The very name is uggestive of mountains and coves, streams and fishes, cool and re freshing air and nights of restful and restoring sleep. In company with a friend The Gazette man spent Sunday at this new summer resort and he was charmed with the place. As yet practically undeve loped and unadvertised, it is yet the meoca of not a few people who seek rest from noise and strife and close communion with nature in all her grandeur. With only one small hotel and a cottage or two with accommodations for thirty or forty guests, it is not as yet pre pared for taking care of any eon- siriprahle crowd of neODle but, if properly handled aud advertised, it will undoubtedly some day in the near future be one of Western North Carolina's mast popular re sorts. Edgemont is the terminus of tht Caldwell & Northern Railway which is an extension from Lenoir of the Caroliua & Northwestern Railway. It is 23 miles from Lenoir and hence about 85 miles from Gastonia. Leaving Gastouia on the week end special Saturday evening at 7 o'clock we arrived there about midnight and soon fouud ourselves sleeping under cover. Just what the elevation of this nlace is the writer did not learn but it is suffic iently high to ensure cool nights all during the summer and the days are comfortably cool if one keeps in the shade. The hotel here was opened for the first time last sum mer and the first cottage was built this summer. The railroad com pauy has erected a commodious and attractive little depot and baggage house. A concrete reservoir has been built some distance up on the mountaiu above the hotel which furnishes pure cold water for all purposes. The Edgemont Club is grading a road to property recently purchased on which it expects to erect a eqmmodious and comfor table club house for its members This will probably be ready for oc cupancy next season. Between the depot and the hot runs the clear swift Wilson creek which is spanned by a suspension bridge. Its waters are as clear as crystal excent in rainy weather when they lecotne somewhat mur dy. Recently this stream has Ikmmi heavily stocked by the government with fish and within a season or two fishing will be a great sport in the viciuity of Edgemont. At this Doint the stream is shallow and - furnishes a means for great spor among the younger folks who de light to wade in its cool crystal waters. Two miles south of Edgemont is Nortimer, the headquarters of the Ritter Lumber Company which is operating extensively in that set tion . Their big plant at this point consumes an amount of timeber that is astounding to the average layman who lives in a section where lumbering is not known. This company has a flume ending at Edgemont which brings the sawed planks from saw mills as far back in the mountains as eight miles. They have flumes also at other points. At Mortimer there fa a hotel and auite a number of nice homes. The towu is lighted liv filw.tricitv furnished br the v company. A point oi peculiar interest in this section of the State is Grand- lather Mountain which is ouly about tea miles north of Edgemont. Thig peak is in the neighborhood of 6,000 fet high and many tourists make their jay to Wwtem Nwth Caralin (or m ol purpose seeing apd climbing this wonder f$ mooataia. A fev pilot forth et on is Blowing Rock. another famous summer resort which is reached ordinarily by a long drive from Lenoir. Just what the plans of the railroad are is not known but is is believed that some time in the future this railroad will be extend edon to Blowing Rock thus put ting this isolated paradAe within easy reach of the public.

All through nature, from the mouse, which breathes lt0 times a minute, to the elephant, which breaths six times in a min ute, one rule holds good the large er and stronger the animal the more slowly and deeply it breathes. Individual power is in direct pro portion to the amount of oxygen you get into the lungs. The ant is 120 times stronger than the tiger, and uses up eight times as much oxygen . And the same rule applies to man kind. The man who has climbed to the top and is able to stop there such a man is always a big- breasted, deep breathing fellow. Cromwell, Luther. Napoleon, Washing, Koosevelt all these are remarkable for the size of chest. The average man and woman do not really breathe. They merely gap. in an examination cover ing several thousand adults 1 have fouud less than one hundred w ho breath aright. The ordinary per son uses atwut ouecuarter of his breathing capacity. If you want to increase your health, your vitality, your general power and usefulness In the world, legin by increasing your breathiug capacity. Howt Well, there are three factors in proper breathing; first freedom from tight clothing; second, mus cular relaxation; third, habit. And luckily, all these threecan le gain ed easily.
