On the Spartanburg and Asheville Rail-
road, the construction train runs out seven
miles, carrying iron, which is being rapidly
laid down. The work done is of the very
best quality. The track is remarkably
smooth, and being extended at the rate of
half mile per day. 1t is the confident ex-
pectation of those in charge of the work to
have the cars running to PAGES Gap of the
Blue Ridge, eleven miles from Henderson,
vile, by next July. The grading is being
pushed forward on the rest of the line to
Asheville, and by another summer the cars
will be running all the way through.

THE RAwLINsoN HOTEL BUILDING.

THE RAWLINsON HOTEL BUILDING.
The wall of the brick portion of the hotel,
which was for many years kept by Mr.. Rawl-
inson, commenced falling last winter, owing
to defective material used in its construction,
and since the wall first gave way. portions of
it have since fallen at different times. A
mass of brick and rubbish fell last Monday,
and for security portion of the corner next
the street was pulled down. That portion of
the broken wall remaining next the street is
far from secure, and We think the town au.
thorities should see to it that it is removed
before sad accident, or even loss of life, re-
suits from permitting it to remain in its pres.
ent condition. .....

THE CONCERT.
A large audience greeted the Yorkyille
Burlesque and Ethiopian Troupe, who gave
their first performance in the Court House
last Thursday evening. Every piece of music
and every act announced on the programme
was rendered in creditable style, making it
difficult to realize the fact that the perform
ers were not only amateurs, but had com.
menced their rehearsals only short time
previous. Messrs. Pink Herndon and Jo
Colcock sustained themselves very we'll as
lend men," A song and dance was we'll rem.
dered by Mr.. Herndon, and as a delineatnr
of Dutch character and eccentricities, Mr..
Colcock fairly surpassed himself, keeping the
house in roars of laughter. The burlesque of
"One Night in Barroom," in which Messrs.
Herndon and Colcock sustained the principal
characters, was very we'll presented and pass
ed off to the satisfaction and delight of the
audience. Not the least attractive feature of
the entertainment was the splendid music un.
der the lead of Mr.. A. Springs Withers, who,
on more than one occasion, displayed his COM
plete mastery of that noble instrument the
violin. The company will give another en-
tertainment tomorrow (Friday) evening, and
we would advise all lovers of innocent amuse.
ment to attend. ........ ....... ......

Though no direct knowledge is obtainable
from official sources as to the intentions of the

that the end of the deliberations now pro-
crossing will be an order Withdrawing the
troops from the State House at Columbia,
and the consequent practical recognition OF
Hampton.
