When the train leaving Anderdon ut 7:20j arrived at Walhalla there were bu tween 40 and ??<) visitors aboard. It wa? indeed au "Anderson" train. At tho throttle was I bat veteran driver of the fussy gas-electric-Holcombe Anderson, and thc ticket taker was that prince of railroad men. Capt. W. "Julo" Anderson. -r And Just for good measure Capt? ffiln II. t/ghderson, the M upc ri ii tendent: 'ot Sfhcf r?irtd, mude one of the "boosters." Arriving at Walhalla^thc party was mut by In a truly hospitable manner by the citizens of that staunch old community, und after a few minutes of handshaking and becoming ac quainted, the /arti"' was soon put aboard for a'trnsmdntarie ride. For tlie day wa? being celebrated us much ns a compliment to thtTp?ople of Wal halla for building a "speedwuy" over the mountains as it was on be ac count of thu action of thc officials of thu Hlue Ridge and tho Southern Rali way in putting on the gas-electric train. > ht That trip was a revelation to every visitor who hud been given thu oppor tunity to see what Walhalla hus been doing in the way of road building. Thu reporter for The Intelligencer waa taken aboard a Chalmers by Col. R. T. Jayncs, and In 23 minutes after leaving the hotel, the car had passed thu home of Mr. Pincher on tho top of Stump House Mountuin. The road wus os smooth as Anderson's much boasted Wllllumston highway. Prom there to Mountain rest, the home of Albert Brown, the1 superintendent of construction of .lids mountain high way, thu trip was'uiude in very fast timo, with the exception of one short stretch of a quoTler of" a mlle where th? force is now al.work widening and grading thc road) 'anti' this will be completed by the end of the week. The time from Walhalla'to Mr. Brown's wns made in 45 minutos, 12 miles. This car did hov '??dp at Russell's but went on a mile further to Whit mlrc'B in Italian county, Georgia, and the strete.ii from Albert Brown's waa made in 22 minutes, or 18 minutes to Russell's. It requires Just exactly flvo minutes to climb Callas Mountain on the way. In other words the run ning time from Walhalla to Russell's wns less than an hour and a quarter, whereas before tilia, road work was done it required '?MP?'day. That is a great achievement. Col. Jayncs, who promotes this high way, and Albert Brown, who super vised the hean f"VfKsaUfcllon work on Callas mountain, are Justly proud of what has been done. The sturdy citizens of Walhalla gave $1,000 for the work and the mountaineers made lt about $5,000 ?h.H^VrM. value. Mr. Brown said that he could hard ly believe what had buen accomplish ed, wheo he considers the condition of the road ono-jreer ago compared with its prcsenWsp||ndld condition. The road is bullB unfit a survey made by I. W. IlarrwSfi .BW1 W. C. Hughs of Walhalla who spent two weeks up on it Inst summer. The road over Stump House Mountain was surveyed some 15 years ago by Col. Jno. V. Stribllng and needed very little alter ations. Supervisor Poster of Oconoe county has giyaa valuable assistance to this project-and has done a great deal to make the highway possible. This is only a part of his work, how ever, for be his Improved all of the road of Oconeo county. Albert Browi was in chargo of thc construction of house Mountain to Russell's and Al bert Win'tm I re! built tho road from thc road from Stump there to the SU te line, a distance of a mlle. This Is a beautiful piece of work. There I amaina a stretch of about eight ml es to be completed to Highlands. This is all within the State of Georgia, for the road from Highlands to Mj^uQfiasgj^Ine on the other linea haa^ljAjMagdM^ploted by e Gratification Transylvania county, North C'nrolinu. I Thc Ihr?'? mates corner right hore, ami I hf road < nts efl a corner oil Kalnm county, Georgia, a rough and rugged (?ieee ol travel. This must be completed iii order to muk?; tho whole road a success. For il is an axiom that no road is any better than ita weakest link. Anderdon has been asked to pul np $500 as her share ot the fund necessary to eliminate this weak link and to make the whole road ?i speedway. The Anderson men pre sent at th<- meeting yesterday pledged thu money. Lust year it required half a day to make the trip from Walhalla to Rus sell':}, and a who)?! day lo Highlands. Now the trip to Kussel l's ran bu made in an hour and a half hy any kind of automobile, and as roon UH tin; weak link is strengthened, a person can leave Anderson in thu morning, go to Highlands for dinner and eat supper in Anderson. This ls a triumph in road building and is a groat tiling for Anderson, as there are hark in those mountains hundreds of farmers grow ing mick who will then be able to place it upon Anderson market, whereas it now is wasted. So much for the business of the transmontano trip. There were abou! 15 ears in tho cavalcade, and Hie outing for the Anderson and other visitors it was a rare treat, this spin to the top of one mountain and over to the top of another, and then into into one of tile most beautiful Spots in all creation. The valley of which Russell's is the head, ls incompara ble for !ovlinc88. Flanked on both sides, at possibly the distance of a inile hy the serried ranks of fir tipped mountains, soft in that hazy mystery which gives thc name ethereal "blue" lo this map liflclent range, the valicy follows the bold Chattooga for sev eral miles, nnd in its whole extent is one vast Held of rustling corn, such as any Anderson county farmer would be proud of. Russell's Is not a town, or yet a country store, 'out the home of a splen did mountaineer of the name, who ls more of a king today in this lofty principality of his than is any crown ed head of Europe. The hospitality of this home has been sought BO much that it has become necessary for Mr. Russell to enlarge his home to the proportions of an old fashioned En glish road house, which it resembles In Hie eharm of its whole surround ings and the neatness of its appoint-1 ments. The spring Just in thc rear of thc house issues a bold stream of water almost icy coal, so cold as to bo a phenomenon much remarked upon. And lt Is eomcwhat remarkable that although the party left Walhalla not earlier than 10 o'clock, and stopped a few minutes at Alhert Urown's and LINK SEVEN at thc summit of Tunnel Hill, yet there was time for the purty to take a plunge Into the inviting waters of the Chattooga, and many of them uvailed themselves of tho opportunity. And yet tho entire party returned to Walhalla in time for dinner, Which was served at 1:30. This dinner was given by thc busi ness men of Walhalla, complimentary to the visitors and dinner was dis patched and a number of long speech es made, and yet some of thc party left Walhalla on the 3:20 trula and missed a portion of one ?peech. To attempt to follow all that waa said would ba impossible, suffice it to say that the spirit of the occasion was one of extreme cordiality among all of tho communities represented, and thc Hine Ridge railway and its man agement was given a rousing send off for the splendid work it has inaugu rated in putting on a train service which will bring all of the towns in to closer communication. Mayor W. M. Hrown of Walhalla, a citizen who takes the lead in progres sive work, made a strong address of welcome in which he laid out a policy of friendship for all of the communi ties, und he called attention briefly to some ot tho things to bc accom plished by building thc highway through to Highlands and Casslmero's valley. W. C. Hughs also mndo a stirring address of welcome and tho editor of Tho Intelligencer was called upon to respond. Then the owns along the line were called upon. Dr.Jas. P. winard made a chaste and earnest talk about Anderson and Anderson College which was enthusiastically received. Capt. M. M. Hunter from Pendleton, P. H. Shirley from West minister, V. L. Norman from Seneca, were among the South Carolina rep resentatives. One of the most interesting talks was by Prof. Harbison of Highlands. After telling what had been done in road building In that section, and what remained to bo done, he opened the eyes of the assembled company by stating some facts and statistics of Highlands with reference to the climate and the -adaptability of the soil to producing everything concclva The Central Figures In Stamford (Conn.)

Gomploto this road and Anderson will be shipping market and distribution point for the greatest truck garden east of the "Valley of Gods" lu California. Col, R. T.

E. J. Watson, stato secretary of Bgricultu'] e. made addresses. Col. Watson announced that hu is now on a trip, making a map of.this highway to be sent all over the United States wherever tourist travel is solicited. Ho congratulated the people of Wal halla upon their wonderful achieve ment and stressed the remarks of Prof. Harbison as to the fertility of the great plateau of thu Highlands At the conclusion of thc hearty din ncr and (he speeches, the party dis persed to get better acquainted with Walhalla. Some took a spin to West minister, a distance of 12 miles, over a splendid road built by Walhalla at a cost of $4,000.

A Mexican anny entraining is pic turesque in much the same way that a gypsy camp is. It includes sol diers, women, children, pots and pans of primitive-domesticity, ' pet" dog's, cuts, lambs, goats and sven parrots. The regulations allow the soldiers to take their families to war. Officers told me that the rule was one women io every eigiit men, bul il' such regula tio sextets it ls. for publication only. As many women go as want to-and when aa army moves out from a large city the number of soldaderas is pret ty likely to bo moro than one-third that of the soldados. And many of them have one or several children. From the days of the Montezumas, Mexican women have borne their part In war, and Mexico cannot imagine an effective anny without its array ow women camp followers. They forage for the army's food and cook lt. They carry water to their men on the bat tlefield; they are thc only nurses that the wounded have; frequently. they march beside the weary soldiers car rying, not only the camp equipment but their guns as well. They are brave, patient, hard working and faith full Sometimes they aro tho legal wives of the men they accompany; more often their relations are for the campaign only. These soldaderas range in age from 12 or 15 years, to 60 or more-tho older women being, usually, thc mothers of conscripts, who elect to follow their sons to the front. !t may seen strange that women In such numbers undertake the dangers and hardships of a campaign, but Ufo is cheaply held amorig the lower class es in Mexico, and hardships and fa tigue are tho common lot in peace or war. Besides these women plunder the dead on the battlefield and pick up what they can on the march. A woman cooks for her own man as a matter of course. If she cooks for any others they pay her, and pay well. Asucccssful campaign will frequent ly furnish a little shop or to attract a desirable permanent- husband in civil lifo. -?-;-. Villa.

Mexico, under his domination could hardly fall Into worse hands. One of the first acts that brought him into notorley was the killing of a mat. who had been wronged an ruined by Villa and who sought his office hoping to find relief. Through all his car eer the bloodstains mark the Way., Why the administration should favor 'such a man as Villa we cannot see. Huerta would make a ruler for Mexico, much more humane and reasonable. ' It ls pleasant to see signs; of a coming breach between Villa and Carranza. It ls to be hoped that they will de stroy each other, though Carran-.r. is a far abler man than his chief. From The Literary Digest we have a horrible description ot Villa's method of war fare. Nothing that we have read In recent years Is so cruel and brutal. This ls the description given of the man which reveals his nature: "Cer tain Spaniards residing nt Torre?n were arrested and condemned ' to death.

The anti-suffragists, aroused at last by the triumphs, the prevalence' and Gie large hopes of their opponents, are getting ready for a well orgunlzrd and stoutly fought general campaign. It is time.. That is, it it is not tc o late. The noise, thc sensation, the i 'men turn, tho conviction to the w? i , the invitation to sly or cowardly politi cians, thc habit of victory these the ballot petticoats have with them. For the most part men seem to be insolently or amusedly or ignorantly indifferent. They haven't got beyond the position of regarding the whole movement as a scene adapted from "The Princess." aa addition to "The Ladles in' Parliament." something that romehow ls "so like a woman!" a fem inine diversion ' intnrosling women. What of change of good or evil or both htm or is to come to the state and the nation by it they are-without the in tellectual curiosity, let alone tho pat riotic anxiety to'ponder.

The only effective way to stop the sale of liquor is to put thc violators af the law oa the chain gang. This is the only way to clean out our city of thc dark, suspicious places. What good ? doeB it do to fine thc blind tiger's $50 or $100? They can make up thal amount in a few days by returning to their same old business. In this so-called, dry city there is enough booze sold', and money made from same, to clotho and feed all those unfortunate women and chil dren who have to - suffer on account of those men who have no sense of responsibility, not manhood enough to think and take care a little better.. of their wives and innocent little children who are in want' of dally, necessities. Let us all sympathize with thoBO unfortunate women and children who are wailing in vain for their father to come home sober, the father who should spend his earnings with his. beloved ones instead of feeding men that are a curse to any community. Let us sympathize with those men that have formed a partnership with John Barleycorn, a partnership thht will eventually lead them to the road of destruction. But let us condemn the ' men that make a living from' blood money, money that should go to the groceryman, butcher and mille man.
