Pickens, Judge Pace, ex sheriff John Hampton of Polk and a Hustler man went to Zirconia church last Sunday. ' ; j " Result; two fine prohibition talks by the Colonel and the Jud ge and also a good dinner! ' The start was made soon in the morning, the Colonel and the newspaper man behind "Bruce," the Colonel's big powerful horse, the Judge, a man of weight, and the ex-sheriff pulled by a livery animal which promised at one time not to be able to finish the rough mountain trip. Througji Flat Rock and then you climb, higher and higher, the Blue Ridge standing like a green covered giants' fortress before you, along a road, cool, shady and fragrant with the odor of honeysuckle, the sight gladdened with wonderful masses of laurel, in white, in pink, and here and there a rare deep red. Cool and clear were the brooks which dashed across the road, or wandered along be side you, over rocks and! stones with a music which seemed but trying to rival the songs of the birds in. the trees, and which the mocking bird vainly tried to im itate. At last the summit of the Blue Ridge mountains is reached and from h ere a panorama of scenic beauty is unfolded which surely is unequaled anywhere Then down and down you go, taking advant age, if you please, of the very excellent new roads the chain gang has made, passing the con vict camp, where you see B. B. Souther, gun on hip, cigarette in mouth, keeping a vigilant eye on the conviets, whose chains, clank, clank, seem to but ill accord with the holy Sabbath calm of thej beautiful morning. " i You drive on and almost forget the convicts, when in a buggy, seated by a lady, you see Joe Rhodes, now serving a sentence for cutting Joe Bryson on that election day about a year ago. You wonder, mayhap, at the pri viliges accorded a convict but just then, coming in sight of the new factory of the Green River Manufacturing Co., you forget all about such things in admiration of the men who have caused so great a building to be erected here seemingly so far away from every where, surrounded only by the primitive forest and encircled by green-clad mountains. - You stop at a house next the company's store and learn that the great building before you is but one-fourth the size, it will ultimately be and you are interest ed in, learning too that when the mill is completed it will employ not less then 1500 hands. You stop and think: 1500 hands that means a town almost the size of Hendersonville. which has three banks and cement walks! ' You do some hard thinking and admire the promoters of this big scheme more then ever. You look around and see streets laid but comfortable cottages, ample erounds. It don't look much like a Spartanburg mill settlement; out here with these great pines and oaks and with one of God's finest pictures spread before you always. You notice Mr. J. O. Bell's handsome residence and next to it r a big fourteen-room house, just now occupied by only two lone men, Mr. Callahan and Dr. Smart, who complain some what of being crowded for room, poor men! You drive on aricTthe road, close overhung with trees and masses of laurel is still beaut iful. You see a dead rattler in the road, beautiful and repulsive. You bass a waeon loaded-with the everlasting chestnut wood one cord four dollars. The oxen have been taken out and yonder in that field of gold, are resting npacefullv on this Sabbath. Soon you come to Zirconia church. Many are already there.,, Soon more come in wagons'," in bug gies, on horseback. The building A WDffiON IT!

There was a big crowd, and my, what good things to eat! Miss Mamie Shipman has been the efficient teacher at this school. She was present of course, as were Mrs. W P.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY ENGINEER CARELESS. Mrs. J. A. Hatch and Miss Fox on Monday, had a .very narrow escape from instant death in its most horrible form. These two ladies, with Marga ret the daughter of Mrs. Hatch, were driving towards Naples Monday morning about eleven o'clock and were within less than ten feet of the Southern Railway crossing near that station when the local freight from Asheville came tearing across the road. The engineer failed to whistle for the crossing, the engine's bell was netxinging, and the ladies had absolutely no warning of the train's approach. That the three escaped a hor rible death is most marvellous. The horse was turned auickly. Miss Fox jumped from the buggy, and the horse and buggy,--with Mrs. Hatch and the little "girl went over a steep embankment By only the utmost good fortune they were uninjured except for a few bruises and a severe shak ing up. A doctor was summoned who attended to their needs, ahd the ladies are now none the worse for their terrifying experience and their narrow escape from being ground to Tmlp under the engine wheels. " While the engineer must have seen the accident .as they were within a few feet of the train i m mm . m ' " m wnen it passed oy, ne made no effort to discover the result of his negligence tK whistle for crossing. it is said that such narrow es- c,pes are Dy no means rare, as the engineers very often neglect to sound any warning of their approah to this and other cross ings.
