A NYMPH AT BAY AT CHIMNEY ROCK. ( ; \S A l"l .U ;\ Nymph-Hunting at Chimney Rock A Day of Exciting Sport in a Carolina Fairyland.

(By Private Richard E. Connell, Company A, 102d M. P.) Of all outdoor sports, nymph-hunting is perhaps the most fascinating. No game is rarer, shyer, fleeter, and few indeed are the regions where nymphs are now found, for along with pixies, trolls, fays, and satyrs they are rapidly becoming extinct. How• ever, Dr. Morse assured us that an occasion• al nymph is sighted, flitting through the dogwood groves of his estate, Chimney Rock, so Hugh and I, arming ourselves with our trusty Graflex (the only weapon for nymph- hunting), set forth one fair Saturday on a nymph-hunting expedition. Dr. Morse met us when we got off the Southern train at Hendersonville. It was an ideal day for nymph-hunting, a day which justified the poet's verse about Carolina having laughter in her sunshine. An expe• dition of veteran nymph-hunters was waiting in a motor-car, armed with kodaks and a very large basket, which Hugh, a novice at the sport, thought was for keeping the nymph in, but which subsequently develop• ed to be the lunch basket. The party in• cluded Mr. Bland, president of the Hender• sonville Board of Trade, Mr. Ewbank, Mr. Latham, Dr. Morse, Hugh and me. Ploughing With Flies. We whirred away over good roads toward Hickory Nut Gap, winding about wooded hills. Sometimes we saw a patch of ploughed land on the side of a steep moun• tain, which looked almost perpendicular. Mr. Ewbank said that the plough was drawn by huge flies, indigenous to that re• gion, as a fly was the only animal that could stick to the landscape. We didn't see any of the flies, but we had no doubt that they exist. It is a country of wonders. We passed the very spot where, if you pour a bucket of water on one side of a Jine that water will eventually reach the Missis• Chimney Rock Itself. sippi, while if you pour it just the other side of the line it will reach the Atlantic the mountain.

Hendersonville is a live, pretty, town on the Southern railroad, and easily accessible from Spartanburg by motor car. The roads around there are fine, thanks to Dr. Morse who is almost as enthusiastic about good roads as he is about Chimney Rock, which he and his brothers bought some years ago, and which they have devel• oped with excellent artistic sense.

So This is Hendersonville. The main street of Hendersonville is one any town could be proud of. It is 100 feet broad, with twenty feet sidewalks, but even these aren't broad enough, Dr. Morse told us, for when the throng of summer visitors is out in its white flannels there is hardly room enough for people to pass.

Hugh and I went out Saturday night to be jostled, but we managed to navigate up and down the main street several times with• out being unduly crowded. Hendersonville is one of the chief summer resorts of the South, and many leading fam• ilies have summer homes there.

One particularly charming section is Lau• rel Park, which has, among its attractions a fine artificial lake, with a bathing beach, a spring board, boats, water and everything. It is at the foot of a mountain of laurel. There are many pleasant little cottages to be had in Laurel Park and in and about Hen• dersonville, and quite a few have already been taken by the families of officers and men at Camp Wadsworth.

VISITORS. Isn't it nice when your best girl and her mother come down to pay you a visit? Of course they want to see your tent, and—isn't it a pleasant feeling as you walk down the street and all the boys "rubber" at you and salute as if you were an officer. Of course there is that slightly uncomfortable sensation as you suddenly remember that Joe Harris said he was going clown to the showers and Joe isn't at all careful about his costume on such occasions. 10 GAS ATTACK

SOLDIERS' CLUB CHAIRMAN.

Sergeant Geo. A. Hill, 5th Pioneers, is Elected Head of Enlisted Men's Organization.

Sergeant Geo. A. Hill, of the 5th Pioneer Infantry, was recently elected chairman of the committee of the Soldiers' Club.

While the club has been open for more than three weeks the committee has been acting informally. The new club commit• tee, which will consist of one enlisted man from each organization at the camp, will act as the administrative body under the di• rection of the War Camp Community Serv• ice, which will provide the necessary finan• ces. It is the idea to turn the club over to the club committee to conduct it for the best interests of the club, the officers of the Community Service acting in an advisory capacity.

It was the voice of the committee that too much praise cannot be given General Oliver Bridgman, of New York, for the work he has done to make the organization of the club a success. He has entirely given up his business to devote his time to the benefit of the enlisted men of the camp. The fact- that he was for many years the commander of Squadron A, the crack cavalry organiza• tion of the country, makes him practically well fitted to bring to light the actual needs of a soldier in a camp community.
