The Blde Ridge Railroad.

Tho town authorities of Anderson have
sent committee .composed Of Messrs. Tciiy,
Humphreys aud 4. B. Murray to Charleston.
TO lay before the people Of that city tho
present condition Of the Blue Ridge Railroad
enterprise.qa The committee was we'll re-
ceived. hearing was granted the commit.
tee by tho Chamber Of Commerce and the
City Council. The people Of Anderson
thought it an auspioious timo to bring this
great enterprise prominently before the
couatry, Il is proposed to release the road
from it's present taxes aud to make it nom
taxable for a number Of years. The State is
to be asked for S500,O00. to be paid in Eve
equal annual inssalments. 1t is supposed
that Anderson would probably vote the road
5000. 1000, Oconee $l50,000. and Abbeville
100000. These amounts, with the convict
labor. would probably prepare the road-bed
for the iron. Messrs. Humphreys and Muir
ray presented their views, the facts Of which
we have given above. Remarks favorable
to the road were made by Messrs. Tupper,
Simonds, Hanckel. Williams, Trenholm,
Courtenay, Dawson, Simonton, Buist aud
others. 1@'i
We are glad to see Anderson taking the
load in this mattor. We have urged the
completion of this road in season aud out o.
season, and we are rejoiced to know that a
new impetus is being given to it. Let the
good work roll on.

An Interesting Address Before

WALiiALLA, 8. c., January 90, 1885,

WALnALLA, 8. G., January 20, 1880.
MEssRs. EDIroRs: The Rev. A. W. Moore,
the preacher in charge Of the Walhalla Circuit,
visited the Adger College This morning. After
the devotional exercises of tho morning Mr..
Moore was formally introduced to the students
by tho Chairman Of tho Faculty. Mr.. Moore
in response spoke to the students substantially
as follows. His words were 30 we'll received by
the young mon that il is deemed not out of
place to send the following almost if not exact,
verdatim reproduction for publication. lie said:
congratulate you, young gentlemen that you
are pursuing your studies, beginning your odu-
cation, under the conditions of college lito with
the means and appliances of an established
college. Tho young man is fortunate who can
begin life in this our day in the midst of such
circumstances und such inspirations. The fact
thnt you ore here shows that you appreciate tho
benefits of q liberal education. You will ap-
preciate these benefits tho moro you advance
into life. Perhaps somo of you are endeavorng
to utilize these very fine opportunities Of culture
undor great embarrassnents, embnrrassmens 10
you and tho kind friends at homo. This will bo
no serious disadvantage to you; 1t is rather o
condition precedent of SUCCESS. The men who
make their mark in tho world are the men who
grapple with difficulties and overcome them. A
man Is measured as much by the obsructions he
removes as by the actual advances ho makes.

The Legislature.

BY reason of the decision Of the Supreme
Court, declaring the Supply Bill invalid, Gov.
Simpson has issued bis proclamation oonven-
ing the Legislature id extra session on Tues.
day, the 10th instant The expense and
Inconvenience resulting from over haste at
the regular session are to be regretted, but
the consequences cannot now bo helped.
We see the Chairman Of tho Committee Of
Ways and Means has requested the commits
tee to meet in Columbia on Monday before
the session opens, with view to shortening
the session. This is a busy season Of the
year for TURNER'S but we hope proper time
and thought will be taken aud all legislation
be correctly transacted. Whether the Legis-
lature will oon6ne its action to tho Supply
Bill, or will Take up and consider other
subjects, is matter of speculation. We are
inclined to the opinion that tho session will
not extend beyond seven or ten days and
that tho Supply Bill will bo the only matter
of public interest acted upon. In passing
this bill we again say that q special tax Of
threc,f ,fourths or one mill for Oconee County
to meet past due indebtedness should be
levied. After the application Of the Air Line
tax to past indebtedness there still remains
from fourteen to sixteen hundred dollars due
and unpaid. With tho present prospect no
ono can expect that three mills will pay the
current expenses of the present year, so that
this debt can only be met by special levy.
This once admitted, and who can doubt it,
what reaeon can be offered for not levyipg
this special tar. We admit taxation is heavy
and that all of us pay it with difficulty, if not
with reluctance, but when We see it cannot
be avoided why not face the music and
honestly prepare to meet our dues2 Post,
ponoment can avail nothing in the way o
relief, while it may enhance the burden by
interest or suits with attending cost against
the county: The present bids fair to be tho
most expensive year of our existence as
county, both from Jail fees and costs in orimi.
nal prosecutions, and with the basis Of taxa
ton lowered in the assessed value Of property
three mills will raise less than ever before.
Seeing no other relief we should levy a tax
and get out Of debt and then strive to keep
out.

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

This great enterprise, the building of
which was predicted by Mr.. Calhoun forty
years ago, has again come prominently
before the public md its probable completion
is confidently expected. At the breaking
out of the war work upon it was being pressed
with snoh energy as assured its completion
in few years, but with the opening Of
hostiities it was suspended, and though
some feeble efforts were made in 1870 to
revive the work, these were soon abandoned
and it has since been utterly neglected and
apparently abandoned. Recent excitement in
railroad matters, looking to ashort and profita-
BILE connection between the West and the South
Atlantic seaboard, has again brought it's
claims into public notice.
We publish from the Ne,os and Courier
a summary Of the report of Cen. Harrison,
President Of this road, to Gov. Orr in 1868,
showing it's condition ut that time and tho
probable cost Of its completion under later
surveys. On an average fully ffty per cent.
Of the entire work, including tunneing, grad.
ing, bridging, &c., has been dono, and this
work is Of q permanent character. II Is
tn nght that the last line established
could be completed for two to two and
half million Of dollars, and that the
grade would be lighter than that of any
road crossing the Blue Ridge Whom COM
pleted the road would benefit the whole State
and 20 far towards making Charleston great
trading emporium. It. would pass through q
country rich In mineral resources. with n
fertile soil and salubrions climate. 1t would
be line not subject to be- blockaded by snow
and ice and would certainly receive q largo
freight and passenger patronage

remunerative and increase in ten years our

Shall no. thus situated. bury. our talent, like
the foolish servant, or by getting q few dol.
lars per year for convict labor make both
ends meet, or shall we with little or no outlay
Of money inveat this labor judicially and reap
q golden harvest. Such will be the result Of
tho latter course If the provisions of the canal
act be faithfully carried cut.
Again, our friend does not consider tho
difference between railroads and faetorles In
another respect. In the infaunS Of our go
vernment 1t was found. necessary to foster and
protect manufactures. because the mother
country having large capital invested in
them could smother down by competition the
efforts in that line here. Now could this be
true Of railroadf IF millions of miles Of rail-
road had been in operation in England it
could not have affested the proats Of o rail"
road built here So, too, if every county
and town in the North had q railroad to it
this could not affect the building Of RAILROADS
here for thoy live by the local traffic and
travel on their lines. 1t is different with
manufactures.
Capital is sensitive aud will not readily
seek investment in now enterprises In q
country where it must compete with like
enterprises already on foot and in operation,
and in timo near to them by reason Of rail.
roads and steamboats,. though remote in
distance. While then wo believe carital
invested in manufactures here would pay
better than in the North we must give it all
proper encouragement to make the trial.
When success is once attained and confidence
fixed the road to wealth is easy. Wo sny,
then. far better it is for the State to encourage
this grand enterprise. tho result of which is
and will be regarded by Northern capital as
tho test and surety Of success.
AS to extending like privileges Of convict
labor to persons building railroads in the
State, We have no objection, except that
persons taking convicts to o remote point
should both guard and feed them. Wc do
not think the State should seek to make a
profit Of convict labor. They are sentenced
for punishment and should aa fur ns possible
be made self sustaining. The building of
new railroads promote the interests of the
whole States, are quasi public enter
prises and should be given encouragement.
| In filling trestles on roads already built 1t is
very different The State hos no interest in the
matter Tie corporations pay individuals for
| the work, and to give them convict labor is ap-
propriating money TO individuals for their own
benefit and TO no advantage to the public or
State. We propose to let this matter rest. here.
