under tho car shed In Augusta.
This ridgo is a natural road bed
for a railway, anil seems to have
been designed by the Creator ol
our universe for this purpose.
Winterville is built on the highest
point on this railway between the
two cities. After the railway enters
Columbia, McDuffie and Richmond
counties you see a thin, sandy
soil, una travellers noticing the
sfcant crops Wonder how a support
can bo wrung from such Impover

many miles.

And these are the farmers who
