we strogly of the opinion that had this special
committee consulted with our district attorney
this bill would never have been presented for so
large an amount We would recommend that the
bill of 4 w. Cotzhausen for professional services
be referred to the district attorney with instruc-
tons TO COMPROMISE the same at what he shall
deem a liberal compensation for the services rem
dered and In case no such compromise can be
effected then to report to the annual session of
this board with such recommendations as he shall
deem fit. If the board does not deem this the
proper course. then We recommend that the biI
be now considered in open board.

sale of its bonds, and that the pro-
ceeds of such sales were soley re-
lied upon for the further prosecu-
ton of the enterprise. A financia!
agent was therefore at once ap-
pointed and commissioned to un-
dertake their negotiation. The
large amount Of preliminary work
necessarily prevented his putting
his scheme upon the market until
the spring Of 1888. lie has been
in London since then engaged IN
his work. During all this time the
market for railway securities has
been greatly depressed, and so con-
tinues. The quotations Of the
stock market daily exhibit this, and
it has beea almost an impossibility
to induce capital to embark in any
new railway enterprise. The f.
nancial agent, however, reports
that he has succeeded in attract
ing to his scheme the attention of
capitalist undoubtly able to float it,
that they are most favorably i'm
pressed and, in his judgement, it
is only necessary to await the re-
action in railway matters, which
must surely come, to realize sue
cessful termination Of his negotia-
tions. Such was the condition Of
affairs when the stockholders of the
G. c. c.. and G. Railway (ompa-
ny recently held their first annual
meeting at Aiken. They realized
the unavoidable difficulties that
their financial agent had encount-
cred and while adhering to the
policy previously adopted Of rely :
ing chiefly upon sale OF their
bonds for the further prosecution
of the enterprise, they determined
not to rely upon that solely. They
determined to again put their own
shoulders to the wheel, and by their
own efforts proceed with the work
while awaiting the negotiations III
England. They argued that addi-
tional contribution oftheir means,
and that to the full extent of their
ability, was the strongest addition
al argument that could be presen-
ted to foreign capital to come their
aid. They determined to raise
money enough to finish the grad
ing and trestle and crosstie the road
from Aiken to the mountains. It
would certainly at the proper time
hasten the favorable conclusion of

with regard to the efficient appli-
cation of such money as Aiken may

stock of the railway company work
cannot be commenced on the road
until the question of snbscribtion
has been decided, which may not
be until the approaching summer,
but when the work does begin it
will start at Aiken.
The policy Of the road is to do
it's work with free and not convict
labor. In reply to question as to
what will probaly be the value of
stock in the road, Gen. Hagood
said: If the whole road is com
pleted connecting us with the trade
centres Of the Northwest, it will be
,shorter by about 17O miles than
any route to the Southern scaboard
now existing. 1t will also be q
road Of easy grades, chcaply oper-
ated. This onght to insure it a
profitable participation in the largo
through freights from that region.
The road will also run directly
through the coal and mineral re-
gious of Kentucky and Tennessee,
and receive heavy freightage
thence. 1t also runs through the
valuable agricultural region If the
French Broad country of North
Carolina. Entering South Carroll
ma, it runs the manufacturing coun-
try at the foot of the mountains,
and through the wealthy agricul-
tural counties Of Anderson, Abbc-
vile and Edgefield-the last of
which by the late census, is credit
ed with sending more cotton to
market than any other county in
the State
Such road should certainly pay.
We arc however, now making the ef-
fort to build the South Carolina division

where. While to build the whole
line from Aiken to London was
bevond our means, it was thought
that to do 50 much as has been men
toned was within our power, and
the result would be to put at least
one-tllird Of the line in condition
to be speedily operated upon q
paying basis. "A railway thus far
advanced by private contributions
and unencumbered by debt can
never fail to bond itself for enough
to complete it's construction and
equipment Accordingly it was re-
solved to procure the necessary
legislation to permit the company
to 60 before the people along the
line and, laying the whole matter
before them, invoke their aid. The
executive mmittee were directed
to carry this resolution into effect.
They have procured an Ac, of the
Legislature permitting towns,
township and counties Interested
in the road to subscribe by popular
vote to the capital stock of the
railway, and the movement is in
augurated in the election now a.
bout to be held in Aiken. After
wards we will go to other towns
and counties interested.
Gen. Iagood, in regard to the
subscription the town Of Aiken is,
asked to make, says: So much of
the work has been done between
Aiken and Edgefcld Courthouse
that Capt. Kirk, the engineer Of
the railway, estimates that $4,000
will grade, trestle and crosstie to
latter point. If not another dollar
was subscribed, and her $4,000
was thus expended, Aiken would
thus get assurance Of a direct COM
munication with the Richmond and
Danville system, where we cross
their Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta road at Trenton. How
much this would benefit the town
in facilitating access to it by those
who SO largly patronize it as san
itarium, you can judge better than
l. Passing on beyond Trenton and
reaching Edgefeld, if you stop
there you will open to your trade
region Of country from which
you are now as effectually debarr-
ed as if the Charlotte, Columbia
anb Augusta Road, which crosses
the path, wore g Chinese wall.

and Chicago Railway and Tells
How it Is to be Constructed.
The Aiken papers publish this
week an interesting interview with
Ex-Governor Hagood, president Of
the Carolina, Cumberland Gap
apd Chicago Railway, in which he
gives brief history Of the enter
prise and explains it's present con-
dition.
In 1882 five duly chartered rail
road corporations were consolida-
ted under the name of the present
company, the object being to cou-
sruct a line of road from Aiken, in
this State, to London, Ky. The
stockholders Of the consolidated
railway are the stockholders of the
original companies. A majority
of the stock is held in South Caro-
lima, has been nearly all paid up,
and has been expended in surveys
and constructions in this State.
OF the l25 miles Of the South Car
olina division of the railway, SO
miles are graded.
Gen. Hagood says: AT the time
Of the consolidation contract was
entered into with the Atlantic and
North western obstruction Com
pany of New Jersey for the build
ing and equipment of the entire
line from Aiken to London, KY,
the Construction Company to be
paid in bonds of the railway COM
pany. But it was stipulated by
the Construction Company that it
should not be compelled to COM
mence work until a contract was
made for the sale of the bonds of
the railway company. 1t will be
seen that the construction Of the
railway, either in whole or in part,
was thus made to depend entirely
