known where hejwas. The old Buck
tavern was one of these; but even
that has changed, and every thing
else was new." It is pleasantly in
teresting to observe the effects of
these changes upon the minds of

Swain and Clay about 1,200 .more

The Right Sort of Enterprise.
Capt W. W. Lenoir offers the top
of Hibriten, a beautiful mountain
2,300 feet above sea level, five ra iles
from Lenoir with fifty acres of land,
as a gift to any who will build a
$10,000 hotel at or near the top. It
is is believed the liberal proposition
will soon be accepted and the hotel
be built bv next Summer. .
This is the right sort of enterprise.
Suppose the people will select good
cites and oner them to parties who
will put up machinery and manu
facturing enterprises ; and then let
our merchants give assurance that
they will co-operate with all such,
those we already have as well as
those we may get, in selling their
wares, we can soon start a manufac
turing boom here which will put
the brightest of bright faces upon
our city's ' prosperity.- Manufactu
ring enterprises here will give ems
ployment to labor, this labor will
spend their earnings in house rents,
and for living to our merchants and
farmer. Our merchants and farm-,
ers, therefore, are directly interes
ted in co-operating with and sus
taining every such enterprise here
at home. Our people must work
together, must unite, and work, sys
tematically for such improvements.
This is not sentiment, it is a cent I
meant. (While horrible, we hope
this is pardonable.) Our Knights
of Labor propose to co-operate in
such purposes as herein suggested.
Let our .business meD, landowners
and farmers unite with the Knights
and let all work together for so good
a cause. Let us all work:, and work
in the right way, to keep Asheville
a booming.

A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF RE
CENT EVENTS AT DORCHEST
ER, SOUTH CAROLINA.
The following very interesting letter
to a mend m thu citv has been kindlv
furnished us for publication We use it
with pleasure, as it relates to points of
historical interest
The writer. Mr. J. Irvincr Westervelf.
of Summerville, has many friends in
Asheville, who will read this with pleas
nre. He says: -
A party, of which the writer was a
member, set out on an exploring tour to

caused by the recent earthquake. Tak-
mg "Dorchester in our route, we Boon
arrived at the old chtrch tower of revolu
tion fame, and found the ruins of the
wans still standing erect, but alas the
earthquake has in a moment shivered
and fractured the front face including
the arch of the doorway from the top to
bettom, and from the top-corners, of -the
walls, great masses of masonry, six or
eight in number-and probably weighing
three or four tons each, have been-hurled
to the ground a distance of thirty feet
or more from the base; bearing evidence
not oniy oi we laittiruiness of the', work
and strength of the mortar in earlier
days, bat also of the tremendous and
terrible power of the asrencv niacins
them in their present position, thus do
ing greater injury to the old tower in one
instant tnan time nas done in more than
a century. The walls of the several
family burial enclosures hate also hnn
shattered and thrown down by the
shock, tablets and tombstones broken.
The vandals will now be able (not with
out pic ana sieage nowever? to add to
their Chimnies, and the Relic Hunters
to tneir treasures. -
Go we now to Oak Forest Plantation, on
the old State road falso ol Ravnlntinn
days) leading from Dorchester to Charles
ton, ana aoouc luree miles Irom the old
ruins, we enter the s venue of live oaks
leading to the enclosure ot the once fam
ily mansion of the then nrnnrietnr in
days gone by, (time having obliterated
it; we arrive at the quarters ! at present
".utnBU- "j oevenu lamiues oi negroes,
living in temporary huts near their
houses, they having been so fearfullv
terrorized by theshocks and awful visi
ble effects at their very door steps 1 They
cannot be induced to enter or put foot
within; several of them telling me they
wou'd sooner perish in the open air
rather than go near tbem. Some of the
larger fissures, oveninos and land slide r
to be seen within one hundred vards of
these houses, and indeed cracks and
crevices actually pass under them; and
irom mis point tne wnoie distance down
to the water edge of the river (the Ash
ley) these fissure chasms occur in horiznn-
tal lines, separated from a few inches to
several feet, extending parallel with the
river, several Hundred yards, and at one
point, the entire top surface of the river
bank has slidden fully a hundred feet
down into the stream, carrying with it
several large trees, which are yet stand
ing at a considerable angle over the wa
ter, their bases submerged 8 or 10 feet by
the water of the triver. Many of these
fissures are from 4 inches to 5 feet wide,
and in several you may see into the
depth of the earth fifty feet or more.
I am informed by those who have
opportunity of observing them daily,
they are gradually settling and closing,
and my impression is, (given for what it
is worth) this whole mass of earth form
ing the entire Bluff, will eventually be
submerged and form the bottom of the
river, especially should there be prolong
ed arid heavy rains with severe freezes.
About three miles from this place and
near Ladson's station on S. C. K. W. in
an open old field are to be found num
bers of band Craters or Geusers, the sand
deposit immediately around the basins
is in many places 2 or 3 feet deep and of
various shades, many specimens contain
ing large quantities of mica in minute
particles. Within these sand upheavals
the" mouth of the crater or basin, by
digging a few feet, may be found bedded,
masses of a soft unctuous matter of differ
ent colours, and weighing from 1 oz. to 6
pounds. The basin of this one described
measures 10x16 feet and 5 feet deep. The
bottom partially - covered 2 or 3 feet in
depth with a soft tenacious blue mud
resembling somewhat a paste of powder
ed pumice stone; this white soft may
readily be cut with a knife, soon becomes
dry and exceedingly hard admitting of a
high polish. . These masses and the dif
ferent coloured sand are unmistakably
upheavals from some unknown depth
during the eruption. .
There are at least a dozen, large ones in
this immediate locality; aud within two
miles of Summerville we counted in pass
ing them . no less than forty-four sand
deposits showing earth fractures and
upheaval?, all making tbeir distinctive
mark: in fact the surroundings of this
particular section abounds with these
sand geysers; they are to be" seen in ev
