Gen. W. w. Humphreys is one of the
salient characters Of Anderson city and
County. He distinguished himself
greatly in the late war, rising from the
rank of Lieutenant to Major, and receiv.

filled with honor many positions of trust
in his County, among those of Commits
sioner in Equity, Probate Judge, Mayor
and editor uf the INTELL1eENcER, and is
now the popular President Of the Savan-
nah Valley Railroad. His title was
derived from an appointment as Major
General of Militia in 1880. - F.
President Humphreys reports the new
railroad as running regularly on daily
schedule, and making prompt ptconnections.
Its passenger and freight business too is
steadily increasing, and through its
agency new era Of prosperity is about

of the road (5s miles) from Anderson to
Mccormick, and can truthfully affirm
that smoother and better constructed
new railway cannot be found within the
| limits of the Union. There are no
rough places and seldom even the slight
est jostIe is perceptible on the entire
route. The people, too, are enthusiastic
over their new outlet TO the sea, and
with properly arranged tariff Of freights
and mutual concessions there is nothing
to prevent an immense trade between
Anderson and her nearest and most
eligible seaport, Savannah.
