While then* is nut much probability
of th?* Southern voluntarily taking up
the proposition to completo thc Hluc
Ridge, yet if thu people of Anderson
take up ami urge it upon the manage
ment of the road there is a possibility
(hat Kotuething may be accom pl tailed.
The completion of the roud will not
come of its own accord, although a?
a mutter of equity ami Justice, the
Southern should do something for this
waif of a road which might become one
of the bent trunk linea In the country.
The proposition ls that Anderson
mutti have more and better railroad
facilities.
That mix h is settled. The people
of this city will not be conten? to
have Anderson deprived of railroad
facilities sufficient lo make this u great
railroad terminus. We have heard u
suggestion .coming from Prof. Scott
Murruy, of Mener University, that
Anderson might get u connection with
the Georgia Central by building to
Athens und thus become a distribu
ting center. The territory between
Anderson and Athens hus been much
worked up over the need for a rail
road splitting that rich, and yet un
traveraed country, and if the Interur
ban doesn't put the proposition
through, some other, proposition may
forestall it.
The completion of the Blue Ridge,
however, ls the one great desidera
tum. It would put Anderson 84 miles
nearer Knoxville and viu Knoxville to
the middle west. Do the people of
Anderson rcullze what thut 84 miles
would mean to the city? The entire
line from Anderson to Knoxville would
be but 185 miles. That would mean
a great reduction lu the freight on
shipments from the middle west. Not
only Anderson, but Columbia and
Charleston as well 1 as intermediate
points would enjoy this Improved ser
vice. And but 60 miles remains to be
built.
The road bed of the Blue Ridge is
graded for a large part of the distance
where no track has been laid, and
much of the heavy work has already
been done. There remains a short por
tion of the tunnel near Walhalla to
be blasted out and when this is done,
there would not bw much trouble to
get to Clayton. Qa., and If the South
ern can do no more for the present,
lt might ot least complete the Blue
Ridge to Clayton. This would open
The Blue Ridge
a wonderful summer resort country
mid we feel sure that ll would spring
Into Instant favor. The country
around Clayton fa said to he the tuout
natural orchard in the world, and hy
building u railroad through there,
farming and fruit growing would he
given au impetus.
It strikes us that the opening of
this line would appeal to Cincinnati
atid Chicago. They would he given
a line with an easy grade all the way,
and it would make commerce between
this state and the middle west seem
more natural. The South is getting
out of the hands of Wall Street and
the commerce of the south will some
day leave New York.
In connection with this proposition.
Mr. A. S. Farmer last year figured
'hat lu the saving on local freight
alone, lt would benefit Anderson about
190,000 a year to have this line built
through to Knoxville, not to mention
attendant benefits. Here are some of
the figures presented by Mr. Fanner:
Present rate on coal from Knoxville
district to Atlantn 11.35 per ton. Pres
ent rate on coal from Knoxville dis
trict to.Anderson district $2 per ton.
Our present consumption around
Anderson per annum, 70.UU0 tons, sav
ing of 05 cents a ton making a total
$45.500.
Present consumption of oil and
oil products is 41C5 tons, present rate
to Atlanta, 51 cents, against G3 1-2
cents tb Anderson, which would also
make a saving of $1,412.50.
Grain 2.000tons.
Flour 4,000 tons.
Feed stuffs, 3,000 tons.
Hay, l.OOO tons.
Live stock. 2,000 tons.
Meat-Packing house products, 2,
000 tons.
Vehicles. 1.000 tons.
Cotton factory products, 5,000 tons.
Total. 20,000 tons In which we
should get a reduction of $2 per ton,
which would figure out $40.000.
Total annual saving in freights,
$80,912.50.
We think the people of Anderson
should not let up on this matter, but
should ever keep In mind aa the one
great thing to be desired and to lose
no opportunity, in fact to make every
opportunity, to impress upon the
heads or the great Southern railway
that tbis line would build up and stim
ulate a great section of their territo
ry, as well as to give direct benefits
to the citizens along the proposed
line.
S hewing Good Ser
? ? ? ' .j ? ? i ? "r ?
The Daily Intelligencer has consis
tently taken the position that thia city
has been given a good contract for
water and lights and that at this time
municipal ownership would a moral
and financial blunder. We are glad
that must of the thinking business men
of the community are of the same
mind that we are, and eventually the
entire people of this community will
come around to agree that the South
ern Public Utilities company, while a
good thing to attack in politics, is
perhaps the greatest single factor in
thc development of Anderson.
Our principal reason for not favor
ing the ownership of these utilities is
that it would be a poor business pro
position. The city can todny buy the
water works system, but what in the
world would we waut with it? The
theory of municipal ownership Is per
fectly beautiful, and as a matter of
fact we believe In it. but who wishes
to own something that is not only not
profitable but is or would be a dead
loss? The books of the company we
are informed show that the water
works company bas never made a cent
of money and at times has lost heavily.
At present the company is engaged in
putting in over 926.000 in improve
ments. If the city owned the plant lt
would have to spend this money and
besides there are other improvements
and extension work to bc done later.
If the city should take over the
water plant, not only would the city
be subject to liability for damages,
and would have to pay the interest on
the bonds, but lt would also have to
lose the taxes that the company is
paying to the city and to the county.
That ls an item which would offset any
chance of the city's reducing the rates
on water, and all that the city would
have by such a transaction would be
the nominal ownership of an expen
sive plant, the upkeep of which might
be a great expense in the 'uture.
The policy of this paper ls that ll
would be poor economy to tie up thc
city to the stake of bonded indebted
ness for something which would reallj
be of no direct benefit to tbe people
If any other company could come li
here and give better service at thc
same rates, let them do it. This ls no
an exclusive franchise. But we be
lleve a comparison will show tha
Anderson is getting good, pure wate:
at a very low rate.
Qm the other hand the city by nsini
beness Indebtedness of the sam
r astount could pave streets whlcl

would attract home seekers. It will
not be easy to get Anderson to develop
much more until she has paved streets.
That is our proposition and our
whole proposition. That while we
concedo that municipal ownership is
a very good thing, a desirable thing in
fact, it would be unprofitable, and
therefore a needless expense, pre
venting us from getting other things
that we need badly.
From tbe yarna that have been told
upon it, the Southern Public Utilities
company ls not popular here with
Borne who jump at conclusions, and it
ls not a popular thing, perhaps, for'
us to champion the cause of these
people, and we are not doing it be
cause of the company, which is well
able to take care of Itself, or should
be, but our mterest ls for the up
building of the city of Anderson, Peo
ple who talk the loudest about munici
pal ownership would vote against lt
when they, undoretood the proposition
and realized that it would be a costly
experiment for Anderson.
, This 'happened tn Wlnston-Saiem
last weeli. There was an agitation
there to vote bonds to buy the electric
light plant from the Southern Public
Utilities cmpany. It met with favor at
first, b-.t the more the i<eoplo thought
of lt the more they became convinced
that the. municipality could not com
pete with a company tn that line of
business and they voted down the
bond hsue for purchasing thc plant,
but' showed that the community was
not niggardly by voting bonds for a
larger amunt for school purposes and
for sewerage, eic, things a public
utilities corporation could not do for
them. The editorial on this page
from the Winston-Salem Journal,
along the same lines as one from the
Twin-City Sentinel which we quoted
yesterday, shows the sentiment ot the
people. The people wanted municipal
ownership, but saw it was Inexpedient,
ami expenplve, and lt has confidence
In the Southern Public Utilities com
pany. Winston? as' Greenville and
other smart cities, r?alises that a com-,
pany of this kino' will spend money
most freely where ' the spirit of. tho
people is progressive and where tho
threat of tho pessimist ls not an im
pending danger to Investments.
The vote for other bonds was 9,13
aga i nut 34; for the municipal owner
ship proposition, 336 against 698.

(Columbia Record.)
"I have been governor fur the past
three year? and nobody else hus been,"
said Governor Blease ut St. Matthews.
Ves, Mr. Blease has been governor
for the past three years and, in the
meantime, almost every part of the
machinery of government bas been
meddled with, disorganized, put out of
gear or broken down completely.
The governor has Interfered with
the co-ordinate departments of gov
ernment, the judiciary and the legis
-latuie. with the result of gravely im
pairing their dignity and capucity for
usefulness.
He has Interfered with and impaired
the effect for good of the work of the
judges and Jurien of the state by turn
ing out of the state penitentiary over
twelve hundred convicts sent there to
exped?ate crimes of the most aggra
vated character, running the entire
gamut from murder to burglury and
larceny.
He han interfered with the discipline
of the military arm of the govern
ment, with the result of disorganizing
the national guard and causing the
withdrawal from South Carolina's
volunteer troop not only all iinancial
aid und military supplies on the part
of the federal government, but the
humiliating revocation of the invita
tion that had already been extended
to our soldiers to participate in the
annual encampment und school of in
struction.
Ile has Interfered with the admin
istration of the affairs of ' the state
hospital for the insane, with the re
sult of driving from it the able, trusted
and experienced head of lt and his
woman assistant (demonstrated to
have been the nlost faithful and effic
ient member of the staff) leaving that
with its hundreds of afflicted inmates,
to the protection and care of the least
efficient. (And, by the way, when the
campaigners -open up on the asylum
subject, as, we believe, they inevitably
will in this campaign "before many
more moons," something is going to
break loose in Suth Carolina, or we
are no prophet.)
The governor has interfered with
the state treasury and its method of
raising revenue to keep the wheels of
government going, with the result that
this state ts confronted with the pros
pect of an absolutely empty treasury
in August and the probability of the
general assembly having to be called
together in extra session to repair, the
blunder brought about by his veto.
Mr. Blease has "been governor and
nobody else has been" and he has tried
to be the chief cook, dish washer and
everything else beside, and if he had
three more years in the office and
kept up his' record, we believe he
would be able to boast that ?he had
wiped South Carolina from the map
of the sovereign and self-governing
sisterhood of the union. .> .. -

Charlotte (N. C.) Observer.
Concord fishermen have won u nook
in the fishermen's hall of fame. Their
activities and success at the time-hon
ored sport have caused J. Hope Smith,
the bard of thu Poplar Tent, to break
into poetry and immortalise Dave
Fowlke's catch ot a 36-pound carp in
verse. They, have ; pulled the inhabi
tants of Rocky River, Cold Water,
Coddle and Buffalo to the banks at
[Buch an alarming rate that they have
now centered their activities on the
Catawba and their action has created

We haven't time to play doctor to

I a recent hedline in Thc Intelligencer:
"John D. Lends Deaf Optic."
Wouldn't a-thought John would
a-done that would you now?
One tiny bird's peep must have
awakened him, for bis eyes fluttered
open and the little song-just a form
less twittering, fall on his ear. Soon
a catbird took up a raucous note and
the two aroused themocklng bird. Ha,
that song weaving liquid quality Into
the coarser fabric. It was the same
old mocking-bird which used to Bit
in the huge old spreading oak tree
right near the kitchen, when mother
dreamed in the evenlngtime and called
it her bird. Came the sounds of the
barnyard and the sleeper WSB wide
awake and all the world was young,
joyous and sweet.
Life seemed fresh on his lips and
cheek, and a youthful heart pumped
intoxicating delight to every fibre of
his being. Once again it was play time
and the woodland was full of the cas
tles and knights and kings on their
thrones. The way was long to grand
mother's and her*scrubblng cloth as
fiercely * rasping on tender, dirty legs
when night was come. How thirsty
he was and there was a cool drip,
drip, of the crystal water from the
long iron bucket drawn fresh from
the deep,narrow well. He must tilt that
bucket and drink deep of its con
tent r.
The song of the mocking bird ceas
ing? Yes, it was gone. He came back
from 20 years ago with a twinge of
fevered, aching head. The home with
the iron bucket of dripping, silver life
was far away. The grandmother waa
burled in the graveyard where the ce
dars and pines nearly hide the graying,
little white church. The mother no
longer dreamed on the kitchen stoop
under the snell of song. Life was sot
fresh on Up or. cheek and the blood
pumped .through.an aching body was
filled "with the lassitude of age. Love
was dead,' The world wasj O, so 'old,
old! V "'.
