TO CROSS THE BLUE RIDGE.
a Railroad from Anderson to
the Tennessee Coal Mines.

~ RailrOau from Anderson to
the Tennessee Coal Mines.
Anderson Daily Mail.
For some tlmo past there have been
persistent rumOrs to the OBJECT that the
Southern railway intends to build n
new line over tho Blue Ridge noun
tains from the Tennessee coal fields,
using the survey of tho old Blue Ridge
road. The building Of the new naval
dry dock, and the many new manufac.
turing plants that arc spriDging up in
this part of the State will cause a
largely increased consumption Of coal,
and it is argued that the Southern
needs a now and shorter outlet for tho
coal mines which it owns in Tennessee.
The railway officials have never made
any public announcement of their in
tcntlons, but the frequency and per.
slstcncy with which tho rumor of the
building of tho new line is circulated
leads many people to believe that there
may be something in it. The Manufac-
turers' Record of this week contains
tho following:
4" Application has been made for a
charter for tho Tennessee, Georgia and
South Carolina Railroad company to
build line from Walhalla, S. G., to

Mcssrs. Frink, Skinner and Baugf
have published notice in local pa
per of their intention to apply to the
secretary of State for charter te
build a railroad from the city of Andcr
son to the Georgia line, gong in th'
direction of ltabun Gap and passin,
through Centervillo and Fork town
ships in this county. Absolutel
nothing is known in Anderson of th
parties or their intentions, and it
understood that the notice was sent {
tho paper through the mails.
But it costs several hundred dollar
to get charter for railroad in thi
State, and it does not seem probabl
that anybody would he willing to pr
up the money for securing the charic
unless thorc was very good prospect
OF the road being built. Further II
formation is awaited here with grct
deal of interest. A railroad over th
mountains has been the dream of Al
dcrson people, and of the people of I'll
entire State for that matter, for lift
years.

ASHER DELIRIOUSLY
HILARIOUS
Spasms Of Joy Oter the
Arrival Of the First
Railroad Train

Asher, Okla, May 5.-This city
went wild over the arrival of the first
railroad train into the city, Saturday,

day afternoon, and the way they we're
welcomed will be good story to ten

and brick plant whistles blew till they
we're hoarse, and everybody yelled a
plenty.
When the days work was done the
train backed down to the depot amid
the most uproarious carnival of noise
that ever a crowd of 1000 people put
up. and several kegs of Pabsts cele-
brated concentrated elixir of hilarity
were pried open ana their contents
passed around among the tracklayers.
It was a great day for Asher. Ev-
erybody was happy. Smiling was epi-
demic, and everybody caught it. Citi-
zens and visitors yelled in chorus, and
the railroad boys formed in line, four
abreast, and marched up Main street,
singing as they went.
The locomotive whistle rang loud
and clear, sending it's tone like q

who had no wish to get into any inju-
dicial scrimmage, and was annoyed to
find himself in a too familiar criminal
element out of business hours.
Another cry from the boy determined
the Judges fellow passenger to take
part in the affair. The express was
slowing up for station, and the man
who had the cadets watch in his hand,
the chain dangling from his fingers,
made a rush for the door, pursued by
the cadet bawling stop thiefw and
close in pursuit, flourishing a revolver,
followed the interested passenger who
had drawn the Judges attention to
the outrage.
stop, thief! Stop, thiefr he shouted,
as he ran; "stop, or I'll ill you with
lead! You shall not rob that boy of his
mothers watch. Give it back to him
or I'll fire"
Through the pandemonium which fol-
lowed the Judge never moved from his
seat. Indeed, the whole transaction
was over in a fash light, and the pas
sengers who had ducked their heads
had not lifted them when the train was
moving away from the station. No re-
port Of a revolver had sounded, and
the indignant passenger had not re-
turned when the conductor walked
through the car He was beaieged by
questions.

"What do you mean" asked the
Judge, sitting upright and beginning
to look interested. You don't suspect
that he was one of the gang?"
That's just what, Judge Baker
answered the conductor, who was a fel.

returned 1t to his pocket in a peremp-
tory fashion.

r. TAILORED SHIRT WAIST AND FIvE-GoRED SKIRT

Elbow sleeves have comfortable
gathers on the shoulders, and are ar
ranged on fitted arm bands. These are
made of lace and the rufEie is Of nous
seine.
The upper portion of the skirt is
shaped with five cores fitted smoothly
around the waist and over the hips
without darts. The closing is made in
the centre back under two inverted
pleats which are fatty pressed.
The sash of black panne is spangled
with green. It fastens at the left side
in a bow with short loops and long
ends which reach almost to the hem
of the founce.
Charming gowns in this mode may
be made of challie, nuns yelling, al
batross, barege and Lansdowne, with
lace, velvet, panne or ribbon ruching
for trimming. Some lovely soft rib
bons have cords in the centre on which
the ribbon may be ruffled, and these
are much used for decorating thin
dresses.

roars For POOR Aunt Jane.

"Look here. my dear" said the man
to his wife, as he glanced through the
obituary notices in the paper, there is
poor Aunt Jane dead; she is going to
be buried this evening, and / ought
to go to the funeral"
"Of course you should" said Dear,
"ycu must get ready at once and hur-
ry off.
IL ten minutes the man was on the
street car and in half an hour in the
church where the service was to be
held. 1t was a long time since he had
seen Aunt Jane Che was a busy NAM,
and he had almost forgotten her eXis-
tcnce. But as he sat there in the big
bare church a feeling Of sadness stole
over him. He remembered the early
days of his childhood when Aunt Jane
was a frequent visitor at the house,
and the many little ktndnesses she had
done for him. His childhood seemed
so far away, there had been SO many
changes since, so many of the people
associated with 1t had passed away,
and, as he thought Of it ALL the tears
rose to his eyes. The ceremony pro
ceeded, and the mourners at last
passed up to the front for last look
at the face of the dear one. The man,
his eyes still moist, stopped suddenly,
for a second, as he looked upon the
quiet face, and then he looked again,
He had not seen Aunt Jane for a long
time, but he knew her well enough
to know that while this was a woman
of about the same age and evidently
the same name, it was rot Aunt Jane.
He drew a long breath as he passed
down the aisle and out into the street,
and now he does not attend funerals
without previous investigation.-New
