which are not near diseased stalks.

Some Railroad RumOrS

We hear from an authentic
source that Pickens is in a fair
way to get another railroad.
Our sincere hope is that the ru-
NOR NAV be realized.
Mr.. II. N. Jenkins, a former
citizen Of this county, but for
the past few years. a resident of
the Old North State, Informed
us that gentleman by name of
Mr.. Schaeffer, a large timber
man, has in view the extension
of railroad from his timber in
terests in Western North Carroll
ma down to this place.
Mr.. Schaeffer now owns and
operates a road from Rosman,
N. O.. to within a mile and a
half of the Powell place in Reedy
Cove, and Mr.. S. intends to cross
the mountain, and come on this
side to some timber, and if the
proper inducements are held out
he will extend the line to Pick
ems, and connect with the Pick
ems Railroad. This will give
the Southern another route to
to the West. We gather from
the information given US, that
if this road is built, the Southern
will use it to route their trains
to Asheville, thus doing away
/ with their dangerous Saluda
grade. The survey made years
ago by Capt. Kirk, gives an easy
grade across the mountain over
the route that may be used, and
with the latter-day knowledge
Of surveying, Capt, Kinks work
can be improved upon.
| We hope that this talk is not
'buncombe" and that the peo-
pie of Pickens will get in touch
with Mr.. Schaeffer and pull the
road on to Pickens.
This road should come down
! the Keowee valley and cut acoss
by Six Mile and on to Piclxens.
This would open up a fine sec
OF Pickens county, and also de-
velop a portion Of Oconee coun-
ty, that needs a railroad to- pull
it out of the kinks.
We would suggest to our EN-
! terprising business people that
they have a meeting and then
have their spokesman get in
touch with Mr.. Schaeffer and
/ see what can be what in
ducement to hold out to him.
Pickens needs a road across
her borders, and here, it seems
to us, is a chance to get it, and
at small cost.
Portions of this county needs
developing, and the development
Will never come until railroad
runs through the section, and on
across the mountain. Another
thing, the town of Pickens needs
something to stir her up. and
give her new life, and putting
! her on a through line of railroad
will do as much as ANYTHING to
keep her on the map.

Why Are We Great?

America is a great country, and
much of that greatness is due to the
ability and fearlessness of the peo-
pie in thinking and acting for
themselves.
we elect our chief officers for
two to four years, and if they dom
suit us we kick them out at the end
Of their terms.
We have a habit of frankly and in
sistently telling our public servants
what we expect of them, and We un-
blushingly give them to understand
that if they do not make good we
will have no further use for them.
Nearly everybody works in this
country, and drones are the isolated
exceptions.
We have no kings or employers,
or dukes or counts, for in this coun-
try every man is king in his own
right, with more brains than hall
the crowned heads Of Europe.
Yet, America is great country
and it will always be great so long as
we reverence brain and Drawn in

supervisors, assistant supervisors and
foremen who have kept their sections
of the track the nearest to perfec-
ton, according to III. T. b. Runk, To-
cal agent. This award is made every
year by the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania after strict inspection over
all divisions of the railroad. 1t IS
the idea of the Pennsylvania that the
awarding of prizes not only tents to
encourage better and more careful
work, but that the friendly rivalry
thus created promotes personal in
tdrest in the work of each man whie h
might otherwise be lacking. This
makes for better railroad,
To secure the data upon which to
award the track prizes committee
OF officers goes over the line every
Jew weeks in a special car. One
method used to detect rough pieces
of track is to place 2lasses of water
on the stills of two rear windows,
and every spill" of waster is count
ed against the score of the section
over which the train is passing.
To make the record more accurate
a specially designed machine is used
to register every movement of the
car, either horizontally or vertically.
This instrument is not infalliable,
and there are a lot of things about
