Have Eyes on a
SUMMER IN THE SOUTH.
lts Mountain Resorts to be in
Greater Demand Than Ever.
The coming summer is likely
t 0 be marked by a decided in
crease in the patronage of .the
mountain resorts of the South.
For more than half a century the
people of theSouth who have had
the means and the leisure have
been accustomed to divide their
summers between the resorts of
the North and some of the older
ones of the SuUth.
In former years there, was a
regular migration with the on
coming of warm weather from
the lowlands to the mountains.
x be plantation families or the
dwellers in cities of the plain
made the pilgrimage, enlivened
with the change to out-of-door
life on the route, and spent at
least a month in some retreat
like that of the old Greenbrier .
White or some of the lesser re
sorts whose name is only a mem
ory.
Wealthy families from New
Orleans or Mobile traveled by
steamboat and in their private
equipages- overland to the
heights of the Appalachian
radge, and there remained until
the on-coming of cooler weather
or continued their happy jour
ney to Saratoga or one of the
seaside resorts just in their be
ginnings. That was in the days
before railroads had made acces
sible and had aided in the devel
opment of many resorts which
now rank with the best that the
North has or ever had.
There are raanv distinct ad-
•»
vantages possessed by these sum
mer r fuges. Though many of
them have all the conveniences
of table and appointments, they
are still close to the wildness of
the woods. Within the walk of a
well arranged hotel are magnifi
cent stretchers of scenery, oppor
tunities for sportsmen and temp
tations to the invalid to woo
health in close communion with
nature.
The winter migration from the
North to Florida, Georgia, the
Carolinas. Alabama and Louisi
ana- has become a permanent
life ; but the
Sdu'tKrs riol'onjy an immense
smitarium for the winter, but
also for the whole year. From
Mason and Dikon’s line clear
into Alabama and to Georgia
the --Appalachain range forms
unending lines of beauty.
Not as bold as the Rockies,
nor as sharply defined, perhaps,
: ‘s the New England Mount
W ashington, the ranges of the
fclue Kidt«e are yet most pleas
mgm their changing color un
der different skies, their sweep
ing forms, and, as they rise in
Noith ( arolina, their command
ing elevations.
Comparatively few persons
realire that in Western North
Caiolina there are forty-three
mountains more than 6,000 feet
dgh, towering above others
"ging fiom 4,000 feet down,
and one of the chief attractions
a ’out these mountains is that
le y have nothing of the worn
M'Pearance of the better known
'7‘ , S ° f the East > but are full
Pleasant surprisesand giv<
oppoitunity for everchanging
them 9to1 ‘ i,U whoidleß a,IIOn P
r nL°Ji° Ve, \ the App.lachain
» H ieally an immense
fountain. Medicinal waters,
soothing to stifle re is from minor
ills and curative of long-stand
ing diseases, either in the shape
of a beverage or as a bath, gush
from am mg the rocks at many
points.
The White Sulphur Springe:
in West Virginia, the Hot
Springs, the Warm Springs, the
healing Springs in Bath county,
the Old Sweet Springs, Rock
bridge Alum in Virginia, the
Hot Springs of North Caro ina
and others at Lincolnton and
Shelby, N. C., Cross Hill, S. C.,
Sweet Water and Bowden, near
Atlanta, are a few, of the iron,
chalybeytefor sulphur springs
belonging to the Virginias, the
Carolinas, Tennessee and Geor
gia. situated in healthy places
and surrounded by picturesque
views which are attracting ev
ery year a greater number of
visitors than before.
To of these springs di
rect railroad connection is had
with the cities of the North,
West and ferther South, and
each year finds improvements
and additional attractions, none
of which, however, mar the
beauties which have been creat
ed by nature.
Typical of them all, perhaps
are those in the viciirty of Ashe
ville. N. U. The development of
'hat section as a health resort for
both the summer and winter is
largely due to the enterprise of
the railroads and the de'ight of
wea'tby pers' ns who have once
visited it.
The city of Asheville itself is a
monument of the appreciation of
the South as a sanitarium .Its pop
ulation consists largely of tourists
or o* those persons who, once see
ing it, have determined to make it
their home for life. Nearby is the
magnificent Biltmore estate, an
attraction v\ hich casual visitors
are permitted to enjoy. Then there
s the Cloudland Hotel, on the
top of Koan mcuntain. at an ele
vation of 6,400 feet, and coni*
mandirg a view of 50,000 miles
of territory in seven States—the
two Virginias, two Carolinas. Ken
tucky. Temessee and Georg’a.
From this place there is an easy
access by an excellent m untain
turnpike too’her resorts, such as
E-ieeola Inn, at Lionville, and the
accommodations at Blowing Rock
w here spring atmosphere seems to
abide eternally By another route
one reaches Waynesville, filled
with the healing orders of the fir
and presenting points of advantage
for observing magnificent views of
cliff, valley and mountain stream,
and the whole topped by Mount
Mitchell, Grandfather, Roan, and
Clingman’s Peak. Across the bor
der lies the Lookout mountain,
overhanging Chattanooga.
Not far away is Chicamauga,
which seems destined to be the
place of attraction for thou-ande
of hearts, if not of feet, during the
coming summer. The very fact
which has made Chicamauga a
mobilization center for armies of
the United S'ates is that which
will inducea large patronage of
the Southern mountain resorts
this year
No one can doubt that timid
ity on the part of many persons
will lead them to select the
mountains for their summer
outinp instead of the seashore.
The resorts along the coast will
probably have a good business,
but they must share to a greater
extent than ever that business
with the secure, health-giving,
comfortable and picturesque re
sorts of the Appalachain.—
