THE OLD BLUE RIDGE ROUTE. lt Begin» to Leek as Though the Work will ho Pushed Through. Io railroad circles the possibility 'it the bu i hi ¡UK of the railroad from Knoxville to Walhalla bas been changed to a decided probability. Mr. A. G. Fretwell, who is carrying on a considerable amount of railroad work in Alabama, is in Walhalla for a few days thia week, and he says that while there is very llttlo being said by the projectors there is a lot of work being done. " The company bas a largo office open at Knoxville/' ho said, "and they have a heavy force working every day on the surveys and other preliminary matters. It is well kdown that this work is going o'» constantly, and the fact that little is being said makes it look as though the project 01 » mean business. It is rumored, too, that contracts for building some sections of the roadway have.already been awarded. The soborne contemplates the building of the road over practically the same route outliued by the original Blue Ridgo survey from Knoxville to Anderson.1' It is to be hoped tbat this for years much-talked-of railroad sóbeme is to bo transformed into a reality soon. Tho sect ion of count ry io be traversed is ono of untold wealth, possessing as it does wonderful resources in minerals, timber, water-power and agriculture, which need but the impetus ot capital and railroad facilities to bring thom into aotivity and Erominonce. The opening of this new ighwav of commerce through the very heart of the Blue Ridge will mean muon in the way of materially developing a large portion of Oconee county, as woll as similar sections in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee.

Many varied and exaggerated reporta concerning "The Reigu of Law" in Wal¬ halla in tho matter of vaccination have gained currency. It is reported that, people coming to town on business aro» waylaid at tho town limits by policemen*' ana physicians, and bound, gagged); and vacoinated by force, lt is even asserted by somo that tho ofijizens of the town have funned themselves into a vigilance committee, mounted on bucking bron- ooes, and, lasso in band, rido th tho out¬ skirts of town, and'with tho oxportuees of a Texas cowboy, drop a lasso over tho head of anybody who daros to approach tho Bacied spot of water-soaked earth known as Walhalla, ovor wbioh tbe Board of Uoalth reigua auprorao. Tho reports aro exaggerated to some extent. In a few cases, where pooplo are known to bo .exposed to the disoase, or in a section of town whore suspeoted cases of smallpox exist, oome parties have been givon tboir ohoice botweon being vaccinated or paying a fine of $20 and confinement until the disease is abated. As a matter of fact, there is very little danger of any genoral spread of tho disease now. In various parts of tho county tho disease exists: henee, it was thought best to have Judge Purdy adjourn Court a few days before he con¬ vened it, as there would be a decided probability of people from infected auc¬ tions coming iu and spreading the dis¬ ease further than it is now. There are no now cases in Walhalla, and tbose alroady reported aro getting along nicely. Vaccination is a preventive, and the Board of Health nae acted wisely in making a local law enforoing it. But| tho Board of Health is ueither arbitrary nor foolishly exacting in its require¬ ments, and pooplo from out of town need have no fear of being handled roughly or even vaccinated unless they request it, unlo88 there is a worse condition con¬ fronts the town than at present. If «ur friouds of the surrounding country have tho smallpox, tboir absence from town will bo appreciated if they haven't got it, they will be gladly welcomed to Wal¬ halla, tho town that bas suffloient back¬ bone to say "Thou Shalt" if occasion requires.

THE OLD BLUE RIDGE ROUTE.
lt Begin» to Leek as Though the Work willho Pushed Through.
Io railroad circles the possibility 'it thebu i hi ¡UK of the railroad from Knoxvilleto Walhalla bas been changed to a decidedprobability. Mr. A. G. Fretwell, who iscarrying on a considerable amount ofrailroad work in Alabama, is in Walhallafor a few days thia week, and he saysthat while there is very llttlo being saidby the projectors there is a lot of workbeing done.
" The company bas a largo office openat Knoxville/' ho said, "and they have aheavy force working every day on thesurveys and other preliminary matters.It is well kdown that this work is goingo'» constantly, and the fact that little isbeing said makes it look as though theproject 01 » mean business. It is rumored,too, that contracts for building somesections of the roadway have.alreadybeen awarded. The soborne contemplatesthe building of the road over practicallythe same route outliued by the originalBlue Ridgo survey from Knoxville toAnderson.1'
It is to be hoped tbat this for yearsmuch-talked-of railroad sóbeme is to botransformed into a reality soon. Thosect ion of count ry io be traversed is onoof untold wealth, possessing as it doeswonderful resources in minerals, timber,water-power and agriculture, which needbut the impetus ot capital and railroadfacilities to bring thom into aotivity and
Erominonce. The opening of this newighwav of commerce through the veryheart of the Blue Ridge will mean muon
in the way of materially developing alarge portion of Oconee county, as wollas similar sections in Georgia, NorthCarolina and Tennessee.

A publicroad ovorseer is autboritt-o and requiredto enter any lands adjoining or lyingnear tbe raid to'make such drains orditches tb. ough. the same as he maydeem necessary for the bonofit ot theroads, doing as little injury to said laudsand improvements thereon^and timber,as tho nature of tbe oase abd the publioÎood will permit; 'and the drains anditohes so made shall be kept open by
Buch overseer, and shah not be obstructedby tbe ownor of the land or any personhaving it in charge. Act of the Legisla¬ture approved February 20th, 1002. Itshould be remembered that ditches andterraces should be.so constructed as toconvey tho water away from rather thaninto tho publio roads.

SLIGHTLY EXAGGERATED.
Somo Reports as to Enforcing the Local]Law of Vaccination.
Many varied and exaggerated reportaconcerning "The Reigu of Law" in Wal¬halla in tho matter of vaccination havegained currency. It is reported that,people coming to town on business aro»waylaid at tho town limits by policemen*'ana physicians, and bound, gagged); andvacoinated by force, lt is even assertedby somo that tho ofijizens of the townhave funned themselves into a vigilancecommittee, mounted on bucking bron-ooes, and, lasso in band, rido th tho out¬skirts of town, and'with tho oxportueesof a Texas cowboy, drop a lasso over thohead of anybody who daros to approachtho Bacied spot of water-soaked earthknown as Walhalla, ovor wbioh tbeBoard of Uoalth reigua auprorao.Tho reports aro exaggerated to some
extent. In a few cases, where pooplo areknown to bo .exposed to the disoase, orin a section of town whore suspeotedcases of smallpox exist, oome partieshave been givon tboir ohoice botweonbeing vaccinated or paying a fine of $20and confinement until the disease isabated. As a matter of fact, there isvery little danger of any genoral spreadof tho disease now. In various parts oftho county tho disease exists: henee, itwas thought best to have Judge Purdyadjourn Court a few days before he con¬vened it, as there would be a decidedprobability of people from infected auc¬tions coming iu and spreading the dis¬ease further than it is now. There areno now cases in Walhalla, and tbosealroady reported aro getting along nicely.Vaccination is a preventive, and theBoard of Health nae acted wisely inmaking a local law enforoing it. But|tho Board of Health is ueither arbitrarynor foolishly exacting in its require¬ments, and pooplo from out of town needhave no fear of being handled roughlyor even vaccinated unless they requestit, unlo88 there is a worse condition con¬fronts the town than at present. If «urfriouds of the surrounding country havetho smallpox, tboir absence from townwill bo appreciated if they haven't gotit, they will be gladly welcomed to Wal¬halla, tho town that bas suffloient back¬bone to say "Thou Shalt" if occasionrequires.
