BY appointment of an adjourned meet
ing of the friends of the Greenwood and
Augusta Railroad, the citizens of Abbe-
vile and Edgefeld met at Midway on
December lst, and on motion of DR.. J..
H. Jennings, Gen. P. II. Bradley was
called to the chair and DIR. M. G. Taggart
requested to act as Secretary.
The chairman in forcible and practi-
cal manner, peculiar to himself, ex-
planned the object of the meeting and
was happily successful in infusing into
the audience, spirit of unanimity and
determination rarely met with. Able
aid instructive addresses were also made
by DR.. J. n. Jennings, Capt. Jas. Tai
bert, Capt. w. X. Bradley, J. D. Talbert,
ESQ.,, and others; and the cheering in
telligence from delegates from Green
wood to Augusta, all along the route in
contestibly proves that our citizens are
alive and in sober earnest in regard to
the Road. If brains, muscle and money
will build any Railroad then the Green
wood and Augusta Railroad will be built,
and the subsequent action of the meet
ing shows they are ready to so to work
now-at once, as soon as a charter is
granted.
On motion of j. D. Talbert, ESQ.,, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Resolued 1st, That a committee of
twelve be appointed, who shall adopt
such measures as may be necessary to

authorized to have an immediate survey
made and published.
Resolved 3rd, That said committee be
empowered to raise by subscription, an
amount of money sufficient to have said
survey made along the proposed route,
committee may be deemed advisable.
RESOLVED 4th, That certificates beissued
by the committee to individuals who
subscribe for this object, and that the
amounts subscribed by them be consid-
cred as so much stock in the said Rail-
road
Under the first Resolution the follow
ing gentlemen were appointed as said
committee of twelve-nr. H. Jennings,
Gen. P. Fl. Bradley, J. D. Talbert, ESQ.,.
A. NJ. Aiken, DR.. N. Merriwether, S. P.
Boozer, c. L. Blair, Maj. ]. S. White,
w L. Parks, DR.. j. D. Neel, j. G. Shep-
pard and Capt. w. X. Bradley.

''he King's Mountain Military Schooi
This institution, at Yorkville in our
State, is now, without doubt the most
popular male institution in South Caro-
lima Four brave young fellows of our
own vicinity arc now students in it. At
present they are at home for the winter
taca ion, and the account they give us Of
l:ol. Coward and his school is pleasant to
year. Col. Coward sends us n card, which
ill be found in another column of this
sue. We bespeak for it special attcn-
sion. And we would state further that
ehc condition OF public affairs in York
County does not in the slightest degree
,ffec. the management and operation Of
The Kings Mountain School. Indeed
The pupils are kept SO entirely aloof from
III local excitements by the situation and
discipline Of the institution that they are
probably safer there than in their own
homes.
