structjoiiii Uiemseives can be removed at a ! '
mucli'lcssc6st. We are satlstled that if the ". 'J
stream was made navigable tor a considcra- , :
bie distance above Augusta, it would prove ?,f 1
very grcat.lienc/it to a fertile scctlou of country
at least tlfly miles wide 011 each side
that thousands of bales of cotton that now
have to be hauled by wagons or brought down
on pole boats at great labor, expense and loss
of time would naturally come down the.
stream to Augusta.' The cost of improving
the river will be small, compared to the ben- ^
etits It will confer. Not only will thousands
jot bales of cotton that now emtio by wagon EdiU
find an easy transit, but thousands of others Di;
thnt nowiro In other directions will 1?? turn.
