We note withl interest the result of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap :nd Chicago Rail Road, which was held at Aiken Court House lastt week. For some time general intere4 il this new enterprise had apparently been1 waning but a bri-iiter day dawned upon it, and Pickens County might well feel grate. ful to a few of her noble sons, who, by their thrift and ernergy, have helped to bring about such flattering signs of sue cess. While Greenville so strongly contested for the main line of the road she met her iatch in the ever-pro gressive County of Pickens. She was confronted by ien, too stalwait-like to be bul'ed oll' by every stentoriau ery, and was attempting to secure wil b too vain a hope, a deflection from the al tog(ether natiral route. We desire every 11aderl of THE MESSENGER to notice particularly the article oil the first pag1fe enititled, "More ecua ging."' The report of the (lairmani of the delegation sent by Greenville to Aiken, is in substance. included in it. T1h2. hope of Sec1riing" thle( i main linle of the roatd, by our neighboring eity, hs become a forlorn hope. We have the road, and tmay expect to see its Com pletiol, at 110 very distallt day in the future. Thle thriving little town of Easley may yet become the Atlanma of South Carolina. She may be the ter minus for the Savannah Valley roal, and after all be made the dist ribit in point, which evidently she shuiild he. Let Easley congratulate herself on the fact, that Col. B. E. Bowen, one Of her most worthy men, has heien elected Vice-President of the' road. In this enterprise he has known no such wordl as fail. In the darkest mo ments of desp)air', hope found its exist ence ini his heart. lie was the first to initiate the muuscular movement, and~ will Ae the last to lnd his very p)otenit influence to this grand scheime. lie saysV 'ude have the roadl now if we (10 not go to sleep. See to itevery body, that his hands are upheld in tiis matter, and show your appreciation of him, who takes such aln interest ini you and in your future welfare. WE niotice in the "Greenville News" of the 18th instant, a groundless piece of sarcasm from the would-be tren chant pen of a correspondlent from Looper'~s Postofflee, in this County, who, under the cover of a unom de plume, gives prominenee to a tr'vial error to be found in the back numbeu' of THE MESSENoER. H e cloaks him self in a fictitious name, and with a full knowledge of tihe fact that the er ror was an oversight on the part of the editors and printers, he attempts a poor play at sarcasm. But like all men of his type, he imust have an out let, or else thue wvorld might conclude that he has beeni llrowned( in the poo01 of insignifleance. However, from the pen of "Sigma" there yet may spring a production that shall tell posterity of is fame. The following is whnt he had to sny colecrinlglo the Churi-ch 1ittory I se' by t'he Churchil~tory in the -ESSENO,% (Easley, S.

I hope the MESSENGER will tell us how it sueedeeus. If it does het terl than the1 old Way (InI the! morning)1(v others may follow. ' emral News. Th up-passengei on the C. & G. R.
