ANDERSON AND THE SOUTHERN.

When it was announced that President Harrison would
come to Anderson business appccag eter
tram service west OF Anderson thought would be good get
up petitions asking the president of The Southern give earnest
consideration to the opening of the line from Waaa Clayton
Ca and thcncehy Sundry connections TO Knoxville
AS Stepin this direction, to the railway company
that even its local business might be benefited without
on decided TO ask that the gascectc coach which now
operates ut loss between Anderson and Greenvc switched
the line west of here, taking in Westminster Walhala
The gaeecr caris said to be anything success
The railroad people admit themselves could not be any more
dead loss when operated between Waa Anderson This
proposed plan Of getting petitions any means to 90 over
the head of Capt Johp Anderson in connection with
him. to back him up anything that might ask for the road
Capt Anderson loves the Blue Ridge road more than any
human being and more ambitious for its extension he loves An
derson; his personal interests all here. has such a
long nara hight to get the road where that the public not
hesitate to back him and to encourage him anything that the
road will do for the development of Improvement of
the country.
Heretofore pointed out that the Blue Ridge is not oper
ated as to schedules and connections way that quite to the
advantage of Anderson The Anderson stands in the
Union station attached the Columbia and Geenve
train has got to be Statewide joke and dscreds this city,
When the road from Columbia projected was stpu
lated in the charter that Anderson many ran
gay our OF Commqa as GeenHle and would ike to- inquire
If this considerations has been by The Southern Rail
way Any one who thinks so has but TO Beton and
see the trains gbsb} their way Greeveice clean ectr
caly lighted, steel frame coaches Pulmans once day
And yet We have heard that under Capt John Audesons
P @ o nn the u M Ridge has been relatively the pay
zaon a srf dome mot n the Soqe Railway This great ogan
has a ReH 5 made n m Those ;s people saranbs sta
other asking aEe daa no ss{ a T v ab0a % get
for anything adSw will Capt Anderson the Southern Raiwa
know mat the people here dissatisfied train conditions
with poor aee9mp9daons unless protest appeal some kind
We see Ioaatn people Denver and Sandy Springs and
Pendeton and College Seneca petonnp for
Better train service The Southern Railway will make adeoate in
vesigainn before anythingis dane. W W "
here is no reason for strained
OF anderson and de Southern Railway city of Anderson T
commercial whole should appreciate the of the Southern
Ridge 10 buid handsome station here and houId
t et Of freight and believe the saptn
to Tuake discrimination The Southern is great railway
needs it The Southern should hold ou me
helping hand to Anderson city that has lifted itself by pulling at its
own bootStrapss g.7sse % 80
Clemson College within the territory Andersen
and yet much ofthe trade and nearly all of that
muny gaeso Greenvi is miles further better train
service If there spur track from the Blue Ridge
we believe hathe trade of Anderson would appreciated
i quarter of million dollars year.
Again to the proposition petition to be circulated in
the towns west Of Anderson for the Southern Railway investigate
and it would the company larger
number Of people and relieve conditions greater degree
the shuttle operated between and Greenye
the gaselectc switched from that part which has
many trains to the western end of the Blue Ridge.
