Thomas andiRyan but Judge SiuaoR-
ton swould not confirm thessale Gntll
thcysiad swoem that they mo7e ncuia-
teassted in tie Southern. This th-y
did. The So1th CarGiSa Legislature
passed an act ayear ago to prcvest
competing lisass from buying up 'rhe
property of Dhe other. The ifort
Rayal touches augusta, SpaUtanbalzsss,
Goesnville, Gescnwood and Ander-
son. The, Port Royal * Augusta IS
nowiz the hast:s of a receiver, AMI IS
authe1zed toIc sold Thomas con
trolls ethe bon&e Of this road andMll
buYia in. Iihet will glMe them a
thnoasa route suom Anderson to Port

ity,that theyAwI buy the Blue Ridge
in a fex mon4lss. Thomas tcontros

A Gertlemaiir&ho IS well up .osa
railroad affairs .sold the Jou1nal cor
respondent today that Thomes and
Ryan msuld begin in short while to
run through traiac from Augusta 70
Walhalla. This,will be dome as soon
as theysget thelBaue Ridge, and it is
good,sign that the Blue Ridge, will
be extended torkcoxville as Was the
orignaliintention. Beyond Maalalla
the roadfhas been pgraded two-thirds
Of the way over ,the mountains to
KnoWvllae.
Some of the finest tunnels in the
world can be found on this route and
the masonry work is something re.
markable. The yoaG was never cOal-
pleted onaacount ofthe breaking out
of the war, .aad then.efter more than
ST., 100000 had been spent. The
road from Knoxville to Maryvlile,
Tenn, of the same system, has been
completed and is now an operation.
1t is more than probable now that
this extension will be made as every
thing points to the end.
Some months ago the "Blg Four
had the route surveyed from Chicago
to Maryville at the earnest solicitation
of Thomas and Ryan. lit is stated
further that the Nanderbilts are inter
