q" GREENWOOD has it seems prufel but little
from The good advice we give him, when he repeats
that ". have contributed to the Road nothing but
" fuss arl complaint" lie SAYS he has examined
the Bouks and the evidence is against US. We ask
him 10 make the second examination, as he has the
Books at his own command, and remove the mist
from his eyes, if he is not afraid Of being fly
bown.' at the sight Of onr name.-he will there
find the "widnw's mile'' contributed by PIHEr
WooDs.' He mag be unable to make the dscovc-
ry, but receipt will show that were among
the first, in this. Abbcvlle District, that paid one
cent towards the building of the Grccnv.c Rail
Road.
As to the citizens of Elscfrld, Mr. EDIroR, we
know they are lglr minded anl honorable people:
and il comes with bal grace from "GGEyNwoop,'
when he ilkcs the charges against them, that they
rrpnlatc a enterprises whether they pay or not,
and with e mastery inactivity" wait for Others to
do its appropriate work. We ask " "GREENwooD"
wl rr 'l!l the patronage come from (lhe money! in
hnl!in. up the Schools in the Town Of Greenwood.
Of which lie boasts so much We answer Edge
field. What influence, more than another, laycd
the fonnla,n Of hat classic soil l." or OF maud
ing that more 'valulblc cnn' he speaks OF, viz:
"rcliron moray temperance tcratur" and sci
cncc?" We answer from the District Of Edgclrld.
Yet they lag hack AMI wait for others 10 lo its work.
As to the Aiken Road we have no doubt bm,
"GnEExwooD,' would be pleased to sec that high
toned bcray again manifested by her people
pEmking down their dimes towards the building Of
the R"al. he ought To have sense enough t" know
that E,lgriirld. nor no other people, fool,
enough to take Stuck in 4 Company that will not
pa: more than fifty cents to the dolar-at least we
understand that to be about the full va'uc-and at
the same time be responsible for the debts OF the
Company. GRExSwnops" situation reminds lis
of The fox that LIST his TAIL Having been caught in
the trap himself (hr Grccnvillc Rail Road hc can
moi be content with the citizens Of El ccfc.d until
they are caught also. But all my dear friend, they
are not to be caught in that trap.
We will end, avor to hold " "GREEHwooD' to the
correctness Of the Kate Fowler survey, and the ac-
curacy of figures slippery rs he is, as he claims
the right now Of speaking twice, that our figures
hold good or he has male no attempt TO gainsay
them. IIr thinks he hus us by the car where he
say, the ciltct ul the Branch i4j mils) will raise
the price of surplus lanls $500 year, aud advises
u prudent degree Of caution in receiving our opin-
IONS Well really: it is aughablc 10 think that
man Of " GEEESwooD's'' prctrnsions, did not make
the discovery that the $500 year WAS ,ypograph-
;cal error and should have been 5000 year, as
i'll the ori .ina manuscript.
Let us take the admonon lie has given us, and
by the WAY, he would profit by taking it himself,
and hook beyond the corporate limits Of Nncty-SiS,
and what do we see He says, We behold the Town
Of Anderson claiming the honorable distinction Of
being the upper terminus Of the Grccnville and Co.
unlbia L;ail Road" But stop Mr.. " GREENWOOD"
perhaps when you get the mist from your eyes, You
find, much Ia Your dscom'iurc, that Anderson IS
not the upper terminus Of the Grccnvilc Rail Road.
Now, Mr. EpIToR we are done, rs neither the
illusions Of " GREsNwooD" n"r pISEY WooDs,'
arc likely lv put the world Oh fire.
