Woodruff, Sept 30.-fIave you ever
railroad ticket to Spartanburg and
been on pins and needles" to get
aboard the train, when the ticket agent
informed you that this train was an
hour OF moro late? Then didn't you
give that G. & w. G. road down the
country? But, listen, Woodruff came
dangerously near not having any rail
road at all-and think what that would
have meant to the development Of the
town and country around it during the
decades before an automobile was ev-
er dreamed Of, much less invented and
put on the market. There are many
people living in this town and here
abouts that have no idea how nearly
Woodruff came to losing this railroad,
and how near it came to being built
through by Glenn Springs instead.
The story as gathered by your cor
respondent is as follows:

Further Information

There are many interesting facts
and incidents relative to the build
ing of the Charleston C Western Car
olina railway, and in connection with
the very interesting story above from
The Herald's woodruff correspondent
a few Of them are submitted:
For the construction of this road
the counties Of Spartanburg and Lau-
rens each voted $4,000 in bonds.
There were in addition number Of
private subscriptions. When the cleo
tion was held on this particular bond
issue, which was early in the sos, the
polling box was In the old court
house, where the CuddJHuitt depart
ment store stands on Morgan Square.
The city managers Of this election
were: Col. S. It. McCravy, Judge Geo.
w. Nichols and the late II. Fl. Thorn
son, brother Of ]. s. r. Thomson.
When this road was first organ
led, that portion OF it known as the
G., L.. & S.-Greenwood, Laurens and
Spartanburg-ha for its president u.
T. Verdery. Judge George w. Nichols
was the first secretary and treasurer,
serving in that capacity for several
years.
After a few years operation the
road was placed in the hands Of
receiver, and John B. Cleveland was
named receiver. Subsequently under
his supervision and sound manage
ment, the road was successfully OPP
Grated and Mr.. Cleveland was elected
president OF the G. &c w. G., in which
capacity he served for quite q num-
Der Of years In recent years the
road was purchased by the Atlantic
Coast Line, whose headquarters are
at Wilmington, NJ. C.

this part of t..e county. And imme-
diately the people in our part began
pulling for the road to come through
Woodruff. There were three men who
were most prominent in this work,
Major A. b. Woodruff, Col. II. j. Moore
and DR.. B. T. Kilgore. Dr.. Kilgore,
in the interest of the road, made a
/ trip to Baltimore, Md, to see J. w.
, Garrett, president Of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. They had this route
surveyed, Capt. Kirkland making the
! first survey.
The Other Route
But in the meanwhile another fac
ton was pulling for the road to go by
Walnut Grove and Cross Anchor Peo-
pie taking stock along both ways, try
ing to pull the new road their way.
Spartanburg COunty's Commissioners
To settle the matter the county ap-
pointed five directors, or commission
crs-4Major John Earl Bomar, Capt.
John N. Carlisle, frank Tremmier,
Capt Charles Berry and Col. r. P,
Todd
4 Lively Meeting
In certain meeting concerning
the road, Frank Tremmicr, who was
very much interested in the Walnut
Grove route, made a speech. In this
speech he told that they also had had
the road surveyed and that an esti-
mate on the cost Of building the road
showed that it was a cheaper route
by Walnut Grove, ending with these
words: Gentlemen, l have given you
the figures and figures do not lie."
Col Todd, who represented the Lau-
rens Woodruff faction Immediately
jumped to his feet and replied, "No
gentlemen, figures do not lie, but liars
certainly do figure sometimes"
Capt. Carlisle's Vote DeTided 1t
The vote was eventually cast. Two
were decidedly for the Woodruff
route and two were decidedly against.
Captain Carlisle seems to have been
the unknown quantity, but his vote
went for Woodruff.
The company Of Rice & Coleman
did the greater part Of the grading.
The first directors consisted Of the
five named commissioners, together
with Dr.. Kilgore, Major Woodruff and
Col Moore.
Maj. WOodruii's Faction Won
When the town limit was reached
another dispute arose as to whether
the road should run straight across
the town, cutting out that sharp curve
at the old fair grounds, or whether it
should run as it now lies. DR.. Kill
gore worked for the straight road
and Major Woodruff for it as it now
stands 1t would have cost $500
more to have run it straight, so Major
Woodruffs faction won out.
Climax to Story
The great climax to this story Is
this: The road went broke few
years later. All the private stockhold-
ers ever got for their invested money
was rec trip to Augusta Off about
three years to attend the annual stock
holders meetings. This occasion was
once red letter day in Woodruff.

butter record is the fourth highest
in the world in the junior two year

other heifers in the world of this
age that have ever made more than
Mankato Floa Ormsby Mercedes.
Five two year old heifers from
this sire, owned at the Mankato
Molstein Farms, average over 500
rounds of butter in year. There
are only fifteen Holstein sires in the
world that have five daughters that
average over 500 pounds Of butter
in year at two years of age. The
average production for all dairy
COWS in the world, including all the
poor ones, as well as the good ones,
is 100 pounds of butter per year.
The production of these heifers is
more than that of four average cows.
AS there is only one cow to feed it
profit would be from the good dairy
COWS, and then only one COW to
feed, house and care for, which
would show a larger net profit from
the one cow than from four average

THAT CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
II Should Manifest Itself Big In
Mankato This Season =,

MankdIO MS SSaoSH
Did you ever stop to think as you
were spending merry Christmases IN
the past in the midst of plenty, how
many are not as fortunate as you are.
While you are revealing in glow OF a
friendly fireside with costly presents
heaped on the tables, there are thou
sands of poor children, who believe
in Santa Claus, whose little hearts
ache the day through upon finding
their stockings empty on Christmas
morning. .
There is a chance for the man and
woman, who takes a pleasure In
good cheer along. Just send your
name and address. along to the Elks
Christmas committee In whatever
CITY or town YOU live in, and state
how many children you are willing
to protect against grief over the
empty stockings. You will be fur
nished a list of the needy children.
It is then up to you to select your
own presents. You pay not cent
more than you want to pay, but Xou
place every cent just where you
want it placed. You will gain no no.
toriety from the public, but when
you retire Christmas night it will be
with the happy thought that you
have made some poor kid happy ana
that is certainly worth while.
Mankato Elks Christmas committee
again call attention to the fact that
ali Christmas packages will have to
be delivered to the Elks club at once
because the packages are to be
brought to the homes Saturday.
