SULLIVAN. RICHEST TAR IN NAVY SLAIN. Anderson Hoy, Recently Heir to $2J*0,000 Killed in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, July 25.-Wilbur Martin, the young sailor from An derson, S. C., who was killed here recently in a tenderloin saloon, was worth more than $250,000 in his own right, according to information received here to-drty. He was the richest enlisted mun in the navy. The fascination that the sea held for him and the adventures of a naval career led him to give up the enjoyment of his fortune to become a common seaman on the battleship Connecticut. He inherited this fortune when his mother died last March. His relatives at once began to plead with him to give up his adventurous ?ire and settle down In Anderson. The lure of the sea was too great, how ever, and he disregarded their plead ings and advice. In despair, his rel atives appealed to Washington, but this last hope was without avail. The mysterious circumstances sur rounding the death of Martin are thought to h*ave been explained by the discovery to-day of a bottle of heroin, which is supposed to havo belonged to him, Hospital pryslcians say drugs eau Bea bis death, and lt is believed he was the victim of "knockout drops."

Commissioner Watson believes that, with proper co-operation and at a very small cost, the proposed beau tiful new public highway across the crest of tlie Blue Ridge via Anderson and Walhalla to Lake Toxaway, pen etrating tho beautiful Sapphire country, can be put in flrst class shape for use before the early fall, thus affording people going to the Blue Ridge country an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery dur ing the last hot weeks of September and during the beautiful month of October. Recently the commissioner of ag riculture, in order to Hil Important engagements at Anderson, Walhalla and Lake Toxaway, made use of the occasion to prospect this proposed route. He was so much pleased with the feasibility of the undertak ing that Immediately upon his arri val in Washington, D. C., where he was to meet Dr. Joseph'Hyde Pratt, State geologist of North Carolina, at a committee meeting lie took the matter up with Dr. Pratt. Dr. Pratt undertook to look carefully into the matter of seeing what could be. done at once to put the North Carolina side of the road in first class condi tion, saying at the time he thought the arrangement could be made eas ily. Yesterday Commissioner Wat son received the following letter from Dr. Pratt, which shows, that as far as North Carolina is concerned, its 20 or more miles of road to the State line will be put'in first class condition immediately upon the as surance of the commissioner that the South Carolina side of the road will be handled to the State line: Copy of Letter. .'My Dear Mr. Watson: I am just In receipt of a letter from Mr. Jen nings, and he states that in this judg ment there will be no trouble at all in arranging for the construction of the road from tho South Carolina line to Lake Toxaway, provided you will guarantee the construction of the road to the North Carolina line, and will sign-post the road; then publish a guide book, giving the log ging of it. "1 took this up with Mr. Jennings along the lines 1 talked willi you when I saw you in Washington, and he says that he will personally be come interested in the road to a con siderable extent and can get the citi zens and the guests of the hotel and the company to provide what ls nec essary. I am to meet Mr. Jennings in August at Lake Toxaway and I would like to hear from you In the next week or ten days, stating to me in the form of a letter that you will see that the road is built to the North Carolina line, and arrange for sign-posting and logging the road. Mr. Jennings ?vants to see the road started this year, so that there will be no question about Its being open and ready for traffic next spring and summer. , "Yours very truly, "Joseph Hyde Pratt, "State Geologist." Mr. Watson yesterday stated that he saw no reason why this work could not be done immediately. He had found men In Anderson county anxious to have "my town" on such a line of travel ready to do their part, and he had found in the citi zens of Walhalla, and particularly in Mayor W. 'M. Brown, who went over the route with him, enthusiastic ad vocates and supporters of the propo sition to open this highway. He stated yesterday that he immediate ly will take this matter up with prominent men in Anderson and at Walhalla and consult with the county supervisors of Anderson and Oconee and do everything In his power to insure tho South Carolina guarantee asked for. Place Signs. He stated that as far as the State Department was concerned it would promptly place indestructible steel signs over the entire route and issue a special chart book connecting with the book already Issued from Co lumbia to Greenville at Laurens. The proposed route from Charleston and Columbia would, of course, connect at Anderson with tho National High way and at Laurens with the Capltal to-Pledmont Highway. Mr. Watson says that the first 15 miles out of Walhalla, ascending the foothills of the mountains, is already In such shape that lt could be well night perfect with very little effort. Tho North Carolina line ls Just exactly 188.5 miles from the city of Colum bia, and the part that would have to be virtually reconstructed does not begin until a point 181.3 miles from Columbia has been reached. This means, as far as South Carolina is concerned, the means necessary for construction of only 7 V* miles, ap proximately, would have to be raised, and if the county authorities would do their part, as they undoubtedly would, that cost would bo a mini mum. Mr. Watson la or the opinion that by the use of a few corrugated metal culverts with the employment of a substantial gang for ten or 15 days, the work could be done in splendid shape.
