NEW DEPOT FOR WALHALLA.
Capt. J. R. Anderson Assures Us of It
Next Spring, i
Capt.' J. R. Anderson, bf the Blue
Ridge Railway, was in Walhalla on
business for a short while last week.
He was here looking after a right of
, way, in a suitable location, for the
building of a "Y," the old turntable
In South Broad street having served
Its day and bocome useless on ac
count of being too small to turn the
large engines now used by the Blue
Ridge.
"Captain," we said on meeting
Mr. Anderson, "Walhalla wants a
new depot." The reply was prompt:
"Yes, I know lt 1B badly needed, and
we are going to build it the first
thing next spring. In fact, it would
have been built before this, but the
Blue Ridge had to purchase a lot of
new rolling stock, larger engines,
etc., and was compelled to do con
siderable building, and several im
provements-among them the new
depot for Walhalla-had to be held
. up temporarily. It has been on our
Hst of needed improvements for a
good while and will be one of the
first things for next spring."
This will be appreciated news to
the citizens of Walhalla, and lt ls to
be hoped that Superintendent Ander
son's plans will be carried out at a
very early date. As a matter of
fact, lt cannot be delayed long, or
the traveling public and freight ship
ments Will find themselves out in the
weather at this point. What Wal
halla should do now 1B to take the
matter up with the railroad and see
that the town gets adequate and sub
stantial freight and passenger depots
when the building is commenced.

Steward of Poor House.
, , At the regular meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners last
Friday ;W. R. Cobb wab re-elected as
steward for the county farm and
poor house. Mr. Cobb has held this
position for about t>lx yenrs, and has
made a most acceptable und efficient
officer. For several years the county
farm was a source of expense to the
county, but for quite a while it has
been increasing in point of revenue,
thus decreasing the expense, until
now it is a practically self-sustain
ing institution.
The following estimate of products
and their value was furnished to tho
Supervisor and Commissioners last
Friday:
Returns from Oconce County Poor
Farm for Year 1907.
Hay, 30 tons at 75c. ton..$ 450 00
Corn, 1?00 bushels at 75c. . 750 00

Peas, 16 bushels, at $1 per
bushel . 15 00
Onions 85 bushels, nt $1
per bushel. 2.~> 00
Total.$2090 00

ing the past year, The expense of the
farm will not be known exactly until
the close of the year.

Married in Atlanta.
The following from the Clayton
(Ga.) Tribuno will be of interest to
many In this section:
Marled, at the First Presbyterian
church, in Atlanta, on Friday, Octo
ber 25th, G. F. Leslie, of Abbeville,
S. C., and Miss Blanche Wall, of
Clayton. The bride ls well known
here, having been reared in Clayton.

years a manufacturer at Franklin,

young man. They are at present at
Chattanooga, but will return here In
j a few days, where they will be at
i home to their friends.

halla, where she had visited fre
quently at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. E. A. Bell. Her hosts of friends
here and elsewhere will join in wish
ing the young couple every happi
ness.
Will Probably Die from Burna.
Caroline Gaines, a young colored
woman of Walhalla, was so seriously
burned last -.Saturady night, just
about dusk, that she will probably
die from the effects. One of her chil
dren was lighting a lamp, which
blazed up, frightening the child, and
the mother ron to it, throwing her
apron over the blase. Instead of
smothering the flames, as she had ex
pected to do, her apron caught Are
and enveloped her in a blase. Run
ning frantically from the house and
calling for help, the woman created
consternation in North Broad street.
The. flying figure was a mass of blaze
from her waist up, her head ?and
body being almost completely erivel
; oped as she ran and screamed i for
help. She was Anally caught' 'and
i thrown down, and by polling her over
and over on the ground the flajmes
were extinguished, but not until she
had been so badly burned that her
recovery ls very doubtful. She is in
a critical condition at the home of
her husband, Bud Gaines, on North
Broad street, and little hopes are
held out for hei recovery, though
she has rested comparatively easy for
one in her condition.

A HALLOWE'EN PARTY.
Miss Sophie Hot.?? Entertained Large
Number of Her Friends.
Misa Sophie Rose, .
At Home,
Thursday, October 31, 1907,
In Mask,
From 8 to 12,
"G. G. C."
The members of the G. G. C. and
a host of their friends were delight
ed on receiving the above Invitation.
RemembeiiuK the warm hospitality
of Miss Rose on other deligntful oc
casions, many were charmed to ac
cept the kind invitation: Through
.the hearty cordiality of the gracious
hostess, the spacious halls of the
Blue Ridge Minera' Springs Hotel
wer? given up to the enjoyment of
lier guest s. Nothing at this time of
the year, when ghosts and hobgob
lins "are wont to steal their way into
the midst of the gayest revels,"' c>>uld
be more appropriate than a Hal
lowe'en Party, and such it was to
which Miss Rose invited her friends
On entering the main hallway, the
guests'passed into the front parlor,
widere they were graciously received
by tho hostess, assisted by her mo
ther, and also by Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Busch and Miss Baurngartel. The
reception hall and., parlor?? were made
to look a veritable ghostlanl by be
ing decorated in the emblematic jack
o'-lanterns and other suggestions of
-Hallowe'en. None Could fall to ap
preciate the rare event of being in
the domain of ghosts, when they
glanced around and saw the weird
forms of "phantoms moving majesti
cally," and in this throng many "met
their fate." the mystery of which to
be solved in after years.
Upon the arrival of all the guests,
every one assembled in the parlor,
where a merry and spirited contest,
ensued, the object of which we?> to
ascertain which could eat the most
pumpkin pie in the shortest time, re
gardless of the fact that they might
spoil their "countenances." Pump
kin pie being such a favorite concoc
tion for Hallowe'en, each one outdid
the other.
The evening would not have been
complete without ghost tates, so next
each one in his own unearthly way
related a most thrilling adventure of
his own or of his ancestors. l? spite
of the fact that man} had "met their
fate," each felt that he would like to
know more of the future, and was
charmed to welcome Miss Ella Reid,
exceedingly well disguised as an old
Gypsy fortune teller. By reading the
palms of each one, she enabled them
,Jt6 look far into the future. After
the .-fortunes were told the masks
were removed, and every one felt
that he had emerged from the land
of the supernatural, and In the lately
phantom-like forms he recognised
his friends from the earth.
Upon the return of hor guests to
this world, the hostess realized the
never-dying appetite of mortals, and
asked the gentlemen to escort the
ladies to the alaing room, nero a
beautiful and magical sight mot the
eyes of all, for the decorations were
even prettier and more appropriate
than those of the other rooms. In
the center of the large dining hall,
dimly lighted by jack-o'lanterns, a
long table was arranged, spread with
Snow-white linen, strewn with golden
autumn leaves, Interspersed with
vases of autumn flowers. In other
Karts of the room wore small tables
olding beautiful ferns and other pot
plants. From the ceiling were fes
tooned garlands of the club colors
black and gold. Dainty favors, a
pen and Ink sketch of a smiling jack
o'-lantern, tied with black and gold,
were presented to each one on enter
ing the dining room. The color
scheme, black and gold, was taste
fully carried out in the refreshments,
which consisted of hot chocolate and
black and gold layer cake, and
sponge cake, iced in black and gold.
' \ Refreshments having been served,
all entered tho rear parlor, where the
prize was awarded for the best ghost
story, lt being a handsome vase, won
by Miss Bertha Schumacher. The
consolation, a young pumpkin, was
presented to J. C. Rampley, for giv
ing us the ghost story that was "not
quite ripe, and 'pulled, too soon."
While arrangements were being
made for dancing, the next pleasure
of the evening, a game of "Blind
Man's Buff" was heartily enjoyed in
the rear hall.
All now eagerly sought the dance
hall. The music was furnished by
Miss Sophie Rose at the piano and
two violinists.
The following couples being placed,
the old, familiar square dance was
gracefully led by J. C. Rampley and
Miss Sophie Rose; Miss Ella: Reid
with Hugh P. Holleman; MlssvFan
nie Mae Mickler with Rleppe me
mana; Miss Dora Pitchford with Sam
Verner; Miss Mary Lay with Mack
Neville; Miss Bertha Schumacher
with Charlie Rose. After this a few
couples enjoyed a waltz or two.
Besides the dancers, other couples
In thc hall were: Miss Tommie Pitch
ford with Claude Reid; Miss M-.try
Pitchford with Teay Hutchison; Miss
Salina Yongue with Charlie Rose;
Miss Lula Earle with Marvin Phin
ney.
The dance being ended, the "wee
ama' hours" of the night were ap
proaching, and the happy guests bade
their lovely hostess "good night."
each assuring her that the evening
spent was the most pleasant of the
season.

CLING BROWNING CAUGHT.
Man Wanted in Ocouee Now tn Jail
at DucktOWIl, Trum? s sec.
Cling Browning, against whom
there stands a true bill in the Court
of ?General Sessions for Oconee coun
ty, ls at 1 ist positively located in Jail
at Duoktown, Tenn., where he is
awaiting trial for wife-beating in
that State since he left horn last
spring after shooting Policeman Ja?.
Rutledge, who attempted to arrest
iiim iu i 'nc dark. mr. Rutledge
placed his hand on Browning's shoul
der in the act of making the arrept,
when the latter pulled a pistol from
his pocket and shot the officer. Af
ter careful treatment Mr. Rutledge
recovered and la .Again on duty on
the Walhalla police force. Browning
was heard of' at ?everal points In
North Carolina and Oeorgia, but was
never positively located until the offi
cers at Duoktown, Polk county, Ten
nessee, placed him In Jail on the
charge of wlfe-beatlng, he having
struck his wife on the head with a
bottle with painful results. It is also
understood that there are charges
against him In North Carolina, In
which State he stopped long enough
to get Into trouble. He ls a danger
ous character, and as soon as the
Tennessee authorities are through
with him he will be brought here to
answer the charge of shooting Po
liceman Rutledge. Hts trial In Ten
nessee will take place at Duckt own
on the third Monday in this month.
Browning ls one of the most dan
gerous characters that ever located
In Walhalla, and lt is quite probable
that when he has finished serving
time tn Tennescee and thlB State he
will be somewhat older than he is
now.
