Extracts taken from a letter from
Corwm Mlnton to ms parents about
his trip to North Carolina is of inter-
est to his friends here: II greatly en-
joyed my trip down here-my trip
that | had by daylight. l left In
dlanapolls at 3:lo Saturday AFTER
noon, and by the time l reached Cln-
cinnatti it was dark. AS soon as |
changed to the southern limited, III
went to bed and by morning was in
Knoxville. The trip thru the noun
tains from Knoxville to Ashevllie and
from Ashville to Marion wasda treat
to me, OF course. HolNhad never seen
mountains before, SO that my idea as
to their size was, shriyelled about one
fourth. The A. H. areaches pAshWlle

Broad river, whose wild and frothy
waters drop, two thousand feet, in
forty miles. The Southern Power

Ia sunny day. Most of them are Wood3
fed from foot to Summit with green
/ EEpines and red -leMed oaks, and from "a
distance they remind one Of great, over
Eturned coffee kettles streaked with yer.
sdegris. After going thru over twenty
Stunnels We got up to Ashville. 1fsay pu
because Ashville is thirty one hundred
feet above sea level and it was a
Steady up -grade all the way. Having
two hours to Wait III Ashville, took
a street car and cork-screwed around
up to the center Of the town. Its q
smart, clean little town alright, but
heavens if one shouldislip on the pub
lie square, he would slide in one Of
eight possible directions. The real
beauty spots, summer resorts and
tourist, trips, are out from the city
several miles, SO did not have chance
ITO visit them. / decided to walk back
ito the station, but soon became hope
slessly lost.E It was almost train time
sso believe me began to think fast.1
looked over "a wall and found that, !
Rcould almost spit on the station roof.
Those holes that | made going down
the hill will last for years. The trip
from Ashville was another splash o,of
scenery. We didn't have any convep-
Eient riveryvalleylto follow this tine. 1t
bwas straight break thru mountains,
EwithNmiles of tunnels and awindings
around the sides Of the narorw valleys
whereYW we could look down and 81 see
the track double back and forth under
u.s. In one placeawe gllooped a side
valley eight milesin order, to get two,
and IIdon't know how many feet I'VE
dropped in the distance 10 The "trip
\ from Ashvilleat Marion was the best
4 ever had. I merely changed trains
at Mar on and at 1880 was Id Latti-
l more where Mr.. Loflance,o \ the vice
president of the company was at the
4 station to meet me. He took me out
to his temporary headquarters and
| gosh !! Twas glad they were only tenn

/ id, Oh, Gee! rickety houses set up on
stilts. Pigs, cats, dogs and chickens
all sleep under them; windows out ;cat
4 holes in the doors and the wind blows
