The opening this morning of the new station for the Blue Ridge road tills a long felt UOOd for thia city. Here is a railroad which has faith in Anderson and its future-a faith SQ strong that lt ls willing to put up a station for tho use of its passengers which will compare most favorably with any station In a city much larger than Anderson. Tho old station was built ahead of thc town a few years ago, and Anderson outgrew lt. Now with a confidence In tho future growth of thc city, the rail road lins built for tho next genera tion and thc next. It will bc a long lime before the new station will be too small, and if lt ever gets "out of date," wo shall bc surprised. What we would like to see now is :i station lor tho C. St W. C. in keep ing with this, and we believe that we shall soon seo it. In fnct it ls already started, and it will not be long till Anderson will havu two fine now pas senger stutions. Ono will remain to be built, and if our faith ls not mis placed it will not bo long till the Piedmont and Northern will establish terminal facilities and a passenger stat?o?v, equal to any in the city. An derson ia now the center of a splendid railroad development, and the remark has been made dozens of tintes recent ly: ''Tho Blue Ridge would not have put all tho money she has in fine now equipment am! in this handsome pas senger station, if shu had not intend ed to build on through to Knoxville, or extend her lines." We trust this will bc true. i SOME NEW MONEY. . Would r/ot the investment in labor in Anderson County of three quarters of a million of new and outside money be worth a great deal to the county th!* year? How many day's work for idle roon und teams would this rep resent? How many farmers would bc able to help out their income by do ing some work to earn a part ot this money? Would lt not be worth while to have this much new monoy in the county this year which everyone con cedes will be' a hard year? If this is true, then think well boforo casting your vote against thc proposed bond Issue for Anderson County. The cjty Ot Anderson will today vote for good Aire?is and the people of the county Mould have just as good roads as the r?ipie ot the etty. Both amounts. If : ??ted, will mean almost a million Jill lars ot new money to bo spent In jwndorson County to help out the cot ton crops and the grain crops of the county. Are you In favor u? this or not? Your vote on the 30th inst., will tell. Mesnwhile do your own thinking and vote as n true voter should, from reason nnd not from prejudice. MR. ft. D.

Tho press notice says: The popular American star, Flor ence Reed, makes ber firm appearance in motion pictures in the Famous Players Film Co's vivid and realistic film production of Henry Arthur Jones' celebrated drama. "The Danc ing Girl," the Paramount feature at Paramount theatre Today. Miss Reed's splendid emotional work in such great current dramas as "The Typhoon" and "Tho Yellow Ticket" stamp her as well adapted to the role of thc paradoxical and beautiful Drusilla, , Quaker lind dancing girl, demure lit tle village maiden, and notorious belle of London Bohemia. Living quietly in a little Quaker settlement on the Isle ot Endellino, with her sober father and timid little sister. Faith, Drusilla takes service in the household of one of the nobility, where she comes under the notice of the profligate Duke ot Guiseberry. Finding that the girl ls graceful as weil as beautiful, the Duko offers to pay for her dancing lessons, and make of her a professional dancer. After a struggle between her love of life and pleasure and her Qauker scruples, brasilia succumbs to temptation, and eventually becomes, without the knowledge of her stern old father, a notorious dancer and the favorite of the Duke. Wishing' again to see her home, ind the father she still loves, Drusilla again assumes the guise of a Quaker, and returns to the little village, where she is received in lov ing ignorance of what she has be come. Here John Christison, one ot the Quakers, falls ta love with her, and heedless of his breaking heart and of her sister's who loves hun. Drusilla gakiy flirts with. John, and 'leads him to believe she ls not Ind ti rent to him. The Duke visits the island, and John overhears an inter view between Drusilla and her pro tector, which shows him her true char acter.
