POLK COUNTY NEWS C. BUSH, Publisher H. M: FRASER, Editor Phone 99, Published every Thursday at ? Tryofr; North Carolina E ite red as second-class matter April 28 1916 at the post office .-it Tryon. North Carolina under act of March 3, 1879. I Advertising Representative i i i IE/-.MLRICAN J'RF.SS ASSOCIATIC \ Our Most Valuable Resource. The children of Polk County are the most valuable resource on which we can boast regard less of our many other splendid assets. ?; This being so it is our highest duty , to see that this resource is conserved and developed in the very best and most efficient way. Strong minds in strong bodies are real prizes. The parents in Polk County owe it to their.- children to give them the best possible chance in life. No person with a weak body, which weakness could be pre vented, has been given the best chance in life. 4 The N. C. State Board of Health is coming to Columbus, Polk County , N. C., Monday ! August .27th, for several days, j in the persons of Miss B. Dunn j and its other representatives, to give all of our children up to twelve years of age expert ex amination and treatment for diseased tonsils and adenoids. The county officials are heartily cooperating in this work realizing its importance in the right development of a bigger and a better Polk Coun ty. If .your child has been ex amined and treatment i6 rec ommended by all means come to the clinic Monday; if your child has not been examined be sure and bring him to Co lumbus Monday the 27th, this is a wonderful opportunity to get the very best advice at the very lowest cost. As you val ue the health of your child, and are desirous that he have an equal chance in life with the child of your neighbor I urge you to take advantage of this special opportunity. E. W. S. COBB County Supt. (Continued from page 1.) BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE dulating forest, unbroken and motionless, ? foM upon fold, until at last into the blue sky the blue earth merges, the far, level hori zon giving a hint of the distant sea. This is the crest of War rior mountain and from this last height one looks out over the hills ofvthe Carolinas to the edge of the world. Directly beneath, blue witu depth and purple with shadow, the village of Tryon and nearer, throwing up bits of sunlight from its ripples, the bright ribbon of the Pacolet winds ' through th Valley of Lynn. ' When America some day grants fuller recognition to those of her' sons whom the world delights to honor, this forgotten spot on Warrior mountain will not be unknown to fame and may, perhaps, be called Lanier's Cliff. Hope, that Robert Louis Stevenson of Southern song, that soul so brave in the face of want and care and pain, paused on his last earthly journey, and, gazing out over the purple plain into the dreamy distance where b>ue meets blue, caught his final vision of the far-off sea. Rem ember the sibilant voice of the marshes and dreamed again"the live-oak, the marsh and the main." "Up-breathed from the marsh es, a message of range and of sweep, Interwoven with waftures of wild sea-liberties drifting, Came through the lapped leaves sifting, sifting, Came to the gates of sleep." In the turquoise depths below ? the days being done ? he was soon to reach the end, there in the Valley of Lynn where the voice of the troubled Pacolet catted to him through the wide open windows. The place seem ed one prepared by nature for the passing on of those favored sons who had understood her secrets and loved her. Although far from the shore he was granted from the moun tain the vision of the sea and down in the quiet Valley of Lynn, though far from the hills of Habersham, far from the val leys of Hall,- the murmur of the Pacolet whispered the song of the Chattahoochie and soothed him to sleep. I Often I have seen the side of the great Sphinx, Mount Tryon, and of the lesser peaks, the two Warrior pyramids, covered by the frost of a single night with coats of flashing color ? crimson and reds and yellows, while in the happy valley at their feet | green summer lingered a mo j ment in the shelter of the moun tains. This phenomenon re peated each season recalls the brief description of the poet's last hours. "We are left alone," i wrote Mrs. Lanier, "with one another. On the last night of ! summer comes a change. His love and immortal will hold off ( the destroyer of our summer yet i one more week, until' the fore noon of September 7. And then falls the frost and that unfalter ing will renders it supreme sub- j mission to the adored will of j God." , No mountain region in the j world is better fitted as an abode ! for man than are these Southern \ Appalachians. Our Western I mountains, like the Al?s and the i Pyrenees, are still but the bare ! scaffolding of nature that the frosts and tempests of countless ages must yet crumble and carve and fill ta soften rugged outlines and change crag and grotesque peak in the smiling, gentle slopes, carpeted with ferns and grass and shaded by trees, that man loves so well. Here, long ago, this work was done and so while almost the last of earth's highlands to be entered by civil ized man the land was long pre pared and awaited his coming. Under skies as blue and clouds as white as those of Italy here are the unsung Apennines of a New World in the mountains of more recent formation, as those of the far West, * every settle ment seems like an alien outpost in the midst of huge, hostile forces. Here, each little town, each sheltered cove farm, the clinging hillside vineyard, the lonely cabin up the hollow are all in perfect harmony with a friendly, verdant landscape. One learns to best love "The sea not far out on its great depths but where sea ends and , land begins ? where the waves i roll in slow cadence up some i level beach or boil and dash against a rock bound coast. And it is not otherwise with moun tains. Lost in their midst one loses one's sense of size and dis tance and mighty peaks are hid den by a hillock. For me the spell of the mountains ft felt most fully n^ar their limits as here on Warrior or at the cliff at Caesar's Head where one com j prehends in a moment the height of the hills, the depth of valleys and the illimitable ex panse of the plains. Few last ing or important accomplish ments for humanity have been wrought by men living in such places. Work is best done out on the crowded, dusty plains; and yet no man can stand for a moment alone on a mountain and look out, thoughtfully, over the distant world without renewing his soul and gaining strength for the struggle from which he has for a moment drawn aside. Should he linger too long there is danger that the busy world -below may cease to call him and may becom,e remote and forgot ten. Yet, without at least one such vision in life, the eyes may become glued to a petty task, minor things loom great and one may lie down at last without even having glimpsed the uni verse in which one plays a little part. ?
