(he~ gasle$g ezssenger. A. W. HUDGENS, Editor J. R. HAGOOD, EASLEY, S. C., NOV. 9, 18S3." C C. G. & O. IL "The Greenville News" of a recent date says: "Some citizens of Edge field village are beginning to protest vigorously against paying the tax for the Carolina Cumberland Gap and Chi cago Railroad, and declaring their be lief that it will never be built." This we believe to be an unwise step. Our friends of Edgefield should. remember that "Rome was not built in a day," and furthermore oftentimes an enor mous amount of brain work, combined with a like quantity of muscular force are employed.in order to bring about a certain result. Comparatively speak ing, this is a new enterprise, and one of mo'small consequence. It should be nurtured in the heart of every sound thinking man, whose interests it may likely affect. Day and night they should lend their efforts to an enterprise,one of the grandest that South Carolina ever put on foot and which we are proud to say has for its birth-place the ever pro gressing County of Pickens. All honor to the noble few in whose hearts this grand enterprise was sprung, and in whose hands it has received so much fostering care. Time, Talent and Money have all been employed for the accomplishment of this prodig ious end. Energy, either mental or physical, is bound to be conserved, and one day yet, perhaps not in the distant future, we will see it transformed into the most magnificent results that our beloved old State could well wish for. Friends of Edgefleld, "grow not weary of well doing;'' fy not off' at a tan gent, but keep abreast with the people of Pickens, Anderson and Aiken in their march after increasling prosperity. Pay your taxes, large or small, so that you, or your childlren after you, may be enabled to enjoy the rich fruits which a safe investment of your money brings. Now one word to the citizens of our o)wn County. On the 15th of the pres enit month there is to be a meeting of the Directors of the Roadl at Aiken. Before that board some of our inftluen tial men have already appearedl. TJhe wants of the people have been imade known to them. But, notwithstand ing this, a further impressive knowl edge of our wants shIould be given them. Our neighboring city is likely going to make another diesp.erate efkbrt to secure the deflection of the Road. Should we sit here idle, with arms fold ed, and see the defiction mnade after so mnuch has been done and said about it? %After' all, shafll we become) an) insignill t'ant wayside s tatlion, Or occuply, per. hlaps, the positioum of a mere jiunction), ai fler this County was thle first to initiate lhe nhovenment of this grand Railroad schenme ? Cannot Pickens assumei a loftier spirit of indlependlence? ILet not cournge fail us in the hour of ex i reme anxiety ! March holdlly to the front, and standl fortifiedl against the army who are so str'ongly contending TUESDAY'S ELECT., YitP ch 46f a gar of afd A ate wIre elected. Latest indications ake that tho'State wentDeniocratic by about 26,000 raajo'ity. Ma hone roethods are condemned.
