"rHE ROAD WILL BE BUILT. !"

The following, which We clip from the
Knoxville Tribune, will be read with
interest by our people. We also publish
on our first page some information in
reference to the same road. This is the
road that was chartered by the last Leg
islature to run from Rabun Gap by Wal.
halla, Anderson and other points to
Charleston. The Company evidently
mean business, and the completion of the
road will place Anderson on one of the
grandest lines ir she United States. Our
citizens should be on the alert, and when
the opportunity offers itself show to the
promoters of the enterprise that we are
anxious for the road, and willing to
assist it in substantial way. Here is
what the Tribune says:
The Nashville and Charleston Railway
Company has been moving quietly but
with expedition. The company was or
ganized to build railroad from Nash
Vile to Charleston. The road strikes
southeast from Nashville across the
Cumberland plateau, thence across the
valley of East Tennessee to the waters
of the Little Tennessee, thence with said
river for some distance, finally passing
out of the State at Rabun Gap and thence
to tide water at Charleston.
We can announce most positively that
the road will be built. The company
which is backing it is one of the most
powerful ever organized in this country.
It hes both English and American capi,
tai behind it. Among its American
hackers is Mr.. r. G. Dun, of Dun's Com
mercial Agency. The company does not
ask dollar of assistance from any
source. No city, no county is asked to
assist it.
Some months since four or five corps
of engineers were put in the field to sur.
vey route for the road. The work has
bsen done quietly but thoroughly, and
the survey has been made from Nash
Vile to the coast country. The original
survey was not made by way of Knox.
vile. The company has now determined
to come by way of our city. Just what
route will be followed is not yet definitely
known, but it is an absolute certainty
that the road will come to Knoxville
The original survey crosses the East Ten
nessee at or near Sweetwater.
The company has done no talking but
has been working. More than $l0O, ,00O
has been expended in surveys and other
preparatory work. The road, as stated,
will follow the Little Tennessee River
some distance. A corps of engineer.
will locate this part of the road in few
days. A start will be made from a point
somewhere near Niles Ferry, near the
southern boundary of Blount County,
and about forty five miles located. This
work will be done during the next month
1t will very soon after be let to contract
This will carry the road nearly to Rabun
Gap.

In E1.Andersonian,s Opinion Of Texas.
HOPKINS COUNTY, Texas,

HOPKINS COUNTY, Texas,
Feb. 5, 1883.
Mr.. EDITOR have been receiving q
number of letters from various parties
inquiring as to homes and lands in Texas.
From the numbers coming West, / pre-
sumo there is some dissatisfaction among
the people, and, therefore, they came
West to better themselves. Well, it is
not every one that comes West that bet
ters himself. I have been here since
1883, and have observed very closely,
and find number of new corners that
are not satisfied. / have seen men with
their families stay here only month or
two, and then return to where they came
from. Mr.. J Burroughs, of franklin
County, Ga, has done this, and a mum.
Der of others. People come here from
everywhere Europe and the United
States. The lands are very fine here,
except in East Texas, which is about like
Hart County, Georgia. Middle and
West Texas have fine land will make a
bale of cotton per acre without any ma.
nure. We use no guano or compost here,
and can make from 40 to 100 bushels of
oats, Is to 80 of wheat, 80 to 60 of corn,
and everything else in the same way.
This prairie land, unimproved, can be
had at from $3.50 to $50 per acre; !;
according to location and soil. Timber
land is worth from 81 to IS. Improved
land sells according to improvements.
Health is generally very good, though
we have some chills and fever in certain
places. I have not had a chill since I
have been here, but some have them. I
was at mans house not long since and
he said all were well-I went into the
house and three of>the family we're in
bed with chills. I thought that pretty
sickly.
Some people come West and seem to
think that money grows on trees, but
finding it very different, they become
dissatisfied and go back disgusted. Some
go to sickly sections, among rattlesnake
centepedes, take tablespoonful of
quinine every morning before breakfast,
stay one year and 60 back disgusted with
the whole State. This great place for
landsharpers-buying and selling land
with no title, or the same as none. We
have had some very cold weather this
winter, aud hundreds of cattle have
frozen to death.
Texas is in fine condition financially.
She has one million dollars in the State
treasury as a surplus, besides State
school fund ofs2,00O,OOO, drawing eight
per cent, interest. Loaned to the vari-
Gus counties, the interest only can be
used annually, and world of school

iDquirers. Yours, respectfully,

- Ihe news or an exceedingly SAD
happening comes from St. Georges,
Orangeburg county. Miss Anna Utsey,

near there, was burned to death on last
Saturday afternoon. While engaged in
the performance of domestic duties
around the fire her clothing suddenly
caught on fire. When she discovered
this she ran for water but could find
none. She then ran to the we'll but the
flames had rendered her powerless and
she ran away some distance and fell on

shoes, had been burned off her body and
she was found in dying condition.
Death came few hours later. Miss
