SOUTHERN ON TO KNOXVILLE ? Interesting Rumora Regarding Com pletion of Road from Walhalla. (Anderson Mail.) Sometimes new rumors arise indi cating renewed interest in the ex tension of the Blue Ridge railway through the mountains frorii Walhal la to Clayton, Qa., and thence to Knoxville, Tenn. It is known that a syndicate of Anderson business men recently offeVed to float $1,000,-, OOO of bonds if the Southern Rail way would put the road through, but j the offer was declined. But 65 miles remain to be com pleted, and this would give the Southern a trunk line from Chicago to Charleston that would be its most popular line across the mountains because of the easy grades. From Walhalla to Clayton, Ga., would con nect with a line already in operation to Franklin, N. C., and thence there is a gap to Fontana or to Bushnell, N. C., either of which places could b9 reached by a. roM following the windings of the Little Ter jessee river until lt ls intersected by the line from Maryville, Tenn., to Knox ville. Along th i s line the following from the Manufacturer's Record of last week is of considerable interest just at present: "W. B. Crenshaw, principal assist ant engineer of tho Southern Rail way at Knoxville, Tenn., is quoted there as having confirmed a report that an agreement has been reached between that company and tho Alum inum Company of America vader which they will share the expense of relocating and building the South ern's proposed line along the Little Tennessee river from North Carolina into Tennessee. It is estimated that the cost of construction for thirty miles uncompleted between Fontana, N. C., and Chllhowee, Tenn., will be $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, and the railroad will have to ho built about 250 feet 'higher up the side of the mountain than the original location. "The Southern Railway's proposed . line is from Bushnell, N. C., to Mary ville, Tenn. It has been under con struction for several years, and the Knoxville report says that from Maryville track has been built east ward as far as Chilhowee and also from Bushnell west as far as Fon I tana, leaving a gap or thirty mites on ".h'ch about ?deven miles o'f grad'^g has been done. The reason for the change ol; location is that the alumi num company pw?i OM H io huiid th POS dams on the futile. Tennessee river, ivhich wm raise the water level to a point, above the original location of the railroad's line. It is stated that the agreement to change the location was attained last week at a meeting of representatives of the two com panies. The date for beginning con struction is not announced."

I how mucl tank. STANDARD Wuttagtoa, D. C. (1 Not!oik, Va. BI Richmond, Va. tain, five miles west of Walhalla. This tunnel ls nearly 1,250 , feet in length and a wonderful piece of ma soury, considering that it was built sixty-five years ago, before there were any known explosives other than black powder, tamped in with hand drills. There romain 250 feet of the tunnel to be completed. ThiB can be done at relatively small cost these days. The rights of way along there have elapsed and have passed into the hands of John D. Verner, of Walhalla. The ucHy Mall learns directly from Mr. Verner that he will give all necessary rights of way, including tho tunnel, ii the company will merely agree to finish the road and put in certain terminals and shops at Walhalla. There is not much hope in Ander son that the road will be finished, but the publication of the article in t'he Manufacturer's Record has ex cited interest, to say the least. When ; Col. Andrews and H. B. Spencer ? were here some eighteen months ago I they declared that the road could not be built because some power com pany had usurped its rights down the Little Tennessee River Valley. But it appears that Mr. Crenshaw has found a way out of that difficulty hy locating the survey higher above the back water from the pondage. If that gap should ever be built, Anderson would need but thirty miles of rail to tie ut) with Knox ville. But the article in thc Manu facturer's Record concludes: "The date for beginning construction is not announced." S. C. Boy's Brave Act, Charlestown, Mass., July IC. First Class Electrician James Leary, of Charleston, S. C., on the battleship Nebraska, at present at the Charles town Navy Yard, was frightfully burned to-day while attempting to save the life of Seaman Henry Azena, of the same ship. Azena was scalded to e'eath. A valve flew out in the dynamo room, enveloping Azena in steam. Leary rushed to his aid and pulled him out into the open, but be fore he had done so was terribly scalded himself. The accident was caused by exces sive pressure in the pipes, and a court of the ship's officers will sit to probe the mattor and find out who is to blame for the mishap.

Mrs. Elisabeth Frances Hughs, daughter of James Hogan aud Eliza beth Knox Dendy, died at her home at Richland, on Thursday, July 3, 1913. The funeral service was held July 4th at ll o'clock at Richland Presby-/ terian church, Rev. I. E. Wallace, her pastor, conducting the service, after 'which her body was laid to rest by the grave of her son in Rich land cemetery. Mrs. Hughs had been expecting her death for some time and spoke of it with unusual calmness, even selecting her pallbearers, and re quested tho undersigned to give a brief sketch of her life. She was born at Richland March 21, 1828, and was the eldest of the following children: Mrs. Susan M. Doyle, Mrs. E. R. Strlbling, Marshall B., Taos. H., William H., Stiles P., and Samuel K. Dendy. Mrs. E. R. Strlbling and S. K. Dendy only sur vive. . Like Samuel of old, Mrs. Hughs was dedicated to the Lord in infancy and was brought up by pious parents in the faith of -.he Presbyterian church, to which she was united when young. About 184 8 or '49 she was happily married to Henry R. Hughs. To this union were born the following children: Mrs. J. R. Burnt, of Anderson; James E. Hughs, de ceased; M. T. Hughs, of Walhalla; Mrs. J. J. Ballenger and W. H. Hughs, of Richland; T. H. Hughs, of Bartow, Fla.; Mrs. H. L. Coe and Stiles N. Hughs, of Richland. She had many grandchildren, and even saw the coming in of the fifth gener ation. % Her husband, Henry R. Hughs, was one of the South Carolina volun teers to the Confederate war, in which he was killed June 27, 18G2. Upon Mrs. Hughs then rested all the care arid responsibility of rearing and supporting her children, in this she encountered all the obstacles of that period of Southern history ac companying tho days of reconstruc tion, together with the fact that her children were very young. With a small farm, together with her earn ings as.a teacher of the neighboring children, she bravely supported her family. A high tribute i? one this Confederate mother for hei- example in her fu- [j lite -no ncr servies to the com? (inity at this period of sire",:?> iud hardship. Sh i sa hader in the luliltf. iii church worksite was foremost; in ministering to sick or bereaved neighbors, rich or poor, white or black, she was glad to help day or night, was thoughtful for t^oir comfort above her own. In her hon e she was unsurpassed in hospi tality; in political or educational questions she used her wide influ ence successfully for the good of her country; in every respect she was a true woman. Upon being asked why she did not break up house-keeping in her lonely old age she replied: "No reflection on any or my children; they have all kindly offered me their homes, but. I want to be so situated that I can entertain my friends at my own home, and at night when I am rest less and can't sleep I feel 'ree to sing old hymns, repeat Scripture and commune with the Lorn without dis turbing anybody." And now she has passed from the church below to the church above. To the dear ones remaining are the I tears, the grief, and tho loss; to her belong the Joy, tho crown, and the I victory. Mrs. D. A.

They are too languid to exercise, and as a result have appetite only for foods that seem light and tasty, such as salads and other cold concoctions. But these frequently produce Indigestion, and with it comes constipation. lt is especially in hot weather '.hat women should keep up the highest standard of health, for it is neces sary to have strength to resist the heat. The first essentials are good digestion and regular bowel move ment, and then good red blood and steady nerves will follow. The best way to obtain these is not by an over-indulgence in fruits, which of ten are not ripe, or over-ripe, and hence are dangerous, but in the use of a gentle and pleasant-tasting bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup P , sin. Use it to-nlgbt and your c< istipation, indigestion and sick hexdaches will vanish by morn ing. Mrs Henry Moeller, 2958 Lee avenue, Chicago, uses it herself and gives i; to her children, and Mrs. A.

Smith, of South Carolina, yester day introduced a resolution directing the Secretary of Commerce and La bor to Investigate the recent advance of tho price of bagging used in bal ing cotton, as well as tho advauco in the price of ties used to band or bale cotton, and to report to the Senate at the earliest possible time the cause of such advances. Because of the urgency of the matter, Sena tor Smith asked immediate consider ation of his resolution. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, objected on the ground that cotton bagging is put on the free Hst in tho pending tariff bill. To this the South Carolinian rejoined that If the government waited for the tariff bill to pass Its benefits would como too late to apply to the presen't cotton season, whereas an Immediate inves tigation might bring results in time to help in tho marketing of the pres ent crop and save tho farmers of South Carolina $160,000 or ? i 70, OOO and those of Georgia $300,000.
