t hi- -ce! ion through an eloquent
and forcible speech by Mr. Doug
lass.
This road is fad assuming deli
nil,--itapo. Abbeville is wild with
enthusiasm, and so with every sec
tion through which it i- proposed
to pass. While Chester i> now
burdened with a considerable rail
road tax, .die has pla-cd all her
money in narrow guage roads,
w hich, ns is reported, are entirely
unsatisfactory, and she is now
willing to hear lier share in aid of
this enterprise. Th" general senti
ment of Hie meeting seemed tobe
in favor ol' making thc <'.,('. v A.
Ku il road of tho standard guage.
We have from t!ie Hrs! looked
with favor upon (his enterprise.
A road from Athens, Cu., lo Mun
roe, N. C., would not only hi ing a

but, crossing the stream - ns H does,
running neross all existing line-, it
w ould afford an Independent pro
tection against railroad monopo
lies. Mi-. ItoiiKUTSox, tho great
railroad man ol* North Carolina,
who doubtless would have built
this road several years ago, hut for
Iiis misgivings as to the effect of
our Hail road Commission, has given
assurance ol" his hearty co-opera
tion, and taking Iris liberal propo
sition, together with (he interest
manifested along the line, we can
safely look for the completion of
the road ns an event ol' the near
future.
< > 11 behalf of the Clinton, delega
tion, Dr. W. A. SHANI) reported
that Laurens County would not be
found wanting when called upon
for material aid. lie assured the
meeting that aside from other eon
considerations, ho could positively
assort that the throe townships
through which it runs would grade
the road through their territory.
Dr. J. li. M [M.Kit, in behalf of the
Cross Hill delegation, made a tell
ing speech, in which ho recounted
11.e advantages of his section. He
spoke ol' tho general prosperity of
Cross Hill, and mentioned thal
they had the bes I building for com
mon school purposes in the County,

lt is n mistaken idea lotbink that
tho size of a town eau lie inca? ti red
by tho number of its railroad.;, nor
will ii do to suppose thal because
Laurens ha i ul ready two new roads,
we can alford to sit idly and see
our advantages wasted.
We attended the railroad meet
ing in Columbia, nof in the interest
id' Laurens specially, hut as a specta
tor, and from (ho facts there de
veloped, we fool safe in saying that
of all similar enterprises now in
contemplation in this Slate, we be
lieve the road from Georgia to
North Carolina, via Abbeville and
Other points in Ibis State, will be
first to reach a completion. This
conclusion is founded, not alone
Upon the enthusiasm Of persons in
terested along the line, but upon
statements that como directly from
thc highest railroad authority.
The road is n necessity and will bo
built. This much is certain. Now
Hie question arises as to the dif
ferent routes. Upon this point
nothing seems settled, except, that

Carolina, ure to bo Lie obj CC ti Ve

to tho lower section of nor County,
and, of course, preferable to Hie
other t onto. Hut by placing a rule
??n tho map, from Athen? to Mon
roe, we sro that Lau rons C. ll. is
almost on a direct line. Laurens
would ho tia? must practicable rout i
and would lifer groat advantages
to Hie road. Yet, even in view ol'
these facts, what arr ?..?<. tlofnyi

Escaped Without Trini.
A man al Hook Hill was recently
arrested upon the charge ?'f coun

such a nature as to establish a
strong case against him. '? np
