A warm competition arose between Greenwood and Abbeville, two i towns between Anderson and Aiken, 8. C., for tbe location of tbe road. The two towns are about ten miles apart and possess abont i equal advantages as to distance, route and expenses of construction. Both towns compiled with all requests made of tbem by subscribing tbe amount asked of them and guar anteelne Bubsldltv. But when it came to ter mi Dal facilities Greenwood could not aeoore , such as would be required, while Abbeville stood ready to guarantee all tbe terminals ! necessary, and tbe Abbeville route baa been i decided upon by the officers of the road.

The partnership was dissolved be* cause of a disagreement as to tbe amount of tbe salary which should be paid to tbe manager, Hngb Wilson. At first, only spinning was done, and tbe 5-lb bunches of thread, which were banled tbrough tbe country in wagons, was sold to tbe people. Before the destruotlon or tbe mm, oaring the 80's, looms bad been pat In, and part ol tbe yarn was span Into elotb.
