News Bureau, Columbia, Jan. 1G. The reading of a message from the governor containing a vitrolic and caustic attack on Senator Tillman, the press and former Governor John Gary Evans was the first matter before fhje Senate this morning. During the reading Ot the message Senator Nicholson of Senator Tillman's own county of Edgefield gave notice that at the proper time he was going to ask the Scnute to have printed in its journal a statement from Sen ator Tillman. With this exception the reading of the message was received in silence. The Senate adopted the Sullivan resolution ordering the Todd model removed from the rotunda and sept it to the House. The jm.Ucihry committee returned a favorable report on S?Miator Carlisle's bill giving the foreman of a grand jury the right to swear witnesses. A bill introduced in the Senate this morning by Senator Nicholson provides for the new enrollment in all clubs six months preceding the date for the time of the meeting of the clubs to elect delegates to the county conventions, and orders that a cer uiieu copy ot an ciuu rous lie Hied with the clerk of court thirty days preceding the first primary and be kept as a permanent record of his office. The senate marked time until 1 o'clock when it repaired to the house to canvass the election returns following which it adjourned to meet tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. The Nicholson Hill.

(Tuesday's Spartanburg Herald) With the view of changing the route of the Southern railroad from Tryon to Saluda in order to avoid the heavy grade from "Melrose to Saluda, the officiate of the road are having new route surveyed, the work having begun January 1. A corps of engineers are now camped at Melrose and are working towards Try011. The Proposed Route. The proposed new route of the i went i una aciuss me mountains to the left hand side of the road between Tryon and Saluda. It is believed that this new route will give a much lower grade and, if constructed, will eliminate the use of the "helper", an engine that it hitched to every train at Melrose to help it ever the mountain to Saluda. A single engine, it is said, will be all that will be necessary to carry a train from Tryan to Saluda. Not only will the "help?r" be done away with, but it will not 36 necessary io maintain the safety switches which are used every few hundred feet on Sulllda mountain, freight trains in coming down the steep mountain incline find use for these switches almost daily and by their use many serious wrecks have neen avoided. Present Route Costly. The maintenance of the safety tracks and the use of the helping engine, it is said, costs the Southern road about $2,500 per month, to jay nothing of the wear and tear onNj&c engine ana ine rails. Watchmet^aw always on duty at the safety switches, a crew of several men employed on the road between Melrose iind Saluda, keeping the road-bed in repairs, the cost of which is a heavy drain on the road. It is believed that if the road is relocated a grade can be secured which will <io away with the "helper" and the safety tracks and that it will prove a big saving to the railroad company. While the initial cost may lie considerable the officials of the road are of the opinion that it will pay for itself within a few years. t * I n a - rn_i? i .iiumitT ivuuii' i aiKi'ti UI. The engineers who are at work on the line for the proposed change in the load between Tryon and Saluda started to work at Saluda on January 1, and have reached a point near Melrose, a distance of three miles from Saluda, and it is expected that the work will be completed within the next two weeks. When this route is completed the engineers may be instructed to make a survey of a route on the right hand side of the railroad to Saluda, cutting around by Tryon mountain and through a valley to Saluda. This route it is said, will ufiord a perfect grade, but will be considerably longer than the route now being surveyed on the left side of the road.

ATTENTION, SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS. Lets' get ready for the State convention. We want to send in a complete statistical report and we c^n't do that unless the township officers and Sunday School superintendents assist the county secretary. We are already a banner county and it is our aim this year to become a Front Line county. In order to do so, we will have to come up to the following standard: 1. Annual County Convention. 2. An Anniml ('nnuontinn J.-. township. 3. A comnletc statistical report sent to the state office. 4. County pledge to State Association paid. 5. County represented in State Convention. G. Fifty per Cent of Schools having cradle rolls. 7. Thirty per cent having home departments. 8. Twenty per cent having Teacher Training classes. This is not a very hard standard to ^y-xeh. Examine your own School and townships and qualify at once, Let those township presidents whose townships have not already held conventions, call one at the earliest oossible moment. Lets everybody get busy. This has been a great year indus LiiuiiN , lut b matte it great irom tne standpoint of the Sunday School. P. M. Ellerbe, County President. One on Joe Sparks. The (iaffney Ledger says this: "Joe Sparks was up in the Piedmont section last week and all the police kept an eye on him because of his swell overcoat. They did not know Joe was a newspaper man.
