SURVEY TROLLEY 1 LINE TO LAURENS Party Left Greenville Last Wednesday. ALL-STATE TROLLEY LIME Possible L'xicnsioil of Lino to Colum bia and Lower Sostlon of state. Taking In Kutlrc stale. For Iho purpose ol* making a pre liminary survey of the route of the Greenville. Spartnnhurg nnd Ander son Railway between Greenville and' Laurens and Clinton, a surveying par ty of fourteen left Contestee yesterday about seven miles below Greenville on the Reedy River road. The sur vey is being made by .Mr. .1. E. Sir rlne, a mill architect and engineer of this city. It was announced by the officers of the company some time ago that the surv< v to Laurens and Clinton would begin at once, but for some reason the work has been delayed and the party did not Met out until yesterday. The line had already been surveyed to Coutesteo, and it was there taken up by Mr. Sirrine's party and will be pushed on to an early completion. The regular surveying party, which has been doing this woi k since the surveys of* the roads was first begun, are busy at other points at this time, and for this rea son, Mr. Sirrino was given the con tract for the survey, The survey is only a preliminary ? me. and does not mean that the line will be built to Laurens. Many believe, however, that this will be among the Hl'?l branch lines con structed by the <;. S. and A. people. The survey is being made to get an estimate of the cost of running the line. The people along this route, and especially those at Laurens. have la ken the greatest interest in the new line, and have warmly evpressed their desires to get a connection with this trolley line through Cue Piedmont. Among the mote material expressions of this desire, is the action of the Watts Mills, at Laurens, which has made a conditional stock subscrip tion of twenty-live cents per spindle, aggregating $10,800, contingent upon the construction of the line to Lau rens and to the Watts mill, in order I to see if the line can be built and at 1 what cost, the preliminary survey is now being made. Slate to Slate Syst?. In connection With the survey, and possible construction of the line to j Laurens. there are some Interesting points of speculation .which appear to render it probable that the Inter urban trolley branch to Laurens will be among the first constructed. There is in construction now. in North Carolina, the Piedmont Trac tion company, backed by the same financial interests, essentially, as the C. S. & A. Of this line, .Mr. YV. S. Lee, vice president of the Southern Tower company, and Mr. J. P. Clark is general manager, which latter gentleman also holds the same office with regard to the South Carolina line. This twin-sister of the South Carolina line lias progressed further than the G. S. & A. a contract for construction having already been let. That line will connect a number of the principal cities of the Pied mont section of North Carolina, ami from Charlotte, will reach down to Spartanbtirg, at which point it will connect with the Greenville, Spar tanburg and Anderson railway. When this junction lias been attained, the two roads will probably be consoli dated, or may operate together, un der their old corporate names. This will give a trolley system con j nectliig the most Importnhl industrial sections of the Carolina Piedmont belt. With the Laurens ami Clinton branch, however, those who have ta ken a comprehensive survey of the entire movement see indications of a rather sensational turn of the trol ley connections, From Clinton, the construction of a line down to Co lumbia, the capital of tin- Slate, would be a most natural course to pursue, and from Columbia, there would be no good reason Why branches should not eventually be constructed connecting the cities of lower Carolina, and eventually reach ing Charleston. This WOUld give nil electric rail way line connecting the principal cities of South Carolina, and passing through Greenville Into North Caro lina, and would practically spread a net work of trolley lines all over South Carolina, operated by power from the Great Falls and other plants of the Southern Power company. 'Phis would afford material competi tion to the steam operated roads, which now operate between the tip and the low country, and affording School With the opening of the city and county schools we are prepared to meet your needs for the school room.

No stirring or watching; when "breakfast time" comes it will be perfectly cooked, savory, full of all its nutriment (much of which is lost when cook ed the ordinary way) and hot, ready to serve. Properly prepared cereals are just as essential for "grown ups" as for children, All food for the table can be cooked in the "Caloric" Cookstove far superior to any other method and with a great saving of fuel, time and work. In the "Caloric" you can bake and roast food in its raw state without first partially cooking on an ordinary stove or without re-heating it before serving, as well as steaming, stewing, boiling, etc. A booklet free, lull of infor mation, prices and illustra tions.

It will be remem bered, ttiitt several mills along tIii*> road, including the Pelzer and Wll I lams toil cotton mills, have made a subscription of twenly-tive tents per spindle to the stock of the railway. Private individuals, also have made some st<icl-c subscriptions, and it is believed that it will be only a few days before the announcement will be made that the Contract has been let for line construction between Greenville and Helton.
