Railroad Convention.

The Beaufort Republican proposes that the
citizens of Beaufort, Barnwell, Edge6eld, Abb
bevile and Anderson unite in holding a rail-
road convention at AbbeTille G. H., and the
Edgefeld Advertiser, concurring fully in the
suggestion, names Wednesday, 18th Of August,
as the day for assembling the convention, with
the assurance that Edgefied will be represent
ed. This movement is intended to further the
proposed railroad from Chicago to the South
Atlantic coast, and while the action of our
people heretofore has been looking mainly to
the location of this road from Clayton to Au-
gusta, we cannot see any iInpropriery in taking
counsel with the citizens OF the counties named
and believe that Anderson will send delega-
tion for that purpose. We are anxious to
unite with those ready to push on the column,
and secure the great highway from the grain
region to the cotton-producing section.
