A Proposed New Railroad.

For some time past there have been
persistent rumors to the effect that the
Southern Railway intends to build q new
line over the Blue Ridge mountains from
Knoxville, using the survey of the old
Blue Ridge road. The railroad officials
have never yet declared their intentions,
but the persstency with which the
rumor is circulated has given credibility
to it.
The Manufacturers Record of Sep
tember 4th, contains tho following:
Application has been made for a
charter for the Tennessee, Georgia &
South Carolina Railroad Company to
build line from Walhalla, S. c.,
through Georgia to Charleston, Tenn.
The incorporators are VIM. b. Frink,
j. w. Lasure and George Bancroft, of
Chicago, ILL.,; Marrill Skinner, of Blue
Ridge Ca; G. G. Baugh, w. B. Brown
lee, w. l.. Hunter and A. F. Christopher,
Of Mineral Bluff, Ga, and j. A. Butt, of
Blainesville, Ca"
Messrs. Frink, Skinner and Baugh
have published in local paper notice of
their intention to apply to the Secretary
of State for a charter to build railroad
from the city of Anderson to the Georgia
line, going in the direction of Rabun
Gap, and passing through Centerville
and Fork townships in this county.
Absolutely nothing Is known in Ander-
son of the parties or their intention ),
and it is understood that the notice was
sent to the paper through the mails.
But it costs several hundred dollars to
secure charter for n railroad in this
State, and it does not seem probable that
anybody would be willing to put up the
money for securing railroad charter
unless there was some likelihood that
the road would be built.-Anderson Mail.
