TO COAL FIELDS.
Southern May Build Line From WAL
haIIa Into Tennessee.

A year or moro ago there was
much talk about a railroad from
Walhalla, S. c., through Macon
county, N. c., and into Tom. but
! the question has for some time been
still.It is now learned that this line
has been surveyed and the cons
tract has been partly let for q new
road for tho Southern from Wall
halla to Maryville, Tenn. =,
A look at the map Of the co,intry
will show at a glance what saw
ing in carrying coal can be effec-
ted by the building of a 100 miles
or less of railroad, through a fer
tile country that needs the road
and will produce enough to give it
business. From Maryville to Wal
halla a direct line is less than 100
miles, and, while it is a mountain
GUS country. the grade is -oasv.
Loa~ius Maryville for 20 miles or
more you strike the Tennessee Riv-
er, and following it and its tributa-
rles you get very near Walhalla
without crossing any hills. We are
informed on good authority that,
many years ago tunnel was made
nearly through the hills, four miles
from Walhalla, by a railroad COM
pany which failed, and it is pos
sible that the Southern will utilize
this long lost work in crossing to
South Carolina.
From Knoxville to Seneca, S. o.,
where the road from Walhal]a
crosses the Southern's main line,
it is 288 miles: and that is the
route over which is hauled coal
and other freight. From Knox
VILE to Seneca, by Walhalla, it is
but little more than 100 miles.
1t does not take an expert to
see that this road opens q new
route that ls surprising. Freight
traffic is now congested over the
long lines named, and the build
ing Of this road would be an easy
solution of that congcsted state,
and open a comparatively unknown
and beautiful part Of North Caro-
lima.

Y yolIIlgI, / 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 arc 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

AMERICAN CONSUL
KILLED BY TURKS,
VICE CONSUL OF UNITED STATES AT
BEIRUT ASSASSINATED.
Admiral Cotton Ordered to Hold His
Ships Ready to Sail-Consul Was
From Minnesota.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The
State Department has received a
cableg1am from Minister Leish-
man at Constantlnople, announc-
ing that William G. Magelssen,
United States vice consul at Beirut
Syria, was assassinated yesterday
while riding in carriage. The
American minister immediately de-
manded action by Turkey.
Acting Secretary Loomis today
cabled Leishman, instructing him
to demand the immediate arrest
and punishment of the persons
guilty OF the murder. No demand
for money indemnity for the mans
family has Yet bean made but
probably this will follow.
Admiral Cotton, commanding
the European squadron, has been
cabled by the Navy Department to
have his vessels in readiness to
move to Beirut, which is on the
eastern shore of the Mediterranean
sea, in case the demands Of the
United States government upon
the Turkish government are not
complied with.
Magelssen, who was a Scandina-
Wan, was appointed vice consul at
Beirut, Sept. 20, 1899. At the
time OF his appointment as vice con-
sui no was consular clerk In Tur-
key. Magelssen was appointed on
recommendation Of Senator Nelson
Of Minnesota, who says that he
was the son Of a prominent Luth.
eran minister. He was born in
Minnesota.
Minister Leishman's cablegram
was dated yesterday and stated
that the assassination occurred
Sunday, the minister being III.
formed of tho crime by Consul
Ravudal. The consul stated thai
the murderer was not seon ant
was not known.
The State Department has for.
warded Minister Leishmans dis
patch to President Roosevelt AT
Oyster Bay, and is now in commu>
nication with him on the subject
Tho announcement of the assas.
sination Of the American vice con-
sui, following 80 soon upon the as
sassination Of the Russian consul
in Turkey, created strong comment
in official circles and the suggestion
was made that such frequent as
sassinations indicate q very dis
turbed condition Of affairs in the
Turkish dominion. Minister
Leichman gave no particulars OF
tho assassination and the State
Department has no information a.
to cause Of murder.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Boldness of Negro Desperadoes at Pen
dleton Saturday Night.


Mr.. S. l.. Eskew, of Pendloton,
was IN Anderson Thursday and
told Of bold attempt at highway
robbery in that town Saturday
night.
Two negroes who live near PEN
dloton had started to their home
about 10 O'Clock. They we're
walking. and had several bundles
in their orms. As they reached
the railroad bridge they were
stopped by two strange negroes
armed with pistols, and command
ed to deliver their goods. They
We're little slow in complying
with the request, and one of the
highwaymen struck one of negroes
over tho head with q bludgeon, in.
nicting painful wound. The
highwaymen captured one of the
negro's packages, bundle of dry
goods, and made off in the dark
ness.
Tho alarm was gwen, but it was
impossible to get On track of the
desperadoes that night. Some ar.
rests have been made since, but
the suspected parties were releas
ed for lack OF evidence. Mr.. Es
kew said, however, that he is sat,
fsfed that the guilty parties viii
yet be brought to justice.

LaBorde, who now holds the posi-


tion.
State house officials, most OF
whom are now c,mers here, find
that Columbia is very expensive
| place in which to 1--we. Rents are
high as compared with most other
places in the State; provisions are
as high as elsewhere and ser.
wants command good wages. The
experience of most Of the State Off
cials has been that, unless they
have other sources Of income, from
their homes or professions, they
run behind.
State officials who ore expected
to do any amount Of entertaining
cannot possibly live upon their in"
comes. This may seem strange,
but the fact is that no governor in
recent years has been able to come
out even on his salary, and the sal
ary Of governor is tho best that is
paid by the State-$3,50O. Of
course there will be plenty of meu
who want the glory of being elec-
tod governor Of this glorious State
and there are many men who
would accept tho Office without pay,
but it is we'll to know how things
stand.
Aside from the expenses of living
III Columbia there is the expense
of the primary system. In some
states the Legitimate expenses Of a
campaign are puid by the state.
In this State every candidate has
TO pay his own transportatlon>-un-
less he has passes-has to settle
with tho hotels, pay for advertise
ing, get up his plate matter for the
papers, have supplementary tick
cts printed. encounter the commit
toe with the list for the building
Of new church or bridge, attend
the fairs and perhaps arrange to
have some "friend' at certain
boxes, and "friend" usually ac-
cepts pay for "his time" 1t is
surprising how these little things
count up.
One Of the candidates in The re-
cent State campaign kept close
tab on what money he spent. He
is satisfied that every cent he OK
pended was for legitimate and nee
essary expenses, and that he did
not use any money in an improper
way or to influence a. single vote.
His books show that he actually
expended $523 for expenses during
the campaign and that he "chipped
away" 5000 for incidentals, sub
scriptions, tips and the like. In
other words, the expenses of the
primary were 1928. This applies
to defeated as woll as to success
full candidates, and this is a low
average, as some defeated candi-
dates spent twice that much to be
defeated, and it all went to meet
Legitimate expenses and keep pace
wi tn other candidates.
