of the contemplated Rail Road from Aiken to

to tie capital stock. Of The road. Is there no
ono man in this community, whose business it
is, or who is sufficiently interested in this mat.

and where the books may be opepedl We
know not what we can do until wye have made

Without even notifying the citizens Of the Dis

we sit down quietly with the sceplre within

1t is to be hoped that some Of our leading

want captain-a new general. II is not ne.

affords me pleasure to say, Mr.. Editor, that
