STRONG ENDORSEMENT OF THE SPAR.
TANBURa AND AsHEvILLR RA11RoAD.-
George W. Williams, Esq, one OF the
shrewdest and wealthiest merchants and
bankers of the South, in letter to A.
@. Kaufman, Esq, of Charleston, says
that the enterprise of building the Spar.
tanburg and Asheville Railroad has his
hearty support. Ho believes that not
only every citizen OF Charleston, but of
South Carolina, will be benefited by the
completion of an 'air-line" road to the
West. He thinks that Charleston will
be greatly benefited, il no moro is done
than to build the road to Asheville.
But, of course, if it gets that far, it will
go on. This opinion of Mr.. Williams
backed by liberal subscription, ought
to be conclusive of the merit OF the
scheme. He is man who looks care.
fully before he leaps-a man who, when
he invests dollar. is certain that it will
return rich interest. We understand
also, from letter of Hon. G. Cannon
to Mr.. Williams, that the people of
Moth Carolina. along the French Bread
River, whom he has recently visited, are
heartily in favor Of the road. They
promise subscription of $500, 900 or
more. All influences seem at work to
give Us this road. Let us cooperate
with them here, by such subscription as
is proper for us to make, and which will
tend 10 secure the result in which the
whole State and South are deeply inte-
rested.
