The Greenwood and Augusta

The Chronicle has always predicted
that the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad
would prove to be paying investment,
and the result has. already justified the
pre- LECTION. The road is 1T present doing
a better local business than any road ter
mlnating at Augusta, and this business
bids fair to increase rapidly. The Au-
custa and Knoxville extends through a
very fertile section Of country, and will
bring large amount Of produce to Au
gasta. 1t Is very important that some
action should be taken at once looking tc
the early completion of the Savannah
Valley and Atlantic and French Broad
Railroads in the interest Of Augusta
With these roads part and parcel Of the
Augusta ana Knoxville, the latter will
be large feeder tc the trade of this city
making the, most productive section o.
South Carolina tributary TO Augusta
Fifty thousand dollars will secure both
these roads.
We understand that the Richmond and
Danville Railroad is very anxious to OBJ
tain control Of the Augusta and Knoxville
1t is said that square bid was made q
few days since by parties in the interest
OF the Richmond and Danville to the State
OF South Carolina, for its stock N the An
gusta and Knoxville, and that the bic
was refused.-Augusta Chronicle.
