Gaffney’s delegation assured the other gentlemen that Gaffney would meet them at the North Carolina line. Some excellent speeches were made, none of which surpassed Senator But ler’s . He told our neighbors in splen did style of the beauties and advant ages of a connection with Gaffney, and he did not exaggerate them either, but simply enumerated. There are people residing in Cherokee county who are absolutely ignorant of what we have, and who have no concep tion of what we are capable o, naving. If nothing come of this proposed railroad, the day will not have been spent in vain by the delegation from GnTnoy, as they sang her praises as only loyal citizen could sing them. We believe, however, that the rail; road will built. Judge Ewart is a me t practical business man, as are also his associates, and they are going about the matter in a businesslike manner. that is the Cleo ”'he construction of this railroad will mean much for the territory through which it will run.
