November Literary Notes.
A complete and immediate reyolu-
tion of transportation methods, involy-
ing a reduction of freight charges on
grain from the West to New York OF
from so to 60 per cent, rs what is pre-
dicted in the November Cosmopolitan.
The plan proposes using light and IN
expensive .rrugated iron cylinders,
hung on slight rail supported on
poles from a cross-arm-the whole
system involving an expense of not
more than fifteen hundred dollars a
mile for construction. The rolling
stock is equally simple and compara-
lively inexpensive. Continuous lines
of cylinders, moving with no interval
to speak of would carry more grain In
a day than quadruple track rilway.
This would constitute a sort of grain
pipe line.\ The Cosmopolitan also
points out the probable abolition of
street-cars before the coming horse
less carriage, which can be operated
by boy on asphalt pavements, at a
total expense for labor, oil, and inter-
est. of not more than one dollar day.
The Greenwood Journal, of last
week, said, "Mr. Reynolds, a railroad
magnate of Baltimore, and George
Evans, Esq, of Edgeield, were in the
city last Saturday on business con-
nected with the Carolina Cumberland
Gap railroad. The northern terminus
of this road is now at Edgeheld court
house, and it is proposed by the bond
holders, who have recently purchased
the road, to extend it to Greenwood.
The press of the State, led by the Char
lesion News and Courier, are urging
the building of the road to this point,
and later extending it to Greenville
and there tap the main line of the
Southern system. If the road is ever
made any longer there is no doubt
about it's coming by way of Green.
wood. The commercial importance
and the railroad facilities of this city
and the easy grading of the road from
Edgefeld all conspire to make Green.
wood. the most desirable objective
point for the extension of the road
Greenwood has never been known tt
fail to do anything looking to her ad
! yaucenent and to the promotion of th'
. public good and she may be relied
upon IN this instance to do her full
duty"
