on Hlo Estate in Charlotte
County.
Every now and then there com os
the query. "Where is Patrick Henry
hurled?" and tourists in Richmond.
Va constantly ask to be shown hi*

burg. Va. near tbe border line which
separates Charlotte and Campbell

Hill from tbe peculiar color of the
soil In that vicinity. When Patrick
Henry bought the place it compris'd
•bout thtee thousand five hundred

saving in tbe neighborhood that poor
land and Patrick Henry could never
be mentioned together-ooru grows
there aa high as a man on horseback
there Is s general air of smiling fields
and abundant prosperity. Its situa-
tion in early times was very remote.
Neighbors were few one of tbe near-
est being tbe celebrated John Ran-
dolph of Roanoke who lived in tala
chosen solitude fifteen miles away.
Red Hill is now ow ned by Henry a
grandson William Wirt Henry a
gentleman of the "old school.” He

•TWB<W. This volcanic lighthouse is
eight mile* Inland from the port
o( Acajutim. It Is a veritable pillar of
cloud by day. and the flash of Its light
by night has been valuable to marin-
ers for yeara. It can be seen far out
at sea. and a burst of flame has gone
upward every seven minutes without
the variation of a second tor many
years
“The few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by hr id.eg their watches
and timing the outburst of flame.
’ A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
est the volcano and no skipper ob-
jects. He knows that the volcano la
