it would not surprise you very
much to see the Indian!
This is the home of the Tuxedo Club.
The all pervading peace of the surrounding
mountain giants is as the peace of God; and
the cares, the masquerades. the shamso of the
great cities almost within sight SEEM very

THE PLAN AMI PURPOSE
OF THE TUXEDO CLUB

We propose to convert this magnificent
tract of three hundred acres of land into one
of the most beautiful resorts to be found
anywhere.
We propose to sell 100 memberships in
the Club for $3.50 each, payable $50 upon
signing application for membership and the
balance in monthly installments of $40
each.
These memberships will run for a period
Of twelve years, and each member of the
Club and his family shall enjoy all the privi-
leges of the Club in its several departments
and shall be given a title to one building lot
on the Club estate.
We propose to erect with the money re-
ceived from the sale of memberships. a mod
ern club house on a suitable location on the
Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1913-08-21

The Tuxedo Club is to be the very latest
exponent of that community plan of living
which has proved so highly successful i'm
the mountains of Western North Carolina.
The Club property is on the Southern Rail
way between HendersonvilIe and Saluda,
and fourteen passenger strains stop at its
station every day. The Asheville-G reenville
and the MISUNDERSTANDING automobile
highways touch the club boundaries-pass
through it, in fact, thus affording the club
members every modern transportation IA
cility.
From where you are standing, near the
summit of the mountain, and the site of the
clubs administration building, you see the
shimmering steel of the railway winding its
sinuous way to the North and the South.
The column of white smoke reveals its pas
sage for many miles and here and there
you catch a glimpse of the creeping train
itself. Yonder is the Greenville automobile
highway and just this side is the highway
to Spartanburg.

The Lake and Dam.

The path and roadway from the station
viii lead across the fifty-foot dam which
is to hold the waters of a foaming mountain
torrent. The pretty lake thus formed will
cover many acres and will provide fishing,
boating and bathing for the Club members,
Electricity will be generated from the fall Of
this water and this will be used in a thoUs-
and ways on the property--among them, to
operate a trolley car to the Club building :,
But we will suppose you have just left
a Southern Railway train at the Tuxedo
Station. Or, perhaps. a motor car has
brought you. over excellent roads, from
Asheville. Hendersonville, Greenville or Spar
Ganburg. At any rate, you are at the sta
ton, and perhaps you elect to walk to the
Club. You cross the broad, fifty-foot dam
and think what a pretty picture it all makes

wooded to the waters edge; the row boats, the
launches, the merry cries of children bath

The Home of the Red Man.

But the path to the Club House invites
you and in the solitude which closes in and
around you you seem to be lost in the pri-
meval woods of the red man. You instinct
lively look for the tracks of a bear, but hear
only the whirr of a monstrous covey of
partridges. The brooding peace resting on
the mountain giants keeping watch and
ward over the world soothes your soul and
God and Nature seems very close indeed
On you walk. You will pass numerous
pretty cottages, bungalows and more preten-
tious residences-the homes of discerning
people of refinement who appreciate the
rare charm of this natural beauty spot, and
almost before you know it you are at the
Club building.
And the Tuxedo Club is for people of
this class. Congenial folks who know the
club colony or community plan of living will
solve for them that always difficult prob

A Superb Picture.

In the near distance stands ridge after
ridge of forest covered mountains. Further
off many long miles away, but in this clear
atmosphere seemingly almost at hand. are
the most beautiful mountains in the whole
universe, truly the ramparts of the world,
proudly rearing their cloud crowned crests to
a turquoise sky. It's a gorgeous panorama
of mountain scenery unsurpassed. It's beau
tiful beyond compare-and certainly must
be an inspiration to higher and better things.
The administration building of the Tux
edo Club is to be built on a commanding
eminence from which this picture is visible.
A well graded road will wind around the
steep sides of the mountain to the Tuxedo

PRIZES FOR PUPILS
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., Urg-
ing Compositions.

A gold medal to the school boy or girl
between the ages of 10 and Is who
writes the best composition. not to ex-
coed 800 words, on the repair and main
tenance of earth roads, is to be awarded
by Logan Waller Page, director, office
of public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, ID.
c. All compositions must be submitted
to Mr.. Page before May -, 1913, and
the medal Will be awarded as soon there
after as the compositions can be graded
The COMPOSITIONS may be based on
knowledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be
made
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation of
the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief that
ignorance on the subject of repairs and
maintenance of roads Is as much the
cause of their bad condition as any other
one factor. 1t is expected that the
competition will bring about better
understanding of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural districts
Many children living IN the rural dis
trictS have experienced the disadvan-
tages of roads made impossible through
a lack Of proper maintenance and it is
expected that their interest in the COM
petition will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children from obtain
ing proper education and have even
prevented doctors from reaching the
side of rural patients in time to save
their lives.
Any child between the ages mention
ed, attending a country school, may
compete Only one side of the paper
must be written on; each page should
be numbered; the name, age and adj
dress of the writer. and the name and
location of the school which he or she
is attending must be plainly written at
the top of the first page. The announce
ment of the competition has been sent
to the superintendent OF school in rural
districts. No further information can
be obtained from the office of public
roads. This announcement should be
plain to everyone, and all children will
start on basis of equality,

miles east of Oakland and one mile west
of Mountain Lake Park Tuesday morn

The train was composed of express
cars, mail car, baggage car, two day
coaches and three Pullmans, all electri-

and turned out of the shops, and was
drawn by two of the largest engines in
the service. The train arrived at Oak

reached Mt. Lake Park three miles

after the train departed from Oakland
the operator at the Park reported to
Oakland that the tram was wrecked but
gave no particulars at the time Imme-
diatelY the report spread that five
passengers had been killed and more
than a hundred more or less injured,
which caused great deal of excitement
and in less than five minutes scores of
automobiles were on the way to the
scene of the wreck, carrying physicians
and relief parties.
The wreck occurred just west of the
Beckman crossing on the edge of Noun

SHOT FROM PULPIT
OF OLD LOG CHURCH
Capt. George W. Booth Of B. & 0.
Recall Incident of so Years AGO.

Capt. George w. Booth, comptroller
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, sat
in his office on the ninth floor of the big
Baltimore and Ohio Building, Stroked
his grizzly beard and tried to bridge
with his memory the chasm of halt
century.
Fifty years is long time, but Cap
tain Booth recalled April %, 1868, with
out much effort.
Fifty years ago the people of these
United States were making history at
a rapid rate. Among other things go
ing on at the time was raid into the
mountains of West Virginia, led by
Gen. w. E. Jones, with his brigade Of
Virginia horsemen and the First Mary
land Cavalry, Maj. Ridgely Brown.
These Maryland boys were the best
blood of the Old Line State, and no
better troopers ever straddled horse.
At Greenland Gap the narrow noun
tain road is walled on each side by solid
rock, towering high over head. So mar
row is the gap that there is just room
for the road and deep but narrow
stream, which crosses and recrosses the
road several times. At one side of the
road was large log church. and upon
the approach of the raiders the Federal
guard at the Gap took refuge in this
building. This guard consisted of
part of the Twenty third Illinois, Multi
gan's Brigade and company of the
Fourteenth West Virginia, all under
Captain Wallace.
Finding the road blocked and having
no artillery, General Jones sent the
Seventh Virginia Cavalry to charge the
church. The Confederate troopers
swept down the road in column of tours,
but horses and men went down before
the hot fire from the defenders blocking
I the road, and charge was repulsed.
General Jones sent a demand for the
surrender of the church, but the reply
was characteristic of the fighting
Irish. - 1--WE are Mulligan's men. If
you want US, come and take us.
Jones was fighting man, too, and a
man of few words. He sent for Major
Brown and said: Get those people out
of there.
Major Brown dismounted part of his
battalion and some of Whites Loudoun
Rangers. CarbineS and sabers were
discarded as. useless. 1t was to be
CLOSE work, and revolvers were the
thing. Each man saw that his navy ST"
was ready; half dozen men were given
axes and dozen or more carried bun
dies of straw and fagots. The little
assaulting party of 200 men was quickly
formed, and Brown gave the order to
charge. What followed is best told by
Captain Booth
1T was bitter cold night, he said
