rallloun's Vision.

Way back in the 30s the Hon. John
c. Calhoun made a tour on horseback
and on foot across the mountains which
separate Tennessee from South Caro-
lima. He footed it over Stumphouse
Mountains, Smoky Mountain and
through Rabun Gap, and expressed the
opinion that nature seems to have left
just enough room for passage way
for the construction of a railroad to
bring the products of the growing West
to the tidewater Of the South Atlantic.
Some time after this, and largely
through his influence, the Blue Ridge
railroad scheme was inauguratcd. Sew
cral millions of dollars were expended
in grading and tunnelling, when the
project fell through because of the wal
and because the time was not ripe.
The work done stands to-day-a gran
itc monument to the sagacity OF the
men of half q century ago. The Black
Diamond will utilize the work done by
the fathers. The rich, tceming West
is about to burst its way through the
mountains and enrich us with her
manifold products. The God who
fashioned Rabm Gap is the same who
fashioned Port Royal harbor-onc for
the other. Where Calhoun walked the
iron horse will rush along transporting
the coal that will feed the furnaces of
the world. Calhoun, of course, was a
visionary and a dreamer. The time
may be near at hand when those who
are benefited will thank God there have
been Missionaries and dreamers.-Pal-

Starve to Death, or Rob!

WAslIINGToN, Nov. 4.-The following
letter from Lieut.. Col. Carbonne, OF
the Cuban army now ut Havana, has
been received by Secretary Quesada, OF
the Cuban delegation here, who has
laid it before Secretary Alger. with an
urgent request that steps be taken to
relieve the extreme distress it sets
forth. Lieut.. Col. Carbonnc is the in
ventor Of the explosive known as car
bonite, and is regarded as the repre-
sentative at Havana of the Cuban
leaders and forces i'll the field. He
writes as follows, the letter bearing
date of Havana, October 20:
81 am just back from the camp OF
Gen. Mcnocal, chief Of our army in
! this province, and let me tell you i'll
some faint way the true state OF our
poor and suffering army, and the con-
sequences that may come to the coun-
try if we do not find in short time Il
remedy which will save us. The
Cuban army is dying with hunger
Such terrible words in no way exag-
gcrate the actual conditions. Gen.
Menocal took me to see his weak, tot
tering and squalid soldiers-made so
on account of the want Of food and the
actual necessaries of life-and to think
that these men were in such state by
reason of obeying their chiefs, who de-
sire first of all to respect the orders OF
the American Government. The Cuban
leaders in camp told me to tell you that
they will maintain resignation and pa
ticnce, and, above all, faith i'll the
American Government and the worthy
President Mckinley, but at the same
time let it be understood that we are
hungry; that we have in the towns and
fields Of Cuba all that is needed i'll the
way of food, but that we arc forbidden
to touch it by reason OF the peace
order. They do not get from Havana
one fourth of what they need, and oul
soldiers are dying at the gates OF the
city for lack Of food. What shall we
doe The time will come when we can
not bear it any longer, and then what
will be the result. returned discon-
solate to Havana and tried to get Sue
cor, but the people are already so pool
that obtained nothing. We went to
the American commission, which re-
cciycd lis very well and offered us
much, but up to the present time they
have given us nothing. It by misf0r-
tune we are driven by the necessities
of our army to get by force what we
need so as not to die Of hunger, will
the people of the United States con-
demn us, or will the nations OF the
world, which do not know what is hap
pening, judge us unworthy OF the SYM
pathy of the American people? We
are very happy to hear your assuran-
ccs as to our Republic. We have never
doubted the good faith and generosity
of The United States. To it we owe
the complete liberty which we have
been unable in many years to establish
by ourselves. -
Secretary Alger said he would lcol,
into the matter and would telegraph
the commission ut Havana such in
structiclls as were appropriate to the
case.

Aaron Items.

know thatyou have wondered many
times, Mr.. Editor, what has become Of
lis people up here, and can answer it:
We have been at work so hard trying
to gather the rotten 4-ccnt cotton, that
we almost forgot there was such IL
thing as newspaper. Although we
have been quiet, we believe we can
truthfully say that there is not another
community in Anderson County that
can excel this one, taking things all
around as we come to them. Aaron is
situated on the low ridge, lying between
Six-and-J Twenty Creek and the two
Beaverdam Greeks, or, as known by
some, Rocky River, and whose gentle
slopes are covered by the snowwhite
fields of cotton, interspersed alternatc7
ly with the brown-loolling fields of
golden corn, which. ere long, will be
gathered into the many large gamers
which are awaiting their reception
with pleasure. The farmers of our
little community are in easy reach Of
five stationary gins by which they may
have their cotton ginncd. They are us
follows: Messrs. Watson g. Son are
running two gins, one steam and the
other a water-power gin, the latter of
which is situated on the same spot
known as the "Old Watson Mill Place"
Mr.. d. B. McPhail is running a very
successful gin near the old Rush stand.
Messrs. Newell and Neal are also ruin
ming gins at their respective places OF
business. and i'll addition to this Mr..
"Jep" Dalrymple, of Septus, is kept
quite busy with his travelling gin. So,
Mr.. Editor, you see we raise lots of cot
ton. We are situated near the center
of section of country bounded by
four Churches-each a different de-
nomination-with a good school house
at each.
Mr.. Major Jones, of Belton, accom-
panied by his sister, Miss Callie, paid
us flying call last Sunday afternoon.
Major is going to take the place of Mr..
j. H. Leach in the blacksmith and
wood shop of this place. Miss Callie
has an unusually pleasant smile on her
face, and it may be that she is going to
get married. Ifit is trpe we can say
that he who is so .'lucky" as to get her,
will certainly get a wife worth having.
Major says that now as he has got
back "Therc will be hot times in the
Old Town now.'
Mrs. Mollie Mcconnell, of Motfatts-
vile, has been visiting relatives in this
community. Her health has been
greatly improved while she has been
in our midst. She was accompanied
by two of her children.
Mr.. j. b. Gentry made flying trip
to Fort Hill last Saturday.
Our soldier boys returned to Colum-
bia last Friday to be there at the roll
call. We hope they will be mustered
out and allowed to return home. for we
miss them very much.
Misses Hattie Guyton, Maggie Kay,
accompanied by Mr.. .Furman Kay,
visited relatives in Honea Path last
week.
We hear that Mr.. Riley, who was
elected as teacher at Hopewell, has re-
sirned on ,ccount of his had health.
and that Mr.. l.. VI. Mahat1ey, their for
mer teacher, has been reelected. We
are glad that Mr.. Mahaffey is going to
be III our midst for one more year any
how. Mr.. Mahatfcy has worked up Il
hourishing school at lIopewell, and we
wish that he may be successful in his
labors in the future. VELocISsIMo.

Reno, New, July 14.-Passenger train
No. 1, east-bound, was held up last
night one mile east of Humboldt. The
express car was blown up and the
safe blown open. The robbers escaped.
1t is not given out how much they Sc

When the train arrived at a point one

white man covered the engineer with
guns, stopped the train, and going back
to the express car they blew it up with

it's contents, which was but a trifie and
decamped. The train went on to
Winnemucca, where the damaged car
was set out and express matter trans
ferred to a box car and then proceeded
east.

arrested. A strong posse from Winnie
mucca is in pursuit.

100000 MORE.
Santa Fe Authorizes Expendi-
ture of This Amount.
For Construction of Locomotive
Erecting Shop in Topeka.
MEANS MUCH TO CITY.
TOpeka's Shops viii Be Among
Worlds Largest.
Santa Fe VIII Then Build All
Its Locomotives.
MEANS MUCH TO CITY.

A new locomotive erecting shop will
be built by the Santa Fe company in
this city as part of the general shops
of the road at a cost of about 5000, 600.
The new shop will not be built before
next year, and it may possibly be the
spring of the following year before it
is started. 1t has been decided on, how
ever, and the announcement that it will
be built is made authentically.
The new shop will be built east Of
the old King bridge works building,
which is now used as a combined boil
er, blacksmith and locomotive erecting
shop. 1t will be of brick and stone
with a slate roof, and will be con-
structed with all the requirements of
modern locomotive erecting shop. Its
cost Will amount to at least 5000, 900, and
it may possibly go over this figure.
track directly connecting with the
main line through the yards will be run
through one side of the new shop, and
engines needing remodeIing or repair
ing and Overhauling will be run into
the shop and afterWard placed for work
by means of an immense crane. This
crane will be a feature of the new shop
building, being as large and powerful
as any of the cranes used in the big To-
comotive works of the east. The foun-
in the most substantial manner, and
will itself cost several thousand dol
lars.
Besides the machinery now in use in
the shops. much new machinery will be
purchased in equipping the new shop.
The room in the old shop building now
occupied by the locomotive erecting de-
partment will be used by the boiler
making and blacksmithing departments,
both of which are now crowded for
room.
The building of the new shop will
mean that the Santa Fe company will
not only continue to make Topeka the
chief mechanical point the entire
system, but will discontinue the pur-
chase of engines from eastern works
and build all it's locomotives here. Not
only will locomotives be built here for
use on the Santa Fe road proper, but
on the other Santa Fe system lines as
we'll
Since President Ripley assumed the
mana cement of the road this end has
been gradually neared. During the past
IS months the shops in this city have
turned out on an average one new en-
gine a month.
No further improvements in the me-
chanical departments of any Of the di-
vision points will be made by the COM
pany With the exception of light re-
pair work, all the mechanical work will
be concentrated at the shops in this
city.
The erection of the new building, with
the buildings now in use, will give the
Santa Fe and Topeka one of the Iarg-
est railroad shops in the world.

FIVE MAIL DELIVERIES.
Two More Carriers to Be Added to
the Topeka Force

Commencing September L there will
be five deliveries of mail per day on
Kansas avenue and the adjacent bust
ness portion of the city. The last de-
livery will be made between 5 and $50
o'clock each evening.
The fifth delivery will distribute the
mail which arrives in this city late in
the afternoon, and which now is held
until the following morning. Much of
this mail is important, and the late de-
livery will be a source of great satisfac-
tiOn to the business men.
The postofice department will be en-
abled to do this by the fact that effec-
tive September 1 two additional car
riers will be added to the present force.
The increase has been allowed by the
postal department at Washington, and
Sam Robinson and I. P. Groom, now
substitute carriers, will be appointed to
regular positions Their places will be
filled from the civil service list.
The carrier routes in the business
portion of the city will be entirely re-
adjusted, so that the five deliveries per
day can be made without any incon-
Venience.

ANOTHER CLUE
Is Being Vigorously Followed by Col

The attorneys for John Collins have
been unusually active for a. week Just
now they are in Kansas City A Kan
sas City paper prints the following
story concerning their visit to that
place.
Charles Hayden of Holton and A. A
Godard of Topeka, attorneys for John
Henry Collins, the young society man
OF Topeka under arrest for the murder
OF his father, were in the city yester-
day investigating some local matters
connected with the case. There is an
important feature of the case located
in Kansas City and it has been care
fully investigated by the detectives for
the state, the insurance companies and
the defense. Just what it is has not
yet been made clear, but one of the de-
tectives who did some work in the case
here said yesterday that if the local
clues were followed properly it would
unravel the whole matter and clearly
establish the innocence of John Collins
Mr.. GODDARD would not talk of the case
yesterday except to say that it would
probably be fall before any important
facts would be made public to show the
innocence of his client"
