THE SAVANNAH VALLEY RAILROAD.

Despite the hard year the prospect ior
TIE completion Of the important short
railroads leading from Greenwood TO
Laurens, Greenvile and Spartanburg
during the present year is very assuring.
Indeed, these roads are almost, if not
certainly, an assured fact, and with their
completion the cities of Gfeenville,
Spartanburg and Laurens will have the
advantages of competition between two
leading railroad combinations--the Clyde
syndicate and the Georgia Central.
Every business man knows the advanta.
ges this competition will give to these
places. The Savannah Valley Road is
in condition which requires only q
little public spirit to complete it also,
and it is for the people of Anderson and
portions Of Abbeville to determine
whether they will secure the advantages
OF this road by giving small additional
pittance to ensure its early completion.
The City of Anderson is ready and anx-
ious to do her full psrt to aid this enter
prise, and we have no doubt the people
along the line, when the matter 10 pre-
sented to them, will likewise be willing
To do their part also. The road, when
built, will reduce freights all along the
line. 1t will promote the business inter
ests Of our city, and also the people
along the route. Depots will be made
aud towns spring up at not less than six
or seven points. The value of lands
will be enhanced, and the conveniencea
of life will De carried near 10 miles ot
country which nog !ehnra under the dis.
advantages of distant markets and bad
roads. The Legislature has authorized
the City of Anderson and all of the
Townships interested to make additional
subscriptions by taxation, upon the vote
of a majority of the qualified voters in
any City or Township, provided q ma
jority of the owners Of real estate In
such City or Township first petition for
the election. The whole responsibility,
therefore, rests with the owners Of real
estate, and we hope the Directors of the
Savannah Valley will proceed as soon as
possible to submit the question to the
people interested, and obtain the reqni.
site petitions. We have already put o
great deal of money into the enterprise,
and should not now allow it to fail for
the lack of the small additional sum
necessary to complete the line. If pos
sible, this road should be built in time
to move the next cotton crop. 1t will
be worth to our section every year as
much money as it will cost us to com.

The Grecnyille and Laurcns Road.

GREENvILLE, January G.-Ihe eXccu-
tive committee Of the Greenville and
Laurens Railroad Company held meet
ing here last night for the purpose Of
opening the bids and awarding the con
tracts for the grading of the sections Of
the road now ready for the contractors.
Stuart, Susong & Co, Of Tennessee, were
the lowest bidders, and we're awarded the
contract for the whole Of the eight and
q half miles at the Greenriile end Of the
contractors are q company Of wealthy
and experienced men, who will push the
work through with Iapid!ty. They con
tract to begin the work by February first
and to complete it by the first of July.
Their contract covers tho most expensive
part Of the line and will be executed at
a cost 10 the company OF an average of
twelve cents cubic yard for earth work,
including cuts and fills which amounts
to about $4,000 pei mile. The railroad
company have the option Of paying for
the work, if they desire, in Grecnvile
and Laurens County bonds, at ninety
cents on the dollar. This is very salts.
factory beginning for the building Of the
road. Contracts for the grading of four
miles of the Laurens division will be
awarded on the 23d inst. The remaining
twenty-four miles of road is mostly on
an easy ridge, and it is the lightest kind
of work. This vii! be graded by con
struction force under the superintcndence
Of Capt. j. w. Kirk, the chief engineer
Of the road, who states that the whole
line vii! be graded and ready for equip.
mcnt by July l. Many changes in the line
originally surveyed have been made by
Capt. Kirk, whose reputation as an adept
at finding easy grades and short lines is
unryailed. The reduction in cost has
been so great that it is now contemplated
that the whole line of thirty seven miles
will be graded and supplied with crossties
at q cost of from 100000 to $4,000.
This does not look reasonable, but it will
be done, and the road will have on hand
a cash surplus Of something like $4,000
| with which to extend its line toward
AsheVille, which it is the determined
policy Of the Greenvi,e and Laurens
people who own the road now about to
be built to do. The people of Greenvlle
are especially wide awake on the subject
| and at the right temper to push the road
| through the mountains without delay
The survey Of line from here to Ashc-
7isls passing througt. the upper section
of this county via Marietta will be made
by Capt. Kirk and his corps in March or
April. His knowledge of the route al
ready acquired warrants him in saying
that he can cross the mountains at a
grade Of not more than seventy feet to
the mile, with one slight tunnel. Before
the end of the present year the road
from Laurens to this city will be in oper-
alton, and the people Of this section are
enjoying rational hopes of the ultimate
and early realization Of the grand
scheme OF u railroad across the noun
tains and to the West.-Ncws and Con-
| rier.

September 81, 1883, in which the rail.
road rates were in force, this road paid
out of it's earnings its operating e.pen.
ses and fixed chargeo, including interest
on Its debt, and spent 345, 1880 in re.
pairs upon its lines. A:ter paying .hese
necessary expenses the income OF the
road and all Of it's branches amounted to
only $304.N. The sum spent in repairs
| was not unnecessarily largo, for it will
require o similar expenditure for the
next ten years TO put the line in anything
like thorough order.
Now during the months of October
and November, of 1883, the earnings of
this road were csc, ,534.34 Less than for
the same months in 1882. OF this sum
about q per cent. is due to decrease in
business, but the other 73 per cent. ia
| due to the Commissions rate, or in other
words the road lost during these months
in round numbers s4S,000 by the Com
missions rates, so that if it should earn
as much for the rest Of tho year az it did
