All.
Only short time ago. some of our CORES
poudents made note that lands had been
brought by syndicate at the crossing OF the
G. c. 4 n. road and the Savannah Valley
Railroad, where 1t was proposed To build .
new town which should draw trade for miles
around, and whose advantages would be in
Strumental in bringing new citizens TO the
inviting fields which lay in close prox atty
The lands were TO be divided and sold In lots
and all sorts of enterprises were expected tc
be born and reared In that section which has
been SO long lacking in those pursuits which
bring prosperity. -
And now 1t Will afford our readers pleasure
to know that Mr.. Pat Calhoun, of New York
has at this time, at Millwood, two civil en-.
gineers engaged in the work making pre-
limiuary survey Of that immense water pow.
er. which has SO long been said TO be, the
best in all this country. The sites for factories
are TO be planned, and the cost OF building q
canal is to be Investigated.
The building of factories at Millwood will
Of course depend upon the cost Of utilizing
the power. If the cost should be low enough
to enable Mr.. Calhoun and his company to
run factories protitaby, the factories will be
built.

ground-as believing that 1t is finer than
the power at Augusta, which is ten thous-

These gentlemen further say, that the canal
can be easily built, and at small cost.
The outlook for building in this county an
immense factory and a booming town was
never better. Owing to the lack OF transpor-
tation, and the inducements which the rail-
road offered, on the Eastern side of the
county, that side Of the county has moi
tlourished during the last forty years. But
now with superior railrosd facilities, de-
mand will be created for the vast areas Of un-
cultivated lands In that section, and the
probability is, that the matchess water pow
er on the Savannah will be put to some use.

The building Of the Savannah Valley Rail-
road and the construction of the g.. e. q N.
road through that part OF the County has PEN
etrated and opened up larger territory than
could be found in other desirable sections OF
the State, and we should not be surprised TO
see another Green wood on the Savannah.
new town, largo factory, and two new
railroads will change the appearance OF all
that country.
Those OF our fellow citizens who own vast
areas OF land, may now become rich in the
enhanced value of their hitherto Improbable
