Anderson to Marietta


While waiting on train con-
nections at Belton one day last
week, the editor walked over to
Hotel Geer, where a group of
gentlemen were engaged in an
earnest conversation. 1t was
not a political gathering, nor
were they discussing politics, as
might naturally be supposed,
for the first words we heard
were; Build it by Easley to
Pickens and on to Marietta. "
We at once became interested
and took a seat to hear more of
that kind of talk. The gentle
man leading the conversation
and who is aboye quoted was
Mr.. R. Mayes Cleveland, OF Ma
rietta. He had just been to An
derson, where he had had a con-
ference with the mayor-elect,
Mr.. Holleman. and other prom
inent business men. discussing
with them a plan by which An
derson, Abbeville. and other
points south of this place could
get a direct outlet to the west.
The plan is to build a railroad
fiom Abbeville or Anderson by
way of Easley and Pickens and
tap the G. & K. at Marietta. 1t
is true, the G. & K. has not yet
crossed the mountains, but Mr..
Cleveland was most sanguine
that it would be most vigorous
ly pushed until the line was put
through to Knoxville. He has
been an earnest advocate of this
road for many years, and his # :
forts have been unceasing, un-
til today he sees the fruits of his
labors. He is on the inside OF
the plans of the promoters, and
while he can not talk much, he
gave every assurance that the
road would be pushed to COM
pletion. This scheme would be
most feasible. Should it start
from Abbeville, it would ira
verse Anderson and Pi;kens
counties. from one side to the
other. and would pass through
as fine a farming section as can
be found in the State. Besides,
it would open up new territory
for business enterprises and in
a short while towns and cities
and manufacturing industries
would spring up where corn and
cotton now grow.
Anderson and Abbeville need
this outlet badly. They are now
practically bottled up, as far as
the coal fields Of the west are
concerned, and they would have
a direct line to these. Pickens
needs it for the same reason.
Why not build it!

AWFUL TRAGEDY
LAST SATURDAY
Brooks Gordon, Colored, Lynch
ed for AssauIting aPromi-
- nent Lady.

Last Saturday the quiet and
peace of the Cross Roads
nei9hborhood was suddenly dis
turbed and in the brief space of
four or five hours the whole
country became aroused and
men We're hunting in every di-
rection for one Brooks Gordon.
a colored bov about II years old.
Gordon had assaulted the wife
of a prominent citizen of that
section. According to the facts
given us by a near relative of
the lady they are as follows:
The lady was hoeing cotton in
field three or four hundred
yards from her home. She was
alone. About 10 o'clock she
went to a spring, which was in
the edge of the woods near the
field. to get some water. AS she
went to the spring she saw no
signs of any one, but upon her
return to the field she found
Brooks Gordon standing in the
path with a shot gun and pistol.
The lady walked around him
and passed on up the path, At
ter she had gone four or five
steps he ran up and took hold of
her, but she being a rather stout
woman, tore loose from him and
ran into the field. He remained
in the path a few minutes and
then followed her to the field.
Bv this time she had started to
another field where her hus
band was at work, the negro
pursuing. When within 20 or
25 yards, he fired on her with
the shotgun, the load taking eff
feet in the shoulders, back of
the head and neck. This did
not stop her, and the negro re-
loading his gun, ran after her
and fired a second time, the shot
striking her in the back Of the
head. Though she had from 30
to 10 shot in her body, she ran
a half mile or more before help
reached her. She did not find
her husband, he having finished
the work where she thought he
was and gone to another field,
some distance away, to haul
oats. Not finding HIM, she went
toward a neighbor's house. The
nei@hbors hearing her cries
went to her rescue, and found
her very bloody and almost ex-
iausted, but she Immediately
named the negro and told what
had happened. \ physician
was at once summoned and
soon at her bedside.
The negro at once made for
the mountains but soon the
woods, roads, fields and noun
tains were being searched,
watched and guarded by some
800 to $50 of the citizens of the
county. While others in automo-
hiles We're speeding to different
cars along the mountains to
put out guards, and others We're
using the telephone lines in all
directions. 1t was the telephone
which led to his capture. He
was in a store at Pumpkintown
when the message reached there
OF his horrible deed but stayed
ONLY a minute and as soon as he
left some men were notified and
he was soon captured. He
was carried back before the
lady and confessed his guilt.

blood poison had set in and
stated that amputation was
necessary. Wednesday of last
week the arm was taken off
between the elbow and shoulder,
and it was stated that it was
uncertain whether this opera
tion would save the boys life.
These facts NAV not be cor
rect in every detail as they were
given to us by a gentlemen who
heard of the trouble.

The past week, so unusually
wet, has greatly retarded farm
ing operations. The crop pros
poets, both corn and cotton, are
the sorriest seen in this section
in several years, and if the wet
weather continues much longer
it looks as though they would
be failures.
