THE COW-HOUSE INCIDENT.
The cow-house incident was the only featuro of the Asheville jaunt
anywise unpleasant. There was in general an express, and in other
cases a tacit, agreement among the newspaper men to not mention the
affair, as all felt that a mistake had been made which was unwitting—
that our genial host had otfended where he meant to please, and that
it would bo the height of unkindness to portake of his hospitality
and then criticize some feature of the entertainment that might not be
exactly to our taste. So this paper had made up its mind toSny noth
ing of the episode, but as many of the editors are discussing it quite
freely, our readers are entitled to know the facts, which are these :
On receipt of Mr. Vanderbilt's cordial invitation, and immediately
after the 12 o'clock noon meal, the editorial party left Kenilworth Inn
in carriages for the visit. There were nearly a hundred vehicles in
line, probably averaging four persons each, and among the crowd were
a number of prominent Asheville people. Something of the sights
seen on the drive through the millionaire's demesnes has already boon
noted in these columns. After traveling several hours over the splen
didly macadamized roads and driveways, the party drew up at the
dairy. This is a large brick and stone building with a town clock on
it, looking like a court house, and possibly cost a good deal more
than our new Stokes temple of justice. It is the place where hun
dreds of tine sleek Jersey and other kinds of improved cattle are
milked. It has offices where numbers of clerks are busy lookingafter
Mr. Vanderbilt's dairy business. Inside on a cement tloor clean as a
pin, long rows of stalls made by low iron railings receive the cows
when the milking process begins. The animals were driven up just
as we arrived, and as they came over the brow of a hill, the sight was
very interesting. Between the rows of stalls, between long rows of
cow-noses, in aisles probably eight feet in width, tables had been ar
ranged Ijeariug elegant refreshments of ice creams, sherbets, pastries,
etc. It looked very inviting, the linen was immaculate, the spoor.a
polished silver, the vessels apparently cut-glass. But there were the
cows, and wo were after all in a barn, and the dignity of some of the
brethren began to be slightly ruffled. Others of the party felt em
harassed and didn't know what to do, being uncertain whether the
millionaire had intended to honor thein or had taken advantage of
this opportunity to administer a rebuke to their detnocratieal ideas,
while still others got mad because the crowd wouldn't fall to and ate with
a will, but nevertheless wouldn't take the initiative. Consequently, an
extremely embarassing situation was the result. The party in which
the writer was, after viewing the many interesting breeds and species
of cattle, and looking at the sights and things around and alwut, re
piired to their and, the dairy having been the last number
on the program, returned to the hotel.
It was learned afterwards that a few of the folks ate in the dairy
a:id felt ireful toward those who did not conform themselves to the
northerner's program, while the majority of the crowd gathered out
side on tlv.) lawn; and finally Mr. and Mrs. .Vanderbilt, whether by
pre-arrangement or whether they had got wind of the hitch in the pro
ceedings, drove down in their carriage and personally superintended
the affair; that the lunch was served on the beautiful lawns adjacent
and was very good. The distinguished couple were said to have been
exceedingly nice to the visitors, and to have regretted the affair, etc.,
etc.. etc. It was oven reported that Mr. Vanderbilt admitted that the
incident was a blunder of his foreman, an Englishman, and to have
discharged that functionary for his awkwardness, which last
statement is probably a stretching of the facts.
Lunching in dairies is said to be a novel form of entertainment by
royalty, a custom in England, and to be a kind of social fad at fash
ionable places in America. But Mr. Vanderbilt might have boon less
profuse with his fads of royalty on this occasion, and not have sprung
them on plain North Carolina and Virginia editors, who, however, do
not object to eating with cows if they know the form to be a la New

PLEASURABLE EVENTS COMING.
July 27, Farmers Institute at Danbury.
August 12, Meeting of Old Soldiers at Danbury.
August 21, Teachers Institute at Danbury, continuing 2 weeks.
August 2*'), Sunday School Convention at Danbury.
Besides these events, there are township Sunday School convent ions,
religious and social gatherings, otc., galore, giving the people plenty
of recreation during the finest season of the year when the hardest
work is well nigh over, and the crops are laid by.
ADMITS WE ARE RIGHT.
"Me" is quite lavish in his praises of our public road system, and
thinks the Reporter is "blind as a bat"' regarding its merits. And
yet he unguardedly establishes the truth of our contention when ho
admits that all efforts to enforce the law have failed absolutely. That
is exactly our point. The roa I law nny be beautiful in theory, but
us far as giving us good roads is concerned, it is a nonentity. The
value of a law is measured by the practical results which it effects,
not by what it might, could, would or should have done.
SUMMER RESORTS FLOURISHING.
The Stokes county summer resorts seem to be flourishing this seas
on—Piedmont, Moore's and Vadc Mocum each having good crowds in
spite of the unfavorable weather. It ruins nearly every day, and this
getiemlly runs the guests back frouj.the muddy roads of the moun
tains t > the city, but this time it has but little affected the size of the
crowds.
