It has been repainted from pit to dome, giving it a plea sing uudrefr'shingappeaiance;a complete system of water-works has been lidded, with private baths. The table and service is splendid. It is fast filling with delighted visitors. An Italian or chestry from Washinuton arriv ed Thursday evening and the younger set is in it glory in the mazes of the German and other dances. Mr. (J. A.

Mrs..). M. Rern liaidt, Douglas, Ikdl and John C. were the first to register. Mr. Warren Carter, a native of Mowing Rock, whose father was long a resident of this beautiful country, and who is now a weal thy and prominent business man of Philadelphia, is here for the first time in quite a number of years, and is a Rlowing Rockite with great enthusiasm, and high hopes for the future of the great est section ia this couutry. J le was seen at his beautiful moun tain cottage on the outskirts of Rlowing Rock village, and I ask ed him. "Mr. Carter, what are your im pressions ol the Rlowing Ruck country at this time?" "Well. Mr. Hurrygraph,ir would be an impossibility for me to con vey these impressions to paper," said he with a pleasing smile that gave token to the fact that he was a firm believer in Rlowing Rock and this section of t h e State. Continuing he said: "The place must be permanently lived in to be appreciated. 'i do not think there is any where on the globe a place where the sun shines more beautifully, or the air richer, or more invigo rating than here, Eveu when the clouds are over us tie air is soft and balmy, devoid olthrttharsh nees felt in other places. One must love nature to appreciate our place. This is no community to come to for artificial amuse ments, but ro him who wants to taste the real things ol life, those which make for higher living, I advise to come, nnd when he leaves here the mind pictures will be so strong, and the impres sions so lasting, that he w ill nev er be satisfied until he returns. "The development of this sec tion during the nast few years has been along! broad and sub stantial lints. Reing so far Iroin a railroad station only those w ho are looking for such a place as this come, and this very fact has made our community what it is for it has tended to eliminate the very element which will exploit a place for procuring gain regard j less of artistic surroundings. Rut the enduring value is not so much due to those who, like myself, have come here from the outside, as to the true substantiality ol the native people, who stand as a solid background of honor, worth and integrity. It is these people, reared here, who have re- pe ted iod hnndiwork audj made it lsMble lor tbene eoinj 'er to live nnd lii-osfwh. r,'. .

"Radiating lor mites from the main thoroughhire are located the homes and estates of the lovers of the mountains. E ich place is so situated as to com mand a view, slopingdown in all directions to the yalleys. with their wouderful vistas. The mountains have been pre served almost in their native state, our peop'e respecting the value ol the treesandth beauty they impart. II.;re nature rune riot ami vegetation is so luxuri ant as to causeeonstant surptise. The whole mountanin rop is full, of good spinalis which furnish all abound atice of the most excellent water. "In my opinion the entry of a railroad would be acalatuity; for it would throw commercialism into our midst. There will al ways be enough lovers of the sublime mountains to put up with the inconvenience lo get ting here people who will perpetuate what is alreadv establshed." Xcw Parties Come High The nerd of mouey for the new party h even more urgent than the nued of a justification. The old parties are oiganized throughout the couutry down to the (smallest political divisions. All they net d for the campaign is sufficient funds for the service headquarters, tor the distribution of documents and the payment ol speakers. Rut the Iluil Moose party must create an organiza tion in every state. That is a gigantic undertkiang, for which probably four our or ure miilion dollars would be required Who will put up the money?

A itli these and with the engine the Compa ny will be able, with its other su perb equipment, to push the work with the greatest possible speed and to an early comple tion. Mr. W. J.

Out in California they are gathering the grasshopper crop, sacking it up and selling it for chicken 1 e e d . Formerly the grasshopper ate up everything green in sight and made himself a general nuisance. The vacuum eleanee has changed him into a profitale crop. It nil came about by a young man trj-mg to sell cleaners to the wives of farmers in the vicinity of Newman. They would not buy and he was on his way to the depot when he pass ed a farm where the grasshop pers were eating the crop, and an idea popped into his head that made his fortune. lie mounted his sample on a sled and pushed it in the field. Now the vacuni is used by the thousands iu that sestion. A two-horse wagon fol lows the cleaners and the grnss hoppers are sacked and huuled to a drying shed, farmers look on the cleaner as a heaven-sent blessing while the grasshoppers are said to regard it much us a contesting Roosevelt delegate looks upon the Republican steam roller. The story comes duly verified, but the heat must be sending the California imaginat ion up the tubj of cleaners want to get into prominence. The Savannah News.

Tin fallacy that a hiisiii' sstujC nation must come every -I year tJurintr tliopresideiitialcainifUgri is steadily losing its hold, Clt observers of ecoiiomipionditioim have.ignvd that seldom iu tl4 , ltliepn.it have them campaigns the prut themselves i -fleeted business, Jit- tuih.tncos that have happened to occur during campaigns being traml to other en uses than Kli-ti'-al strifi- leslie"s Weekly thin wevk tells in a concise manner the present status. Haziness in 11(12, says Ix-slie'a rives no sanction to the old no tion that presidential yearn nre nlways unhM orable for general trade. Railroad earnings are at aiiaot the highest point ever touched at this season ol the year. The number ot idle cars nnd locomotives, which was large a f-w months ago., israoid l diminishing. Rank clearings exceed th -highest figures oi the past lor any summer mouths. Most ol t he country's steel mills are running close to their full ca pacity, and their capacity hasiu crcased in recent years. The country is importing more mer chandise than it ever did before, except for a short time in 1910 while its expors of merchandise leave all i.raier records far be hind. Strikes in the tpxtiln mills of Massachusetts and New Jersey earlier in the vear and in thecoal fields more recently were for a tune a formidable menace to tiade, but they have ended and no serious labor tvoubleearenow anywhere in 6ight. So farascan be forsecn at this sight. So lar as can be forseen at this time, the country's full trade will beat the best years of the past. Unless the presidential outcome turns out to be unfavorable, the 1912 total in general business wiJI reach impressive figures. Much, however, will depend on Ihe crops. The only time in the past hall a century whn trade was serious ly disturbed in presidential years was in lS7u and 1S06. In each case t his was due to a financial convulsion which took place long before the presidential canvass, or ui is ti and in 1NH3. Tne panic of those two years brought a trade paralysis whose effects re mained for four or live years. Mild business flurries took place in 1884 and in 100 1, but. they were not serious, and politics had very little to do with either ol them. We had a financial scare in the closing months of 1907, which projected itself into 1903, but politics had no hand in bring ing it, and it virtually ended be fore the election of that year.
