Edors : While keeping steadily in view the reat heienfits to be received by this railroad ats a whole, lot us for 1 the present consider the cost, and I how we can build only the first C link-that which is to us the most important as insuring immediate a and certain return for the moans h e.xpended upon it-viz., the line ti between Chester and Winnsboro. ilThe distanco betweon those points o by the C. C. & A. R. R. is twenty- c seven miles. From my knowledge of the country and of the C. C. & A. R. R., I am quite sure that this s narrow-gaugo road can be built S with a length not exceeding twenty six miles, and probably less. The 1maximum grade of the C. C. & A. I. 1t. being only 52 and 8-10 feet per mile, it was necessary to keep the line upon the ridge, or as near to it as possible ; and this involved in several places very serious loss t of distance. With a grade of 105 t, feet per mile, our narrow-gaugo C road can leave the "divide" and cut off those long detours. We can safely, then, estimato for only twonty.-six miles of line. The Chester and Lenoir N. G. I. It. has cost $6,000 per mile, including equipment. But I learn c by an inspection of this road that there is very little really light grad ing upon it, and a large proportion of quite heavy work. There is one b-)ridg-c that cost nearly $2,000, and ,,it is approached by a trestle fifty feet high and four hundred feet long. There are at least three other beavy trestles. I am inform, od that the entire work was lot by E contract, at a time when labor was certainly twice as dear as it is now; and the iron cost just about double its present price. Of course spikes, fish-joints, bolts, cross-ties, etc. are all proportionately cheaper now. Locomotives, cars and every kind of equipment are unprecedentedly cheap. Again, the very limited grade of the C. C. & A. R. R. in volved heavy work at several points. The greater latitude, both as to gradient and curvature, practicable upon narrow-gauge roads will enable us to avoid all this expensive work, and build alnost a surface line. There will not be a single bridgo or trestle, excepting a few mere wvatersways in ease we leave the ridge to save distance. We see, then, that the cost per mile of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad is not a fair criterion by whichi to estimate Ours. It is per- I fectly safe to say that we can build and equip our r'oad for between $4,000 and $4,500 per mile, the latter being in all probability the I ma.rimu)f figure. Twventy--six miles, then, would cost from $104,- I 000 to $117,000, complete, with 1 such i oiling stock as would do all. I the business of so short a line. But, Me1ssrs. Editors, it has 1 occurred to me that if we build the I road, we can easily make an arrange ment with the Chester and Lenoiri Railroad Company to oper'ate it for I us upon very favorable terms, and thuns we could save, at least for the prlesent, the heavy outlay for equip ment. Thlat company could operate I this additional distance without at I 'all increasing their outfit, and, in I consideration of the groat benefit i derived from so important a feeder, I could affo)rd to (10 so at nominale rates. As we extend tihe road ( southward, and begin to' assume I the proportions of a through line, t we can by purchasing gradually out - of our earnings the necessary roll-, a ing stock, operate it ourselves as s the "Chester and Georgetown Rail- a road." Of course, if we can raise I. the money it will be true economy t to buy engines and equipments at 9J the present extremely low prices ; I but I mention the above plan to g showv that we can devote our entire energies to building the road /irse, with a reasonablo prospect of 12 having it worked for us by a tom- I< pany which is now well versed in t the management of the narrow- 1 gaugo railroad, and wvhose interosts a re identical with ours. Looking, hen, to the simplo construction f the railroad, we can safely 'assume hat $104,000 is the amount to be rovided between Chester and Vinnsboro. Lot mo say, Mossrs. *0Eitors, in oncluding this letter, that it is not ly intention to ignore our- enter, rising sistor town Qf Ridgeway. Enowing full well that she will artainly insist upon having "a lace in the picture," I have con idored well the probable. line, and in convinced that the grad,ing onceo to Ridgeway will be even ghter por mile than that to' choi r. The ridge is so very ;smooth hat the C. C. & A. R. R. 'with its x.coptionally easy grade, shows ex Lodingly light work; and oven hi can be greatly lessened by our iora accommodating gradn and urvature. If, then, Ridgeway in ists on being counted in, we must imply add to our estimate $48,000 )r the twelve milos lying between s, and the problem to be solved tands thus: 'rom Chester to Winnsboro, say...............$104,000. 'rom Chestor to Ridgeway, say............. $152,000. I invito our citizens to study beso figures ; not to be scared by hen, but rathor to preparo to me.et 4en ; and thus secure the in stimable blossings that earnest'and tnited effort will certainly deserve,. nd must assuredly win.
