William P. Calhoun, ESQ.,, Abbeville, ;. y.
Dear sir: am In receipt OF your IaVor OF tne
18th. Up TO the present TIME, nothing has
been done in the way Of actually nxine Inc Inc
route of our extension beyond Edgetield. we
have concluded that the time has arrived TO
make an extension. Mr.. Potts with compe-
OF making surveys, and advising us what we
should do. He Informs US that the line be-.
tween Edgefield and Abbeville will be 46H
miles in length and that the curves, grades
and general work will be very unsatisfactory.
He furthermore informs us, that he can reach
Greenwood at SO miles in length with good
grades, curves etc., which, he says, would
make the actual distance to Abbeville, In
connection with the John Robinson system,
only about mile longer than though we went
directly to AbbeVille.
While should feel very sorry indeed 10
disappoint our friends at Abbevtlie, SILL reel
that we must consider this from strictly
business standpoint, throwing aside all per-
sonal feeling in the matter. We expect 70
have all the facts laid before us here next
week, after which may be able 10 speak TO
you more detinately than can In this letter.
In the meantime, shall forward your letter
TO Mr.. Potts, who is.still, believe, at Edge
field.
shall be greatly pleased to hear anything
further you have to say In the matter, and
shall certainly give your communications
most respectful consideration.
Yours truly,
AUSTIN GALLAGHER.

the attendance was 50 great that after the
first two selections Of the programme had
been given the concert adjourned, and the
rest OF the evening was devoted to the festi

The entertainment was gotten up by the
teachers and pupils of the East Broad and
West Broad colored schools and the Beach
institute. Accommodations had been pro-
vided by the committees, it was supposed,
for all who would attend, but the crowd
kept coming and clamoring for admittance
long after the chapel of the institute and the
adjoining rooms were filled. Over
one thousand grown people and
children were there. The accommo-
dations were so inadequate and
the confusion SO great that the committees
decided to postpone the concert, and it will
be given at the theater probably early next
week
The only selections given were solo by
Florida Desverney and chorus under the
direction Of S. B. Morse. After that the
festival began. The entertainment was for

Supt. Saussy Of the Belt Line says he is
getting every thing in shape for Merchants
week. The double track on Montgomery
street, from Liberty street south, past the
Pompeiian auditorium, is nearly complete
This will give mile and half of double
track on Montgomery street.
The difference between the city. ana the
property owners on Montgomery street, OPP
posite the Pompeiian exhibition grounds. as
to the width Of the street at that point, has
been compromised by a part payment of
the demands Of the property owners, and
the Belt Line is enabled by the widening Of
the street to continue its double track past
that point.
A half mile of double track has also been
laid on Barnard street from Anderson
street north to Chatham square. The double
track would be continued to Liberty street,
but the city will not allow the company to
run second track through the squares.
Altogether the Belt Line now has about
three miles Of double track
Supt. Ssussy says he will have seventeen
motor cars running Merchants week and
over half as many tow cars. The large
open cars which have just been received,
with a smaller tow car attached will carry
over 100 passengers.
The telephone company began the work
Of raising the wires around the market yes
terday. They expect to complete the work
by Friday, in which case the current will
be turned on and cars placed on the line in
a day or two afterward. With no further
hitch cars will be running on the Barnard
street line next week. Two cars will be
put on at first, and another will be added
this summer.

RAIL AND CRossrIH.

The thirteenth annual convention of the
American Ticket Brokers' association will
be held in Kansas City beginning on May
Is. The full membership of the association
is 200 and the average attendance at con-
Yentions is 100.
Tue contest between the railroads and the
manufacturers as to prices terminated last
week, when the Pennsylvania railroad gave
out an order for $4,000 tons of standard
sections at $50 ton at the mill, the price
demanded by the manufacturers. Now
that the Pennsylvania has sent its order, it
is believed that other railroads will stand
out no longer, and the manufacturers ex-
pect an abundance of orders from now on.
It is stated that at an early date the SUI
perintendents of rolling stock OF the princi-
pal roads in the country will convene at
some central point to take action of uniform
character as regards adopting some auto
matte coupler. There are now over 200
kinds Of automatic couplers, but not more
than dozen act promptly and are reliable
at tall times, and it is believed that
there will yet be an improvement on the
best of those that are useful.
The general time convention has closed a
session in New York. The most important
business transacted was the changing of the
name Of the body. 1t will hereafter be
known as the American Railway Associa-
ton. Col. II. S. Haines was elected presi-
dent. H. F. Royce, general superintendent
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
railway, was elected vice president. The
executive committee reported that 1875, 900
miles of roads were represented in the asso.
citation. One of the amendments adopted
to trains rules is that green and white flags
shall be carried at night time, as well as

FoR THE CoLosED COLLEGE.

An Appeal TO the Citizens OF Savan-
nah, Chatham County and the First
ConRre ss ionsl District.
The commission appointed by his ex-
cellency, the governor, to locate the state
colored college, has decided TO locate said
college in Savannah. The commission &C.
cepted our offer Of the Warren place, near
Thunderbolt, most beautiful location and
conveniently situated on the Coast Line
railroad. This place consists Of twenty
eight acres and a substantial house Of
twelve spacious rooms. We offered in addi-
ton to this $4,000. This money must be
raised and turned over to the commission
in thirty days from last Saturday, April
II. 1t will be an everlasting shame if this
amount is not raised and the commission
should find it necessary to give the school to
others who should prove more faithful.
This is the first opportunity Savannah has
had to win so glorious a prize, and the citi-
zens, white and black, are hereby most
earnestly urged not to let this opportunity
slip. Brunswick, Darien, Jesup, Black
shear, WRycross, Guyton, Millen, Augusta
and all Of the places to which Savannah is
most accessible, are most earnestly appealed
to for help. The shortness Of the time
should inspire our people and our friends to
action at once. The ministers, teachers and
leading men at all points convenient to
Savannah are humbly urged to take this
matter in hand at once and secure subscrlp-
tions of money and forward the same to
Rev. Alexander Harris, chairman, William
street, Savannah, Ca, or MORNING NEWS
Office. The committee will begin an active
canvass of the city and county at once, and
the amount subscribed will be published in
the MORNING NEWS. Papers favorable to
the enterprise will please copy our appeal.
Respectfully, the executive committee: A.
