WALHALIA, s. O.:
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1909.
TEN PAGES.
AND WHY NOT /?

Elsewhere will be found in this
issue a suggestion by Capt. A. W..
Thompson, of Seneca, relative to the
building of a trolley line from Wal
halla to Seneca. Unquestionably
such line would prove of untold
benefit to the three Walhalla,
West Union and Seneca. Nothing,
probably, Is so conducive to growth
and development as rapid transit, and
such line would so closely connect
the three towns as to give the citi-
Zens OF each many of the advantages
Of one large town.
or course there are numerous de-
tails to be worked out and consid-
ered-the cost OF construction, which
can be figured to almost certainty
for the whole project, and very close
~ as to cost of operation and main
tenance; and then comes the proba-
bic and possible sources Of revenue.
On this latter depends the practical
bility Of the scheme. If there is in
sight at the outset probable revenue
sufficient to maintain and operate the
line for period of, say two years,
then unquestionably we need have no
FEAR for the future of the scheme.
The steady growth of Walhalla, West
Union and Seneca, coupled with the
material improvement of the country
lying between, form about as sub
Etontja1 hocic hicl 70 h,,; 4
as is afforded for any enterprise in
the State.
We agree with Mr.. Thompson that
the proposition is one to which our
citizens should give careful thought.
The growth of these three towns on
the proposed line has been phenome-
nal, yet 1t has come almost entirely
by reason of the natural resources
and advantages offered by this fav-
ored section, without any effort-or
at least without much or concen-
trated effort-on the part of our peo-
pie. Our growth and development
is indeed comething of which we may
all we'll feel proud. At the same
time, If we look the situation square
ly In the face, We can but justly feel
4 marked degree of shame that, with
all our natural resources and advant-
ages, we have been content to stand
idle and take just what has come to
us without effort on our part, while
we might have made our growth and
development double or treble what
it has been.
Let us take up and consider care
fully this proposition of Mr.. Thomp-
sons and then let us not stop at
that, but look for other opportunities
to develop ourselves and our county
and to forge forward at every point.
