forty-five hundred feet, anb commands decidedly the
best view of the most gorgeous scenery

nificent panorama, spreading out on either side, and
in the wide valley below silver streams can be traced
lor miles. From the hotel observatory the distant
towns of Lenoir, Morgafiton and Hickory are easily*
visible, and the cloud effects, particularly at sunrise
and sunset, are grand beyond description. By virtue
of its large, airy rooms, modern conveniences, excel

the mountain. The hotel has over a
thousand feet of verandas, and electric Spacious

bridle paths are all that the heart of a lover of na
ture could possibly wish. Hay fever is unknown in
this climate.

Brookford Celebrates.
Others may have more elabor
ite celebrations of the Fourth,
out for entering into the occa
iion in a whole hearted manner
few will surpass the celebration
which was held at BrooKford on
Saturday, June 29, 1907. The
immediate occasion for this cele
bration was raising a flag which
aad been resented to the village
by Mr. C, A. Braman, of New
Fork. Proceeding the flag-rais
ing the crowd gathered at the
base-ball grounds and engaged
In various contests, such a crack
er eating, a mock base-ball game
and so on. Promptly at six
/clock the large audience gath
ered in front of "the company
store building where the cere
mony of raising the flag took
place. Mr. H. J. Holbrook in a
neat speech presented the flag
in behalf of Mr. Braman to
whom he refered as "a gentle
man intensely interested in not
only the internal workings of the
mills at Brookford, but in everv
-thing which makeo for the mate
rial, social and religious interests
of every man, woman and child
who lives .at Brookford." The
flag was accepted in behalf of
the citizens of Brookford by
Mayor J. H. Ballew who spoke
words very appropriate. As the
flag was drawn up the people
sang the Star Spangled Banner
and as it reached the top of the
flag pole which is one hundred
feet high, three cheers for the
"Red White and Blue" were
given. Dr. Murphy made a
short address in which he re
fered to the beautiful spirit which
existed at' Brookford between
thp employers and the employ
ees. It was a great occasion for
Brookford and all entered most
heartily into the spirit of it Mr.
W. H. Shuford as chief marshall
with competent assistants had
everything well in hand.
The remainder of the eveniilg
was spent in Recreation JHall
where ice cream was served and
entertainment of various kinds
was given.

Good Manners.
The Supreme Court of New
York has confirmed the decision v
>f a a lower court vhich may be
l interest outside the great state
Of New York. It wa. the award
ing of damages of $750 to a pas
senger on an elevated railroad
cor rude alleiged to have been
received treatment at the hands
>f a guard on the road. Tne court
teld that this applies not only
physicial treatment, but to vo
ial treament. That is to say pas
sengers on a trrin are entitled to
remade as comfortable aa possi
ble. That an official or eirplo. t; on
has no right to speak to pa&jen
n any othet than terms of polite
less. It is well that the public
conscience is being aroused up
on this subject. Conduetiors
enter a car and clemand the tick
ets in a tone calculated to set the
ierve3 of a senstive woman ting
ling. The traveling public are
entitle to better treatment than
a car load of cattle. The writer
remembers a conductor now run
ning a train in North Carolina
who told him to stay in his own
ear when he had simply crossed
over to get a drink of water,
tnere being no water in the car
m which he was traveling. But
this is an an exception. Most of
the conductors in* this section
of the country are gentlemenly
gentlemen. This~ can bei
said in marked degree
of the men who handle the C. &
N. W. trains. That road mey .be
poor in financial resources, but
rich in the good manners of the
men who handle the trains.
