LDING OF SPARTANBURG AND UNION RAILROAD. le Spartanbure and Union rail I was chartered in 1861, with a tal stock of $750,000. Mr. GaI Cannon, of Spartanburg, was first president. He was succeeded 3en. D. Wallace of Union. When D. 'Wallace resigned. Col. John foung was made president. The I was surveyed by Maj. Z. Y. s, chief engineer, George and in D. Peake, and Maj. Davis, of rtanburg. rhen Col. Young took charge 1,000 had been spent on the road, there was then $100,000 worth work unpaid for. By skilful dinacy he managed to get a bill >ugh the legislature authorizing issue of $350,000 in bonds bearseven per cent interest. In his otiations he paid a $63,000 note the company's and the $100,000 ng the contractors and had com pr Illljplrai^ re nt ? IP* 'n LIEUT. JOHN L. YOUNG. JJJ Co. A, 18th Reg. S. C. V. th . th ar pleted the road from Alston to Spartanburg. He had also added to the he rolling stock three locomotives, i\vo Q passenger coaches and several freitrht ,r, cars which he bought jn Columbia w< from the car shops of J. N. Scofieid, who was the father of Mrs. B. G. Clif- W] ford. These were sufficient to do the be business 'of the road. The road tr reached Union October 18th, 1858. at In 1860 Col| Young's patriotism in- so duced him to resign the presidency tii of the road and enlist as a high pri- sj, vate in Col. Scaife's company where he began his service in the Civil War. rl In former days locomotives were named instead of numbered. After the war, the "John L. Young" was ce a well known engine on the road. es Col. Young gives his first week's ty experience as a railroad president, 8E as follows: fe "On the morning after my election w as president, I drove down to Shel- T1 ton's Ferry, reaching there just after K sunset. There was no ferryman to Bi put me across, but soon a boatman lis came across the river in a little canoe, w I ordered my driver to carry my ill buggy to Dr. Simm's at Simmsville cc anu i nirea rne canoe-man to pusn gi me across the river. to "I tramped through the snow, four cu inches deep, to the place now called w, Shelton. There was not a solitary M person to be seen, nor a spark of fire. Being nearly frozen, I took my valise ot and inarched down the graded track he to Lyles Ford, four miles distant. I w had several falls off the embank- ? ment, getting my clothing filled with snow. I was almost frozen and could scarcely walk when I met a negro, and after considerable parley secured his consent to carry my valise. "When I got to Lyles' Ford there was only one light to be .seen on a hill. I went up the hill to the light and knocked at the door and ascertained that this shanty was occupied by Mrs. Gay, the wife of an engineer. Mrs. Gay at first objected to my com- j ing in, as she was entirely alone. ,^Jihe woman's sympathy was proverb- : lal ,and seeing my unfortunate condition finally consented for me to en- j ter and warm at the stove, which was in the center of the room. "While I was drying and thawing Mr. Gay made his appearance about lo i STEPHEN HILL SHELDON. Captain Co. B, 15th Reg. S. C. V. y< ai Ki 10 o'clock, looking a little hostile, but ei we soon raked up an acquaintance. I S{ ascertained that he was running an engine over the five miles of track w laid; that th^ train had run off, and <jj that he had walked to Lyles* Ford, about 15 miles. After rehearsing our p] misfortunes, we were soon on good js terms. We then went to bed, his jr family occupying one corner of the f( room, and I a pallet on a mattress two feet shorter than myself in the (j( opposite corner. The wind was blow- w ing from the north pole through the aj cracks, and I suppose I turned over ni on? hundred times during the night ^ to keep from freezing. ] "The next morning, after an early breakfast, I walked off down the track to the scene of the run-off with rp Mr. Gay and some negro hands I had _ hired at Lyles' Ford. The engine was off, sunk to its boiler in soft mud rp and stiff frozen. /* t "I availed myself of Col. Alston's ^ fence near by, and soon had a fire Knilf o M/\itrt/] 4 U<\ An/viM/v 4/v 4 L uuuw aiv/utiu tuc cn^iiir w viiciw wilt; ^ frozen mud, so as to jack it up." We were all day engaged in getting the j engine up, and walked back to Lyles' Ford, over a very rough country. "The next day we went down with a temporary forge. Giving a basket to a negro I sent him to get some charcoal to repair my broken engine, h. He was gone nearly all day, and s' came back without the coal, saying ** that the man would not let him have ft it unless I sent him a quarter. There S was no help for it, and we had to w walk back to Lyles' Ford to go to tl roost. f "The next morning we went back with appliances, put .the engine on u the track, repaired,the broken irons h d ran hack to Alston with the enne. I then left Alston, wending my ly to Charleston to ascertain our lancial conditions in that city. "I found that the company's note r $63,000, endorsed by the directors, d been under protest for three ys. I stated frankly that I had asrtained from my predecessor here leaving home that there was no >ney in the treasury, and that the mpany was without means to proed. I proposed to Mr. Furman, the esident, to renew the note, and to at extent relieve him from dead par. He very readily conceded to my quest, and consented to renew the >te. About jthis time Mr. John ildwell, president of the South Carina Rairoad, came in and asked me hat I was going to do about payg for the 1000 tons of rails that ! had imported from England for e company. The rails were then ing on the wharf at Charleston. I Id him frankly that I was unable comply with the contract, and that e best that I could do at the moent was to let him take charge of e- cargo, and refund himself by eir sale. He became furiously mad, id we nearly came to blows. "I then went to Mr. George Tren>lm who had imported the rails for ildwell. I was advised by him to > on back, and that everything ould turn out all right. "When I returned home the snow as melting off the ground, and I igan to gather hands to repair the ack. I opened the president's office . Union and went to work to find me way out of the financial difficulss which then beset us on every de." Times Man Visits Mr. C. II. Ilobo.
