ry and the country between that place and

ut NauclnSc. Il short distance above Gram.
nIcville. which was built from the earnings
of the Grnnntcvillc Factory and is under the
same management, 10000 more spindlcs
art in operation. These Factories nrc in
n most satisfactory condition and are pay
ing splendid dividends to the stock hohlcrs
annually. Leaving Granalcville, we passed
through what iSknown rs the "Ridgc" sec,
hon OF EdGtfrld County, We had heard n
good deal about the Ridge" in EdgrGcll
bat were not prepared to see such n magniG
cent conntry-alm0st an Edornio Al Tren-
ton, Lieut. Governor Sheppard came aboard
the train and to him are we indebted for
many interesting facts concerning the coun-
try, itSdcvrlopmcnt &c
The Charlotte, Columbia and Au~usnt
Railroad WAS butt in 1853, and at that time
there was not the vcStigc Of n town alorp
the entire line in Edgeiield county. Now
there are n half dozen or more. nJurishing
towns, with good business houses, splcn,
did residences and n thrifty progressive,
intelligent population. Trenton, Johnson's 5
and Spring Hills, we believe are the largest
and most prosi icrous. The lands on the
'Eidgc" are level, or so gradually undu-
l"''hg that there is httlc, if any, danger
from washing rains. 1t has been Lrouphr
n q A ~ ,In lI;,
ana Is being gradually improved from year
to year. We were told that with good sch
sons, the land produced bale of cotton 70
the acre. They have suffered there thc
present year, like almost every other sec
non OF the State, from the drouth, but re
cent y good rains have fallen all along that
section from Augusta TO Columbia, and the
crops on the "Ridgc" arc decidedly the
best we saw anywhere else during our trip
We noticed that the farmers generally had
about as much corn planted as cotton and
had learned the importance Of making their
own hog and homiuy. They also rnlsc fine
whcnt and oats, and as TO frttt, il grows to
perfection. Many have fine orchards of
peaches and are realizing from them fine
income. The farm houses nre generally
large, nicely paInt~d with all necessary
convcnicncCs attached. Improved ngricui>
lural implements and labor saving machin-
cry are being extensively Introduced, and
Sanbo is gradually retiring from thnt to
the less progressive sections of this and
oihcr States. We have seen no section in
South Carolina that is apparently more
progressive, more prosperous or more
desirable to live in than the "Rldgo" in
Edgcfcld County.

Mr.. james W. Martin, son Of Capt Thos.
W. Martin, Of Anderson county lost his life
one day last week by n rngular accident.
Being in the act of starting TO thb hUuse of
his father.in~law he concluded to DISCHARGE
his gun which he had determined to take
with him, before getting in his buggy, lest
some accident should happen on the way.
Stepping in the back yard he raised his
gun for the purpose Of cooking the hammer
holding the but end not very far from his
abdomen, when both barrels ac:idenially
discharged and the gun rcbornded with great
force against his abdomen. Mi. Martin
lived until the morning following the acc
dent suffering the most excrucialng pain,
when death relieved him of his suffering.
MIR. Martin was but Twenty-Five years old
and had been but recently married.

We suppose Captain Kirk is about os nc
cnrate in his figures as Engineers usually
are in making experimental surveys, but
we all know that work frequently doubles
and trebIes the estimate of Engineers, for
they can not tell how much stone work
they are TO encounter under the surface or
the gronnd But accepting Captain Kinks
hgnre as true, we st:ll contend that our
estimate is not an cXaggcration. The
SI6o,OOO represent only the primary cost
of the proposed DETECTION, ana TINT is
very small sum compared 10 the annual
cost of keeping mp the additional nine and
half miles of road with its trestlc over
Georges Creek and the two bridges over
Snlnda river This in the course Of years
would cost a great deal more han 500. .0GO
Really our figures do not represent in the
long run, one half the cost of. the proposcd
detection over The old route. This is
