WAS A DOPE FIEND.
Young Man Convicted of Rifling Let-
ten In Wilmington Postofflce
Makes Novel Plea in Defense of
His Action. .
In the United States district court
at Wilmington, N. C, last Thursday
afternoon Everett McAllister, a well
known -young white man, twenty
nine years of age, plead guilty to
rifling letters In the postofflce here,
and was sentenced to twelve months
in the Federal prison in Atlanta
McAllister, while admitting his guilt,
made the strange defense that he
was a coca-cola and cocaine fiend,
and introduced an expert to testify
that he was such, and that both the
use of the beverage and the drug
had a harmful effect on him and
made his mentality of a low type.
McAllister was a trusted postofflce
clerk, and rifled a number of letters.
He was finally caught by detectives
by means of a decoy letter. He
claimed that he committed the
crime while under the influence of
drugs and knew nothing about it
In view of this plea, his past good
character, and the fact that he has a
wife, and baby, the light sentence
was Imposed.
AUTO TRIP A SUCCESS.
Party of Sixty-Five Made Trip Over
New Mountain Roads from Edge
mont to Blowing Rock Opens
Up to Public View and Travel
Magnificent Mountain Section.
Sixty-five people occupying nine
teen automobiles composed the party
which made the trip over the
magnificent new mountain road
from Edgemont to Blowing Rock.
The party left Edgemont Thursday
afternoon.
The following account of the trip
and description of the roads and
scenery is taken from Editor Wade
Harris' editorial columns in Mon
day's Charlotte Chronicle:
There is now open to the tourist,
the pleasure-seeker, the scenic devo
tee and to the world in general, a
new and surpassingly grand section
,of the mountains of western North
Carolina by a new and attractive
gateway at Edgemont, the pictur
esque little mountain town where
the Carolina & Northwestern Rail
road strikes the base of a towering
mountain and comes to a halt.
From this gateway to LInville City a
new turnpike has been completed,
which, in its construction, is pecul
iarly adapted to automobile travel.
Before going further, it may be well
to say that this feat in modern
roadway construction was due to the
engineering skill of Mr. J. R. Erwin,
under the direction of the .Wautau-
ga Turnpike Company, an auxiliary
association to the Carolina & North
western Railroad Company, and of
which Mr. L, T. Nichols, the general
manager, was" the controlling and
impelling spirit. The distance from
Edgemont . to LInville Is 21 miles.
The time going is three hours; the
time returning Is two hours. The
travel Is by automobile; the fare $2
Llnvllle-bound and $1.50 for there-
turn. The conveyance is by automo
bile. The turnpike is broad and
well graded. The maximum of
grade between Edgemont and Ca
rey's Flat, half way, is 6 per cent.,
while for the remainder of the dis
tance is is 5 1-2 per cent. This re
markably easy grade Is secured by
numberless picturesque curves, or
"hair pins." At one point along the
road the buildings In Blowing Rock
can be seen glittering in - the sun.
Great stretches of low-lying valleys
are alternately opened , up and clos
ed In and towering cliffs and knobs
draw tbe gaze skyward in every di
rection. Going to Lin vllle, the new
turnpike breaks Into the Yonahlos
see road near the great, rock and
waterfall in the side of Grandfather
mountain. Between Carey's Flat !
and ' the Grandfather,' the construe-'
tlon of the road, as, It hugs themoun
tain sides, had to be cut through the
solid rock and is walled on one side
with solid ' granite,', floored -; with
granite and supported on the sheer
side with granite buttresses. It is
the most perfect and the most ex
I
pensive piece of , mountain ; road
building In the entire country and
one can but marvel at the engineer
ing skill that deveIoped.lt. A short
distance west of Carey's Flats,
branch of this turnpike of equal
character of grade and construction
Is being built to Blowing Rock. This
new turnpike will come Into the
Yonahlossee road near the toll gate
west of Cone's estate. It will be
completed this summer. By It the
distance from Edgemont to Blowing
Rock will be 16 miles. Automobile
service will be established over this
route also. That much being said
about the new highways which are
to serve In opening up the moun
tain country we can now get to the
incidents of one of the most unique
and one of the most novel excur
sions yet planned and executed.. It
was an automobile tour from Edge
mont to LInville, thence to Blowing
Rock and Boone, back to Blowing
Rock and thence to Lenoir. The
excursion was planned by Mr. Nich
ols, the general manager of the Car
olina & Northwestern road. He
conceived It on the completion of
the Edgemont-Llnvllle turnpike last
October and had since been perfect
Ing his plans.
When the Darty. sixty-five in
number, reached Edgemont at 1
o'clock Thursday afternoon. In a
special train provided by the Caro
lina & Northwestern management,
It found nineteen automobiles lined
up on the lawn in front of the hotel.
Edgemont Is a beautiful spot. The
hotel faces a broad valley which Is
walled in by towering mountains
and through the 'valley runs Wil
son's creek, spanned by both foot
and wagon bridges of picturesque
construction, the flooring of the for
mer being laid on steel cables. It
was good that Mr. Howard A. Banks
editor of The Hickory Democrat,
had been selected by Mr. Nichols as
chairman of the committee of ar
rangements, for as the party left the
hotel after dinner, it found that he
had completed the assignments to
the automobiles. There was no
confusion and after the line-up had
been photographed, the spin to LIn
ville was begun. There was no mis
hap until at Carey's Gap, one of the
machines broke down, but a stop
would have been Inevitable there,
all the same, for at the store a par
ty f over one hundred mountain
people men, women and children
had assembled to see the show. A
dozen cameras were busy for half
an hour, the while a mountaineer
stood on a wagon and played a fid
dle and It was music that came
from the soul. All of these partiea
and others that were met on the
roads, were given short rides on the
automobiles and their enjoyment
could not be concealed. The Chron
icle next Saturday is going to pro
duce some of it as shown by the
camera. At this point the road had
reached an altitude of 1,022 feet
above Edgemont and the numbers
of the party began getting out their
wraps and overcoats. Rounding
Grandfather mountain, the altitude
above Beaumont had reached 2,840
feet, the highest point on the road
and everybody was muffled to the I
ears, men oegan me aasn aown in
to Linville City, the wind whistling
by like an arctic gale.
Despite the time idled away on
the road, the first automobile drew
up at the Eseeola Inn at 7 o'clock.
Its occupants hopped out and found
a log fire roaring in the great fire
place of the reception hall. Other
automobiles followed at intervals of
ten and fifteen minutes and pretty
soon there was a royal dinner and
after that music and dancing and a
bagpipe soiree by Mr. . McRae, the
native Scotchman whose home is lo
cated at the turn rf the road lead
ing to the top of GrantTTather. The
valley in which LInville City is lo
cated is a great carpet of grass, dot
ted by cottages mostly of rustic de
sign and set out in spruce, rhod
odendron, firs, white pine, tamarlck
and other beauties of the mountain
forest. Friday morning the hardier
members of the party set ouf for the
ascent of Grandfather mountain and
made it, bringing back fragments of
icicles to prove it. Fishing, how
ever, was the sport of the day) and
from Lake Kawana and LInville riv
er, a great catch of rainbow and
speckled trout was brought to the
Inn by nightfall.
On the arrival at Blowing Rock
the following morning, it was found
that - the whole population of ' the'
village had . assembled on the lawn
in front of the Watauga Hotel, to
welcome the automobile tourists.
All the people were Invited to take
a ride an Invitation that was Joy
ously accepted a diversion in which
there was no ' break . the live-long
day, except during the two hours I

occupied by the run over to Boone
and return.
The turnpike people are doing
great work on the road between
Blowing Rock and Lenoir. A splen
did new grade is being worked out.
The new. road Is much broader than
the old one and that section of it
which has been macadamized indi
cates that it is going to be a splen
did highway. Sections of It are al
ready in use and It Is said that the
entire length of the road will be
completed this summer,
We have not said much about the
scenery, but the tourist who follows
the Carolina & Northwestern from
Lenoir to Edgemont through the
. ib. .
gorge or Wilson s creek, and the
turnpike thence over the fine high
ways we have indicated back to Le
noir, will have seen the grandest
views of any mountain country In the
world.
Let us tell you the automobile
Is a great institution. If we were
rich, we would buy one today. We
were asked yesterday, at Blowing
Rock, by Mr. J. Meek Smith, of Clo
ver. S. C, If we wanted to get home
quick. Looking around at the roofs
that glistened under a coating of
frost as white as snow, we told him
we did. He invited us to jump into
his E. M. R. machine. The start was
made from Blowing Rock at 8:30
and at 4:30 he drew up at the Falls
House in Gastonla. The distance
traveled was 85 miles. A stop of
thirty minutes was made at Lincoln
ton for dinner, fifteen minutes was
lost by retracing a wrong road, and
half an hour in side-tracking to let
a country church procession pass by
one way and take to the fields the
other way, and at Gastonla we had
over an hour to wait for the Charlotte-bound
train. That shows the
possibilities opened by the new
mountain roads for automobiling.

Mrs. Francis Koegl, 41 W. Jessa
mine St., St. Paul, Minn., on Novem
ber 16, 1909, wrote: "I have used
several hair tonics, but there is non

ruff, and it does not only cure those
troubles, but Is the best hair grow
