An Obstacle Encountered. rhe subsitance of, their statemehl s that the road is to 'be complete< id that much of the woik has a ady been done in: North Carolin i Tennessee.

If this is don e low grade of the road, as surve) and planned, -will *be destroye< d the road wvould have to be ,buil nt the side of a mountain. Thi o uld cost more to build, as well a -stroy the lowv grade that is imeel ,and thus impair the usofulnem id traffic capacity oft the roadi ompleted. The matter has bee arried into the Courts, the powe ompany having started condemnt on proceedings and in the mear me the railroad has practically sm~ nded the work that it had unde ay. Mr. Finley stated that the- Souti 'n Railway offeials fully realize tht ey need an additional line throng mountains, and it will be buil re than all, it is desired that thm v line shall have an easy grad' s to permit of heavy traffe.

They say they confidently be lieve though 'that both matters will be satisfactorily adjusted before a great v'hile, and when this has been ac complished the twork will be taken e up and pushed molie actively than e has been done heretofore. The need 0 for the road is becoming more press ing every day, and it cannot be much e longer delayed, both of them said. r The South Progressing. 0 Mr. Finley and Col. Andrews ex M pressed 'themselves as being much B impressed with the progress of the South, and especially of this section. No other section of the United States is m6king such progress, Mr. Finley e. said, but it cannot go much farther d without increased transportation fa cilities. To secure these the peo a ple must co-operate with the manage Y ment of the railroads. There must d be a better understanding and a bet ter feeling. The development of this section depen'ds on the railroads t more than on anything else. The f management of tihe railroads want e to extend their lines,; but they must lave the support and co-operation e of the people if they are to do this. I Much interest has been felt in their D visit here, and their cpateiiits will o be received with the liveliest .satis e faction not only in, Anderson, but e throughout the entire state. Col. Andrews began his railroad work in Anderson as a member of ,. tihe enginecer corps .on the old Blue t Ridge Road, before the civil war. He left here at the beginning of the war t and w,cnt to his home in North Car - olino, where he enlisted in the army y and serve'd gallantly through the en f tire ivar.
