THROUGH MOUNTAINS
A Trip From Cartersville to Tallu
lah Falls.
MUCH THAT WAS NOVEL
And Verv Interesting Caine Throagti the Expe
rience of Hie Party, U'hoWera Twenty
Days on Their Travel*.
(Julian Harris in Atlanta Constitution.)
It is first necessary that moun
tain air should induce eloquence
and epigram before the beauties of
the scenery in north Georgia can
be aptly described or faithfully de
picted by word suggestion.
The delight of thrilling scenic
surroundings and the happiness of
renewed health are a part of a trip
through this wonderful north Geor
gia country. It is not often that
one is able to ride leisurely through
such surroundings and camp under
canvas in the midst of so much
that is inspiring. For a considera
ble time Judge John W. Akin, of
Cartersville, Ga.. who is an ardent
lover of the poetical, though at the
same time a wonderfully practical
man, contemplated a camping trip
from his home to Tallulah Falls.
If you arefeelirg
out of sorts, weak
and generally ex
hausted, nervous,
have no appetite
and can’t work,
begin at once tak
ing the most relia
ble strengthening
medicine,which is
Brown’s Iron Bit
ters. A few bot
tles cure—benefit
comes from the
very first dose— it
toon'l slain your
ttrth , and it’s
pleasant to take.
He determined to carry out his
plan this year and when I was
asked to make one of the party my
acceptance was thrust upon him
by wire. It was 11 o’clock on the
morning of Monday, August 12th,
that our little calvacade trailed out
of Cartersville and trotted beyond
the city limits and there took along
the banks of the famous and fasci
nating Etowah. Than the Etowah
there are few prettier streams in
the south. The name was given
the river by the Indians and the
Indian pronunciation has caused it
to be called the Hightower in the
farther north of the state. The
waters go coquetting along the
banks, now spraying up in sparkles
to dirt with the mountain laurel
that dips to touch the caressing
current; now laughing merrily
back from nearby shoals, or in
doubtful dignity gliding slowly
along some mysterious depth. And
thus, and in many other nervous
moods and fanciful turns, the
waters of this historic stream swish
and slip to join its sister river.
Some miles out of Cartersville is
the last of the Etowah company
properrty—a property that was
once as famous as it is now remi
niscent. It was a magnificent man
ufacturing site and the property
was valued in the millions. It was
mortgaged during the war to the
confederate government and that
mortgage is still on record In Bar
tow county. The scene is one which
involves a touch of the pathetic.
Inside the massive walls of im
mense buildings are tali pines that
have grown since the destruction
of the property by Sherman’s army.
Rank weeds dampen the founda
tions, and shrubbery and under
growth intermingle where once
splendid roadways were. Just at
i a turn in the road there is an un
j expected sight. A monument rises
up from the center of what was
j once a small plaza. It contains the
I names of nearly a hundred men
and was erected by a grateful ben
| eficiary—the original owner of the
property —to noble friends who
j came to his aid when fatal failure
! stared him in the face. It is well
| that the trees are pines here, for
the moaning made through tnem
by the melodious winds is but in
keeping with the memories, and
the dismal groanings of Hurricane
Hollow make a tine undertone that
is in full harmony with the dismal
surroundings.
It is here that the first stop was
made for dinner. In the party were
Judge Akin, Mrs. Akin, Miss Ver
dery Akin, Miss Norris, Thomas
Gilreath, William Howard, Raul F.
Akin, of Cartersville, and myself.
Our vehicles were two single bug
gies and a two-horse surrey, as well
as a great covered wagon for the
tents, eatables, and for luggage.
Only one horse was used on the
trip and he fared less well than the
j stout mules. Two negro men—a
j chef de cuisine and a hostler, as
we were pleased to call them—and
a small negro boy, who was not
[only useful but interesting and
1 amusing, were attaches of the
j party.
KX-DOVERXOR BROWN’S OLD HOME.
Our first stop, after passing
through some strikingly beautiful
scenery, was less than one mile
south of Canton. There we found
an ideal camping spot and tents
were quickly hoisted and mattress
es unrolled. As nearly all of Car
tersville had predicted broken bug
gies and smash-ups for the trip, it
became a duty each day to look
very carefully after every wagon
and buggy, and the result was that
not a single accident occurred.

toric mountain that we passed in
sight of. It is called Pine Top and
from its lofty height floated the
first confederate flag that ever
graced southern breezes. It was
nailed to a stripped pine sometime
before the firing of the first gun
and remained there until Sherman
replaced it with the stars and
stripes. Since then the pole has
been used in the geodetic surveys
by the government.
The morning after our first night’s
camp we were rather slow in pre
paring for the day’s travel. After
the first three or four days, how
ever, we managed with more celer
ity, and we found no difficulty in
frequently starting on our day’s
ride by 0:30 or 7 o’clock, and that
after having fairly devoured a
hearty meal and put everything in
proper place.
In Canton we passed the spot
where once was the residence of
the late ex-Governor Brown. It
was this home that Sherman de
tailed 300 men to destroy. At this
little town we secured such sup
plies as chickens, butter, eggs, corn,
oats and fodder for the horses. It
was 9 o’clock on the morning of
Tuesday when we drove out of
Canton and after making twelve
miles we stopped for dinner, which
had been cooked at breakfast time.
Very near where we stopped was a
peculiar slab over a grave. In two
instances the wrong month was on
the stone for the date of birth and
death, and these were marked out
by a line while the proper month
was cut in just above. The re
mainder read as follows:
“Aged forty years seven days

church, at this place and liyed in
prayer Un To God.
“Reader I wonce w-as as you ar
now as I am now so you must bee,
so, now prepare for deth
“And follow me.”
RAIN IN ATTENDANCE.
The pattering rain drops danced
attendance upon us during the en
tire afternoon of this day and when
Barrettsville, which is in Dawson
county, was reached, we stopped in
a vacant house, as it was thought
best not to pitch our tents.
At the end of the second day we
had gone from Bartow through
Cherokee and the upper end of
Forsyth to Dawson county. At
Barrettsville there was a family
that had formerly lived in Atlanta.
Along the route up to this time the
abundance of corn was most no
ticOiib!?. TllGfG to b** h
wonderful scarcity of cotton even
in Bartow county.
Barrettsville was left at 6:30, in
the rain, and we pushed through
•Dawsonville on to Auraria, better
known as Knucklesville, where
again we met an Atlantian. He
was the youngest son of Colonel B.
F. Abbott. He is in attendance on
Young Harris Institute and was
stopping at Auraria with a college
friend. Dahkmega was made by 3
o’clock in the afternoon. The roads
were heavy and the rain still fail
ing when we left that place. From -
Barrettsyiiie we had traveled in a
northeasterly direction.
DEACONS AND DEACONS.
Five miles from Dahlonega, to
the north, the roads were so bad
and the weather so thoroughly in
harmony, that we decided to camp
at Pleasant Ridge church. The
home of a deacon was located a
short distance away and one of the
party went for the key. The dea
con said he could let no one camp
in the church unless the other two
deacons agreed upon it. As they
lived some four or five miles apart
it was impossible to obtain a two
thirds majority. The deacon was
steadfast in his refusal until a lady
member of the party swooped down
upon him and his tardy consent
was obtained.
The night, spent in the church
was anything but pleasant. The
benches had to be moved at night
and then replaced in the morning,
and though we left at G:3O, by our
time, we found ourselves surround
ed by twenty or more curious chil
dren of the mountains who were
waiting to attend school. This in
cident occurred in Lumpkin coun
ty, where the roads were decidedly
hilly.
•
From Pleasant Ridge church we
headed northeast by east and then
camped a mile to the south of
Clarksville. On this day, Thurs
day, we ate dinner near Mount
Yona, a magnificent mountain. On
account of the steady downpour of
rain it was thought best to remain
in camp near Clarksville, which
was done. A vacant house was
easily secured and a pleasant day
passed in whist playing interspers
ed with guitar thrumming and
vocal exercises.
WITHIN SOUND OF THE FALLS.
At Clarksville, where Judge
Bleckley and Walter Hill, of Ma
con, are summering, the tents and
the heaviest trunks were shipped
to Tallulah and we proceeded our
selves, despite the still falling rain.
Tallulah was reached on Satur
day afternoon, and again we found
it advisable to secure a house for
our party. Sunday a visit was
made to the falls. To deacrbe Tal
lulah Falls needs a larger selection
of words than an average writer
possesses. I imagine that it would
be very easy to describe any one
of the falls, or all, and the surround
ing scenerj-, if one has never seen
them; but after looking on the
wonderful and awe-inspiring sight
I have not the hardihood to attempt
anything like an analytical descrip
tion.
Of all the falls I preferred Ladore.
Others of the party were wedded
to the rumbling roar of Tempesta
and the dash and -plash of Hurri
cane. Bridal Veil Falls has its
beauties, too. Then there are such
points of interest as the Devil’s Pul
pit, the Devil’s Jail and Haw
thorne’s Pool, to say nothing of the
proverbial Lovers’Leap. Legends
innumerable have centered about
Tallulah Falls and the sightseer
has his senses startled by the sto

in Ohio.
BY SPRINGING i HhQUESTION
Of the Tariff—Governor Campbell Will Make
a Vigorous nnd Aggressive Campaign
and His Election Probable.
[From our Regular Correspondent.!
Washington, Sept. 13, ’Jo.
Democrats here are unanimously
of the opinion that Senator Sher
man did the democratic party, not
only in Ohio, hut throughout the
country, a great favor when he lug
ged the tariff in as an issue. Those
who occupy positions which enable
them to speak with authority, say
that with the tariff for an issue in
Ohio, the election of a democratic
legislature is a certainty and that
of Governor Campbell extremely
prooable. It is hoped that Sher
man, McKinley and Foraker, whose
recent speeches are to be distribu
ted as democratic campaign docu
ments In Ohio, will succeed in their
announced intention to make the
tariff an issue in the national cam
paign. The prospects for the elec
tion of a democratic president next
year have been steadily growing
brighter for some time, but with
the republicans committed to the
restoration of McKinley ism, they
would become dazzlinsrly brilliant.
The sentiment ot the country is
overwhelmingly in favor of the
democratic idea of a low tariff and
against the Chinese wall which
McKinleyism built around the
commerce of the United States.
This has been shown at more than
one congressional election and it
was shown in the enormous major
ity by which President Cleveland
was elected the last time, when the
tariff was the predominating issue.
The principal object these Ohio re
publicans have in view is doubtless
to compel their party to nominate
McKinley by making McKinley
ism the issue, as it is well known
that Tom Reed and his Irieuds
have been specially desirous to al
low the tariff issue to remain in
the background in the presidential
campaign.
At a meeting of the Ohio state
democratic association held here
this week a letter was read from
Governor Campbell, which created
much enthusiasm. Gov. Campbell
said that he intended to make a
vigorous and aggressive campaign
and expressed the opinion that the
result at the polls would largely
depend upon the loyalty and activ
ity of democrats. Members of the
association say that it will be no
fault of theirs if every Ohio demo
cratic voter temporarily residing
in Washington, does not go home
and vote for Campbell, and every
man of them believes that Camp
bell’s luck is going to pull him
through.
Secretary Carlisle has set the
20th inst., to hear arguments in the
appeal from the decision of Comp
troller Bowler in the sugar bounty
cases. Ex-Senator Mandeison,
counsel for the Nebraska beet su
gar men, takes the ground that Mr.
Bowler’s action in citing the claims
for sugar bounty to the court of
claims was illegal.
The opinion of Senator Mills, of
Texas, ou the silver question, which
was made public just before he left
for home, after having spent the
summer in Washington supposedly
engaged in literary work, has been
much talked about, especially as
he had been generally regarded as
a silver man. His conversion t
“sound money” has greatly pleased
the administration men, who say
that his letter defining and defend
ing his position will be of the great
est value to the “sound money”
democrats of Texas. Needless to
say the silver democrats do not
take that view of it.
On the 29th of this month there
will be a change in the comman
der of the United States army. On
that day Lieutenant Gen. Scho
field will reach the age limit for
retirement and one of the major
generals will be named as com
mander of the army. There will
be no promotions on account of the
change, as the grade of lieutenant
general ceases to exist upon the re-,
tiremeut of Gen. Schofield. Gen
Nelson A. Miles is the senior major

Secretory Lament went to Gray
Gables this week to see President
Cleveland, and, although the secre
tary said Ids visit had no political
significance, it is safe to say that
their conversation was not confined
to the healtli of Baby Marion and
other family matters. There are
several other subjects upon which
they probably had much to say to
each other, and a stenographic re
port of what they did say would i
unquestionably be interesting. i
