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

other lines has been completed, by
Transylvania county, North Carolina.:
Tho threo states corner right here,
and the road cuts off a corner of
Rabun county, Georgia, ta rough and
Tugged piece of travel. 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?
Inge anil the neatness .of its' appoint
ments. Tho spring Just In the rear
of tho house,issues a bold stream of
water almost icy cold, so cold'.as to
be a. phenomenon much -remarked
Upon. N
And it 1b comowhat remarkable that
although tho party left. WalhullMnot
earlier th?n 10 o'clock,'and stopped a
tew\ minutes at Albert Brown's,, and
LINK S?TEN
at the summit of Tunnel Hill, yet
there., was time -for, the party .to take
a plunge into, the inviting waters of
the Chattpoga, and many of ( them
'ayaUed themselves 0f th0 opportunity.
And yet tho entire party returned to
Walhalla in time for dinner/ whWh
was sorved at 1;'30. f
. .This-dinner was given by. tho busi
ness men Of Walhalla; complimentary'
to tho visitors and dinner was dis
patched and a number of long speech
es made, and yet some of the party-left
Walhalla on the 8:20 train and missed
a portion of one speech..
. 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.

Anderson with cabbage heads enough
to get the heads of his girls educated

back has been the lack of means of i

playground to the well to do it would
also open the markets uf Mie world to
thp greatest truck gardens in the
world, the valleys and coves of Wes

Secretary Whalcy of Anderson and
Col; B, ,J. Watson, state secretary o'f
agriculture, made addresses. Col.
Watson announced that he is now on
a/trip, making a map of this highway
to-be sent all'Over the'United States
wherever tourist .travel is solicited.
Ho congratulated the people of Wal
halla upon their wonderful achieve
ment and stressed the * remarks of j
Prof. Harbison as to the fertility of
the grcat*platcau of the Highlands.
At the conclusion of the hearty din- '
nor and the speeches, the party dis
persed to get better acquainted with
Walhalla. Somo took a spin to West
minister, a distance of 12 miles, over
a splendid road built by Walhalla at
a cost of $4,000. Among other points
of interest visited was the 200 acre
peach orchard* of Jesse Carter. He
was in the midst of shipping a car
load of Elbertas to New York, to be
distributed there at a price of $5 per
crate?but, as Kipling says, that is
another story.
The entire party assembled at the
Bluo Ridge station at 6:30 and caught
the last" return trip of the gas-electric
and at 8 o'clock all wcro in Ander

Senator Smith
To Camj
Senator, E, D, Smith yesterday de-]'
parted from ilia usual custom of not i
paying attention to charges made i
against him and refuted some of them \
by presenting tho record. One of i
these was the charge that lie had voted i
against the separate; cone h law. Sen- ;
at or Smith allowed that the only thing
which could be construed this way '
was his vote against an inferioi prop- i
osition for a bill which was better, 1
which subsequently became the law. <
In opening his speech he took note <
of the gibes at the parude given by '.
some country poeplo In compliment i
to the senator and declared that ho <
was surpirscd "that?any Southern :
man, any South Carolinian, seeing 1
that splendid pageant this morning i
should dare to criticise any cause for ]
whom.it was inaugurated, because in '
that pageant t he re was a combination i
which should fire tho heart of every
South Carolinian. > !
"In thut parade there came into 1
conjunction this morning the two !
things that make our State prosper- '
ous and glorious?the silken fibre of
cotton, in which there is every store \
and church,- every school boitse, the
conifer's and convenience of every 1
home; and wearing the bloom from 1
that cotton, was the pride and glory
of South Carolina?-her immaculate 1
and' matchless womanhood. I wan no 1
grander emblem for my coat of urms !
than the bloom of the'cotton worn by
noble South Carolina women, and I '
thank God that was my badge this !
morning."
In answering certain, charges made j
in the campaign, tho senator said;
"Now let's get down to the record, j
Before I begin to talk, cotton and the ]
CUrrCr.^y Mui oLiun, X -want iu refer hi ;
some 1 statements this morning. The i
governor j said that I had voted to t
give $2;0Q0 to the family of one lynch- ]
ed. Mr. Tillman and the reform par- i
ty of South Carolina'-wrote that Into i
the organic law of . this state, and i
when I wont to the. state legislature i
I took a solemn oath that I would j
'preserve, protect and defend the con- |
stltutiqn of this state;' and so long as i
there Is a 1 a. w upon the. statute books,' <

"I do not propose to perjure myself, I

who .even while his heart was break
