Breezes From “Mitchell’s Frosty Summit” Cool

Asheville, N, C,, 1 -
S , is jealous of At
For that matter nearly every city
go;h:orfi:uct:u is jealous of Atlanta
se or another—all sim
ply because of Atlanta’s pre-emi
nence in the South. But Asheville is
jealous just because Atlanta has en
joyed cool weather all summer and
Atlapta citizens have really suffered
no discomfort during the entire
heéahed term.
‘limate is a touchous
R abaville subject with
In Atlanta delightful climate is
taken as a matter of course, and it Is
only mentioned incidentally here be
cause of the myriad of other big
things discussed.
But climate is Asheville's sole stock
in trade.
And when an estimable citizen of
Atlanta, Frederic J. Paxon, president
of the Atlanta Convention Bureau,
returned home from a two weeks’
trip to Asheville and dared to raise
his voice to the extent that tne
weather is as cool and comfortable
here as at Asheville, and that some
thing ought to be said about it in a
booklet or two, Asheville went all to
pieces and started to throwing tne
ball all over the lot.
One of her enterprising newspaper
men took up the cudgel and began
belaying right and left. And to his
credit—newspaper men seldom re
ceive due credit—he made out a case
that is at least interesting and one
that indirectly advertises Atlanta’'s
refreshing climate in the summer to
an even greater degree.
And when Asheville has-to admit
Atlanta as a rival in climate that 1s
in itself a big thing for this city.
Even though the newspaper scrive
per used up his full stock of irony
in discussing Atlanta as a rival, he
opened up a controversy which has
brought out the startling fact that
Atlanta this summer is not only a
real rival of Asheville, but all things
eonsidered is a more pleasant city
in which to spend an entire summer
than is the North Carolina resort.
Now, dashbing this Asheville feller,
Jet's read his article first and then
read the figgers. Here is the article
which appeared in the Asheville Citi
zen, Monday, August 21:
Here's bad news.
Asheville, long recognized as the
South’s premier summer resort, 1s
to have a nearby rival
And it will be a formidable com
petitor in the field of attracting
pleasure seekers,
~ 7 Atlanta is going to bid for this
patronage. No less a personage
' than Col. Frederic J. Paxon, presi
. dent of the Atlanta Convention Bu
" reau and prominent Georgia mer
chant; is behind the movement to
‘transform Atlanta into a resort |
city. |
His lungs_filled with Ashevillle
' air, Colond Paxon recently re
. turned home aftera couple of weeks
here. One of his first callers was |
a Georgian reporter. Still exhila
rated from the effects of the moun
tain breezes, Colonel Paxon made
the startling announcement that |
Asheville’s climate is in no way su
perior to that of Atlanta. He in
sists. that the time has come for
Atlanta to go into the resort busi- |
ness. And the tseorgian reporter,
enjoying the breeze of the colonel's {
_electric fan, agreed that it was,
indeed, pleasant in Atlanta. |
*‘ It is great news to Atlanta peo
ple. Under the delusion that they ‘
have been coming here to enjoy a
guperior climate, they must now
realize that they are carrying coals
top Newcastle or some such thing. |
fhey haveb een spending thou- ‘
sands of dollars a month each sum
. mer to live in Asheville without ‘
knowing that they could have fared
~ just as well at home. Goodness |
gracious, what a mistake they have
made.
And just suppose (olonel Paxon
had not come to Asheville. They
never would have discovered their ‘
( error. It remained for the Con
. yention Bureau president to dis- |
. cover that the breezes from the
' sun baked sides of Stone Mountain
. are just as pleasant as those which
come from Mitchell’s frosty sum
' mit. And none of the thousands
of Atlanta's people ever knew be- ‘
fore Colonel Paxon made the dis- |

> covery that the views from the
Candler Building roof are just as
inspiring and awesome as the many
colored panorama which is un
~ folded beneath the eyes of one
- standing on Pisgah's Peak.
| Now that the colonel has made
the discovery, many Atlanta people
will wonder why it is they never ‘
found out that it is just as pleas
ant to sleep between the steaming
sheets of their beds at home as it
is beneath the brankets of moun
tain inns and boarding houses.
They are under many obligations
to the colonel for his enlighten
ment. They should now plan to
send him to Atlantic City. Maybe
he would announce upon his return
that the Piedmont Park lake is ab
| solutely and positively just as fine
a body of water as anything the |
' New Jersey resort can brag about. |
| No one ever deaied that Atlanta
abounds in air. But reference to
~ the Atlanta air hss never before in
~ cluded encomiums as to its chiili- ‘
- ness, On the conwrary— ]
- But that would be going too far.
~ There are too many Atlanta people
here who haven't heard of the colo
nel's discovery to make any such ‘
~intimation. And they must not be
offended. Especially must they not
be rubbed the wrong way by Ashe
~ ville now that they have a resort
of their own just as pleasant as the |
- one which they are Visiting. ‘
Now, then, on the very Sunday ‘that
the Asheville writer was exuding nis
ironical shafts, Sunday, August 24,
the difference in temperatuge between
the city swept by the breezes from
“the sun baked sides of Stone Moun
tain” and the city cooled by breezes
from “Mitchell's frosty summit” was
exactly three degrees, according to
the United States weather bureau.
The average mean temperature for
Asheville on that day, only 73 de
and for Atlanta 76 degrees. |
~ Cool and delightful in “wbnderful"!
Asheville on that day, only 73 de
grees? Yes, wondeeful. And Atlanta,
far to the south in Georgia, only 76
degrees. No wonder Mr. Paxon waxed
enthusiastic over®Atlanta’s climate.
‘And proof conclusive that Atlanta
really is a rival of the North Caro
lina resort city in temperature. No
layman living can tell the difference
of three degrees in heat.
Then to take the figures on the
other dates mentioned. On August
18, the date The Georgian story was
published, the temperature in Ashe
ville was 72 and m Atlanta 77 de
grees. A difference of only five de
grees. TFhe next day the figures were
70 and 76, only six degrees. All
through the month of 'August—usuai
ly the hottest month in the year,
Asheville has been cdoler by only a
few degrees than Atlanta.
Who wants to pay out “thousands
of dollars” for such a difference in
temperature? Three degrees does not
mean hot sheets in one town ana
blankets in another. As a matter of
fact, blankets have been used in At
lanta on nights this summer prob
ably as frequently as they have in
Asheville,
Mr. Paxon does not claim any ocean
bathing beaches for Atlanta, nor does
he claim any snow capped moun
tains. But he does claim that the
weather in Atlanta all during the
summer of 1919 has been cool, pleas
ant, comfortable, refreshing, and that
as far as getting relief from any
heated period is concerned it has not
been necessary for a single Atlanta
person to depart from the ectiy for
the Carolinas or anywhere else. |
And in this opinion he is backed
by 250,000 Atlanta citizens who have
remained here and are qualified to
take the witness stand. :

One of Group of 500 Caroline
Islands May Become U. S. }
Coaling Station, ‘
In view of all the agitation stirred
Lp by the navy department over the
division of the formerly German Car.
oline Islands in the Pacific, it begins
to look as if the United States is go.
img to get something tangible out of
the war at that—namely, the hitherto
little known island of Yap.
Yap is one of the group of 500 or so
tiny islands making up the Carolines,
and before the war was used by the
Cerman administrator as the govern
ing center. The itland is important
to the United States because of its
value as a wireless and coaling sta
tion.
Ordinary laymen can be excused for
pleading ignorance to the locality of
Yap when President Wilson himself
admitted to the Senators comprising
the Foreign Relations Committee that
he had never heard of it until he re
turned from Paris and the navy de
partment wanted to know who was
going to get Yap. Up until that time
either Britain or Japan was going to
get it, but now it appears that the
Stars and Stripes may shortly be
hoisted there.
After the war with Spain it was
thought that the Caroline Islands
wculd be acquired by this country
along with the Philippines. How
ever, the deal did not materialize,
and in 1899 the group was bought by
Germany for approximately $12,-
000,000.
HAD IRISH KING.
Some years later an American
woman placed a valuation of $9,500,-
000 on Yap alone, claiming it as part
of her husband's estate. Her hus
band, one David O'Keefe, an itinerant
Irishman, had heen blown up on the
little island in a gale back in the sev~
enties and—
“The natives there liked his hair, '
Tl ey liked his Irish smile, |
So they crowned him King Panjau’s
drum, |
Phe nabob of thom all—" |
~ For thirty years O’'Keefe ruled Yap,
and upon his death the attorney gen.
eral of the United States ruled that
lthe island was the property of the
widow. There was some talk of send
!lnr a warship there to take posses
gion, but it was never done,
‘ The Caioline Islands have for many
years been a matter of much research
‘and scientific discussion. ¥or on
'many of the lislands are massive
stone ruins, indicating that at one
time a people of high civilization oe
lcupled them. -
| FIVE-TON COINS FOUND,
‘ Numerous other evidences of the
elvilization that once flourished there
have been found on the Island of
Yap itself, These include coins made
of stone, some of which have been
found to weligh five tons,
On Yap are great stone terraces,
embankments and roads of neatly
laid stone blocks, stone graves, stone
‘ platforms and enormous chambers
ireec-mhnng council lodges with gables
and tall pillars, frequently carved,

reef thirty-five miles long by five

LONDON, Aug. 30.—“ One of the
greatest causes of the falling pf ex

Sir George Paish, leading British

Although absent from his regular

vears, the president of that company
has consented to lend him to the
Georgia Division of the American
Cotton Association for the duration of
the present campaign. 1

admirable equipment. His long as-!

with the Food Administration has
given him, one of the broadest ac- |
quaintances in the State. So w«:ll‘
known is he that a letter was pecently
mailed from a down State point whose
only address was a picture of Major
McClatchey pasted on the envelope-—
and it came safely to its designation.
The campaign for membership will
go forward rapidly. Mr, McClatchey
is surveying the field to line up hlsl
