Pltchford's store show somo marked changes. Tho count lust Wednesday brought In many votes that had been held over for the final counting of the month, and as a con sequence thero are now numbers In the lead. Last week No. 5 led tho Hst with 45,GOO, but this week drops back to second pince with a vote of 51,205, No. 14 having rushed In with enough votes to bring her out of second place to first, with 55,990 votes to1 her credit. But theso are not the only sur prises that wero spiting during tho week. No. 134, for Instance, Jumped from the starting point up to 15,410. A few more showings like that and she will be up among tho leaders. It | takes work to push up fast, but there are those who are evidently holding their voto-getting energy for the final weeks of tho contest. This is justa question of polio, however, and ls by no means a sure winner. Pile up your votes, keoplng at it all the time, and try to have so many to your credit that the ones who hold off for | the last cannot overcome your lead. There aro now two who have pass ed the 50,000 mark"; two also have passed the 30,000 mark, while eight find themselves pushing on above 20,000. Thore are now three left in the 15,000 column, while ten aro passing up from 10,000 to the higher positions. Thero are still ten others who have passed the 5,000 mark, but have not yet reached the! 10,000 position. Tho total cast-up of votes to the present time shows that there have been cast in all 675,923. The vot ing will run into the millions beforo it is over. There ls a wide range for good work and a splendid opportu nity to show your grit and determi nation to win in this contest of pil ing up votes. And it will be worth your while. The Upton Piano, which ls now on display at the store of C. W. Pitch ford, Walhalla, would be an orna ment to the finest parlor in South Carolina. Contest ant No. No. Votes.

TO COMPLETE THE ?LUE RIDGE. strong Movement Started to Extend Road Over tho Mountains. (Anderson Mail, 5th.) Tho Blue Ridge road complete over tho mountains by 1915! This was the slogan of the open meetlug of the Chamber of Com morco, held at the Court Houso last night, and to which all of tho busi ness men' of the city' and along the lino from Belton to Walhalla had beon Invited. The attendance was somewhat In terfered with by the bad weather, but the enthusiasm was not in tho least affected. A committee was named to take the matter in hand, and some, If not all, of the members of this committee will go to Wash ington next week to call on officials of the Southern railway and ascer tain what ls wanted of the Anderson and Oconee people to get the road through, It was suggested that a company be formed along tho route, and say? $500,000 subscribed, or the South ern railroad advised that tho people hero will take that amount of first mortgage bonds. This plan met with approval, though there was no formal action taken. The next stops will depend on the outcome of the conference of members of the rail road committee with Southern rail way officials. There is a strong determination all along the route to get the road through, and every means will be used to this end. Tho meeting was presided over by George M. Tolly, president of tho Chamber of Commerce, and Invoca tion was by Rev. Dr. W. H, Frazer. The speakers of the evening were W. T. Chambllss, of Charlotte, N. C., and Gen. M. L. Bonham. They were Introduced by Mayor J. L. Sherard. Mr. Chambllss said that he ls a native of South Carolina, but has spout practically all of his lifo In the Middle West-In Missouri. Now he 1B a resident of North Carolina Charlotte. There was a time, he said, when the two States of North and South Carolina were Carolina, and the time haB now come when these two should work together for a greater South. On coming Into the Southeast, Mr. Chambllss said that ho was greatly ? irprised and Impressed. His pre vious Impressions of the South were of sand, negroes and aristocracy. "I knew you raised cotton," he said, "but I thought you bought your corn." He paid a compliment to Jer ry Moore, the Winona boy who rais ed more than 228 bushels of corn to the acre, and said that the advertis ing the State has gotten through what tl?ls boy did ls of more value than the advertising that has come as the result of the money expended by all of tho boards of trade and chambers of commerce In the State. "There are two ways to build up i community," he said. "By tho Hinging of people and the bringing >f means. 1 believe men are the ?reatest need of the Southeast; good men, active men. I would Uko to joe men from the Middle West come here and cut up the rich soil of four State-my State-into small anns." Before coming into the Southeast, Mr. Chambllss said that ie had never seen a farmer mort gage his crops for supplies. The eggs md poultry support the family of ,he Middle Western farmer, and the .est is clear. Seventy Miles of Ties and Rails. "Seventy miles of rails and ties viii open up to Anderson the grent Northwest," Mr. Chambllss con Inued. "Then you will have a rall ?oad. You have none now. I knew 'ou had a baso ball team; I knew rou had cotton mills; I knew you tad a good town," he said, "but I lever boforo' saw a town like Ander en built up without a main line of allroad." Concerted Action. To illustrate what can bo done by oncerted effort and determination, Ir. Chambllss cited the building of he Southbound railroad, opening up i new line to Charleston. lt was milt by two great railroads, he aid, but tho energy and push of tho icoplo of Winston, N. C., and espe lally of ono man, Col. Frank Fries, nade lt possible. That ls what ls ceded hero, ho said. Tho people were urged lo start the rork. "You can do lt, and when the rork ls begun, the assistance will onie." Tlie map shows but three mall gaps of the route over the Hue Ridge mountains to bo com letod. "It ls not much of a propo IIlon," he urged; "you can do lt uslly." (Jim. Bonham's Address. (ion. M. L. Bonham, who has al ays been deeply Interested lu tho >mpletion of tho Blue Ridge, was io next speaker. He was lntroduc 1 by Mayor Sherard. There was a great difference of pinion, Gen. Bonham said, In the tiliilon of two great engineers, as ) tho best rou to to connect Charles >n with the West. Robt. Y. Hayno ivored a road to Hamburg, to Braiiohvlllo, to Spartanburg, and then along the French Broad Valley to Knoxville. Mr. Calhoun was opposed to tho French Broad route, favoring that over tho Blue Ridge mountains as the natural one. Neither lived to see the realiza tion. Tho French Broad route was later adopted, and the road built, but lt has always been a disappoint ment. Mr. Calhoun, If he were here now lu the flesh, would see and acknowledge this. There ls little to be done to com plete tho Blue Ridge. There are three small gaps, ono of 29, ano ther 30 and one but a few miles. Il ls a proposition that will put Ander son In Immediate touch with th? magnificent resources of the West It means more to Anderson than t< anybody else. We are away off tin lino. On tho main lino, as ls Green ville, Spartanburg and Gleenwood Anderson would surpass them all li wealth and prosperity. Build the Blue Ridge from Knox ville, and you have Anderson on through line, over which immens products must pass. Anderson woul bo^ a second Atlanta. Immens wholesale houses would grow u here, and Anderson would be the dh tributing point for South Carolin and parts of North Carolina an Georgia. . The concrete question is: "Whi are we going to do about lt?" If w deliberately determine to build til railroad, I think we could go to tli Southern railroad with a proposltlo that would elicit their Interest. Anderson county now raises mot cotton than any other county east < the Mississippi rUver. The counl has In round numbers 7?T>,000 pei pie; the population of the city 18,000. What may these resourc and people not accomplish? Some action should be taken no' Gen. Bonham urged, looking to tl making of a proposition to the Sout ern railway. I would suggest that committee be named to confer wi the ofllclals, find out just what wanted, and then for the people do lt. Walhalla Much Interested. R. T. jaynes, of Walhalla, was t next, speaker. "You cannot build railroads wi windmills," he said, "but soinetlm windmills turn wheels, and thc are wheels within wheels." "All we have to do to carry tl through," he said, "ls to strike nc Wo should have lt completed, at way, by the time the Panania Cat ls opened. When the sentiment the people of Anderson and Ocoi unite the road will be built. I wt a party made up right now to st from Anderson and go strait through to San Francisco, thron the famous Rabun Gap, to attend I Panama Exposition in 1915. At Walhalla, Mr. Jaynes said, i lentiment is strong for the corni tlon of the railroad. The peo sf Oc?nee will heartily co-opea svlth Anderson lu whatever s nay be taken to convert that ro )f 70 milos, and make an Eldon )f what ls at present the habitat he wildcat. Mr. Jaynes said that he had ieflnite plan to suggest, but t ie had thoiif. \t that a comp; night be formed along the rot md steps taken looking to the r ng of, say, $500,000, to begin ?vork. "If the people along oute would show to the South heir willingness to take this arno ii first mortgage bonds of the rc hen something would result. ' teoplo of Oconee, I believe, will t heir part." S. L. Eskew, of Pendleton, i hat now ls the opportune time. >eople of Pendleton are as de? nterested as anybody anywl long the line, and can be coin n for support in whatever plan i io adopted. L. E. Norryce, secretary of Miamber of Commerce, said thal ? In a position to hear the full iment of the people, and that tl * a strong desire here that so bing be dene to put the i brough. He said there wore s al business men present who lld him that they would give $1 [> soe the Blue Ridge road ( leted through tho mountains. Letter from Col. Andrews. Mr. Norryce said that he had alved a letter from Col. Andr f the Southern railway, In w o said that he would bo in cor itlon with ofllclals of tho road Washington tho week of April nd expressing Hie hopo that s( ling can now bo dono lookini to completion of tho road.

In order that arrangements may be made for some, if not all, of tho members of the committee to call on Col. Andrews and other officials of the Southern during their stay at Washington, Gen. Bonham called a meeting of the committee, to be held at his office here Saturday morn ing at 10 o'clock. All of the mem bers are asked to be present. In naming the committee, Mr. Tolly laughingly remarked that he wanted the members to "Go aftor th? Southern. If you can't got any thing, then I want the committee to buy the Blue Ridge road, and build the line anyway. You are easily able."
