Last week wa.s spent by the
\vi’it('r in upper South Ciirohna,
and conversations with all sorts
of i)eo))lu has convinced us that
the time is ripe for securin«r a
line of ti-ansportatioii for this no
ted mountain resort. South Car
olina has other mountain attrac
tions—tiie Pinnacle. Table Rock
and several falls- but they ai'e
all contiguous to Ciesar's Head
and are easily reached fi'oni there
by daily walks and drives. None
of them are so well known and
none have hotels for theaccoin-
modation of visitors. There has
never been but one obstacle to
[U'evtnit Ciesar's Head from be
ing- the most [>opular and best
patronized resort in the A})pa
lachian chain, and that is th?
question of transport.ation. lire
vard, its nearest railroad station,
is 17 miles distant over a rou<rlj
C
mountain road.
Ca'sai’’sHead hotel and ^rounds
is the pro])crty of Furman Uni
versity of Greenville, and that
noted educational institution is a
creature of the Baptist church of
the state. As wo look at the
proposition it would be an ea.S}^
matter for the uni versity to raise
the necessary funds to build a
trolley road to Caesar's Head by
an a])peal to the Baptists. Tiiere
are also other interests that
would be conserved by the road
that would certainly j^ive assist
ance.
And then there ai'e other inter
ests on this side of the mountains
ihat wo believe would bring the
I'oad on to Brevard. Such ;i road
would op?n a wealth of chestnut
wood to the Brevard Tannin
plant which at ]u*esent has no
value because of the distance and
bad roads to market. We have
unlimited water pow’ers that are
running to waste, and the most
reliable help to be found any-
wiiere. Cotton mills and furni
ture factories would soon be
feeders for such a road, and the
future growth and development
of tliis county w’ould am[)ly i-e-
pay Brevard for joining and
making it a through line.
We believe that such a road, in
addition to developing the Uni
versity’s property at Caesar’s
Head, would be a paying invest
ment from the starting of tlie
first car. Thousands of South
Carolinians who have never seen
their mountain attractions would
come to see, and would remain to
enjoy the ozone of our climate and
the crystal springs of pure,
sparkling water. A 500 room
hotel at Caesar’s Head could be
kept tilled every summer with
people who now spend their out
ings at other places because their
own mountain resorts are inac
cessible. The supplies for any
addition to the native population
would come almost entirely from
(^r(?en ville. and its merchants
would bo proportionately bene-
fitted.
I
I In making these suggestions
, the Sylvan Valley N<nvs has no
interests to serve. It has no
; hope of reward and is not work
ling in t!ie interest of anyone man
) or set of men. It believes in the
! development of this mountain
I section for the health and happi
ness of all. and we should be
pleased if the peo})le of South
Carolina would see it as we do
land make a heroic effort to link
I the cotton fields with the water
j powers and health resorts of our
j mountains. We believe that
Greenville is now ready for a
move in this direction and we
should like to point a mode of op
erations and then meet her at
Caesar's Head.
* -X:
Mr. .1. J. Miner, editor and ])ro-
[)rietor of the Sylvan Valley
News, published at Brevard, N.
C., stpent a day or two in Green
ville this week. ]\fr. Miner paid
the Mountaineer otfice a pleasant
call. He has been in the news-
piiper business many years and
has done much towards thede-
velo]Hn('nt of his section of the
slate. Mr. Miner is enthusias
tically advocating the building of
a trolley line, connecting Brevard
with Greenville. His people are
thoroughly aroused on the sub
ject and ar<* anxious to do their
part towards its erection. Mr.
Miner says that the })eople of his
county Vx'ould be glad to come to
Greenville 'foi- a great deal of
their trading, if the journey were
not so difiicult. They are look
ing for a southern terminus for a
first class trolley line and have
centered on Greenville as the
lilace. Such a line would be a
great benefit to the up|)er section
of Greenville county and would
open up a good trade with a large'
section of North Carolina, bord
ering on this [)art of the state.
Will the line be built':'—Greenville

(’an you think of a gilt more cer

subscription to The Youth's ('ompan-
ioii? i.s there niiy one, youii" or old,
who, having once had the paper in
liis hands and looked throu;;li it, did
not wish to pos.«e.ss it lor Jii.s very
own? It is a gif't which, far troin
losing its IVeshness as Christmas re
cedes into the past, .i?rou\s nioro de
lightful, more necessary to one s en
joyment week by week.
The boy lik(*s it, for it reflects in
its pages every boyish taste and ev
ery fine boyish aspiration. The fath
er likes it, not only for its fiction but
for its fund f>f information of tlie
practical sort. The jjirl likes it for
the stories, anecdotes, sketches and
editorial articles printed iu each num
ber especially for her. The mother
likes if for its stories of domestic h'fe
and family allection, for its chil
dren’s paj^eand for its medical article.
On receipt of !?1.7o, the yearly sub
scription price, the publishers send
to the new subscriber all the remain
ing issues of The Youth’s Companion
for 1005 and the “Minutenien” Cal

the new volume for lOCG will be sent

It is sometimes good business
to g(‘t in debt, and we believe the
debt of si’."),000 made by Brevard
is a good investment. Our chil
dren will not have to carry w;itei‘
as th('ir parcMits have done, tlu\v
will have the use of better side-
wjilU's and streets than their ])a-
rents have iiad, their })ropei'ty
will be vastly more valuable than
it now is and it is onlj^iust that
they shall help to pay for their
advantages.
The consummation of the bond
sale last week opens a new chaj)-
ter in our history. The water-
v.’orks and sewerage will be pur
chased and extended, sidewalks
will be built on many streets,
new streets will be opened, in
dustry will take tiie place of idle-
noss. everybody who will w’ork
can find (Mnplt)yment at good
wage's, and visitors who come to
see us iK'xt su in mer will find us
at work, progressive ;ind ha})py.
And there is little doubt but
the inertia which the s[)endingof
this sum will give, will attract oth-
(*r capital to make investments
here, so that building operations
and im})rovements will not Cf.*ase
when our m(.n<\v is exliausted.
