The first bale of new cotton for this
County was brought to town on Monday

by Messrs. Barr q Co., for lit cents cash: ASH.
The bale weighed 542 pounds, and was
picked, ginned and packed on the day on
which it was sold. Tile ginning and press
ing was done by Messrs. w. A. Geer and
CO.. on new machinery which was adjusted
on the same day, the gin having been pur-
chased on Saturday and the press on Mon

sioner was passed. It was also determined
to attend the mass meeting at Anderson on

success.
Improvements in the management of the
Greenville g. Columbia Railroad are still
going bravcly on, to the qualification of its
patrons and the public generally. We un-
derstand that on the lSt September a fine
passenger train with air breaks and all of
the conveniences and comforts for passen.
gers usually found on tirst-class road, will
be put upon the Anderson Branch and Blue
Ridge Division, the object Of which is to
make close connection ut Seneca City with
the western bound day passenger train OH
the Air Line-R Road. This will greatly in
crease the travel over this line, as 1t will
make the time between Charleston and At
lanta, Co., and all points west of that place,
about six hours shorter that over any other
route. The great bulk of travel between
these two points now goes by the way OF
Augusta, but as soon as the proposed change
is made it will naturally change to this line
which, to the travelling public, is always an
important consideration. This will give
Anderson and the other towns on this Sec
tion of the G. g. G. r. r. all that could be
wished in the way of railroad accommoda-
tions. In addition to this improvement we
learn also that there will be put upon the
main line through night freight, which
will carry q passenger coach.
