There ie no medicine in the world which can beat simply sitting by the little tavern at Clayton and drinking in the moun tain air, listening to the splashing of cold streams, and looking up at old Screamer! 8* 9* Pine Mountain. A A nice stocK of General sierchan- ' (Use. When around Pine /'“Mountain give us a !t call and IN THE MOUNTAINS Atlanta Journal. Mr. Eugene Mitchell has been spending a week at Clayton, in Ra bun county. He talks interesting ly—enthusiastically—of that sec tion. ‘‘There is not,” said lie ‘"a health ier spot on earth than Rabun coun ty. I got back my appetite and gained flesh galore. There is life and strength in the breezes of Ra bun. Last Saturday night and Sunday we had log fires in Clayton, it was so cold. “The supply of speckled trout in the mountain streams is short. The people up there say that the storms of last winter choked the streams with gushing torrents which killed hundreds of these fish by beating them against the rocks. This, they say, accounts for the ■ short supply.” Mr. Mitchell says that the speck led trout are not natives of the mountain streams of northeast. Georgia . They were brought from bevond the Blue Ridge mountains many years ago and propagated ill the streams on tliis side of those mountains. They are just as-fioe, however, as the ultra-mouij|ain speckled trout. ... Mr. Mitchell also says that the people of Clayton believe that the Black Diamond railway” will yet pi;.be built. ■ This line was projected before the war. The route extends from Port Royal, S.C., up through Walhalla, round through Clayton, and through Rabun Gap to Knox- ' Vllle. . Some' of thejmusbnry where the old road was worked can be seen near Clayton, and "is magnifi cent, About $8,000,000 was ex pended in work on this road in the byng ago. Engineers are now in the field locating the line and the people of Rabun tliinx the Black Diamond Railroad” will yet be a reality. It is between 3 qnd 400 miles from Port Royal to Knoxville via ' the route of the “ Black Diamond,” and very much 0$ the line was graded years ago. If bpiltdt would make the distance by rail between Port Royal and Charleston and points an the coast of South Carolina to Knoxville sev eral hundred miles shorter. There is also talk up in Rabun about building a railroad from Walhalla. through Clnyton. Rabun county, Towns, Union f Far 11 in right on to Chattanooga. Mr. Mitchell «avs Clayton is a beautiful little town of 800 people, nestling in a valley, with Screamer towering 8,200 feot on one side Md and another giant whose name I have forgotten on the other. The scenery about Clayton is of the wildest and most picturesque de scription. The richest river lands in Georgia lie in the valleys along the streams. The are worth from $76 to $126 an acre, but are not for sale. ClaYton is 17 miles from Tallulah Falls, reached only by private conveyance over the rough est road in the world. Worried, worked down, with no appetite, off in flesh, Mr. Mitch ell penetrated to the heart of Ra bun. After ten days he returned, rosy, strong, ten pounds heavier, feel ing years younger, and with an ap petite* that is almost ravenous/’ ; Wbat a tribute is all this to Ra.
