Editors Evening News : The
Augusta, Louisville and Hawkinsvble
Railroad going the Plank Road route
will go by Richmond Factory and
through the village of Hephzibah and
through a large pine forest, two miles
above Hephzibah, a good loca ion for a
steam saw mill, and one mile adjacent
a large kaolin and rock mine. The
kaobn hill and pine forest belong to E.
T. Murphy and N. W. Murphy of Au
gusta, the road will run in three miles
of Richmond Bath, crossing Me Bean
Creek at the old steam mill and cross
ing Brier Creek on the Farmer’s Ridge
Road and running near Mrs. Rey.s’ mill
and not far from Stellaville and then on
to Louisville. Water statious can be
had every ten and twelve miles apart on
the route. Hoping the citizens of Au
gusta and Louisville, and the planters
generally will take an interest in the
road and take as much stock as possible.
It will be a good investment, and the
sooner it can be made the be. t r for the
community generally. It runs through
a favorable country with a distance from
Augusta to Louisville of some 44 or 45
miles. E. P. G„
The above correspondence of the Au
gusta News, leads us to suggest taat
Waynesboro would be a much more
elegible junction with the Central rail
road than Louisville, and the citizens
ot both our town and county should by
no means he upon their backs and let
this opportunity slip through their fing
ers of adding this new and great interest
to our county and ei y. If wo want
advantages, we must seek them, they
are not likely to fn,l into our lap like
ripe fruit with no effort on our part to
obtain them. Let our capitalists be
wide awake in this matter.

Our report of the raid on the (!hina-
men last week, was made up a few
hours after the occurrence, when ru>
mors were fast and furious, and it was
impossible to get the facts. Rumors are
still rife and facts few. The rumors
that the Chinamen were badly beaten
and their property destroyed, ere posi
tively denied. The' facts admitted are
that a party did go to the Chinamen’s
Store and.order them to leave; one of
them readily agreed to do so, and was
not further molested ; the other China
man was stubborn, and was taken out
with threats of lynching for the purpose
frightening him into measures, be soon
weakened, and agreed to leave, was
brought back, the store securely locked,
and the Chinamen left on the next
train. No personal abuse is said to
have occurred. The affair seems likely
now to blow over, without much further
trouble.
The lively in erest which is just now
being manifested in the-ipaiiu acture of
cotton seed oil in various sections of t.>.e
?tate. reminds us that there is not a
manufac uring establishment of any
kind in this county. And as the cotton
seed oil business has proved profitable
wherever it has been tried, and as our
farmers can be induced to raise little
else than cotton—the oounty producing
between 30,000 and 40,000 bales per
annum- -nould our moneyed men not
find a safe and remunerative investment
for their surplus capital in tho erec-
tioti of a cotton seed oil mill ? The
election 'of the mill and the necessary
machinery would cost a comparatively
small sum, probably not more thau
$10,000, and there are gentlemen of
this county who could furnish a 1 the
capital needed. We have in our mind
a mos.t eligible site for the establish
ment of sueh an enterprise, and there
is no disputing the fact that it would
pay. We refer to Mr. E. Newton
Palmer’s mill, near McBean station.---
This mill is located not more thau 75
yards from the railroad, on a stream
which always affords an ample supply
of water, with p’enfcy bf fall far the
driving of the machinery, and we know
this property could be bought at rea
sonable figures. The cotton raised in
the county would furnish nearly 100,-
000,000 bushels of seed, besides the
seed that would be furnished by the
adjacent territory of Richmond, all of
which comd be bought at easy rates
and brought to the mill ’with little
trouble and expenso. Altogether, a
cotton seed oil mill, with the advanta
ges, offered by the above mentioned
lpcation, holds out mere inducements
to the capitalists than any enterprise
which has for a long time come under
our observation.

IMPROVEMENTS.
There has probably been more
new houses built in Waynesboro du
ring the pa*t six months than in any
othe^town in the State, and still there
does not seem to be by any means
enough small cottage buildings to
supply the demand, and rents k*ep
well up. The building of small,
comfortable houses in town is h far
better investment than any railroad
stock in the State, and so it seems
likely to remain fi»r an indefinite
period of time, We have heretofore
jnured our moneyed men to 1 uild
these small houses, for the reason
that every house built would bring
a uew citizen to town who would
bring with him muscle mr money,
and add an item to the importance
of the town, and enhance the value
of all the real estate within the cor
poration. We would like to see a
neat house on every vacant lot in
town,
