practically had not at all. l have
been told, but have had no means OF
verifying it, that the grades OF the
South Carolina Railroad were origin

ions instead of the present method OF
cuts and embankments. When the
West Feliciana Railroad was first put
in operation the rails consisted simp-
" of parallel beams about six inches
square laid lengthwise across ties
four or five feet apart. On the paral-
lei beams were laid bars of flat iron
about 2 1-2 inches wide and SO OF an
inch thick. The end Of one bar would
be pointed and Of the next bar cut
out wedge shaped 50 that the point
would fit into the V of the next rail.
They were fastened to the parallel
beams by nails driven through them
directly down from the top, the head
of the nails fitting into countersinks
in the iron. OF course the pounding
