PROGRESS IN CONSTRUCTION
Of The c., c. & 0. Railroad Near
Spartanburg, South Carolina
Are Being Rapidly Made.

Engineer John Hilton, of the Caro-
lima, Clinchfield and Ohio, formerly of
the Norfolk and Western, arrived in
the city Sunday night, says the Bristol
News and will spend few days with
hOmefolks: Mr.. Hilton is now at the
throttle on one of the work trains over
near Spartanburg, s. q. He says that
the construction work continues on
that end of the road. One of the big
river bridges has just been completed
but there rs still another larger bridge
to be put in which Twill be done right
away. Mr.. Hilton brought home a
large n, mber of photographs of bridge
and track construction work which give
some idea of the great work going on
in that section. According to the en-
gineer there are now five construction
trains at work on that end of the new
line. 1t will not be long until this
beautiful sweep of railroad, plowing
directly across the great Appalachian
range of mountains, will be completed,
uniting the Ohio Valley and the noun
tain coal fields with the Atlantic Sea
board.

GOV. PATTERSON
IN OLD BOSTON

Boston, Mass, Aug. 23.-GOv. M. r.
Patterson, Of Tennessee, was the target
for rapid fire of political questions on
how his home state stands in relation
to the credited disturbance in the g,o.p.
over the Taft policies. Gov. Patterson
limited his comment principally to the
extent of a gentle criticism of the ap-
pointment of the census enumerators
for Tennessee. Tennessee" he said,
" is solid democratic state. Yet Mr.
Taft has seen fit to name all republi-
cans. Mr.. Taft claims Tennessee is
debatable ground; do not agree with
him.
The governor is accompanied by Mrs.
Patterson, and they are busy sight
seeing about the city. They plan to
visit the battle-ground of the troops en-
gagged in the mimic warfare in an at
tempt to capture Boston. He is much
interested in the affair. He says he
doesn't know just how long he will be
in the city, but proposes to have good
time while he is here.
Ii was said that Mr.. Patterson'S visit
here was of political significance, and
that he was to have conference with
the president at the summer capital at
Beverly, but the governor denied that
this was the case and said it was doubt
full if he went TO Beverly.

ELIOT'S NEW RELIGION
PRONOUNCED ABSURD

Chicago, Aug. 23.-A spcial cable

town from Armagh especially to see
Archbishop Farley of, as did several
Irish bishops. His grace's attention
was directed to the recent pronounce
ment of DR.. Eliot as to what the twen-
tieth century religion was to consist of.
ats too absurd for anything" said
the archbishop. "There never was a
religion of the kind. There is no phil
osophy that does not contemplate the
supernatural. This man thinks that
America is going to do in the twentieth
century what will never be done--a
thing too preposterous-and he has no
more authority to talk upon matter
of that kind than you have. He is a
layman, but has got an idea that he
knows everything, suppose. But no,
that's too absurd"

In support of the statement that the

out, letters from departmental officials
at Washington were produced. The
communications were copies of those
addressed to Newell Sanders, in which
his advice and recommendation were
asked in the filling of certain federal
duties in the state.
1t is claimed that even without reas-
surances from Washington recent
events would tend to inspire the Evans

SANDERS HELP TO PIE. :"
Evans Men Assured of Federal Pat
ronage for Some time to Come.
Sanders Will Be Consulted

Word has come from the "powers
that be" at Washington to leaders of
the Evans faction of the republican
party in Tennessee that the sky is as
clear, if not clearer, than it has ever
been, and that no fear whatsoever for
the continued prosperity of the friends
of H. Clay Evans need be entertained.
1t is stated that Newell Sanders, chair
man of the republican executive COM
mittee, and one of the most prominent
Evans men in the state, will still be
called upon to recommend suitable
men for federal offices, from the high
est to the lowest.
A prominent local follower of Mr..
Evans said this morning that those at
the head of the national machine had
already given notice to Mr.. Sanders
that in every district of the state, with
the exception of the First and Second,
those of Brownlow and Austin, the

1000 DELEGATES
FOR GATHERING
SESSIONS SEPT. q, z, q.
Actual Demonstration of Road
Building in All Its Stages Will
Be a Great Feature There.

Fully 1000 delegates are expected to
attend the good roads convention call
ed by Gov. M. r. Patterson to be held
here September 21-23. These delegates
will come from every city and county
in Tennessee, and it is expected that a
great impetus to building good roads
will result.
The convention will be called to order
at noon Tuesday, September q, by
Gov. Patterson, in the hall of the house
of representatives. Five delegates have
been named from each county, $50 from
the state at large, and five from the
cities of Nashville, Knoxville, Chatta-
nooga, Bristol, Clarksville, Jackson and
Memphis. Lists of the names of the
delegations are daily being received by
w. d. Scruggs, secretary to Gov. Pat
terson, who has been conducting the
correspondence with the various county
and city officials.
In addition to the delegates mention
ed above the members of the Fifty-sixth
general assembly and the senator's and
representatives in congress will attend
the convention.

Memphis, Aug. 17.-After being APP
pointed committeeman by the state
wide forces to look after their interests
in Shelby county during the approach
ing election, Attorney VIM. P. Pearcy,
of this city, wrote today to Judge Ern-
est L. Bullock, of Jackson, and declin-
ed to accept the appointment, declaring
that he was not in sympathy with the
statewide movement, but was local
optionist. Mr.. Percy was loyal sup
porter of the late Senator Carmack in
his race for governor, but, in his letter
to Judge Bullock, he says that while
he worked for the Carmack interests,
he besought the deceased senator not
to declare for prohibition and state

is ATTACHED
TO SURVEY Of c. c. & 0.
Projected Line Would be Very De-
sirable for Interests of Large
Coal Fields IN Va.-KY.

The announcement that the G. G. 4
0. railroad is having a survey made
for connection with the Louisville &
Nashville railroad is taken with spe-
cial significance here in view of the
fact that it has been reported that the
Atlantic Coast Line is after the valua-
BILE coal road. A connection of the G.
G. & o.. with the Louisville 4 Nash
vile would give just what the latter
and the Atlantic Coast Line have been
wanting, provided the G. G. Il o. is the
property of the Atlantic Coast Line to
have and to hold.
A line that will give the Middlesboro
and Jellico fields located on the Louis
vile & Nashville, a shorter route to
Carolina points than the latter road
now affords by way of Knoxville, At
lanta, ETC., is, of course, thing much
to be desired by the coal interests OF
the two territories.
If the g. G. & 0. is in the market, il
is playing for the best bargain in ex-
tending its line, not only to the Louis.
vile & Nashville connection, but also
to connection with the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad at Elkhom and it is
stated that it will extend it ON to the
Norfolk & Western.
On the southern end the G. G. & o,
is making connection not only with
the Seaboard Air Line at Bostic, but is
also building on to Spartanburg, S. c.,
to connect with the Atlantic Coast
Line.
If there are not already some strings
to this line of road and il wants to sci
there are several opportunities for driv
ing bargain by reason of these various
important connections and by reason
of the fact that the G. c. & o. is con
structed over the short route from tn,
Virginia coal fields to the Carolinas.
1t is not OILY an important line fo
coal hauling, but connecting with tn
Louisville Il Nashville, the Chesapeake
g. Ohio and the Norfolk Il Western Oh

structed, will probably be most de

Actual Road Building,

One of the features of the convention
will be the actual demonstration of
road building in all its stages. This
work will be at a point in close prOX-
unity to the city, and will be under
the direction of engineers sent from the
good roads division of the department
of agriculture of the United States gov
eminent. Conveyances will be provid-
ed for all the delegates, and they will
be carried from the capitol to the scene
of the road building demonstration.
Many prominent speakers, versed in
road building, are to be on the program.
In the list are Sam G. Lancaster, for
merly of Jackson, Tenn, and now with
the good roads department at Wash
ington; P st. Julian Wilson, highway
commissioner of Virginia; w. S. KEEL
lar, engineer of good roads for Madison
county; Chas. w. Thatcher, of Wash
ington, D. c., and others whose names
are TO be announced later.
