The me.'linif was presided over hv Ion. B. K, Nicholson, and was atcinlcd by tli.' committee fnan Kdyei.'lil and several other points. We ire satisfied, however, that Saluda \ i 11 become interested ami is now nlerested in lliis proposed line. It was an earnest meet inn composd of earnest men and we believe will e.-ult in something- beinu done towards the buildiiiL- ol' this proposed 1 rolley line. Of course the meet ill!; itis largely I'or the purpose oi' talking >ver the situation and puttinu' mat- 1 ers in shape so that some definite ac- 1 ion mitthl be taken. The Newberry ' ommittee was most cordially receiv <1 by the people ol' Kdticlield. and r. in expressions, which we heard on J II sides, we are satisfied, as we have I icretof'ore said, that the sentiment of Id'jelield is decidedly in favor of 1 i:il;i;nr the main line of this propos- | d road via Newberry. Of course af- I r .Iial is dime it will be easy a id I ill be the proper Ihiin* tit do to exend branch lines t'o wards I'luni I baiitdi. (ireeuwood and other points, i ill I lie lirst thin*; to coiisitler is to 1 el the main line. The resolution 1 k'hich was adopted is probably the < est ihiii'i thai eiMihl have been done I nd about I lie only tiling that this 1 oiiference couhi th>. We have tin 1111bI that the trolley ' 1 ie out Ironi Augusta will be ulad lo oi'peralc in the buibliu!* "I llii< road.

In addition to tin* committee, which Hi - appointed to take I lie mailer up rilh these two corporation.-, the commit ees from the various sections hrou'.ih which it is proposed to run he road were instructed to secure in'ornialion as to population ami protable business which could be submit ed to those who mi*>'ht undertake to mild this line. As soon n- these coinnil tees perform their work another oiiference will be held mid probably construction company will be form.1 and secure rights of way and start lie building of the road. The Kdoeliehl people were exceednuly cordial in their reception of the sewberry delegation.

Mr. { - Sligh who is now the pastor of the I 1 church had served it as pastor many . d - years ago.
