OUR TROLLY LINE.
Will Pickens County Also Put He
Shoulder Jo The Vheel?
(Pickens Sentinel.)
A company has been organized
North Carolina to construct a trolly line
f mm Asheville throueh Henderson and
Rutherford counties to Tryon in Po
county with a branch to Gaffney, S
W. A. Smith, a leading lawyer and
promoter, of Heudersonviile, is president
and F, M. Stearnes, a wealthy capita
list from Cleveland, Ohio, is vice presi
dent of the company, and as 10 per cent
of the stock is paid m, the road is an as
sured fact.
There is also a movement on foot
build a road from Easley to Anderson
S. C. Bt connecting these two roads
with a line from Tryon to Pickens and
nsine the Pickens railroad to liasley
would be the finest trolley line system
iti the Southern States. .
I could not fail to be a paying invest
ment as it would shorten by many miles
the distance from Florida and the bouth
to Asheville, the Sapphire country and
all the resorts of the mountain country
avoidinc the heavy grade of Saluda
As feeders it would liave railroad eon
nections at Asheville, Hendereonville,
Tryon. Easley and Anderson. Travere
ine the Piedmont and Thermal belts
would develop the finest fruit growing
sections of the Uarohnas. JMunons
feet of virgin timber line the route while
magnificent water powers are wasting
their energies at Broad river, ween riv
er, Shnnkewauger, Big and Little Ti
i?ATH. Saluda. Twelve Mile and other
streams.
It touches a large number of thriving
little towns and villages in the richest
sections of the two States. It brings the
manufacturing towns of the South in
touch with the agricultural and fruit
growing sections of the mountains and
as a scenic route it would be unequalled
aaco grander scenery can be found east
TI,the rtocKies tnan ummney kock ana
Hickory nut Crap. :
Pick ens county ;would be benefited to
a greater extent than any other along
the proposed line as it would give thia
conntv easy communication .North
"South, East and West and, bring thou
sands of visitors within her borders
many of whom would become perma
nent citizens, it would bring capital here
to develop-the power wasted in our
streams, it would bring manufacturing
enterprises" here to use theraw material
that is lying within easy reach, it would
brine the fruit grower and the stock
raiser to develop the virgin fields and
barren hillsides into rich, fertile and
magnificent orchards and farms ; it
would bring the health seeker who would
develop nature's sanitarium to its high
est degree; and manufacturing enter
prises, dwellings and hotels ; would dot
this God-favored land of the Piedmont
belt. " '
By all means let's try to bring the line
to Pickens.

CROPS BEING DAMAGED.
Catawba River Is On A Rampage
Reports From Other Sections.
The Catawba river is on a rampage
and the farmers who have their crops on
the bottom lands are in constant dread
of a big overflow.
Mr. C. P. Brown, who lives in Steele
Creek, telephoned The News this morn
ing that the river is twelve feet above
the usual water mark at this season of
the year and is rising rapidly. Mr.
Brown also states that the lowlands are
now flooded and unless the waters sub
side great damage will be done to the
corn and cotton crops.
In other sections of Mecklenburg tra
versed by the Catawba river the same is
true.
The river commenced rising Tuesday
morning and the waters have continued
to deepen every hour.
A telephone message from Belmont
states that the river is higher now than
it has been at this season for many years.
In many places the waters have over
flowed the banks of the stream and
considerable damage has already been
j .
uuue. -
The same report comes from Fort
Mill. The river at the railroad bridge
is higher than for years and the bottom
lands are inundated to the depth of from
three to four feet. The corn crop will
be badly damaged, to what extent can
not be determined as yet.
The same reports come from other
sections, especially from Gastonia, where
the high water lias done considerable
damage to both corn and cotton.
While it is no unusual occurance for
the river to be high at this season of the
year, it is an unusual happening for it
co oe as nign as it is to-aay. -uast year
at this time the water was low er in the
Catawba than for years. In many places
one could cross on the stones.
A telephone message this afternoon
states that the river is still rising at Fort
Mill and great damage is being done to
the growing crops. Charlotte News.
Every
Every pain in the breast, dif
ficult breathing-, palpitation, '
fluttering or dizzy spell means
that your heart is straining it
self in its effort to keep in
motion. This is dangerous.
Some sudden strain from over
exertion or excitement will
completely exhaust the nerves,1
or rupture the walls or arteries
of the heart, and it will stop.
Relieve this terrible strain at
once with Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure. It invigorates and
strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, stimulates the
heart action, and relieves the '
pain and misery.
Take no chances ; make your
heart strong and vigorous with
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
"I suffered terribly with heart dis
ease. I have been treated by :
different physicians for my trouble
without results. I went to a physi
cian in Memphis, who claimed that
I had dropsy of the heart. He put
the X-ray on me, and in connection
with his medicine he came near mak- '
ing a finish of me. Some time before
this a Mr. Tounff, of St. Louis, was
in our town. He saw my condition,
and recommended Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure to me. I gave it little attention
until my return from Memphis, when
I concluded to try it, and am pleased
to say three bottles cured me.
