How to Make q Town,

The Columbia Register has long and we'll
written editorial under the above caption
from which we mako the following extracts.
After stating that natural resources and SUR
rounding have much to do with the inception
and growth Of towns, aud pointing to in
stances Of great cities at times spvingine up
in out Of tho way places and growing from
the capital aud appointments Of civilization
into centres Of trade, controlling largely the
commerce Of tho world, the writer says:
"I'hc social complexion of plsuo, tho
character of the people who do busi,es and
dwell tlorein -.;ho merchants, tho Professions
ais, the men aud women Of society all these
things lave vast positive meaning in tho
economy Of city and arc ns capable Of
attracting businos and visitors MS the snb-
stance Of high individual character, tho gifts
of genius and tho smiles of beauty have a
charm for tho average child of our race.
Thon wc may accept it as truth that there is
much in every town that is made that is
borrowed from tho energy tho character, the
culture, tho tastes the refinement, and, above
all, tho go~ahcad business qualities Of place
:. tho pluck to spend money and the ,iudg-
ment ard discretion to place it we'll. No
two-pcnny policy in our day can conduct q
State, o city, or business on grca. scale, or,
in fact, on any scale at all worth talking
about. Tho narrow parsimony that is caught
in Tho aphorisn, "a penny saved is penny
earned" is easy Of uilcrancc, but il has sunk
its millions i'll the ponur:ouasncss wlichtak

In another partof tho article, speaking oi
pcnurionsness as Southern yicc, tho writer
says
"This porhaps is tho most harmful ol
qualities. It stayses tho preacher, cripples
tho State and municipality society,
let's down tho tonoof tho peoplein killing of
public spirit and diddlcs ones neghbor With
sanctimonious graco whilst it refuses that
charity which is the groatcst Of oil virtues.
Liberality of spirit is great clement in

Of commission we suffer most, but Tor sins of
omisson--tho precious time, the precious
opportunity VIC allow to clip by ns unim,
proved and which is gone from US forever,
like forgotten dream, mover to be recovered"
In speaking o! tho energy, activity and
determination not to yield to misfortune rs
an clemont Of succoss In evory undertaking,
the writer says:
'tsAny city, town or community, then, that
determines not to fail and 80 acts, at that
moment binds uptits iloins for positive action
and ggrcssivo effort and COOS in to win and
not whjnc, will win in tho end. Cursos and

mingled wth the sweet songs Of the olden
time, will como trickling over tho harp strings
Of memory, despite The bolts and bars Of cruel
destiny. Accepting, then, the true philosophy
of the Gnainty yet practical aphorism, nothing
loso nothing gain" let those who would make
their towns and communities shine in pros
pcrity aud progressive strength bind on their
irontlcts ',V dcSpGrNhlym," and each man
do his part towards common end, icmGm
boring that though we may not accomplish

chances are that unless wo mako an even

no reason why Oconee should bo behind in

General Connar

In his management Of tho Grecnvillo and
Columbia Railroad has so far given general
! satisfaction. 10 seems to strive not only to
promote tho highest interests Of the road, both
in the matter of froights. speed and improve
ments Of tho road bcd but also to mako
friends of the people through whose ncighbor.
hoods tho road passes.
Wo understand he proposes to have tho
track between Walhalla and Anderson cleared
off, and reset with now ties, thing much
needed. This branch Of the road has tccn
greatly neglected for n long time, ard badly
needs repairs. We, therefore, arc glad to
hear these arc about to be made and in time
for tho fall !rade aud travel. Under proper
management tho income of the road can be
largely increased and much Of the trade now
lost to Charleston bo turned in that direction
Wo all desire TO SEQ this accomplished, for
Charleston should receive as much Of onr
.trado us it can lcgitimatcly claim. Besides
we would like to SEQ Charleston restored to
her former prosperity and trade, MS tho COM
mercal metropolis Of our State. This can bo
dono and nothing will contribute more to
this end than good railroad connections with
quick transit and low froights.
MATTER.
Of great and immediate Importance to our
people is tho building Of depot at Seneca
City for the convenience of frcighIs and
travel. This has been resolved on and the
work, wc are reliably informed, will DO begun
in time for completion for tho fall trade.
This has been long needed aud should have
boon attended to before this in tho true inter.
est Of tho travelling and trading public. This
ono act will mako Cen. Conner many friends
among our pooplc and, VIC think, add to thc
business Of his road.
