That Railroad.

From a personal letter to the
editor of The Sentinel from Mr.
R. Mayes Cleveland of Marietta,
we take the liberty Of publish
ing the following:
Il thank you very much for
the piece written in regard to
the Marietta and Anderson R.
r. The more I think Of it the
better I am convinced it is just
the thing for Marietta, Pickens,
Easley and Anderson; and it
would be the shortest road from
Augusta. Ca. to Knoxville,
Tenn. by the Savannah Valley
R. R., to Anderson, thence to
Easley, P.ckens and Marietta.
This is our best route taking
everything into consideration
Just two links to build Anderson
to Easley, Pickens to Marietta.
/ know this ia the most feasible
route and will help Pickens very
materially. You could not do a
better thing than work for this
road for the good of Pickens,
and if we all would concentrate
our efforts ON this line we can
interest capitalists and build the
thing. Write it. boost 1t,
whoop it and never stop until
you get it. Your town is more
to be benefited than anyone on
the line, I hope to see this road
IN operation. The engineers
have placed stakes over Gap
creek gap on top of the noun
tain. Looks good to me-

Soliioquy of a Horse
Continued

That newspaper man last
week made me say, that at one
Sunday school I heard it said
there We're about seventy-fiye
children deserted by their pa
rents. I didn't say parents I
said teachers. 1t is such a COM
mon thing for children to be
deserted by parents at Sunday
school that I meyer would have
thought of saying anything
about that, but, as a horse sees
it, a teacher ought to be asha.n-
ed to run off to a Sunday picnic
and have their pupils with no
one to teach them. If the
tea oher values the Sunday
school so little, how can they
expect the pupils to think high
ly of it!
Well, after that horse kicked
Uncle Phil" men folks were a
little watchful, and so were we
horses. We tried to find out
how these people We're worship
ing the being they call God.
We saw people: going in and out
Of the church, it is true, but
most of them did not go in.
Some Of these Sunday school
teachers did not 90 in. They
must have had a fine time. for
they shook hands and laughed,
and the young women kissed
each other, and the Young men
wanted to; no, no, not kiss each
but the young women,
How do I know? I heard Frank
tell Mary so as we went home.
Talk about shaking hands,
there We're several men there
that just went around hunting
up people to shake hands with,
they petted the babies and call
ed them pretty where their
mothers and fathers could hear
them. L think they called these
men who shook hands so much,
candidates. One man would
pat people on the back and say
I'm running for my old Office
again. [ want you to help me. )"
And another would come along
and shake hands with the same
fellow and say, I am counting
on you to help me keep my Of.
flee another term,'' y and the
fellow promised one to help him
get it, and the other to help him
keep it. And we horses wonder
ed how he could doit. Itsound-
ed strange to US. Some wanted
to be clerk Of something, some
wanted to be sheriff; of some
where, but none wanted to be
coroner. We horses concluded
there wasn't enough in it.
Some fellows talked about
going to the legislature, and one
man was there who had already
been. He gave them a fine
speech" in the church, they
said, but we horses, mules and
donkies on the outside couldn't
hear anything.

One day while out hunting l saw a
squirrel on the side of a tree, but
when l drew up my gun to shoot him
he slipped around the tree out of
sight. l then commenced going
around in a circle to get a shot, but
the little mischief kept creeping
around out of sight. When l arrived
al the starting point l thought would
fooi that squirrel. l started in
straight line to point in the circum-
ference of the circle, cutting of an
arc of the circle of 120 degrees, then
across, cutting off another arc of 120
degrees, then across to the starting
point, Z thus dividing the circle into
three equal acres of 120 degrees each
But / didn't get my squirrel, for he
ran up the tree and crawled in a hole
Now the diameter of the circle was

inches did l travel in going around

In Leipsic, they speak of Hartmann
as Bach specialist; in Berlin he was
called 1.-The greatest Paganinni player
since the time OF Paganinni himself;
in Prague the critics and the public
declared that no one could play Tscha-
ikowsky concerto as he did; in Nor
way, Grieg said to him: You are the
only one who ever played my sonatas
as / would like them to sound" In
London, Hartmann created sensation
with his dashing performance of Hun
garian melodies and Sarasate's Span
ish dances; in Paris the public wor-
ships him as the ideal interpreter of
Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps This
very disparity of opinion is the great
est possible tribute to Hartmann s
versatile and consummate art, for
there seems to be in it something for
every listener, whether he be a child
OF the sunny south with native appre-
citation of pretty melody and rythmical
movement, or whether he be a stern
classicist from the trans-alpine world,
hide-bound with tradition, and wrap
ped in the cloak Of classicism. The
strength of Hartnlann's musical equip
ment, the warmth and sincerity OF his
temperament, the charm of his mag
netic personality. and the sheer love
illness of his tone viii win the day for
Hartmann in this country, for there
has not yet been born the nation which
can resist the appeal beautiful in art
when it is based on that mighty tri-
nifty, inspiration, emotion and intellect
