Transmontan j Juica Verne wrote a whole book on the subject "Around the World in Eight Days." But he didn't write the book hi eight days. And ho didn't try to make a trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains in even one day. The par ty which wont from Anderson lo Wal halla Monday morning on jflre "grati nent ion trip", saw so many things that many of tho members feel that they ' had almost been around, tho world, and it would require many days.to tell of it. ' ' .1- '" ' And. soon as it was announced by Capt. Jno. R. Anderson, superinten dent of the Blue Ridgo Railway, that Iiis road would .operate the gus-elec tric train and give Anderson two ad ditional trains west of this city, the people along th? line were so much pleased that the Anderson Chamber Of Commerce decided to have a "gratification trip". It is a matter of regret that many who had' Intended to , go were prevented by the sorrow which came upon the city Sunday, but there were more'.than a score of busi ness men from this city and tho dele gation was Increased at Pcndlcton, Sandy vSprings, Autun, Denvor - and Seneca, and others came through the country from Westminister. When the train leaving Anderson at 7:20 arrived at Wall ml la there were be tween (0 and CO Visitors aboard. It wie indeed iah "Anderson" train. At the throttle was that veteran driver of the fussy gas oleetrie?Holcomhe Anderson, and tha .ticket taker . seas that prince of vallroad men, Capt. W. "julo" Andorroti! And-just for good n^casurc Capt.-'.Jih?i*"H. Anderson, the Superintendent of tho road, made one bf tho "booBtors// .- ~ * ' Arriving ?t Walhalla, :tho party was ntet by in a truly hospitable manner by tho citizens of that staunch old community,, and after a few minutes of handshaking ,aud becoming ac . quainted, the party was.?.-soon put aboard for a trasmontane ride. For tlie day was being celebrated as much as a compliment tc tho people of Wal halla for building a "upcedway" over tho mountains as It was on be - ac count o? the action of - the officials of tho Blue Ridge and the Southern Rall . way fn putting on the- - gas-electric .- '-That tr|p was a r?v?lation to'every visitor, whohad been given the oppor tunity to gae vrhat Walhalla has been ' dplng;ln the way "?f road bunding. , T*hV~!rep?r^' ^?i^^^^^fi^B^^ , , was takeii abbareT'a 'Chalmers by ' Col R.

This must be completed in order to make the whole ; road a success. Fpr it is an axiom thatiiio road is any better than its weakest link. Anderson bas been usktd to' put up $500 as her share or. the fund necessary to'eliminate this weak link and to make the whole road i a speedway. The Anderson men pre sent at tho meeting yesterday pledged the money. Last year it required half a day to make the trip from Walhalla to Rus sell's, and a whole day to Highlands. Now the trip to Russell's can be made in an hour and a half by any kind of automobile, and as' soon as the weak link ' is strengthened, a person can lcavo Anderson in'the morning,, go to Highlands for dinner and cat supper in Anderson. This is a triumph in road building and is a great thing for Anderson, as there are back in those mountains hundreds of farmers grow ing truck who will then be able to place it upon Anderson market, whereas it now is wasted: So much for tho business of the tranBinoutane trip. :,There were about15 cars in the cavalcade, and the outing' for the Andorsoft and other visitors it was a rare treat, this spin to the top of one mountain and, over to the top of another, and then into into one of the most beautiful spots in a!! creation. The valley om hich Russell's is the -head, is incompara ble for lovliness. Chinked on botb sides, at possibly the distance of a mile by the serried ranks of fir tipped mountains, soft In that* hazy mystery which gives the name ethereal "blue", to this magnifiaient range, the valley follows the bold ?hattooga for sev eral miles, and In its whole extent Is one. vast Held of rustling corn, such as any Anderson county farmer would' be proud o?. Russell's is not a town, or yet a country, store/but the home of a splen did mountaineer of the name,..who is more of a king today in- this lofty principality of his than is any crown ed head of Europe. The hospitality of this homq has been .sought so.much that it baa become necessary for Mr. RUssell to enlarge. his borne to the proportions of an old fashioned En glish road, hpuse, .which, it resembles in, tbc charm of its: whole, surround?

To attempt to follow all that was said would be impossible, suffice it to any that the spirit of tho occasion was one of extreme cordiality among all of the communities' represented, and the Blue Ridge railv/ay and its man agement was given a rousing send off for / tho splendid' work it has inaugu rated^ In putting, on a train servico which will'bring all of the towns In to closer, communication. .Mayor.
