Tho mention in Tho Daily Mail sovoral days ago of tho rumor that tho Blue Ridge Railroad was negotiating for tho lease of tho Southern's lino from Andor soii to Bolton caused considerable com ment in luca! business circles. Tho railroad pcoplo will not discuss tho matter, but thoro is no doubt that a deal of that kind is on foot, and that its consomm?t ion depends largely u pon tho view that Anderson pcoplo take of it. If Andornen people look with favor upon tho deal, so tho story goos, tho deal will bo clotted at au early day, but if serious objections are fourtbooming it will doubt less bo declared off, as tho Rino Ri dice officials are particularly anxious to koop on tho good side, HO to speak, of Ander son, as most of tho patronage of the road conics from this point. Naturally tho llrst question that arises ls, bow will tho proposed change affect Anderson's freight rate? and train HCI ytop? The Daily Mail han learned from ono of the largest shippers in tho city that ho has had assurances that thc change will not olTcot freight ratos, and that it will result in a hotter passongor service, lu fact it is the intention of tho blue Ridgo people to put on a through coach from Anderson to Charles ton at au early day in connection with the Southern, and ultimately to put on through trains from Walhalla to Charles ton. In this connection it is stated that the Blue Ridge road has given tho contract for and will soon own a good deal of rolling slock. Sovoral engines and tho necessary number of passenger coach? s aro to be purchased, and also, it is understood, a number of freight cars. The now rolling slock will havo tho let tering of tho Blue Ridge railroad. So far as the lease of tho Southon! lino from Belton by the Blue Ringo is con cerned, tho business men of tho city, er most of thom, seem to be in favor of it. Tiley take tho position, and thoro scorns to be common senscuin it, that tho Blue Ridge would of necessity bo friendly to Anderson's interest, whilo with the Southern this might not always bo tho case. Anyway they argue it would bring matters nearer homo, and the pcoplo hero would know to whom to deal with when they wanted to ask favors or niako de ni ands. Thoro is a rumor, and many business men in the city bcliovo thoro is truth in it. that tho people now owning tho Bluo Ridge really intend to extend tho road over the mountains to Knoxville. A great many reasons aro urged why this should and will be done, but after all tho wisli may be father to tho thought, as tho railroad oflicials themselves havo never sought tho newspapers and con firmed the ruinor.-Anderson Daily Mail, November lt). -^4 O BM - Arbor Day at White Rock.

On bohalf of tho citizens, of Oreonvillo au invitation is extended to tho pooplo of South Carolina to visit om city dm lng tho woek beginning Monday, Docernhor 10th, when the "Good hoads Special" of the Southern Railway will be hore for tho purpose of building sample roads and holding mootings with tho viow of touching tho pooplo in practical road building. This is tho only p<>int in tho Piedmont section whoro tho train will stop to do any work, and evoryouo who can do so ought to tako tho opportunity of learning for himself what can bo dono in the making of roads with necessary machinery handled by mon who mo exports in tho business, So much has boon said aud writton in regard to this subject of good roads that tho pooplo of the South aro practically in thorough accord with tho idoa that good roads aro an acquisition and bouoflt to any community. Evory ono is con vinced that tho lack of good roads is ono of tho greatest drawbacks to tho growth and prosperity of the South, aud to sup ply this lack is ono of tho most sorious problems boforo us to-day. A not-work of main roads built undor solon tifio direc tion with durable and permanent material will alono moot tho urgent demand of our rural districts ana market towns. Tho lilies of com petition aro being drawn moro olosoly ovory yoar aud tho margin of profits are growing moro slender in consequence, SO that it is imperative to employ ovory clement looking to low priced production and ohoap distribution of tho crops that aro grown on tho farms, and which aro to bo consumed by tho non-producors. Tho entire population of any section is intetfestod in whatever may contribute to This result, and it is clearly demonstrated that good roads aro a primo factor in tho development of the country, while providing tho great est economy iu bringing tho producer and consumer together so that both classes will profit hy oasy and cheap transportation over our public roads. How can we soouro better roads in tho South? This is the question to ho dis cussed by practical mon in tho Good Roads convention which wilt bo hold in this city while tho road-making is hoing demonstrated Oil tho roads and streets. Organized and practical linos must bo laid down to secure tho results aimed at, and it is necessary that ovory citizen shall givo his moral and financial sup port to measures which aro intended for tho benefit of all. Good roads mean a direct benefit, to ovory farmer, ns there is no plan that will do moro to enhance tho value of lauds and dovolop rural communities than permanent aud well constructed highways. Nothing oat bo found to contributo moro to tho con tentment and happiness of a farming population, and whatever conduces to this state of affairs on tho farm confers lasting benefits upon towns and cities, for tho prosperity and advancement of tho farmers aro quickly rellcotod in tho growth and wcalth-produoing character of their neighbors. W hile there is great unanimity upon tho advantages ?if good roads, thoro is in reality vory little practical kuowlodgo as to tho means and appliances for secur ing this desirable result, and hence tho proposed convention ought to attract mon from ovory walk of lifo, especially those who aro engaged in making and executing tho laws of tho State. Tho burdon of constructing and maintaining good roads must not fall upon any par ticular class, and while tho work of road building is a practical necessity, thoro is also an imperative requirement, in pro viding tho ways and moans for construct ing roads upon an cquitablo and just basis. This can bo ascertained by dis cussion and demonstration, and boneo tho propriety of organizing Good Roads associations white giving instruction in practical road-building. Roth of these objects will bo attained in tho coming of tho "Good Roads Special" next month to Greenville, and such an opportunity is raroly given any people at so moderato a cost. Tho citizens of Greenville aro making full preparation for tho accomodation of tho hundreds mid thousands who aro oxpectod from every quarter of tho State, and in addition to tho hotels and board ing houses, thc private, families aro asked to tako boarders for the week in order to pr?vido for any extra domand on this occasion.

No ona was more surprised tban Jon ried himself, who assortoo that, while bo had delivered ono tolling blow in tho socoud round, be did not oxpoot to win tho victory so easily. Kuhfiu's Bole explanation of tho outcome of the fight is that ho rocoivod a obanco blow, which utterly disabled bim, nnd that Joftri?8 persisted lu fighting bim low. While Kuhlin will make no absolute ohargo of Joffrics having committed u foul, bo intimates that ho was unfairly handled and injured as a result, Kuhlin re?oives tho support of his seconds in this stand, who Bay that bis was a hope less caso after tho second round. Almost from tho beginning of tho fight Kuhlin appeared frightened. Tho fight was practically fluishod in tho second round, w hen Jeffries landed loft hook on the jaw that took all tho fight out of Kuhlin.
