Elkhorn city. Ky.. May IL,

The story of the building OF the
Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Rail-
way from the coal fields in the
mountains OF Southwestern Virginia
TO the cotton fields OF the Carolinas
has been told and retold In the coll
unns OF the Manufacturers Record
until y has doubtless become well
known 10 the readers OF the paper.
And yet II has not been oyertold,
for Il is a story OF such remarkable
achievement In railroad building and
Of such far-reaching Importance in
the industrial development OF large
section OF the country, that II must
always awaken keen interest In the
minds OF such readers as find pleas
nre In the study OF question OF ma
terial progress.
0ther roads have been built over
more rugged mountains. through
longer tunnels. having higher bridges
with deeper cuts and more extensive
fills, and carrying along more thrill
ing curves. But not In the history
OF railroad construction has there
been built another. In this or any
other country. that. ross-sectioning
such a mountainous country, main
tains for so long distance so low
grade and such light curvatures.
Beginning az the coal levels high
up on the side OF the dividing ridge
between the waters OF the Clinch
River and the Big Sandy. the road
threads its way down the former
stream for number OF miles. then
darts away 70 begin Its wonderful
cross-mountain route TO the south.
Leaving the valley OF the Clinch
Il climb up and up. and then
through tunnel onto the watershed
OF Copper creek. whence II strikes
boldly across that stream by means
OF a 1400-foot steel yiaduct at a
height Of ffe feet above its bed
Thence II plunges through Clinch
Mountain and comes out high up on
the waters OF the Holston River.

iow-lying hills. From the Holston
Il soon crosses TO the Watauga watts

City Is comparatively easy. giving

tremendous climb that begins soon
after passing through that munich

Leaving Johnson City. the line
makes on southwark. soon strikes
into the gorge OF the Nolichucky
River. and begins the ascent OF the
northern side OF the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Twenty miles up the
NolIchucky loses It's name and be-
comes the Toe River but the rail-
road line follows 1t still up, and

come out on the southern slope OF
the mountain and begin its descent
into the rolling lands OF the Pied
mon plateau. But even this is found
no easy task. and the first few miles
OF the descent present engineering
problems as great as those ever

HOMEMADE Philosophy
by BEN FRANKLIN, JR.


kids been in game" OF course
we all know he was lead into it by
somebody elses' bad boy, and we
know, too, that his pa never
dreamed of such a thing; but you
had better go to work on him and
get it out of his system as soon as
possible.
Did it ever occur to you that
right here in this hustliLg town,
where, on the surface, every body
seems to be doing we'll, there are
people, and white people, at that,
who go hungry much of the time
because they haven't the earning
capacity to buy sufficient fooda
And some of them have well-to- do
kinspeople, too. They are not lazy
folks, but the victims of misfor-
tune and sickness and physical
disability. Somebody said, Il was
hungry and ye gave me no meat"
and every one of those he was
talking to went to hell. And this
is no almanac question, either.
The hustling farmer thanks the
Lord for every day of sunshine.
and he will pay out" next fall.
The trifling cuss who wants an
excuse for not working, thanks the
Lord for every shower, and will be
deeper in debt next fall. So there
is not much kicking about the
weather in the country. The towns
folk have corner on the weather
kick.
AS to the weather: Some people
think its going to keep on raining,
and some think it amt. | think so
too; so let that settle it and don't
bother any further about it.
AS to storms; Some people think
it is a sin to have storm pit, and
advance as raason that when the
good Lord wants you He will take
you away, wherever you may be,
and there is no use to try to dodge
the storm, Now, that is assuming,
in the first place, that the good
Lord would have you if you should
leave this world. Why do you 20
in the house when it rains or get
out of the house when its afireY
just stand still, ike fool, on the
railroad track until train hits
you, and you will find out whether
the Lord will have you or not.
Better give up that piece of Lon
sense and use every means of self
preservation you have at hand, and
if you've got storm pit when the
mighty whirl wind approaches lose
no time in sneaking into it.
Boys, there's lots of difference
in being tough" in general en-
durance and tough" in your
moral natures. The first is credit
to you and assists you to hold your
own, while the other is a blight
upon your life and leaves you with
out anything of your own to hold.
