Bluo Ridge Rnilroad will apply for

that line as an individual organiza-
ton and for the purpose Of extend.
ing tho road beyond Walhalla, the
present terminus. This applica-
ton for tho charter will DO made
by Mr.. Fairfax Harrison and Mr..
b. i. Abney, who bought the road
at tho sale two weeks ago, and
they have announced that the line
will he extended to the Georgia
line, toward Eabun Gap. Railroad
people have accepted this state
mcnt to mcan that the Blue Ridge
viii! cross the mountains in direct
route toward Knoxville, and the
belief is general that it will be
built and managed by the South
orn Railway.
For Il half century or more hus-
ness rcop]o in tho Piedmont section
have lived in the hopo of seeing this
great railway vonture accomplish
ed. 1t was the pot sch:mc OF John
G. Calhoun to have capital interest
cd III the project with tho idea Of
having that road built, and the big
tunnels, cut through solid rock, in
tho mountains beyond Wa lhalia,
are left rs an evidence Of what WAS
done when tho scheme was first
started years ago. Much Of the
grading IS in shape and the tunnels
aro rs solid and sound as when
first cut 10y the builders. This
completed grading has long hrcn
an lndurcnl. mt to investors. For
years the Boone Railway, Il paper
cancers, has boon crossing the
mountains, with loll Royal as Il
Southern terminus. Boone, how
ever, wis never able to do what he
. desired. lie recognized the vast
possibilities and the vaiuo Of tho
road which would run from the sea
coast through the coal regions, and
which would give shorter route
than any other offered by rival
, limos. But all tho talk of extend
ing the Blun Ridge amounted tc
nothing. Schemes were started,
to run a while and than fall
s through Mr.. Harrison and. Mr.. Alb
t ncy is the first actual step toward:
. building over the mountains.
The extension of the Blue Ridg,
rs contemplate by the purchasers
Il and their powerful associates, woul(
mean great deal to Charleston
>, and the State generally. From
this city to Knoxville, via Walhala
is almost Il straight line, with few
bends at different points, and the
saving o. mileage would make il
tho most desirable Of all routes bo-
tween tho Tennessee coal and iron
fields and the best port on the
South Atlantic coast.
1t would put the Southern Rail-
way through tho heart Of rich
country aud would enable this big
system to got the bulk Of the
freight and pa a,sengcr traffic, which
has gone hcr'toiorn to various 9TH
er reads. with the direct line,
however, the new road would have
every possible advantage and
=. would pUt the Southern in to a fold
which 1t hls not been able to
throughly reach in the past. The
towns and cities along this route
would hc "ondcriulIy improved.

 There are between 5000 and 10000 law yers in Chicago. That is to say there are between 5000 and 10000 men in the city who have studied law and been ad- mitted to practice. Of this number. hoW- ever, only 4,500 to 5000, or about bO per cent. are following their profession, The other 4.000 or 5000 are in the ranks or trade. Men educated for the bar, and many who have practiced--seme of them with fair success in the courts-are em- pIoyed in the financial, industrial and commercial concerns of the city. A large percentage of these did not turn from their profession because of failure, but simply because thev saw opportunities for a more profitable use of their talents in other lines. These lawyers, of course. have dropped completely out of practice and out of the law lists, and are no longer to be classed as unemployed law yers.

The new law placing restrictions upon those seek ing admission to prtctce in Illinois though a good one, has not yet percep- tibly reduced the number in Chicago. This is due largely to the fact that the Chicago bar is recruited, or, rather, in- vaded from all points of the Middle West.

The bar of Chicago would not suffer if the law schools of the Middle West should suspend business for the next five
