To the Editor OF tie Edgef,d Adoectisr
SIa-Your paper OF the 2lst ult., contains
"a strange statement, viz. there are strong
Z doubts, ,ohethcr tho road from ColumJiato Green.
: yile pilL be built"
One would think from the organization of
the Company, the appointment Ola most eff
cient Brigade FOR The survey, and the active pro-
secu!ion. oft for. more than % miles from CO.
lurnbia and the probability, that in less than 30
days from this time, the direct line will reach
Greenville, that there was very little room to
doubt, that the road will be built.
u. i can assure your correspondent no pains
will be spared to build the road, and that as
speedily as possible; and hope, :" if he be
good friend to Rail Roads, that he will at least,
give the Greenyle and Columbia Rail Road
I the benefit oshis good report.
