Farm Talk.
, ]
Tliorc has boon anil is still mucn in, IJv illK'ltt !
the one-horse negro farmer, his lien at the i!
store, ami the idleness or misdirected labor of
the aforesaid agriculturist. The mistake ''
"which nearly every man makes in the discussion
of the condition of the larms is in '
the supposition that no negro is competent
to conduct a successful farm, and that every 1
white man has the ability to make money at *
'farming, if he could only "control labor"?in
other words, if the law would give him slave
labor, free of cost. J
The fact is, that success is the measure of i
merit. Hundreds of men in every county
make money by farming, and what one man ]
docs another may do, jf he apply the same <
amount of energy and business tact to the I
work. The man who owns a farm, and fails l
to make a living only proclaims his personal, ]
ti.noinimiiiis of success. We believe I (
JiUIV Ul luv
that every man who possesses energy, l
integrity,and business tact can control all |
:1he labor lie needs, and we further believe i
-that any farm which is properly looked after! i
and properly tilled will yield a generous slip- i
port for its owner and his family.
We must abandon the idea that every white
man, no matter how little he works, can get
rich on the farm which he neglects. It has
'been said that vigilance is the price of liber- '
ty. It might be said with equal force, that
economy, industry, and well directed labor is
the price of prosperity. It is nlso true that
prosperity seldom fails to award the effort of
those who deserve lier favors.
As a matter of fret, no man need expect to
prosper who neglects to provide food for his i
stock. A pasture is indispensable to the pros- 1
perity of any farmer. With a good pasture, '
which every farmer may secure by well di- i
rected effort, sufficient stock may be raised to
support the farm. The farmer who has a good
supply of cattle and horses need not buy
* " - ! TP K ^
" commercial fertilizers 111 mc spring, n nc
will build comfortable houses, and provide
^jood pastures, his stock will not only increase,
but his immures will be a source of
profit nnd a saving of great e.\pence. Many
mistakes arc made in buying fertilizers which
=are deficient in the requisites for the crops.
^Stable manure being a perfect manure, never
fails to yield a largo return in increased
crops.
If the grass which now goes to waste in 1
Abbeville county, were turned into flesh,
tnilk jmd butter, we could supply ourselves)1
and our neighbors with these necessary ,
airticles. Can any man reasonably expect
prosperity to coine to our doors as long as immense
quantities of grass in every part of the '
county,Jand on every farm, is allowed to go
-waste? If we would be self-sustaining and
independent we must husband our resources,
and stop all unnecessary waste. The crops of
grass on many of our farms arc worth as ,
much as the cultivated crops, but the grasses !
aire lost and allowed to dry up, while we are 1
compelled to gather the cultivated crops at
great expense, but by fencing our lands, the .
cattle, mules and horses would turn our
.grasses Into flesh without cost, and our cattle,
.mules and horses could be turned into money. (
When it is remembered that milk and butler
may be had so cheaply, is it. not strange '
"that so much money is paid annually for 1
Western bacon? No family should be witli out
a pasture and a good milk cow. Every
farmer will find it profitable to have a hog
and a colt in his pasture. A hog can be rais- 1
ed for little cost, and a colt may be kept all 1
winter on the corn which it takes to fatten a
hog. For six or eight months in the year the
colt need cost nothing at all. if kept in a
good pasture. When a mule is two years old
he can go to work. Even if he does not do '
full work he can earn more than his food, so j
that a good mule can be raised for nearly no ;
cost at all. ;
Patent Outside*.
It is truly terrifying to a news editor to pick
no the patent outside papers of the state and
discover the identical news and make-up of
??ne after another of them. It would be much
better for these papers to do all their printing
-it Humf hv the useof nlate matter for the out- <
nicies and the money they would scc?t for advertising
space would more than meet the additional
cost. Resides, they thoroughly depreciate
the advertising rotes of their papers by
allowing the patent outside publishers to put j
advertisements in their papers lor a song by
virtue of the lumping process. There is no i
earthly chance of the country publisher get- >
ting foreign advertising when the agencies <
know they can buy the service on the patent '
pages <or almost what they choose to ott'er. '
Such matters as this should engage the atten- j <
tion of the Press Association and then itsjl
members would be easier in mind anil pocket J
when taking their annual jaunt.?Columbia 1
Register. i
"We hardly think the Register would find the \
plate matter less terrifying for the news edi- ;
tor than the patent outside. We agree with '
the Register though as to the utility of the j
plate matter. We have ordered plates and |
when we have nothing to put in our paper we i
expect to use them, for the reason that they j
are as good as mc selections ?hiwi sue m.iuv;
merely to fill up or to keep compositors busy, j
We have about ceased to publish foreign advertisements
for the reason that they are
either objectionable or the price oll'crcd is be. |
low living rates. By lowering the standard of |
the Press and Banner to that of a medical j
almanac, we could yet get profitable work j
from the patent medicine men by pub-1
'Jishlng editorial commendations of their j
.nostrums. We are surprised that the Register 1
-should even thitikof sujrgestinn that the Press
Association take any business under consideration,
further than the offering of resolutlons.of
rkanks to car drivers for free rides,
#nd,to bootblacks for free shines.
Congress.
for several days the air has been laden ;
-with Congressional talk. Candidates, almost
by the score, representing nearly every sec-;
tlon OI tlie dlsm'lcl, ihivv ueun ruiiuv. amjcently
rumor has added Judge Cothran's
name to the list. We have' not had an opportunity
to interview the Judge on this subject
but from all that we can learn wo are inclined
to the opinion that lie has no aspirations
in that direction. While we have no
authority to represent Judge Cothran, and
while we do not speak, as by the book, we
venture to suggest that he will be in the way |.
of no one seeking Congressional honors from i1
tliis District. J
It has been suggested, however, that in ease i
Judge Cothran should accppt the nomination 1
lor Congress from this District lluit Mr. W. II j j
Parker's distinguished career in the Legisia- i
ture, together with his pre-eminent ability as ''
11 lawyer, and his great familiarity with the in- '
tricacies of the law, would bring him forward , .

OurSumter friend, it seems to up, is entirely
too severe on the Mormons. We regard the
honest Mormon as a. saint when compared 1,
with the divorced libertine. Morinonism is,:
better than divorce. The Mormon supports
and protects all his wives. The divorce laws i
allows the man to smirch the honor of pre-:
ceding wives, before throwing them on 111 e ;
world alone and unprotected. He is bound to .
protect and support only his lsist conquest.'
According to our way of thinking, the Mor;

Primary Election.
The State farmers' convention at Columbia
week before last passed a resolution in favor
tif nominatins Congressmen and StateoJHoms
by primary election. This plan will give the
"outs** a fair chance to learn whetlicr the peo- y
pie want a new deal or not.?(Jrvvnivoud Tribune.
Hut for all that the resolution asking forar-j
rangements tor primary elections for Con-!
iiressmen and state officers, will, in our opin.
ion, be defeated by the politicians who a,-e
running the machine. Politicians who understand
the art of pulling the strings are not
likely to s;ive np their power without a struggle.
They seem to think that common people
should have no higher privilege than that "

Editor l'rc.ts and Banner: st
I herewith enclose you a statement showing i J1'
the number of miles of completed railroads,!
also the number in course of construction r(
Lind contemplation in Abbeville county. In- il.'
L-luded in this statement is an exhibit, of the ,
iimouut of taxes paid last year by tlie Colum- J'(
bia and Greenville and Augusta and Knox- tc
ville railroads, as well as an estimated vv'
amount which will be paid in the future, "
when tlie Greenwood, Laurens and Spartan- ..
bury, and Savannah Valley are added to swell i ,
the amount. One-eighth of our entire taxes w
were paid last year by the two first enumer- ?e
sited loads. The next assessment will amount j .
to about one-tittn, sum wncn tne Atlantic aim | v
Western, the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and "
Chicago, and the Chester. Greenwood, Abbe-1 {!'
ville and Elberton are built over one fourth of {'
the State, county and school taxes will be f.?
paid into the treasury by railroads alone. 111
When it is taken into consideration how ^
small an amount is taken out.of the pocket of
the tax-payer to build a railroad and how {?
threat an amount of foreign capital is invested j ,
in the county on which is paid a yearly tax, i }c
there is no better investment than to tux j J1,
our property from three to live per cent, to j11
coueenirato in our county ten times the I-s'
amount of foreign capital which would other-1(.,
wise never find its way among us. We don't ] s<;
propose to oiler arguments to prove that we
should build tlie three roads contemplated. |
I'he enhanced value of real estate, which "j
would result; the increased valuation in .
towns which would be built; ami, the taxes al
which would be collected is an argument of 1"
itself snllicient to seeure their earlv construe-!1"

We think an item or two will not be amiss

<he has just pulsed through one of the grandest
epochs in her history. Several years ago
he South Carolina Annual Conference, in her
Lvisdom resolved that each of the counties
'oinposing the conference, should form and j>

In obedience to that resolution, on last Friday

ill reported to bo In a liealthy, nourishing i1,1
condition. The daily sessions of the conven-|
Lion were largely attended, much interest was i
manifested, and nodoubt the canseof Sunday i Cl
schools will be greatly bcnelitted thereby. At | (ll
Jie mass meeting Sunday morning our com- jil
inodious ciinrch was filled to overflowing. til
I'ho time was well spent and the very larjre 111
rowd was well entertained in listening to ailJresses
by Prof (i. (,'. Hodsres, Mr. 11. S. (Jalloivay.and
Rev. W. P. Meadors. These address?s
were well-timed, well-delivered and showed
i full appreciation upon the part of the speak2is
of this momentous question. Lowndes- [j,
ville and her vicinity entertained as slie^il- ...
ways does, very hospitably, making tiie thirty
mid delegates present, as well as the many
visitors leei at home. 1
One incident considerably marred what '
mijrht otherwise have been a,n almost perfect >,.

which otherwise would have attached to this j

itors came on the Savannah Valley Railroad 1,
within two miles of our town, where they I,.:
were met by buggies and carriages, and safely .1.

long discussed in anticipation and long to be j < :

that night under the auspices of the Abbeville | w

L'il witli the reliued elegance of Abbeville's al
management of such society events. The ball i t li
took place in the ('olirt House, which was ad-1 si
mirably arranged for the purpose, and theltii
event was marked no less by the attendance i m
us spectators of an unusually large number ofi m
dignified matrons than by the galaxy ol'liii
youth and beauty that graced the occasion. |cc

abounding and delicate and unflagging ntten-jai
Lion, the Anderson contingent could have but j in
nni! lvirref ?tluit more of" our voting people I n<
uould not honor the kind invitations I
present. The costumes worn by the young'
ladies at tlie ball were strikingly beautiful f
mil becoming, adding infinitely to the brill-[
iaucenfthc brightly lighted and decorated (
Hall, while the sparkling eyesand happy faces i
>f the fair attendants were more than inag-|

without diminishing the quota of either. 11
ivas a late hour before the participants could j
jet their consent, to retire, and tnen it was to I
reflect with the satisfaction upon the pleasant j

joii the execution of a contract for the coniction
of your road. Since that time?name.
in tlie niontli of October? the work of

juipped by tlie contractor, by whom it is

litable intervals as to distance and convennee,
where houses are now being erected at
ie depot stations for the business of t he road.
The mortgage of tlie road, its property and
anchises, heretofore authorized by Stockholm's.
has been executed, and the bonds to be
cured by the mortgage are being printed
rcparatory to their execution and delivery

when the rosul is finished.
since your last, animal meeting, Col. James
Latimer, your former President, and afterards
a Director, has died, he having lived to
:e the grading of ttie road completed, and the
,*t of the work having been done at J.owndesille,
lie testified his pleasure by celebrating
te event. The revival of the road under its

ie preparation and adoption of the charter
the day of his death lie was steadfast, faithl
and earnest in his devotion to its interests
id advancement. A committee wasappointI
at your special meeting in December last
? prepare and submit to the Convention resoitions
commemorative of his services to the

is death has been tilled by the election by
ie Hoard of Mr. G. F. Tolly, Mayor of Anderm,
as a recognition as well of bis tltness and
' his zeal for the road, as of the large subription
made by the City of which he is the
liciai head.
1 regret, also, to announce to you the resitrition
from the Hoard of Mr. \V. G. Watson,
hich occurred in April last, ile has been

I wish to call your attention to the present
,vk ward and unnecessary representation in
aur Conventions of the original Township
inscriptions of stock, and to suggest the
{option of proper measures to get rid of it.
icii representation was necessary under the
nirter to perfec t and continue the organiza011
until the stock subscribed by the Townlips
was paid in; but these subscriptions
living been paid, and the charter having pfolded
for the conversion of tax receipts of the
idividual taxpayers into certificates of priite
stock, there is no reason why all the
ock should uot lie thus taken up; aiul if
lis were fully done the Townships represetiLtion
would doubtless cease by operation of
,\v, as there would be nothing left lor their
legates to represent.
It. will perhaps be necessary in this connec011
to enforce the conversion of tax receipts
ito certificates of stock, by prescribing a peod
of liniiiHtion within which they should

tlliUTE TO THE LATE I'HKSIDKNT, JAMES M.
LATiMElt, SEXIOK.
Maj. 11. F. Whitner oll'ered the following
eamble and resolutions commemorative oi
ie services of the late Col. James M. Latimer,
niMinimrtnulv .wlnil-ul
Whereas, Col. James M. Latimer was (he
st to suggest and openly advocate the revivor
the Savannah Valley Railroad. The old
irporation of the Savannah River Valley
aiiroad had died of inanition during tlielute
iir, and it was mainly through the efforts of
jl. .Latimer that the present, a new and ilisnct
corporation, was formed. Having connived
the idea he advised with friends of the
iterprise along the line, collected informai?n
as to ways and means best adapted for
tilding the road, and caused the charter, un;r
which the Company was organized, to be
Mined and adopted, ile is justly entitled,
icrefore, to be regarded as the originator of
ic enterprise, and from its inception to the
i.v of his death his devotion to its interests
iver Magged, nor was there any cessation of
is etl'orts in its behalf, in recognition of his
irnestness and zeal he was made the first,
resident of the Company?-in 1S7H? with great
uanimity, and served in this capacity for
ur years, having been successively re-eleet1.
These were, lor the most part, years of
lliculty, of gloom and doubt in the history
our road. The plan of building a railroad,
>ntrolled by a private corporation by taxaDii
was new to our people, and many of our
ost substantial eiti/.rns and largest, taxpays
sternly opposed it as a dangerous innovaoii.
Contributions or taxes were paid in
nwly, a large part was for a time defiantly
itlilield, and the treasury ol' the Company
intinued in a crippled condition, amounting
most to a chronic state of depletion. Vet
lesedifllculties did not dampen the ardor or
inkc the resolution of Col. J.atimcr, or disirb
his equanimity. The work was comenced,
and steadily progressed with the
cans at his control; and such was the kindness
of his nature, his great urbanity, and
insidcration for the opinions ot others, that
1 opposition and resistance was overcome
id men were persuaded and cajoled intopayig
their contributions. His suavity ot man*
combined with his high character, enaed
him to render conspicuous service in seiring
rights of way from landowners along
ic line who were the enforced contributors

place to the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railroad meeting at Greenwood today
has just returned. Col. II. H. Ho wen, of
Pickens, acting president, and Mr. Henry
llonner, of Duo West, secretary, were present.
The report of Mr. fschofield, the financial
agent of the company, who has been in New
York, London and Scotland for some time in
the interest of the railroad company, was
very favorable. lie reports that foreign capitalists
have been interested sufilciently to invest
$8,300,000 in this, I he biggest railroad enterprise
in the United States. Mr. Benson,
the agent of the London Banking Company,
is now in Knoxvllle, Tcnn., and is going over
the entire line. We can certainly hope to
have the line completed as far as Edgefield
Court. House by December 1, commencing at
Aiken.
This line shortens the distance by rail between
the great interior cities of Louisville,
Cincinnati and Chicago, and the ports ol
Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah by 150
to 157 miles. No other line competing with
this one can be constructed, for it occupies
the only available gaps in the Cumberland
and Blue liidge Mountains. The Louisville
and Nashville"system, the only one which by
any possibility could be considered at all competitive,
is urging and assisting in its construction.
It opens up the largest area not
crossed by a railway in the United States east
of the Mississippi Itivcr. It begins 011 the
north in the famous HI ue Grass region of Kentucky,
crosses and opens up to markets the
great bituminous and cannel coal fields o!
eastern Kentucky : passes through the adjacent
and extensive hematite iron ore beds ol
Tennessee (now without either coal or market)
and from the foot of the Blue Itidge in
North Carolina to the cities of Aiken and
| Charleston (its southern termini) it passes
through the finest, cotton and tobacco territory
in the .South. The bituminous and cannel
coal fields of Kentucky exceed in area the entire

along its line that Prof. Proctor, the State gc

manufacture; but an abundant market
awaits it in Louisville, Cincinnati and neighboring
cities on the north, in the adjacent

of the stockholders of the Carolina, Cumberland

held at Greenwood yesterday, to hear a report
lYom the financial ayentof the company, Mr
Schofield. The agent was not pressent., hut ht
sent a report. His report was most eneourag
iinc to the Iriendsof the cnterpri>e. Mr. Scho
field reported to tho meeting that three J,on

Sv.'iOU.OUO if on investigation they found liit
statement, made to them by Mr. Scliotield Ir

We are all very much gratified by Hie re

In the meantime wo are not ceasing to worl;
for the building of the road from Klberton

met at Greenwood on Thursday. The
meeting Wsis well attended, delegates beinu

The meeting was held in Waller's Hall, and
was presided over by Col. II. K. Bo wen, ol
Pickens, who is the acting president of the
road. The meeting was held with ciosed doors
and the newspaper men were requested to ret
ire. Sciiofieid was expected to be at the meetinsr,
but he did not come. He sent a large
batch of papers to show what progress be is
making with the capitalists of Europe, and he
expressed himself as being "siill hopeful"
j mat arrangements wouiu do coinpieieu very
soon by which the money could bo realized on
I the bonds of the road. lie says that the capitalists
now have a man in this country who is
authorized to examine the statusof the road,
and if he makes a satisfactory report the
money will be raised,provided that the towns
on the route in Edgefield, Abbeville, Aiken
and Pickens counties first raise by subscription
a sum not less than fifty thousand dollars.
Some of the friends of the road express
themselvesns being "more than hopeful" that
the road will now be built, but others expressed
themselves as being disgusted with Scholield,
and said they would have nothing more
to do with the enterprise. The next meeting

No town in Georgia is lieiny looked upon
with so inucrli favor just now as our own Klben.on.
This means Elbert county as well as
the town. Heretofore we have had but, little
recognition from the outside world. We have
j been considered as an out of the way place
i and a backward people. This ii justice has
cmlcd and we can hopefully look forward to a
; bright and successful future.
I Then; is now on hand u practicable, ecojnomical
jincl splendid opportunity lorKlberi
ton and Klberl county to swell her numbers,
to prosper autl enrich her people. A few days
niro w<; were visited by business men representing
thef'hesPT,Greenwood and Abbeville
Kailroad. These gentlemen arc not speculators
for the spoils of charier rights or <|itesliouable
methotls. They mean business.
They mean improvement. "Wo allude to the
gentlemen whose names were mentioned in
last week's i<site and who came here to represent
the interest ol IIiu Chester, Circunwcoil
and Athens Railroad.
A young gentleman of our town who takes
a prominent part in all our enterprises went
Willi them to the Carolina line, and he tells
us the people of Abbeville will build their
part of this road. They are aroused on this
! subject and offer to do all towards Its accomplishment
that is required of them. Their
representation us to what they will do is as
I valid as a bond, and with good security. All
I the arrangements have been made for the
money necessary for the eross-tieing, trestle,
j bridge-work, ironing,and equippingthis road.
There is no tiosli about this.
All we are asked to do is to grade the roadbed
to the river, or through the county. From
Elberton to the Savannah River is'almosta
natural grade. From Elberton westward only
a part i;> difficult and this n. small part?not
over two miles. Then comes the question,
will we do this? Every man, woman and
child ought to say ' Yes." Why? Hecause
this road willdogivat things for Elbert, county
as well as Elberton. How? It will come
almost perpendicularly to the Elberton AirLine
Railroad, traversing a section untouched
and unbeneiittcd by this last named mad,
so far as local development is concerned. It
will connect us with Atlanta closer by fitly
miles. Ii will carry ns to the ocean by many
hours quicker. It will penetrate and wake to
life the sleeping energies of a great portion of
t he best people in this county ami in Georgia.
It will put us in direct, quick and close, connection
with the East and West. We already
have a Northern outlet.
More than this. Jt will bring by this town
and through this county the Augusta and
Chattanooga Railroad. This last road will
and must be built. Augusta, Charleston and
Savannah, all, demand some new line. Such
a road as they need and will have, cannot afford
to leave us and go elsewhere. Next to
Athens we rank highest in the cities of North
East. <?a. But above and beyond all this, here
is the best advantage gained :
The best part ot Georgia or of any other
country is in the Eastern and Southern part of
Elbert county. This part of "God's country"
on tile one side is watered by the Savannah,
the other by the Broad River. Lying between
the two there is a section as dear to us as was
nl.win H'I.AIIA T Im'u n-ofovL' itint Ttc
iug (inlands to-day invite the stranger, and its
valleys are broad and fertile and never false
to the touch of the husbandman More than
this. On both these rivers are the most magnificent
water powers and of such a nature as
can be readily and cheaply converted to the
uses of man and machinery. Think what
wonderful results will come of the development
of these resources. Think of how our
population will be increased; how our industries
will bo strengthened; how our civilian'
Hon will be advanced, and liow happiness
will be promoted !

effort to accomplish this one great enterprise.
Our pride suggests it, our business requires It
and our patriotism demands it. One grand

The Evening News ran up against the busiest
, railroad man in town, and accosted Col. R. M.
r Mitchell this morning, as follows:
'Well, Mr. President, what about the Caro!>
Una Red Lines ?"
"The survey of the Newberry Red Line," replied
PrcsidenLilitcliell, "is progressing quite
i satisfactorily. A. preliminary line has been
: run by Chief Engineer liarksdale and his
| corps to .Sweetwater church, about ten miles
I from the city, and this morning the engineer
corps is engaged in locating the roadbed pre[
punitory tocornmenclng the grading. We are
particularly delighted with having found a
; way over the JIaiuburg Hills with'a ninety
, far* r cri'jwlo."
, "You will hog in grading very soon then?"
i "Yes, perhaps in a day or I wo, and the track
laying will follow closely. Wo are now advertising
for two hundred railroad laborers. Captain
HnrKsoale estimates that the grading
from Hamburg to Sweetwater will not. com
exceeding S5U0 per mile, which is much cheaper
than I ever supposed the work could be
done. IIe is the great pathfinder, however.'
"How long will the. main line he?"
"Say 70 miles to Newberry, and yesterday I
had a letter Irom the chairman of a committee
representing township No. l of Newberry
county oll'erimr aid to bring the road toward
Union C II. When we receive a definite proposition
from Union county, which we antici
, pate soon, me ^ewueny riiuu win ?e i'.\ii*iiuI
oil through Union and perhaps York counties,
n and into Xorth Carolina. Tints the main road
will probably be over !">l) miles long, penetrat'
ing the best counties of south Carolina. With
its branches all in operation, this road should
bring to Augusta 150,0U0 bales of cotton annually."
"How are the assessments being paid in?"
"Very nicely. Hut you know we have private
subscriptions only in Augusta and Edgefield
county. The balance of the road will be
. built by township, city or county subscriptions."
? "You will build the road?"
"Yes, we will build it. Xever fear that, and
when you hear any one say we will not, put
him down as a prejudiced individual or a
: fool!"
"Other parties are proposing to construct a
' narrow gauge*from Johnston to Augusta?arc
i they not?"
"I have heard there was some such scheme
afoot. The Augusta and Xewherry authorities
have nothing to do with it, however. We
will build on our own line, and gladly welcome
any other narrow gauge which lias Augusta
as its terminus, because feeders, come
whence they may, will do great good commer>
ciallv."
t "Where will you cross theSavannah river?"
, "That, has not been fully decided. We are
considering three or four point.?over the S.
- C. railway or C. C. it A. bridge, or the build
in# of an independent bridge by I lie Sandersville
railway. I believe, however, that most
of the directors prefer crossing in tbe upper
pari of the city."
"You will build rapidly?"
"Yes; y oilcan say that t lie Red Line directory
have their road assured, and not only as.
sured, but that it will be rapidly built, liut
you will pardon ine now." |

Edgefield Monitor, May !3.
On Monday tlie Atlantic, Greenville and
Western Narrow Oauce Railroad Company
made a contract wifli Alexander stnart & Co.,
for the grading of the road from Ninety-Six
tliron?rl? Abbeville and Kdgetleld counties to
Johnston, in Kdgefteld county, on the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad, a dis
tance of thirty miles. On the same day aconf
tract was partially completed with Sullivan
<fc Co., for the grading from Johnston to Hamburg,
the Carolina terminus of the South Carolina
Railroad bridge over the Savannah to
Augusta. Chief Kngincer Kirk is now in Au.
imsta in conference with Superintendent Peek
of the South Carolina Road* about obtaining
' the use of the bridge for the Narrow Gauge
track.
Sluart & Co.. have agreed to accept in payment
the bonds issuedfor the railroad atnine1
ty cents on the dollar. Sullivan <fc Co., will
accept the notes aiven for subscriptions by
> responsible persons along the line between
' Johnston and Augusta. which are already
pledged, and will pay for the work, which is
very light.
It may now be said safely that the Narrow

Lancaster Review.
The County Commissioners bciil a, meeting
at the Court ilouse lust Saturday lor the purpose
of considering petitions presented by
freehold voters in the townships of Gills
Creek, Cane Creek and Pleasant. Hill, asking
for an election to deteimine whether these
townships shall subscribe to the capital stock
of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
railroad. It being ascertained that a majority
of the qualified freehold voters of the respective
townships had signed the petitions,
the County Commissioners decided to order
the election prayed for at an early day. Formal
lioticeof the election will probably appear
in our next issue. The Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago railroad was represented at the
meeting by .Major Jas. F. llart, of Vorkville.
The several amounts which these townships
propose to subscribe are as follows: Gills
(,'reok. >:>!),nlXi; Cane Creek, $15),l)!ifl; Pleasant
Hill, Silt,urn); makinga total of iTT.Oiii). It is
estimated that the amount required lobe raised
by taxation to pay the interest on the

for the sums named will be i.'i.iiJ on the Si,DUO
