boasts that he will be ready and can kill
as many of them as they can him.
The proposed railway between Spartan
burg and Henrietta N c. is being asi-
tated considerably. A business meeting
will be held within the next few DAYS and

Lander's office, when the road was dis
cussed to some extent, and all We're of the
opinion that the line could be easily and
cheaply built as the proposed route is on
very leyetsridge. Those who are at the
mead or the project say that the road will
be built without a doubt.
