Y OuIlg Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out Of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

More Railroad Rumor.

The Charlotte Chronicle, usually one
OF the most reliable newspapers in the
South, has this article concerning the
persistent rumor that the Southern Rail
way is getting ready to build the new
line from Knoxville to Walhalla:
A year or more ago there was much
talk about railroad from Walhalla,
s. O., through Macon county, this State,
and into Tennessee, but for some cause
the question has been still for some time.
It is now learned that this line has been
surveyed and the contract has been
partly let for a new road for the Southern
from Walhalla to Maryville, Tenn.
A look at good map of the country
will show at glance what saving in
carrying coal can be effected by. the
building of 100 miles or less of railroad
through fertile country that needs the
road and will produce enough to give ii
business. From Maryville to Walhalla a
direct limo is less than 100 miles, and,
while it is o mountainous country, the
grade is easy. Leaving Maryville for &c
miles or more you strike the Tennessee
river, and following it and it's tributaries
you get very near Walhalla without
crossing any hills. The Chronicle is
informed on good authority that, many
years ago, tunnel was dug, nearly
through the hills, four miles from Wal
halla, by railroad company which
failed, and it is possible that the South
ern will utilize this long lost work in
crossing to South Carolina.
From Knoxville to Seneca, S. c., where
the road from Walhalla crosses the
Southern's main line, it is 2SS miles, and
that is the route over which is hauled
coal and other freight. From Knoxville
to Seneca, by Walhalla, it is but little
more than 100 miles.
1t does not take an expert to SEQ that
this road opens up a new route that
sbortens distances to a degree that is
surprising. Freight traffic is now
congested over the long lines named, and
The building of this road would be an
easy solution of that congested state and
open comparatively unknown and
beautiful part of North Carolina.
