RAILROAD RUMORS GALORE.
One Out of Many at Greenwood that
May Have Basis in
Fact.
News and Courier.

No"S allu courier.
Greenwood, September 26.-Rail-
road rumors are as thick as hops
hereabouts at present. "Have you
heard this or that" or it may be,
Did you know" and so on, all argu-
cd as earnestly and solemnly as if the
person talking had it first hand,
fright off the reel" as the typical
not air artist would say.
One rumor that may have some bas-
Is OF fact in it is statement made by
General Manager Ackert, of the
Southern, to Congressman Aiken last
winter. Mr.. Ackert was being asked
by Mr.. Aiken why the Blue Ridge
was not to be extended, or, if it was
to be extended, when, and so on and
was told by Mr.. Ackert that The Blue
Ridge would certainly be extended.
This is not news, for President Fin
ley and Vice President Andrews said
the same thing at Anderson this
spring when they were gallantly de-
Tending the Southern from the terrific
onslaught Of Mayor Rhett.
This is the news: Mr.. Ackert told
Mr.. Aiken that if conditions continu-
ed SO favorable in South Carolina,
Harmonius' would be better
word perhaps, that the Southern in
tended to build line from Ninety
Six to Batesburg, an air line in fact.
Then from Perry to Branchvillc and
these two short lines would then give
them an air line almost from Knox
vile to Charleston.
This sounds very nice and looks
plausible on the map. Take a map
and ruler and see how straight the
line would be. The idea in building
from Ninety-Six is to cut out the bad
curves down in the swamps Of the Sa-
luda between Dyson's, Chappells, Old
Town, etc. These curves would re-
suit in an overturned coal train al
most every day, said Mr.. Ackert.
Now if the Southern is to do this,
what about the people who are build
ing the road from here to Saluda9
They have the rights of way and the
Southern's proposed line would have
to run parallel with this line all the
way to Saluda.
This gives rise to the rumor and
speculation that the Southern is be-
hind the road now being built to Sa-
luda. The men building it say it is
not. The Southern has not claimed
the line and this rumor probably has
nothing whatever to back it up now.
What may happen later is another
matter.
The Southern does not intend that
the South and Western shall haul all
the coal that is left in the mountains
Of Tennessee and Kentucky to Char
leston

Samuel H. Elrod, Governor of South
nor may he ever be voted a niche in
the gallery that is supposed to hold
immortal James but he is a man in
the highest sense of the word, and one
whose utterance commend him to the
admiration of his fellow co~untrymen.
Some of the holders of refunded bonds
of the State of North Carolina made a
present to the University of South Da-
kota of a number of these bonds, and
then managed to have that State sue
North Carolina for the value OF them.
In order to get a verdict which would
suggest a valuation on the balance held
by the original donors. The Supreme
Court decided against North Carolina
and the money was paid. Here is what
Gov. Elrod of South Dakota says.
"Our State has no bonded debt. Our
people are contented, prosperous and
happy,a we ought not to keep North
Cardinals money, She has a bonded
debt of $3.50, 900, and she has not yet
recovered from the terrible onse-
quences of the Civil War. Let us put
ourselves in her place, n then let us
do unto her as we would have her do
unto u.s.
A governor who stands up and tells
the legislature of his State hose words,
is far above the average man in politi-
cal life, and many who deem themselves
men of "strictly business principles.
No wonder Gev. Glenn says he would
love to shake the hand of GOV. Elrod,
for he is not only a credit to South Da-
kota, but to the whole country. Ma
his tribe increase.
