The company has beeu reor I ganized with Col. A. B. Andrews as president. He was engaged when a boy of 17 iu the construction of the road and gave up his employment there to en ter the Confederate army, where he fought for four years with distinguish ed gallantry. He has come back in his maturer years to complete the work in wh ;h he was engaged more than forty years ago. It is one of the ambitions or his life to drive the Blue Ridge Railroad through the mountains and we have no doubt that he will be sustained in b?3 efforts by the great Southern Railway corporation of which he is first vice president. The comple tion of the Blue Ridge Road would mean a great deal for Charleston and the State, and we trust that all possi ble assistance will be extended to Col. Andrews in his work.-News and Cou rier. Col. A. B.Andrews has just been elected president of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and the people of Anderson, S.C., have their hopes of the early completion of that road through the mountains to Maryville, Tenn., thence to Knoxville and its western connec tions very much brightened and be lieve that their dream of years is at last to be realized.

Our coiiitnunity waa visited with a good shower of rain laut Friday even ing, which, ot' courne, waa much need ed, aa crops were beginning to suffer. It is our opinion that the cotton prospects at thin writing are not equal to conditions at this period last year. Early cotton is now blooming near the top of stalk, and late cotton will not be anything extra, unless seasons con tinue favorable from now on. Corn is line and promises an abundant yield, and also peavines sown for hay. Our venerable township supervisor, J. Martin Hauke, bad a narrow escape from death on last Wednesday after noon, while in the discharge of his duty, ile was riding a mule, which became frightened at pigs along the road, throwing him to the ground, breaking his left arm just above the elbow and also knocking his shoulder joint out of place. He was carried to town, where he received every atten tion possible and is doing aa well as could be expected of a mao of bi* nge. Mr. Hanks has most certainly served us efficiently as sub-supervisor, and wo can speak for the township in say ingthat his labors have been apprecia ted. It is our desire that he may have a speedy recovery to usual strength and health. Mrs. B. F. Gaasaway is vieiting rela tives near Neva. Miases Belle and Mattie Bigby are visiting in Anderson. J. T.

Will Hanks has about completed his new residence and is now occupying it. It is a nice dwelling and adds much to the appearance of our community. Watermelons are plentiful around here now, but somebody has been here of late borrowing them-at night, and we seriously object to such friendship as this. 1 We are all getting on nicely, consid ering this warm weather.
