Operations have been curried on without cessation, but sometimes, under trying and diicult circumstances. The mug. nitude and importance of the enterpriae coupled w ith the many obstacles that arose in the path of succebs demanded patience and self sacrifice and these virtues display ed on all sides added materially to the sue cess obtained. On the 1st of May 1881, 17 convicts were at Work in Anderson County. These con victs were returned to the South Carolina Penitentiary on the 1st October 1881 under direction from the Board of Directors of the lnst'tuiion. 11 milti of the road was graded by the convicts in eight months, and upon their removal to Columbia, the work was subpended in Anderson County. On the Ist, of August, 1881, work was commenced on the liue between Troy and Abbuvillo C, U., and continued with a force varying from 20 to 50 hired laborers until the pisent time. Ten miles of grading are completed on this division and there yet remains a Iraction over 61 miles un. e graded to coniplete the work as far as Ab- t bevillo C. 11. 'Ihe amendments to the charter extending the line through the counties of Abbeville i and Edgetleld, necessitated experinental r _urveys through these sections. During the Summer and Fall of 1881, these sur veys were maade from iBelton via Due West, e Abbevi le C. 11. and Troy to Edgefield C. I 11. The work proved the practicability of d the route althoutight. heavy work may be expected in certain locations in each county.

Bradley, I have r been acting President of your road since the sixth of January last. Whilst oppressed with thme high responsibility imposed, and t' with my inexperience on thae' subject of railroads and t heir construction, I have ~ given you my undivided energy and best nability in the discharge of my dutty. Through the energy and efficiency of your General Superintendent and Chief Engineer the work has progressed beyond all expec Lation, with the limited iema at hand to ftecoomnlishi it. The failure of the last crop made it diflicult to collect subscriptions and a fInd the means to continue thme work, but by jint of persevera'nce it has been dne.- li WhIen I assumed control of the road as a President we were at work near Long Cane n the direction from Troy to Abbeville sith about twenty hands (hired laborers) ii vhich has been about. the average number cept at work since. We have graded now ir w o within about 61 miles of Abbeville C. H distance of 4j. miles since 15th January. A (otwithletanding, the continuous bad weath- c< ir of January and February, this work has' a meen accomplished with an economy of ex. enditure ungreoedented in railroad work al rhen it is asserted that the work is all first 'lass Including the location of' line and cc haracter of the grading.

I have see proper to ex tract an editorial from the Moristwn, renn., Gasette, which ea" "The contract just closed for the oen struction or the Cumnberland railway of Kentooky, from the oonnection with the Morristown, tmumberland Gap and Ohio railroad at the Cumberland moutitain, by way of Pineville and Barboerilile, to con nect with the Knoxville branch of the Lou leville and Nashville railroad, complete the link of a through line from connections on the North with the railway system of Ken Lucky to Aiken 8. C., mnking direct con nections with the railroads in that.State for tlie cities of Charleston, Savannah, Port Royal, Augusta etc. This system of rail roads Is oomposed of the following roads: Cumberland Railway of Kentucky, 60 miles; Cumberland Gap, Morristown and Ohio railroad of Tennessee 58 miles; Morris, town and Carolina railroad of Tennessee, 46 miles; North Carolina tailroad. 66 miles; Atlantic and French Broad Valley railroad of South Carolina, 129 miles; Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken railroad, South Caroli na, 21 miles; total miles 868. All of which are now under contract with the distinct understanding that these several lines are to be consolilited under one name and manngement- This will be done in a very short time, The conditions of the contract tre that the entire line shall bo\ completed :n or before December 81st 1884." Every one familiar with this section of he country can at once see the advantages his short line from the coal fields or Ken ucky to the Southeastern seacoast will be o the entire country through which it pas, ies, and It will do more for the country han any line now built or proposed to be uilt. Desides it, will pay a handsome re urn to the capitalists that are investing in his national line of railroad. It is thus een that our enterprise is looked upon by lie intelligent world as a magnificent cheme superior to any line non built or raposed to be built. Arid so it is. tun ing as it. does across the entire Appalach.. in chain of mountains through the richest esouboes of North Carolina, Tennessee udKentncky, and opening up the shortest ine to deep water; stretching out by its onnections to the Mississippi Valley and mibracirng all the great railroad centres of b)e Northwest, Cincinnati, Chicago, In lanapolis, St. Louis, Louisville, Nashvilte, noxville &c., all of which, with the excep on, perhaps of Chicago, being nearer to larleston by this line than to the city of ew York, insures die varied products ofl is Immense count ry to roll downu through his great artery of trade to the sea, and uarks it as the grandest enterprise to day pun the American map. The best. engineering skill of the country ssui'es us that It is easily practicable at a rade not over 75 feet to the mile, with no Lunnelinig. bitt simply a cut of not exceed g 8() teetl at Eastatoe gap to le. us throisgha toeIBlue Ridge heretofore regairdd -r~& an i npassable barrier. - We eerri1i7'-ini the most. progressiv e p3 of the world.

At.I tota has demonstrated the rich resources, lie enlightened advancement and promised reahhl and grandeur of the New South. urely with so many avenues opened up a wealth and so manty stimulants to prog. ess, our people will not be found wanting a the energy and nerve to ensure success ai this enterprise. I think, gentlemnen, those of you who any have been imipatienut or over zealous a to thie comipletion of this great work, uight rather to be cheerful at the prospect elor~e us. Your road will be built. Ne essity will build it. The growing inter-t sts of Our country dlemand it, and the prog ec~s of the age insures it. If this cotutract or construction hahts or falters; the mlag itude and importance of thie enterprisc rill recommend it to other eapitalists, who ,ill rise to the emergency. Respectfully subitted. J.

P. flanmet wat read. It is an exceedingly satiafle tory document, and gives a. most gratifying exhibit of the condition of the factory. It is very concise and comprohensivo and begins by announcing the completion of the extension of the mill with its ap, poiitmeate, it being now in full ope ration. The operations for the year end ing March 31, show the total gross profits to be 4119,979.05; total not profits for thbe year $96,069.15; total expenditures, $28,729.90. The ao tory has paid semi-annual dividende of five per cent on the total capital of $500,000, or over 10 per cent pro, t4 'espite the tact that, the inilie lost, six weeks .time in putting inl iew water wheels and making nec, essary changes. The mill as at pro. sent arranged has 22,490 spindle and 504 looms, with room to add 704 spindles and 24 looms. There are 129 tenant houses containin 740 rooms, 118 having been added during the year. A number of cot, tages, houses, outbuildings, stables and mheds have been constricted. A now brick warehouse, with a ea, pacity of 3,000 bales is now being built. Since the first of September 6,000 bales o.t cotton have been. pur. chased from wagons. 'I he total cost of the property has been about $700,000, or which the stockholderis only paid $500,000, the balance be. ing paid by *200,000 of the earningi. The stock is actually worth 1.40 on the books.witbout any contsideration for future prospects. The mill, with 22 496 spindle, aus cost the stock holders but $22221 per spindle. The school, which is a most e ellent private institntion, and .which is supplorted by the Compaiiy, is in a very sati sfactory conditian, and has made mnuuh p~rogr'es.

Whilst we have tw iouse who, on Important q 1a 1)e divided, and that neutalise the 0' each others influence, in the Senate ih but one voice, and that voloson all'oi waatters would be supr me. Besides having, perhaps matters of the most vital Impor tance to the local interest and internal 1m. provement of our County before t * Legis lative body, the year 1884 will nsber in a Presidential campaign, which in all proba. bility will be ftercely contested, and, in view of this, not only pure men, but men of nerve, of decided convictions and fear les action should hold our important of fces. If the scenes of '76 are to be re-en acted we must have experienced Legisla tors, men who know thei rigate and their ,people's rights and, knowing them will dare maintain them at any cost. Such a man is Col. R. E. Bowen. A pure patriot, a clear headed, practical man, an experi enced legislator, a true citizen, a fearless defender of the right, and withal a gentle mnan in the highest sense of that term, Col. Bowen would make us a Senator that we could rely upon In an emergency could point to with pride, and that would reflect honor upon the people and the section he represented. We have tried him In field and in forum and lie his ever proven true to his trust; where the balls tell thickest and the fight raged fiercest his sword Bashed brightest, and when corruption ran highest his virtues proved purest. We know that Col. Bowen is no candidate, and that he couid not accep the positin of Senator without great personal sacrifice, but we have been much among our people of late and we know it to be almost the unanimous wish of our citizens that he consent to let his name be used. We kuow Col. Uowen well and believe that his patriotism is suoh that he will sacrifice his personal Interest for the public weal The people want him and if he will accept he will be eleoted. We know whereof we speak, for this is the sentiment in every sebtion of our County. VOTEBS. The Scriiptural Puzlo. MR.
