For tins Lancaater Ledger. i NO. III. I I noticed in my last a mistake made in !' reference 10 lite difference in hauling 15.000 bales of cotton to t.'iimden by wagop and carriage by Railroad. This number of j' bales would coal by wagon $30,000 ami ' by railroad ?7.500. so it would make $22,6t0 instead III $^4,800. '1 he next item I take up are Feirv's It may be thought strange of me for this ( aorl of a calculation, but not so, when you 1 recollect that the Ijuicasler railroad will 1 draw hundreds of bale* of cotton besides A iMl'At dffill lit tr?V?*l Itorim* iKu f*nlua l?u River. I recollect, n Ferrv on the Saluda River in Newberry Di?irii'|, (for I lived on one aide of the Ferry and my home Was on ; the aide that run to the landing.) one j time it did not make more than would pay | a man for services at moderate wage*. For , the ow ner vmh a man in this situation, and , the reason he got the Ferry for a sin ill ' rum was, that it did not make much After he bought it and sometime previous to the i building of the Newberry Rail Road, the j cotton merchants in Aiken, >3. C., got to | giving more than the Columbia merchants for cotton, and the owner of the ferry made | ' a very handsome little fortune for one in !' moderate circumstances I merely mention | this fact, to let Messrs. GoOch and Brown j ' know that they can go into a Rail toad troin ' 810.000 to $15,000 and make enough hy ' their Ferries extra, to pay the interest on ' their capital. They are both strong rail* 1 rosd men. i ne increase on Mtll* 1 take up next? 1 Every person known our population would be increased so they would gel a greater I 1 quantity of grinding to do, besides thev ! would ha\e facilities for earning off their flour und grain to a market. What I mean j ' by increase i n grain and roughness, is that ' there can bo the amount I set down for these articles, sold and spared from the Dis tiiet that would not otherwise be sold with out a railroad. The increase would be very great on roughness, as a great quantity of it is wasted for want of a market ? It is a w ell know n fact how it enhances the price of those articles, such as fruit tie , without much comment. I was told hy a Tenner em that a county in which he lived old $20 000 worth of fruit uftcr the roil road wus built, for they had no market before. I will hero insert nn article taken from the "Richmond Dispatch," which appeared last spring : "Peaches, Apples and other fruits will be abundant in South.w e?ti>m V'lr.,i.:-I iv?min. it' the frost doJnt nip the buds. A great deal of attention is being paid to the rulture of fruit in ttint section and in Tazewell County ulone, over 5000 trees have been transplanted from the Northern nnr aeries In North Curoiina. too, g*eat attention is being paid to the culture ot fruit.? 'The receipts from it* sales la-t year afe estimnted at $300,000. It is stated, in the Guilford region of that Slate, the cash realized from dried fruit alone is equal every J ear to the atnontil cleared by the farmers or the sutue jieriod ten years ago, on all the produce whicli they then sent to diff-r ent markets. Such is the effect- of Kail K'oud facilities." It is also a well known fact by those who are acquainted with the business, that the sum calculated for lumher and turpentine is moderate, and it would not he worth &ce dime out of the District if we have no raij ry<aq?both being too heavy to bear carriage very far. Next I take up is wood, as fuel, in Iain eaaterville and fur the rail roa<i. I think thik would he a very moderate amount that the District would make on wood. more ] than it does make at present wi limit the road. It is ?!?<> a well know n fai t that railroads enhance the value of town properly such as lots d'c, this would be a moderate sum for iaitK'ii?tervU}e.' fax on Goods wowtd be more by a rail road coining through this District, and here is iny argil* merit for this statement : If the road Is i built we will get a large amount of the j Chester trade and the people living contig. uous to the Charlotte railroad in the extreme north end of the District. So you can per. | ceive that our merchants will have a great < j . many more goods to return to-lie Tax Collector. Next I will tike up goods sold cheaper by railroad. It must be borne in mind, that I said I would prove before.I got through with this subject, that the mer chants of this district were annually taxing thf> iip<ir>l*? n(' II.i - ,?? ? i i say now I nut they are the people 820 000 every year. t heard'two very intcligent merchant* in l-ancnsterville *ay if we had n rail road they could >ell good* 26 per cent, cheaper. I was informed by our efficient Tax Collector that there was $120,000 I worth of merchandise told in the 1 )i-lrict by his return. Well, this being the case the goods must have coat &*0,000 for I oelieve the merchants generally sell f,.r litty per oentthen you see the District would save ?20 ,000 by the rail road. The nn/r chants would then have to quit their old 99 wsy of selling goods. The progress of the age will then say to the merchants ''quick sales and small pr"hts." What I mean hy a difference in hauling cotton to market and getting it curried by railroad?I have valued the col tuo per bale 1 by wagon at srd i,v railroad at 60 cts. This $22,600 would more than be realized I ' by Ihe people, if their WHgnns were em- ' ployed in milking manure and reclaiming . Iheir land* in the liine they would take up in hauling their cotton to market I ahull look upon it an ti good inltreat on the enp ital I will hike in building this railrcad, | and ke?-p my wagons iVt 'home hauling | and making manure. ' i It will I>? aeen after these amount* are I added op il inukee the JyitH^sOOie aiim of ' $VoT 88<i, ai.d 1 thick all the items are put fery low. 1 In c<*ncluaion, I have one rem irk to mnke to the people of thia IMairiit: Since the progVe*a of the age is continually making ( facilities lor the tranaportaiion of produce t anil oilier aitides, and, also, ere.itnig labor* . waving implements in farming ua well as u other Irmikia of iaduatry, it would take ( , . , t . . . relumes to record the improvements of the I list twenty years. It was b'll last year a citizen of our own State ami n native ->f Abbeville District S. I,. Bumf, invented a ! Patent Tever which is to be attached to the j Shop Bellows, bv which thousand* ?>t dol lira will be saved in the article of Coal and ,.lso in smithing. I believe the tight of this Pi-tret is now owned by Messrs Bruiiiinett S: Burn*. I have al*n made discoveries on n?v fnrtn tor wnieli I would not take Hve , tlioii-ai;d linHai* and go back to Old Fogy, j ism. Therefore we must have a railroad ] to keep pice with the improvements of Ihe age. To the overseers, bachelors, widowers, ' nnd widow Indies of tfte District, I have a j word to *nv. Overseer*, the same plants- \ foots will he to superintend mid the rai'road 1 will cieule new births. Um'lit'liiw.Mitiuwi'ri j and widow ladies, a a railroad i create iu*w | things. yon do lei know but that it may , briny vou a wife, or a husband, ao let ine b??ee?h you all to join us in ibis great un- j do Making. I have lately received information fioina I gentleman near Bishopville informing me j that the people of that country and be* | low havu a strong idea of running a j rail ro id up to Bishopville thence by j Lnticusterville to t'liurlolte Norlu Caro-I lina, connecting with the North Has. J tern railroad company tit some point. If j such is the case Camden had better look ' out lor hei interest. While 1 mention the I name of Camden, I must return my thanks ) to one of her citizens, Mr I) I) flocott, an j enterpiisi'ng nrjd public spirited gentleman I for his signature to our paper to the amount of JtlO,OtO. How many more from Kershaw will respond in that way i Ilefore I close this lengthy article I have mother word to say to toe people of luis District : The State is aiding every Road within her borders to the amount of j or 1 b if wr do not subscribe enough with | the amount we get from the State, vvc get j no road at all. Hut bear in mind that we are | taxed to help build nil other railroads.? Since it is a fu-t that the difference in yetliny a bale of cotton to Camden by railroad and wagons is $1,50, those persons who will not take stock in the road (unless pre vented by Providence, aeeident, or eirenm- i stance.) should feel themselves hound to ! be willing to pay the extra eharge.s by way ons. But I 11.itter myself that there will he very few who will not come up and help us to build a rail road. The object of our subscription at this time is to ascertain it we en?' yet nearly enouyh to build it w ith what we wjll yet front the Slate end other sources. Cor we have been put to the troublv of yet tiny two charters I'or this toad and we do fflTt wish to yet another ! charter without heiny certain of buildiny it, iiH it is ratoer expensive and no prclit. Therefore let everv one who is anxious for a road coiuu up and siyn our subscription p iper and do all :iie> can for it in talk ing, and ilien, I predict we will have a rail road built Mr. editor. I suppose I have ties passed , upon vour time, but it is a subjtel upon which I do not know when in quit writing. I am ill tor a roitJ my route. J (AS A. CUNNINGHAM. j Bishopville?
