For several days past civil engineers and a landscape architect have been busy laying off the grounds in the mountain near Hanging Rock and Moore’s Knob for the new summer resort being developed there by D.D. Smith. The engineering party are making headquarters at the Piedmont Springs hotel. Work on the highway to the site of the new resort is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and on Monday the county highway commission loaned the construction forces a tractor and road machine to help carry on the work.
E.S. Draper of Charlotte, engineer and landscape architect in charge of the laying out of the grounds for the resort, and who has had wide and varied experience in this kind of work, stated yesterday that he never visited a finer or more ideal spot for a summer resort than the one around Hanging Rock.
