Abbevile Press and Banner: "The work
on the Savannah Valley Railroad progresses
as rapidly as possible, and the importance
of the line is becoming better known every
day, ana rs no great enterprise once set on |
foot ever goes backward. we may conclude |
that the completion of this road is ONLY n |
question of time. 1t runs through a valley
which. for fertility, will eaua! the valleys
of Louisiana, and for health is equal To The |
summit of the Blue Ridge itself. The line
OF this road is particularly rich in water |
powers. There are in Abbeville and An. |
derson counties not less than forty valuable |
water rpowers-one-half OF which would |
turn the spindles Of the United States. |
While these facts are susceptible of proof it |
also true that the line Of this road, for 9 |
or more from the line Of any other road. |
If ahe people along the line will do n little |
work themselves capital will not be slow to |
come to their aid. Much of the road in |
Anderson has already been graded, and we |
presume the work will be pushed in this
county also.
