C, now must pay a quarter to see the rock from which the Watauga resort takes its name. No longer can they view for nothing the inspiring panorama which unfolds before one standing upon that vantage point. Concessionaries have built a board fence along the ridge near the rock, we learn from the Charlotte News, which laments this encroachment upon nature's handiwofk in an editorial declaring that such beauty spots should belong to the people Now one must surrender a twenty-five cent piece for the privilege of standing upon the precipice and tossing a handkerchief into the gaping void just to see if the winds sweeping up from thfc valley below will blow it back. With a ticket window nearby and soda pop vendors making nuisances of themselves young lovers no longer will find the place a serene, secluded spot where they can-drink in the romance of a summer s evening with the gorgeous panorama bathed in moonlight. Certainly, too, the Brown Mountain light, that strange phenomenon whose mystery we hope will never be spoiled by discovery of a scientific solution . . . certainly the light must have lost some of its entrancing interest, at least if witnessed from the rock. We suppose the view is the same and that a steady breeze still blows over the rock ; thank goodness, man :an't build a board fence around everything. But, somehow, the. place won't be the same to those who used to enjoy its rugged charm before the intrusion of crass commercialism. We are grateful that nothing of this sort has oc curred to spoil one's enjoyment of the grand gifts Nature has bestowed upon Macon County. Suppose on had to buy a ticket to see the glorious view from Wayah Bald. What if a board fence marred the beauty of Cullasaja Falls, or if one had to buy his way through a toll gate to descend the Winding Stairs? We may rest assured, however, that this will never happen, for most of Macon County's scenic spots are in the Nantahala National Forest. They belong to you and me and the other fellow, not to some conecssionarie. Here are scores of sights worth a quarter nay, many times a quarter to see; but thev mar be enjoyed to the fullest by anvone who would take the trouble to seek them out. Better Coaches Might Help "T. F." DESPITE antiquated coaches, nearly as uncomfortable as box cars and far less roomy, passenger as well as freight traffic over the Tallulah Falls Railway has been increasing in recent months. Frequently, we are told, the coaches are loaded to capacity when the train pulls out from Cornelia. Many still prefer, however, to ride the buses or travel by private automobile, although fares have been cut to the barest minimum on the "T. F." The trouble is, some travelers complain, the railway's coaches are not nearly as comfortable as bus coaches. Then, too, the rickety wooden frames are not inducive to confidence in one's safety. The "T. F." doubtless could improve its passenger traffic still more if it would install safer, cleaner, more modern coaches. A suggestion we overheard a patron of the road make several days ago seems to us a good one, although we do not presume to be an expert in railroad management. "Down at Cornelia," this patron remarked, "the 'T, F.' has a lot of junk equipment, including an old locomotive, sitting idle in the yards. Although useless to the railroad, this junk is of considerable value. As it stands, it is just rusting (Hit. Maybe the railroad could trade it off for some new coaches." We don't know whether this could be done, but it certainly seems that it is worth trying. The public has stuck by the railroad and come to its support in time of need ; it would be a fine thing for the railroad to show its appreciation by improving its service to the public.
