A TRIP TO THE - ,
LAND OF THE SKY"
Scenery That is Unsurpassed Won
ders and Delights of a Visit to
Chimney , Rock and Asheville.
(BY HAPPY JACK) v
Dd the people of North Carolina
appreciate' their native State as they
should? I recently heard aman who
has traveled extensively m Amerk'a,
England France and Italy remark
that when it came to natural scenery,
North Carolina offered just as attrac
tive and -beautiful as one would find
in the world. When 'you come to
think about it, he was right. Bound
ed on the east by the Atlantic ocem,
then the coastal plain lOv lands, fol
lowed by the red hills of the Pied
mont section, leading on to the loft
iest mountain peaks east of the Miss
issippi river when one has traversed
North Carolina from Currituck to
Cheroicee they have viewed natural
attractions that are not surpassed.
Not until recently had I been able
to realize just what the great State
really is. I had heard others tell of
the beautiful and attractive scenery
of western North Carolina, I had read
about it, but had never been so fortu
nate as to view it with the natural
eye. Before then I could not appre
ciate as I can Aow my own, my, native
State.,
Boarding a Seaboard train I was
hurried across the $tate to Ruther
fordton.the gateway to the beautiful
mountain scenery along the French
Broad, or Rocky Broad, river, through
Hickory Nut Gap and to Chimney
Rock, It was my good fortune to be
met at Rutherfordton by , Dr. h. B.
Morse of Hendersonville, owner of
Chimney Rack, one of the chief attrac
tions to be found in the Blue Ridge
mountains. . Leaving Rutherfordton
on Dr. Morse's . mountain-climbing
auto, w followed the noted river and
with eyes wide open I gazed - upon
scenes of .nature. The doctor knew
all the places that' would be of most
interest to a person unacquainted with
the "Land of the Sky." Reaching
Chimney Rock that is, the foot of
the rock about nightfall, J dropped
into Flack's Mountain inn. where I
found a mountain supper awaiting one
that felt capable of doing it justice.
Rising .with the chickens next morn
ing, I .was so an following a' trail to
the top of Chimney Rock.. It was, af
ter I had walked more than three
miles that I reached the top of this
noted beauty spot. Here I might add
that I could have ridden to the base
of the rock had I waited for a "bus".
Dr. Morse has completed a dandy road
at a cost of thousands of dollars, an
achievement for which the people of
all North Carolina should feel grate
ful to the doctor. Upon the rock Dr.
Morse has erected a number of cot
tages and operates one of the most
up-to-date cafeterias to be found.
Since the road has been completed as
many as 30,000 people hate visited
the rock, during one season, and had it
not. been for. the unusual amount of
rain the number of visitors this year
would have been much greater than
during any previous year. "'
A thing that puzzles me, and many
others, is why the Seaboard would
run a railroad to Rutherfordton, with
in twenty miles of Chimney Rock,
and never extend the road to that
most attractive spot in the Blue Ridge
mountains. From Chimney one can
get a view of the mountains, the val
leys and all that is to be seen in the
mountains. From Chimney Rock one
can get a view of mountains, the val-
by rail to the most attractive scene
in Western North Carolina. It is my
opinion that by such an extension thje
railroad company would soon realize
returns that would meet the expendi
tures of constructing the road and
surely the public would 'realize a long-
ieit desire.
Along the route I noted that the
apple crop the largest perhaps ever
grown in that 'section was ripe and
cider was plentiful. Apples are sell
ing m Asheville for 40 cents a bushel
whije in Lumberton they sell for 60
cents a dozen.
From Chimney Rock I made the
trip to Asheville via the "bus" line
and there I spent a few days ming
ling with people from far and- near.
I drove hurriedly by Grove Park inn,
the hotel where the rates range from
$r.bu to f 5tt the day. As you will
ncte, I stated that I drove hurriedly,
and wouldn't I have been fixed if a
blow-out had occurred? This is said
to be the finest' hotel in the world and
it was built from what you and the
other folks have paid , forGrove's
chill tonic. "While in Asheville I met
Dr. W. L. Grantham, a former Robe
sonian, who ''showed me around the
town." "
v Leaving- Asheville I returned by
way of Marion, Hickory,' Statesvi'Je
and through Charlotto. -Now I. am
back on' the job feeling much more
like doing my daily tasks, - " v:- -.
