won't have any meat at home" (Burst of
laug hter) Now, this is just the way it
stands with the matter of finishing this
road. We must do it or there will be no
meat in the family. (Much laughter and
applause) Aud when you see McAden &C

means to DO it, you may be sure, my fellow
citizens, that the gopher meat is sure to
come. Laughter aud applause.] The

and made beautiful address, in which he
rccounted the triumphs of physical science.
He spoke Of Hayne as martyr to tho.
great work, dying ut Asheville Just before,
the scheme was abandoned. He said South
Carolina had spent millions for roads and
Charleston had spent her treasure like wa
ter for connections with the Interior
Whatever the great West may now do, then,
in completing the work 50 nobly begun
with us-whatever of rich products She
might send to our shores-we shall giye
back to the Northwest a more precious dow.
ry than bride ever gave bridegroonl-a broad
and beautiful harbor.
EX-GOVERNOR BONHAM,
When introduced, said briefly he had not
come to indulge in speech. He wished
ssmply to be present on the interesting oc.
casion. lie Was glad to be here and to
know that South Carolina had done her du.

Gap, to meet us there.
COL. n. Y. MAIDEN
Was introduced and welcomed with cheers.
He said 1t was hardly fair to make him build
the road aud then put double duty on him
In speech making besides Coleman, by his
genius, had not only brought us over tho

to Asheville, only 81 miles of grading was,
necessary and that over the smoothest seces
ton of road. The cry now was: Shall
the road so on? What says North Caro-
lima! What says South Carolina? What
says Charleston These are questions
which must now be answered. There was
no time to lose. We must 60 on, and for

they meant. We are at Hendersonvile to-
day, 271 miles from Charleston, directly on
the way to the great West. We have been
told % miles OF grading is all we have TO
do, and the rest Of the gap, some ~ miles,
would be done-indecd was provided for
by North Carolina. We have to deal with
the II miles to Ashcville, with only 81
miles Of grading to do, and that SIZE, 900
will finish the road and iron it. Let U.s.,
then, keep steady eye on this S125 900,
and ask ourselves in Mort II Carolina and.
South Carolina what we can do to secure
this deficiency. That was the live issue
now ? The glorious past is great matter =;
the pressing demands of the present greater.
What can you do in this matter? That's
the question now, aud chats what's the
matter with Hannah" now.

meeting was among the things that were.
We can only add that it was a great sue
cess, and that no less than $500 people
were present.
