lice court this morning. Judge Will

make trouble.

Winston-Salem, N. c., Oct. 27.-A
movement looking tc the erection of a
monument in memory of North Caro-
lima soldiers who fought at the battle
of Gettysburg was inaugurated at the
annual meeting Of the state Daughters
OF the Confederacy here tolay. The
plan is to have the name of every Car

carved on a marble dome. on which
shall rest a marble shaft.
1t was announced that $4,000 of the
necessary $4,000 already has been
pledged. A handsome painting of the
great seal of North Carolina also was
presented to the organization. An adj
dress was delivered by Mrs. Cornelia
E. Stone, of Texas, ex-president gen.
eral of the u. D. c., followed by the
election of officers, all the old officers
being reelected.

eleanor" in Pickens Sentinel, Octo-
Der 26th.
Yes, that railroad you have been
talking about is coming, and when it
comes it will be from Greenville to
Knoxville. The Estatoe Gap is the
best crossing in the State. 1t has
been surveyed from Holly Springs
church in this county to BOSNIAN, N.
c. and shows the best grades any,
where on the mountains. The distance
is eighteen miles, then from Rosman
to Webster, N. c., abouti5 so miles. One
branch of the Tennessee heads near
Webster and runs within a few miles
of Maryville, Tenn, with a road already
built from there to Knoxville, a dis
lance of about sixty miles. Then from
Holly Springs church tc Marietta
about eighteen miles down the Oolen-
oy and Saluda valleys through as fer
tile land as any to be found in the
State with timber in abundance On
each side. This is a natural gateway,
no tal ripple en- either stream. This
is the most direct and most practical
BILE route to Knoxville and will be the
shortest route to the coal fields of
ennessee, and will cross the. noun
tains through the finest body of tim
Der that can be found. 1t will pass
through a section of country unsur-
passed for scenery, mountain resorts,
water power and many other re-
sources; a section which badly needs
developing. This road would cross

ward tC Lake ToXaWay, and one at
Sylvia near Webster from Asheville to-
Murphy. This route will be as ear to
Asheville as the present one and more
than fifty miles nearer to Knoxville.
Taking the line from GreenvilIe to
Marietta and from eMaryville to Knox
vile, which has already been built,
there would net be but>little over one
hundred miles to be built. The peo-
pie along the Saluda and Oolenoy
would welcome the road but they are

many inducements in location and adj
vantages are in this route. There are

been built; but the crossing CT the
Blue Ridge is the trouble. The Ma
rietta road has run up to the foot of
the mountains and stopped, and if it
ever goes further it will be from Ma
rietta up the Oolency to Estatoe gap.
1t is onyl a matter of time, and that
is not far distant when a road will go
through that gap. A road has been
built from Seviersville to Knoxville,
about thirty-five miles, and / under
stand the objects r to come by Bre-
ward to Marietta. 1t. could come by
W~aynesville and Rosman through the
Estatoe gap and to Greenville and be
as ear as by Brevard with such a
survey as they would have to make to
cross the mountains. his survey
would probably not be as good from
S~evierville to Rosman as the other
from Maryville to Rcsman and might
be longer, but would be far better than
by Brevard on account of crossing the
mountains.
Remember this: 1t will not be long
until the Southern will extend the Cr.-
lumbia and GreenvilIe line through
one of these routes. 1t will be the
most direct line from Charleston to
Knoxville.

A sOutherner on the Ticket

Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama,
Is unquestionably of presidential size,
His leadership of the Democratic ma
jority on the floor of the house, has
never been excelled for skill, force
and definite direction. 1t is a respect
full hearing from al lover the country
which Senator Bankhead, of the saem
state, will have in naming him for the
Democratic nomination.
Has the time come when it is expe-
dent for the Democracy to nominate a
southerner living in the south for the
presidency? 1t has not been thought
SO since the civil war. 1t has not even
been thought expedient to give the
south second place on the ticket. The
nearest approach to this was the nam
ing on the Parker ticket in 1904 of
Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia. But
that is essentially a northern state.
Carlisle, OF Kentucky( had a few votes
for president in the conventions of
1884 and 1892: Blackburn. of Kentucky
and Tillman of South Carolina, in
1886; Williams, of Mississippi, in 1904.
But they were merely complimentary
Yet the wal is over. A southern
Democrat and former Confederate
soldier is chief Justice of the United
States supreme court by appointment

traces of the sectional line will be OBJ

er are now operated by electricity.

The. Southern Power concern is spend
ing millions of dollars, of course, and
