The damage to seacoast railroads
ha. been immense. Summer re

heavly, bath houses pavillions,
beach walks and drives b-ing quite
generally demolished and swept
out to sea by the waves. Several
large hotels also suffered from the

coast, from Cane llattaras
north wanl, with pitiable frequency,
and tales of deeds of bravery ami
endurance by mariners and mem
lers of our brave Life Saving crews
are coming in. Altogether, it was a
storm that will long be remembered.
During the time that this terrible
storm was raging, we denizens of
the mountains were enjoving the
lln0st deliihtftd weather, britrht.
that so terrific a storm should have
passed so close to us and not affect
us.
A few days ago, an Indian nam
ed George Giving stopped at a
farmhouse near Sevierville, Tenn.
and offered to sell the horse he was
riding for thirtv dollars. The
farmer offered twenty five and a
compromise was effected at twenty
five dollars and a night's lodging.
Officer William Parton of Sevier
ville learning these facts and think
ing the price grossly inadequate,
decided to place the Indian under
arrest. He did so and in a few
lays learned that his suspicions
were correct. The horse was the
property of II. J. Beck, from whom
it bail been stolen. J. II. Beck
went after the offender and return
ed with him,passing through here
with the prisoner strongly bound,
Monday afternoon. He was taken
to Webster as the offense was com
mitted in that county. Mr. Parton
is to be complimented for his sagac
ity and the people of Sevier county
are fortunate in having so efficient
an officer. It is rumored that Go
ing has a bad - record. It is even
said that he is wanted in the Indi
an Territory for murder, lie is a
Cherokee, but whether a native, of
the territory or of this section, we
'are unable to state.
We took a buggy ride Iehind a
gootl steady joing old mule, last
Sunday, for the sake of seeing the
mountains from Shuler Gap, three
miles south of town. The road is
a very good one and the view is
well worth the trouble of the trip.
The farm lying on the north side
of the Gap belong to A. Jones
and among its other attractions,
has a peach orchard. It wiw in
this -orchard, when we first visited
the state, a year ago this month,
that we were made fully aware of
the great possibilities of this region
for fruit raising. A second visit
tends to strengthen the imprssion.
Wc noted one limb which wm
lent to theground from its weight
of fruit and estimated that two or
three bushels of fruit could have
leen picked from n witnout
climbing or even moving. Other
tree were as heavily loaded. No
attempt is made to market the
fruit, but a great many go there
and pick and carry away what
they can carry. For these, the
tenant on the " place - asks thirty
ccnts a bushel. Wagon loads of
the fruit is wasted. This orchard,
like almost all of the orchards in
this vacinity, recicves no attention.
What it produces, is brought forth
spontaneously but suggests what

Letter from Bill Hamlttaa.
Welch, Sept. lGth.
Dear Sir: It has lecn some time
rince I wrote you the Fayings and
doings of this quarter of the land.
Your Bushncll correspondent, E.
C. MM says, "Go ahead William ',
and youcan lct your lottom lol
lar I will and I am going to bo a
little more plain than I have been
in the past.
Times arc good here. Farmers
are busy saving their fodder and
fixing to sow wheat except a few
who arc engaged in the interests of
that grand lodge called "the farm
ers alliance". The alliance is a
good thing, bnt too much of a goxl
thing is liable to spoil everything.
Yes, we have two alliance stores
in Welch. They have, I supiose,
obligated themselves to sell at 15
per cent and they loth get the
enormous trade of from $2.00 to
$3.00 per day, and they have to
board themselves. Its like the
joke I have heard, "Hard on the
pig but its tha making of the dog'
The Racket fctore is still running,
and we wish to notify the public
that we will still lead in "low pric
es.'' But I clone thh letter with
the best of feelins for all in the
uhftrrtwuke.lthe eye while it docs not discourage the
greater interest m the subject 9 -
raising crass and stock. There is
not a better country in the world
than thia for that business. When
it i rightly gone into, wc hall all
handle more or less money. Then
ajid not till then, thia grand sec
tion of North Carolina will be full i
of life and pnsneritv. Let us hear!
from you tnrough the columns of
the Herald, on the subject.
Respectfully,
Bill Hamilton.
