should be necessary or desirable Tor
Newberry or any OF the Townships

objection.
Now. why did We not survey the
route? Our plan was and ID to run
midway, as far as practicable, between
the two roads that will confront us
all the way to Newberry; 30 that
those who live five miles on either
side of that line might safely aid the
enterprise to The utmost Of their abiIi-
ty. A survey Of the route would cost
a good round sum, besides delay.
When We raise the amount OF bona
ft2e subscriptions the charter requires,
we vii! organize the company, lay out
the route, and go at once to grading.
But when the Company is organized
it will belong to the stockholders, and
they will hardly cheat themselves by
acting in "bad faith" "Truth" fcr

stockholders from Augusta to New

to tap the Augusta and Newberry
road at Fruit Hill, a point in Edge

covers what has been recognized for
many years as the natural highway
from upper Carolina to Augusta,
much oft being along natural level

rivers, on which there are no water
courses or other natural Instructions.
