Is it practicable.to build it? 1 suppose thero is scarcely a person in Anderson who would not answer "Yes" to the lirst question. To tho second ouest ion, nearly every body wants it, provided, alwaj/a (hy a largo majority) it can ho hail for nothing. Wo need it, and we want it, hut tho desiro for tho road will not overcome tho innate Bolilshnoss of some to lol the ot bor ; fellow do all tho work and pay all the I hills. They expect this to he done for j thom, and then they hope to reap thc i rewards of the time, money and labors of I others. To get something for nothing j is somewhat characteristic of tho ago or I of most people. Now, let our pooplo [disabuso their minds, get out of their i Selfishness, and como together while it is I possible to get this road by raising a small promoting fund to do the prclimi I nary work. The r.orn has not yet boen l shel I od, and tho sooner wo get it into our heads wo that have to do our own ithcltiny tho sooner will wo got the road. Now is it practicable to build this , road? I answer "yes" emphatically. I ' do not care a copper what this mau or 'that man says, whether lie ii; i> railroad j man, merchant, banker, farmer, lawyer or II fool. It is practicable to build this : road. Tho railroad man who says it is I not, di es so for a sol fish purpose in the j interest of tho road now paying him. j The moneyed man who says it is imprnc ; tical does so because ho does not Want ! to risk a few dollars without having it j first secured by gilt edge paper, or pos ! sibly has large investments in a com po t I ing line. 1 say it is practicable: j 1. Because theio is plenty of idle money j to build this road four times over. 2. Because Port Boyal, tho Atlantic terminus, is tho finest harbor on tho Atlantic coast. Tho war now on demon ; strates the meat necessity for using that j port as a coaling station, and yet tho finest port in America is bottled up. 8. Since the United States has entered upon a new era, ono of aggrandizement, whereby it is not only possible but prob j able that Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and j tho Philippine Islands will be added to j our territory, whereby our j' it will bo j greatly increased, will domio.d greater ! supplies of cord. The great coal Heids I of America lie immediately on the line j of tho Black Diamond. Then, with the coal fields at one end of tho line and lite I (leets at Port Boyal at tho other end, I anyone can see this project is practicable. ? Again, when the Government has ao ; quired these islands it will bo forced to ! build tho Nicarangua canal. It has al \ ready been demonstrated and shown by , tho recent trip of tho Oregon from San Francisco around Gano Horn, over 18,OOO j miles, that, tho canal is a great national I as well ns commercial necessity, and that being demonstrated by a practical lesson, the means of an end will be forth coming. And when the canal has boon built, as it will bo in the near future, tho importance of a coaling station on (loop water at Port Boyal will bo still greator. 4. Let mo cite one ease in tho history of railroad building in this country. From Decatur, Alabama, to Montgomery it is 18:! miles. In 1872, there was not a community of a dozen families from Daeatnr to ?Montgomery. The Louisville and Nasheville Railroad Company dotor j mined to build that line. Wo all know i that in 1872 material was worth nearly j doublo what it is now, money was scarcer . and gold was at a premium. To quote ; tho testimony of Mr. Smith, tho prcsi j dent of the road, "It practical ly ran ; through a wilderness. It was, ho wovor, I expected to develop an important min eral region.'* Now, consider tho conditions: Tho Black Diamond Railroad penetrates.tho finest mineral regions in Tennessee, Ken tucky, Ohio and Indiana, passing nearly centrally through the great Jolfico coal I Mehla. It starts at Columbus, Ohio, a city of 180,000 Inhabitants; Indianapolis, Ind., 185,000; Knoxville, Tonn., 50,000, and jiasscs a dozen or moro points having communities of not merely a dozen peo ple, hut from I,(KIO to 10,000 pooplo. It \ is not n wilderness from Knoxville to Wallinlla, but a ricli agricultural section ii]? ( lie LiltloTennessee Valley and across the Lino Ridge mountains, abounding with lino fanes, with undeveloped min eral resources and grand primeval forests of valuable timber, lt is no wilderness from 'Valhalla to Port Royal, hut one of the fairest climes in all the Southland, with well-tilled farms, beautiful towns and hamlets, manufacturing industries. Twice tho money in circulation as was in IS72; material at least 10 per cent cheaper t han it was then. Therefore I insist it will not benn experiment of doubtful propriety to make a survey of this road from Wallinlla to Port Royal-that pros pecta and possibilities for an early com pletion of* this road would well warrant our people in making thia investment. No pains, no gains. -Ile who never invests never loses, but ho who never iiivi-nts never makes. Doubtless slug gards and fools never develop a country, and indolence and indifforoiioo will never bring a railroad to your doors. J. L.

If so, we are sure it quieted your cough, healed the rawness in your throat, increased your weight, gave you more color, and made you feel better in every way. But perhaps your cough has come back again, or you are get ting a little thin and pale. Then, why not continue the same helpful icmedy right through the summer? It will do you as much good as when the weather is cold. Its persistent use will certainly give you a better appetite and n stronger digestion. It will cure your weak throat and heal ?our inflamed lungs, t will cure every case of consumption, when a cure is possible. Don't be persuaded to take something they say is just os good.
