operating in Montgomery chiefly, but al
so in this county. He is here for the pur
pose of securing an interest in these miues,
which, with his experience and knowledge

Krone, of this count v. It is situated near
the Island Creek gold mine, in Montgom
ery, the right to which latter was contest

suit, runuing through a life time, was fi
nally decided in favor of the Nail repre
sentatives, and is now the property of
Mrs. Smith. She is the ueice of the dis
tinguished Presbyterian Evangelist so
well and favorablj- known in the Southern
States as a great revivailist ; and like her
venerable nncle, is a person of fine appear
ance, aud one of the best talkers I have
e-ver met. -
Mr. Biles, the proprietor of this place,
is oue of the really substantial men of the
county, and though iu his 7Dth year, is
yet a pretty vigorous man, retaining his
faculties in" a good degree. Blessed with
a good memory, he can entertain his
friends with stories and incidents of the
''long ago," by the hour. I had a seven
miles buggy ride with him last Saturday
morning, and though we traveled at a
rate tru'y merciful to the twenty -year-old
mule iu the harness, (which kind treat
ment has kept in excellent conditiou,)
time and weariness were lost in the cheer
ful conversation we had by the way.
While passiug under a dogwood tree on the
road-side, we frightened a big black snake
which was stretched across its lower limbs,
watching to spring on the first bird that
might fiy into the tree, aud he fell on the
mule's back, but quickly wriggled off, and
landed on the ground in time and position
to have both the fore and .hind wheels of
the buggy to cross his back. By purely
"good luck," I suppose, he was not dam
aged either by the fall or the wheels, but
slipped away into the bushes as though
nothing had happened. I said to the old
gentleman "if it had fallen across our
knees it would have made us jump!"
"Yes," aud he laughed at the thought, aud
went on to say: "I'm not afraid o. snakes,
but never took that foolish pride in hand
ling them that I have seen some meu take;
nor have I ever approved of the habit of
that mischievous disposition sometimes
met with among young people of searing
others by throwing dead suakes at or
near them when they are not expecting
such a thing. It is dangerous to produce
such frights as thoughtless people some
times make in that way." And he then
related the story of a lad in his neighbor
hood when he was young, who was sent
out into a pasture to bridle and bring in
a horse that -was feeding in the field. The
lad went off with his arm through the
headstall of the bri-lle aud the reins held
up in his hand. And while walking
through the rank weeds, being nervously
afraid of snakes, something frightened
him and made him jump, and thinking it
was a snake, looked back and saw a "ra-
cer.
as he thought,
at his heels. He
broke aud ran with all hU might, yelling
at every jump, "so-ho ! daddy! so-bo !
daddy!" and never stopped until he fell
into the door of daddy's house, in a f.iiat
ingconditon. It was ascertained at once
that there was no sijake in the case, but
the black reins of tl:t bridlu trailing be
hind him, a glimpse of which he often saw
as ho made his dreadful race, was the
only foundation for his big scare.
Nakuows, Montgomery Couvrr,
May 2d, 1878.
1 nereis a perceptible improvement in
the agricultural interests in that part .of
Stanly embracing the valley of the Yad
kin, the results of which are manifested in
the improvement of residences and farms
and farm houses. But the most gratify
iug evidence of progress in the neighbor-
noon ot the .Narrows, is the establish
ment pf a classical school, affording, edu
eatioiinl advantages unknown in this place
heittojoiD, The location is od a hHi
dry ridge, about oue mile from the Nar
rows, and near a valuable mineral snrin"
The neighborhood is thickly settled by an
intelligent and thriving people who take
a very lively interest in the school, and
through whode efforts in its behalf, it is
attracting pupils from this aud adjoining
counties. 1 he country is. very healthy,
auu ooaru and tuition low. The present
proprietors of the school, Messrs. (J. C, and
"i1 Haiuilton brothers, are graduates
of Trinity College, and their success as
teachers for the last two j ears is the best
evidence of their 'qualifications for the re
sponsible duties they are discharging. The
annual examination takes place on Tues
day, to be followed by more publio exer
;n. tw nxt day, of which I may have
Kometmng to say hereafter.
There js a large quantity of unfilled
mus oi excellent quality on the
east side of the river near this place. It
is hilly and rocky, but the soil seems to
oe inexhaustible. Fields which have been
cultivated for a hundred years, still yield
abundaut crops of corn, wheat, cotton, to
bacco, &e. All the various fruits, large
and small, flourish to perfection. I be
lieve there is no better sheep range in the

acres of laud, and ou it all not exceed

I was surmised to Inrn fmm mv fi-iu1
and guide, Mr. Job u P. Cotton, that Luke
Black mer, Esq., of Salisbury, is the fortu
nate owner of two or three thousand acres
of this territory fortunate, because if he
will let it alone it will never trouble him,
and because no oue can, if he would, tres
pass on it for anything except the wild
deer which feed upon its mosses with a
degree of security now rarely to be en
joyed by them elsewhere withiu the State.
Other animals also enjoy freedom here
the wild cat and catamount, the fox aud
coon, while old molly hare" has nothing
to fear from man and but little from curs
of low degree. It would make a valuable
sheep range, for though in the main
the soil is thin, it is covered with glasses
and under-growth on which they could
feed nearly the whole year round,
and the rocky cliffs and steep hill-sides
would afford them fine shelter from the
keenest wintry winds and bitterest east
ern storms.
In the midst of this wilderness is the
grave of a woman. This lonely spot of
sepulcheris known as "Beck's grave;
and the history of it is brief. She was a
slave woman, the property of his worship
ful John CrarapwlK lived and died ou
the estate novr held by Mr. J. F. Cot
ton, and whose remains, with those of his
wife, were buried ou the hill whereon his
late residence formerly stood. It was
more than sixty years ago when Beck
with a jovial company went through this
wilderness to the "Falls" to spend Easter
with the people who were wont iu those
times to assemble there iu great numbers
to catch fish, eat ginger cakes, drink cider
ryal, and spend the day in pleasure-seeking.
Easter was then an annual re-union
of the people for miles around a hap
py day for all classes iu which the
slaves were allowed to share. Tradition
hath it that Beck was very happy on that
fatal day, and took rather more drink
than she could safely carry home. She
lingered behind her company in the even
ing returning, and fell in this wilderness,
under what precise circumstances could
never be ascertained, though conjecture
connected her death with the free indul
gences of the day. When found the con
dition of her body rendered it necessary
to make the burial without delay, and
with little ceremony, near the spot ou
which she lay. The pines above her grave
yet sing iu every breezy a moaning an
them, subdued but grand and solemn.
Few have a more undisturbed resting
place, or a wilder domain to wander i:; if
spirits may return' to earth.
Near Beck's grave is a mound of stones,
now only about five feet high ami twenty
eight feet in diameter, supposed t have
been thrown up by the -aboriginal inhabi
tants of the country. It lias nevijr been
thoroughly examined, but it is (hot im
probable it covers the remains of some
indian brave or chief. A white oak tree
growing on its summit has sent down its
roots among the stones, may be to feed
on royal dust beneath. The tree is now
nearly two feet iu diameter and shows no
signs of decay, though it must bo from
150 to 00 years since it sprang from the
acorn,
The south-southwest bend of tho river
forming the boundaries of this wilderness
is the point at which the "Falls" are to be
fouud. The land on the inner side breaks
off abruptly, showing n rocky cliff vary
ing from 20 to 100 feet in perpendicular
height. Indeed, the waters of the river
seem to have cut uuav the earth and
stones, scattering the debris along the
shore below. Iu several places these cliffs
hang suspended over the head of the pe
destrian near the water's edge, with such
an apparent slender hold that person of
weak nerves instinctively spring from tin.
der the immense blue flint stones, which
look as if they must fall in a moment.
Both here and at the Narrows, 2$ miles
above, are iudnbi table evidences of a long
aqd relent less war between the waters of
the river and the rocky ridges of the land.
How long the ceaseless din and roar of
conflict has gone on can uevor be know u.
ihe slick, water-worn stones, honey
combed by whirling pebbles, and abraded
by falling and rubbing against each other,
betray the violence of the waters. These
evidences lie around by the million. W'e
arc on them at every step; tho foot ean-
not avoid them j njaiiy of them are won
derfully fantastic and surprisingly beau-
i! if i . .
urui, varying m sujo from tho irinin of
sand to bowldors and bjticks vf a thou,
sand tons.
The river here is much wider than at
the Narrows: Tho "Falls" are a suc
cession of rocky ridges stretching across
the river, mostly under water, but in
places standing above it. Here and there
are breaks in these ridges through which
deep sluciesof water are rushiu-r, and
over these siucies the fishermau stands
with his dip-net dipping, dinning to
catch the fi.hes which fl t f lit". tt MflGO
' -------w fW UOO
through them.
The water scenery here is nothiu" to
eompare to the Narrows where the whole
volume of the river, more than 1200 feet
wjde above, is driven with fury through a
space of only (jo feet. The Narrows are
nearly half a mile long, varviusr in this
distanpe froin (JO to 100 feet in width, and
though there nothing like a cataract the
waters rush through with a force almost
equal to o;;e.
Bnt no description of the scenerv either
at the Fajls or the Narrows can convey an
adequate .idea pf it. It must be seen
to be appreciated, The geologist will find
these places abounding with interesting
subjects of inqnjry and thought. It would
seem that the prpgent course of the river
is not the original one, but that these
rocky barriers at one time checked and
turned it ;n spme other route ; and that
its passage here U due to some accidental
cause- some great freshet or succession of
freihetsT which tore a way between these
rocky hill, the ips of which are little
less than 500 feel above the bed of the
it rer. The Stale geologist, if he has nev
er visited ilia portion of the State, might
confer valaalrio benefits ou the people
by an inspection of. the country with re
ference to agricultural and mineral devel
opments ; and taking in the Narrows and
Falls as a diversion or a study, find them
entertaining or profitable. The mineral
character of this neighborhood has long
been known to some extent, but it is be
lieved much yet remains undiscovered.
