Anderson and Augusta.

We had a call on yesterday from Mr.. W. D.
Mars who reports the prospects for building
the Savannah Valley Railroad as good. The
railroad meeting at Lownaesville last week
was well attended, and all seemed in earnest
In the work. 1t Is proposed to raise fifty thou
sand dollars by taxation on the townships
through which the road will pass from An
derson 10 the Greenwood and Augusta road.
The amount is I'd small that he thinks the
various townships along the line will readily
vote the tnx. The ccrporators OF this branch
or the A., X. and T.. road hope to secure the
services OF the conVictS now employed on the
is graded. The people Of Lowndesville are
very anxious I'd secure the road and we hope
that their most sanguine expectations may
soon be realized. There seems 10 be no doubt
as to the vote in LowndeSville township, and
many are confident as to Magnolia and Cal.

He's Been There.
Sunday ENQUIRER.

Joseph Bean, an unsophisticated
resident of Eaton, o, was swindled
cut of $40 Yesterday by a sharper
who played him with the lottery
ticket game. The sharper meets
Mr.. Bean, calls him by name, proves
to be very agreeable, and induces
Bean to accompany him to a 'lotte-
ry office on Race street, below Fifth.
Smarty buys a ticket and draws 500
and the privilege of taking another
chance. This CHARGE pans out 800
more, and by this time "greeny" is
interested. He buys q ticket, pay
ing $40 therefor, and draws 800.
The prize is laid on the desk, but
under the rules Bean is not allow
ed to pocket it just yet. He planks
down another $40 for another ticket,
and looses. Then he got excited
when he was told his first prize was
forfeited, and he stormed around a
while. The sharper sympathizes
with his victim and the pair leave the
building to go to the Gibson House,
where the sharper leaves him, say
ing he will 60 back and endeavor TO
get his money. That's the last Bean
has seen of his new friend, and at
last awakes to the consciousness
that he has been duped. Then be
squeals to the police, but the sharp
er has not been arrested.
