the Normal Summer School in
Asheville. There were said to be
eight hundred on the mountain
that day.
The motor road begins its steep
ascent at Black Mountain, wind-
ingSaround steep heights and oyer
deep valleys, the cars backing
around curves walled upon a
higher plane at each turn ot the
road. The scene is wonderful as,
you climb far over the forest cov-
erea peaks. In the. valleys can
be seen the little towns and vil
lages in distance, little dots like
toys in the plains below. We
reached Camp Alice, the terme-
nus of the road at eleven o’clock
where we had lunch, then began
the climb to the top When we
looked far above and saw the flag
waving from the top of the peak,
it seemed a distance, but fousd
it quite a nice trail with substan
tial seats along the way, and we
were soon at the top looking in
speechless wonder over the scene.
No pen can describe or brush
portray. One has to see froi
this height the beauty and won
der of this section of North Caro
lina, pronounced by world travel
ers to be the most beautiful on.
the globe.
We looked from the observa
tory stationed on top of the peak
near by and others extending to
other states. Helow us were the
dark cloudslthrough which we had
come somewhat dampened, and
as we stood by Prof Mitchell’s;
grave it seemed the clouds hung
like a dark curtain at half mast,
a fitting scene where sleeps alone,
one who gave much of his life
and more in his death to Nortl
Carolina.
As we descended to the Cam'
we noticed more leisurely th'’
surrounding forest—the d a r
balsam, spruce and many straps
plants and flowers, the beautifi
rhododendron and azaleas at
height were in their glory- T1
balsam groves were beautifi

A CHOICE ol
Two THINGS
W HEN a person decides to save money, he has
generally turned the matter over in his mind
and made a choice between two things. For
the matter of saving comes to that.
Do you choose to spend your
money as it comes, gaining noth
ing to show for it—or to save
part of it until it has grown large
enough to buy something you
really want?
