following information:
The route of the proposed railroad is a
very practical one, being ridge line all
the way and therefore the expense of
construction and maintaining the tres
ties, bridges or even culverts is avoided
thereby. greatly reducing the cost of the
location for the traffic of through road,
If it becomes such, as the grades are light
and the curvature is easy. The curves
are mostly two and four degrees with a
maximum of five degrees. The grades
run gradual, from nothing to IL per cent,
with a maximum of 2 per cent. Judging
from these figures it can be seen that the
cost of operation of this road will be re-
duced to minimum and thereby its
earning capacity greatly increased The
route selected passes through a most
beautiful and fertile section of elevated
farm lands, now in high state of cultiva-
tion and owned by intelligent white men,
many having means. The route also
touches Oakway and Cross Roads, both
small settlements, but promising rapid
growth with railroad facilities and an in

TOwNvILLE,

TOwNVILLE.
The progressive city of Townville ia
situated on the line between Anderson
and Oconee counties. The populate Z, is
about 800, with prospect of inorea. ..g
that number to 1000 as soon as the work
on the railroad actually commences.
Townyille is l6 miles west of Anderson
and is 10 miles east of Westminster. The
farming lands around Townville for
miles are excellent. The folks are intel
ligent and we'll educated. There are
three churches in the town with large
memberships. A'large graded school is
we'll patronized. Matt Nichols is the in
tendent and DR.. II. j. Paddock is the
marshal. Townville is 150 feet below
Westminster and Oakway is 1876 feet
above Westminster. All three of these
places are ideal locations for large cities,
and on account of the mountain climate.
they should in time become resorts. The
water in that section of the country is
very fine and healthy. In fact, it is
doubtful If better country in the State
could be found to develop into valuable
territory.
WESTMINSTER.
Westminster is on the main line of the
Southern Railway, and, of course, the
proposed railway will tap the main line
there. This will enable the folks along
the new road to have good passenger ia
cilities as well as freight, and the rates
on freight will be minimum. Westmin-
ster is large town, having 1000 popula-
ton. No doubt her population will be
greatly increased by the realization of the
proposed railroad. Westminster will be
the terminus of the road.
SENECA WANTS 1T.
Now, it is understood here to-day that
the town of Seneca is anxious to have the
railroad built to Seneca instead of West
minister. Seneca is making some big
strides toward landing the railroad, and
1t is possible that folks at Townville will
prefer that the road go to Seneca instead
of Westminster.
The question now is, why doesn't An
derson get behind the proposition and
get the road built from Townville to An
derson instead of Townville to Westmin-
ster or Seneoap 1t is understood that if
Anderson will raise $4,000 for stock in
the road, the railroad will come here in
stead. The country between here and
Townville is equally as prosperous as the
country between Townville and West
minister and Townville and Seneca and
the actual cost of construction will be
lower than from >Townville to either of
the other two cities Very little grading
would be necessary between Anderson
and Townville, and just think how much
good it would do Anderson to have she
road come here. The railroad men inter-
ested would prefer for Anderson to get
the road. Anderson can raise $50,O
much easier than either Westminster or
Seneca can raise $4,000.
If the citizens of Anderson get together
right away and stir themselves, it is al
most an assured fact that the road will
be built to this point instead of either
Westminster or Seneca.

Toy Spaniel SHOW.

New York, Nov 5-The third an
nual show of the Toy Spaniel club of
America was opened in the Waldorf
Astoria hotel today, This is consid-
cred the most select and fashionable
gathering of the canine race in Ameri-
ca. There was a certain quietude
about the reunion at the Waldorf that
may not be found elsewhere. There is
not the eternal rattle of the terriers
and the deep, sonorous notes of the
larger dogs to be heard at this special
ty show, for the ladies' lap dog is gem
orally too indolent to bark, and he
rightly prefers the ease of his silken
cushion, stuffed with down, to the riot
of the outer kennel, The show was
extremely interesting, the company be-
ing of the ultra fashionable type, the
great hotel for the moment going to
the dogs, and has given ever one Of
its most luxurious apartments to dog
loving men and women. James Nor
timer, a wel-knolwn fancier will make
the awards tomorrow night.

DO Up a Con.


Hattiesburg, Miss. Nov. 1.-Two
men were fatally wounded and more
than 500 shots were fired in a race
riot at Virgins, Miss, thirty five
miles south of here. William Smith,
a negro, i'm resisting arrest, fired on

several volleys into his cell and left
him for dead.

The Vatican Expenses.

Rome Nov 6-Owing to the serious
falling off of St Peters Pence during
the past few years, the pope is cOnsid-
erably reducing the vatican expenses
and has dismissed from the palace a
number of pedsons holding office which
could be dispensed with. The present
religious situation in France has
caused an almost complete stoppage
of the flow of Peters pense and to
.counteract this instructions have been
sent to all the German bishops TO do
all in their power to obtain liberal do
nations from that Empire. The
recent legacy from Count Pertona,
formerly grand master of ceremonies
Of the court of Napoleon H.. of the sum
of $1,00o,0OO to Peters pense, has been
a welcome addition.

They Were Sentenced in Chicago for
Embezzlement and Forgery.


Embezzlement and Forgery.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-Panl o. Stensland
the former president Of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, wso was arrested
in Tangier, and Henry w Herring. the
cashier of the same institution, were
sentenced by Judge Pinckney, in the
criminal court to indeterminate terms
in the penitentiary for embezzlement
and forgery The sentences may run
anywhere from one to ten years. The
new sentence given Stensland will not
lengthen his term. of Imprisonment, as
the new sentence is concurrent with
the old.
Stensland had been brought from
the penitentiary at Joliet to give evil
dence against Herring, who it was un-
derstood would make a fight for his
freedom but Herring changed his
mind and decided to throw himself
upon the mercy of the court Stems
land however took the stand. and
told OF how the bank was wrecked.
Stensland said that the irreguari-
ties in the bank began about ten years
ago. when he commenced to invest the
funds of the bank in real estate. Dur
ing the last eight years, he declared
he had lost 100000 in real estate
transactions. He also lost 1918, 900 in
running a cooperative store. Stems
land declared that he kept Investing
the money of the bank in real estate
deals and TO use it for the payment
of his debts, at the suggestion Of
Herring. He asserted that he had
never forged name despite the fact
that he had pleaded guilty to forgery
when he was brought back to this
country from Tangier.
All transactions Herring knew
about, declared Stensland "and they
were all credited to my account" The
ex- president of the bank then enter
ed upon a long statement of the af-
fairs of the bank, all of which was
heard by Herring who was present in

Do You Want to Know
What YOU Swallow p

There is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES. or KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
sition Of that which ne or she Is expected
To swallow, whether 1t be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part OF the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation OF his medi-
cines, DIR. r. VI. Pierce. of Buffalo. M. H.,
has rtaken time by the forelocll,a us it

Discovery" the popular liver inyigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his Favorite Prescrip-
ton" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoEe4 movement on
the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his weIl-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
Justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
