NICHC | BANK THE NEW RAILROAD MAY TOUCH UNION.| SURVEY THROUGH UNION THE BEST' MADE. Surveyors Think This the Cc>t Route?! Road to be From Goal Fields of Virginia. KeNtuGky and :. West Virginia. c Mr. Walker, assistant and son ; of Chief Surveyor A. C. Walker, , k _ was in Union Monday morning- 1 and talked freely to liie reporter; * about the new road from Elk- i" horn, Ivy., to the coast. The i surveyors have about comnlet.erl their work from Spartanburg to ^ Carlisle and report the best sur- j 1 vey yet made. As has been pub-: fished, the route from Elkhorn j to Spartanburg has beeli laid out | and adopted, so the remainder of i the line from Spartanburg to the 10 coast is all that remains to be ' *, definitely decided upon. Other | surveys from Spartanburg south- i ward have been made, but the i cost of these routes will be, some i I1 over twice, and all much greater j, than the route through Union, i ,N Five streams have to be crossed ix) this way and only one 4-inch \ curve made; this is very re- ^ ^ , W5arivai>ie when we think of the ivv ^ Soutnervl's ro?d with ?u ; .* ^i ties ancl an 8-mcli curve right, here at Main street m Union. , There is still much doubt about the course of the road, and Union ' ^ is not sure of it yet. Here are! the alternatives: "if they take in n Augusta, the road is more likely ^ to run from Spartanburg via: q Laurens to Augusta; ii Columbia, j 1 ; . I. ? ' - Dlcl 1^ IU './U itiivcii 111, tiicn | through Union the road will run i V ?so say the surveyors. The parties leave this vicinity j sometime during the week fori. Greenwood and Spartanburg, ! j from which.places they will work ! toward Laurens.. Much interest is manifested by ; the several towns and cities in i' this part of State over the route i f of the road, since it will mean j2 much to any place. It is to con-j ' nect the vast coai fiields, 300,000 acres, of Virginia, Kentucky and 1 West Virginia with the coast? probably Charleston, S. C. The j1 road has been guaranteed the hauling of the entire product of 1 these mines; this, with the pas- , senger tralhc, will make a large , enierprise. It is a rather strange fact, but | { no one knows the projectors of:; this South and Western road; or!( at least the engineers are not at 1 liberty to make them known. It : io rfanornllu ii nrli>rs;tfinrl. how *0 - , ever, that a New York corporation is to build it.

This city ottered ,, 20 acres of land and $4,000 cash. : ,| ; is likely that Florence will get I g) ie reformatory. 1 The ladies have done this! ^ inch, but they are now striving ^ i do more. Mrs. Patterson, ot c Ireenville, the lamented presi-! j ent of the Federation, desned;^ nd worked for a special feature j or the reformatory, which trie ^ iegislature could not give.

It marks , lother step in the path to an , 'n'1 :reement and probably a deli- dre te organization to govern 1 lie 1 the pply and demand of this great i '' maiodity, cotton; and such an ' h reement is only just, for hero-j 01'r * fore there has never been any- 1 ing definite on either side. ' cba le spinners never kn - v h > v j niik ich cotton they would be abie an i buy nor the growers how much ' 1 ( sir cotton would bring. Furth-1 st 01 nore, the growers have never ^ 'ai d a voice in the price and cor-, nier nly they should havef his right, tain e laborer has his price for la-j 'r ; the merchant his price for , ' s nevei , 1 pc oduce; he has had tiri\l\:k|>v e otter of the consumers after is offer had been tinkered and t to suit speculators. Now,the n is to balance supply and de- f'GL and. eliminate speculation and ; a fair price, one profitable to tii grower and consumer. This n fere nee in Washington has. >ne much in paving the way lor ch a settlement.

Be re this the growers thought the m<V linners were striving to give as ;tle as possible for cotton, and yea ic spinners thought the grow- am s wanted too high a juice, the ow they understand, and this 1 nderstanding is fatal to the specators. The sentiment of both ]jOI des was against this third party, Qri io speculators, and both were ^ ' ud in their denunciation of y-', lem. Direct sale to the con- 'c imer is what both desire. Here is Hie proposition: the linners are willing to buy direct \V;i om the growers and pay the \V;i ght price if the growers can fa- \V;i ilitale the transactions.
