he Abbe Ille Press and Banner of the
"lust., complains that we misrepresen
ied in our. comments on the following
paragraph taien from that journal:
W'e believe that all Americans are true
to our forms of government, and that no
nat-ter who mnity win the offices, our liber
ties and our piotection in the. pursuit of life,
11berty and happineed Is vouchsafed."
The Presa aad Banner assigns to the
Vreenwood Arg, for its criticisms, "the
orAtolos pleasure'thnt one sometimes re
SIttns fron the covert attempt to do a
eil hb6 an lnjary, ' but says of us, "when
Vens SENTINEL does the same thing,
0 aLL :lossk to assign a reason, except
t possibly may have not read our ar
#lle, and %hs mislead by seeing nothing
T vore than the mere quotations copird and
remarked upon by (lie Saluda Argus. We
cannot believe that the 8ENTINBL is defI.
elent in the ability to understand rensona
bly plain English, and are loth to believe
th;t the editor of that paper would willing
-ly do us an irjuslice. For this reason we
Seel sure that the Pickens SENTINEL did not
read the whole of the article from the Press
and Bainer, which has caused him to nis
represent us, and which has furnished him
a pretext for using langige which ill be
Celms the dignity of a South Carolina edi
tor. When we remember that. the N disre
putable style el controversy, whio../bonsist
ed mainly in assuminig hait idiocy which
ould authorize the aisailing p!ary to mis
onasttue and misinuerpret the simplest lIn
guage of his adversary, hus been abandoned
by ilh better portion of the press of the
btate, we are the moie certain lthat (he
Itor of the l'icken s 8EhrNEL Wrote
article without having read ours."
atI true that we did not read the entire
artile in the Press and Banner. We were
duigthe week it camne out, and as
~ ~ sogested',~Ld clie the paragraph from the
sidhda Ar'gus. Jiad we read the entire
eole we might have concluded, from the
0' ftext,' thmat the P'ress and JBanner did not
K. g en what it said in the paragraph com,
,'uented winby us. We looked for the Press
~sdau~ner in order that we might, readl the
S t~~ixe article, but it had been misplaced or
'o''one had carried it out of the otlice,
Sregret that we did not readi the entire
leand that, we have given our esem
1~~f4~ *Qntelwporary cause to complain of mis
)retsentation or undr'airess on ou ru';
neem-~ friend that, we ofherish no
isi othe contrary,
tnier~tain anvery high regard for the Press
'.fanner and its editors, though we ha~ve
diffeer'd wi'doly with them upon some very
4~ ~ imo4tan public measur es. The p'aragramph
adrconsideration, says the Press and
Banr, was evoked by the contest. then go
gon in Abbuviile for the Democsatic
?harmanship of the County, and had ret'
erence solely to that. matter. If so we
thijk ouir contamporary should have qual
ed his Ianguage. Hie said "we believe
(hat all Americans are true to our forms of
uovernment" &o. This takes in all Anri
can citizenship, without, regard to party,
*coor or "previous condition of servitude."
We do not believe that the Republican par
t-y va organized and cont rolled is "true to
our -forms of' government," but had the
Prese and Banner qualified its language by
saying, "W~e believe all Democratic cit izens
are .true to pur formis of government" &c,
then there~ could have been no misoonstruce,
44on of its neamning and an explanation
would have bedt uwnnecessary:

To the Stockholders of the Atlantic and
Fronch broad Valley URtailroad-Gentlemen,
this day closes the second year since the
comlencement of work on the line of this
road. 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. C
Under special resolutions patssed by the ~
Board of Directors January 17t1h, 1882, 1
was authorized to obtain .ho rightls of Waey g
on the entire line of' road fromn Edgeileld C. u
i1. to the Nor'th Carolina State line. This
work was done duriing port ions of Febru- 8

President J. N. Cochran tlien read the '
following report:
Gen~lemen of thme Convention-In eon.
sequence of the lamented death of your
President Major W. K. 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. The amount and o
haracter of the work and expenditures ut
viil be set forth In detail by the report of iE
he Chief Engineer, which I hope will giye D
general satisfaction as to the present con, .
lition and management of the road. We
ave not succeeded In all instances in ob- cC
aining the right of way. Professed lovers
A
if the enter prise from whom we least ex

"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

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

urely with so many avenues opened up
a wealth and so manty stimulants to prog.

ai this enterprise.
I think, gentlemnen, those of you who
any have been imipatienut or over zealous

At twelve o'clock the meeting
was cated promptly and the report
of Preidet H. 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,

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

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.
