ANDERSON FOLKS ARE
PLANNING FINE TRIP
MANY WILL co TO CITY OF
WASHINGTON
AN ANNUAL OUTING
This Section Will Furnish Large
Number of People For Trip
To Capital of Nation

Pr0tab1y more Anderson people will
| leave tomorrow for Washington than
nave ever gone from this city to tnc
capitol at one time before. Yesterday
dozens OF them were making their
plans for going on the expedition anu
additional numbers will probably ap
pear this morning. People from the
city and people from the country are
expecting to go on the jaunt.
The mountain excursion is another
great event for the people OF this
city and section and il will attract
almost as many passengers as the
trip to Washington
In 1880, 81 years ago. the idea of
an annual mountain excursion was
conceived by Col. s. Il. Pickens, gen
eral passenger agent of the South
Carolina railroad. Since that time the
mountain excursion. second Wcdnes-
day in August, has become Il thing of
necessity and many persons each year
make this their time to travel. The
trips offered combine pleasure, COM
fort and rest with ample time and
very reasonable rates.
Much attention Is paid to that DOR
ton Of the announcement which read
"S12 round trip 10 Washington" So
great Is the travel TO the national
capital that the Southern Railway op-
crates Il special train OH the after
noon of August 12. arriving in Was
ington the next morning. The Sea-
board Air Line and the Atlantic Coast
Line offer the same rate, and will
have an extra equipment to accommo-
date the crowds
Many OF the passengers to Wash
ington do not make that city their
final destination. but merely make
their journey to other points fall on
this day 80 that they may benefit by
the cheap rates. Under this rate one
can make the round trip to New York
for $50, about So less than it can be
made at regular rates. Some go to
Atlantic City, to Niagara Falls and to
various other points. thus getting very
low rates TO Norfolk, Richmond and
other points are offered.
To the mountains flock hundreds of
people on these excursions each Au-
gust. and already inquiries have been
made that would indicate large
crowd this year. The Southern Rail-
way will operate u special mountain
train from Charleston. running OIL
the same schedule as last year.

There has been much speculation
as to the nature of the tall steeple-
like bit Of scaffolding Just where the
Blue. Ridge passenger station Is. being
built. Some are under the impression
that 1t Is the frame work Of the tooth
pick" skyscraper Of which we have
heard O. lot. Others thing that It is q
landing stage for airships. The real
answer is that 1t Is the wireless tower
for war dispatches. anybody can tell
that It Is q wireless station by looking
Mt the wires.
Some people think they have quite
= Joke on the reporter OF The Intelli-
gencer who attended the reunion at
Carswell Institute. 1t was stated in
the report that the day was orderly,
etc. Since that time 1t has been stat

The truth OF the matter Is that the
fussing; whatever 1t was, started after
the newspaper. man left, and was not
around the speaking stand but In the
outskirts OF the crowd. -
Anderson is some hustler. Some
time ago work on the Blue Ridge sta
ton was hurried by electric light; the
Bell Telephone exchange was finished
by electric light: and now the ham
mers are ringing at night on the big
store being built on South Main street
by the Kress people for one of the fin
