GUIDE-BOOK -FOR HEALTH AND WEALTH-SEEKERS, AND PEN-PICTURES OF WATERING PLACES, BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, AND POINTS OF INTEREST, ON THE ATLANTA AND CHAR LOTTE AIR-LINE RAILWAY. THE territory embraced by North Carolina, South Carolina, and Northeast Georgia has long been denominated THE SWITZERLAND OF AMERICA, so grand and picturesque are its numerous towering mountains, (whose lofty peaks pierce the clouds), with beautifully rolling hills between, separated by lovely and delightful valleys traversed by silvery streams, which have worked and worn their tortuous way between the hills, and the precipitous or perpendicular mountain sides. In addition to these romantic and awe inspiring attractions, this extraordinary section of our Union contains others more inviting, far greater and far more highly to be prized, in its THOUSANDS OF MINERAL SPRINGS, unsurpassed in the world for the variety and degree of their remedial and curative properties, which gush or trickle from almost every mountain and hill-side, or quietly rise in the enchanting valleys between, contributing their invigorating, health-restoring waters to the enjoyment and luxury of the pleasure-seeker, or the relief and restoration to health of the suffering invalid. The following pages will convey to all in search of pleasure or health-restoring resorts or waters, valuable reliable information as to the towns and objects of local or historical interest along this line of travel, or that can be conveniently reached from them; and, besides, scientific analyses of the waters of many of the springs -so that those seeking rest and recreation, and the afflicted, may be aided in making a selection of a beautiful and quiet little home, surrounded by unbounded scenery, and numerous mines of precious metals. In addition, the route to each is given, with the distance from Atlanta; and, where advised, the cost of entertainment. All the most valuable remedial mineral springs in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, lie IMMEDIATELY ON THE PIEDMONT AIR-LINE RAILWAY, or very near it; or are easily reached by some one of the many closely connecting lines. Its outfit in Palace Sleeping Cars is unexcelled, if not unequalled, on this continent for comfort and convenience, or the real enjoyment afforded the traveler, while the love of the elegant and beautiful and gorgeous in design and execution, and of decorative art, is fully gratified by the interior finish. It is THE GRAND TRUNK LINE between the great metropolis of the United States-New Yorkand Florida and the South Atlantic States, and carries the traveler through the great sheep-walks and gold fields of North Georgia, and introduces them to the FINEST SCENERY JN AMERICA. No line in the Union excels it in the smoothness and superior condition of its track, the perfect safety of its machinery, the excellence and luxurious appointment of its passenger coaches, and the pains-taking attentiveness of all in any way connected with its business. THE PIEDMONT AIR-LINE RAILWAY is one of the best appointed and most luxurious, and the swiftest in the South. THE MIDDLE SOUTHERN AND SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES. It may be safely asserted that there is not, on the globe, any territorial area of equal extent possessing a greater diversity of topography, climate and soil, so great a variety of vegetation, such VAST AND VARIED MINERAL RESOURCES, and such stupendous water-powers as that bounded on the north and west by the Potomac, Ohio and Mississippi rivers; on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, and on the east by the Atlantic ocean. Taken as a whole, the fertility of the soil is, to say the least, not surpassed; so that husbandry in all its branches (the true and sure source of individual independence, and foundation on which national growth and power are built), must always prove profitable. All the various productions of the soil-the grasses, grains, fruits, flowers and timbers, common to the highest temperate and semitropical climates are, or may be, produced. Coal and iron-the Devil's Court-House, Webster, N. C., reached via two most potent material agents which have aided in advancing Great Britain to her proud commercial and financial supremacy, enabling her to support a martial array whose drumbeat encircles. the world, are present in exhaustless quantities, under circumstances more favorable for quiet utilization at the lowest cost, than exist in any other part of the world. Within the boundary above outlined fully one-half the present cotton supply of the world is produced, with a possible fifty-fold increase; and so great and so favorable are the conditions necessary for its speedy and cheap manufacture into all kinds of thread and fabrics, that with adequate capital, and educated labor, this important industry could be engaged in to a limitless extent and value-and the vast population this would demand and concentrate, can be abundantly fed from the products of the soil included within the same limits, and maintain a condition of robust vigor and healthfulness unsurpassed on the globe. Besides these comparatively exhaustless resources necessary for the production of food and clothing, there exist within this same richly endowed area, gold and silver, and other valuable and rare metals and minerals, and diamonds and other precious stones, of unknown extent and incomputable value; grand mountain ranges, some of whose peaks rise nearly seven thousand feet above oceanlevel, with beautiful lakes on their tops, and innumerable streams rushing impetuously down and between the sides of the mountains, forming cascades, falls and cataracts, and flowing through wide spreading, fertile and delightful valleys, affording landscape views which, for number, variety, and rare beauty and grandeur, cannot be surpassed. And, as if Providence would leave nothing undone needed to promote the prosperity and power of the country, thousands of MINERAL SPRINGS OF RARE REMEDIAL PROPERTIES are to be found in nearly every portion of it, but in the largest number, and of the greatest medicinal value, in the Blue Ridge region of North and South Carolina, and North Georgia. These bold and ever-flowing springs are hid away among the mountains remote from the cares and bustle of business, yet easy of access, where their restorative, revitalizing waters give to those who visit and use them, renewed energies, and, as it were, a new lease on life. teen. GEORGIA. Occupying a front and commanding position in this grand group of sovereign States, is Georgia, the youngest of the original thirHer territory is ample-exceeded by few of the States, and embraces every variety of topography, climate, soil, productions and mineral and vegetable resources common to all, and extent and capacity of available water-powers right where the metals abound, and the cotton grows, surpassing any other, together with |
