CONGRATULATES THE BLUE RIDGE New Move to Help Anderson is Gratefully Received by the Chamber of Commerce [editor The Intelligencer: Tho Blue Ridge Railway Tuesday Look a great step for the betterment pf Anderson, and representing the ['bamber- of Commerce. 1 wish to congratulate them. The inauguration 3? the gas-electric service to Walhal la based on the schedule as given to Dur transportation committee gives Lo Anderdon a magnificent local ser vice to all points on the Blue Ridge. Capt. Jno. R. Anderson deserves the thanks of our people. The new service will enable persons along thc Blue. Ridge to come to Anderson at. Almost any time, transact their bus iness here and return to their homes he same day. The new service will be as modern j ind up to date as any in the United States and of immense benefit to local ! retail trade and to Anderson's many patrons along the Blue Ridge. In addition to this the new service makes ?t possible to connect with absolute ly all trains on the main line of the Southern. Captain Anderdon advises is that the new service will be exten sively advertised locally and General Passenger Agent McGee, advises that the service will be extensively ad vertised in Atlanta, Columbia and elsewhere by the Passenger d?part irent of the Southern. Henceforth, all persons travelling to Anderson can make splendid connections for this .Ity from the North, Eeast and West. We also congratulate Capt. Ander ion on his decisiou to do away "with the present passenger equipment on he Blue Ridge und substitute for the jame au all-steel equipment, fully Mjual to that used by any railroad ; va to ni in the country. This is a big move. The Blue Ridge Railway has in ev ;ry respect met the requests of our organization, and has done even more than we asked. They deserve the thanks of all the people living along the Blue Ridge Railway or travelling/ jver lt. The next step now is to get the Blue Ridge Railway completed, lt will be. \'o one ls asleep on the proposition. What a city located in a thickly jettied country, such as ours, really needs ls good local service over ita transportation lines, or those linea reaching the people within 50 miles jf the city, giving to those people, luick, efllcient, modern and frequent service. The Blue ?Ridge is to do this. The average city of 60,000 or lesB, transacts over 80 per cent of Its busi ness with people living - within 60 miles from such city, and therefore, mch are the people to be reached, md to whom the best possible ser vice should be given. That ia what Anderson really wanta, rbis ahe will have tb abundance upon the inauguration ot this new ser vice, which together with the ncrvtco wer the G. S. & A. Lines, will give the city absolutely the beat local su burban and country service in the State. Greenville, Spartanburg, Co lumbia, Charleston or no other city in the state will have more traine per lay reaching the people within a ra il us of ISO Ailes, than Anderson. The 'great future, or near future, feet before Anderson ia undoubtedly the completion of the Bine Ridge for the con sum at lon of which it ls be lieved; President Fairfax Harrison ia to give hts best efforts, but swatting that day. we shall now have ? splen lid local- service to all parta ot An leraon'a legitimate trade territory, the very beat tn the whole at at e.
