Mr.. EDrroR Out CONS 1lNEY WOODS" again
ON the 18th inst, under alleavy I" lash' to use his
own phrase, and not unac in speed the old time
racers who always stop at the half way stand, take
drink of whiskey, and ten reach the goal before
night, before the ;nxious spectators had left
for home: Time, 90 days.
| At the first dish he tums his heels rs usual to
bcspattcr the faces of the citizens of Greenwood
and at the first turn, from ignorance Of the Road
came near boiling to his native forest but after re-
covering from his perplcxhy: hepursurd the uneven
tenor Of his way, and whipped through exactly
where he started. Omnis spcs tugit in fatu "
"PIyEY WooDs" is certainly Il very incorrigiblt
fellow; he is either too stubborn to acknowledge it.
or too unac9uainted with the science Of war, IL
know when he is whipped. When he made the
wonderful discovery that the article Of "GaEES-
ought to have stopped short, thrown back upon the
author the odum of using obscure and s,nsclcss
language, and upon the Editor rcproacll for having
published communication which PiNEY Woups' ~
acknowledged ability, to some extent, could not
comprehend, and thereby have saveG himself the
labor not of bona fdc accouchment, but the pains
Of vcritabc abortion. ".Par"rinnt monies nasci-
tur ridiculuS mus" hope "PlNEY Woops' will
not grow angry at my Latin quota"rS for it is just
as natural for & man living on the classic SOL Of
Greenwood to write in that language as it is to
speak it.
"pISEY WOODS says" that citizens Of Greenwood
will engage in enterprise for fear il won't pay"
To give the color Of talh TO the charge, would
respectfully suggest u slight amendment, only the
substitution of Ejgcirld for Greenwood. 1t is too
notorious to be gansayed that that District IF which
"PIHEY WOODS" constitutes Il Part Of the integral,
regulates all enterprises. whether ll1cy pay.or not,
and with "nlstcry inactivity waits for others To do its
appropriate work. This charge then CONES with
poor grace from one living in glass house. Let
linn not throw stones again at his nc;shbors. If he
will only lay aside all his antifuate' histories and
study those of later date, GREENwooD' would
appear TO l in new light. and he would blush To
make sucI N assertion, even iii the presence of Il
sclool boy The citizens Of that place have engaged
in more enterprises than "PlSEY WooDs'' ever
heard Of and they have always too had the sense
to make them pay, not merely in dollars and cents
(hc great and only induccmcnt which = PiNEr
WooDs' seems to have to engage i'll his first enter
prise, the Aiken road, } hut in y coin much more
valuable, religion morality, temperance, literature
and science.
BY The suggestion of "PIxEY WooDs." | have
examined the books Of the Company and find that
they contain no evidence OF his having contributed
even the widows mite" towards the building of
the Grccnvic Road AS his own witness then is
against him, must repeat that his contributions to
the Road have been " fuss and conpaint.' As
= PINEY WooDs" progresses he gives his reasons
for pcnning the article Of the 18th March: " We
were influenced BY no other motive than to answer
the many enquiries bcore u.s. ltispcItccty natu
raj that all enquiries for information with regard to
the Aiken branch, should 60 10 the Bureau Engineers
on Kate Fuwlcr's Branch, Of which he constitutes
the chief; but he certainly divrrgrs widely from his
purpose and prostitutes his duty t" the chief object
Of attacking the citizens Of Greenwood. Where is |
VIC VI tHe TlaTy eHlulIlSo hi'S"Situ IllS
however have not lost much for il he
knows no more of the effects of Rail Roads than to |
suppose that this Branch " fory-livc miles, in
ength "wil raise the price Of surplus hands to
$500 year." | would advise them To receive his
opinions with prudent degree Of caution, his sur
'cy of Kate Fowlcr's Branch and array Of figures
to the contrary Notwithstanding 1t is true there
y be demand for more hands, but here are sur
illus" ones says" PIyEY WOODS" really for the exi
,cncy. BY what law then, the mere bringing them
nto rcqusition, is TO s,curc for thcm and for them
specially, the enormous wages Of $500 year, sur
asses my comprehension 10 say the least, it stag
crs my credulity.
PlNEY WooDs" very quickly endorses one Of
ny admissions which is rather in communication OF
innsclf, being recently initiated into the views Of
he Company" Oh yes . oh yes! know all men by
lesc presents, eve acknowledge the corn Of our
litiaton." But stop awhile my dear sir, and allow
n lrishman the privilege of speaking twice. You
lust then unacknowcdgc the corn, for the Book is
variance with my admission. Permit me then by
lie Books authority, so to modify my admission as
read thus, "'PIyEy Woops' never having been
tated into the views of the Company, he knows
othing Of the object and necessity Of the Aiken
oad" I
