a New Railroad.

There is a great deal Of agitation
just now over the proposed new rail
road from Columbia through LexiHg-
ton, Saluda on to Greenwood.
The proposed route traverses one OF
the richest farming sections OF Sou5h
Carolina, and will be Of vast interest
to the people living along the route.
The line proposed will run through
the town Of Lexington, thence through
the river section by way Of Hollow
Creek to Delmar, Mt. Willing, Saluda

Ii Is not always an easy matter for
one who intends 10 keep poultry for
the first time TO make a wise selec-

purpose. Numerous articles have been
written in the poultry papers concern
ing the merits of various breeds. but
as rule these articles have been
written by breeders whose opinions
are pr"jndiced in favor Of the breed
which they keep. Consequently they
are often confusing and misleading 20

writer will endeavor to give an un-
prejrdiecd opinion of the merits Of
the various breeds.
For convenience. We will classify
the breeds into three classes: ]. Egg

breeds which do not come in this
classification, hnt as a rule. they are
