that lawyer who complained to the su-
preme court some time ago that the
newspapers are making it more diff

inals, it seems to us that the state is
to be congratulated whether the news
papers deserve any credit or not.

railroad is experiencing trouble with
serious landslide at HoneyCutt noun
tain. q few miles north of Marion, y.
c. Freight traffic has been blocked
for several days on this road and only
today were the passenger trains able
to make the trip from Tennessee to
South Carolina without being detour-
ed. A temporary track has been
built around the slide and this will be
used until the mountain of dirt has
passed over the track which was in
it's course. There are many who think
that it will not move further down
the mountain side and that the rall-
road will be compelled to tunhei
through the veritable mountain OF
stone and earth that has slid for sew
eral miles.

The Philadelphia Record claims most
of the glory of Gettysburg. on the
Union side, for Pennsylvania. It SAYS
The battle was not only fought on
Pennsylvania soil. but it was in great
measure fought by Pennsylu3nians
This state furnished the commander Of
the army and large proportion of his
most important lieutenants; it supplied
about a quarter Of the army; troops
enough to compose a couple of army
corps as they were usually constitut-
ed; and it was the sons Of Pennsylval-
ia who upheld the cause Of an indis-
soluble Union of indestructible states
at tie precise point where the Climax
of the battle was reached, and whe~e
the cause Of disuniOn passed its zenith
and entered upon its decline" But
every time the world hears the name
of Gettysburg it thinks of none of these
things. 1t recalls Lee and Longstreet
and Pickett's charge.
