A BIG RAILROAD FIGHT.

For forty years that magnificent
section Of country in the mountains
through Mcdowell. yancey and
Mitchell counties has had no railroad
outlet. Last year the South n West
ern Railroad built from Johnson City
to Spruce Pine, a distance Of s~ixty-nine
miles, and is operating the road. It
has surveyed a line on TO Rutherford
ton and to Spartanburg and has
bought and obtained deeds for a right
of way along Tow river, upon which
they expect to build. Lo, and behold,
just as they are ready to begin work,
up comes a force OF Southern Railway
employees and begins to grade a track
On the land bought and paid for by
the South and Western Railroad. Did
you ever hear Of anything exactly he
equal of that for GOODNESS?
The Southern has long had a mo-
nopoly in Western North Carolina,
bottled it up n retarded progress.
In all those years il would do nothing
for that section. Now that another
line is ready to build and buys the
right of way, up hobs the Southern.
and without as much as by your
leave grabs the land the new COM
pany has bought, and proposes to ask
the county to enforce their foIcible
/ possession, The litigation. which viii

and Will be watched with interest.

hear of a more hoggish procedure
than this last grab attempted by the

i Loss TO THE SOUTH.

The death of Chancellor Hill, of the
University of Georgia, is a serious
loss to the cause Of education. and
good citizenship. He was a scholarly
gentleman, a good writer and an at
tractive speaker, who. when called
upon to address an audience, always
rose above rublic expectation. No ed
ucator in the country was more dis
eliminating in his use of the English
language. His convictions We're of the
most positive character but his pacific
Spirit made him a h~armonizing leader
and a valuable friend to a good u

always mands respect, but We do
not always love hose men whom we
admire and respect. All serviceable
men are rot personally lovable men.
But Chancellor Hills character was
so we'll balanced that he commanded
in almost equal degree h admira-
ton, the respect and the affection Of
his fellows. His tact coupled with
ability ana generosity mad his work
effective and his very gentleness and
lnodesty made him conspicuous in any
company of the worlds workers.
Chancellor Hill vas a member of the
Southern Education Board and a few
years ago was president of the South
ern Education Association. He was a
model man and citizen.
Georgia has sustained severe loss
in its educational leaders this yeal
in the death of President Hall. of the
School Of Technology. who literally
gave MS splendid life in devotion to
his work. and in the death of Cham
cellor Hill. who was equally Jealous
in his high office. The whole South
is poorer for the loss Of these edu

do not advertise their intentions but

the history Of how Andy Hamilton

much viii the big companies spend
