Honor to Whom Honor is Due.
Mb. Editor: It is frequently noticedin the correspondence of the County pa¬pers where some "great and shininglight," pining for glory and renown, andlike one of old, for more worlds to con¬quer, pitches into the Board of CountyCommissioner!} and just "raises Cain," asit were (in their own estimation, I sup¬pose.)Now I am no County Commissioner,
never was, nor never expect to be, andwrite this without the knowledge or con¬sent of the Board of Commissioners, butinjustice to them I think it is about timethey were given credit for some of thegood accruing to the County through theirmanagementAny one conversant with County affairs
is aware of the fact that when the Boardof County Commissioners for the years1889 and 1890, Messrs. B. C. Martin, A.W. Pickens and W. T. McGill, assumedcontrol of affairs the County was involvedin debt tc the tune of about $7,813,At the February term of Court for 1891,
after all indebtedness.both current andpast.had been paid, the Grand Jury foundsixty-lour dollars to the County's credit,and this with the same tax levy as for theyears in which the indebtedness accumu¬lated.The present Board, Messrs. W. T. Mc¬
Gill, B. C. Martin and R. E. Parker, arepaying cash for all work done, and havenearly five thousand dollars to the Coun¬ty's credit to pay expenses the remainderof the fiscal year, which is two months.The tax levy for 1891 for County pur¬
poses is one-half mill lower than formerly,with a proupect for a still greater reduc¬tion, as there is no past indebtedness tobe provided for as formerly.The bridges of the County are as staunch
and kept in as good repair as at any timein the County's history, so for as I amable to learn.As to the "awfully awful" condition
some would have us believe the roads arein, it ought to be borne in mind that thepresent yeai: has been exceptionally badon roads, as well as crops.When it is remembered that these men
who have redeemed the County fromdebt and placed it on a sound financialbasis are men taken from tho daily voca¬tion of farm life without any fiuancialtraining, I think they should be givencredit for their good deeds, and not havethe surplus "slop" of a few "smart Elicks"thrown at them as hus been the cose lately.Our Commissioners are men deserving
credit for their good deeds, and not abusefor their short comings, however envioussome m&y be of their record. Selaii.

The Junior's Trip to the Mountains.We are again at our post of duty, after a
two weeks'jaunt through the mountainsof Westorn North Carolina, and wo feelvery much recuperated. We could fillseveral columns of tho Ixtcllioencerin describing the places we have visitedami in telling of the scenes and iucidcntaof our trip, but as wo hardly know whereto begin and where to atop, and our spacebeing limited, wo will be compelled toBppnk of our trip only in a general way-
V.'e left homo on Friday, 11th ult,, andin a few hours landed in the progressivecity of Spartanburg. As we desired tomäke the trip over the Spartanburg &Ashovillo Railroad in daylight, we spentthe night there Spartanburg continuesto grow, and our stay there was one of themost pleasant features of our whole trip.We met a number of old friends, and en¬
joyed a delightful ride over a good portionof the city.Leaving Spartanburg on Saturday at 2
o'clock p. m., an hour later our train be¬gan its marvelous climb nt Saluda moun¬
tain, where two engines and any amountof persuasion are needed to get to the sum¬mit of the Clue Ridge. From this pointon to Ashevillc the scenery along thoroad is most beautiful and picturesque. IThe survey of this road certainly required Ia good amount of skill. The road bendsand winds, sometimes hiding behind thehigh hills and then standing out in talltrestles over deop ravines, affording thepassengers varied aud numerous scenes.The people will always delight to travelthis route, but as a freight line it willncvor do n big business, as the grades aretoo steep. Good time, however, is madeover the road, and in a little more thanthree hours aftor leaving SpartanburgAshevillc is reached.Everybody has heard about Asheville,
which is now recognized a3 one ofthe mostpopular winter as well as summer resortsin this whole country. It was our firstvisit there, and we must confess that wewore agreeably surprised to find such a
live, progressive city. Ten years ago, weare told, it was an obscure mountain town,but to day it ranks as one of the leadingcities of North Carolina. Meeting upwith our old friend, Capt. John O. Peo¬ples, of Newberry, who was also on amountain tour, we spent several days inAsheville, and, with him, visited all theplaces ot interest in and around the city.Asheville has a fine system of electric cars,running in almost every direction fromthe business centre of the city, and a stran¬ger has no trouble in locating and visiting,without: the assistance of a guide, anyplace he may desire in or around the city.There are many places to visit, and one'stime can be well spent in seeing them.The place is full ol attractive hotels andboarding houses, and visitors can get ac¬commodations at almost any price.fromone to eight dollars per day.There are two new points of interest
near Asheville that are now attractinghundreds of sight-seers every day. Werefer to Vanderbilt's home and the Kenii-worth Inn. Both stand within view ofBiltmore, a small station five miles thisside of Asheville. The Inn cost $500,000,and is a model of architecture and ole-gance. It has just been opened, and willbe both a winter and summer resort. Thefoundations of Mr. Vanderbilt's palace arenow being laid, and it will be three yearsor more before it is ready to be occupied.Five hundred hands are at work on thepremises, and the grounds present a grandscene. Mr. Vanderbilt will spend threemillion dollars on this place, which willmake it the grandest residence on thiscontinent.Wo met up with many former South
Carolinians in Asheville. and all of themare apparently doing well.Loaving Asheville we continued our
journey to Waynesville, N. C, which issituated on the Murphy branch of theWestern North Carolina Railroad, aboutthirty-five miles west of Asheville. Alongthe railroad the beauties of skylandbreak like a cyclorama all around you.Which way you look a new charm is pre-seated to the eye, and time passes awayvery rapidly to the traveler.Waynesville is the County seat of Hay-
wood County, and is the highest railroadtown east of the Mississippi River. It issituated at the base of the Balsam Moun¬tains, in the Richland "Valley, and Is ::,750feet above the sea level. The t:>wn is inthe heart of the finest hard-timber coun¬try in the world, and is backed by a goodagricultural country, which is well adapt¬ed to stock-raising, dairying, the produc¬tion of all the cereals and the finest gradesof tobacco.We were hunting a nice, quiet place to
rest and recuperate, and several friendsin Asheville advised us to go to Waynes*yille. We do not regret taking this advice,for we have never visited a more delight¬ful place. After alighting from the trainat the depot, the first person we met wasan old friend, Mr. A. J. Reeves, who, afew years ago, conducted business atHonoa Path for Sloan, Lee & Taylor. Heis proprietor of the Reeves Blouse, and, ofcourse, we put ourself in his care at once.He and his good wife did everything pos¬sible for our pleasure and comfort, and wespent a most enjoyable week under theirroof. They keep an excellent house, andhave a large number of boarders everysummer.Located one mile from Waynesville are
the Haywood White Sulphur Springs,which are now one of the most popularhaalth resorts in the South. A large,modern hotel stands at the Springs, and itis crowded every season with guests inseek of health and recreation. From thishotel one of the grandest views we haveever seen is presented to the eye..In point of fact a more attractive spot
than Waynesville ouuld scarcely be foundin which to spend a summer vacation.The town is embosomed among the moun¬tains, and its picturesque scenery, thecool and healthful breezes and its accessi¬bility is bound to make it a popular re¬sort. If her citizens will uso a little en¬
ergy, they can get ahead of Asheville as aresort. We had the pleasure of meetingthe editors of the Waynesville Courier, andare under obligations to them for courte¬sies shown us. If the citizens of Waynes¬ville will give the Courier the support itdeserves, it will do much toward adver¬tising the town.There are many places around the town
that will interest the visitor, and timenever grows monotonous. Our time was
spent so pleasantly we regretted that wecould not stay a month there.Before returning home we visited other
resorts, among them Hendersonville andSaluda, both of which are delightfulplaces to visit.A trip of this character is a good medi¬
cine for any person who needs rest and re¬creation.

Ers-kine & Co., is nearing completion.Mr. J. J. Major has erected a new gin-
house ou his plantation, which, with Mr.A. A. Carpenter's, makes three ginswithin a radius of two miles. Bring on
your cotton!Crops have suffered very little from
drought so far, and are looking well.Most of the farmers have gone back to
work, saving forage, rebuilding fences,clearing, &o.Mr. O. D. Anderson, with a stiiall army
of from ten to twelve men, is busily en¬
gaged in fighting a large army of tall pinetrees. From the latest account from thesaw mill, he is likely to be victorious.The singing school, taught by Mr. J. T.
Milford, closed Thursday, 20th inst.,after a session of ten days.forty to fiftypupils in attendance. A public day was
given at its close. The program consistedof anthems, solos, bright Sunday Schoolsongs, Church music, and a few pieces ofseoular music. All were well renderedand afforded much pleasure to the audi¬ence. No such attainments in vocal mu¬
sic could have been secured but by dili¬gent study and practice under an ener¬
getic and progressive teacher. The pureand elevating songa that were sung mayinspire the pupils to nobler thought andaction, filling their souls with gladnessand gratitude toward the Maker of us all.Many a home now resounds with thesongs learned at the 6chool, and is madebrighter thereby. While there are manycares and troubles that we can not cryaway, there ure many that we can singaway. Let the children be taught how to
sing is our motto.A recent protracted meeting at this
place conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. T.Smith, resulted in the addition of severalnew members, besides stimulating Churchmembers in Christian duty. The SundaySchool, Superintended by Mr. Jesse King,is in a nourishing condition.The patrons and friends of the day
school are invited to attend its closing ex¬
ercises Friday, September 1th, from 2 to1 p. m. The cordial support accorded thepresent school by its patrons, has contrib¬uted much to its success, and if continued,will furnish a good opening for any pro¬gressive teaoher.Among the visitors of the neighbor¬
hood, is Mrs. S. N. Williams, Abbeville,S. C., who is on a visit to her daughter,Mrs. J. R. Anderson. Mrs. John Calla-ham, of Georgia, is visiting her parents,Mr. and Mrs. Pinkney Itay. Mrs. Saa-sard, of plc-ida, reyently visited her tris¬ter, Mr. J. N. Vaudiver. A. L.

County Commissioner Martin Sneaks.Messrs Editors : Allow mc spaco in
your columns to reply to one "IchabodCrano," of Slabtown, who has mado someremarks in your last issue concerningtho condition of tho roads in that section,which is my division. I have appointedgood men as overseers on all the roads inmy division, with instructions to work notless than six days between April 1st andOctober 1st, and if the roads have not beenworked it is their neglect, and my duty tohave the law enforced for their not com¬plying, which I will have to do if notworked by October 1st. I trust that theOverseers will do their full duty, and Iwill not have the unpleasant duty of put¬ting any one to trouble or costs. I wasthrough that section about two weeksago, and I did not see any roads in suchcondition as "Icbabod Crane" describes.In regard to tho bridge, I had arranged tohave the mud taken off before his letter.
I will have to visit the Slabtown sectionagain this week to see the roads that havebeen so much neglected. I have traveledall over my division, and I was thinkingthat the roads were being well worked. Iwill say to the credit of some of the Over¬seers near Slabtown that they have work¬ed the roads well, but will say to thosewho havo not worked to look out, I amcoming to see them. B. C. Martin.
