| The NEW PRESIDENT OF THE CHAR
LoTTE, COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAIL.
ROAD As will be seon by the report of
the meeting of the stockholders, held
yesterday, our esteemed fellow-citizen,
Col. John B. Palmer, has been elected
President of the Charlotte, Columbia

more hnppy selection could possibly
have been made. His marked ability,
business experience, high character and
enterprising disposition eminently fit
Col. Palmer for successful career in his
new field of labor. The Saluda Factory
and the Central National Bank already
form lasting monuments OF his energy
and capacity, an7 we doubt not the
Charlotte, Col, A and Augusta Road
will profit -Jy.
