Mountain Is Gloriously Cool. awaBJ v WIND STORM CHARMS Sweeps Up From Valley With Cloudsof Dust A Grand Sight. B ack Mountain, N. a, Aur, 27.- The pact week has been idel weathrr, Several days the temperature ranged below 80 degrees, and one morning' it was 66 after sunrise. A w'nd storm that swept up the valley one evening was a grand s!ght. Great clouds cf dust from the road ways gave an ap pearance of smoke. Trees swayed, the clouds threatened, but in a few minutes it wai again sun shine and no damage. The influx of visit ra ccntinu s and the Southern Railway hai teen taxed to meet travel demands. It has given pretty even schedules when its Im mense business is considered. The Inn and ita side vf the valley continues to be of grea et inteieU to New Berniana. Among rec n' arrivals are Mrs. -L. I. Moore and children, and Mrs. M core's mother, Mrs. K ng, of New Bern. From Wilmington, Mrs. T. C James and sun, Marion Bridge has become iha cird game of the Inn. Social features tire dtily oc currences, lawn tennis, dat.ces tnd drives. Of special notice iaitweek may be mentioned the straw ride given by oe Brown, of Tampa, Fla to the young folks. Afterwards a Welsh rare bit, and as Joe remarked, "without the beer." . Tne regular weekly dance Thursday in the annex was as usual greatly en joyed. Friday night in the dining room of Tbe Inn, Mrs. Alex MeBuncy, of New York and Miss Ada Thomas, of Wash ington, D. C, gave a marshmallow roast to the guests and out fide f deeds. The great stone fire place was piled np with logs and when these were reduced to glowing embers every one was giv en a pointed stick upon which to rcast marshmallows. This affair was feat ured by ''Clem" of the dining room force, who sang negro songs with, ac cordion accompaniment. Saturday a Fudge party and dance were given. This week will find many tourists on their way home. Those who have mountain homes or who come to the mountains to get all there is. will be here during moat of September, and so enjoy one of the best months. Busi ness calls most men home by Septem ber the first, but their families in many instances will stay over, for usually the first two weeks in September are the most heat tryir.g of eny of tbe summer.

WHAT FIGURES SHOW. Million Dollars In Corn Can Be Grown In District. It seems that -they are really doing things np around Dover, in the way of drainage, and not making much fuse about it, either.' In the Dover drainage district there are 20,000 acres, according to a man who has looked the proposition over, and who came down here yesterday. He said "When that land is put in corn, as it surely Will be after it is drained, it will easily produce fifty bushels to the acre. Just multiply that by the number of acres, and you have, according to my figures, one mil lion bushels of corn. At the prevailing price of one dollar a bushel, the value of this corn is of course the fine sum of $1,000,000." That reminds one just a little of the calculations of Col. Mul berry Seellrs, but is it given for what it is worth. The dredging machines, like those now at work near Dover, are compara tively ..recent inventions. At least, they have not been in use very long. When employed more generally they are destined to make Eastern North Carolina the garden spot of the At lantic coast.

Outgrow ing that field, Mr. Cherry took charge of larger hotels in larger towns, landing several years ago in Washington, where he made the old Hotel Louise a success from the start. While he has had many other oppor tunities, he chose the Gaston as his next point of advancement.

S.- Basnight has issued the following in connection with the new-law governing the delivery of mail on Sundays as told of in yesterday's morning's Journal: The following order from the Post- office Department, will become effec tive at this office, beginning next Sunday September first, nineteen hundred and twelve: J. S. BASNIGHT, : Postmaster. ' ' ,' WANT ONE? : Here is the transcript of a sign seen on the outskirts of towd: . "" FRESH GROCERS Come at oncel Postofflce Department, First Assistant Postmaster Geueraf. . ; .;. Washington, D. C, Aug. 24 Postmaster: ' , , - ' Sir: ' The ' Post-office appropriation act "for the fiscal year ending June, 30, 1913, provides: f v , "That hereafter postofHces'of the first and second class shall not be open on Sundays fof the purpose of delivering mail to the general public, but this provision shall not prevent the prompt delivery of spedciai delivery mail." Under this law you will dote the gen eral delivery carriers' windows and lock boxes and discontinue all deliveries by carriers on Sunday, You will note: how ever,, that special delivery mail is excep ted and you will therefore arrange to ha on ' duty' a sufficient force to handle this mail matter promptly, ,'The Department desires to reduce Sunday work to the minimum so that as many of the employees as possible may enjo a complete day of rest on Sunday." You should i therefore, re quire only a sufficient number of clerks to report for duty on that day in order that transit mail and the mail collected for dispatch may be handled." without delav. If no mail is dispatched on Sun day a' very early collection should be made on Monday .morning and the mail for local delivery distributed before the carriers leave for their first trip... r -, s ; Respectfully, v : C. P. GRANDFIELD, . First Assistant Postmaster General. Seymour Baker of Vanceboro, who was held for retailing liquor a week or so ago, and wno nas since Deen in jail in default of $100 bond, was yester day released, bail having been furnished He is to appear before the next term of Federal court. The' accounts, highly colored, sent out concerning Baker's arrest, and the pitiful condition of his sick wife, aroused considerable sympathy by readers in nearby States. Mr. Charles B. Hill, U. S. Commissioner, received a sum of money recently to be given to Baker for the benefit of his invalid better half. Mr. Hill turned the money over to Bak er yesterday, but the man seemed to accept the contribution, as well as his release, quite as a matter of course, and seemed to feel no gratitude at all. "It is really surprising what an amount of sympathy is extended the poorest speci men of humanity just as soon as he is con victed o( peddling mean whiskey. A man who goes into the blind tigcf business always enters it with his eyes open, knows what to expect if apprehended.yet there seems to be a lot of mawkish sentimentalism ready toburst forth, as soon as the officers take the poison vender in charge," said a government officer yesterday. m FOUNDATION OF FORTUNES; The foundation, of practically every fortune Is "Small Savings." Ffrst of all, in acquiring the large amounts it was necessary to save in or der that there Would be capital with which to make investments. A bank such as the Peoples Bank is a great help in accumulating money. It pays 4 per cent compound interest on savings deposits of $1.00 or more. EL , -nT.iAfinir:?:FZ--. ... . fcj I. C.S.
