What Has Become Of Them Ia Pertinent
Question from Columbia Other Matters.

Columbia, August 1s.-Editors Cou-
rier: was glad to see In arecent issue
of your paper whore some one ie becom-
ing interested in Walhalla and asks what
has become Of her summer boarder indus
try--as In the old days2 This question
should be kept alive and rubbed under
the very nose of every man in Walhalla
who feels an interest in. the old town
until they come together and stop the
leak, and this could be done in two
years. time. The town would run full
of that happy-go-luoky class of people
who thronged her streets in summer
many years ago, when first knew and
learned to love the old place. This week
while in gentleman's Office up town, ne
asked me to give him some information
how to reach some point in the noun
tains whore he could take party OF
friends for months outing at a reason
able cost, etc. He turned to q map on
the wall and with his pencil commenced
pointing out places in North Carolina,
and asked how he could reach them. 1
directed his gaze on Oconee, with Wal
halia as starting point, when he said,
"Oh. they tell me that country's dead,
and there is no accommodation up there
any more" 1 endeavored to convince
him she was not dead by all kinds of a
jug full, and hope they will come up and
see how some liar has posted a funeral
notice over very active corpse.
One of the last additions to Oconee's s
colony in Columbia is VIM. Richie, who
is with the Columbia Lumber and Manu-
featuring Co. He is one of the best
mechanics in the plant, whore over one
hundred are employed in this special
line.
The most natural picture to be seen
and one that recalls many pleasant memo
ries of Walhalla in the past, is to see the
ever smiling face of one of Oconee's
boys. Karl oehmis, framed up in the
front of newly painted bakers delivery
wagon, as he comes down street every
morning on his daily rounds.
A. @. Merrick and his son, Romaine,
Paul r. Gibson, George Maxwell, j. b.
Reid and many others l cannot now re-.
call, make up quite colony of Oconee's
representatives in Columbia, who are
all filling positions of trust and honor,
and are all well.
This city has been very dry and hot
until last Saturday night when the rain
came down in torrents, and all nature
seems refreshed indeed.
The farmers report cotton to be very
late for August.
The break in the canal dam has been
repaired and all mills are running on full
time again.
The jim Grow street car ordinance,
passed by our City Fathers not long ago,
requiring the company to set apart seats
for our oolored brother, has caused a
general boycott of the lines by Sambo,
and he has now taken to the old, dilapi-
dated street hacks for transportation,
and the colored owners and drivers will
carry him anywhere he wants to go for
10 cents; yet he still charges the "pale
face" 25 cents per ride, as of yore. This
is rather novel, yet effective, way of
hitting back; SO let them hit, as it hurts
no one but the man at the bat. JOG.

Railroad Matters.

Our prospects of getting railroad to
Franklin seem to be very good now.
1t is expected that the track will be laid
down on about about ten miles from
Tallulah Falls to Tiger by the last of this
month. Squads of hands are at work on
the grade, scattered along from Tiger to
Rabun Gap. 1t is expected to have
trains running to Clayton by November.
The Southern railway is working on the
other end from Tennessee. A force is
grading from near Maryville, Tenn, in
this direction. The latter part of last
week the Southern sent train load of
tools and carts to Bushnell, and we are
informed that LOO hands arrived there
Friday to commence grading in the di-
rection OF Maryville to meet the other
forces at work on the farther end. AS
soon as that section is completed to
Bushnell, the grading is to be commenced
in the direction of Franklin. The chief
engineer says that it is the intention to
have the trains running through from
Knoxville to Walhalla, S. c., within
twenty-four months.
Sometimes we hear reports that the
Southern .s backing Prentiss in his work,
and again we hear it reported that the
l.. e N. is backing him. These reports
seem to be mere idle rumor. 1t seems
that Prentiss keeps digging away and he
bids fair to reach Clayton before many
moro weeks if he keeps at it,
We saw it stated in one of our ex-
changes few days ago that tho L. and
N. would contest the passage of the
Southern through Rabun Gap. We do
not know what there is in the rumor,
but it seems that both systems are
awakening to the Importance of line
through this section from the coal fields
of Tennessee to the South Atlantic
coast. Some think that tho two compa-
nies may parallel each other and run two
roads through. We want road to
Franklin and il matters little to us who
builds it. We will welcome the first
come.-F Franklin Press.
