Jackson, County Superintendent, i! ii THE TWO PROJECTED RAILROADS, jj The Cost of lixtllding them?Their Value j to the County. > To the Editor of the News and Herald: 1 "We have charters fox* two railroads ? through Fail-field County which if; built will be of inestimable benefit to i ns in dollars and cents and in many other ways. These roads will run \ about ninety miles through the county jj and to build them S~20,000, or $8,000 j per mile, must be spent by the capita-; lists who will undertake the job. \ This much value will be at once brought into the county by the build-1 ang of the "Wadesboro, Winnsboro and \ Camak Kailroad and the Fish dam, [ Winnsboro and Camden Railroad. \ f Within lines parallel to these roads and c three miles distant, there will be about i 350.000 acres of land, being two-thirds of the entire county. These lands, the i average selling price, of which is three j dollars an acre or less though in pro<1 active capacity they are superior to \ lands which in other counties sell at ? from ten to twenty dollars an acre, will be doubled invahic. The remain- j ing 160.000 acres in the county will cer- i tainly he increased fifty per cent in f selling value. The immediate additional wealth brought into Fairfield \ County by the building of the rail- j roads from Catawba Falls to Alston and from Shelton to the Kershaw line in direction of Camden will be $720, 000 expended in building the roads and at least $1,200,000 increased value of real estate, making $1,920,000 or more than the present assessed value of all the real estate in the county. Other benefits will flow in as time advances. Manufacturing and mineral resources will be developed and Fair-1 field County will again resume her place as one of the richest counties in the State. To accomplish this result it will be necessary for the county to issue bonds to the amount of about $3,000 per mile, or $270,000 for 90 miles to be paid in twenty years. For this the county will reeeive" in prompt cash $192,000 "and before the bonds fall due probably {wo or three millions more of wealth will flow in. Have the people of Fairfield County the intelligence? Have they the patriotism? Have they the regard for their own welfare to seize the opportunity and secure these railroads? What does it matter if a man who now pays twenty dollars tax will have to pay five dollars additional when his property will be increased at least 50 per cent on its selling value and when the sale" of a fow acres; which now are of no value to anybody will enable him to raise money enough to pay his taxes for ten years."

A. Stewart. The supper was given for the benefit of the Longtown string band, and was quite a success, the supper was furnished and served by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stewart. Miss Moz")l Wvlie, of East Wateree, was the recipient of a $8 cake for the most popular young lady. The amount realized from the supper exceeded $35. All the 'beauty *nd ehivalrv" of the neighborhood were present. As it would take so j much space I will not undertake to i i mention of whom the "beauty" consisted as there were many. After supper was over various games were plau'd, which consisted of "stetJ partner#." and "going to Unleigh" and "rabbit in the pinder patch" in.] "big Ike," and darning was indulged in. All present seemed to uijoy ihetn-j selves very much, a> d they parted j only after having made the resolution ; of hiving another one in the near future. On November 20, Children's Day at ! Concord Church, there was a missionary festival, and an ?ddre>s by Rev. J. A. Wilson on foreign missions. After the address a colleciion was taken up for foreign missions. After the collection Rev. W. II. Ilardin offered a prayer for God's blessing on the collection. The picnic was gotten up by the Longtown and Ridgewav Presbyterian Churches, for the benefit of the children.

The attitude of ; tiuis uigii unary was suraeming " unique, he popped himself in the chair, jj fflujig bwieet on the table, pulled his Jj, whiskery,. balanced himself, leaned for- Ij ward ai an augle of lifty-five degrees, p -exactly as one would imagine a huge ; painted doll impelled by some secret fj spring would do, he rapped three i times on the table and announced that jthe meeting was in .-ession and ready i :ibr business. lie then arose audi opened a pair of ponderous jaws, If which reminded us more of a \ellow 9 * immitation alligator skin gtip sack . than anything we could think of just then. lie then explained the object j of the meeting in a voice that seemed }> to come from the bung hole of an j: empty cask. He said a great deal ,but jj' anothing worth recording. Finally he !; wound up, by saving "well, it 1$ a ? very sad occasion that has brought us jj together to-night so i think ue had!; better adjourn frura labor to refresh- \ auents after our severe toil." Vv'e !iced j; not say that this gentle hint from the chair met with unanimous approval by all after their great labor. While the jj assembly were refreshing themselves j after their great fatigues, we went on 1. an investigating tour. The first thing j ^ we foucd was something under the ] 1 ^ table that looked very much like a ^ coop of chicken*, then another; a little more industry 011 our part revealed < what we took to be one ot those large ] glass acquarians which are sometimes seen in show windows, but what puz- 1 zled us was the ladle on it. We lifted 1 the cover, aud all was revealed, for * there arose a sweet perfume that was ^ very grateful to our senses. We looked i around and we saw the "phys" of the Prosecuting Attorney undergoing a ^ complete transformation. His grim vis- * age smoothed its wrinkle front as the ^ delicate oder smote him. The play of 8 eTnr(i?;Snn r>n flip vpuprahlft President's ^ "i" <j face was truly remarkable, for it . ranged from the savage grin of an h Indian on the war path to the gentle ^ smile of a lover when thinking of his girl. We gave no token, bnt said\a fi within ourselves if this is your ticket , t we can fight it out on this line if it 1 takes all night. At this point the 0 Judge Advocate rose with three or four yards of dirty paper, and began n reading in a voicc and with a manner e t that would beggar description. He would have done credit to the fellow 0 who Tom Mackey said could strut s' sitting down. The following1 is the treat he gave the meeting: As in the beginning Mother Eve, by ? her temptation of Adam, brought the " curse of sin into the world; so has it u pleased one of her daughters to tempt C( the Right Rev. Chaplain of this Union jj to his utter undoing. And as she has lit upon him 4iwith the two-edged sword of her wrath and smote him hip and thigh"; and like Delilah, took advantage of his unwearv to clip the L war lock f-oin his brow, and thus rendered our Sampson :i pigmy. She cist the spell _QLher witchery over 0 him and his dulI~ear"TaTrecl warnings of his brothers, and he * listened to the songs of the Siren until he has been transformed into a beast, tl Like his prototype, "the prodigal", he n is about to leave his mother's house . and make his home among strangers. Lie came to ns an hungered and we P gave him meat; he came to us athirst it and we gave him drink; he came to us ^ naked an?i we clothed him in fine linen . and purple; we adorned his brow 10 ?viih fillets of gold, and hung a kingly i tl regalia about his neck; but he has sold j d the royal gifts for a little taffy, bar-! ^ tered his heritage for a smile; there-j fore, be it liesolced.

After a great many smaller guns Lad h ollowed, the okl smooth bore, the o fudge, the Grand Bashaw of three b ails, the 100 ton rifle gun of ihe 21 Jnion, the Prosecuting Attorney es- q ayed a shot at the corpse; but figura- ? ively speaking, he flashed in the pan. : b 'his aforesaid Attorney of the Union*, si 5 u singularly bashfnl man, the ex- V( ct counterpart of that unique Presi-1 r< ent.
