AN OBJECT LESSON
In June the Columbus Hotel put
-an advertisement in the Resort Col
umn of a Jacksonville paper. It
was only a small ad but it bad the
.desired result It stated that par
ties desiring a cool, quiet place, at
reasonable rates, in which to spend
r the summer could find the saujs by
addressing the proprietor Jbe
hotel at Columbus. N. ,C; Imm
ately letters of inquiry began -dj
dome in, soon nearly everyroom
wua MiirrMcrnii nnd now tne.XSoiei is
full to overflowing with Ip&SyS as
the result of judicious advertising.
There are numbers of; visitors at
Tryon; the Mimosa, Skvijk and
Log Cabin Inn are entertaining
large numbers of guests, and. also
a few private houses in erentjQneViju and ei bt Bpholar
parts of the county, 'hicliJves
that this county can attracf summer
visitors in large numbers, if, the
proper effort is made to get them.
Let -South .Carolina, Ucorgja and
Florida know who yQu, ate and
where to find you and you will
have no trouble in filling your
house with summer guests. Adver
tise in the right place and at the
right time and you will not be
disappointed. V. '

: The; Asheville papers are talking
about a plan the itailroad Officials
are making to remedy the -trouble
caused by the steep grade on Sal
uda Mountain. 'They propose to
'construct two safety tracks one
mile apart on the three mite grade
which will leave., the fn&iu track,
turn aside for sotne distance and
ascend. A safety "twitch will be
provided so that in ca?e a jtrain
should run away the switch may be
thrown open and the train will run
off the grade and slacken its s.pectt
This may be a, good . scheme; Imt
we prefer to See it tried a year be
fore acknowledging ias snchy. IJe
believe it is just a manoeuvre on
the part of the Itailroad in face of
public sentiment

for ihe Southern' 'suggests-that if
