A Rail Road to- Lancaster.

Seven years ago we earnestly urged upon the people
OF Kershaw and Lancaster Districts the necessity and
p,oprcty of building Rail Road, connecting Camden
with Lancaster lower North Carolina, &c. AT that
time our people were in favor Of the project and
willing to 60 into the enterprise, bur the people Of
Lancaster were not so enthusiastic Now the Lancas
ter people are up for Road and there is comparative
but little interest manifested b. our citizens although
we believe there is still disposition TO aid IN the mat
ter. '-s.4 * .,a, b. -

of Lancaster and Camden to unite at once in vigorous
aud effective effort towards the early Inauguration Of
this most important movement. We arc pleased to
know that azc do not stand alone in this Yew-tlrerc
are those among our most inhueptia and wealthy ct
zeus who. are willing and ready to come u nobly to
the work. -,
We have no.desre in tile present prtcse, to do moro
than call attention to the matter and urge upon our
citizens and those Of Lancaster, the mostprompt and
speedy aetiono secure an end absolutely necessary
for our mutual progress.
Let Lancaster and Camden meet and confer together,
aud deyseStlet ways and means necessary for this
work, which must Of necessity, in course Of time, be
accomplished. -;
There are those who tel US that Rail Road to Cam

word orit-it would dolls good Look at Columbia:
her Rail loads have made it the prettiest City in the
South. Columbia, :odaySis star ahead Of what it
was fifteen years ago, as Camden is now ahead Of what
it;would have been without Rail Road.
