An Interesting Story Boiled Down to One Chapter?Pleasing Prospects for Railroad Builders?Abbeville Escaped the Clutches oi the Cumberland Gap. Edgefield Chronicle. There 1b but little doubt now that Id the long run?and the run will not be much longer? Pickens and Wise Townships will have been taught a sad leBaon ae regards the Issuing ol bonds In aid of building railroads. In the uear future, as we see the matter, Pickens and Wise Townships will have to pay between forty and forty-five thousand dollars, Incurred by such ltsuiDg of bonds. Of course wheu the llaollity shall be finally and definitely fixed, there may be a possibility of retiring these latal old bonds, and lBBUlng new ones. Therein lies the only hope of the burden falling upon ur at all lightly?the burden of paying c4c rwin /A- rAKi?n vtu,wu iui lainuauo iuai aic uijrtuo auu lauico, ruts and gullies. The railroads are myths, but tbe $45,000 Is a very stern reality. In Charleston, three weeks back, In the U. 8. Court, Judge Brawley, presiding, was tried the case of Post, surviving partner of Mitchell & Post, versus Pickens Township, Edgefield County, for recovery of money upon bonds Issued by said Township In aid.of building tbe Cumberland Gag and Chicago Railroad. Tbe SlaintitT was represented by Mitchell <& mlth, or Charleston, and N. Q. Evans, of Edgefield. Tbe defendant?Pickens Township ?was represented by Crofi & Tillman. Judge Brawley gave Judgment for tbe plaintlfl In tbe full amount ol tbe bonds. The amount ot money Id vol ved Is, If we do not greatly err, somewhat more than 814,000. Col Croft eave notice of appeal. Tbe case against Wise Township is identically tbe same with that against Pickens Township ; and the attorneys on either side are the same. Consequently If the appeal shall fall aDd tbe Judgment be sustained, Wise Township will be in tbe same unlucky boat with Pickens Township. But this is not all. There Is a third fatal case, that of tbe National Bank of Augusta vs. Wise Township for recovery of money upon bonds Issued by said Township In aid ol building the Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry Railroad. The amouut involved in this case is more than $15,000. This case was tried in the U. S. Court In Greenville lust week, Judge Brawley again presiding. And again Judge Brawley gave Judgment for the plaintiffin full amount of the bonds. Tbe attorneys for the plaintiff In this case are Haynesworth cfc Parker, of Greenvill?. The attorneys for Wise Township are Croft & Tillman. Col. Croft again gave notice of appeal. This latter case Is the one In which Ex-Uov. Sbeppard so strongly and so persistently advised our people to compromise at SOcts. in the dollar. It is a pity we bad not followed this good adv tee. The latest smoking tobacco on the market.
