We are asked by subscriber, who solicits
the information "by request Of a great many
of his fellow citizens" the law as it exists noso,
as to the powers of the "overseers of high.
ways" to "call out" those liable to road duty.
We are not a lawyer; but on applying to one,
we have been furnished with the following
section of the road law, which, as amended at
the recent session of the legislature, includes
as liable to road duty all ablebodisd male
persons between the ages of eighteen and fifty
FIVE years:
Section II. That all able-bodied male per.
SONS between the ages of eighteen and fifty
five years shall be liable, annually, to perform
on the public highways and roads, not less
than three, and not more than five days Ia
Dor, under the direction of the County Com
missioners, Provided, That if any person be-
ing warned to work upon the highways, shall
pay to the County Commissioners the sum of
one dollar per day for each day required,
the same shall be received in lieu of such Ia
Dor, and shall be applied by the said Coun-
ty Commissioners to the construction and repair
of the roads in the district And should any
person refuse either to work on the hig ghways
and roads, or to pay the fine imposed as a
penalty for refusing to work upon the high
ways and roads, according to the direction Of
said commissioners, the said persons shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and, on a
conviction thereof, punished by imprisonment
in the county Jail for the same, for term not
exceeding thirty days.
Our correspondent will observe that there
is no exemption for any male person within
the prescribed ages, if he is able-bodied.

THE NARROW GAUGE RAILROAD.

NAhhOV UACUh AS!AAAAsoHD'
On last Saturday, at Chester, the Ches-
ter and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad Com
pany was organized by the election of pres-
dent and directors A. H. Davega, of Ches.
ter, was elected President. By reference
to our advertising columns it will be seen that
meeting is called, on the 9TH of May, at
Hickory Tavern, N. c., of the stockholders
of the Carolina Narrow Gauge Railroad, and
of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge
Railroad. The object of these meetings, as
stated in the advertisements, is to consolidate
the two roads.
These two roads, when constructed, will be
of incalculable value to the whole of upper
South Carolina and western North Carolina.
To York and Chester counties, they will af-
ford facilities never before enjoyed. By re-
ference to the map, it will be seen that the
projected roads will cross the Richmond and
Atlanta Air Line Railroad, the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, and the
Western Extension of the North Carolina
Railroad. By the Richmond and Atlanta
Railroad we will be put in direct communica-
ton with Spartanburg and Greenville, in this
State, and with Atlanta, in Georgia, on the
West, and with Charlotte, N. c., on the East.
8y means of the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad, we will be brought in
close communication with Shelby, Ruther-
ford, Charlotte and Wilmington. The West
ern Extension of the North Carolina Rail-
road will enable us to communicate speedily
with Salisbury on the East, and Morganton,
Asbeville and East Tennessee, on the West.
This road seems to be the very thing that
both South Carolina and Western North Car
olina need. South Carolina needs grain, and
that portion of North Carolina through which
this road passes, as we'll as that part of East
Tennessee, which lies near its terminus, needs
market for its grain. The facilities of meet
ing these wants will be supplied to both Sec
tions by this road. 1t is easy to see that it
will infuse new life into both sections Of the
country.
Fully impressed with the great Importance
of this projected road, the company is deter
mined to build it as speedily as possible. The
Carolina Narrow Gauge and the Chester and
Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroads will, in all
probability, be consolidated as soon as the law
will allow them, and the work of construction
be Immediately commenced. The people of
Chester county, on the 23rd instant, will vote
on the question of a county subscription of
one, hundred thousand dollars. This looks
like business. In fact, the motto Of the Com
pany is businessmen talk. 1t intends to
build the road and that as soon as the nature
| of the case will admit
