Belk In Charlotte Ob server. Away In Jackson county, some 10 miles west from Lake Toxaway, is the far-fs Whiteside mountain, a spur of the Blue Ridge, and one of the most sublime and picturesque points of scenic grandeur In the whole region known as "The Land of the Sky." This mountain stands out from the main ridge, almost alone, and lifts Its : lofty brow to an Altitude of above 6000 feet The side to the ee-itward lies In an Irregular seml-clrcle, the projecting point sweeping out at either end, forming rugged concave, about one mile, on a line, from point to point From the highest part of the middle section of the mountain the wall Is almost perpendicular, standing some :000 feet above the valley, and the OUT OF SORTS When you feel lazy, stretchy, half tick, "blue" and discouraged look to the liver.

At this point a great tongue of granite D rejects some fifteen feet into the air and resembles a huge arrow head. I named it "The Lion's Tongue" but a number of the natives call it 'The Fool's Rock" Implying, perhaps, that no one but a fool would venture out un it. If this be true then the winter must be enrolled as one among the many who have stood upon that rock, and felt the thrill or Indescribable grandeur flow Into his soul. At the base of this rocK. seated with a number of others, I saw an angle, high in the air, above the top of Black Rock mountain; and as he passed over the summit, he closed nis great wings and dropped line a large ball some two or three tnousana ieei, then suread again his pinions and swept across the valny before us with Incredible speed and on to nis nwi smong the crags at the farther end of the cliff. . ' - I never before felt tne run rorce of the figure "Swift as an eagie. Hut to my story About three months ago, party of sight -seers from Highlands set put for Whiteside mountain. The company was ' composed . of Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dillard. Misses Martha. Heacock, Pek and Irene Kdwards; M..r. .Yank Cube. Hurloy McCall. Sum Reese, Hurney Wilson. Que Hftty and Jean Potts. Just thirteen in sui. fin reaching the summit mo cura- mnnn hx'iim dlvl.led. some go ing to the highest point, lomtto the IJonS Tongue" or -rum. . ,hli Mr. and Mrs. Wright. Miss Ilea cock and Mr. (M'all went on som- . i..,.r.d varus farmer iu IVU I u " north. Suddenly the top of the mountain whs ringing with wim scream- v.i.ht rushed rapidly to the soeno tii wn confusion. The women were running to and fro. almost frantic. little time before Wright could learn what had really . . A Mr i.aty and sne of the other, had been out on the rook, viewing the stH.no. with a !". "I.", of d.ln,M. he mad. . ... a r,n the nrolnet'ng roi K. rv,. ; ; -... R"y h. fallen off me rock: he wii-i-ed through, juh k . '. u, nn arrow down rr, lira '" . ,i i , , ,., . ... ,!, tr.l. l.-'s killK.I, I looked and saw Baty hanging over the edge of the precipice some ISO or 160 feet below stopped: In his fall by a scrub bush of rhododendron -while below him the perpendicular rock went down one thousand feet or more. As he looked he saw Gus move his hand and by this knew he was still alive. Now, no man In the country know Whiteside mountain better than Charlie Wright, and no man better knew the risk and peril of attempting to reach the place where Ous Baty was hanging by the little bush. Take all the ' women away we must have silence take them clear out of hearing,'! Thus Charlie Wright gave orders. Then turning to Mr. Dillard, he said, "Can you go with me?" Mr. Dillard said, "I'll try." ' Remembering that there was , a ledge leading in towards . the place where the young man had lodged, Wright led the way and Dillard followed. Mr. Wright believed that if he could get down this ledge It would bring him within some thirty or forty feet of Baty. After going some distance, the rock became so steep that IXIlard said, can't cross that rock, Charlie," and turned back. Wright went on, cling' Ing to the rock, until he reached some It Mr. bushes growing In the crevice. It was some thirty feet-across the rock, and precipitous! But Wright clung to the rock gripping his fingers In the crev ices, worn there by the storms of the ages. ' " ;;'-.';;' ?"-'- - ' ,: At last he reached the line along which Baty had fallen and, looking down saw his man some twenty feet below him, wedged against a small bush on the very edge of the preci pice. Baty was lying party on his left side, his left foot crossed under his right knee his right foot hanging over the cliff. , The very last bush on the edge had stopped him. Had he miss ed this bush, or gone one foot on either side of It, he would have fallen fully 1000 feet . before touching a thing. No man had ever been there since the mountains were brought forth! ' "Be still, Gus. I'm coming to you. Don't move. It's Charlie Wright.'' Clambering down some twenty feet more, and brave Charlie Wright had his hand of Ous Baty. He was still alive and conscious but badly hurt by the fall. One knee was terribly bruised, and a large Btick had pierced his head, JuBt back of his ear. Wright pulled Out the stick, and spoke a few words of comfort to the wounded man. ' Now, think of these two men, one of them almost entirely disabled; 60 or 60 feet of sloping rock above them, and nearly 2000 to the valley below them clinging to the bushes and rocks, and no human help, It makes one feel ulzzy! , : The other day I stood on the east ern slope and looked at. the place. and the whole thing took on the col orlng and shape of the miraculous. But the crisis le not vet over. Hnw c,at Charlie Wrlgbit, brave and strong as he Is, climb out of this perilous position with a njun almost entirely unable to help himself? To get out himself would seem almost Impossible. uut to ciimi) tnat rock with a man half killed, would be little less than a miracle. But Wright is both strong and brave. , 1 He spoke In a commanding tone: "Now, Ous, you mijst not think of your pain; you must help yourself all you can. Be cool and do as I tell you.' Taking him firmly by the collar of coat and vest, he lul!od him out, and scrambled up a fw feet to where he could get a temporary resting place Then Mr. Wright got below him and, putting his shoulder under him, pushed him little by little, some thlr ty feet up the rock. Now, they have reached the most perilous placc that Bteep rock must be crossed. Mr. Duly was In great pain. What was (lone had to be done quickly. His strength would not brook long delay. I At this point, ikr. Wright called to Mr. Dillard to come to his help. "If you can't come, send for my brother, I must havo help." But he knew that delay would no doubt mean death perhaps the death of them both. Seeing the ' peril of the situation Mr. Dillard took on new courage, and aid, "I am coming. Charlie." And come he did, clinging to the steep rock. .'!. We held Batyinn his feet, one on each side,' draggiiLz and pushing him HUlfl by.llttler-wfcvinK his feet along with out feet, and holding on, I don't know how,- till we reached the ledge where the rock wad not so steep. Here we rested till the lines and halters from the buggies !were brought; and we tied them around Mr. Baty and pulled him to the top. This is as they told It to me. As soon as they reached the top Mr, Bnty fainted, and it took half an hour to bring him to consciousness. Then they made1' a litter of poles and lap robes and carried him to the buggy, more than a mile down the mountain, They drove to Highlands and In two months Mr. Baly was' sound and well, Mr. Baty, what did vou think as you slipped from the rock?" I asked I scarcely thought anything. It was all so quick. But I knew that was gone! It surprises me, even now, to think I am alive. I shall never cease to be grateful to the good Lord, and these two men." These men live at Highlands. Ma con county, and no report of this in cldent has been given to the papers. The above Is a brief account of one of the most daring rescues ever made In the Old North Bute, and Is but feeble nortraval of the facts. A man must see the mountain to be fully Im Dressed with the degree of heroic nerve necessary to do such a deed. Men who know the mountain de clare to me. that this feat of daring has perhaps never been equalled in the history of North Carolina. A rentleman who knew all tne facta, said to me, "Charlie Wrlgnt the only man in this county, in my Judgment, who has the nerve and the courage ven to have attemptea to rescue dus Baty from the edge of thiit cliff " And after seeing the olRca I am of the same opinion. If any man ever oeservea tne nrro medal. Charlie Wright Is that man. And next to him. W. M. Dillard These men told me that ' no sum of money could tempt them to under take it again. "I would not do It for all tne mon ey In the world," said Charlie Wright But I guess 1 would try it, if some one was hanging there and I thought could save his life." Now that is the language of true courage. Mr. Baty is a man some 26 years of age. Mr. Dillard is JO and Mr. Wright about 85. Mr. Wright Is the son of Barak Wright of Shortoff, who lives some , six miles from Whiteside mountain, and who first told me of "Mutt and Jeff." V .)

OL Purest and Best Rumford Baking Powder of Slg. Creatore's concerts Is his ver sion of the Carmen Overture. A noted critic expressed his opinion of this se lection as follows: - - 'There was an episode In last! night's program that was like to sweep one off his feet. It was the Carmen. Beginning with the sensu ous dance, when the Castlllan pulses catch the fervor and the castanets tinkle, the leading themes gradually creep into the tone body. By and by. in a graduation, ' that is passionate and yet logical, they dominate. Then. swept along into the very atmosphere Into actual belief, the auditor for gets the leader's Intense physical ef fort, ceases to wonder at it, for the message for the music grows ponder ously into eloquence .and one is taken before he realizes it into the very 1 tragedy of the close. It seems like a! . story told with thrilling power. It la no trick, still less affection. It is real It Is tragedy. It means something! , awesome, fearsome. It seems like an inspired vitality. The critical sense, even of him who knows every bar of that, music, seaaes to act, he ia lost in the power of It. It Is as If the leader feels each character In the music His baton seemed charged with elec- rlc energy and direful understand ing. And the dash and crash of those. closing measures of 'Carmen' rising like a torrent, telling such a story a. story full of the tragedy of life and, death carries one Into complete sym pathy, compels hi mto hear and to feel and to thrill. The effect Is not quite like any other musical experi ence of this sort I can remember. It la unique In Its power and it eloquence. It makes one wish for more much more of the same sort." Sig.Creatore will most likely include this number on his program here, Saturday, Octo ber 14, in the Auditorium, There has already been a large advance sale of tickets for this concert which promises to be the leading musical treat of the season.
