PAGE lEflBTHB- PINEHURST OUTLOOK1IPjiS " I Many friends of Mr. Stone-Smith will be pained to hear of his recent death. tta nwned considerable land here and had planned to return to his cottage this season. He leaves a widow and daughter who will probably spend the winter here with relatives and friends. Camden Plans Buij, aion. Camden, S. C, December 3 This re sort is looking forward to the best season in historv. and improvements of the summer have been along the lines of en larged equipment to care for the increas ing number of friends. Conspicuous among the work has been improvement of the golf course and care of the Polo Field. Golf Professional William H. Wilson returns, and various tournament events are being arranged. Polo enthusi asts are already warming up preliminary to the match with the Orlando team. Activity in the cottage colony is marked and its members are gathering early. Among the most recent additions is a beautiful home for Mr. F. F. Nicola of Pittsburg, who has been at The Kirk wood for several years past, and which rests upon the Major Canty property and will be ready for occupancy soon. Mr. William II. Schiller, also of Pitts burg, who with his family spent last winter at The Kirkwpod, is building a home of the Colonial type on the Beard property, located near the Country Club golf links, and will bring with him a stable which will be among the finest in Camden. Mrs. Schiller, a charming woman with delightful personality, will entertain a great deal. Mr. Charles Potter of Boston, who spent several years at the Hobkirk Jnn, has purchased from Mr. Eldridge an acre on which he is erecting a cottage. Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Kerr of Pittsburg, will again occupy their cottage at The Kirkwood. Many of the old guests will return to The Kirkwood, among them Mrs. B. I. Ward and son, of Passiac, N. J. ; Mrs. W. II. McClure of Albany; Mrs. William H. McGuire of New York; Mr. and Mrs. William Payne Thompson of New York : Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Hampton of New York; Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Lober of Phil adelphia, Pa.; Mr. Y II. Brown of Maine. Mr. Brown is a naturalist, and his collection of birds of South Carolina is much sought after by museums and colleges. T. Edmund Krumbiiolz. Asheville and its mountains. Asheville, N. C, December 2 The mountains always have a strange fascin ation for people who spend most of their time in the city, but probably nowhere in the country are there more attractions added to grand and wonderful natural beauties than at .Asheville, the Capital city of "The Lajud of the Sky." There are mountains on every side, mountains of every form and height, mountain scenes of every kind. As one stands upon the crest of the Elks, the intermediate range of foot-hills between Asheville and the higher moun tains, he seems to have spread out before him, for his selection, the attractions of the whole country. He has the choice between the comforts, conveniences and luxuries which the hand of man has pro vided in Asheville. and. on the other side, "the call of the wild" from the un exDlored. mountains. On the one hand he sees the cultivated and well kept slopes, showing the industry of the gardener and the fruit grower, and, on the other, the wild and rugged mountain peaks and ravines of the distant Crag gies, where the wild deer and bear still find shelter in the dense balsam forests and laurel thickets. Fortunately, however, the Elk moun tain choice is not irrevocable, but after electing to cast his lines among the com fortable hotels or cottages of the city, with the attendant advantages of churches, schools, theatres, clubs and shops, the visitor can still ride or drive out into the wilds and spend enjoyable days mid scenes where man is an infre quent visitor. Horseback riding is a leading pastime here, and the mountain trails are more numerous and extensive than in other mountain sections. Golf is also in great favor on the Swannanoa Country Club's links, these links being almost ideal from the standpoint of grounds and surround ings. The thousands of visitors who come yearly to Asheville bring their different ideas with them, as is shown in every line, but most noticeably in the varied hotel accommodations offered to the dif ferent tastes of the tourists. Many visi tors who have spent a season at The Manor, or in one of its surrounding cot tages, think that it has an air of comfort and refinement which is not often found outside of home life. Others remember Asheville most favorably through recol lections of some pleasant friendships formed among visitors from a different section; some recall the delightful cli mate, some the scenery, but all carry away some pleasant remembrance of this glorious mountain country. Close at hand is Biltmore and a part of Asheville, with its splendid hotel, Kenil worth Inn. f f ' Old Point and Viclnitr. old Point Comfort, Va., December 3 Old Point Comfort and the resorts of the immediate vicinity, Virginia Beach and Pine Beach are entertaining many visitors who have been, thus early, at tracted by the Jamestown exposition grounds, in addition to the usual early season guests. Sportsmen are making the most of duck, turkey and quail shooting, the beach rides and drives are being enjoyed and sailing and fishing trips are as pop ular as ever. In addition there is the social side of the section, one of its strong attractions, and the bracing sea air and the excellent sea food. The Chamberlin at Old Point is again under the management of George F. Adams, and the Pine Beach Hotel at Pine Beach continues under William C.Royer's direction, but the Princess Anne at Vir ginia Beach, passes into new hands. The Chamberlin and Princess Anne are now open, but extensive alterations and improvements will keep the Pine Beach closed until the first of the year. PIIJEHUEBT, 17. 0.
