A Letter From Morehead.
With south western breezes til
ling the white sails ot « t The Liz
zig” and the waves of the sound
almost beckoning us to venture
forth, we begin our days outing to
interesting points near Morehead
jyj- (j
Fort Macon! Does that name
awaken any war memories in the
experiences- of Southerners? We
approach this relic of the war, (af¬
ter landing at the point of shore
which is most accessible) with
feelings akin to awe and sadness,
traversing, and are of meadordike
land we reach the keepers cottage,
an aged negro man greets us at the
gate, and we ask permission to en¬
ter the fort, the Captain is absent,
but after some demurring, we are
allowed to follow the colored veter¬
an to the entrance of the Fort.
We are impressed by masonry al¬
most perfect which it presents, as
it stands sumounted by a wall of
brick sunk far below the earth’s
surface surrounded by large blocks
of red sandstone. The draw
bridge which formerly spanned the
Moat has crumbled away and we
reach the door of the Fort by means
of a structure almost too frail to
support us.
Our attendant with much effort,
swings back tbe heavy doors on j
their gigantic hinges and we enter,
with the date April 25th, 1802 '
m
large black characters spanning
the arch above our heads.
We traverse with eager steps this
subterranean structure from the
lieadquarters of the officers, to the
sleeping rooms, dining rooms, ba
keries powder magazines, and dun
geons with mildewed walls and
port holes to admit uir, uucanuy
in the extreme!
We peer through port holes
acioss the moat aud see white I
dresses and bright colored parasols i
instead We of cordons hear laughter of armed far above sol- j
diers.
our heads iustead of the roll of the
cannon on the gun carriages. Ou
every side the dovo of peace has
left the soothing touch of her
wings. We are glad to emerge
from these gloomy depths into the
Ulterior court floated with suushin*
an ^ furnished with flights of wind
' n g ste P s °t solid sandstone finish
e dwith wrought iron hand railings,
" 0 ascen d these grand steps to see
the 2 nn carriages and get a view of
the broad Atlantic from the ram¬
parts above the carriages.
We wonder bow a Fort so im¬
pregnable in appearance, costing
the government $2,000,000 could
have been captured in two hours
time. The water flows into the
moat in underground passage!
from the Ocean and the little fish
play about in its sluggish depths
unmolested and safe.
Our boat off the shore looks in¬
viting for we are aware of noontime,
and know that delicious broiled
mackerel and trout fresh from the
hands of the chef are awaiting our
arrival. Dinner is ready and with
great aridity we satisfy our hunger
and each one declares we have been
served by a chef in reality. We
have a noble experience iu our trip
to the life saving Station and are
interested in its complete appoint¬
ments, yet to be christened as no
storm has ever marred the newness
of its setting, or dulled the bright¬
ness of its furnishings.
An emerald isle is just across
file sound from us and we sail there
f° r a brief sojourn to sen the United
States fisheries, and the wireless
telegraphy station. The spacious
building so beautifully draped in
the interior iu real fish nets with
cork and leads contains every spe
cies of equatic life from Algae to
the Octopus all preserved in alcohol
a H of which are found in the wa
ters about Morehead. These spec
* mens would interest the most ad
vanced scientist.
We leave this ideal sport so per
fectly kept with a sigh for it i is so
invitingly cool and restful,
Numerous green marshes are iu
the sound and as the boat glides
by we dist urbs a solitary marsh
hen and think of Lanier’s couplet
tbe ‘The marsh builds her nest'oti
watery sod.
T5I SNTSBPMSE, COVINGTON, QA.,
We build our homes on the
goodness of God.”
To complete this day a sail to
the surf and dip in the billows
seems to be most desired. This
is so invigorating and beguiling
we lose sight of the passing mo¬
ments.
Looking westward we are remin¬
ded of sunset and evening star,
also a distance of several miles
separates from our cottage by the
sound; then comes twilight and
the night bringing to a close one
of the most charming days of tbe
summer.

Doctors Said He Would Not Live.
Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes “Af.
ter doctoring for years with the best
physicians in Waynesburg, and still
getting worse, the doctors advised me if
I had any business to attend to I had
better attend to it at once, as
I could not possibly live another
month as there was no cure for me.
Foley’s Kidney Cure was recommended
to me by a friend and I immedialy sent
my son to the store for it and after tak
three bottles I began to get better and
continued to improve until I was en
lireiy well.''

DISPENSARY PAYS TAXES
FOR TERRELL COUNTY.
For Fifth Consecutive Year Dis¬
pensaries’ Profits Pay
All Bills.
Dawson, Ga m Sept. 5.— There
will be no county taxes levied in
Terrell next year. The board of
county commissioners so decided
today.
Their action in this matter meaus
that for five consecutive years the
citizens ot Terrell have had no
county tax to pay. The profits
from the operation of thedispei isa
Jies in the county more than suffice
for the maintenance of all institu¬
tions, which includes one of the
most excellent road-working sys
terns in the state.
Terrell bolds a unique position
in the matter of no tax levy. It is
the only county in the state, or
perhaps in the United States, where
the citizens are not required to
contribute support to the county’s
expenses.
