so that those who desired had ample oppor-
tunity 10 "Trip on the light fantastic toe" and
not few embraced the opportunity to do SO.
About the middle of the afternoon OF the first
day heavy thunder arose and the rain de-
scended In torrents, but ample preparation had
been made for such an event, aud but little in
convenience was experienced on account OF the
shower. Large numbers Of both ladies and
gentlemen remained on the grounds all night

tue rain repeated itself during the night no in
convenience resulted therefrom.
1t had been decided to effect military or

Our New Railroads.

What are our L.owndesrillo friends DO
ing about the Railroad? Now is tho time
to work, if they over intend to work.
The people every whcro arc enthuscd on
tho subject of railroads. Greenwood is
already at work grading her road to Au-
guSta, and we may reasonably expect 10
hear tho whistle of tho locomotive on
this road before another year rolls
around. Ninety-SiX seems to hc de-
voting her energies to the construction of
the ~Spartanbury and Augusta railroad,
and many are hopeful OF he success OF
this enterprise. We heartily approve of
the building of railroads everywhere, Il
we bollcve that nothing does more to
dcvelopo i country than railroads. The
people OF Lowndosvillo arc certainly
abunaantly able to build their roal, it
they so will it, and VIC are very much
mistaken if they arc not now in earnest.
Greenwood seems determined and
Ninoty-SiX is not loss so. We wish each
enterprise success. We can't have too
MANY railroads.
