Dr. Horton Makes a Hit With
Free Cigars-Smoked
Some Himself
Llnville Falls, Aug. 23. If any
one wants to know what kind of
cigars are popular in the counties of
Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga lie
has only to ask Dr. M. C. Horton
and he will get the information right
away. We dropped one day into a
store at a little hamlet, and the
doctor, who loves dearly to sraoko,
asked for a cigar. . The man put on:
a box and the doctor asked the price.
The man said they were very good
cigars, and were "three for five."
When asked if he had something bel
ter he fished out another box and
with a great deal of pride said this
was a great cigar, and its price was
"two for five." The next day was
Sunday and the doctor laid in a su)
py of the "three for five" for that
day's smoking and also indulged in
some of the "two for five" for Sun
day, keeping them in separate pock
ets. He met a group of mountain
men and handed out the cigars, ev
erybody taking one, and no doubt he
was looked upon as along In the
Rockefeller and Carnegie class. That
afternoon he was observed to be
walking in a very gay fashion along
a mighty fine road and pulling away
at a cigar, which was cocked at quite
a high angle, and the writer com
mented upon the exquisite smell o'
the smoke, when lo and behold! the
doctor found he was smoking one
of those costly Sunday cigars. He
put it out and took one of the other
sort, which proves how easily one
gets used to the "three for five"
class. It was a delight to see one
of the men, quite an old fellow, fire
up and begin to smoke one of the
doctor's cigars. He pulled away
on it. making a sound almost exact
ly like an automobile, but he got
all there was in it. No one could
tell what was in the cigars, but
the "three for five" class was named
by the writer as "Little Skunk,"
with apologies to that fragrant little
animal.. In the cities we get the
"Pride of the Sewer" cigar, the "El
Manuro," the "Stinkadora," and
other luscious brands, but we have
nothing on those mountain cigars.
Sometimes the doctor left a trail
along the highway which made one
think an automobile had Just pass
ed. The people in the mountain coun
try are given to matrimony. Good
looking young women are the rule
and r,-t the exception, and they ere
not the scrawny kind either, for a
hundred pound weight has to be al
ways be set against them on the
scales and a good many pounds more
put on besides. They are not at all
like Kipling's "vampire" girl, "a rag,
a bone and a hank' of hair," but the
real thing. At one point, where the
new county Avery joins Burke and
McDowell, there stands, only a few
yards from the highway, a very
handsome white oak, and around
this there is worn a ring in the
earth, like one of those you see In
a circus, where the horses go round
and round, for this one was made in
Just the same way. Hard-by this
spot live a preacher and a magis
trate, and both of them keep their
eyes on this tree, which is well
known in all three counties, and in
Mitchell too, as the "marrying tree."
Whenever the preacher or the squire
sees a man and woman heading for
that tree, particularly if they are
on horse back and riding fast, no
time is lost in getting to the spot,
for the first man on hand gets the
Job of splicing the couple and the re
sultant funds, a dollar being the
usual thing. So there the lovers sit,
on horseback, Join bands and look
maybe to see if the girl's father Is
on the trail, and in a Jiffy the, knot
Is tied and away they go. Hundreds
of people have been married at that
spot. A fence is along the road, an
old-fashioned rail fence too, but the
"bars" are easily let down and very
near the, tree so that access to it is
ready.
Along the roadways there were
most often the flitting and restless
snowbirds, who like so many tour
ists now-a-days spend their summers
in the mountains. Sometimes a chip
munk, with gay stripes, scurried
across the road and once a partridge.
Not infrequently the little brown
squirrel, peculiar to the high moun
tain region and known as the
"boomer," chattered at us, hopping
about in the spruces. This little
squirrel Is so called on account of
a noise is makes. It can flatten it
self on a limb until it is nearly as
thin as a "post card" and Bmiles at
rifle bullets, unless an artist Is hold
ing the gun.
We had a real Joy looking at the
streams. To people used to the mud
dy rivers which disfigure so much of
the middle country it is always
Joy to look at one of thoBe mountain
streams, as clear as our springs, and
rushing as if they were in a hurry
to get somewhere, and to do all
sorts of stunts. We saw fifty for
which Raleigh and scores of other
cities would give any amount of
money. The swinging bridges across
the largest streams, artistically built
are always delightful, and they are
a feature in many sections. -
Artists are beginning to get rather
.numerous in the mountains, and
mention has already been made of
Elliott Dalngerfleld and his host of
young women, who were at Blowing
Rock and who were met on the
Tonahlossee road and on the Grand
father mountain, bnt as we were
tramping Into Llnville Fails we pass
ed very beautiful bungalow, of logs,
and presently the artist owner, in
picturesque attire, and in his hand
a "Tarn o' Shanter," came riding
along in a big farm wagon, a lot of
girl pupils being with him. Very
near the point where we saw him we
met a sled in the road, on which
chesnut fence rails were being haul
ed. These sleds are used in all the
mountain regions, because they can
go where wheeled vehicles cannot.
Sometimes they are drawn by steers,
or what we call "bull yearlings,"
sometimes by horses or mules, and
they go Into the wildest kinds of
trails, where things hauled have to
be lashed on them. We met one of
the queerest vehicles Imaginable,
this being a tiny wagon, all home
made, with wheels which were sec
tion of a log, sawed out. This was
loaded with peaches, which sold for
ten cents a bushel. This wagon war
drawn by a stout oxen, which was
led by a man, while behind the ve
hicle walked another, who held his
hand on a leather strap, the other
end of which was fastened to the
rear end of the wagon. His busi
ness was to pull back on this when
the rig went down a steep hill, so
that it would not run upon the hind
leg of the ox. In some respects thiF
was the funniest thing we saw Is
all tl'.e long tramp.
Mention has been made of the
cheapness of living in that wonder
ful mountain region, and we tourists
found It cheaper than at home. At
one place where several very good
looking young lady teachers put in
the summer work, we found that
they got fine board and lodging for
$8 per month, and that is about th
usual figure at the country houses.
This place where they boarded was
about thirty miles from any railway
and in one of the most retired spots
imaginable, but "thei honey, the but
ter, the bread and milk they got
there was worth that money and a
lot more. .
There Is a confusion in names.
for we have tramped through Lln
ville City, which 1b not a city at all
but merely a beautiful, swell and
costly resort; here is Linville Falls.
a little h.-jmlet with a couple of
boarding houses, two stores and half
a dozen dwellings, high up and
perched on the edge of Avery and
Burke counties, with plenty of other
counties in sight. Then, at the foot
of the mountain, seven miles away,
Is Llnville Falls station, on the Can
olina. Clinchfteld & Ohio railway. To
tell the truth Llnville Falls, on that
wonderfuly beautiful river, the only
stream which breaks through the
Blue Ridge, Is the finest water-fall
in North Carolina; not only In it
self but in the grandeur of its set
ting. In a snowy little cottage
perched above the falls, lives Mr
Frank Bicknell, who has charge of
many thousand acres of forest there,
some 18,000 in fact, and through this
property runs the Linville in Its mad
course below the falls, through the
finest gorge and canyon in the state
The river falls 2,000 feet in ten
miles. The finest mountain view is
that from what is known as Wise
man's Bluff, five miles from Linville
Falls, on the edge of this canyon
It is 1,000 feet to the stream, al
most straight down, and there in
front bf you are the Little Bear,
Hawksbill, Table Rock and the
Palace of the Gods, the latter a won
derful creation, looking as if giants
had built it, for the. masses of stone
are bigger than the largest house in
the world. In this Linville river is
the neBt t'out fishing in all the
south. From Wiseman's Bluff one
can see into South Carolina, Ten
nessee and Virginia, and due north
there is in; view the now abandoned
Cloudland Hotel, on top of Roan
mountain, over 6,000 feet above sea
level. We ate huckleberries and
blackberries, looked for rattle
snakes, found none, and saw aston
Ishly fine scenery until our minds
were made up that no place In the
mountains can beat Linville Falls.
That night we went to a dance in
the little hamlet, a disused store be
ing used for this festivity, each
"set," as it was termed, lasting one
hour. Those mountain girls and
boys certainly can dance and the
stejis they too were worth while. A
"banjo picker" made all the music
and with patting foot and nimble
fingers kept things on the move.
When the writer asked him how in
the world could he play for an hour
without stopping he replied "This
ain't nothing; I could pick all day
and all night." The dance began
at 9 o'clock and ended at midnight,
and without catching their brealth
those young women and men danced
those hour sets, three of them, with
mighty little pause between.
On the way to Llnville Falls we
had mot a fake doctor, who makes a
pretense of curing any and all dis
ease. The longest time he allowed
himself for doing this was six weeks;
generally it was a week or ten days.
The miracle-worker must do a thriv
ing business, and of course be lives
upon the belief so many people have
In quacks. For this wonder-worker
a permanent cure for Indigestion is
only a matter of a week. At Lln
ville Falls, as we lay basking in the
sunshine, after dinner, in the yard,
there suddenly came up the prince
of all lunatics, who announced with
out catching his breath that he bad
just bought Linvlle Falls and was
going to use it to develop water
power on a vast scale. He said he
had made the purchase from the
North State Power Company, and
that om the first day of October he
would deliver power to Charlotte, N.
C, Spartanburg, S. C, and Johnson
City, Tenn. In less than twenty-four
hours we found that keepers of the
lunatic asylum as well as the sheriffs
of two counties were on the lookout
for this man, who had disappeared
as quickly as he appeared.

Neighborhood Quarrel Results in
Fight, Two Being AVoundcd.
(Special to The Times.)
Kinston, Sept. 14. As the result
of a roadside duel on the Grifton
turnpike at night, Ben Faulkner was
painfully, though not fatally shot,
his son Guy slightly wounded, and
Doc Wallace and his son, Ed., arrest
ed for the shooting. The elder
Faulkner is said to bo on the road
to recovery, while the boy's wounds
were insignificant. At a hearing for
bond both Wallaces were released on
$1,000 bail by a justice. The affair!
was the result of bad feeling of long
standing. The Wallaces and the
Falkners are neighbors, and live
three or four miles fronx here. The
Fa llkners and Doc Wallace were
going home at the same time, and
Ben Faulkner railed at Wallace con
tinually during the trip. It is said
that Faulkner was drinking. Wallace
turned into his yard, and the elder
Faulkner called him out from the
house, wit the threat to have it out
with htm then and there. Wallace
came out, bringing a gun, and fol
lowed by his son, Ed. From the
buggy in which he was riding, Ben
Faulkner opened fire with a revol
ver, and this was returned by Wal
lace with ihe shotgun. A fusilade
followed and Faulkner received a
charge of shot In his head and neck,
and tjo horse which he was driving
was hit in tho head, while the bad?
of te vehicle was filled with lead.
Young Falkner was struck by scat
tering shot In the back. His father
not firing fast enough to suit him,
Ed Wallace took the gun from the
old man's hand and continued the
hostilities himself. Neither were
hurt.
