event both for North Carolina and her

THE OLDEST RAILROAD. Capt. A. p,
Brown, of the State department of ag-
r~iculture, showed me this morning an
old scrap book IN which he wrote more
than 80 years ago the following conclu'
sions which were reached after a long
discussion as to the oldest railroad in the
world:
q. That the South Carolina Railroad
from Charleston to Hamburg was the
first road that was commenced in this
country with a view of using steam in
stead of using animal power.
50. That the first locomotive engine
ever built in this country was built tol
and used by that road.
IS. That it was the first road that car
ried the L. s. mail
A. That when completed and ready
for use, which was on the ID of October,
1888, it was the locgest road in the
world. We travelled spon this road in
1880, FIVE miles III a car rugged with
sails and propelled by wind at the rate
