Mi The Harlwell ^ pretty good ou big tal s, and if it i&y'caroful it will shake the confidence of Vj its most credulous readers. Here'is ofcfC find in its last is? sue; ."Is it reason oWinct ? A few years ago there were an awance of squirrels in this county, but as s\ as the farmers quit making grain' the so^jis emigrated west to the grain country.! gentleman told us recently that he kille^ high as three hun? dred in one., day writhe exodus com? menced. He said abt Daniels' ferry on Broad river, which y the direct route ?West, there was an eddV,\ace ;n the river where a large pine thlgfc had died out, and the round pieces \ bark that had slipped off the trees ccLtf the ground. The squirrels would dnL piece of bark to the river, and two or Yee -would em? bark on ifr, hoist their Urfor sails, and cross the river without tr^le in safety." That's pretty hard to swiw< but Hart well is in the direction wheV comes start? ling stories. \ Capt. Joshua Burriss, of thr>ark Corner, now 73 years old, has been ortpf the most successful farmers the countyu ever had, and has always adhered to ucustoni of the pioneer settlers of our couVy in rais fng his own bread and meat.we has al? ways regarded the policy of ra^jg cotton to the exclusion of the food bducts as unwise and short-sighted, and Wcs it as his opinion that the South whiter at? tain to that degree of prosperity |fch her capabilities make possible until otigrieul tural interests are more diversified.^ has been farming 53 years on his own W>unt, and during that time has never light a bushel of corn nor a pound of meatfat to the contrary, has always sold both <*hese articles in greater or less quantities At one time he paid the largest tax of anWn in the Corner, owning over 2,000 ac* of land and fifty odd slaves. He lost aWe amount" of property by .the results ofW war in addition to his slaves, but moreir tunate than many of his countrymenVe had a competency left him, and has cor?, quently escaped many of the hardships tlfc have been, the lot ot'iso many others. fc made all he has ever possessed by hard labet has kept out of debt and never paid a cen of interest on borrowed capital in his life] ^n?"d??bt,"howevcr, in our judgment, that His record is a good one, and we commenq a iarge majority of the taxpayers, and especially * 'o the; " consideration'of the rising generation location, it should be promptly confirmed-. The Board take pleasure in testifying to the abil? ity, 'energy and fairness with which the surveys have been conducted by Maj. Thos. B. Lee, Chief Engineer, and tn the working qualities of his corps of assistants. , , After adopting the route, determining tbe loca? tion, and ascertaining that convict labor was not to be had, in response to the demands of the friends of the enterprise upon the line that the work of grading the' road should be commenced, and there being about 811,000 of taxes paid in, the Board began to considei tho feasibility of com? mencing the grading, and In what manner it should be conducted. Finding it inexpedient, to conduct the work themselves, and after advertising for bids, tbey succeeded In February last in letting a contract for grading the first twenty miles 8o;ath of Andorson to Messrs. Jones & Wiles, cf Ander? son County, on what they regard as very favorable terms. These gentlemen went to work tbe las4, of March with commendablo earnestness, ?.nd not? withstanding the difficulty of hiring labor at that season of the year, have made fair progress, grad? ing up to this time about five miles or road, and showing no abatement of their zeal and detennl nation to work out their contract. The estimated cost of this contract is something over SW.00o, and the conlrr/jtors expect to finish it by the firsr, of November next. Tho esUmatcs for grading the remainder of the line has not yet been handed in, but from approximate estimates made upon the prelimiuary survey, the Board have reason to hop1* tbat the amount subscribed, if it can be husband? ed for this purpose, will be nearly, ir not quite, sufficient to grade tho entire line, especially if the remainder oi the grading can be let ou as favora blo terms as that now under contract. They have within tl.? Inst month invited proposals or bids for the grading of the balance of the lino, but up to tho time of submitting this report no definite bids ha?o been received. , - The Board feel that they cau congratulate the Convention upon the success which have attenclod their efforts in securing rights of way for tho road. Rights of way have been granted by deed without compensation for tbe entire distance, with the >jx ceptlon of some bIx or seven landowners along r.ho line, and from some of these hopes arc entcrt-hied that rights of way will yet be granted; and thus an obstacle often attended with vexatious litiga? tion und delay has been almost entirely rcmovsd. Allusion has already been made to the amend? ment of the Charter passed at the last session of the Legislature, authorizing a connection of our rotd via Edgofield with the South Carolina road at Alken. The Board of Directors have well under? stood from the beginning tbat they had no author? ity to accept this amendment to the Charter, and they have taken no official action looking to that end. And in view of the opposition existing in Anderson County to tbe payment of tho taxes, and of the recent disaffection developed in Abbeville County, the Board seriously question the propriety of its adoption by the stockholders at present.

Tbe Position oi the Temperance Men. At the meeting of the citizens of the town who are opposed to the liqner traflic on Tnesday evening, the following preamble and resolutions were reported by the com? mittee appointed at a previous meeting to consider the propsr steps to be taken to best secure an expression of the will of the citi? zens of the town in regard to the further granting of license for the sale of spirituous and malt liquors by the town authorities^ and adopted: Whereas, we believe the citizej?e?r;i the town of Anderson should^Tfo the oppor? tunity of expressijjjj^rYTi will on the sim? ple questiona^*wnether license should be. granted>f*r?e town authorities for the sale jfs^ffenous and malt liquors; and whereas,: Ve believe a free and candid expression oi* their will can be best secured by having a. a separate election on the question, at which the electors of the town can vote for or against license, as their judgment may die t?te; therefore, Re3oieea\ That while we are the liquor traffic in any shape c shall use "every legitimate efS power to put a stop to it the samr fti 1 tfrlWMHTll M3WMmmm^[m> and ! in our town, at on of a ticket pal officers to be known as a "Dry Ticket" is, in our opinion, unadvisa lucted-1 ble, and we agree to make no such nomina? tion: Provided, the Town Council provide an eleition to beheld two or three days sub? sequent to the election for Intendant and Wardens, for the purpose of ascertaining the will of the citizens of the town in re? gard to the further granting of license for the sale of intoxicating liquors, and that the Democratic Club of the town put a ticket in the field pledged to be governed by the result of said election. tmpany for this purpose, from int ?resnoudence held with individual members of tt Board, the people of Edgefield fed a lively in teW Id the extension of our road to their village, thke to connect with their railroad to Aiken, and ba\ expressed a willingness to have the necessary surw made. To this may bo added that individ? ual limbers of the Board have received information that\duccd them to believe that should the parties latnnted in the securities of the South Carolina Roiled effect the purchase of that road on the 2Sth ajuly next, as now contemplated, offers of mateill aid will be made by them for the final coiupUiou of our road, If extended to Aiken,S.

Convention of tbe Stockholders or the S. v. K. it. Company. Pursuant to a call of the President and Eoard of Directors, a convention of the stockholders of the Savannah Valley Rail? road met in Lowndesville on Thursday, 30th June, and was organized by the elec? tion of Maj. E. B. Murray President, and John E. Breazeale, Esq., Secretary. Delegates from all the townships that subscribed to the capital stock of the Com? pany, except Centreville in Anderson coun? ty, were enrolled as delegates, after which the report of the President of the Com? pany was read, as follows: To the Convention- op Stockjioldees of the Savannah Valley Bailkoad Company : On tbe 12th day of November, 1879. the representatives of the Townships that had subscribed to the capital stock of tbe Savannah Valley Railroad Company met at this place, adopted a set of by-laws for the Sovernment of the Company, and elected a Presi entand Board of Directors. The by-laws fixed the time of the annual meeting of the stockhold? ers for Wednesday after tho second Monday in No? vember, and by a resolution of tho Convention, Anderson C H. was named as the place foi the next annual meeting The Townships that bad subscribed to the capital stock oi the Company failtd to elect delegates to the annual meeting in 1ss0, and the time passed without a convention o:' the stockholders. In consequence of this failure to hold the annual mee'ing and to elect a new President and Board of Directors, the present Board, unler the the charter and by-laws, have held over until their successors could be elected. Your by-laws givo to the Board the power to call special meetings of the stockholders whenever they might deem it necessary to do so, a power which, for several reasons, they have not thought it prop? er to exercise until now. At your last meeting (in November, 1S79) you re? quested the President by resolution to procure ?n amendment to the Charter, authorizing a connec? tion with Edgefield, and thence with Aiken. Ow ng to lbs failure to get the bill through the Legis laturo in December, 1879, this was not accomplish ed until the last session, (December, 1880.) It was also considered desirable in the inception of our enterprise that we should, if possible, procure con vict labor tc do the grading. Having failed to pro^ cure convicts from the Board entrusted with the hiring of them on applications made in 1880, re? sort was had to the legislature at the last session with no better result. And moro than ail, in tbe early Fall ol' last year certain taxpayers, residents of the different Townships in Anderson that had subscribed to the capital atock of the Company, formed an organized opposition to the payment of tho taxes, and threatened to institute a suit or suits in the Courts to test the validity of the tax. Such suit waj imminent during the time of hold, ing the Courts of this Circuit, and have been more or less so ever since; and not only checked, by its influence, the general pavment of taxes for the ;*? question as to whether the City ' jiidl of Greenville shall longer grant tie tor the sale of liquor is now being ' 3* >an(* w^ ^e s^1^ afc the election ??fayor and Aldermen on the 8th of 'f st^ 'The present Council has refused Stent the question to the voters of the at a separate election from that for tjh'cers, and tbe indications are that will' be "Wet" and "Dry" tickets \ted and the question tested in that ,he discussion on both sides of the is waxing warm, and both sides lent of success. in?tm: When Newt R. used to )ld Fort Hill engine on the Blue ; wtilroad from Anderson, S. C, to I^inalla, there was a cut near Perryville "deep the top of the cars were not visible passing through, and a flock of goats 3used themselves in jumping from bank gjak over the cars. One morning in the ?y month of May there was a lady pas p^er aboard with a baby and a colored The lady was sleeping with an open >w at her side. The nurse bad the in ber arms. One of the goa?ts in missed his calculation of distance line, but rendered it inexpedient, in th* Judgment of the Board, to enounter its force in the prlniarv mcetings preliminary to the Convention of stock? holders. They hesitated to call these meetings in tho face of so determined an opposition; and hav? ing in the meantime addressed themselves to cvery legitiraatc expedfent to q-iiet and, if possible, re? move it, they are gratified to be able to say that much of It has been overcome, Rnd that, in their judgment, a better and more hopeful feeling pre? vails in regard to the future of the road. No suit has been brought by tho taxpayers in Ander son, and the Board now entertain the hope that none will he. Moreover, the Board having in tho Summer of 18S0 commenced the work of surveying and loca? ting the road, desired to be ablo to report the com pletion of this part of tho work to the next Con vention of tho stockholders. The survcv and final location has been recently completed", but the Board regret that it has not been accomplished without creating dissatisfaction among certain tax? payers in Calhoun Township, in Abbeville County, as to the line adopte? through that Township. Upon the preliminary survey made of this part of the road in tbe Summer of 1880, as many as three routes were surveyed intersecting the Greenwood &Ain :sta Railroad at different poiuts?the Wes? tern or Mt. Carmcl route, the middle or Kennedy route, and the Intern route. When Maj. Lee, the Company's Engineer, was ready to submit bis re? port of the survey, a full meeting of the Board of Directors was held at Anderson on the 23rd day of July, 1880, when, by previous notice and invitation, several gentlemen from Calhoun aud Bordeaux Townships interested in these different routes, were present to advocate tho claims and adrauta ges of each. Aflor hearing their views fu.ly, and after considering the advantages of each of these three routes, both upon the report of the Engineer and upon free inquiry of tbe parties present, tbe Board reached tho conclusion that the Western line combined more advantages than the other two lines, and finally adopted it; making it, however, a condition of its adoption that the taxpayers or citizens of Bordeaux Township to be benefited by the line should secure to tbe Company an addi? tional subscription of $5,000, which tbey did bv a well-secured bond, one-third of which has li?en paid to the Treasurer of tho Company. In view of the opposition which tbe adoption of _ this line has developed among the advocates and friends of the middle " ^hecompany^a^y^n _ paid out to Mess^To^S'JS?;5 for grading the road bed, and $2^ )Vle3 surveying and other contingencies l8Lfor a balance on hand of $9,344.59. In aiffltW to this sum the Treasurer says there is in the hands of the Treasurers of the town and county of Anderson about $1118 making about $10,462 available to the Com? pany at this time. The report' was referred to a committee consisting of E. J. Earle, H. H. HarDer and P. K. McCully. p r Maj. T. B. Lee, Chief Engineer, then sub? mitted his report, giving information con? cerning tho location of the road, which has been carried within two miles of the G. & A. R. R.
