TELLS OF HIS TRIP
TO The MOUNTAINS
REV. J. M. CUTLER DESCRIBES
THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

Editor Dawson News: After three
days of continuous rain our engage
ment necessitated my leaving Young
Harris, Ca, for Lake Junaluska, N.
c. Young Harris is in the heart of
the Blue Ridge mountains in Towns
county, at the foot of range known
as Brasstown, just at the head of
Brasstown valley. Mt. Enotah,
known up here as Brasstown Bald,
is the highest point in Georgia It's
name is an Indian name, meaning
laurel crowned, and it is nine miles
up the range from Young Harris.
1t was necessary for me to leave
Young Harris in hack at 4:30 a. m.
in order to reach Murphy, N. c., in
time to take the Southern train for
Junaluska. The trip to Murphy is
along the Brasstown creek and Hia-
wasa river, and they were rushing
madly as the result of the rains.
The section of North Carolina
through which the Southern runs to
Waynesville, yea to Asheville, is
hardly surpassed by any other SINH
lar distance found in the mountains.
After leaving Murphy you enter
into changeable mountain scenery,
with some interesting stream, over
half the way. The most interesting
and picturesque is through the Nan
tahala mountains. The railroad fol-
lows the Nantahala river, which flows
northward and empties into the lit
tie Tennessee river. At points the
river is far below you and great
mountains on either side of the
train. After the junction of the
Nantahala and Tennessee you begin
to run along by the rough, rapid
Tuckaseegee river. The heavy rains
caused them to flow rapidly, and the
waters dashing over the huge rocks
in the river bed was a sight worth
seeing; the spray was like the white
caps in the ocean.
The putting of the engine ap-
preaching Topton and Balsam, the
first being $500 feet above the sea
level and the latter a little over g.
500 feet, suggest mountain climb
by steam. Even this late the beau
tiful but rare rhododendrons were in
bloom around Topton and other
points.
Hardwood is being hauled to the
railroad or conveyed by fumes down
the mountain sides. Many large saw
mills are found cutting hard wood
for the market.
Lake Junaluska is truly beautiful
for situation, and will one day be the
joy of the whole Southern Methodist
church. The meeting of the Gen
eral Sunday School Board was per-
haps the best meeting the board
ever held. The conference of chair
men and field secretaries of the vari-
Gus conference boards was a great
conference. Other important meet
ings will be held there if the high
water will permit the trains to run.
This is a great old world in which
we live, and so much of natural beau
ty that we ought to praise God for
His good to the children of men.
JOHN M. CUTLER.

WEEVIL DAMAGE INCREASES
TO AN ALARMING EXTENT
Heavy Loss in Arkansas, Alabama,
Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Damage to cotton from the boil
weevil is increasing, according to a
bulletin issued recently by the agrl-
cultural department. The bulletin
says:
"The light rainfall in the northern
part of the cotton belt allowed much
needed cultivation. In parts of the
central and southern cotton area cul-
tivation was hindered and the fields
are grassy. Weather was favorable
in most places, however, and cotton
made a satisfactory growth. Owing
to earlier unfavorable conditions the
fields are irregular and in places the
plants are small and backward. The
plants are blooming in central South
Carolina, are forming bolls nicely IN
Georgia, and are fruiting well in
louisiana.
"The damage by the boil weevil is
increasing in Texas and Mississippi.
Weevils are reported in Alabama and
Arkansas, and damage continues IN
louisiana. Cotton lice are reported
in some sections of Alabama"

INDIANA THE MOTHER
OF VICE-PRESIDENTS
Nearly All Nominees Since 1868 Are
From That State.

Nearly All Nominees Since 1000 Are
From That State.
What is there in the air or soil of
the Hoosier State that so favors the
production of vice presidents and
vice presidential candidates? The
present nominees of both the great
parties are from that state.
Since the war Indiana's vice pres
idential nominees have been: Schuy-
Ter A. Colfax. in 1868; Thos. A. Hen
bricks, in 1876: VIM. H. English, in
1880; Thos. A. Hendricks, in 1888;
Chas. w. Fairbanks, in 1904; John
w. Kern, in 1908; Thos. R. Marshall,
in 1912; Chas. w. Fairbanks and
Thos. R. Marshall also in 1916. And
all these candidates at the time of
the nomination, except Colfax, were
residents of Indianapolis.
Probably the fact that the center
of population since 1880 has been in
Indiana is one reason why so many
vice presidents have been nominated
from that state. Political expedien-
cy rather than enthusiasm has con-
trolled in the selection and it is curl
Gus to notice the correspondence be-
tween the westward movement of the
population and the longitude in
which the vice presidents have been
found. Since 1879 the center of pop
ulation has moved westward 557
miles, but the closeness with which
it has chung to the 39th parallel of
latitude is remarkable. This, it may
be remarked, is approximately the
latitude of both Cincinnati and Wash
ington, D. c.

AMBITIOUS DIVERS
TO SALVAGE WRECK
WILL SEEK SILVER SHIP IN 200
FEET OF WATER OFF THE
VIRGINIA CAPES.

The Interoceanic Submarine En-
cheering company, backed by Percy
Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil in
terests; Charles H. Sabin, president
of the Guaranty Trust company of
New York, and Rear Admiral Colby
NJ. Chester, U. S. N, retired, has I'M
dertaken a scientific treasure trove
off the Virginia capes. The first OBJ
jective of the expedition is the deep
sea grave of the Ward liner Merida,
which was rammed four years ago by
the United Fruit company's steamer
Admiral Farragut and went down So
miles off of Cape Charles light, car
rying to the bottom a cargo of silver
bars and other treasure valued at
S1,0O0,00O.
The expedition, which includes the
steam vessels Titania, Fearless and
F. H. Beckwith, a wrecking vessel,
yacht and a tug, is under command
of George D. Stilson, for many years
in charge of government diving work
and the man who raised the United
States submarine F-4 in Honolulu
harbor last year If the first attempt
is successful the company may tackle
some of the many vessels sent to
the bottom by submarines in Euro
pean waters.
Wrecks in Shallow" Water.
Government experts in Washing
ton estimate that 80 per cent of the
wrecks at sea lie in 800 feet or less
of water and that the Stilson equip
ment, which does not require life
lines or air hose connections, should
make it possible to work for many
hours under water at that depth. 1t
may be recalled that the F-4 was over
200 feet below the surface. Stilson
declares that this water is shallow
compared with depths he hopes to
reach by the use of his diving bells.
If the first treasure seeking eXpedi-
ton is successful Stilson will tackle
other rich wrecks along the Atlantic
coast and seek to salvage them. Dur
ing the series of operations off the
Virginia capes Norfolk will be the
base for the treasure hunters.
