What we have said in the above par- j
agvaphs refer to Aiken oommercially or t
perhaps more properly seini-politically. 8
There were a number of things we 1
were pleased with. Aiken is a beautifully
situated town ; broad streets and .
fine shad# trees; one of her special
features is her handsome hotel. As a
health resort, she is noted ; the Highland
Park Hotel is celebrated North and
South, and accommodates about three
hundred guests. We had the pleasure
of walking throagh its grounds and
peeping into some of its airy rooms, although
they were in a torn up condition
as they were preparing to open it up
uhoutthe5th of November. There are
other nice hotels here. The handsome
Courthouse building is an attraction to
the town. We heard a gentleman say
"if Aiken only had more rail road facilities,
she might rival.Aiigusta."
There is an active religious element at
work here doing what it c$n against a
a strong opposition. This element manifested
itself on the day o'f the election.
Three ladies, Rev. Mrs. Cuthhert, Mrs.
Drayton and Miss Schofleld, under the
auspices of the ladies Christian Temperance
Union had a stand near tho
polls, and were active throughout the
day, dispensing hot coffee and tea. with

ply for the same, and who can tell how
many this kept away from a worse place.
The ladies were most accommodating ;
there we saw a sign hung up "Prayer
meeting up-stairs from 12 to 1 o'clock."
We heard this most favorably commented
on by the visitors. The head of the
temperancc movement in the State is
located here and our friend Col. Drayton
holds the chief office.
Late Friday evening we again landed
in August* It was with plcasnre that we
met some of our Due West friends. Mr. !
John Sitton, of Due West, is with the |
popular House of Day & Tannahlll, '<

ivell liked by his employers and is lookng
well. Mr. Charles P. Pressley is
located here again, but we failed to see
him. We called on our friends at the
Planters and found Mr. B. F. lirown as
;enial and pleasant as ever. Mr. lirown
moved up from the Globe in May and is
loing a fine business.
On reaching Flodgos we stepped upon

rigin three years ago, nnd its seems to mc
liat in reviewing it these conclusions force
heniselves upon us :
1st. That the Construction Company, has
lot developed the strength implied in the
oligations it assumed and of itself is.powerL'ss
to advance the building of the road.
2d. Notwithstanding the energy, ability
nd fidelity with which he has labored, the
iuaneial agent, embarrassed by a long coninucd
depression in the market for railway
ecurities, and by the failure of the Construe- i
ion Company from its own resources to compete,
as was eomteinplated, a substantial porion
of the road from Aiken northward, has
>ut indefinite prospects of success in his
fforts to place our bonds upon ths existing
tasis of our affairs.
3d. The etforts of the present railway direciou
to supplement the failure of the Conduction
Company and to strengthen the
lands of the financial agent by building and
quipping the South Carolina division of the
ailway at least as far as Abbeville, have not

For the schcnie of construction under
rhich we have been working I am responsive
to the extent .'hat I accepted ofQcc under
t after it hud been adopted by the stocktolders,
and have continued for three years
o endeavor to carry it out. Having lost
aith in its success I cannot, in justice to mvelf
or to those whose interest are placed in
ny.hands, continue the effort. It has had
uy best exertions, working within the limits
described, and I now, with full appreciation
>f the honirt* conferred in putting the charge
>f your interests in my bauds, surrender the

WO CURRKJiTB OK TRADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Since the first settlement of the Atlantic
eaboard there have been two currents of
rade in South Carolina, one setting from
he iuterior to Charleston and one from the
nterior to northward ports. More than a
lundred years ago Charleston had her tradng
outpost iu the Appalachin Mountains
nd iu the Valley of the Mississippi, with
rains of pack horses for her* means of com*
nunication; at the same time beeves were
Iriven on foot from the upper country of
touth Carolina to; the Philadelphia market.
File sled, the wagon and the railways have
luccessiveiy leit una ioiiowea their currents.
Vt one tinm the drift bus be<m strongest tovard
Charleston; lately the northward current
prevails. Since the loss of the control
?f the Greenville Railroad and its tributaries,
every road traversing upper South Caroina,
and', with the exception of ours,
(Very roud there being built is in adorae
interest to our chief commercial
sity. The Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railway is an effort to restore her
mcient supremacy in the trade of the upper
teuntry of the State and to open up a direct
Lnd exclusive connection with the trade Genres
of the West. But it is to be noted that
be localities iu South Carolina which have
ixhibited the most interest in this enterprise
ill lie in this upper country. Aiken, which
done from the beginning refused her aid,
ies below the border, aud the sssistnnce
iroffered by Charleston is to deal comnier:ially
in our securities when presented in
tcccptablc shape.

ion for themselvoe. Already, in oc ntemplaion
of our failure. Pickens is talking of conlectiou
with the Georgia Central system at
Vnderson; Abbeville of an Atlauta connec-ion
by a short western road to a point across
he Savannah; and Edgefield is discussing a
larrow guage to Augusta. This history and
ihese facts are noted not in a spirit of criti:ism,
but as considerations bearing upon the
prospect of our affairs. Whether our enterprise
succceds or fails will be speedily determined.
We cannot stand still without being
jTcrwheluicd in the rush and rivalry of the
lew era of railroad building which is upon
as; and it is to my mind beyond question
lhat 8UCi!ghh can onlv be Hucured bv denimv<*
neasure* taken now. What those measures
ire to be it is for you to decide. Whether,
id he ring to, and perhaps readjusting, your
proaont plans you will continue under nappier
auspices to attempt tboir execution, or
whether you take some now departure
that may show itself at once practicable
and more promising of results, it
is for you to say and "not under the
jirouiuatanoea for me to auggest. I havo
not lost my faith that tbe local interest
of the portions of South Carolina traversed
ire best subvened by the Charleston connection
which we seek. Nor oan I lose sight of
the direct oonneetion with the fertile ralloy
jf the French Broad, the wonderful mineral
region of Bast Tennessee} the cosl fields of
Kentucky, and the rich praries of tho West.
In the exchange for their^jtroducts those of
