been completed the entire line from
Eberman to Spartanburg will be let
to contractors and active grading be-
gun. All that part of the road north
of Eberman, as is already known, Is
under contract, and from two to three
thousand hands are already engaged
in building the road. Many con-
lectures, suppositionS and opinions are
being INDUCED in reference to the
probability of the road being DETECTED
from its original course and coming
through this place.
The writer is not on the inside, but,
like others indulging opinions, is on
the outside, and ventures his ideas only
as others, for what they are worth.
He recently had a conversation with
a prominent attorney of the South and
Western at Marion, whose influence
with the corporation had failed to
bring the road to that place, and the
ony hope for Marion, he admitted, was
a spur or branch line from that place
to the main line at some point on the
Catawba river. The South and Wes-
tern he said, was not hunting towns
or money but the most accessible
route to the coast If this be true
of Marion, it is true of Rutherfordton
in general way, but we have one
winning card that Marion does not
hold This is the western terminus
of the Carolina Central, a part of the
Seaboard Air Line system. The pro-
moters of the South and Western owns
a large, if not a controlling interest
in the Seaboard Air Line system, and
their concerns are largely mutual
What, by indirection affects one di-
rectly affects the other; and it is like
taking money from one purse and
it to another in an oppo-
site pocket or to different safes haV-
ing the same combination.
If these premises be correct the de-
auctions cannot be otherwise than
true. The Seaboard must connect with
the South and Western or the South
and Western must connect with the
Which will it be? My opin-
ion only, mark that: The Seaboard Will
connect with the South and Western
at some point on Mountain crAak, and
not only that, it must cross it's line

eral important reasons, besides those
already adduced, might be given for
such belief. but these have been
so frequently discussed that they are
patent to almost every one cOnverSant
with the history of railroad matters
in this county. since the survey of the
old Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruth
erfordton Railroad before the Civil
War.
The building of the South and Yves
tern is assured and the extension of
the Seaboard Air Line to Mountain
creek reasonably sure, and its extern
sion at an early date to the city of
Asheville is highly probable.

SCROFULA
FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable
and tic diseased blood of parents is
handed down to children in the form OF
Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted
nothing can reach the disease but con-
stitutional remedy. The very foundation
of the blood is diseased, and until it is
purified and made strong, those who are
born with q scrofulous tendency cannot
have the blessing of robust health.
Cleveland, O., 1872 Brownell st.
INHERITED Scrofula from my ancestry,
and this means, of course, weak, impure
blood and a rundown, de bl1tated con-
dition of the system. Treatment of ply
sicians lid not do me anything like the.
1t. It promotes appetite and digestion,
gives strength and energy, builds up
the general health in every way, and in
addition to being an excellent blood pu-
rifier it adds to it's success as remedy
for Scrofula. It did more for me than
anything / have used, and with pleas
ure I recommend it. S. s. s.. completely
cured me of this blighting disease.
MRS. LOUISE COKEN,
S. S. S., the king of blood purifiers, is
the medicine that is required, because it
changes the quality of the blood by
cleansing it of all poisons and impurities,
building it up and strengthening the en-
tire system. When S. S. S.. has restored
the blood to a healthy condition and
forced out the scrofulous deposits, there
is sure return to health. No remedy
has ever been found to equal this great
vegetable preparation for the cure of all

Cure 10 STAY Cured,

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. lIth (Special)
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Lolass County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in he'd for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney pills cured her. Speak
Ing of her cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Yes, Dodd's Kidney pills cured me

and know the cure was complete for

not been down since. In four weeks
from the time | started taking them
| was able TO make my garden. No
body can know how thankful / am 10

This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths
of the suffering the human family is
heir TO, will disappear.

ALASKA AND NORWAY
THEIR RESOURCES COMPARED
Alaska Has the Milder climate-lt
Has Also More Agricultural Land
and Could Support More
People.

"A country similar to Norway,
though of far greater extent, Is Alaska.
The climate, resources and physical
features of the two countries are much
the same. Alaska has more resources
In minerals, timber. and fisheries, and
perhaps equal or greater resources III
agriculture. But Alaska IS n new coun.
try. Its developments have just begun.
Norway, on the other hand. has been
inhabited by the ancestors of the pres
ent population from time immemorial.
Its population is one of the hardest
and best races among the sons of men.
The climate of Alaska on all its
southern coasts Is, on the whole,
milder than that of Norway And the
inhabitable area Of Alaska Is far
greater. Norway has an area of 1884,
900 square miles, three-fourths unin-
habitable, Alaska has an area of more
than 100000 square miles and an in
habitable area of perhaps 100000
square miles.
Norway has a population of 2,292,.
900. This population occupies a terri
tory scarcely exceeding 10000 square
miles. Almost the whole population is
on or near the coast line. A lofty
mountain chain. little back from the
coast. as in Alaska, cuts OFF the shore
line from the interior. There is some
agriculture, but measured by our
standards not much. The principal in
dustries are fishing, navigation, cat
tie raising. dairying and numbering. In
southern Norway agriculture Is an i'm
portant interest, but breadstuffs are
still imported.
In all the particulars above enumer.
ated Alaska has resources greater than
those of Norway, and mineral resources
of immensely greater extent. The eli
mates are similar, but that of Alaska
milder. Taking Norway for judgment
and for comparison, we believe that
the time will come when Alaska will
have. 100000 inhabitants and be one
of the most important states of the
American Union.
Both countries are crowded down by
mountain chains 10 narrow strips on
the ocean, but Alaska has much more
available space than Norway and ma
tural resources far greater. Undoubt-
edly many years must elapse before
the development of Alaska will equal
that of Norway, but 1t VIII come. II is
a country, like Norway, for hardy,
strong, yirtuous, stable and progress
sive population. By the end of the pres
ent century there will be population
of 100000 TO 3,000,000 in Alaska
