: AS we have all along declared, we should
be pleased to see the enterprise carried out,
even though the road Gas last resort)
should be forced TO cross our borders and
empty its treasures into the lap of another
(but sister, State. IF we remember rightly.
at the last session Of the Legislature, when
State aid was invoked, objections were
urged upon this very ground. We frankly.
admit that We prefer to see railroads coming
IN rather than going out of our State, but
at the same time =, il not have the face to
make such preference an objection to the
giving OF aid5to an enterprise highly desira-
bic to many of our own citizens, and GER
ta'nly contributive to the general wealth
and character of the State and of the South.
With what sort Of grace could we invoke
the cooperation of Tennessee or North
Carolina in the erection of Rabun Gap
or French Broad road from their midst
into our borders, and then object to a SINH
lar enterprise taking different direction {?
Would il not be an exhibition Of selfshness
too palpable for South Carolinians to be-
tray2 81 t.
But really the mere matter of running
the road into Augusta cannot affect, to any
great extent, the general interests Of the
State or the local interests of any similar
railroad enterprise. The trade carried by
it into Augusta will eventually find its way
to- our own metropolis, unless other and
nearer markets offer superior inducements.
And the Greenvile and Columbia Road
(the only immediate compctitor) need not
deprecate the results of competition, be-
cause the completion of the Rabun Gan
Road will throw into our borders abundant
employment for both. If we could conceive
otherwise, we. confess it would be difficult
forus to utter hearty "Gol speed" to the
Valley Road, for we should very much re-
gret to see the first pioneer of steam in
upper Carolina robbed. Of the rewards so
justly due its patient, sclfsacriicine and
patriotic promoters.
Viewing it, then, RS All enterprise prom
's'ng great conveniences to many Of our
citizens who are now without them, as a
contribution to tho noble work of Southern
Improvement, and rs unlikely. TO: affect The
ultimate prosperity of an older and deserv-.
ing ncighbor, we do sincerely hope the Leg
is'ature will not hesitate to grant the de-
sired amendment, and that the Savannah,
Valley Railroad will ere long become
reality.
