LAKE LURE
GREATLY IMPRESSES
NOTED LECTURER
Writes of Beauties of Resort
and Pays Tribute to Dr.
Morse
(By Anna D. Olesen, of Minneso
ta, noted lecturer and world travel
er, holding a prominent place in
"Who's Who in America," and first
woman candidate for United States
Senate, called by political leaders
"The Lady Astor of America.")
* * *
It has been my good fortune to
see many of the world's famous re
sorts built up for the pleasure and
recreation of care-worn humans. Hid
den away in the Blue Ridge moun
tains- of North Carolina is a resort
to delight the souls of beauty Cov
ers. One readies this resort over
perfectly constructed concrete roads
which wind their way upward to the
mountains. Lake Lure is the name
of the resort to which Uncle Sam
brings the mail. Chimney Rock looks
down from its proud and lofty ele
vation to beautiful Lake Lure which
sparkles and scintillates in the sun
light and seems to throw kisses at
the lofty and almost inaccessible
rock. One has mountain air and scen
ery and lake sports combined in thie
place. Streams of crystal purity
tumble over rocks hastening to join
the lake. Here one may see the three
famous Bottomless Pools, and hear
the mighty war of waters tumbling
down to mingle with the waters of
Lake Lure.
Hotels well appointed with all
modern conveniences welcome the
tourist and within walking distance
he may see the mountain people liv
ing as their ancestors have lived for
generations.
One is renewed in body and spirit
in the atmosphere of the mountain
air, perfumed with the odor of pine
trees and flowers.
But to appreciate Lake Lure and
Chimney Rock thoroughly, the tourist
must see and converse with Dr.
Morse, who over twenty years ago
came to dwell in the shadow of
Chimney Rock. As mountains tower
over valleys, some human souls seem
to rise to heights which the rest of
us can not attain. We can only sense
that we gaze into the eyes of one
who is of the world's great leaders.
Such a man is Dr. Morse, the one
who first visualized Chimney Rock
and its environs as a great resort.
Of the Morse family, one of whose
members pioneered in putting the
telegraph and cable at man's dis
posal, the good doctor shows in his
j every expression that he comes of
ancestry destined to lead into great
new fields of endeavor. I. went to
Chimney Rock, exclaimed over its
rugged and majestic beauty, thrilled
over the exquisite beauty pf Lake
Lure, and shall remember it al
ways.
But much as we love nature, as
human being we are proud of what
is human —we like to be reminded
once in a while of our human great
ness (we have so many evidences of
our human weakness.) And in Dr.
Morse we have a man whose presence
reminds us of man's high destiny.
Emerson iias written an essay on
the "Uses of Great Men." Well that
is one of the uses of great men to
remind us of our high destiny. Now
that Chimney Rock resort has been
made accessible to the world, by the
law of attraction there should flock
thither leaders in many lines of
thought, leaders in every line of
human endeavor. Because, like at
tracts like, and Dr. Morse will draw
around hjmself really great souls.
And Chimney Rock will become one
of the happy, cultural centers of our
country, the region will attract bea
ty lovers, and the noble and great
intellect of Dr.' Morse will attract
the great minds of this era in our
j country.
Lecturing from day to day, giving
of myself to audiences I oft-times
become weary. I went to Chimney
Rock, refreshed my soul by the beau
ties of the region and strengthened
