| Church early in life, and was devoted to
her Christian duties. Her remains were

The Columbia Journal of the 9Th inst.
says: "Rairoad Commissioner Duncan
returned to the city to-day from inspect
ing the Port Royal and Western Carolina
Railroad yesterday. He says that he
found the road in good condition and that
it reflects credit upon the receiver, Mr..
John B Cleveland, aud the Superinten-
dent, Mr. A. W. Anderson, for the way
that the road has been managed since
they have had it in charge. The commits
sioner says that it is seldom that road in
the hands of receiver is given so much
attention Mr.. Cleveland is the we'll
known lawyer of Spartanburg, and Mr..
Anderson is one Of the youngest, If not
the youngest railroad Superintendent in
the country. There have been only two
accidents on this road during the past
wear, one of these was caused by negro
taking up rail, and the other caused by
the breaking down of coal car, thus
showing the superior road management OF
the road. The Savannah Valley branch
of the road has been much improved un-
der the new management, and it Is now In
good condition, the arst time that such
has been the case since the road has been
built"
