According to the great oithern author, Harry Stillwell Ednrds: ''Mountain seems piled on ounlain. the peaks receding into disinces the eye cannot fathom, the hole constituting a land of alim-st ; palling grandeur and mystery, vcr it the poet rhapsodizes, the artt dreams and the novelist thrills, o matter what background or foreround be needed, it is to be found t're in these mountain? traversed by le ASH. Hut there are others than poet, rtiat, novelist, who come to these enes for thought. These are the iitfosophers, who deal in cause and Tect; who seek the wherefore and hence; and who speculate on the legibilities. To concede that onyling is wasted is to accuse the Croatr and to slander Nature. No true liilosopher is ever guilty of such rror. The perspective of. the un i light human is of hut a generation r two, and a handful of generations annot measure a mountain. "The great Appalachian range is le exposed vertebra of a land from hich physical causes have stripped tie soil for use elsewhere. Hut verteraes carry the vital forces in all ature. and that which to the fHreaching eye of the human atom on mountain top seems waste, is really he protecting sheath of wealth. As ar separated points, in quantities innitesimal compared with the reasonille possibilities, have been found ources of wealth in these mountains or the enrichment and development f the human race. Th s column rould not hold a bald list of the c-leDents, the ores, oil, gas, minerals and hemical compounds of the rocks, rees and verdure of what we know as he Blue Ridge. "The past of the Appalachians, or 3 we know them, the blue Ridge, is i fascinating study, but the past is inly of value as a basis for prophecy nd promise of the future. The great- j st asset of the South today is the Hue Ridge Mountains, and the study f them is of immeasurable imporance. Remove the Blue Ridge, were uch a thing possible, ar.d you remove ho source of southern rivers and, of qunl importance, souther springs 'hat ise from deep sources. In a word, j ou sweep away agriculture by leav- j ng it dependent on local Khowcis. j Vithout the Blue Ridge, coal, iron,1 il, natural gas, cement, coke, lime ] nd other factors of human develop- J nent would rise to fabulous values; n the South.

Visible nature vanishes into thin air, swiftly or slowly as the case may be, and its elements come back for rc.ombinatins and rebirth of forms. The supreme factor in the South is the Blue Ridge, whose hands pluck the clouds and srather the harvest of the skies. And so it is the philosopher, delighting in the skill of the artist, the song of the poet, the dnama of the novelist, yet look* over and beyond theni all and sees the laboratory of Nature and Nature's God, the mighty mountains at their immemorial task.
