derson, May 10.-'The Blu
e Railroad is to be complete
igh the mountains. The best af
nce that we can give of this i
the work has been under wa
some time in Tennessee an
ith Carolina." This was the stat(
nt made today 'by Col. A. B. Ar
ws, the president of the road, a
onference with the directors o
Chamber of Commerce at th
el Chiquola.
he Chamber of Commerce som
ago invited Col. Andrews an
W. W. Finley, the president o
Southern Railway, to come t
ersoni to confer with the peop]
.e about the completion of th
ad. Col Andrews is first vice-pres.
nt of the Southern as well as presi
it of the Blue Ridge Corporaitioi
r. Finley arrived in the city v
o'clock this morning from Greer
and Col. Andrews came in s
'clock from Seneca. The gent<
were met on their arrival b
nittees from the Chamber o
erce and carried on an aut<
e ride around the city, and ti
rence was held afterward c
Hotel Chiquola.
A the meeting today Capt. H. I
atkins acted as spokesman. In
ort talk he gave the railroad off
als the assurance that the peop]
Anderson were keenly alive to th
poruance of the completion of thi
ad, and were anxious to do ever.
ing in their power to secure it.
Col. Andrews and Mr. Finley bot
de frank talks in.reply, and thei
itements were more than satisfa<
-y to the Anderson people who .wer
sent.
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. Mu'ch of the grai
g has been done west of Bushnel
nn., but at this point the railroa
mpany has encountered an obstf
e whi'ch must be overcome befoi
ie work can proceed further. Bf
veen Bushnell and the Tennessc
e a water power company wants t
ild a dam across thme Tennesse
iver 123 feet high. 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.
"the people of Anderson wi
th us a little while longe:
ereise ,what patience they ca
atter wvill work out all rigla
Mm,'' said Col. Andrews.
eg Col. Andrewvs was here tw
o, 'ho said, he expected t
e the Blue Ridge Road corm
nd in operation. HIe W
splendidly today, and is ay
. y in the best of health, and hi
a onfldent as ever that lhe wi
' t'see the road completed.
ho Anti-Railroad Agitation.
n their talks today Mr. Finle
o1 Andrews spoke of the ant'
r ad agitation throughout th
itry, and tightness of the mone
et for some time past. Many ir
rs have -beep unwilling to pi
money in rtdilroad securities uil
he atmosphere. has been elearei
the agitation, has subsided.
th gentlemen spoke of the cori
tive spirit,.t'hat has been show:
outh Carolina in dealing wit:
ads, and. they said it had give:
much encouragemlent in thei
,and they tbeliev,ed it -wouII
o bonafieial .to the stated
toy could not .give an~y definit
menit as to' when- the road wvoul
mnleted, a ihe will have t
await the result of the law suit with
the Water Power Company, as. well
as for a change in financial condi
tions. 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.
