CONNESSIEE NOTES
One of the njostf wonderful grape
vines in Transylvania County . is on
the- place of Mr. Henry Fisher, the
well-known Confederate veteran of
this community. Your correspondent
hesitates to estimate the quantity of
grapes gathered from this vine for
fear of exaggeration, but next sum
mer visitors can do their own guess
ing.
Mr. Pierce Tin.sley iw sa theory
about preventing frost from hurting
peach trees which is well worth fol
lowing up. The story he tells about
how a wiid grape vine hanging from
a peach tree into a running stream j
agitated the tree so as either to pro- i
duce an client similar to the wind or !
to impart energy, is both an inter
esting illustration of Mr. Titisley's
keen powers of observation and sug- !
gestive of a line of thought for fur
ther inquiry. The point is that that
peach tree withstood the frost when ?
others nearby did not. '
Mr. Pierce Tinsley has a theory
omts actiw believers in the liming,
of land. lie has already experienced
the benefits or it. and is preparing to
extend his operations.

PERMIT, NUMBER ON2 ;
Permit No. 1, to tour the Yo
semite Valley, a trophy sought eager
ly every year by every automobile
011 the Pacific Coast, has been award
ed for the liftli consecutive time (.0
Studebaker.
Each year there i.s a race to see
who shall be first into the Valley. To
get there means a twenty-four hour
grind through seemingly impassable
roads, snow banked and drifted as
high as the car, and around trees
| blown across the unseen trail during
the stormy winter. No tackle, towing
or other aids to motoring may be
used. The car must go in under its
own power exclusively.
At 8:15 in the morning of Jan. 4,
Chief Ranger F. S. Townsley of the
j California forestry service found out
side his cabin in the Valley, which
j during the winter is made an "island"
I by the towering drifts without, Wil
liam J. Silv'a, Studebaker dealer of
Modcsta, Cal., in a Standard six
DupIoK phaeton.
"\v ell, winter is over and spring
will 1 e coining soon.'' he said. "You
fellow.; with your Studebakers are as
: .;ig? at the seasons as the -first
rob;-;.:, ivoi" live year.; you have taken
away permit No, 1. Guess 1 may as
uvii have a 1 libber stamp made for
you. I io\v die you find the going?"
?th*. Silva ha;! to admit that the go
i :?? had taxed every resource of the
Standard si.; ca . In places he had to
back up. several times and buck
drifts like a battering ram. Several
other places a start had t obe made
with shovels.
Probably no drive in the world
calls for quite as much stamina, pow
er and reserve strength a. thi.v bur
rowing, bucking tour over :*ra,\y-ob
scured CouHcryille road. The S.iude
baker car which made it was an ord
inary. stock phaeton. It is what i ?
built into it which made the i'eal ^ri
sible for the fifth cansecutiv- time,
a world record. .
