Sandy SpringSr-fnUluti^ pen ver and
Seneca, and oth?? eulie* th rough the
country from Westminister. When
the train leaving Anderdon ut 7:20j
arrived at Walhalla there were bu
tween 40 and ??<) visitors aboard.
It wa? indeed au "Anderson" train.
At tho throttle was I bat veteran driver
of the fussy gas-electric-Holcombe

that prince of railroad men. Capt. W.
"Julo" Anderson. -r And Just for good

M upc ri ii tendent: 'ot Sfhcf r?irtd, mude one

Arriving at Walhalla^thc party was
mut by In a truly hospitable manner
by the citizens of that staunch old
community, und after a few minutes
of handshaking and becoming ac
quainted, the /arti"' was soon put
aboard for a'trnsmdntarie ride. For
tlie day wa? being celebrated us much
ns a compliment to thtTp?ople of Wal
halla for building a "speedwuy" over
the mountains as it was on be ac
count of thu action of thc officials of
thu Hlue Ridge and tho Southern Rali
way in putting on the gas-electric
train. >
ht
That trip was a revelation to every
visitor who hud been given thu oppor
tunity to see what Walhalla hus been
doing in the way of road building.
Thu reporter for The Intelligencer
waa taken aboard a Chalmers by Col.
R. T. Jayncs, and In 23 minutes after
leaving the hotel, the car had passed
thu home of Mr. Pincher on tho top
of Stump House Mountuin. The road
wus os smooth as Anderson's much
boasted Wllllumston highway. Prom
there to Mountain rest, the home of
Albert Brown, the1 superintendent of
construction of .lids mountain high
way, thu trip was'uiude in very fast
timo, with the exception of one short
stretch of a quoTler of" a mlle where
th? force is now al.work widening and
grading thc road) 'anti' this will be
completed by the end of the week. The
time from Walhalla'to Mr. Brown's
wns made in 45 minutos, 12 miles.
This car did hov '??dp at Russell's
but went on a mile further to Whit
mlrc'B in Italian county, Georgia, and
the strete.ii from Albert Brown's waa
made in 22 minutes, or 18 minutes to
Russell's. It requires Just exactly
flvo minutes to climb Callas Mountain
on the way. In other words the run
ning time from Walhalla to Russell's
wns less than an hour and a quarter,
whereas before tilia, road work was
done it required '?MP?'day. That is
a great achievement.
Col. Jayncs, who promotes this high
way, and Albert Brown, who super
vised the hean f"VfKsaUfcllon work on
Callas mountain, are Justly proud of
what has been done. The sturdy
citizens of Walhalla gave $1,000 for
the work and the mountaineers made
lt about $5,000 ?h.H^VrM. value.
Mr. Brown said that he could hard
ly believe what had buen accomplish
ed, wheo he considers the condition
of the road ono-jreer ago compared
with its prcsenWsp||ndld condition.
The road is bullB unfit a survey made
by I. W. IlarrwSfi .BW1 W. C. Hughs
of Walhalla who spent two weeks up
on it Inst summer. The road over
Stump House Mountain was surveyed
some 15 years ago by Col. Jno. V.
Stribllng and needed very little alter
ations. Supervisor Poster of Oconoe
county has giyaa valuable assistance
to this project-and has done a great
deal to make the highway possible.
This is only a part of his work, how
ever, for be his Improved all of the
road of Oconeo county.
Albert Browi was in chargo of thc
construction of
house Mountain to Russell's and Al
bert Win'tm I re! built tho road from
thc road from Stump
there to the SU te line, a distance of a
mlle. This Is a beautiful piece of
work. There I amaina a stretch of
about eight ml es to be completed to
Highlands. This is all within the
State of Georgia, for the road from
Highlands to Mj^uQfiasgj^Ine on the
other linea haa^ljAjMagdM^ploted by
e Gratification
Transylvania county, North C'nrolinu. I
Thc Ihr?'? mates corner right hore,
ami I hf road < nts efl a corner oil
Kalnm county, Georgia, a rough and
rugged (?ieee ol travel. This must be
completed iii order to muk?; tho whole
road a success. For il is an axiom
that no road is any better than ita
weakest link. Anderdon has been
asked to pul np $500 as her share ot
the fund necessary to eliminate this
weak link and to make the whole road
?i speedway. The Anderson men pre
sent at th<- meeting yesterday pledged
thu money.
Lust year it required half a day to
make the trip from Walhalla to Rus
sell':}, and a who)?! day lo Highlands.
Now the trip to Kussel l's ran bu made
in an hour and a half hy any kind of
automobile, and as roon UH tin; weak
link is strengthened, a person can
leave Anderson in thu morning, go to
Highlands for dinner and eat supper
in Anderson. This ls a triumph in
road building and is a groat tiling for
Anderson, as there are hark in those
mountains hundreds of farmers grow
ing mick who will then be able to
place it upon Anderson market,
whereas it now is wasted.
So much for the business of the
transmontano trip. There were
abou! 15 ears in tho cavalcade, and Hie
outing for the Anderson 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 tile most beautiful Spots
in all creation. The valley of which
Russell's is the head, ls incompara
ble for !ovlinc88. Flanked on both
sides, at possibly the distance of a
inile hy the serried ranks of fir tipped
mountains, soft in that hazy mystery
which gives thc name ethereal "blue"
lo this map liflclent range, the valicy
follows the bold Chattooga for sev
eral miles, nnd in its whole extent is
one vast Held of rustling corn, such
as any Anderson county farmer would
be proud of.
Russell's Is not a town, or yet a
country store, 'out the home of a splen
did mountaineer of the name, who ls
more of a king today in this lofty
principality of his than is any crown
ed head of Europe. The hospitality
of this home has been sought BO much
that it has become necessary for Mr.
Russell to enlarge his home to the
proportions of an old fashioned En
glish road house, which it resembles
In Hie eharm of its whole surround
ings and the neatness of its appoint-1
ments. The spring Just in thc rear
of thc house issues a bold stream of
water almost icy coal, so cold as to
bo a phenomenon much remarked
upon.
And lt Is eomcwhat remarkable that
although the party left Walhalla not
earlier than 10 o'clock, and stopped a
few minutes at Alhert Urown's and
LINK SEVEN
at thc summit of Tunnel Hill, yet
there was time for the purty to take
a plunge Into the inviting waters of
the Chattooga, and many of them
uvailed themselves of tho opportunity.
And yet tho entire party returned to
Walhalla in time for dinner, Which
was served at 1:30.
This dinner was given by thc busi
ness men of Walhalla, complimentary
to the visitors and dinner was dis
patched and a number of long speech
es made, and yet some of thc party left
Walhalla on the 3:20 trula and missed
a portion of one ?peech.
To attempt to follow all that waa
said would ba impossible, suffice it to
say that the spirit of the occasion was
one of extreme cordiality among all
of tho communities represented, and
thc Hine Ridge railway and its man
agement was given a rousing send off
for the splendid work it has inaugu
rated in putting on a train service
which will bring all of the towns in
to closer communication.
Mayor W. M. Hrown of Walhalla, a
citizen who takes the lead in progres
sive work, made a strong address of
welcome in which he laid out a policy
of friendship for all of the communi
ties, und he called attention briefly
to some ot tho things to bc accom
plished by building thc highway
through to Highlands and Casslmero's
valley.
W. C. Hughs also mndo a stirring
address of welcome and tho editor of
Tho Intelligencer was called upon to
respond. Then the owns along the
line were called upon. Dr.Jas. P.
winard made a chaste and earnest
talk about Anderson and Anderson
College which was enthusiastically
received. Capt. M. M. Hunter from
Pendleton, P. H. Shirley from West
minister, V. L. Norman from Seneca,
were among the South Carolina rep
resentatives.
One of the most interesting talks
was by Prof. Harbison of Highlands.
After telling what had been done in
road building In that section, and
what remained to bo done, he opened
the eyes of the assembled company
by stating some facts and statistics
of Highlands with reference to the
climate and the -adaptability of the
soil to producing everything concclva

A Mexican anny entraining is pic

As many women go as want to-and
when aa army moves out from a large
city the number of soldaderas is pret
ty likely to bo moro than one-third
that of the soldados. And many of
them have one or several children.
From the days of the Montezumas,
Mexican women have borne their part
In war, and Mexico cannot imagine an
effective anny without its array ow
women camp followers. They forage
for the army's food and cook lt. They
carry water to their men on the bat
tlefield; they are thc only nurses that
the wounded have; frequently. they
march beside the weary soldiers car
rying, not only the camp equipment
but their guns as well. They are
brave, patient, hard working and faith
full Sometimes they aro tho legal
wives of the men they accompany;
more often their relations are for the
campaign only. These soldaderas
range in age from 12 or 15 years, to
60 or more-tho older women being,
usually, thc mothers of conscripts,
who elect to follow their sons to the
front.
!t may seen strange that women In
such numbers undertake the dangers
and hardships of a campaign, but Ufo
is cheaply held amorig the lower class
es in Mexico, and hardships and fa
tigue are tho common lot in peace or
war. Besides these women plunder the
dead on the battlefield and pick up
what they can on the march. A
woman cooks for her own man as a
matter of course. If she cooks for
any others they pay her, and pay well.

For the most part men seem to be

gencer of Sunday. The only effective
way to stop the sale of liquor is to put
thc violators af the law oa the chain
gang. This is the only way to clean
out our city of thc dark, suspicious
places. What good ? doeB it do to
fine thc blind tiger's $50 or $100?
They can make up thal amount in a
few days by returning to their same
old business.
In this so-called, dry city there is
enough booze sold', and money made
from same, to clotho and feed all
those unfortunate women and chil
dren who have to - suffer on account
of those men who have no sense of
responsibility, not manhood enough
to think and take care a little better..
of their wives and innocent little
children who are in want' of dally,
necessities.
Let us all sympathize with thoBO
unfortunate women and children who
are wailing in vain for their father
to come home sober, the father who
should spend his earnings with his.
beloved ones instead of feeding men
that are a curse to any community.
Let us sympathize with those men that
have formed a partnership with John
Barleycorn, a partnership thht will
eventually lead them to the road of
destruction. But let us condemn the '
men that make a living from' blood
money, money that should go to the
groceryman, butcher and mille man.
Let the courts of justice send the
violators of the liquor law to the
