naturally fertile ard they produce
:.<!erfu! crops of wheat, rye. oats,
corn, Irish potatoes, cabbage that
sometimes grow to weigh 25 to 30
p.tuuds and every variety of vegetable
desired. Nearly all of the
farming which we saw was in the

industrious and energetic and they
keep Susy at ail Reasons. When j

Waynesville. one of the
highest points in that section, and
* ir many years a famous summer
r< sort. A sulphur spring is one of
the attractive features of the place
it has proven to he most benef.eial
to all who have been fortuneiiough
to go there. And be

about 10 o'clock we did not know i
how the world rocked along until 8
" lock the next morning. It was
pimply delightful beyond description.
and we only wish that every
reader of the Progress could have
the same privilege which we enjoyed.
as a night's sleep in that cool j
M ountain air is the most refresh- i
ing thing imaginable. Col. and !
Mrs. Ferguson and their beautiful j
and accomplished daughter made 1 ;
our visit a most delightful one, '
ivhich was one of the most pleasant
experiences of our trip through <
he mountains. Mrs. Ferguson is a j 1
?ister of our Mr. Cooper.
Friday morning we heard a sound
ivhich is familiar in middle Georgia
in mid-winter, the chirp of rob- '
ins. and inquiry developed the fact
that they spend the summer in
Wayncsville and along the ranee of '
[he Blue Ridge, while in- .he fall
they leave for their winter resort
it points in the south and Cuba
and Central America. Mrs. Ferguson
informed us that for several
years the robins have raised broods
in the large shade trees that surround
her homo, and the chirp is
the first sign of the arrival of
spring. Several of these handsome
birds could be seen about the premises.
Leaving Waynesville Friday morning
we rode over a splendid hard surface
road to Asheville, the greatest
city in that section of North Carolina.
There were several thousand
cars parked along the curbings of
the many streets and it was with some
difficulty that a place could be foun
to leave ours. But this was finally
done and we registered at the Lan
gren hotel. The streets presented
a busier scene than Atlanta, as the
people were moving in swarms al
over the city, each one apparently
racing to get to some place before
somebody else got there first. Mr.

Cooper is well acquainted in Ashevilie
and his friends were giving him
cordial greetings of welcome as we
sauntered through the streets to see
the eights of the metropolis which hagrown
from a mountain village to
a great city within a few years,
and is expanding in all directions,
with a most gratifying growth.
The business men there don't ask
if you are coming to Ashevilie. bu*
they ask wher. are you coming, ar
they believe that every man who
goes there will eventually become
a citizen, because of the many attractions
ami the fine opportunities
that present themselves in almost
ali line> of business.
We left Ashevilie Saturday morning
and traveled leisurely thrcug
Hendersonville. X. C., Greenville
Abbieville. McCormick. S. C-. and
crossed the Savannah river thirteei
miles above Augusta, arrivin
there about D o'clock where the
right was spent, and returned to
Sandersville about noon Saturday. It
was a great trip and was enjoyed
more fully than is possible to describe
through the medium of a
country weekly newspaper.
There was a fine rain in the McCormick
section, which was greatly
beneficial to ali kinds of crops,
but only a light sprinkle at Augusta,
and none between Augusta and
Sander.-viUe on ihe Waynesboro
route.
