er Demand Than Ever.
e coming summer is likely
marked by a decided n.
„,e in tbo patronage of the
'main resorts of the South
’ than half aceutury the
' leofllieSouth who have had
means and the leisure have
accustomed to divide their
uiniers between the resorts of
e North and some of the older
es of the South.
In former years there was a
igular migration with the on
owing of warm weather from
he lowlands to the mountains.
j ie plantation families or the
Jwellers 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 sonte retreat
like that of the old Greenbrier
bile or some of the lessei i e
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
range, ami 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 many distinct ad
c images possessed by these suni
me rfuges. 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
trinities for sportsmen and temp
talions to the invalid to w r oo
health in close communion with
nature.
1 he winter migration from the
North to Florida, Georgia, the
1 m'olinas. Alabama and Louisi
mri lias become a permanent
1 1Ct in American life ; but the
boutii is not only an immense
s oiitariuni for the winter, but
also for the whole year. From
•Wivou ail d ])i X011 ' s jj ne c ] ear
Alabama and to Georgia
1,11 Appalachain range forms
sending lines of beauty.
N"t as bold as the Rockies,
sharply defined, perhaps,
the New England Mount
• 'i.iiigton, the ranges of the
l! ue llidtm are yet most pleas
"o nt their changing color un
•iHlerent skies, their sweep—
!/,' b bn ms, and, as they rise in
11 - 1 f ar °lina, their command
lng elevations.

rf,;iJ ize that in Western North
‘•'dii.a there are forty-three

fountain. Medicinal waters,
soothing to sutfereis from minor
ills and curative of long-stand
ing diseases, either in the shape
of a beverage or as a bath, gush
from among the rocks at many
points.
The White Sulphur Springs
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 Carolina
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 most of these springs di
rect railroad connection is had
with the cities of the North,
West and farther 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 ot 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’thy persons who have once
visited it.
The city of Asheville itself is a
monument of the appreciation of
he South as a sanitarum .Its pop
dation consists largely of tourists
or of those persons who, once see
ing it, have determined to make it
their home for life. Nearby is the
magnificent Biltmore estate, an
attraction which casual visitors
are permitted to enjoy. Then there
s the Cloud land Hotel, on the
top of Koan mcuntain. at an ele
vation of 6,400 feet, and coni'
mandit g a view of 50,000 miles
of territory in seven States—the
two Virginias, two Carolinas, Ken
tuck v. Tennessee and Georg : a.
From this place there is an easy
access by an excellent m untain
turnpike to o’her resorts, such as
Eseeola Inn. at Lionville, and the
accommodations at Blowing Rock
where spring atmosphere seems to
abide eternally By another route
•me reaches Waynesville, filled
with the healing orders of the fir
and presenting points of ad vantage
for observing magnificent views of
cliff, valley and mountain stream,
and the whole topped by Mount
Mitchel), Grandfather, Roan and
Clingman'e PeaK. Across the bor
der lies the Lookout mountain,
overhanging Chattanooga.
Not far away is Chieamauga,
which seems destined to be the
place of attraction for thou-ands
of hearts, if not of feet, during the
coming summer. The very fact
which has made Chieamauga a
mobilization center for armies of
the United S'ates is that which
will inducea large patronage of
the Southern m untain 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
outing" 1 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. —
