route Of the proposed Rail Road from
Greenvile to Columbia, augers we'll fox
The success Of the enterprise. 1t was
stated in The letter Of a very respectable
citizen Of Newberrry, which we publish.
ed Two weeks since, that that District
would subscribe 100000 to the Stock
If she does this, eau it be doubted thar
the citizens of Greenville, who are more,
deeply interested than any others on the
route, will take an equal amount?--
Greenville can and ought TO do il, and
with little help from Henderson and
Buncombe Counties, we feel confident she
will do it. There is not The slightest
doubt in our mind, that if three ffths of
the stock is su bscribed, the State will
the remaining two-6lihs. The bill intro
duced al The late session of The Legisla-
lure, 10 authorize The State to take two-
6(ths of the stock in any Rail Road within
The State. when three ffths shall have
been subscribed, failed, for the reason that
il was too general in ila character. Let
any particular road be specified, after
three 6fhs of the stock is taken, and our
word for it, the Legislature will moi hesi-
tate 10 pass bill authorizing the State to
lake The remainder. Let il never be said
that this undertaking. SO vital to our pros-
periIy, has failed for the want Of little
of that energy and enterprise which have
become so characteristic Of our sister
State Of Georgia. II would be reproach
and disgrace to The people Of our State,
and would tend to discourage them from
attempting it again Tor many years.. It
does seem TO us that The tide 10 our affairs
is now at its food and we shall soon be
called upon to decide whether, by avaiIing !.
ourselves of it, we will glide onward,
with rail road speed, TO wealth and great-a
nets, or stand in shameful Incidence where
we are, OF. perhaps retrograde. ~
We hope and trust that those who have
been 80 liberal in their professions of
willingness TO aid in the good work. when
they are called upon to manifest that :
willingness in more palpable. aud sub
lial manner, will no, be found wanting.
