THE PLANK ROAD. Two miles of the Greenville
and Raleigh Plank Road completed. and ten miles
from GreenvilIe to Tyer's Bridge-are ready for
the plank. One steam mill is in operation, cutting
at the of 5000 feet per day. Another mill is 60
ing up, and will be ready to commence cutting plank
in few days. 1t is the intention we learn TO keep
both mills in operation both night and day. AT the
meeting of the directors last week, the road from y
er's Bridge to Wlson-27 miles-was put under con-
tract except three sections, the contractors to finish
the road, the company furnishing only the plank the
whole to be completed by the 1st Of April next. Pro-
posals for the three sections not then taken will be
received till the 9th of October, will be seen by
the advertisement in this paper
The plank COSTS the company 81 so per NJ, deliy-
cred on the road ready to lay down. This includes
every thng-the cost of the timber delivered at the
MILL the saving, and the hauling of the plank to the
road This is about SO less per NJ. than the cost of
the plank the Northern roads-or about 800 less
per mile. We have not learned the prices at which

Road through to Raleigh, has just to knowI-
edge. A gentleman residing in Raleigh recently
purcha ed furniture in New York, and found that the
cheapest way (and quick any olher) for him TO
get it home was to ship it to this place, and then
wagon it from Greenyille to Raleigh, though he had
no wagons of his own and had to hire them.
