Transylvania County and Are
Encouraged by Our Vote.
"Ihe following timely editorial appeared in the columns o
the Greenville Daily News last Thursday morning, Aug. 4.
It shows that the action of our people was watched with in
tense interest by our neighbors across thie state line in South
Carolina:
TRANSYLVANIA BOND ISSUE.
Greenville Daily News, Aug. 4th.
Here at last, a road over the
mountains. Within two years the
cars will be running, that swarm
of summer tourists from the low
country for the mountains will
pass through- Greenville. Train
loads of coal from East Tennesee
will roll into Greenville, at half
the cost of carrying it now charg
ed, meaning cheaper manufact
uring facilities in Greenville and
the coming here of more manu
facturers. Train loads of grain
iroin the west will be rolling in
to Greenville, meaning cheaper
flour and easier living in the
town that is noted for the lowest
death rates of any town of any
size in America. Lower freight
rates, meaning more goods and
cheaper. Greater passenger-
carrying facilites and convenien
ces, meaning contact with more
of the busy world, all meaning
the greatest city in the mountain
foot South. Let Atlanta look to
her great horse sales; that rail
road will bring the stud farms of
Tennesee to Greenville's, very
doors, and farmers will find it
great, flourshing country ou the
east, aud another, even greater in
size and wealth on the west. A
great, strong, people', whom we
have hardly know, is to be our
neighbor, within a few hours
reach of us, and our streets will
be thronged with visitors who
have never known us, but who
will find this place the most con
venient point for trading, which
will mean many and many a new
store to supply the uew dfmund.
East Tennesee and Wtfsiterij
North Carolinians are to be our
next door neighbors, exchanging
their commodities for ours, and
that stream of trade and travel,
which in old days of stage
coach and freight wagon built
this town, is to be renewed on a
scale fifty times greater
To supply all this growth of
Greenville’s trade means a de
mand for more workers. More
houses must be b)iilt, and in the
next ten years there will be a
doubling of the size and popula
tion of this town. No longer will
Greenville be classed with over
grown villages; the Iplace will be
a city ranking with Atlanta,
Richmond, Memphis, etc. This
cheaper to buy their stock here
in Greenville than to go to Atlan- is promised, practically assured,
ta after it. Let High Point look by the news of the carrying of
to her furniture factories, for that election for a bond issue in
that railroad will open to the Transylvania for the building of
world through Greenville, the
great forests of hardwood of
Transylvania, and Greenville
will be the most convenient point
for furniture factories.
The town of Greenville is to
break her ancient bounds and
come into communication with a
new world. Like a man waking
from sleep, this place will find
herself, no longer hedged off in
the extreme western part of her
territory, but midway between a
the link connecting the railroad
from here in the direction of
Knoxville and the railroad in
this direction from Knoxville.
Let every man who owns an irich
of real estate in Greenville swing
to it and laugh at the calamity
howler who declared so voice-
foriously that the price of real
estate in Greenville is out of all
reason and feverishly and un
naturally high.
NOTES FROM A controversy has
NATIONAL arisen between th«
CAPITAL Virginia Railway
Company and its locomotive engineers
which, by agreement erf both parties^
has been referred to Chairman Knapp,
of the interstate commerce commis
sion, and Dr. Charles P. Neill, com
missioner of labor, as mediators uo-
der the Erdman act.
A proceeding has been instituted
before the District of Columbia j
preme ccmrt to compel the interstate
commerce commission to assume jnris-
diction over Alaska railway and tran»
alfairs of the Argentine Republic, was

• The government’s rigorous measure
and the formal renunciation by the
clerical junta of the threatened dem
onstration in tiis city insured com*
parative tranquility Sunday and a
largely attended bull fight was tTie
chief incident of the day.
From daybreak the streets were
patrolled by caValry and gendarmes,
while heavy b(Mies of troops were
held in readineniff" in the barracks at
Miramar Palac^, where the queen
mother and the ’^rtoyal children are in
residence.
The greatest Incident occured last
evening when^ groups of clericals as
sembled, shouti^:
“Death to S{!to»7^1ong live the
Pope!”
Thousands of jUidigpant people rush
ed towiu*ds the i^anifestants and only
the personal intervention of the gov-
erncfr, at the head of a platoon of po
lice, prevented an attack. Nearly one
hundre(!( and fifty arrests were made.
Many amusing scenes *were wUness-
ed. Priests leading trudging bands
of peasants took to their heels when
they found the City in the hands of
the military. Tl^e peasants, all their
courage gone, were d^isarmed and ea
sily persuaded to. r'tetarn to their
homes. In some cases the soldiers
were compelled to supply with fcrod
the poor people who had come Into
the city to rail at the government.
Th^ local authorities are convinced
that the clerical demonstration mark
ed a Carlist plot. Clericals are ex
tremely indignant at the government’s
repressive measures. Senor tirguijo
the chief organizer of the movement,
declared that the purpose of the man
ifestation was peaceful.

Railroad Project Proposed by Newman
Erb and Associates.
According to the terms of the re
organization of the Chattanooga South
ern railroad, the control of which has
been acquired by Newman Erb and as
sociates, extensive improvements are
projected that will give Chattanooga
a short and direct line to Atlanta.
It is said an arrangement has been
completed by Mr. Erb in connection
with the Rome and Northern railroad,
that includes the ccmstruction of a
connection between the two roads, giv
ing the Chattanooga Southern track
age to Rome, Ga. An extension will
also to be built to connect with tho
Seaboard Air Line, that will form the
link between Chattanooga and Atlanti^.
The reorganization of the road has
been eeffcted with Mr. Erb, president;
Henry W. Deforest, vice-president, and
F. R. Blanchard, secretary and treas
urer. W. M. Madden and I. M. Ditten-
hoefer have been elected members of
the directorate.

CASUALTIES. Montrelle, failing to
see the approach of a passenger train,
wheeled the baby carriage containing
her twin sons, 1 year old, on the track
in front of it, was unable to snatch it
back, and saw the carriage and her
babies hurled in the air. When she
reached them, one of the twins, Guido,
was playing gleefully in the sand, but
the other, Joseph, was dead. The ac
cident occurred 10 miles east of Ham
mond, Ind., and the train was the
Erie Flyer.

Tv.^ Men Killed at Gray’s Station, a
Few Milts From Macon.
Two men, S. E. Etheridge, and his
brother Tom, were shot dead in their
tracks Grays Station, 20 miles
from Macon, in a feud fight with the
Morton brothers. Will, Sam, Luther
and Tom. The feud had been smolder
ing several days. Ten days ago, it
is claimed by the Etheridge faction.
Will Morten enticed a negro from the
farm of Steve Etheridge to his, Mor
ton’s place. A week ago they met on
the street here and following an ar
gument, Morton fired three times at
Etheridge, but failed to injure him.
No case was made out against the
former. Friday the two Etheridges,
accompanied by Clintcn Kltchins,
rode up to the Morton store to bring
matters to a conclusion. Will Morton
agreed to fight Kitchins With his fists.
They got together and Morton called
out that he was whipped. Then the
claim is that Luther Morton fired with
his shot gun, killing Steve Etheridge.
The latter’s face was blown away.
Some one, supposedly from an up
stairs window, fired three times at
Morris Etheridge, with a revolver,
bullets passing through his stomach,
mouth and heart.
Sheriff Brooks rushed his four pris
oners, who submitted to arrest peace
ably, declaring that they had warned
the Etheridges to keep aWay, to the
home of their naother. He then
slipped them out to Clinton, where
he has them in hiding, refusing to di
vulge their whereabouts.
The trouble occurred dnring a re-
Dnion of Confederate veterans, the
most peaceful and fraternal of the
present day celebrations.
The locality is very much excited
over the occurrence and it is reported
that troops have been sent to the
scene to prevent trouble.
