There are few sections Of the South
which can boast Of II more general
prosperity today than EXISTS ia the
Piedmont section Of South Carolina
Anderson in particular but what
would mean even II greater industrial
awakening Is the extension OF scyc-
raj Of the lines of the Southern Rail
way hereinafter referred TO.
Starting with the least important, |
VIII say that II would AT least open up
fertile farming section by extend
ing the line from Bate hurg To Green
wOOd-a section which would. traycrS-
ed by IL railroad, prosper exceedingly.
and prove TO the company to be mon
ey well invested. Then let us 20 to
Belton, take the Blue Ridge via An
dersOn to WalhallH, and consider the
undertaking from this terminus cross
country to Clayton, Ga. Fustcrcd
years ago by the immortal Calhoun.
this course Is already graded, with
the exception OF the minor part or Il
huge tunnel, uhe greater part OF
which was eXcavated years ago. This
route Is logical, but we will have to
go somewhat further to zee why 1t
would be O profitable undertaking.
Leaving Clayton, Ga. '"e 20 over
the Tallulah Falls branch OF the
Southern to Franklin. y. G. Here We
encounter strip OF territory some
fifteen miles in length which was
surveyed FIVE decades ago and the diff
iiculties encountered In the construc-
tion OF the road found to be small,
but, on account OF the comparative
poorness of the country, while having
right-of-way. the road has not been
constructed. After several prior at
tempts to pass legislation in regard
to the matter, however, the last ses-
SION OF the general assembly OF North
Carolina passed an act granting them
three years within which to put the
road through; at the end OF which
time, defaulting. their right-of-way
Will be remanded. Therefore, this
makes the laying of this link a GER
taiuty within n comparatively reason
able time. From Almond the Murphy
branch leads to Bushnell. from which
point line has been In the making
toward Knoxville for several years
and would have been long since COM
pleted but for the fact that an injunc-
ton was Issued against further one
rations by holders of water-power
properties.
BY giving better railroad facilities
to this section OF North Carolina, 1t
would soon prove to be the most pop

BROCADED GOWNS
SUGGEST RICHES
And They Are Best Worn at the Opera and Other
Functions Of Brilliance

II UNLIMITED wealth is suggested
l by collection of brocaded
gowns designed for wear at the
opera. For beauty Of fabric and In
diyjduality Of design, that collection
is amazing. But it is not more aston
ishing than is It's importers serene
confidence in her ability TO sell every
model before the beginning Of 1918.
She bases her faith upon the fact that,
whereas formerly brocades were worn
only by women avowedly Of, or past,
middle age, they now are also worn by
young matrons and debutantes.
Striking effects are produced with
black and gold or silver. and among
the older set of matrons this combina-
ton is popular, since, whenever TOO
brilliant for an individuals taste, 1t
may be toned down by discreet appli-
cations Of yelling. But the ultra-smart
brocaded gown does not permit any
thing to dim scntilla Of its glitter
1t delights in being a vivid affair OF
pink, blue, green, mauve or maize
threaded with gold or silver and illumi-
mated with strings Of "emeralds," sap
phires," rhinestones or jets
Jets of Diamond-like Brilliance.
For Jets can illume. They look like
black diamonds on a certain model Of
blue and gold brocaded satin. That Is
to say, the skirt is satin, for the bodice
and, in fact, the foundation Of the
creation are Of white tulle mounted
upon something really substantial. The
tulle, folded broadly about the figure
at the bust line, runs over the
shoulders IN straps, which gradually
widen to the waist, beneath which IT
shows only at the sides-on the hips
where the skirts seams are not Joined.
The skirt, running at front and back
above the waist and under the cross
wise strip Of tulle, actually forming the
bodice as well as the lower line Of its
square decolletage, falls plainly about
the figure to the knees. Thereabout
indefinite drapings begin TO appear, and

good people were so long as even one
company was selling milk that was not
safe.
Then some one took me TO see one
Of Nathan Strauss milk stations and
| heard of the fight Mr.. Straus was
making to have pasteurization Of all
milk required by law.
There were numerous laws and
many good ones about the proper
handling and labelling of milk, but
there were so many loopholes through
which the careless or dishonest vender
might slip. If the law required pas
teurization Of all milk, | was told, no
germ could escape and at least one
menace to the baby's life would be re-
moved. And so ] wrote my playlet,
and few days ago the bill Mr.. Straus
was working for was passed.

Medisval simplicity Of design dis
tinguishes a coral and silver brocade
whose underslip of two straight widths
Of the material Is trimmed from bust
to knees with a double row OF silver
garnishing. These rows, when joined
below the knees, form an exaegeratedly
long and slender point down the centre
OF the front. At the back the silver
trimming, starting at the shoulders,
outlines a sharp V-shsped, decollete
little cape Of the brocade. This, run
ming over and partly hiding rather
wide belt, ends as narrow point on
the hips Of a wide-fowing train Of the
material.
Starting at the waist line this train
takes the form Of sn overskirt with
open fronts dropping to the hips and
gradually frightening at the sides as
it ripples toward the back. The bro
caded bodice, blodsing a trife over the
girdle, at front has flesh tulle elbow
sleeves and V decolletage outlined
with folds of flesh tulle, which cross
the shoulders broadly, but at back
taper to accord with the pointed cut
out of its cape effect.

A Plots a Plot, However.

Notwithstanding the didactic purpose
Of her little sketch, Miss Clayton did
not forget that it is the dramatists
purpose 10 amuse and 20 arouse emo
tons. The skit was not q TRADE
against the diseasebreeding practice,
but it was delightful little drama
with a moral. Love, the crook, the
reformer maiden and all popular ele-
ments were successfully blended in
this short literary effort.
Miss Clayton showed herself to be
pleasing actress, too, in her imperson-
alton Of the other heroine, Miss
Ermyntrude Dooley, for it was the
wicked milk-prince's daughter who is
the love-story heroine. Whatever
moralizing there was seemed incident
al, and in consequence the presenta-
ton was emotional and highly enjoy
able.
The wicked milk-baron was impervi-
GUS TO any human softening. He was
adamant He was an implacable engine
Of destruction-but only on the milk
question.
II has been his common practice 70
dilute milk with water whenever there
was a shortage, or when any other
accident might occur, but when his
daughter became infected with tuber-
cular germ from the milk which her
father supplied-she has tuberculosis
of the spine-he reforms. And then
resolves TO forswear all malpractice
His milk shall in future be all that
most stringent of Investigations can
ask. An all-round reconciliation oc-
curs--as the curtain falls.
The Mayor and Mr.. Straus Present.
At the dress rehearsal of this per-
formanee, which occurred E few days
ago at the Maxine Elliott Theatre,
enthusiasm was displayed by the audi
ence, among whom were Mayor Mitchell
and Nathan Straus. Thew were vast
" pleased by the performance, and
predicted that it would be of great
service to the cause of pure milk
and Mr.. Straus conferred on Miss
Clayton the title Of Daughter of the
Pure Milk Crusade" All Of which goes
70 show that one can put love and
fighting spirit for humanity into the
daily task, as Miss Clayton has done.
