ary about this. The answer is furnished
by exporieno and the plaia it and easi
est kiud of a alculatioil. wall what I
is the uRQ of paying anything for the
railroad when we can get it without pay- (
ingl None in the world. But it is very
plain that we will not get such a gre.it
boon without paying for it. If our coun
ty was a dead lovel--no hills to cut 4
through, vialleys to fill and streams to
bridge, wo might iavo such a great. pub- 1
lie convelnieneo leived uponl ut". Railroad
builders have proiltted by the experienee, I
of other. Many fortunes have beei I
wrecked by trying to build them without 3
knowing the cost, aid the consecquencoe
im, they 3oonl slip from the hands of tlt i
builders. But.what earo the coities!
through which they run for this. Thev i
iro never moved away, neither do they '
Hto) running. So it is but. reasonable i
and just for thoe who build i railroad
through a bill country, to the great aId
vantage of the section, to request a divis- I
ion, tW some extent, of the profits t hait
are forever to accrue to that section. Iln
addition to all this, our proposed road
will run through a rich section of farm
itig country, from Belton H. C., to Ash
Ville, N. C., and it is aL dire necessity to
that )ortion of the country n1orth of the
Air Lino railroad.
But what if there is no early develope
ment in the prospect for the comipletiin
L)f the C. C. 0. & C. railroadi Then the
plain business c,urse for Pickens to pur
sue is to raise $40,000, grade, croms-ti i
ad bridge a branch line from Easley to.
Pickens, and turn the work over to the 1
Richmond and Danville to be completed
mid operated by thatt entorprising com
pany. This maiy aill be done in tiv first
six months of next year provided tihe
plain of operations is agreed upon before
the next. session of the Legislature.
Considering all the abovo fact.s, we
may contideitly expiet to have a rail
road to Pickens in the Aear future: We
are not in favor ofdilly dallying with any
One about this matter. We must seize
the first opportunity that offers and work
it for all that is worth.
